Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) offered a sharp rebuke of the far-left direction taken by elements of the Democrat Party. Johnson warned that experiments in socialism and communism do not end well. “We use the facts,” he explained. “We make the case. We show them that, when Republicans have been in charge for the last year-and-a-half, we gave the largest tax cut in U.S. history. We cut taxes on tips and overtime, Social Security. We made sure that we have job growth because we had pro-growth policies in the private sector,…

The interesting thing about this segment is that he was talking to Utah’s Republican Governor Spencer Cox, who had just finished trying to make a ‘both sides’ point about political division. Kernen reminded Cox that this is coming from only one side, pointing out that there are even tattoo artists offering specials on neck tattoos mocking Kirk’s shooting. Kernen is absolutely right about this. It’s not enough for the left that someone on their side…
On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Border Czar Tom Homan stated that 40% of people that immigration authorities are arresting are “not a public safety threat and not a national security threat.” Homan said, “Look, if they’re in the United States illegally, they should be worried, because we’re looking for them. The numbers right now are running around 60% criminal and 40% non-criminal. We’re looking for them. And like I say, President Trump said he wants a priority on public safety threats, national security threats. But, as I said from the beginning, that doesn’t mean everybody else…

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said five Iranian crude carriers were destroyed by U.S. airstrikes in response to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launching ballistic missiles at a U.S. Navy warship twice in two days. “The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and…
Jimmy Kimmel returned as host of Live! after a two month hiatus on Tuesday and wasted no time before bashing President Donald Trump, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, and West Wing aide Natalie Harp. The ABC funnyman made Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool puns, cracked wise about the Iran War, added barbs about Trump’s hair, fat jokes, all of it culminating in a Trump-heavy montage. “When I left for summer break in the middle of June, the country was a mess. We were at war with Iran at that time. Gas prices were high at that time. Inflation was high.…
President Trump speaks at the 2026 RNC Midterm Convention -September 9, 2026 President Trump called the Democrats out on stage at the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention over their “bullsh*t” reasons for opposing voter ID.

They come up with more excuses,” he added. The Democrats say requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship will disenfranchise voters, that it’s racist, that it…

Over 1,700 flights were cancelled on Tuesday and hundreds more have been…
