Government Shutdown Exposes Massive Abuse in EBT System

By Matt Walsh | The Daily Wire Many people receiving food stamps would rather rob you than have to pay for their own groceries. Ever since the government shutdown began a month ago, it’s been a challenge to identify anyone in real life — outside of government employees — who has noticed or cared in any meaningful way. Even Democrats don’t seem particularly bothered by the shutdown. They’ve been spending most of their time lately complaining about the renovations that are underway in the East Wing of the White House — which is the kind of thing you complain about when you desperately need to find something to complain about, but you have absolutely no other options whatsoever. Even if you normally don’t care much about how the government spends your money, this is the kind of dev...

The Case of Ian Roberts: A Slap in the Face to Law-Abiding Citizens

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The arrest of Ian Roberts, former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, is more than a scandal. It is an insult to every law-abiding citizen who plays by the rules, pays their taxes, and expects their government institutions to uphold the law with fairness and integrity. Roberts, an undocumented immigrant with a final deportation order, was entrusted with the leadership of Iowa’s largest school district. For this role, he collected nearly $300,000 a year in taxpayer money. Parents who struggle to pay rising property taxes funded his salary and benefits, even while their children’s classrooms lacked resources and their teachers went without competitive pay. How could this happen? According to federal filings, Roberts...

The Marxist roots of America’s racial unrest

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Michael Hancock’s Undercurrent How the Communist International weaponized race — and why its echoes still divide us today. In October 1928, the Communist International — the Moscow-based command center for global revolution — issued an extraordinary directive. Buried in the archives of the Political Secretariat of the Communist International, the document was titled “Resolution on the Negro Question in the United States.” It did not read like a humanitarian plea to end racial injustice. It read like a military plan. It declared: “The Negro working class has reached a stage of development which enables it, if properly organized and well led, to fulfill successfully its double historical mission: to play a considerable role in the class struggle ...

FBI and DOJ Coordinated with White House on Secretive ‘Arctic Frost’ Surveillance of Trump Associates

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News Evidence continues to emerge showing the top levels of the Biden Administration involved in the investigations into once-and-future rival Donald Trump. Members of the Biden White House and leaders at the Biden-era Justice Department and FBI were all involved in efforts linked to the launch of the Arctic Frost investigation which targeted then-former President Donald Trump and MAGA World over the events surrounding January 6, 2021. Recently-declassified revelations related to the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” investigation chronicle the 2022 lawfare assault against then-former President Donald Trump and MAGA world, as criminal inquiries — which would soon lead to criminal charges — spun into high gear as Trump leaned toward running for p...

Democrats Warned to Ditch Progressive Language After New Report Shows Party Drift

By: David Weigel | Semafor The Scoop Democrats have badly weakened their party with left-leaning ideas and rhetoric, growing only with self-described “white liberals” while losing ground with other voters, according to a new center-left group’s report shared first with Semafor. The group, called Welcome, consulted hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its broad findings, including that 70% of voters think the Democratic Party is “out of touch.” Most voters, the group found, believe the party over-prioritizes issues like “protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” and “fighting climate change” while not caring about “securing the border” or “lowering the rate of crime.” (Welcome began as a PAC in 2022, then founded a nonprofit with the same name for political res...

Young Conservatives Find Their Voice on America’s Campuses

By Julia Steinberg | Commentary, The Atlantic College campuses today have a reputation for being hostile to right-leaning students. As a recent graduate who became a conservative in college, I can’t say I entirely agree. Yes, we’re outnumbered, and yes, our ideas often get disregarded. Being a conservative might be socially disadvantageous. But if you want to know where the real political energy is on campuses, it’s on the right. The recent killing of Charlie Kirk, and the flood of interest in his organization, Turning Point USA, has drawn attention to college students’ appetite for conservative ideas. I was not particularly inspired by Kirk in my personal ideological transformation as a student at Stanford University; Turning Point didn’t have much of a presence on campus ...

Inside the Radical Agenda Shaping America’s Top Teaching College

By Catherine Gripp| The Federalist “Even my teacher at the first day of class, she said, ‘everything is political,’ and I didn’t understand what she meant until I started doing the content.” Adrianna Mobley should have been excited to be accepted to Michigan State University’s elementary education program, ranked the top elementary program in the nation. Excited, that is, until she stepped into her “Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education” class this fall. Required for all elementary education majors, the class dives deep into the demonization of free market principles, meritocracy, and American values. Higher education isn’t a vacuum. Colleges of education and far-left teachers unions are known to push curriculum satura...

Lawmakers Push Citizenship Requirement After Startling Voter Roll Discoveries

By: Amanda Head | Just the News In a state like Texas with stringent voting checks, over 2,700 illegal immigrants slipping through the cracks and onto the voter rolls highlights an issue that is much worse in states with lax laws. The dual revelations that an illegal alien school administrator from Iowa made it onto the voter rolls in Maryland and that over 2,700 noncitizens escaped strict voter ID checks to qualify to vote in Texas are creating new momentum for creating a nationwide citizenship check system for elections. "Many folks that come into my office will tell me, and anyone who will listen, this is the biggest issue in the country. Democrats don't want tightly run elections," Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., told Just the News on Thursday night. "We al...

Judge Demands Big Tech CEOs Explain Role in Algorithmic Censorship Push

By Dan Frieth | Reclaim The Net For the first time, design choices, not just direct speech, are being treated as moral acts in a court of law. Three of the tech industry’s most recognizable leaders, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Evan Spiegel of Snap, and Adam Mosseri of Instagram, will be required to testify in court early next year. The order came from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who ruled that their participation is essential in a lawsuit alleging that social media platforms were deliberately designed to harm young users’ mental health. Attorneys for the companies had tried to prevent the CEOs from appearing, arguing that earlier depositions and other executive testimonies already provided sufficient information. Judge Kuhl disagreed, stating, “The testimon...
