Supremes Force Trump to Cough Up $2 Billion for USAID Waste |
by Suzanne Bowdey |
Americans were horrified to hear that they'd been pumping millions of dollars into transgender comic books in Peru, condoms for Afghans, a Baghdad "Sesame Street," and soup kitchens for terrorists. But they were even more shocked Wednesday when the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to keep funding those projects after the president had cut them. By a 5-4 vote, the majority decided that a single unelected judge can force Donald Trump to restart its $2 billion investment in USAID, no matter how much garbage it bankrolls. |

Democrats' Refusal to Applaud Cancer Victim Shows They Hate Trump More than They Love America |
by Ben Johnson |
The late Billy Graham used to remind audiences that inaction itself constitutes a choice. Among the most important events at President Donald Trump's second address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night were the things not said or done. Virtually the entire Democratic congressional caucus refused to stand up for, applaud, or sometimes acknowledge a cancer-stricken child, a freed hostage, grieving families, or American heroes. Their purposeful inaction opens a window into the misanthropic progressive mindset, a spiteful approach that harms the national commonweal and undermines their own spiritual well-being. |

by Joshua Arnold |
"My administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've already started doing it," announced President Donald Trump in an address to Congress on Tuesday night. "Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple other canals. ... We didn't give it to China; we gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back." |

The Death of Hollywood |
by S.A. McCarthy |
After watching Sunday night's Academy Awards ceremony, one has to ask if Hollywood has simply run out of good stories. Top contenders for the once-prestigious Oscar statuette included "Anora," a nearly-two-and-a-half hour-long tale of strippers, Russian crime lords, and sexual assault; the French crime musical "Emilia Perez," centered on a South American cartel captain who decides he's transgender; and "Conclave," which depicts the leaders of the Catholic Church as scheming, Machiavellian arch-politicians and imagines that the next pope might be transgender. |

by Sarah Holliday |
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, continues to slash away at wasteful spending within the many layers of the federal government. On Monday, the Pentagon announced some of the ways that taxpayer dollars were spent on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and other controversial agendas. And it's no small amount of couch change but roughly $80 million dollars' worth. |
