By C. A. Skeet The day before Thanksgiving, a “thoroughly vetted” military age male, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, decided he had pressing matters to attend to that didn’t involve spending the holiday expressing gratitude to the United States for granting him asylum and giving him an unearned and unprecedented opportunity to build a life here, rather than languish another half century in that squalid dump we call Afghanistan. Rather, he decided that jihad took precedence and opened fire on two National Guardsmen who were spending their holiday not with family, but on the streets of our own squalid dump we call Washington D.C., in an effort to keep its beleaguered citizens safe. As of this writing, 20-year-old Guardswoman Sarah Buckstrom has died of her injuries, and Guardsman Andrew Wolfe is currently in critical condition, fighting for his life. This makes me so sick to my stomach, I’m going to skip my usual rhetorical, long-winded intros and cut right to the chase. Why the hell was Rahma...

By Erik Durneika In late October, President Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung held a  bilateral meeting  on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, to discuss trade, security cooperation, and technology, ahead of POTUS’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made a stop in South Korea in November as part of his  Asia tour . He visited the  Demilitarized Zone  and met with South Korean officials to talk about ways to strengthen and adapt the Republic of Korea (ROK)-U.S. alliance to today’s challenges. I’ve been covering the ROK’s leftist Lee administration for some time now. The situation in South Korea has gone from bad to worse in a matter of months — and it continues to worsen. Lee’s pro-China ideology carries implications for America’s security interests and position in the Indo-Pacific. Lawmakers from his Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), which holds the majority of seat...

By Ward Clark In an interesting move that may be a signal of events yet to come, President Donald Trump, on Saturday, informed airlines that they should consider  Venezuelan airspace closed . pic.twitter.com/QdkpwonzHV — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 29, 2025 The president's post reads: To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP A Fox Business report  has more details : Trump's comments come about a week after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned airlines about  flying over Venezuela . The FAA issued a notice urging airlines to "exercise caution" due to the "potentially hazardous situation" in the region.  "Operators are advised to exercise caution when operating in the Maiquetia flight information region at all altitudes due to the worsening...

By Ward Clark President Donald Trump is still a marketing guy at heart. He understands messaging, and he hires people who share his understanding of the value of messaging. This is something Republicans haven't always been all that good at. Case in point: The Trump White House has just launched a media bias page on the official White House website, and it's a safe bet it will be entertaining for some time to come; after all, the legacy media gives the Trump administration so  much to work with . 🚨🚨🚨 For those of you still arguing with family over the holidays We rolled out https://t.co/xagzI7SOY6 today for you. But most importantly to hold the media accountable. Misleading? Biased? Prepare to be EXPOSED. pic.twitter.com/wUZygpc5Ip — Kaelan Dorr (@Kaelan47) November 28, 2025 The opening video takes on the shameful Democratic "illegal orders" display. Now, this isn't a media bias thing  per se , but the legacy media faithfully ran with the story. Here are ...

By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell  President Donald Trump has been on a fiery tear, and for good reason. The poison programmed into our republic by former President Joe Biden and his administration, especially in the area of illegal and legal immigration, requires tearing out the wiring and flushing the system, and our president has decided to hit the reset button. On Friday, Trump took to his social media of choice, Truth Social, to announce his latest move to rescind the force and power of any document signed by Biden using the autopen. Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.  The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and...

By MARY ROOKE There’s a thin line between a stranger’s ability to intervene in a chaotic situation and the societal requirement to look the other way. In some ways, it’s always been this way. Our country was largely built on a “mind your own business and let me run my family the way I see fit” type of attitude that, in many situations, serves us well. However, over the last twenty years, there’s been a moral and spiritual fracture that’s left us in a  uniquely dangerous position , especially for the most vulnerable among us. There’s no denying that the U.S. has morphed into a low-trust society. The natural bonds of community — which would historically have  framed the question  of “when to step in” not as a matter of personal preference or fear of legal ramifications, but as a matter of objective duty rooted in the moral order — have been broken. While Americans used to agree that we protect the most vulnerable among us, no matter the potential consequences, there...

By BOB PRICE President Donald Trump has unveiled plans to permanently halt migration from Third World nations and roll back millions of Biden‑era admissions — including those he blasted as illegally authorized through ‘Sleepy Joe’s Autopen.’ The sweeping initiative, still awaiting formal orders, would strip federal benefits from noncitizens, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport foreign nationals deemed public charges or security risks, all under a bold “reverse migration” strategy to restore America’s system. In a late-night post on Truth Social, President Trump announced he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” to give the U.S. immigration system time to recover from the disastrous policies of the Biden administration. The president said he will “terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen.” The move by Trump follows the  assassination ...

Oklahoma City 7-eleven store where 25-year-old Stephane Dilyard defended herself with a gun (KOKH-TV) By John R. Lott Stephanie Dilyard is lucky to be alive. Yet last week, 7-Eleven fired the 25-year-old after she used her gun to save her own life. Private companies have every right to set rules for employee behavior, but many corporate policies that require workers to remain passive and comply with criminals’ demands rest on a deeply mistaken view of crime data. “He threatened me,” Dilyard told Fox 25 in Oklahoma City. “[A]nd said he was gonna slice my head off, and that’s when I tried to call the police. He started throwing things at me, came behind the counter. I tried to run off, but he grabbed his hands around my neck, and pushed me out of the counter space, and that’s when I pulled out my gun and I shot him.” “I had to choose between my job and my life,” she said. “And I will always choose my life because people depend on me. My kids need me here.” She survived with wou...

By Matt Margolis Do you remember when the DNC thought it had a brilliant gotcha moment against Donald Trump and instead humiliated itself? Oh, that was a classic . Back in July, the Democratic National Committee posted a chart on X showing rising grocery prices, hoping to prove how “terrible” things supposedly became under Trump. The problem? The chart actually proved the opposite. It showed prices skyrocketed under Joe Biden. Naturally, the post quickly turned into a viral punchline, a perfect example of Democrats tripping over their own talking points. Within hours, the DNC had to delete the post. But by then, the screenshots had spread like wildfire. The damage was done. Instead of proving Trump was bad for consumers, the DNC reminded Americans just how brutal the Biden economy really was. Predictions of economic catastrophe under Trump never came true, no matter how loudly Democrats screamed about tariffs and trade wars. Meanwhile, under Biden, everything from gas to groceries ...
