By Louis Casiano A federal judge on Friday ordered that President Donald Trump's name be removed from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, said the iconic venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress, ruling that the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees overstepped its "statutory bounds by unilaterally renaming" the building. As part of his ruling, the Trump administration will be required to take down all physical signage bearing Trump’s name and eliminate any references to a "Trump-Kennedy Center" from official materials. "The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so," Cooper wrote. "Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it." In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trum...

By Brie Stimson Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche on Friday said that a man who made death threats against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and his family at a protest in New Jersey Thursday night had been arrested. The arrest came just hours after Blanche promised the protester, who was captured on video, would be found and arrested. "That’s a federal crime," Blanche said on Fox News’ "The Will Cain Show" on Thursday. "Not only threatening the ICE officer — but think about how disgusting this individual is by threatening his wife and his children with death. In the video, the protester can be heard taunting the officer: "I will kill your whole f---ing family. Your whole f---ing family is dead. Your children and wife all dead. I have your face mother---er! All dead!" 🚨“WE WILL FIND HIM.” Acting AG @DAGToddBlanche responds after an individual allegedly threatened to murder an I.C.E. officer, his wife, and chi...

By JOSHUA KLEIN The United Arab Emirates (UAE) carried out dozens of coordinated airstrikes against Iran alongside the United States and Israel during the conflict with Tehran — including strikes on strategic energy and military infrastructure that reportedly continued even after the April ceasefire announcement — according to a report published Friday. The  Wall Street Journal , citing people familiar with the matter,  reported  the Emirati role in the campaign was far deeper than previously publicly known, with Abu Dhabi allegedly launching attacks from the opening days of the conflict while coordinating closely with Washington and Jerusalem, both of which reportedly provided intelligence support for the operations. Among the targets reportedly struck by the UAE were Qeshm and Abu Musa islands in the Strait of Hormuz, Bandar Abbas, the Lavan Island oil refinery in the Persian Gulf, and the Asaluyeh petrochemical complex, the report said. The  Journal  reported that the...

Spencer Pratt's response was: "You don't hate these corrupt politicians enough."    By Monica Showalter Los Angeles's leftist Democrat mayor, Karen Bass, has been carrying on with her celebrity endorsement campaign (noted here ), complete with some really disgusting ones: Angelenos need leaders willing to stand up and speak out. Jane has never been afraid to do either pic.twitter.com/9LEsAR9XJx — Karen Bass (@KarenBassLA) May 28, 2026 But this might be the worst: "The work Karen Bass is doing in Los Angeles is making our entire state stronger. An 18% decline in homelessness while it grew nationally, historic drops in violent crime, boosting film production in L.A., and protecting our communities against ICE.

By Matt Margolis How do Democrats feel about the new memoir from Jill Biden that’s coming out? Jessica Tarlov, the lone leftist on The Five , isn’t happy at all, and she made no effort to hide her frustration Thursday night. According to Tarlov, Jill is reminding the public of something she desperately wants the country to move on from. "What makes this very difficult is it's such an unfair test of elected Democrats, people in work, in Washington, rank and file Democrats, people who donate, who care about these election results," Tarlov said. "Because we've already gone through it, right? Went through the 2024 loss, seeing all the autopsies, now trying to move on, you know, thinking about where the candidates best positioned to win these elections. Moving past having to talk about sundowning — well, at least for Joe Biden, we can talk about it for Trump — and then this is back for no reason. He falls asleep all the time." Greg Gutfeld laughed, and Tarlov...

By Rusty Weiss A wild story out of Nebraska has two Senate candidates — including a Democrat — accused of running sham campaigns so they can drop out and throw their support behind Dan Osborn, the "independent" some critics contend is actually a Democratic plant. Think about that for a minute: A Democrat is accused of running a fake campaign they never intended to see through in an effort to boost an Independent that might be a closet Democrat. What in the wide world of cornhusking is going on here? New criminal complaints sent to Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers (R) allege that Democrat Cindy Burbank and Legal Marijuana NOW nominee Mike Marvin violated state law by swearing they would “serve if elected” when they had no actual intent to do so. The complaints call for investigations into the duo for alleged election falsification, perjury (or encouraging perjury), and making false sworn statements—offenses that could car...

By Ward Clark President Trump and his administration have been doing a lot since the president resumed office in January 2025. They've been restoring our military and making trade deals, not to mention dragging Venezuela's dictator into an American courtroom and kicking Iran's teeth in. But that's not all the president has been focused on. Early on, he sent a surge of law enforcement into the nation's capital to clean up the city's prime problem, and he has also set people to work making the District of Columbia beautiful again. Part of that is cleaning up the mess in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which had begun to look like a backwater of the Okefenokee. Democrats and the far left (but I repeat myself), who are all in the throes of Stage IV Trump Derangement Syndrome, are opposing even these efforts. This latest incident, though, in which a certain news image service describes something being applied to the pool as ...

By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell Los Angeles District 4 City Councilwoman and socialist candidate for L.A. mayor, Nithya Raman, has gotten a small taste of what Angelenos have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, and she does not like it one bit.  An advocacy group called Safe Cities USA decided to stage a full-on homeless encampment at Raman's doorstep over Memorial Day weekend, and she was shocked that the campaign for mayor has come to this. She thought she'd be spouting World Economic Forum (WEF) garbage about bike lanes, transportation, and 15-minute cities. Instead, she's being confronted with what the majority of Los Angeles residents suffer under 24-7. One almost feels sorry for her.... Naw, not really. Raman resides in a two-million-dollar home in Silverlake, one of the toniest L.A. districts where the homeless dare not to go. So, Raman rarely (if ever) has to suffer the fear of being attacked by a crazed drug addict screamin...

By Rusty Weiss "Whatever You Say," Martina. Country star Martina McBride is catching hell from furious fans after seemingly caving to the woke mob and bailing on the Great American State Fair—a major Freedom 250 event celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on the National Mall. Why? Because it's too political. An event celebrating the anniversary of the greatest nation on the planet is too political. She's ... Wrong again. In a lengthy Instagram statement, McBride claimed she was “misled” into believing the June 25th concert would be a wholesome, nonpartisan celebration of all 50 states, only to pull out once the details became clear.  "I would like to talk to you and clear the air," she announced. "I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25th. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event, but that turned out to be misleading." McBride went on to ...
