Does it violate the Constitution for an election official to accept and count ballots that cannot be affirmatively proven to come from legal voters within that jurisdiction? The answer to this question will decide whether America survives past its 250th birthday.

Leftists get power and eliminate one of the most successful anti-crime initiatives in the history of the Attorney General’s Office. Operation Ceasefire helped cut Virginia’s murder rate by 30% and drove a 66% reduction in violent crime in Ceasefire cities. Shameful.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.
It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

This piece of shit had American blood on his hands. We used to meet with him in the prison in Baghdad. He played a deaf mute when he was first captured. He was responsible for the execution style killing of American soldiers. He can burn in hell.
🔴ELIMINATED: Ali Musa Daqduq, a senior Hezbollah commander who held a series of 5 senior positions within Hezbollah. Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers. In 2007, he orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of 5 American soldiers.

While there are ample and good-faith reasons why some have objected to the removal of slavery and climate change exhibits from national parks and monuments, Kelley’s recent injunction smacks of judicial excess rather than measured review... jonathanturley.org/2026/06/1…

A monument to sacrifice. A tribute to liberty. 🇺🇸 Join us Wednesday at the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston for a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating the 251st anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. We remember the patriots whose courage helped shape our nation.

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

This looks like scrap metal left behind during the Afghan withdrawal.
Just a reminder: the proposed Global War on Terrorism Memorial is an avant garde Leftist art school wet dream that is actually an abomination that dishonors our GWOT veterans, dead and alive. If they actually build this monstrosity, expect me to to show up Tom Cruise "Born on the Fourth of July" style, sporting a beard, my "Iraq/Afghanistan Vet" hat and my old DCU top, loudly protesting. I've never been to a protest before, never did the "old veteran" bit, but this horrific monument to everything the Left did to us while we were fighting will drag my broken "not service connected" butt to DC so I can be heard. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

13 years ago this month, the Guardian broke the Snowden story...the biggest mass surveillance exposé in history. Today it calls your concern about ID-linked browsing, spyware in your photos and messages, and broken encryption, "fake outrage" while Starmer's government demands backdoors into your iCloud and calls for people to be arrested for tweets. The watchdog became the lapdog.
You’re going to see a lot in your X timeline about how the social media ban is unworkable and illiberal - and it will be one the most obvious examples of how social media skews debate. But it will be one of the most popular things the government is doing theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Now do you see why I decided to set all my free time on fire last year and try to stop the Online Safety Act dead in its tracks? The OSA was never the end of the UK’s Internet censorship and surveillance program, it was only the start.

🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012. No, this is not a joke. Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003. Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16 hour days and forced divorces. Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime. As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this. Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇

It should be self-evident that promoting these voices was insane, and that everyone involved in it should be ashamed. They had nothing of value to offer. No new perspective, just racial hatred disguised as cries about oppression.
Ibram X. Kendi says it’s like slavery that Karmelo Anthony was punished for stabbing a white boy in the heart.

'Despite receiving $1 billion over the last five years, HUD officials said the city has failed to reduce homelessness due to "LAHSA’s repeated false statements and its irresponsible actions and failures."'
In response to the accusations that LAHSA showed a “clear pattern of fraud” with federal funding, Mayor Karen Bass said she has “grave concerns.” 4.nbcla.com/LCDOGnk
