UK Prime Minister discusses Russia-Ukraine peace deal in White House visit

By Morgan Sweeney | The Center Square U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the White House Thursday to further discuss the U.S. and Europe’s role in brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine. Starmer thanked President Donald Trump for the actions he’s taken so far to prepare the way for a peace deal between the two countries, and said the U.K. wants to partner with the U.S. to make it a lasting negotiation. “Thank you for changing the conversation to bring about the possibility that now we can have a peace deal,” Starmer told Trump. “We want to work with you to make sure that peace deal is enduring, that it lasts, but it’s a deal that goes down as a historic deal that nobody breaches, and we’ll work with you to make sure that absolutely happens.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Pentagon replies to DOGE ‘5 bullets’ request with details of ‘action-packed, America first week’

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Pentagon Chief Spokesman Sean Parnell on Friday morning released the first weekly situation report, outlining key events that occurred during the week at the Department of Defense. The report was posted to X Friday morning, tagging Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, and addressed to America’s “warfighters, and the American taxpayers," saying, "This is what we did this week," a callback to the email sent to federal employees by Musk over the weekend asking them to include five things they accomplished in the prior week. Parnell outlined the five things the Department of Defense accomplished over the past week, which was an "action-packed, America First week," the first being the nomination of Lieutenant General Dan "R...

Kittle: Patel’s FBI could shine light on Nashville trans school shooter’s manifesto

By  M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist For those who believe politically weaponized justice is injustice, Pam Bondi running the Department of Justice and Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI feels like a warm spring breeze after a brutally cold winter. For those who turned federal law enforcement into the Stasi and cheered on the myriad abuses (I’m looking at you Schiff, you weasel), things are about to get, well, difficult.  There’s much to look forward to in the reckoning that Trump 2.0 is bringing to the people who transformed America’s DOJ into a banana republic. It’s long past time for accountability and, hopefully, justice served to the wicked.  Transparency is absolutely essential in that pursuit. Patel could go a long way on that front by ...

Trump to make English the nation’s official language

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order declaring English the official language of the United States, a White House official confirmed to the Daily Caller. The Wall Street Journal first reported Friday that though the nation has not had an official language Trump is planning to sign an executive order declaring one. A summary of the order, provided to the WSJ, writes that the move is in an effort to promote “unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.”  The executive order is expected to rescind a federal mandate from former President Bill Clinton, which required agencies and other recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers, the WSJ reported. ...

Thune squeezes Democrats with transgender athlete Senate vote

By David Sivak | Washington Examiner Senate Democrats will take a politically difficult vote on Monday when Republicans bring to the floor a bill preventing transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which withholds federal funding to schools that permit transgender participation, is not likely to become law due to the Senate filibuster. But the vote, teed up Thursday by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), suggests the continued potency Republicans see in transgender politics after putting it front and center in the 2024 election. It is one of the first bills Senate GOP leadership is prioritizing since retaking the majority in January. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Pam Bondi says FBI lied to her about turning over all of the Epstein files

By  Ashe Schow | Daily Wire In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the bureau of lying to her about turning over its files on millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi sent the letter on Thursday, after she said she learned from a source Wednesday night that she hadn’t received all the Epstein files despite the FBI’s repeated assurances that she had. “Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein,” Bondi wrote to Patel, according to a copy of the letter posted to X by Michael Shellenberger. “In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.” R...

Pentagon says transgender troops are disqualified from service without an exemption

By Anders Hagstrom  | Fox News U.S. service members who are transgender or otherwise exhibit gender dysphoria are prohibited from military service unless they obtain an exemption, according to an internal Pentagon memo. The memo, revealed in a court filing on Wednesday night, details the Trump administration's new policy regarding transgender individuals. The policy notes that such service members "may be considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis, provided there is a compelling Government interest." "Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are disqualified from military service," the memo reads.

Zelensky’s PR Problem: Americans are on Trump’s Side

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Trump’s recent comments about Ukraine President Zelensky are impacting American support for Ukraine aid. While many liberals still view solidarity with Ukraine as a moral imperative, appetite for military or financial aid is quickly drying up in both political parties. Republicans overwhelmingly support Trump’s strategy for dealing with the Ukraine-Russia conflict, often viewing Zelensky as a dictator. American sentiment toward Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelensky continues to deteriorate. Since the end of the Biden administration, the financial burden with uncertain benefits have been souring American taxpayers on what was once a largely supported cause. The rhetoric between Trump and Zelensky has escalated, bringing out frustration i...

Trump confirms tariffs on Mexico, Canada will be implemented March 4

By Hank Berrien | Daily Wire President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed that tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will indeed be implemented on March 4, as well as hitting China with an additional 10% tariff. “Drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “A large percentage of these Drugs, much of them in the form of Fentanyl, are made in, and supplied by, China. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous and highly addictive POISONS. Millions of people have died over the last two decades. The families of the victims are devastated and, in many instances, virtually destroyed. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore,...

White House Correspondence cartel is freaking out because it’s losing power and control, not press freedom

By Elle Purnell | Commentary, The Federalist During all the meltdowns about Donald Trump’s election being a “threat to democracy,” someone observantly noted that all the panic made sense once you replaced the word “democracy” with “bureaucracy.” Now, as D.C. journo types panic about the threat to a “free press” posed by Trump’s breakup of the White House Correspondents’ Association monopoly, replacing “free press” with “corporate media’s control of news narratives” provides similar clarity. On Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the White House would have the final say on which reporters have access to President Trump in the “most intimate spaces” such as the Oval Office as part of the 13-member press pool. Gatekeeping this access was previously the purview of the gr...
