While an endorsement from Donald Trump is usually election gold for Republicans, a little-known candidate for a swing House seat crushed the president’s pick despite having dropped out of the race a month ago and barely campaigning.

In the Republican primary for Michigan’s Eighth Congressional District, retired engineer Tom Smith, who reportedly spent less than $2,000 campaigning, collected 50.4% of the vote compared to Trump-backed Navy veteran Amir Hassan who had 33.2%.

“I fell short last night,” Hassan said Wednesday in a video recorded in his car. “I make no excuse. It was a tough race.”

“I know what God has in store for me is something greater,

President Donald Trump says the Democrat primary win by Abdulrahman Mohammad El-Sayed for the Michigan U.S. Senate race is a good thing.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee dropped an ad describing him as a terrorist-supporting activist whose friends believe America “deserved” 9/11 and who wants to tax waitresses and delivery drivers only minutes after the announcement.

And one of El-Sayed’s endorsers, his “bestie boo, streamer and nepo-nephew Hasan Piker,” dropped a foul-mouth rant in which he seemed unable to complete a sentence without multiple uses of the F-word, calling those who didn’t support El-Sayed “unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s***.'”

‘Devastating consequences’: Last-chance appeal by lawmaker convicted for quoting Bible

A lawmaker in Finland who stunningly was accused – and convicted – of quoting from the Bible, which the judiciary there deemed an insult to some people – has confirmed an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Win or lose, that court likely is the final step for Päivi Räsänen, who was convicted by an appeals court in Finland for "expressing her beliefs on marriage and sexual ethics in a 2004 booklet written for her church."

It is ADF International that has worked on her case since it developed years ago.

"Appealing my conviction is about much more than a fine or a decades-old church booklet," said Räsänen following the filing of her appeal. "My case stands to determine whether the fundamental rights of religious freedom and free speech are still protected in Finland and across Europe, and whether these societies are still willing to stand up for the

New Trump program testing if large cash bonds cut down on immigrants’ dependence on public assistance

A new program being tested by the administration of President Donald Trump is to determine whether a requirement for some immigrants to post bonds before they are granted a visa to enter the U.S. cuts down on their dependence on public assistance programs.

A report at the Free Beacon explains the White House has plans  to require some prospective immigrants to post a bond of up to $250,000 to get their visa.

It’s described as “part of a new pilot program aimed at ensuring those who seek a new home in America have the financial means to support themselves without taxpayer handouts.”

The report explained the program by the Department of Homeland Security initially will apply to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic.

State Department officials told the publication it is starting with those “who

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed had been the newly picked Democrat party nominee for U.S. Senate from Michigan for only hours when startling charges about improper connections and cash arose.

El-Sayed’s campaign had taken in more than $115,000 from people “who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” according to a Fox News report.

The problem with that?

CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

CAIR, the politically active organization promotion Islam throughout America, in fact, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-funding trial

Documents confirm FBI’s own ‘memo’ goof, as bureau treated SPLC as ‘government agency’

Documents confirm FBI’s own ‘memo’ goof, as bureau treated SPLC as ‘government agency’

A few years back, during Joe Biden’s tenure in the White House when Catholics and other Christians seemed often to be in the bull’s-eye of his pro-abortion, pro-transgender, pro-leftist ideologies, the FBI’s Richmond office came up with a memo.

It identified “radical traditionalist Catholics” as potential domestic violent extremists. Terrorists, in fact.

The disastrous claims triggered a congressional investigation, a review by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General and widespread comments about the religious profiling active under Biden’s regiome.

It was “withdrawn,” officials confirmed, for not meeting bureau “standards.”

But now the full truth of the matter is being revealed. It seems that the FBI’s claims were based on sourcing from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, which agents at the time apparently were treating as a government agency.

The SPLC now, in fact, is under indictment for a number of counts

Federal judge takes sledgehammer to National Firearms Act

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Firearms Act (NFA) no longer applies to suppressors and other items whose taxes were reduced to $0 in July 2025.

United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, granted a motion for summary judgment from attorneys representing the Silencer Shop Foundation Wednesday. In the 66-page opinion, Hendrix said that because taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and other items had been reduced to $0 by legislation signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025, the registration and paperwork imposed by the NFA exceeded Congress' authority under the taxation power.

"In 2025, Congress eliminated the NFA's transfer and making taxes for four categories of firearms: short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, silencers, and a final, defined group of miscellaneous firearms," Hendrix wrote. "Because today's NFA does not generate any revenue from untaxed firearms, its regulatory provisions cannot be upheld under the taxing power. And there is no sign in the NFA's text, structure, or statutory history that Congress invoked any other

‘Thrashing, crying, and grabbing the doctor’s hands to stop him’: Feds shut down organ-procurement network for wild violations

RFK Jr., the chief of the nation’s Department of Health and Human Services, has announced the decertification of “Network for Hope,” an organ procurement company working in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia.

The group, which sought to obtain organs and then deliver them for transplant procedures, was cited for “extensive” patient safety failures.

In one case cited by Kennedy, a patient was on an operating room table and was showing awareness of his situation with the procurement company pushing for completion of the harvesting.

Surgeons refused and that man remains alive today because of their decision.

Kennedy said the organization put patients on organ donation pathways “who never should have been there,” and sometimes the donation procedures continued even though the patients were not appropriate organ donors.

A U.S. Senate committee on Thursday voted 8-5 to hold Anthony Fauci, once the chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Joe Biden’s key COVID-19 pandemic adviser, in contempt of Congress.

An immediate referral to the Department of Justice for a formal investigation and possible criminal charges was expected.

It was a vote in the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee that put Fauci, whose contempt for the American public already was in evidence through the release of a diary he kept on government computers, in the position of facing possible legal consequences.
