Trump rakes in over $1M in small donations after first day in New York hush money trial

By Mallory Wilson  | The Washington Times Former President Donald Trump raised over $1 million in campaign funds after his first court day in his New York hush-money case. Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and newly elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday that Americans came out in support of Mr Trump while he faces his first criminal trial. “The people of America spoke up yesterday in support of Donald Trump to the tune of a million and a half dollars raised for his campaign,” she said. “The average donation was $28, so even here, in the abysmal Biden economy, people are coming out and they are financially supporting this president.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Miltimore: New study calls into question whether DEI programs really boost corporate earnings

By Jon Miltimore | The Foundation for Economic Education It’s safe to say that diversity, equity, and inclusion is one of the more controversial ideas of our time (and a multibillion-dollar industry). Some such as Elon Musk argue that DEI — which definitionally speaking means addressing structural inequalities in society — constitutes blatant racism. Others contend that DEI is simply about creating more equitable and harmonious workplaces, and offers clear financial benefits to companies, as well. “Study after study has proved that diverse companies perform better than their more homogeneous counterparts,” Inc. reported in 2023. “Companies that don’t foster an inclusive environment or prioritize diversity initiatives do so at their own peril.” ...

Supreme Court grapples with obstruction charge lobbed at 350 Jan. 6 defendants, Trump

By Stephen Dinan and Alex Swoyer | The Washington Times The Supreme Court struggled Tuesday with the government’s case against 350 Jan. 6 defendants from the 2021 protest at the Capitol, with justices pondering how a law written in the wake of the Enron document-shredding scandal can be applied to those who brought the 2020 election certification to a halt. The law criminalizes obstructing or impeding an official proceeding, which the Biden administration says goes beyond courtrooms and criminal investigations and covers Congress’ electoral vote counting that the demonstration delayed. But GOP-appointed justices repeatedly challenged the Justice Department’s aggressive use of the law against the Jan. 6 defendants, questioning why it wasn’t also used in 2020 against rioters who att...

Rosen: The left’s assault on American patriotism

By Mike Rosen | Complete Colorado The conventional definition of patriotism is love for and loyalty to one’s country. A 2023 survey published in the Wall Street Journal found that only 38% of respondents thought patriotism was very important to them, down sharply from 70% when that question was first asked in 1998.While 59% of seniors 65 and older feel that way today, only 23% of adults under 30 do. I vividly remember America’s 200th birthday in 1976.  Patriotic activities and celebrations abounded across the country leading up to a grand finale on the glorious Bicentennial Day.  What has doused that American spirit? The American left. It’s been a long slog but I’d trace its roots to the 1960s and 70s with the emergence of what came to be called the “New Left.” ...

Raleigh: Joe Biden’s signature achievement is his list of broken promises

By HELEN RALEIGH | The Federalist President Joe Biden’s Energy Department canceled its plan to purchase millions of barrels of oil to refill the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The cancellation means the Biden administration is unlikely to fulfill its promise of fully replenishing the SPR by the end of the year, and the SPR will remain at a historically low level after the administration depleted it in 2022.  The depletion of the SPR was caused by the Biden administration’s own failed energy policy. Shortly after he came into office, President Biden issued a series of anti-fossil fuel energy policies, including canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline project and halting leasing on federal lands for oil and gas production. Biden’s energy policies stran...

News organizations urge Biden and Trump to commit to presidential debates during the 2024 campaign

By David Bauder | The Washington Times Twelve news organizations on Sunday urged presumptive presidential nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump to agree to debates, saying they were a “rich tradition” that have been part of every general election campaign since 1976. While Trump, who did not participate in debates for the Republican nomination, has indicated a willingness to take on his 2020 rival, the Democratic president has not committed to debating him again. Although invitations have not been formally issued, the news organizations said it was not too early for each campaign to say publicly that it will participate in the three presidential and one vice presidential forums set by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.

Illegal immigrants would be banned from boarding commercial flights under GOP bill

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner A senior House Republican is poised to introduce legislation that would ban illegal immigrants from flying into the United States from abroad or from the border without the same documents that the general traveling public must have, the Washington Examiner has learned. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) will debut the Verifying that All Illegal Aliens Have Legitimate Documents, or VALID, Act on Thursday in an attempt to shut down lawful pathways for immigration that the Biden administration has rolled out and admitted hundreds of thousands of immigrants into the country through. “While Americans must show proper identification to board their flights, ...

Mexican cartel uses death threat to force tribal leader to cancel U.S. House testimony

By Stephen Dinan | The Washington Times A Mexican drug cartel used death threats to force a tribal leader to back out of testifying to Congress this week, according to another tribal leader who did show up to tell lawmakers just how much power the drug lords have accumulated. Jeffrey Stiffarm, president of the Fort Belknap Indian Community in Montana, said he didn’t want to name the fellow leader who backed out, but he said the threat seemed real and credible. “One thing that we really seem to overlook all the time is the threats, the death threats we get from cartel leaders,” he told the House Natural Resources Committee. “We had the tribal leader from Montana, that declined to testify here today because he received death threats that he was going to testify.” READ THE FIULL S...

Sullivan: No, they are not ‘mainstream’

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Texas Scorecard We often hear people refer to the collection of leftist newspapers and television networks that once held sway over the dissemination of facts and opinions as the “mainstream media.” In fact, there is nothing “mainstream” about them. By definition, the dying legacy outlets are NOT mainstream. The clearest evidence for this is found in their declining sales, diminishing market penetration, and nonexistent economic viability. If the newspapers and networks that get so casually labeled “mainstream” actually were, they wouldn’t be laying off staff as their circulations and viewerships plummet. Texas newspapers, for example, have fewer readers today than ever before, despite the massive surge in the state’s population. Sure, they...
