B-2 bomber and F-35 flyover greet Putin as Trump sets high-stakes Alaska stage

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News Russian president looked up as aircraft that recently struck Iranian nuclear facilities flew overhead with F-35 escorts As President Donald Trump greeted Russian President Vladimir Putin on the tarmac at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a B-2 stealth bomber soared overhead, flanked by four F-35 jets.  Putin looked up at the sky as the planes buzzed overhead while he walked alongside Trump, and then made a comment to the U.S. president.  The display was as much a symbol as it was a show of force—a pointed reminder of America’s military reach at the very moment the two leaders prepared to discuss the future of global security. The dramatic arrival underscored the high-stakes nature of the Alaska summit, the first face-to-face m...

Inflation relief hands Trump a talking point on tariffs and the economy

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal President Donald Trump took a shot at Goldman Sachs’ CEO and its economists Tuesday while touting July’s inflation number, which came in cooler than expected. Goldman Sachs was among the many investment firms that predicted in April that Trump’s tariff policy would be inflationary, tank the stock market, and likely cause a recession. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index rose 2.7 percent in July compared to the same month last year and rose 0.2 percent from June. That compares to a 2.8 percent increase predicted by Wall Street, according to CNBC. Trump responded to the report, posting on Truth Social, “Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs, which has been incredib...

BY ALANNA DURKIN RICHER AND MARIA VERZA | AP WASHINGTON (AP) — Mexico sent 26 high-ranking cartel figures to the United States Tuesday in the latest major deal with the Trump administration as American authorities ratchet up pressure on criminal networks smuggling drugs across the border. Those handed over to U.S. custody include Abigael González Valencia, a leader of “Los Cuinis,” a group closely aligned with notorious cartel Jalisco New Generation or CJNG. Another defendant, Roberto Salazar, is wanted in connection to the 2008 killing of a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy. Other prominent figures have ties to the Sinaloa Cartel and other violent drug trafficking groups. The transfers are a milestone for the Trump administration, which is made dismantling dangerous drug cart...

Texas House frozen for a second week over GOP map push

by Maddie Biertempfel | KDVR FOX 31 WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The redistricting fight continues in Texas, as State House Democrats remain out-of-state for a second week in a row.  “A quorum is not present,” Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows said Monday before the body adjourned.  More than 50 Democrats have fled Texas, and there aren’t enough lawmakers left to vote.  “We intend to kill the first called special session,” State Rep. Mihaela Plesa (D-Texas.) said.  A group of those Democrats joined Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin in Chicago Monday.  “It isn’t just a Texas issue. This is an American issue. An issue as to whether or not there’s due process and fairness in our politics,” Sen. Durbin said.  READ THE COMPLETE STORY AT KDVR FOX 31...

Boebert gets Trump nod for another run in Colorado’s conservative stronghold

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Calling her a "MAGA Warrior," President Donald Trump this week endorsed U.S. Rep.

DOJ cracks down on noncitizen voter rolls under Trump’s election integrity order

By Ashley Oliver , David Spunt | Fox News Civil Rights Division seeks voter registration data with emphasis on identifying noncitizens on rolls Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed Department of Justice (DOJ) officials to probe election practices throughout the country as part of the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on federal election laws. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division is largely leading the effort, which has involved seeking information from states about their election practices and voter registration lists, sometimes known as "voter rolls," and placing an emphasis on identifying any noncitizens on them.  "Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls. That's the foundation for secure elections," a DOJ source told Fox News. "There's been a culture of...

President Trump’s DOJ launches nationwide voter roll investigation ahead of midterm elections

By Jim Hoft | The Gateway Pundit President Trump’s Department of Justice has officially launched a sweeping nationwide investigation into bloated and corrupted voter rolls across the United States. According to Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie, the effort comes directly from a March executive order signed by President Trump, tasking Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ with coordinating with state attorneys general to investigate and prosecute illegal voter registrations — including felons, dead voters, and foreign nationals. On March 25, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” The order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to coordinate with state attorneys general and election officials to i...

TOTH: Trump Finds His Perfect Wingman in Susie Wiles

By Michael Toth | Commentary, The Hill Like President Trump or not, his second term is going much better for him than his first was. This time eight years ago, his presidency was in disarray, reeling from the Russiagate probe and the Senate’s rejection of ObamaCare repeal. That’s night and day from the current administration’s early victories from the tax-and-spending megabill, immigration and universal injunctions. Even European leaders and Ivy League universities are now heeding Trump’s demands. The president’s approval ratings are 5 percentage points higher now than at the same time in his first term, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate poll. Pundits have credited White House chief of staff Susie Wiles for the new administration’s winning streak. But less has been w...
