DALLAS — Republicans used their midterm convention this week to ask voters to preserve their congressional majorities and let them “finish the job.”But with few consensus legislative goals, it’s far from clear what job they want to finish.The two-day convention here centered on painting Democrats as an increasingly socialist party that American voters cannot trust with power while highlighting the GOP’s one major victory on Capitol Hill under President Donald Trump’s second term: the year-old tax-cut package known as the “big, beautiful bill.”In contrast, there was little talk from the podium of what Republicans might seek to pass with a…
President Trump participates in an interview with Fox’s Laura Ingraham President Trump on Thursday suggested that he will “just take care of business” and finish Iran off after the midterm elections, as he continues to promise the war will be over after November. Trump has said repeatedly in recent days that the war will come to an end “very shortly” but that the Iranians are trying to make Republicans lose the midterms first. During his RNC address in Dallas on Wednesday, Trump said, “The war will be over very shortly after the election.” “They’re hanging out for dear life, hoping…
Donald Trump said Saturday he would “love to see” a united Ireland, wading into a politically sensitive subject as he embarked on a two-day Irish visit that blurs the lines between his presidency and personal business interests. After meeting Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin, Trump said reunification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland — split for over a century — would be “a fantastic thing”. “The way I look at it, it’s going to happen eventually. It may as well happen now,” he told reporters, adding though that “the UK will have something to say about…
Thursday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) commented on Republican enthusiasm headed into November’s election. According to the Florida Republicans, while the grassroots was fired up, she said there was a “suppression campaign” underway, which she tied to foreign influences, specifically China. “So you’re pretty in touch with the grassroots, Congresswoman,” host Jesse Watters said. “How fired up are they on the Republican side? Luna replied, “Look, the convention yesterday was absolutely packed. I had spoken at around 4:44 Eastern, and what I would say is, the longer that we were there, the more people that…

A Biden-appointed federal judge in San Jose has paused construction of a planned ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations facility outside Gilroy, California, the self-described “garlic capital of the world,” after the State of California and Santa Clara County argued the Trump administration skipped a full environmental review on land that once housed agricultural research labs.

Construction, demolition, and development at the 24.5-acre Holsclaw Road property stay frozen except for immediate safety work. The parties have until September 30 to try…
The farther today’s Democratic Socialists advance, the less they resemble reformers—and the more they embrace policies long associated with communism. It is not difficult, these days, to see the neo-communist flipside of “Democratic Socialists”—once they find power. Indeed, the more the ossified Democratic Party claims that its growing cadre of socialist renegades are not really socialists, the more they act like—and even appear comfortable being called—communists. With every new policy they propose, the socialists have been dropping the pretense that they are not Marxists. How about declaring capitalism a failure? All the socialists now do that—and even Democratic California governor…
WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Two incidents along Ukraine’s borders with Poland and Moldova this week are a preview of potential intensified Russian provocations at Ukraine’s border crossing points with Europe, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. Two people died when Russian drones hit the Starokozache border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova on Tuesday night while a “direct threat” to a Polish-Ukrainian crossing point on Wednesday night was only avoided thanks to cooperation between Warsaw and Kyiv, Tusk said on Thursday. He gave no further details of the incident, nor did he present evidence of Russian involvement. Tusk said he received…
DALLAS—President Donald Trump remembered Charlie Kirk on the one-year anniversary of his assassination on Thursday, saying his murder is “a sad cloud over the country.” Trump’s comments came in response to a question from Breitbart News late Thursday night while departing Dallas after the first-of-its-kind midterm Republican National Convention. “What Charlie did was incredible with young Americans more than anybody else. I mean, I knew him so well, and he was always such a great supporter, and it’s so sad,” Trump said. “I mean, you think about it — it’s just a sad cloud over the country what happened to Charlie,”…
Paris is reportedly seeking to scrap the migrant exchange deal with London, pushing for an EU-wide scheme instead Hundreds of illegal migrants, including more than 40 “age-disputed” children, who were returned from the UK to France under the ‘one in, one out’ deal have disappeared, The Guardian reports, citing human rights organizations.The migrant exchange scheme was brokered by Paris and London last summer and hailed as a groundbreaking achievement at the time.
