U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Thursday she is running for governor of Minnesota, promising to take on President Trump while unifying a state that has endured a series of challenges even before the federal government's immigration crackdown.
About a month late, presumably due to last fall’s government shutdown, the Census Bureau has released its estimates of the populations of the 50 states and the District of Columbia for July 1, 2025. It provides an interesting picture of what the country is, and is becoming, halfway through the decade of the 2020s and […]
The recent child care fraud scandal in Minnesota exposed a twofold problem: first, the blatant and ongoing misuse of taxpayer dollars, and second, that some of these offenders were not even American citizens. A sovereign nation can do better than allowing foreigners into our country to steal money from the American taxpayer. It is clear […]
One year into the second Trump administration, the fight against diversity, equity, and inclusion needs to shift. President Donald Trump has made historic progress rolling back this racist and discriminatory ideology through a slew of executive orders and investigations. But while many institutions have ditched DEI, others have gone underground. That’s especially true at private […]
The Trump administration is in over its waders this time. Unlike Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in a likely justified shoot after she hit the agent with her vehicle earlier this month, the killing of 37-year-old Veterans Affairs hospital nurse Alex Pretti by one or perhaps multiple border patrol agents appears […]

The celebration of America’s 250th birthday has begun, inaugurated by a patriotic presentation of the nation’s history at the Washington Monument on New Year’s Eve and followed by a packed calendar of events, including a Triumphal Arch near Arlington National Cemetery and the Great American State Fair planned for Independence Day. As we commemorate 250 […]
Senate Democrats are threatening to shut down the government again, this time claiming that “reforms” must be made to the Department of Homeland Security before they will approve spending that includes DHS appropriations. Specifically, the party of the Left is demanding that the law be changed so federal law enforcement officials must get a judicial […]
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and President Trump are moving toward a deal to separate Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding from five other House-passed appropriations bills in hopes of avoiding a partial government shutdown this weekend, according to a source familiar with the discussions. No agreement has been reached yet but the discussions...
Border czar Tom Homan will speak with reporters Thursday morning in Minneapolis, as the city reels following two fatal shootings involving federal immigration authorities. President Trump sent Homan to Minnesota earlier this week to oversee the administration's ramped up immigration crackdown in the city after Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino left the area on Tuesday....
