Trump Confirms Death of West Virginia Guardsman Attacked in DC

By: Ross O'Keefe | The Washington Examiner West Virginia National Guard soldier Sarah Beckstrom has died from her injuries after she and another soldier were shot Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced. She was 20. Her father, Gary Beckstrom, previously said she wasn’t expected to recover and had a mortal injury. “I must unfortunately tell you that just seconds before I went on right now, I heard that Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023 outstanding in every way. She’s just passed away,” Trump said Thursday evening. “She’s no longer with us. She’s looking down at us right now. Her parents are with her. It’s just happened. She was savagely attacked. S...

The sky is not falling, my friends

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice It’s easy to get swept up in the daily drama of social media — the sky-is-falling headlines, the endless doomscrolling, the “we’re doomed” takes from people who haven’t walked outside to notice the mountains still standing tall. But every so often, someone breaks through the noise with a dose of reality. That’s what podcaster Dan Hollaway did last week on X when he responded to a viral claim that “this administration is losing young voters because it’s obsessed with Israel.” His reply? A blistering reality check that could double as a highlight reel of what’s actually working in America right now. Let’s look at a few of those wins — and maybe take a breath. Start with the economy. We’ve added more than 670,000 net jobs since Ja...

Congress Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Weeks of Gridlock

By: Jordain Carney | Politico The framework lawmakers agreed to Sunday night would not guarantee an extension of the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. The Senate voted to break the shutdown stalemate Sunday, paving the way for the government to reopen as soon as later this week. The 60-40 vote to take the first step toward ending the shutdown came hours after enough Democrats agreed to support a package that would fund multiple agencies and programs for the full fiscal year, and all others until Jan. 30, 2026. In exchange, Democrats have a commitment from the Trump administration to rehire government workers fired at the start of the funding lapse, and the promise of a Senate floor vote in December on legislation to extend expiring Obamacare tax credits. In the end...

FBI Ignored Warnings of Armed Violence, Antifa Activity Before Jan. 6, Lawmaker Says

By: John Solomon | Just the News Numerous confidential informants alerted the FBI prior to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot that there was the strong possibility of “armed” conflict at the U.S. Capitol, but that intelligence was not disbursed aggressively enough to force a change in security that fateful day, the first congressman to review those source reports tells Just the News. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating Jan. 6 law enforcement failures, said he was floored to see the specificity of threats and the consistency in warnings that multiple confidential human sources provided the FBI and that the intelligence was serious enough that it should have prompted more security and possibly even a cancellation of President Donald Trump’s s...

FBI Under Fire After Blaze Report Links Ex-Capitol Officer to Jan. 6 Bombs

By Steve Baker and Joseph M. Hanneman | The Blaze A computer program that compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff produced a 94% match. A forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources. A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs. ‘They were f**king in on it.’ A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters including flexion (knee bend), hip extension, speed, step length, cadence, and varian...

Democrat Whip Defends Using Shutdown as “Leverage” While Families Struggle

By: Hayden Cunningham | The Post Millennial “Shutdowns are terrible. And of course there will be families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of the few leverage times we have." Congresswoman Katherine Clark, the Democratic whip in the House of Representatives, said that although families are suffering due to the government shutdown, the ongoing dispute is a time of political “leverage” for her party. In an interview with Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram, Clark acknowledged the impact of the shutdown but defended Democrats’ strategy. “Shutdowns are terrible. And of course there will be families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of the few leverag...

Lawsuit Claims VA Diverted Medical Resources from Veterans to Aid Illegal Immigrants

Trump Cites Paid Agitators Hints at RICO Scrutiny for Soros Network

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal The American left’s most infamous financial backer could be looking at a federal investigation. On “Fox & Friends” Friday, President Donald Trump said billionaire George Soros could be subject to federal racketeering laws for bankrolling “professional agitators” who have been behind protests around the country. And he cited his own experience at a Washington, D.C., restaurant this week as Exhibit A. “You know they have professional agitators,” Trump told the “Fox & Friends” hosts. “I had one the other night. I went into the restaurant and this woman stood up. I looked at her immediately. She had money… They get paid for it.” The incident took place Tuesday, when Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,...
