Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated on Saturday that some U.S. service members could be redeployed from Europe to the Western Hemisphere as the Trump administration ramps up its deadly campaign against drug cartels in South America. “Well, we're definitely expanding our presence and our footprint in Central and South America with partners, and because of...
An Oklahoma federal judge ruled Friday that warrantless searches using AI-powered surveillance camera data, such as what Flock Safety's hallmark technology collects, may violate the Fourth Amendment without adequate probable cause. “Freedom from persistent, dragnet-style surveillance while in public is not a foreign concept in our society, and it is a reasonable expectation that society...

What were they thinking? Did President Joe Biden and the folks who put together his immigration policy imagine that the voting public would celebrate policies that resulted in a record-high number of migration encounters — more than three-quarters of a million — in the usually low-immigration months of October, November, and December 2023? Did they […]
Third World countries have to focus on real-world problems because they do not have the luxury of being affluent enough to worry about climate change.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR BIDEN: IS IT ‘ROSY RETROSPECTION’ OR JUST FACT?

President Joe Biden has fought his entire presidency to increase the corporate tax rate while also increasing tax loopholes and giveaways.

During his hourlong State of the Union speech last month, President Joe Biden proclaimed the “auto jobs of the future” will be “here in America!” The president was right to point to the importance of the American auto industry, but he failed to mention that his policies are helping China dominate global auto manufacturing.
