WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump delivered remarks to Gold Star Moms, who lost a child to active service in the U.S. military, and Angel Moms, who lost children at the hands of illegal immigration, in the Rose Garden on Friday.

Former Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen has claimed to have been detained by British authorities after flying to London with his wife and children on Friday. Mentzen, who came in third place in last year’s presidential election in Poland and who serves as the leader of the right-wing populist New Hope party, has accused the UK of becoming a “totalitarian country” after what he suggested was a political detention at a London airport while going through passport control. The anti-mass migration firebrand claimed that his detention was a result of UK authorities believing he was planning to “speak at a…
A North Carolina official recently highlighted possible fraud within his state’s Medicaid program surrounding autism treatments. State Auditor Dave Boliek said there was a suspicious 47,000 percent rise in autism therapy billings that officials are investigating, Fox News reported Saturday. Boliek told Fox: Those are vital services to folks and individuals that need that therapy. But when you have, like in North Carolina, a system that went from $1.4 million or so in total billings for autism therapy to more than $660 million a year in billings on autism therapy within a five-year range, that begs an audit from the…
Almost 600 unopened ballots were discovered in a northern California county months after voters approved a statewide Democratic redistricting measure, a tabulation error election officials called “unacceptable.” The Humboldt County Office of Elections said in a statement reported earlier this week that the 596 sealed but uncounted ballots were left unopened in the bottom of a locked drop box for the November statewide special election. The ballot measure centered on Proposition 50, which will allow the state to draw new congressional districts, that critics say will favor Democrats, a proposal pushed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The uncounted ballots would…
House Democrats reacted with alarm Friday after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a redistricting referendum that Democrats had hoped would dramatically reshape the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, dealing what even some Democrats described as a major setback to their effort to retake the House. The ruling invalidated the April referendum and preserved Virginia’s current 6-5 Democrat-to-Republican congressional split, preventing Democrats from implementing a redistricting plan that could have expanded their advantage to 10-1 in a state where President Donald Trump won 46 percent of the vote in 2024. In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia…
In the wake of being hammered at the polls by the British electorate during this week’s local elections, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer vowed to push forward with his unpopular agenda while wrapping himself in the cloak of the Labour establishment in a bid to cling to power. Amid calls for his resignation coming from nearly every direction after his left-wing Labour Party’s historic losses in the British equivalent to a mid term election, suffering serious losses to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, the Greens, and Muslim ‘Gaza’ independents, Starmer announced on Saturday morning that he would be tapping former…
A majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is at more risk of assassination than other recent presidents, a recent survey from the Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked respondents, “Do you think President Trump is more or less at risk of assassination than other recent presidents?” Across the board, 64 percent said they believe President Trump is at “more risk” of assassination than other recent presidents, compared to 31 percent who said he has “about the same” risk.
