Lyle: Are veterans being exploited by companies claiming to support them? 

By Dean Lyle | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Veterans are pillars of our society, honored for their sacrifices and service. Companies like USAA and Navy Federal Credit Union have built their brands around serving military families, often positioning themselves as trusted allies. However, recent legal actions reveal troubling alleged practices that seem to exploit veterans rather than support them. From overcharging to surprise fees, these institutions have faced serious accusations of prioritizing profits over their commitment to the military community.  USAA: A pattern of failures and violations  USAA, founded to serve military members and their families, has faced mounting scrutiny for failing to uphold its promises. In addition to the $64.2 million sett...

Peter Thiel: Migration spikes housing costs, impoverishes young people

By Neil Munro | Breitbart Migration is helping to wreck the nation’s housing market and impose huge costs on young Americans, investor Peter Thiel told the Free Press news site. “The way I model what’s happened in the U.S., in Britain, Canada, a lot of the Anglosphere countries is a … real estate catastrophe,” said Thiel, a billionaire who made his fortune in Silicon Valley by creating Paypal and other Internet-based companies. Even small migration inflows can cause large increases in housing costs, especially in districts where there is little construction, Thiel said, adding: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Truax: Don’t let Trump’s decisive victory lull you into a false sense of election security

By Doug Truax | Commentary, The Federalist The incoming Trump administration must make election integrity a top priority through federal legislation or persuading states to pass reforms. Four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a Republican Congress and the public on his side.

Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 states, Homeland Security warns

By Jennie Taer | New York Post The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned. Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming. The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.

Lame-duck Biden-Harris admin sanctions Israelis, sends $230M to Palestinians

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart The lame-duck Biden-Harris administration is slapping new sanctions on Israelis, while sending nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in additional funding to the Palestinians, adding insult to injury in the closing weeks of its failed policy. The Washington Free Beacon noted Monday: The Biden-Harris administration on Monday unveiled sweeping new sanctions on Israeli Jews, just days after it awarded another $230 million in taxpayer funds to the Palestinians. The back-to-back announcements signal that diplomatic relations between Israel and the outgoing White House will continue to sour until President-elect Donald Trump retakes office next year.

Putin lowers nuclear-strike threshold as Ukraine launches long-range missiles into Russia

By James Lynch | National Review Russian president Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear doctrine Tuesday, reducing its threshold for using nuclear weapons just as the Russian military announced that Ukraine had launched long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. into Russian territory. Putin’s new nuclear doctrine proclaims that Russia can use nuclear weapons in response to an attack from a non-nuclear state with support from a nuclear state, a clear reference to U.S. support for Ukraine. The doctrine formalizes a policy Putin announced in September during a televised meeting with top officials. “[Russian] President [Vladimir Putin] gave the relevant instructions prior. The president himself stated that the preparation of the amendments was in the final stage. The updat...

The case of Justine Bateman—and why gen X broke for Trump

By Peter Savodnik | The Free Press Three days after the election, Justine Bateman, the former Family Ties star, catapulted herself into the political muck with a tweetstorm to her 140,000 followers that began: “Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.”  She continued: “Common sense was discarded, intellectual discussion was demonized. . . Complete intolerance became almost a religion and one’s professional and social life was threatened almost constantly. Those that spoke otherwise were ruined as a warning to others. Their destruction was displayed in the ‘town square’ of social media for all to see.” In other words, she said out loud the thing everyone has been thinking. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FREE PRESS

FBI, DOJ officials with Biden-Harris admin lawyer up in prep for potential prosecutions by incoming AG Matt Gaetz

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial Current DOJ as well as FBI officials are reaching out to lawyers after President-elect has chosen former Rep. Matt Gaetz for US Attorney General. Some of the most senior officials in the federal justice agencies are preparing for potential prosecution during the upcoming Trump administration. According to NBC News, after Trump's victory over Harris, some long-time and senior-level staff at the DOJ as well as the FBI are nervous that Trump appointments such as Gaetz at the DOJ could go after them legally. The selection of Gaetz has specifically made them nervous about possible cases against them, per the outlet. Some FBI officials were "shell-shocked" by Trump's election win.  Trump has long promised to "drain the swamp...

Chinese summer camps teach American kids to be like Red Army soldiers and ‘little’ police officers

By Philip Lenczycki | Daily Caller Thousands of American kids are being sent to camps run by a Chinese influence and intelligence agency that promote Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda and even train some children to act like “Little Overseas Chinese Police,” a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. The Chinese government advertises the “Root-Seeking Summer Camp In China” as an opportunity for ethnically Chinese children living in the U.S. and other countries to immerse themselves in Chinese language and culture. However, a DCNF review of Chinese government announcements and the program’s website discovered the camps are overseen by a Chinese influence and intelligence service. The program not only exposes participants as young as 10 years old to CCP propagan...
