Virginia’s new ban on the sale, purchase and transfer of certain semi-automatic firearms is set to take effect July 1, but the law is already facing a fierce backlash from local prosecutors who say they will not enforce this unconstitutional attack on the Second Amendment. The legislation, signed by Gov. Abigail Spanberger, prohibits future sales and transfers of certain so-called assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. The measure was written to punish law-abiding citizens, threaten gun retailers and violate constitutional protections recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court. At least five conservative Commonwealth’s attorneys have publicly vowed not to prosecute violations of…

President Donald Trump’s agenda remains on firm political ground heading into the midterm elections, according to a new McLaughlin & Associates survey conducted for Tea Party Patriots Citizens Action, offering fresh evidence that critics who insist his movement is divided may be misreading the electorate. The survey, first reviewed by Breitbart News, found majority support for several key elements of Trump’s governing agenda, including election integrity, immigration enforcement, government fraud prevention, national security and proposed security upgrades to the White House complex. For Trump allies, the numbers suggest that establishment media outlets and Democratic detractors have their heads in the…
President Donald Trump is renewing his legal fight against the Wall Street Journal, arguing that the newspaper and its parent company should be held accountable for publishing a damaging report about an alleged lewd birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that Trump has flatly denied writing. In a defamation lawsuit refiled Tuesday, Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages from the Journal’s publisher, Dow Jones, and two reporters over a July 2025 article that said a letter bearing Trump’s name was included in a collection of messages given to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. The Journal reported that the…
President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to redraw congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections appears to have paid off, with Republicans poised to enter November with a significant structural advantage from redistricting alone. A coast-to-coast battle over partisan gerrymandering is nearing its end, and the GOP could finish with as many as 10 more favorable House seats than Democrats have gained through new maps. The campaign began last year in Texas, where Republicans, acting at Trump’s urging, changed US House district boundaries in an effort to protect the party from a possible Democratic wave. Democrats responded with redistricting efforts of…
In yet another damning example of the Biden-era DOJ’s weaponization against President Donald Trump, a former federal prosecutor has been charged with stealing a sealed volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on the now-defunct classified documents case. Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, 62, was indicted on four counts including theft of government property and removal of public records. She allegedly saved the sensitive document as “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf” on her government computer before emailing it from her DOJ account to her personal Gmail on December 1, 2025. Lineberger, who served as Managing Assistant U.S. Attorney in Fort Pierce, Florida, violated U.S. District Judge…
In a stark illustration of the radical left’s growing dominance within the Democrat Party, New York lawmakers passed sweeping sanctuary legislation Thursday that effectively declares the state a safe haven for illegal immigrants — even at the expense of public safety and federal law. The bill, heavily backed by Governor Kathy Hochul, now heads to her desk for signature, further cementing the party’s embrace of open-border extremism over the interests of law-abiding citizens. The legislation imposes a near-total ban on cooperation between state and local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It eliminates all 287-g agreements, prohibits informal…
In a significant show of bipartisan support for President Donald Trump’s forward-looking crypto agenda, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) and Jared Golden (D-ME) introduced the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (ARMA) on Thursday. The legislation aims to enshrine Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve executive order into permanent law, ensuring America leads the world in digital asset innovation for decades to come. The bill establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within the U.S. Department of the Treasury and creates a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for other federally held cryptocurrencies. All federal agencies must conduct a full accounting of their digital assets and transfer…
In a shameful display of political cowardice, Senate Republicans have blocked one of President Donald Trump’s key initiatives to deliver justice to Americans abused by the Biden administration’s weaponized justice system. The $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” compensation fund—derided by critics as a “slush fund”—represents a vital effort to right the wrongs inflicted on citizens targeted for political persecution, including many January 6 protesters who endured brutal prosecutorial excesses. Rather than advancing a critical $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, GOP senators chose to stall legislation and retreat for a week-long recess. This rebellion, though small, reveals a party more concerned with self-preservation…
Capital One is facing renewed scrutiny over allegations that it denied financial services to politically disfavored customers, this time after a Maryland gun retailer accused the bank and payment processor Melio Payments of cutting off access because the business sells firearms. United Gun Shop of Rockville filed a lawsuit alleging it was blocked from using Capital One’s platform after being categorized as part of a “prohibited industry.” According to reporting on the complaint, the store received notices in 2025 and 2026 saying Capital One and Melio could not serve businesses in the firearms sector. The shop alleges the disruption caused…
The Los Angeles mayor’s race is tightening, and a new Emerson College poll shows political outsider Spencer Pratt gaining traction against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. According to reporting on the Emerson survey, Bass leads the field with 30 percent, while Pratt has climbed into second place at 22 percent. Councilmember Nithya Raman follows at 19 percent. The June 2 primary is nonpartisan, and unless one candidate wins a majority, the top two finishers advance to a November 3 runoff. Pratt’s momentum accelerated after last week’s televised debate, where he pressed Bass and Raman on public safety, homelessness, affordability, and wildfire…
