Trump issues cartel warning as drones swarm El Paso

President Donald Trump hinted that the US is inching towards striking countries harboring drug cartels just over a month after seizing Nicolas Maduro from his bed and taking operational control of Venezuela. It comes on the heels of a brief and complete airport shutdown in the southern border city of El Paso, Texas on Wednesday morning after Mexican drones entered US airspace. On Tuesday, the president bragged to Fox News that drug trafficking into the US has dropped by 33 percent after the middle-of-the-night capture of Maduro last month – and the administration has since left open the possibility that Trump's military campaign could widen beyond Venezuela.

Leavitt’s comments conflict with President’s ‘Trump Station’ denial

An answer provided by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at Tuesday's press briefing may have unintentionally outed President Donald Trump for telling a brazen lie. Leavitt was grilled on why Trump asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to help him rename New York's Penn Station to Trump Station. On Friday, Trump told reporters on board Air Force One as he traveled to Florida for the weekend that it was Schumer's idea for the train station rebrand. The New York Democrat quickly snapped back and said it wasn't. 'Absolute lie. He knows it. Everyone knows it,' Schumer posted to X.

Trump silent on TPUSA halftime performance

President Donald Trump has shared a sharp critique of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance but has stayed silent on Turning Point USA's counter-programming show. One might assume the president would have tuned in to the conservative network's show featuring Kid Rock and country singers Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. However, videos from the president's Mar-a-Lago Super Bowl watch party show Bad Bunny's performance plastered onto the big screens. TPUSA announced its own show after conservatives expressed outrage that the ' woke' Puerto Rican singer would be performing his show in Spanish.

Conservative media mogul backs Cruz for 2028, snubbing JD Vance

Senator Ted Cruz told donors that he expects Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy to back his 2028 presidential bid, the Daily Mail can reveal, handing the Texan a significant conservative megaphone in his likely challenge to Vice President JD Vance. The disclosure comes as Ruddy is scheduled to testify before Cruz's SenateCommittee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on Tuesday for a hearing titled 'We Interrupt This Program: Media Ownership and the Digital Age.' Ruddy has publicly opposed a Federal Communications Commission rule change that would raise the cap on local television station ownership. That would allow a merger between Nexstar, the parent company of NewsNation, and Tenga, which owns 64 local television stations in 51 U.S. markets, to proceed.

Report: Epstein bombshell as link to ‘senior government official’ revealed

Jeffrey Epstein was associated with a current top foreign government official, lawmakers have revealed after viewing redacted files. Representatives Thomas Massie, a Republican, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat, revealed during a Monday press conference that six men are likely incriminated in the files. The bipartisan duo has spearheaded the release of the Epstein Files since last July and pushed for a vote on their Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was eventually signed into law by President Trump. Despite the law, they are still fighting for transparency as the DOJ released more than 3 million Epstein files on January 30, but the majority of them were heavily redacted.

MAGA podcaster influencer exposes the fights exploding in secret

Conservative podcaster Jayme Leagh Franklin says liberal women - not men - are her fiercest critics, and she's calling out what she sees as the left's hypocrisy of claiming to champion all women while savagely attacking conservative ones. The University of California, Berkeley graduate, who worked in Donald Trump's first White House and now hosts the podcast Sincerely American, says the mockery of cabinet members like Kristi Noem as 'ICE Barbie' exposes the reality behind progressive feminism. 'I rarely have men attacking me. It's always other women,' Franklin told the Daily Mail. 'Women are the most vicious to one another, especially liberal women towards conservative women.' Franklin particularly expressed distaste for the nasty mockery of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following escalating ICE activity in Minnesota. 'I find it funny when the left attacks Kristi Noem or any of the female members of Trump's cabinet, or anyone a part of the administration, or conservative women in general because these people claim to be feminists,' Franklin said.

Report: Trump set to clear Steve Bannon’s January 6 criminal record

Donald Trump is trying to clear the criminal record of his longtime confidant Steven Bannon relating to the January 6 Capitol riot. The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court and a federal judge on Monday to dismiss Bannon's criminal indictment and conviction for refusing to testify before the Democrat-led January 6 Committee. A DOJ representative declared removing the charges against Bannon is in the 'interests of justice' after years of alleged political persecution under the prior administration. Bannon served four months in federal prison in 2024 after being convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress.

Olympians confess Trump’s America is ‘hard to represent’

Olympians in Italy are finding it hard to represent Team USA with Donald Trump as their president, a handful of these world-class athletes have shared publicly. While none have mentioned President Trump by name, many have made it clear their comments are a direct rebuke of his administration's policies. 'It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now, I think. It's a little hard,' freestyle skier Hunter Hess said during a press conference. 'There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't.' The Oregon native went on: 'Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.'

Report: Reason Trump is skipping the Super Bowl

Donald Trump is not going to the Super Bowl on Sunday because aides warned him the crowd would not welcome him kindly to the stadium, a new report claims. The President said last month he wouldn't be going to the NFL's championship game in Santa Clara, California because it's 'just too far away.' 'I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter,' he told the New York Post. But the real reason, sources now tell progressive outlet Zeteo, is that Trump heard from advisers and officials that the crowd would heckle him at the Bay Area stadium home to the San Francisco 49ers. One White House official said Trump's chances of getting booed were 'big league', and four people familiar with the situation said the administration was worried about the slew of video clips and media coverage the scene would undeniably attract.

JD Vance blasts Nick Fuentes who has targeted his wife and children

Vice President JD Vance condemned his most racist archenemy, Nick Fuentes, who has targeted his wife and children, but stopped short of denouncing his followers. The vice president said in a wide-ranging exclusive interview with the Daily Mail on Tuesday that Fuentes could 'eat [expletive],' but dodged from condemning his online supporters, known as 'Groypers.' Fuentes, a far-right provocateur with millions of young followers, has attacked Second Lady Usha Vance with racial insults over her Indian heritage. Donald Trump had dinner with Fuentes and Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022. The President has refused to denounce the 27-year-old far-right leader when asked on multiple occasions.

Carolla, who lives in California, revealed that he once hosted Newsom on his show in 2013 for a political conversation and found the then-lieutenant governor strangely disconnected.

Ryan Routh sentenced to life in prison for trying to assassinate Trump

A maniac who tried to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course at the height of the 2024 election campaign will spend the rest of his life in prison. Ryan Routh, 59, was sentenced on Wednesday to life in prison, plus 84 months. US District Judge Aileen Cannon pronounced Ryan Routh's fate in the same Fort Pierce courtroom that erupted into chaos in September when he tried to stab himself shortly after jurors found him guilty on all counts. Prosecutors had asked for life without parole, saying Routh is unrepentant and has never apologized. A defense attorney brought in for his sentencing asked for 27 years, noting that Routh is already turning 60.

Before reporters were ushered out of the room, one was able to sneak in a question to Melania about calls for convicted sexual trafficker Maxwell to be moved to a high security prison amid the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
