U.S. Special Envoy to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad on December 12 said peace negotiations with the Taliban are taking a “brief pause” after the insurgent group staged an attack on the main U.S. military base in the country. Taliban militants had the previous day struck near the Bagram U.S. military base, killing at least two Afghan civilians and wounding more than 70 other people, including five Georgian soldiers. The December 11 attack, which included at least one suicide car bombing, came as the United States last

After the two days of deliberations, the House Judiciary Committee has voted to send the articles of impeachment to the House floor for a full vote. The committee held the vote Friday morning following two prior days of arguments comprised of Democrats insisting President Trump be held accountable, while Republicans maintained Trump committed no wrongdoing. In two separate votes of 23-17, the committee approved both Articles I and II of impeachment. Article I alleges that President Trump abused the power of the presidency “to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections.” Article II alleges that Trump defied subpoenas and

The 2020 defense policy bill the House of Representatives passed Wednesday includes a pay raise for service members, a repeal of the so-called 'widow's tax' and mandates that the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot integrate women by 2027. It also also includes a provision for paid parental leave for federal workers and the creation of the Space Force as the sixth branch of the military. It is expected to pass the Senate and be signed by President Donald Trump, who said on Twitter Wednesday that 'all of our priorities have made it into the final NDAA,' or National Defense

Packing five guns, including an assault rifle, the two killers who stormed a kosher market in Jersey City were driven by hatred of Jews and law enforcement in an apparent act of domestic terrorism, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Thursday. “The evidence points toward acts of hate,” Grewal told a press conference. “We’re investigating this as a potential act of terrorism.” Investigators have found five firearms connected to the two shooters, Grewal said. An AR-15-style weapon recovered inside the market was believed to be the weapon that David Anderson, 47, wielded when he burst into the store, launching

On Saturday the United States Military Academy (USMA) West Point and the United States Naval Academy (USNA) Annapolis will face off for their 120th Army-Navy rivalry football game.

As Dzhokhar Tsarnaev makes a bid to overturn his death penalty and win a new trial, the former warden of the federal Supermax prison in Colorado wants to assure Boston Marathon bombing victims that the killer is living in hell. While some victims say the 26-year-old murderer deserves death, former “Alcatraz of the Rockies” warden Bob Hood tells the Herald that solitary confinement in the harsh Federal Correctional Complex Florence is “punishment beyond the death penalty.” Tsarnaev admitted to his role and was convicted in the April 15, 2013, marathon bombings that killed Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and

By Robert Romano Former Trump foreign policy campaign advisor Carter Page was a U.S. agent who reported on Russians to the CIA, not a Russian agent, a memorandum the FBI received as early as Aug. 2016 shows according to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report detailing abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) including spying on …

Can the clueless and humorless Left take any joke? This week they stepped in it twice. Check out this tweet from Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis: The Bee mocking the Dems: “We have found Trump guilty of absolutely nothing, but we already started this whole process and it would look bad to back out now, …

ICE's focus on workplace enforcement—targeting both illegal aliens and their employers—has intensified in the past two years. Homeland Security Investigations, the ICE arm that carries out criminal investigations, opened 6,812 new workplace cases in the 2019 fiscal year, up from 1,701 during fiscal 2016. The agency made 2,048 administrative arrests, primarily of illegal aliens, up roughly 500 from the year before.

It has been more than two months since we entered fiscal year 2020, and not a single full-year appropriations bill has been completed. Moreover, I have yet to see evidence that we’re any closer to resolving this issue. Despite my opposition to using continuing resolutions to manage our government, Congress passed another continuing resolution just before Thanksgiving to extend funding to Dec. 20 at fiscal year 2019 levels. Kicking this can further down the road hurts our military, ports, infrastructure investments, and borders.

Illegal and visiting immigrants give birth to enough children in the United States every year to top the populations of St. Louis, Pittsburgh, or Anaheim, and at least 33,000 are considered “birth tourists” eager to win their children birthright citizenship and themselves a quick ticket in, according to two new reports out Thursday.

Invasion. President Trump is right.

by Dan Mitchell I was very surprised by the 2016 election in the United States, but I didn’t have a rooting interest, so I watched the results mostly for reasons of morbid curiosity. Because of my support for Brexit, by contrast, I was intensely interested in the results of yesterday’s election in the United Kingdom. So you can imagine my …

RUSH: Biden is admitting that he gets a prosecutor fired in exchange for $1 billion in American loan guarantees, American aid. He's bragging about it.

If Trump had a problem with Chris Wallace before (he did), then he’s really not going to like his latest critique.

The last straw - Jim just knocked it all down!

The newest squad for conservatives is made up of Alabama congressional candidate Jessica Taylor, Minnesota congressional candidate Michelle Fischbach, South Carolina congressional candidate Nancy Mace and Texas congressional candidate Beth Van Duyne.
