The recent acts drew renewed attention to Trump's initial push earlier in his administration to acquire other countries like Greenland.Considering Trump's public interest in acquiring Canada as the "51st state," Toronto Star columnist Vinay Menon questioned whether Ford needs to "beef up security" out

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Thursday exposed that 54% of North Carolina’s non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to foreign nationals reviewed by federal officials were issued illegally.The discovery came amid the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) ongoing nationwide audit of the state’s truck licensing systems. If North Carolina does not revoke all illegally issued licenses, the Department of Transportation (DOT) will withhold nearly $50 million in federal funding."North Carolina’s failure to follow the rules isn’t just shameful — it's dangerous. I’m calling on state leadership to immediately remove these dangerous drivers from our roads and clean up their system," Duffy wrote

A few years before Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed Cea Weaver to run his Office to Protect Tenants, Democratic Assemblyman Kalman Yeger says the NYC Council signaled it would not confirm her for an influential city planning commission because she was too radical. Mamdani has not pulled Weaver's appointment amid some of the same concerns city council members had back in 2021, including resurfaced comments she made calling homeownership a "weapon of white supremacy" and arguments that property should be treated as a "collective good." "Guess it's easier to name a communist to a position that doesn't require confirmation," Yeger said amid the

President Donald Trump unleashed his fury on a handful of Senate Republicans who rebelled against him on Thursday, demanding that they never be re-elected. Five Senate Republicans broke ranks to support a bipartisan war powers resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., geared toward reining in Trump’s ability to pursue further military action in Venezuela. It served as a rare rebuke from Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Todd Young, R-Ind., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., in a Republican-controlled Senate that has largely accepted and advanced many of Trump’s legislative desires. TRUMP EMBRACES US INTERVENTION IN VENEZUELA, OPENS DOOR TO BROADER

Christian author Philip Yancey, who has been married for more than five decades, confessed to engaging in a multi-year affair, telling Christianity Today in a statement that he had "disqualified" himself from ministry.Yancey did not mince words or seek to defend the affair — he acknowledged the sinfulness of his behavior and the devastating consequences of his actions."To my great shame, I confess that for eight years I willfully engaged in a sinful affair with a married woman. My conduct defied everything that I believe about marriage. It was also totally inconsistent with my faith and my writings and caused

As the details of Minnesota’s widescale social services fraud blew up on social media over the Christmas holidays, it was hard to miss the contrast between the reaction of Republicans and Democrats.  While Republicans were outraged, Democrats minimized and denied the very existence of the problem. With each new revelation of systemic fraud against the American taxpayer, we’re seeing a common denominator. Fraud protections have been deliberately bypassed in the pursuit of progressive political goals. Whether by incompetence or design, Democratic policies have turned the federal treasury into a piggy bank for fraudsters. American taxpayers have always been a fat target.  But the industrial
