A federal judge on Friday dismissed criminal convictions against several Proud Boys leaders prosecuted for their roles in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. US District Judge Timothy Kelly granted a Justice Department motion to dismiss the case against Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola. Nordean, Biggs and Rehl were convicted in 2023 of seditious conspiracy and other offenses. Pezzola was convicted of assaulting a police officer and breaking a Capitol window that became the first entry point used by hundreds of rioters. The defendants received lengthy prison sentences, but President Donald Trump commuted their sentences in…

The Trump administration is holding the Smithsonian Institution accountable for turning the National Museum of American History into a vehicle for extreme political activism and inappropriate sexual content aimed at children—directly violating President Donald Trump’s March executive order “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” A White House report released on July 4 details how the museum has abandoned objective scholarship in favor of radical ideology. Most outrageously, exhibits include sexually suggestive materials completely unfit for young visitors. Among the most disturbing items highlighted: pages from a six-year-old girl’s diary in which she expresses fear about “getting boobs” and wishes…
Hollywood’s latest lesson in “get woke, go broke” just hit theaters—and the box office numbers are brutal. Warner Bros.’ Supergirl has officially become the worst-earning DC movie released in more than two decades, limping to just $108 million globally as of this past weekend. The last DC film that performed this poorly was the infamous 2004 bomb Catwoman, which took in $82 million. Adjusted for inflation, that 2004 flop would clear roughly $149 million today—still crushing Supergirl’s haul, according to Forbes. To even match DC’s other recent dud Blue Beetle (which scraped $130 million in 2023), Supergirl needs another $22…
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., is introducing legislation to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants and foreign nationals engaged in birth tourism, providing Congress with a legislative vehicle to advance President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. The Citizenship Act would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by defining unauthorized entrants and birth tourists as statutory “invaders” whose children are not entitled to automatic citizenship. The proposal would also codify elements of Trump’s 2025 executive order declaring mass illegal immigration across the southern border an invasion. Banks developed the legislation following recent Supreme Court decisions…
A new Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas working paper is adding economic weight to a central argument of populist America First policy: mass labor inflows may boost headline employment, but they can also impose heavy costs on working- and middle-class Americans through housing, public resources, and wage pressure hidden beneath national averages. The paper, which combines immigration court records with government administrative data, examines the unprecedented wave of illegal immigration from 2021 to 2024. The authors caution that the study is preliminary and does not represent the official views of the Dallas Fed or the Federal Reserve System. Still, its…
A little faith-based film about America’s founding delivered one of the biggest surprises of the Fourth of July box office. Young Washington, from Angel Studios, opened on America’s 250th birthday with a powerful $7.65 million haul in just 2,700 theaters, finishing second for the day despite playing on fewer screens than several major Hollywood releases. The historical drama beat Toy Story 5, Supergirl, and Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, trailing only Minions & Monsters, the latest entry in the wildly popular Despicable Me franchise. Even more striking was the film’s per-screen performance. Young Washington averaged $2,833 per theater on July 4,…
President Donald Trump delivered a thunderous warning against communism Friday night at Mount Rushmore, framing it as an existential danger to the American experiment just ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. Speaking beneath the towering faces of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln, Trump declared the country faces “a resurgence of the Communist menace,” fueled by newcomers who bring a philosophy “totally opposed to our way of life.” He rejected any notion that this is mere policy disagreement over taxes or regulations. “Communism is a mortal threat to American Liberty. It is the Greatest Threat to our Country including World War…
The collapse of Jill Biden’s memoir “View from the East Wing” from the top of the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list reveals more than a failed book launch. It lays bare the fundamental phoniness that defines the entire Biden family operation. The book hit #1 on June 21 sporting the dagger (†) the Times uses to denote bulk buys by institutions rather than organic sales from real readers. Within two weeks it had cratered off the list completely. This wasn’t a case of a compelling story resonating with the public. It was a paid-for illusion, with donor money from…
President Trump is taking another major step to bring common sense back to American industry — and this time, it is aimed at the family car. On Monday, Trump signed a new order protecting Americans’ right to repair their own vehicles using aftermarket or third-party parts. The move is designed to break up the auto parts monopoly, lower repair costs, and return power to drivers, mechanics, small businesses, and working families. Trump said the issue is simple: if you own the car, you should be allowed to fix the car. Speaking from the Oval Office, the president said the order…
A new national poll shows what many Americans already know: peace is popular, endless war is not, and President Trump is wise to ignore the neoconservative war hawks still lingering inside parts of the Republican base. According to the Big Data Poll, a clear majority of likely voters support the peace deal reached earlier this month to end the Iran war under President Trump’s leadership. Sixty-two percent of likely voters back the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the United States and Iran. Among Trump voters, support is overwhelming, at 77 percent. Even among Kamala Harris voters, half support the agreement.…
