By Catherine Salgado Obamacare is expensive, unconstitutional, socialist, and bloated. It is also — surprise, surprise — riddled with fraud. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz revealed the stunning number of Obamacare users who never provided a Social Security number, raising serious questions about the scope of fraud in the government healthcare insurance program. . @DrOzCMS and I are exposing how bad actors exploited the Obamacare marketplace by enrolling people without proper verification and profiting at taxpayers' expense. The Trump Administration is taking decisive action to stop these corrupt schemes, recover taxpayer dollars, and… pic.twitter.com/ea5dN31S9n — Secretary Kennedy (@SecKennedy) June 27, 2026 In a Saturday video, Kennedy and Oz updated the American people on efforts to uncover and root out fraud.

By Susie Moore In the lead-up to the nation's semiquincentennial, there's been a renewed focus on the Founding Fathers. That's to be expected as we reflect on how our nation came to be. Somehow, as they declared, then battled for and won independence, they had the wisdom and foresight to design and build a remarkable foundation — one that has not only endured for a quarter-millennium, but grown and thrived in a way I expect none of them could have imagined.  Not without its struggles, to be sure. America is still a toddler in some respects — or perhaps an adolescent. It has had its fair share of growing pains, even descending into civil war less than a century after its founding. He was not, of course, a "Founding Father," but Abraham Lincoln's role in guiding the nation through its most fraught years and out the other side of the hell that was the Civil War places him shoulder to shoulder with the founders, so it seems fitting to honor him as we honor the...

By David Spector A radical, Israel-hating California teacher claimed she married a Gaza resident online to help him gain American citizenship — and push her pro-Palestinian agenda. Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, announced her nuptials in a wild June 16 CODEPINK Zoom webinar called “Challenging Zionism In Our Schools.” When CODEPINK activist Marcy Winograd congratulated her on her marriage and asked her to share details about her life, Pinho, 51, launched into a pedantic monologue about how she only married Salem S.E. Abu Amra to advance “Palestinian rights and freedoms.” Laura Pinho claimed she married a Gaza man to “equalize the playing field.” Laura Maria/Facebook “I have power as an American citizen. I have a passport that I was just born with, and how can I live in this world if I don’t make every effort to equalize the playing field on whatever way that I can,” she said in the webinar, first uncovered by the North...

By KURT ZINDULKA A far-left National Assembly member has sparked backlash after she gloated over the demographic decline of the native white French population in favour of immigrant groups, as the LFI continues to embrace Great Replacement ideology. During a debate in the National Assembly this week on legislation intended to crack down on fraudulent or arranged marriages, MP Clémence Guetté of the radical leftist La France Insoumise (France in Rebellion/LFI) party, declared that alleged efforts to preserve the French ethnicity have failed. “You have lost the racist ideological battle. Today, one in three French people is already linked to immigration,” she celebrated, according to Le Journal du Dimanche . The deputy accused the populist National Rally party of Marine Le Pen and the conservative Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR) party of Éric Ciotti of seeking to protect the ” so-called native French” population, which she equated to “white French people”. Gu...

By Dudi Kogan and Or Shaked The United States carried out additional strikes on targets in Iran, US Central Command announced Sunday. The strikes, carried out on June 27 at the president's direction, came amid an escalation in the naval confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz and continued attacks on commercial vessels. In response, the Iranians fired at American targets in Bahrain and Kuwait. Sirens were also heard in Bahrain shortly before 7 a.m. Israel time. According to the statement, the US move came after Iran failed to honor the ceasefire and launched an attack drone in the morning that hit the M/T Kiku oil tanker. The Panama-flagged tanker was sailing in the Strait of Hormuz with more than 2 million barrels of crude oil on board. U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets conducted strikes tonight on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz for Iran's drone attack on M/T Kiku. pic.twitter.com/Z0TLZRqmF6 —...

By Ward Clark The United Kingdom is having a hot summer. Granted, that's a little bit of an eyebrow-raiser in the U.K., which is famous for cool, damp weather, but it happens. Of course, many places see warm summer weather, and for the last few decades, people who live in the civilized world have had a great modern solution to hot weather: Air conditioning. AC not only makes life more comfortable, but for some people, like the elderly and people in poor health, it can be a lifesaver during serious heat waves. It's a lifesaver that's now being denied to Brits, because of the government's lunatic Net Zero policies . Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures . Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”. The net zero clampdown is part of building regulati...

By Cassandra MacDonald In a significant move to restore the teachings of American heritage, the Republican-controlled Texas State Board of Education approved a new required reading list that mandates the inclusion of passages from the Bible for public school students across all grade levels. The final vote passed 9-5 along party lines on Friday. This makes Texas the first state in the nation to establish a statewide mandated literary program that includes specific Bible excerpts alongside classic works of literature. There are more than five million public school students in the state. The new requirements build directly on House Bill 1605 , passed by the Texas Legislature in 2023. That law directed the State Board of Education to identify at least one required literary work for every grade level as part of efforts to strengthen reading instruction and provide high-quality, transparent instructional materials. The Board went further, creating a comprehensive list of ro...
