President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. troops to use military force against drug cartels, according to The New York Times. The president secretly signed an order targeting cartels that he has labeled as foreign terrorist organizations, The New York Times reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Pentagon officials are currently forming strategies for the military to confront the Latin American criminal networks responsible for flooding the U.S. with deadly illicit drugs, the outlet’s sources said. “President Trump’s top priority is protecting the homeland, which is why he took the bold step to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations,” White House spokesperson…

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with President Donald Trump in the coming days as the end of Trump’s 10-day peace deadline looms, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters Thursday. The meeting was suggested by the Russian side to U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff on Wednesday, who then relayed the idea to Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Russian and U.S. presidents have not met face-to-face since 2021, when Putin visited former President Joe Biden in Geneva, Switzerland; a time and venue have not yet been publicly announced for the reported Trump-Putin meeting. “At the suggestion of the American side, an…

President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he has ordered his administration to create a new census, in which illegal migrants will not be counted. The president — who has made immigration enforcement a top policy priority — ordered the Commerce Department to begin efforts on a new census based on figures that exclude the illegal migrant population and information gleaned from the 2024 presidential election. While estimates vary, some experts believe more than 18 million illegal migrants currently live in the U.S. (RELATED: Feds Arrest ‘Dangerous Sinaloa Cartel Leader’ At Southern Border) “I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin…

As the Trump administration wages a war against foreign nationals daring to vote in American elections, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow has spearheaded game-changing policy reforms to root them out. When President Donald Trump returned to office, he quickly signed an executive order to strengthen the citizenship verification process and help keep foreign nationals from participating in American elections. USCIS, the federal agency that administers legal immigration, has since streamlined resources for elected leaders to better identify and remove noncitizens from their state’s voter rolls. Edlow — who now leads an agency of more than 20,000…

Substandard repairs and a slow bureaucracy have caused U.S. Navy ships to sit in repair yards for years without being used, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Between one- and two-thirds of U.S. surface ship maintenance has lagged behind schedule in recent years, U.S. officials have said, according to The Wall Street Journal. The delays exacerbate America’s problem of failing to build ships as swiftly as China, a top adversary working to expand its presence in the Indo-Pacific region and threaten U.S. interests.

President Donald Trump has threatened to stall trade talks with Canada late Wednesday night after Canada’s move to recognize a Palestinian state. Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at a press conference on Wednesday that America’s northern neighbor was planning to recognize a Palestinian state in September’s United Nations (UN) General Assembly. The president took to Truth Social on Wednesday night to respond to the Canadian leader’s announcement. “Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” the president wrote on the social media…

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok deleted all of his posts on the social media site X Monday. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents and a memo July 18 detailing what she called a “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. Strzok had been a key player in the unfounded allegations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia, including intervening to prevent the FBI from closing a probe into retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who was Trump’s first national security advisor in his first term. (RELATED: More Whistleblowers Want To Speak Out…

Rising violent extremism linked to leftist and pro-Palestinian suspects in the U.S. flies in the face of legacy media narratives that President Donald Trump’s return to office would embolden right-wing extremists. Law enforcement has grappled with a wave of alleged or confirmed arsons, shootings, threats against government officials and mass rioting stemming from outrage at Trump’s policies or U.S. support for Israel. In the months following Trump’s reelection, media outlets and “experts” quoted in their articles predicted that America might see a resurgence of mostly right-wing or white supremacist violence on his watch. “That analysis never made any sense, but was always the a priori assumption of…

Some recently released data has spelled good news for parts of the American economy thus far in President Donald Trump’s second term. Many economists predicted that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could have various negative impacts on the U.S. economy this year, such as contributing to higher inflation rates. Despite this, some recent economic data has indicated that several areas of the domestic economy are doing well. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index rose to 61.8 in June, marking its highest level in five months. Still, consumer sentiment remains a substantial 16% below December 2024, according to the report. Additionally, the stock market surged to new highs during…

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Sunday that whistleblowers were coming forward since the release of documents and a memo detailing the Obama administration’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump after the 2016 election. Gabbard released documents and a memo Friday detailing what she called a “years-long coup” against Trump after he defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. Gabbard described the whistleblowers as people who were “disgusted” with the “treasonous conspiracy” allegedly ordered by then-President Barack Obama in the aftermath of Clinton’s defeat. “We have whistleblowers … coming forward now, after we released these documents because there…

A super PAC supporting Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor accepted $1,000 from a Muslim cleric linked to the architects of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist plots. Imam Siraj Wahhaj donated to the super PAC Unity and Justice Fund in May, days before it funneled most of its money to a PAC exclusively supporting Mamdani for mayor, campaign finance records show.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shipped thousands of viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program even though it had no formal agreement with the lab in place, according to previously unreported documents. The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.

America has a real shot at ending its dangerous reliance on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for rare earth elements, but only if it is willing to take decisive action, industry experts say. Rare earths are a group of 17 metallic elements integral to the production of vehicles, weapons systems, wind turbines, smartphones, medical devices and other advanced technologies. Despite their commercial and strategic significance, the U.S. imports 80% of the rare earths it consumes, primarily from China, which accounts for the vast majority of the world’s rare earth mining and 92% of refining capacity. “This is not a problem that the U.S.…

A violent “transgender” male prisoner was quietly transferred back to a men’s prison in June, years after he was accused of sexually assaulting his female cellmate in a women’s prison. Christopher Scott Williams, who is serving a 28-year sentence for first degree assault, was first denied transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his history of violence against women, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is asking for a large-scale funding increase for domestic and international defense systems, according to a new estimate from the agency. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) fiscal year 2026 budget request shows a 27% increase over the 2025 enacted budget, comprised of a guaranteed $10.2 billion and a supplemental $3 billion package that has yet to be passed by Congress, the agency’s estimate says. The request follows a targeted ballistic missile attack by Iran against the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The full package would include “$10.5 billion in research, development, test and evaluation funding, $1.6 billion in procurement, $720.4 million…

The U.S. halted shipments of precision weapons and missile defense systems to Ukraine as the Pentagon fears America’s own stockpile may be running dangerously low, Politico reported Tuesday. The shipments contained missile defense systems and other precision guided munitions such as the Patriot missile defense system, which is commonly used by the Ukrainians to shoot down incoming Russian attacks. The move to stop the shipments came from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, who has long advocated for a renewed U.S. focus on China and disengagement from other theaters. “The Department of Defense continues to provide the President with robust options to continue…

The FBI is investigating a trio of children’s hospitals for allegedly and potentially violating a federal law against genital mutilation through the provision of pediatric sex change surgeries, according to a Fox News report. The hospitals reportedly under FBI scrutiny for providing sex change surgeries and hormone replacement therapy include Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed attorneys general in an April 22 memo to pursue cases against health providers under 18 U.S.C. § 116, a federal statute outlawing female genital mutilation on any person under the age of 18. The crime carries a maximum prison sentence…

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, called him “daddy” as a way to show his affection. Rutte praised Trump for dropping an f-bomb while criticizing Israel and Iran’s violation of a ceasefire deal, stating that “daddy has to sometimes use strong language.” A reporter at the NATO Summit asked Trump if he views his allies as his “children.” “Mark Rutte, the NATO chief, is your friend. He called you daddy earlier. Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?” the reporter asked. “No, he likes me,” Trump said. “I think…

The Trump administration is funding a project in Florida that seeks to turn an airfield in the Everglades — surrounded by swamp water and alligators — into a massive migrant detention facility. Florida GOP Attorney General James Uthmeier, who dubbed the project “Alligator Alcatraz,” proposed the idea earlier in June, suggesting that the location would be perfect because detainees would have virtually nowhere to escape. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem confirmed in a public statement that the facility would be funded, at least in large part, by FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program.

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to more quickly deport illegal migrants to countries not specified in their removal orders. A majority temporarily blocked a lower court order that required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give migrants notice and allow them to raise concerns about potential threats of torture before deporting them to a “third country.” Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan dissented from the decision. “Apparently, the Court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in farflung locales more palatable than the remote possibility that a District Court exceeded its remedial powers when it ordered…

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new crackdown Wednesday on the flow of American DNA to labs in China and other adversaries. The FDA previously allowed for the outsourcing of research involving the genetic manipulation of American citizens’ living cells to China, the agency said in a press release. The cells would then be reimported into the U.S., sometimes without the knowledge of the clinical trial participants. The U.S. began enforcing new export controls limiting sensitive genetic data flowing to adversarial countries last year. The rule, finalized in December 2024 and implemented in April, carved out a loophole for…

College graduates who immigrated to the U.S. on student visas earn substantially more than their native-born counterparts, according to an analysis by the Economic Innovation Group (EIG). The median salary for natural-born U.S. college graduates, as of 2023, is $87,000, while graduates who initially came to the U.S. on student visas earned a median of $115,000, the EIG’s analysis of the National Survey of College Graduates showed. The findings follow the Trump administration’s heightened scrutiny of foreign students amid concerns over national security and antisemitism on campuses. India and China are the top two countries of origin for foreign-born graduates, with approximately 372,000 and 303,000 graduates…
