Elon Musk / CBS Tesla CEO Elon Musk has emerged from hiding to comment on President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which is currently working through Congress. He’s quite unhappy with what he’s seeing, particularly after a major alteration was made to the bill late Friday night. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate GOP released the text of the 940-page reconciliation bill just after midnight with revisions made to the previous draft. The legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to…

An article on Wikipedia about the growing scandal over Pakistani-heritage grooming gangs targeting young white women in the United Kingdom and politically-correct government cover-ups of their crimes was nominated for deletion last week by Simon McNeil, a Marxist socialist and science fiction author from Canada who edits as “Simonm223” on the online encyclopedia. He claimed the article was a biased split of the article on child sexual abuse in the UK pushing a “fringe” view. McNeil was criticized on social media for the move, many noting a blog post he wrote that supported exposing children to sexual kinks and fetishes…
An Israeli court agreed to postpone Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing petty corruption trial for a week Sunday after U.S. President Donald Trump repeated demands, though it was unclear if there was a link. As Breitbart News reported last week, Trump demanded on Truth Social that Israeli prosecutors drop charges against his Israeli counterpart — many of which have begun to fall apart anyway — in the aftermath of their joint success in the 12 Day War against Iran. Trump repeated that demand Saturday on Truth Social. Trump also demanded a deal to end the war in Gaza and to…
The New York Times pointed out Saturday that while Democrats once jeered tax breaks for Hollywood from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) as “corporate welfare,” they now plead for those tax breaks, in much larger amounts, with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) obliging. The Washington Post noted Saturday just how dire the “existential crisis” of economic annihilation is in Hollywood today: Over the past decade, total film and TV production in Los Angeles has plummeted by nearly 40 percent, according to data from the region’s official film office. Both big-name blockbusters and experimental indies have fled to other states and countries, looking for cheaper labor and…
Politcal commentator Gretchen Carlson said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that the Supreme Court ruling that a single judge cannot block a presidential order means “we may now have a king.” Carlson said, “The first thing that came to mind today, to me, was that we may now have a king. This is so different from how the separation of powers have worked in this nation for decades and decades. So look, big picture, yes, huge win for Trump. But something I want to bring up tonight is that I believe this will change the way that politics works in America,…

In Japan, there are hundreds of unique Kit Kat flavors you can’t find anywhere else in the world.NurPhoto via Getty Images I don’t care what month of the year it is, you’re not going to find a snow shovel to buy at the Ace Hardware store in Miami, where temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees. However, if you go to Montana or Maine, where snowfall is measured in feet rather than inches, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find one nearly year-round. The point is that while most Ace Hardware stores have a similar look and feel, the management and…
Former Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that in the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats will run on restoring birthright Citizenship. Rose said, “We’ve always relied on not just a set of laws, but also a set of norms. So here’s to hoping that a future Democratic president, and there will be one one day would act in a more—in a manner more respectful of the Constitution and our shared values. But let’s put the Supreme Court ruling aside, because it’s been a fully-owned subsidiary of MAGA for quite some time now.” He added, “Let’s just look at…
