Treasury Secretary Says Massive Federal Fraud of Up to $600 Billion a Year is Draining US Budget

By Matt Vespa | Townhall Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently visited Minnesota, where he spoke with citizen journalists, local politicians, and law enforcement officials about the ongoing fraud allegations that have engulfed the state. The amount of money stolen is reportedly in the billions, maybe even the hundreds of billions. That figure was corroborated by Mr. Bessent, who said that on average, around 10 percent of the budget, around $300-600 billion, is stolen every year. He made these points to reporter Christopher Rufo: https://twitter.com/TheChiefNerd/status/2010391724410261880?s=20 This story comes after YouTuber Nick Shirley posted a viral video where he exposed these reportedly fraudulent daycare centers, the most infamous being “The Learing Center.”...

Election Case Developments Raise New Questions for Hillsdale County Leaders

By: Staff |Commentary, Hillsdale Conservatives For more than a year, the case of People v. Scott has been framed as a test of whether a township clerk defied lawful authority. That framing no longer survives the courtroom record. What now exists, undeniably and permanently, is sworn testimony by state and county officials admitting that they acted without legal authority, followed by a judicial dismissal of the only charge that justified a raid, a search warrant, and years of public accusation. At this stage, the most serious question facing Hillsdale County is no longer about one township clerk. It is about why the officials who are legally obligated to act when credible evidence of unlawful conduct is revealed have chosen not to. The Record Is No ...

One of these scenes is not like the other! 

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A protest is going on.  In Scenario One,  a woman starts to enter a secure area via a broken window. An officer inside the secure area, pulls his gun and shoots the woman dead. In Scenario Two,  a woman has been obstructing officers in their duty to enforce the law. The woman, using her car as a weapon, drives her vehicle toward the officer, hitting him — and being shot dead by the officer. In Scenario One, the female protestor has no weapon and has not been impeding officers in the performance of their duty.   In Scenario Two, the female protestor has a weapon — the vehicle she is driving and is using it to impede and possibly injure officers and bystanders. ...

17 Republicans Break Ranks to Advance Jeffries Led Obamacare Extension

By George Caldwell | The Daily Signal The House of Representatives passed a three-year extension of COVID-19-era premium tax credits on Thursday, as a group of Republicans defied House leadership to back the Democrat-led measure. The extension passed by a 230-196 margin, with 17 Republicans joining 213 Democrats in voting for a policy which Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., and the majority of the House Republican conference has opposed for months. Five Republicans did not vote. A group of moderate Republicans joined Democrats to successfully control the floor and pass the legislation.  READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Riley Gaines Warns Conservative Infighting Could Hand Power Back to the Radical Left

By: Riley Gaines | Commentary, Fox News Despite our solid advantage in the political arena, some on the right seem to have already forgotten who the real adversary is. That's a major mistake The week before the 2025 election, the Democratic Party’s undisputed leader, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, got a bit sidetracked while campaigning on the trail for the radical Zohran Mamdani in New York City.  After simply pointing out how destructive the new radical left is shaping up to be, as many did, she decided to rage-tweet at me for my well-known stance that men shouldn’t be in women’s sports. Her claim was essentially that if I just swam faster in college, I would have beaten the man I was swimming against. https://twitter....

Veto Override Attempts Collapse as Most Republicans Side With Trump

By Emily Brooks and Sudiksha Kochi | The Hill The House on Thursday failed to override President Trump’s vetoes of two previously uncontroversial bills concerning a Colorado water project and expanding lands of a tribe in Florida. The move showcases House Republicans’ loyalty to the president and support for his political battles, as the vetoes had been seen as instances of Trump acting on political grudges. A vote to override Trump’s veto on a Colorado water project — a bill spearheaded by Trump ally Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — failed 248-177-1, with 35 Republicans voting with Democrats to override the veto and one Republican, Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.), voting present. A vote to override Trump’s veto on expanding lands for th...

Media Reports Omit Key Detail As ICE Agents Targeted By Vehicle Attack

By: Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist It didn’t take long, but America’s propaganda media have (unsurprisingly) already begun to whitewash the anti-ICE violence at the heart of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials. On Wednesday, a U.S. immigration official reportedly fired upon and killed a woman who was allegedly antagonizing agents during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The most pertinent detail about this story, however, is that video of the incident appears to show the suspect in question attempting to run down an agent with her vehicle. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin provided further information about the incident, writing on X, “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targe...

Democratic Socialists of America Push Pro Maduro Protests as Ties to NYC Mayor Draw Scrutiny

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The Democratic Socialists of America has long been closely-allied with the Maduro regime. Now, Maduro is sitting in a prison cell in a city presided over by a NYC mayor who is a member of the DSA. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which counts New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a key member, has been closely allied with Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro for years, and is now leading protests in the U.S. against the communist dictator’s arrest by the United States as Maduro sits in a NYC jail cell. The DSA International Committee’s website touts its “Venezuelan Solidarity” and its “Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution!” — led by former Venezuelan socialist strongman Hugo Chavez and continue...

Trump Administration Exposes Billions in Foreign Funding to US Universities

By Steven Richards | Just the News Early in his second term, Trump directed the Education and Justice Departments to enforce federal laws surrounding the disclosure of foreign funding on U.S. campuses after what he viewed as lax enforcement during the Biden administration. With a new tool publicizing foreign funding to U.S. universities, the Trump administration has fulfilled an early promise to end secrecy around contributions from other governments and to ramp up public scrutiny of such contributions. The data show that the top ten contributors provided nearly $63 billion in foreign funding to higher education institutions. Several of these governments are close U.S. allies and partners, including the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan.  Problematic cont...

If regulators make the rules, what is Congress doing?

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com An interesting case in Tennessee focuses on Congress delegating its legislative power to others – for decades. Not just to executive branch agencies, but in some situations to anyone at all. In Tennessee Riverkeeper v. City of Luttrell, an environmental group from another state (Alabama) sued the tiny town of Lutrell, population 1,000, over its wastewater treatment facility. Neither the federal EPA nor state environmental regulators had any problem with Lutrell. But in the Clean Water Act of 1972, Congress explicitly authorized “citizen suits,” whereby anyone can file suit to enforce the law. Like legalized vigilantes. Lutrell, the boyhood home of Chet Atkins, fought back, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether Congress h...
