U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker reportedly walked into a closed meeting this summer and told allies something most conservatives have been saying out loud for years: the International Criminal Court is a threat to national sovereignty and needs to be neutralized. Politico’s reporting that Whitaker urged NATO partners to leave the Rome Statute and […] More

Vice President J.D. Vance had a simple answer this week when reporters pressed him about his friendship with Tucker Carlson.

The City of Lomita quietly announced this week that Dutch Bros will build a coffee shop on Pacific Coast Highway — a three‑lane drive‑thru with a walk‑up window at 2270 Pacific Coast Highway. If you love coffee, this sounds like a blessing. If you live near a small South Bay intersection, you might call it […] More

New reporting about Elaine Chao set off a public brawl this week. Dennis Wilder, a senior fellow at Georgetown’s Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues, called the reporting “racist” on social media. Critics quickly pushed back by pointing to Wilder’s own China-related ties — Georgetown’s $10 million Spring Breeze gift, CP Group links, and […] More

Energy Secretary Chris Wright did not mince words this week. In blunt TV interviews he said the United States is deliberately choking off Iran’s oil income — “We are strangling their economy” — while the military protects shipping and takes out vessels tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has a […] More

U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta has ordered the immediate release of a man in ICE custody, finding he was held too long without a bond hearing.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin blasted the ruling, calling it […] More

The United States has moved from words to action in the Gulf — and the price is already being paid at the pump. CENTCOM says American forces have struck and disabled or destroyed three Iran-linked oil tankers after Iranian missiles targeted U.S. warships, and Tehran is answering with threats of its own: an announced “exclusion […] More

One year after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at a Turning Point event, the Republican movement marked the anniversary with solemn tributes, public ceremonies, and clear political message‑making.

The California Legislature just sent AB 2599 to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. The bill would force big companies doing business in California to hunt through 19th‑century records and file sworn affidavits about any ties to slavery.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani used an executive order on Labor Day to create the Mayor’s Office of Worker Power (MOWP). The city calls it the first office of its kind.

Senator John Kennedy this Sunday told NBC’s Meet the Press what many voters already feel: inflation is “gutting the middle class like a fish.” He didn’t just toss out a sound bite. He used the moment to call out Congress and say Republicans have the tools to act — if they actually wanted to. That […] More

The Postal Service published its “Ballot Mail for Federal Elections” final rule, and the internet predictably filled with shrieks, corrections and hot takes.

He took the stage in Dallas and did something Washington hasn’t seen in a long time: the U.S. Attorney General spoke at a partisan midterm convention and said, plainly, that his department will pursue the kinds of cases Republicans have made their bread-and-butter — drugs, human traffickers, fraudsters, and illegal border crossings. That’s the soundbite; […] More

President Donald Trump used a high-energy Dallas appearance to put meat on the bones of a conservative, pro-worker pledge that every American adult could receive a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if Republicans hold both chambers of Congress. The bold promise spoke directly to middle-class families who have been ignored by status-quo Washington, and it reframes the […] More

The Justice Department and the Education Department this week dropped a legal bomb on one of the country’s leading law schools. Their joint finding says UC Berkeley School of Law deliberately discriminated against white and Asian applicants in admissions for the classes that arrived in 2024 and 2025. This isn’t a he-said, she-said dust-up. The […] More

Local Baytown centenarian Blynda Vidock just marked a milestone: she celebrated her 105th birthday in a new FOX 26 feature that captured family, faith and old-fashioned habits.
