While urging House Republicans to make healthcare “your issue” by letting money go directly to patients and not to “the big fat cats in the insurance companies,” President Donald Trump acknowledged that advancing such a plan would require political “flexibility” with the Hyde Amendment. The amendment, named after former Illinois GOP Rep. Henry Hyde, bans the use of federal funds for most abortions — only allowing exceptions for pregnancies from rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk. In remarks to House GOP members at the Trump-Kennedy Center seen Tuesday on Newsmax, Trump argued that Republicans can flip one…

After nearly 50 years in the public eye, former Democrat President Joe Biden has secured a hefty retirement package, drawing a record-breaking $417,000 annually — the largest pension of any U.S. president to date. According to an analysis by Demian Brady of the National Taxpayer Union Foundation, 83-year-old Biden’s “dual-pension” status allows him to collect more in retirement than the $400,000 salary he earned while sitting in the Oval Office, nearly doubling the payouts seen by his Democrat and Republican predecessors. “It’s pretty unusual, historically unusual, to have such a large pension amount,” Brady noted in a New York Post…
One of my earliest vehicle-related memories I have is of my father’s old green 1950 Ford F-1 pickup, which he owned while farming near Fairbank, Iowa. It wasn’t really an old truck then; only a little over ten years old, in fact, which today would be considered fairly recent. But back then, a decade of hard farm use had made that old F-1 a lot like a cranky baby; it never went anywhere without its rattle. I’m not sure if it is because of that early inculcation, but I’ve always been a Ford guy. So, it was pleasant to see…
A Minnesota hotel operating under the Hilton Hotels brand canceled reservations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security agents earlier this month, a decision that led Hilton to cut ties with the independently owned location. “The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this,” Hilton said in a statement Tuesday morning. “A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values. As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems.” Earlier this month, upon booking hotel rooms at the…
The Census Bureau is late with its annual state-by-state population estimates, which typically arrive in mid- to late December. But U-Haul is on time. The truck rental company published its annual “U-Haul®Growth Index” rankings of net migration between states. As the company explains: U-Haul ranks states by their net gain (or loss) of customers who rented a one-way truck, trailer or U-Box® moving containers in one state and dropped off their equipment in another state. The U-Haul Growth Index is compiled from well over 2.5 million annual one-way transactions across the U.S. and Canada. While rankings may not correlate directly to population or economic growth,…
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump and his administration should proceed with their investigations into fraud and wasteful spending in his state. Concerns over fraud and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars have been in the spotlight since late December after independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a YouTube video examining alleged child day care center fraud in Minnesota. During an exclusive interview with MS Now’s Jacob Soboroff, Newsom was asked about the administration’s decision to freeze federal child care funding, noting that Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration could potentially investigate fraud in California.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill unveiled a $174 billion spending package on Monday, a critical step in a race against the clock to avoid a government shutdown — as the current funding expires on January 30, 2026. Following a 43-day shutdown that ended in November 2025, lawmakers are aiming to pass funding bills in smaller packages rather than a single omnibus measure ahead of the deadline to avoid another shutdown. The $174 billion bipartisan spending package would fund the Departments of Commerce, Energy, Interior, and Justice, as well as water programs, the EPA, and federal science initiatives, through the September 30th end of the…
OAKLAND, Calif. — On Jan. 17, 2025, federal prosecutors unsealed their indictment. The indictment charged the former mayor, Sheng Thao, her boyfriend, Andre Jones and recycling executives David and Andy Duong. There were eight counts. They included conspiracy, bribery, and fraud. Prosecutors said campaign mailers were sent to voters. They said a no-show job was arranged for the boyfriend. The indictment alleged the mayor promised city contracts in return. The FBI raid made the investigation public. Six days after the recall-the-mayor petition qualified for the ballot, agents raided the mayor’s home. Media were present. The recall was backed by a hedge fund…
A Chinese intelligence official owns twin golf courses flanking the U.S. Air Force headquarters that controls two legs of the U.S. nuclear triad, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has discovered. Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), which is responsible for all of America’s intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers, is hosted by Barksdale Air Force Base near Shreveport, Louisiana. Approximately two miles to the north and south, the base is effectively bordered by The Golf Club At StoneBridge and its 27-hole, 340-acre sister, Olde Oaks Golf Club. Since 2013, both courses have been owned by Eugene Ji, a Chinese-American businessman, who has held multiple Chinese government positions including serving as an official for…
Oakland, California, is as woke and blue as can be. In this world, businessman David Duong became the recycling king of the San Francisco Bay Area. As he flourished, he learned to navigate the political realities of California, and became a Democrat Party donor. That is, until the last election cycle, when Duong had a change of heart and started donating to the Donald J. Trump campaign. And we are talking meaningful donations, too, amounting to more than $450,000 to PACS supporting Trump. From within the blue universe he inhabited, he sent out six-figure checks to support Trump in the…
