Supreme Court Reasserts Control Over Rogue Lower Court Rulings on ICE

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist ‘Consistency and neutrality are hallmarks of good judging, and in my view, we abide by those enduring judicial values in this case by granting the stay.’ The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a win for the Trump administration in its bid to enforce immigration laws in California on Monday. The ruling is the latest in a string of SCOTUS orders revoking overreaching injunctions issued by rogue lower court judges. In its 6-3 decision, the high court placed a temporary stay on a lower court injunction that prohibited Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from carrying out deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. The injunction was issued in July by Biden-appointed District Judge Maame E. Frimpong, who argued that plaintiffs would likely ...

USPS proposal highlights risks of mail voting, says election researcher Ned Jones

By Ned Jones | Commentary, The Federalist This problems with postmarks are more reason why we should limit voting by mail to absentee voting with an excuse. The United States Postal Service has announced a proposed new section to its mailing standards that would have a major impact on the return of mail-in ballots, as it would shift the responsibility to the voter to confirm the exact receival date by the postal service. USPS realizes that with their new mail processing system, the postmark is no longer proof of the date that it received a piece of mail. Their solution is to make the customer — in the case of ballots the voter — responsible for confirming the receipt date of their piece of mail. It will be up to the voter to obtain proof of date of receipt, or without it, a ballot...

Biden or Putin: Who poses the greater danger to the world?

By Bill O’Reilly | Commentary, BillOReilly.com My old Fox News teammate Tucker Carlson garnered some attention last week when he told commentator Michael Knowles that he believes Joe Biden is more “evil” than Vladimir Putin. Wow. My new book, “Confronting Evil,” will be out September 9, and Putin is on the cover along with Mao, Hitler, and the Ayatollah Khomeini.  No Joe. A dozen more horrendous miscreants are analyzed inside the book. So, Mr. Carlson’s opinion caught my attention.  Let’s run it down. Tucker Carlson is perhaps the best media marketer in the country.  He’s smart and, very early on, perfected the art of getting attention. Very similar to Donald Trump. In this age of unrestrained social media, provocative statements can ...

Citizen rights at risk as noncitizen voting spreads in U.S. cities

By Charlie Kolean | Commentary, Washington Examiner It may be an off-year election cycle, but the November ballot initiatives are heating up. One particular fight is fundamental to our democracy: citizen-only voting. Most people assume that to vote in the United States, one must be a U.S. citizen. But this is not the case: Only 20 state constitutions include language explicitly confirming that only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in elections. Every other state is vulnerable to cities allowing noncitizens to vote. It is more common than people think. In Chicago, noncitizens can vote in local school council elections. In San Francisco, noncitizens can not only vote in school board elections, but also serve on City Council-appointed commissions. In Wa...

Mass Shooters Who Transitioned Raise Questions Not Answers

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Colorado Politics The 23-year-old shooter of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis was born male. He identified as a woman and legally changed his name before he killed two and injured 18. The shooter of the Nashville Covenant School in March 2023 was born female. She identified as a man and killed six. So was the shooter at a Rite Aid in Maryland, female identifying as male. She killed three and injured three more. And in our backyard, the 22-year-old who killed five and injured 19 at Club Q in Colorado Springs was born male but declared himself nonbinary. The 16-year-old shooter at STEM School in Highlands Ranch was female identifying as a boy. She murdered Kendrick Castillo, the hero who died saving his classmates. Is there a connection ...

NRA Pushes Back as Trump Administration Considers Trans Firearms Ban

By Michael Dorgan , Ashley Oliver | Fox News Department of Justice officials are reportedly considering placing restrictions on trans people after Annunciation School shooting The National Rifle Association (NRA) has sounded off on reports that the Trump administration is mulling a way of limiting transgender people’s ability to purchase firearms. The gun lobby group, the largest in the U.S. with 5 million members, according to its website, released a statement Friday reinforcing its commitment that all law-abiding Americans have a right to bear arms. It comes as Department of Justice officials have had several internal meetings about placing restrictions on trans people after Annunciation School shooter Robin Westman, who identified as trans, killed two people and injured 18 o...

Minimum wage hikes sound compassionate but close the door on opportunity

By Brian Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports A new Rasmussen Reports survey reveals that 40% of Americans now believe the minimum wage should be at least $15 an hour, up from 36% a year ago. That’s a strong sentiment. After all, who doesn’t want working Americans to earn more? But compassion and sound economics are two very different things. In fact, the optimal minimum wage from an economic perspective is zero. This isn't an insult to workers but a recognition that government cannot create prosperity by decree, despite campaign promises. When wages are set by law instead of supply and demand, the first casualties are often those who need an entry point, such as teenagers, part-time workers, and adults looking for a second job to supplement their income. Contrary to...

Deportations won’t stop the damage: Calls grow to rethink visas, welfare and assimilation

By Breccan F. Thies | Commentary, The Federalist Importing culturally foreign, economically dependent people is destroying the American way of life. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Illegal immigration might be the single strongest issue holding the conservative movement together right now. Everyone wants illegals gone, and no one cares if the migrants have committed other crimes or not — this is about the restoration of American culture for Americans to enjoy. National Conservatism (NatCon) had its fifth annual conference in Washington, D.C., this week, where speakers addressed a variety of issues like where the right should be headed on things like gay “marriage,” what America’s relationship with Israel should look like, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, education, and...

Across America States Pass New Election-Integrity Laws to Safeguard Ballot Measures

By Tom Joyce | The Daily Signal THE CENTER SQUARE—The Honest Elections Project says states made significant gains on election integrity laws in 2025. A new report from the group says eight states banned foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns this year, bringing the national total to nine. Six states also banned ranked choice voting in 2025, bringing the total to 17. Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead said states are responding to threats that undermine voter confidence. “In 2025, states across the country took extraordinary steps to ban the foreign funding of ballot issue campaigns and ranked choice voting, two of the biggest threats to election integrity and voter confidence facing the nation, and they did so in record numbers,” Snead said in a stateme...

Air Force admits decorated pilot suffered religious discrimination over COVID vaccine mandate

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The Air Force Review Board found that pilot “was discriminated against on the basis of religion" for objection to orders to take the COVID vaccination. On “all fronts, this is a huge win,” pilot's attorney R. Davis Younts said. The Air Force found that a pilot who faced separation from the military for requesting a religious exemption to the flu vaccine was discriminated against for his religion and should not have been reprimanded. Major Brennan Schilperoort, who has served in the Air Force for 17 years and was a whistleblower over the COVID-19 vaccine, can now request the military branch give him backpay and restore his flight status after he was reprimanded when his Religious Accommodation Request (RAR) wasn’t processed. Schilperoo...
