A district judge appointed by former President Barack Obama has upheld her own order from late last week blocking a provision of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” that defunds abortion giant Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued an amended temporary restraining order on Friday explaining why she decided to block the provision ahead of a hearing — after releasing an initial order on July 7 blocking the provision with no explanation, just hours after Planned Parenthood filed its lawsuit. Talwani released the updated order after the Trump administration asked her to dissolve what it called…
Rep. Thomas Massie announced Tuesday he’d kickstart a long-shot procedural maneuver to force a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The Kentucky Republican, alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), is launching a so-called discharge petition to bypass leadership and allow a floor vote on the release of the materials — provided the petition gets the 218 lawmaker signatures. “We all deserve to know what’s in the Epstein files, who’s implicated, and how deep this corruption goes,” Massie wrote on X. “Americans were promised justice and transparency.” The discharge petition gambit is rarely successful, with many majority-party members hesitant to buck their…
US President Donald Trump has told reporters that his recent ultimatum to Moscow and promise of weapons for Kiev do not mean he is “on Ukraine’s side” in the ongoing conflict.On Monday, the US leader said he was “very, very unhappy” with Russia, warning of “severe” secondary tariffs of up to 100% if no progress is made in diplomacy within 50 days. He also announced upcoming deliveries of advanced weapons systems to Ukraine, which are to be funded by European NATO members.Pressed by reporters on Tuesday, Trump insisted he is “on nobody’s side” and still hopes to resolve the conflict…
President Trump on Tuesday had a playful moment with the reporter, who asked for details on the President’s last conversation with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who Trump has repeatedly attacked for refusing to lower interest rates. Recall that Jerome Powell cut interest rates 50 basis points in September when inflation was MUCH HIGHER to boost Kamala Harris. It is obvious that Jerome Powell is playing politics. But Powell has allegedly said he wants to go down in history as “someone who held the line against Trump,” Aurel Hizmo, who served as a Principal Economist at the Fed, told an…
Even while the search for missing people in flood-ravaged Texas continues, the politicized invective has come from the Left. Perhaps the most shocking comments came from Dr. Christina B. Propst—a Houston-based pediatrician who mocked the victims and their families because she perceived some of them might have voted for Donald Trump. Propst—who was fired by her employer—posted on Facebook: May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts. Sade Perkins—who had been appointed to her position by Houston’s former…
Bill Kristol’s NeverTrump group is leading the backlash against a Silicon Valley investor who says gifted Americans are being shut out of top-flight careers by elite support for migrants and diversity.“Geez, that sounds a little bit like weird racialist thinking,” wrote Kristol’s deputy, Jonathan Last.“If you’re a family… where I grew up [Wisconsin], and you’ve got a smart kid, and you think you’re going to get them into a top university in this country… there is no chance,” investor Marc Andreessen told his rapt audience at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation in May. He added:Breitbart News posted Andreessen’s criticism on July 9, and…
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested what officials are calling “monstrous” illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes, most against children, across the United States over the weekend. “Over the weekend, our brave ICE agents arrested monstrous illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes, including rape of a child, sexual assault, and possession of child pornography. ICE is putting their lives on the line to keep America’s children and families safe,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement: Yet, they are now facing a nearly 700 percent increase in assaults against them as gutter politicians attempt…
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are calling on Republicans to compel Justice Department leaders to testify about their handling of matters related to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Their demand, which House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is unlikely to entertain, follows the DOJ’s announcement that there was no credible evidence of a “client list” or that Epstein blackmailed powerful people to whom he trafficked women. The issue has united an unlikely coalition of broad swaths of President Donald Trump’s base and Democrats, who are pushing for greater transparency from the administration. Judiciary Democrats want…
Days after she offered to be deposed in Congress on the Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell sees her chances of an appeal of her sentencing dwindle. In the midst of the Epstein files controversy, the ‘disgraced socialite’ Ghislaine Maxwell is back in the headlines. ‘G-Max’ grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth as the youngest daughter of British media mogul (and alleged Mossad spy) Robert Maxwell. Once Maxwell ‘fell from his boat’ and died, it became clear he had been plundering the pension funds from his companies. Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and then-President Bill Clinton/photo by Ralph Alswang, White…
On the verge of the debut of the much-awaited Marvel Studios version of the Fantastic Four, some on social media are mocking a video game promotion tied to the film. The producers of the film are teaming up with a company that markets video game skins for gamers. In this case, they are creating gaming skins of the superheroes for the popular game Fortnite. Unfortunately for both the company and the movie, the phrasing of the collaboration took an all too easily mockable turn. Internet wags just could not let the phrase “Fantastic Four skins” go unnoticed. The mocking flowed…
