Supreme Court Takes Up Cases That Could Redefine Women’s Sports

By Stacy Robinson, Sam Dorman | The Epoch Times The court is set to consider the legality of two state laws that ban males who identify as transgender from participating in girls’ sports. Selina Soule was a high school track and field champion in Connecticut, holding multiple state conference titles and school records. But when male athletes who identified as transgender started competing against her, Soule said her prospects of winning diminished. “It didn’t matter how much time I put in, in practice; how much extra effort I put in. There was nothing I could do to win the race,” Soule, who graduated from Glastonbury High School in 2020, told The Epoch Times. Soule’s sentiments have been common in the ongoing national debate surrounding males competing ...

Treasury Secretary Says Massive Federal Fraud of Up to $600 Billion a Year is Draining US Budget

By Matt Vespa | Townhall Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently visited Minnesota, where he spoke with citizen journalists, local politicians, and law enforcement officials about the ongoing fraud allegations that have engulfed the state. The amount of money stolen is reportedly in the billions, maybe even the hundreds of billions. That figure was corroborated by Mr. Bessent, who said that on average, around 10 percent of the budget, around $300-600 billion, is stolen every year. He made these points to reporter Christopher Rufo: https://twitter.com/TheChiefNerd/status/2010391724410261880?s=20 This story comes after YouTuber Nick Shirley posted a viral video where he exposed these reportedly fraudulent daycare centers, the most infamous being “The Learing Center.”...

One of these scenes is not like the other! 

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A protest is going on.  In Scenario One,  a woman starts to enter a secure area via a broken window. An officer inside the secure area, pulls his gun and shoots the woman dead. In Scenario Two,  a woman has been obstructing officers in their duty to enforce the law. The woman, using her car as a weapon, drives her vehicle toward the officer, hitting him — and being shot dead by the officer. In Scenario One, the female protestor has no weapon and has not been impeding officers in the performance of their duty.   In Scenario Two, the female protestor has a weapon — the vehicle she is driving and is using it to impede and possibly injure officers and bystanders. ...

Federal freeze targets childcare money in Colorado and four other states

By Emily Peck | Axios The Trump administration says it is freezing $10 billion in funds for child care and poor families in five blue states, the Office of Management and Budget confirmed to Axios Monday. Why it matters: The White House is pointing to reports of social services fraud in Minnesota to threaten funding for child care around the country. Child care providers are bracing for a slowdown in funds and the possibility of cuts that threaten their ability to operate. That could create wider issues, as millions of parents rely on child care to get to their jobs. Where it stands: Funds are being suspended for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York, according to the New York Post, which earlier reported the news. The h...

Five Trump Policy Moves Legacy Media Largely Ignored in 2025

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal About 70% of Americans said they didn’t have “very much” or any trust that news outlets would fairly cover President Donald Trump’s second term, according to a YouGov poll.

As Trump’s second administration nears its one year anniversary, here are five stories about the president’s achievements that you won’t find in legacy media coverage.By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal 1.

“This is the team”: Michael Knowles at TPUSA AmFest on holding a coalition together

By RMV Editorial Board The opening night of AmericaFest did not unfold as a unified rally. Disagreements among speakers played out in real time, reflecting a broader conservative fracture now visible nationally and within state parties, including in Colorado. Michael Knowles articulated what the evening had already revealed. “In the absence of our generation’s political peacemaker,” he said, “we find ourselves in the latest right-wing civil war.” https://www.youtube.com/live/hcBd0whz8ec?si=osLqunNpf8BDHrdl Knowles did not frame that civil war as scandal or betrayal. He treated it as a structural failure. Conservatives, he observed, are independent-minded by nature. They argue. They splinter into factions. That part is not new. What is new is the absence...

Trump Unveils $1,776 Warrior Dividend for Servicemembers in National Address

By Christian Datoc | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump delivered an end-of-year address to the nation on Wednesday night, the vast majority of which consisted of him repeating attacks on his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, as he sought to once again tie him to affordability concerns among voters. Eleven months after re-entering office with virtually the highest approval rating of his political career, the president finds himself having lost significant support from voters, specifically regarding his stewardship of financial matters, as the president’s tariffs maintain inflationary pressure on consumer markets. A poll published Tuesday by Reuters found that just 33% of respondents gave Trump’s economic policies a passing grade, down 10 poi...

Bongino’s Departure From the FBI Sparks Public Debate, Take the Poll

By Just the News staff | Just the News The announcement followed months of speculation over his future at the agency and came amid longstanding rumors of a rift with Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files.

I want to thank President Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose," he posted on X.

An extinction level event looms for the Republican Party

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker An extinction event is a rapid, sweeping collapse -- something so disruptive that what emerges afterward is unrecognizable from what came before. Volcano eruptions or meteor strikes can trigger such events in the natural world.  Washington, D.C. may be approaching a political version of the same phenomenon, and Republicans seem disturbingly unprepared for what is coming. The GOP currently holds narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress -- seven seats in the House and six in the Senate. Those margins are razor-thin by any measure, and fragile given that five senators, three Republicans and two Democrats, are over eighty years old. But demographics are only part of the problem. History is a...

Trump Administration Presses Democrat States to Share SNAP Data or Face Withholding of Aid

By Darlene Superville and Geoff Mulvihill | The Denver Gazette WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration said Tuesday that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless those states provide information about those receiving the assistance. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that the action is in the works because those states are refusing to provide data the department requested such as the names and immigration status of aid recipients. She said the cooperation is necessary in order to root out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to block the requirement. Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia previously sued&...
