Secretary of War Vows to Restore Strength and Standards to U.S. Forces

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal I’ve witnessed many moments of “America is back” catharsis this year, but few have been quite as inspiring as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s declaration that he will strive to make every unit the efficient killing machine that he’d be proud to see his own son enlist to join. Speaking at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, Tuesday, Hegseth didn’t just discard what he rightly described as the “debris” of wokeness at the War Department—he also laid out a clear litmus test as he looks to whip the military into tip-top shape: what he called the new War Department golden rule. “Would I want my eldest son, who is 15 years old, eventually joining the types of formations that we are currently building?” the secretary asked. ...

FBI informant exposed as serial killer after years of deception

BY Peter D'Abrosca | FOX NEWS Scott Kimball received 70-year sentence for killing four people while working as confidential informant DENVER – A former FBI agent says a serial killer who doubled as an FBI informant for years manipulated agents into believing he was helping them, all the while preying on unsuspecting victims.  Scott Kimball will likely spend the rest of his life in a federal prison in Colorado after he was sentenced to 70 years in 2009. He pleaded guilty to killing four people between 2003 and 2004, and his number of victims could be much higher, according to former FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing.  "He made a game out of tricking the FBI," Grusing told Fox News Digital, adding that Kimball's case was unprecedented. "As long as...

Congress Gridlock Forces Government Shutdown as Spending Talks Collapse

By Elizabeth Elkind, Alex Miller | Fox News Thousands of federal workers to go with out paychecks, could face firings. The federal government is officially entering a partial shutdown on Wednesday after the midnight funding deadline passed with Democrats and Republicans failing to agree on a funding bill. An earlier attempt by Senate Republicans to pass a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 government funding levels, called a continuing resolution (CR), was sunk by Democrats who were furious about being sidelined in shutdown negotiations. The bill, which would have given Congress until Nov. 21 to set FY 2026 funding priorities, passed the House largely along party lines on Sept. 19. The Senate is expected to vote on the same bill again on Wednesday, with more votes to...

Situational Outrage: How Democrats Normalize Political Violence

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Two recent House votes reveal a troubling trend about the current stance of one of America’s major political parties. In June, following the assassination of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, the House acted swiftly and unanimously to condemn political violence. The vote was clear and bipartisan, with every member present indicating that killing a public official is beyond partisan bounds. Weeks later, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a resolution to condemn his murder and reject political violence split the House. Leadership urged support, but many Democrats voted no, abstained, or stayed away. Progressive leaders used the moment to disparage Kirk’s life and work. The split was so sharp that House cons...

From mourning to mission: TIME recognizes Erika Kirk among 100 most influential rising stars

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial "Now raising two young children without her husband, what Erika Kirk models to America’s political leadership is the strength of resilience and grace." Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and new CEO of the nationwide conservative organization, has been named one of TIME’s 100 "most influential rising stars" in the world. Kirk is listed under the "Leaders" category alongside figures like White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and journalist Bari Weiss, among others. Kirk’s entry in the list noted her forgiveness for her husband’s killer, which was issued at his memorial service held just 11 days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a stop at Utah V...

Hamas Faces Historic Choice as Trump Pushes Middle East Peace Deal

By Amanda Head | Just the News "It must be done," said Israeli PM Netanyahu. The ball is now in Hamas' court, but there's a plan to move forward even if Hamas does not agree. On Monday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a peace plan to end their conflict with Gaza. Hamas must now agree to the terms.  "This can be done the easy way or the hard way, but it must be done," Netanyahu said in a statement to the press at the White House. The plan received praise from Republican members of Congress, but also from unexpected sources like the Palestinian government, which serves as the bureaucratic arm of Gaza governance. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wisc., told Just The News, "Think about when President Trump went to the Arabic cou...

When Justice Becomes Partisan, Freedom Dies

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Picture, for a moment, a reversal of roles. Suppose a radical on the right assassinated one of the most visible voices on the left in front of live cameras. Imagine if, after that horror, crowds of conservatives cheered, called for more, and excused the violence as justified. Picture further attacks - one shouting slogans, another storming a newsroom, a sniper targeting a Planned Parenthood clinic - and all of them part of an ongoing pattern.  Would there be any question how the left would react? Their calls for action would be immediate, sweeping, and relentless. This thought experiment matters because it exposes a double standard. Violence should not be judged by the ideology of the perpetrator. Violence is viole...

Government Shutdown Explained: Who Works, Who Doesn’t and the Price Tag

By Alex Miller | Fox News Democrats demand Obamacare subsidy extension, while Republicans push for clean funding bill as Wednesday deadline barrels near. The clock is ticking to fund government, and so far, lawmakers do not have a path forward to avert a partial shutdown. The Senate returned to Washington, D.C., on Monday, and congressional leaders are slated to meet with President Donald Trump to negotiate a deal on funding the government. But the last week has seen both sides point the finger at who would own closing the government. Lawmakers have until midnight Wednesday to pass a short-term funding extension, or else the government will close. And if it does, it would be the third shutdown under Trump. A government shutdown happens when Congress can neither pass all 12 a...

Michigan church massacre: Leavitt points to anti-Mormon hate as Trump calls it ‘attack on Christians’

By Emily Crane | New York Post President Trump blasted the deadly shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Michigan on Sunday as an attack on Christians — as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated the gunman “hated people of the Mormon faith.” “This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in the wake of Sunday’s carnage in Grand Blanc Township that left at least four dead and wounded eight others. “THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!” The FBI was still working to determine what motivated the maniac — identified as 40-year-old Iraq War vet Thomas Sanford – to ram his US-flag adorned pickup truck in...
