Trump can send troops to Portland, appeals court says

A federal appeals court on Monday said that it would allow President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, blocking a judge’s ruling that forbade his administration from sending troops into the city.

The decision from a panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit authorizes, for now, Trump’s efforts to place the military in Oregon’s largest city, one of several places where he has sent troops or vowed to do so, including Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Chicago.

The Ridiculous No Kings Protest

Aging lefties waste a beautiful Saturday to pretend they are speaking truth to power.

It’s difficult to think of a more effective way to illustrate the moral and intellectual emptiness of the American left than to have them march around demanding an end to an institution our founding fathers abolished 250 years ago. This is how the official “No Kings” website described what happened on Saturday: “On October 18, more than seven million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.” These folks are a little late to the party, as Thomas Jefferson would probably point out were he still with us.

Makeup Artists and More: DOGE Cuts Billions in Nonsense

Your taxpayer dollars and mine were paying for a special makeup artist at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) — that is, until DOGE got involved.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut contracts with a ceiling value of around $17 billion altogether over the last three weeks. It seems as if the waste and fraud in our federal government is endless, and DOGE has to wade through an absolute mountain of corrupt insanity as it tries to restore fiscal responsibility to the government.

Trump says Pritzker, Chicago mayor ‘should be in jail’

President Trump on Wednesday called for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) to be jailed as the two leaders push back on the Trump administration’s crime crackdown and immigration enforcement raids on the Windy City.

“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] Officers!” Trump posted to Truth Social, referring to Johnson. “Governor Pritzker also!”

National Guard descends on Chicago as two top Trump officials fly in

National Guard troops have begun arriving in Chicago after President Trump compared Democrats to “insurrectionists” and promised the deployment of soldiers from Texas would “straighten out” crime in the city.

About half of the 200 troops expected to be deployed from the Texas National Guard had landed in Chicago on Monday night with the remainder expected to arrive by the end of Tuesday evening.

Aren’t they all …

Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland

Portland’s left-wing mobs and officials are waging a neo-Confederate-style rebellion—defying federal law, protecting illegal aliens, and turning the city into a sanctuary for anarchy.

In blue cities across America—Portland, Oregon, especially—often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens.

Some 10 million or more illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. during the Biden years—illegally and thus without criminal or health checks.

The Left’s Top Dark Money Monster Is Dying — and Taking the Democratic Party With It

The radical Left and the limitless cash spigot bankrolling it are leading Democrats to their doom. The result will change politics for the better.

When I began a career of digging into the Left’s shadowy financiers, conservatives were losing the “dark money” war. Less than a decade later, it’s the Left facing extinction — and no one’s more astonished by the turnaround than I am.

In August, news came that the Gates Foundation — one of the world’s largest mega-funders of “progressive” political schemes — was quietly defunding Arabella Advisors, the dark money ATM that’s benefitted from over half a billion dollars from Gates since 2009. Armed with billions, the Arabella network exploits our nonprofit charity laws to agitate for D.C. statehood, pack the Supreme Court, and fund Democrat voter drives — all under the guise of philanthropy, and entirely tax-free.

Why a US government shutdown is a gift to Trump

As the US government was plunged into a shutdown, Donald Trump was no doubt relishing the idea of the days ahead.

Four months after Elon Musk and his cost-cutting lieutenants left the administration under a cloud, the shutdown has given the president another chance to take a hatchet to federal bureaucracy, and achieve the massive government savings he promised.

The administration’s promised $2 trillion (£1.5 trillion) in cuts, to be carried out by Mr Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), never materialised despite the sacking of a spate of government workers.

Meet the Criminals Anti-ICE Protesters Are Fighting to Shield

On Sept. 19, 2025, a protest outside the ICE Broadview Processing Center in suburban Chicago escalated from chants to confrontation. Demonstrators blocked access roads, vandalized federal vehicles, and clashed with agents. Seventeen protesters were arrested in the first week, and within days a perimeter fence went up — not to hold detainees inside, but to protect federal officers from fellow citizens. The image was striking: a government fortifying itself against its own people in order to carry out the law.

Should Comey Be Convicted?

The ink was not even dry on the US Department of Justice’s hastily drafted two-count indictment of former FBI Director James Comey when partisans chose sides.

Most on the “left” insisted that this was a revenge lawfare indictment with no basis in law or fact. Many on the “right” saw nothing amiss, arguing that the defendant did in fact lie to Congress.

The nonpartisan reality is that it is too early to make a full assessment of the merits or demerits of the case. The other reality is that the indictment raises several distinct if overlapping issues.
