First Lady Melania Trump’s supporters are organizing a grassroots boycott of advertisers for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! amid a report saying that Disney is “ready to pull” the plug following the left-wing TV host’s comments fantasizing about President Donald Trump’s death just days before the third documented assassination attempt on his life. Kimmel is facing intense backlash from scores of fed-up Melania Trump fans after he called the First Lady an “expectant widow” before a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening. “Starting today, I won’t buy any products advertised on the @jimmykimmel Show,” one…

An arcane financial policy idea that conservatives love to hate has become a perpetual nightmare for House Speaker Mike Johnson. House Republicans have been pushing legislation for years that would ban the Federal Reserve from creating a central bank digital currency. Republican hardliners have repeatedly pushed to ban a CBDC in key bills that require Democratic support in the Senate to pass, imperiling their path forward. Conservatives secured their biggest victory on the issue yet Wednesday after convincing GOP leaders to combine the digital currency ban with a bill reauthorizing government spy powers set to expire Thursday. That’s setting up…

Armed colonists burn, beat, and kill with near-total impunity – because their violence serves a larger system of land theft and expulsion Almost daily, there are updates on brutal attacks by armed Israeli settlers – really, colonists – against Palestinians. They shoot or ferociously beat – sometimes to the point of murder – Palestinian civilians, male and female, young and old, including entire families.These attacks have been occurring for decades. I’ve written about them many times, including what I saw in different regions of the West Bank during my eight months there in 2007. Back then, the violence was already horrific. Now,…

Anti-socialist Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado confirmed Tuesday that she intends to run for president in the event a free and fair election takes place in the South American country. Venezuela is currently going through a new chapter in its decades-old political crisis since President Donald Trump authorized a U.S. law enforcement operation in Caracas on January 3 that led to the arrest of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, both of whom are presently undergoing trial proceedings in a New York court on multiple drug trafficking charges. Delcy Rodríguez is currently serving as “acting president”…

A high cost of living stands as the top financial problem for Americans, an April 2026 Gallup survey revealed. The survey identified Americans’ top four financial problems in 2026, listed as the high cost of living (inflation), energy costs (oil and gas prices), the cost of owning or renting a home, and healthcare expenses. More specifically, the cost of living emerged as the top financial concern, chosen by 31 percent of respondents. While that is down from the 41 percent who identified that as their top financial concern in 2024 – during the Biden administration – it is still two points…

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) grilled an abortion advocate on her “favorite method” of abortion during a Thursday hearing on Capitol Hill.  Gill pressed Democrat witness Jessica Waters and visibly rattled her with the gruesome details of abortion procedures, during a hearing about the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. When Gill first asked Waters what her preferred method of abortion is, she pivoted. “I’m an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care,” she replied.  Undeterred, Gill pushed Waters to answer. Waters is considered an “expert” in “reproductive…

Speaker Mike Johnson is fighting multiple separate revolts within his party while the vote on the Senate-backed budget resolution has been held open for nearly two hours. Johnson has spent Wednesday trying to push a series of legislative priorities through his chamber, including the farm bill as well as the budget framework, which would set up a path for funding immigration enforcement amid a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Midwest and farm-state Republicans have so far withheld their votes for the budget measure in a revolt over Johnson agreeing to decouple a measure from the farm bill that…

RT asks how we got here, and who – if anyone – is really winning in the Persian Gulf?April 29 marks 60 days since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran. The initial hours of the conflict were marked by extreme brutality. An American missile strike killed more than 160 schoolgirls at an elementary school in Minab and dozens of the Iranian political and clerical elite were killed along with their families in missile attacks. A…

Over 300 people marched against mass migration and undocumented immigrants in Pretoria, South Africa, on Tuesday. Police stepped in to prevent physical confrontations when the marchers entered a district of the city with a heavy immigrant population. The demonstration was organized by a civic group called March and March, which has accused the South African government of not doing enough to enforce immigration and citizenship laws. The group demanded mass deportations at a previous rally in March. Most of the same allied groups attended both the March and April demonstrations, including the ActionSA political party and Operation Dudula, an anti-immigration…

Failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, is now taking credit for cracking down on fraud in his state despite dismissing critics months ago for “politicizing the issue” in a stunning evolution all around. Walz is singing a new tune these days, positioning himself as a tough guy on fraud in his blue state wrought with scandal. Following the news of more federal raids in Minneapolis linked to alleged Somali welfare fraud, the Democrat proudly stated on social media that those committing fraud in the state will be caught and held accountable. “If you commit fraud in…
