Trump Signals Stronger Response After Iranian Attacks on US Bases

By Amanda Head | Just the News Trump said "They're going to get a beating." The door would open thanks to Trump's fury over the pair of recent attacks on U.S. airbases and outposts in the region. The avenues of freedom for the Iranian people may come from a variety of directions. Following Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) missile attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Jordan, President Donald Trump is now signaling readiness for full-scale military action that could shatter the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges and accelerate an end to the conflict, opening the door for a full-on revolution for the Persian nation.  "We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them [...] We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Trump s...

Great American Outdoors Act 250 Would Tackle National Park Maintenance Backlog

By Kevin D. Roberts and Chris Barnard | Fox News Bill would add a foreign visitor surcharge to help cover $40 billion in deferred maintenance. Conservatives have long understood that conservation is not about locking away America's natural treasures, but stewarding them through responsible use so future generations can enjoy the same public lands that earlier generations worked hard to secure. Just six years ago, President Donald Trump paid tribute to that legacy when he signed the original "Great American Outdoors Act" into law. That bill established the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), which budgeted for countless infrastructure projects within our most precious landscapes. But that program expired last year, threatening the future of A...

Trump Takes Mail-In Voting Dispute to Supreme Court Before Midterms

By Greg Otto | CYBERSCOOP In a Monday filing, the Justice Department said states sued before agencies even decided how the order would work. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to let it enforce an executive order that would restrict mail-in voting, after a federal appeals court kept the order blocked in nearly half the states just months before the November midterm elections. Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices that a Massachusetts federal judge acted too soon when she struck down key parts of the order, which blocked federal agencies from carrying it out in 23 states and the District of Columbia. Sauer said the order only directs agencies to study changes and has not yet produced a final rule, so no state has suffered harm. ...

Trump Rolls Out Self-Funding Immigration Fee System With Tougher Enforcement

By Amanda Head | Just the News The new fees, including a $100 charge to apply for asylum and annual penalties for pending cases, also become a self-funding hammer to enforce stricter borders and deter abuse in a system that President Donald Trump has long derided as broken. On Wednesday, the Trump administration gave notice of the start of a sweeping array of new immigration fees, creating a no-lose scenario where the new fees either deter applicants from coming, thus reducing immigration, or they proceed with their application, putting more money into resources to scrutinize claims. The rollout, triggered by notices under last year's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed last year, layers fresh costs onto everything from work permits for protection seekers to juv...

Trump Election Security Address Draws Sharp Responses Across Colorado

By: Rachee Hatch | KJCT 8 GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) - Colorado state and federal lawmakers from both parties responded to President Donald Trump’s Thursday night address, in which he alleged the nation’s current election system exposes high levels of foreign interference ahead of the November midterm elections. During the address, Trump released unclassified documents he said showed China interfered in the 2020 election, which Trump lost to former President Joe Biden. “For many years I’ve called for bold, swift, and decisive action to protect the integrity of America’s elections,” Trump said. “Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately in a system, and that is to make that system secure, one where cheating an...

Trump Reveals Declassified Election Findings and Calls for SAVE America Act

By Amanda Head | Just the News The documents reportedly reveal that there was a concerted and conscientious effort by the IC not to tell the president (Trump at the time), Congress or the American people. On Thursday at the White House, President Donald Trump addressed the nation and presented new evidence detailing multiple security breaches in elections he said were concealed by a self-proclaimed "shadow government" and the Biden administration. "Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running 'a shadow government' to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known," he said, during a primetime address from the White House. The Chinese hacked while the Democrats denied According to Trump and subsequent documents to be ...

House Approves Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill Sending Measure to Senate

By Alice Gibbs and Amanda Castro | Newsweek The House on Tuesday approved a measure to end the twice‑yearly ritual of changing the clocks, handing President Donald Trump a political win, who has pushed for permanent daylight saving time despite objections from sleep experts and lawmakers in states that would see much later winter sunrises. The proposal now heads to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. The House approved the bill by a bipartisan 308-117 vote, one of the strongest congressional showings yet for ending the twice-yearly clock change. However, Senate leaders have not committed to bringing it up for a vote, and some senators have already indicated opposition, meaning the measure faces a more difficult path despite broad House support. The Sunshine P...

Trump Orders ICE Back to Traffic Stops as Agents Welcome Reversal

By Jennie Taer | The Daily Wire "Not sure how they don't consult Trump about this before they send out guidance to every field office." After just one day of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ordering officers to temporarily stop making traffic stops, President Donald Trump said he’d like them to resume, and federal immigration officers are cheering on his push. The pause on vehicle stops came in the wake of two fatal shootings of migrants by ICE officers in Houston and Maine. ICE said the Houston shooting involved a Mexican illegal immigrant who “weaponized” his vehicle against ICE officers. In the Biddeford, Maine, case, an officer fatally shot a Colombian man who “attempted to flee the scene” of a traffic stop. Both incidents are under investig...
