The tech billionaire had launched a poll on his X platform, where over 65% of 1.25 million respondents supported creating a new…

President Donald Trump’s administration is once again reportedly taking aim at the Smithsonian Institution for promoting biased narratives, this time at the National Museum of American History’s Entertainment Nation exhibition.

Republicans just delivered Donald Trump a “big, beautiful” legislative win. Now they’re fretting it will lead to some ugly electoral losses. GOP lawmakers are warning that slashing spending on Medicaid and food assistance will cost the party seats in the midterms — threatening their razor-thin House majority — by kicking millions of Americans off safety-net programs. “You would be foolish not to worry about it,” Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) said in a brief interview. “If you don’t keep the voters right with you, you’re going to awaken to a bad, bad, bad day.” Justice voted for the megabill last week,…
New York City leftists stunned the Democrat Party elites when they nominated radical communist Zohran Mamdani as their party’s candidate for Mayor of New York City. Mamdani won the Democrat primary after former Governor Andrew Cuomo initially withdrew from the race on election night in June. Zohran is a self-described socialist with radical ideas and an apparent hatred for Israel. Mamdani has proposed free universal child care, creating city-run grocery stores, rolling out free bus service, and freezing rents on rent-stabilized units. These policies have failed whenever they have been enacted by a wild-eyed communist. But Zohran is clearly the…
