Trump Administration Pushes Forward with Deportation Flights Regardless of Judge's Stay
Buckle up, folks—things are heating up in Washington! Attorney General Pam Bondi just had a gasket blow on Fox News, saying the Trump administration is full steam ahead with deportation flights for illegal Venezuelan immigrants, regardless of a federal judge ordering them to put on the brakes. "Absolutely," she said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Monday night, guest-hosted by Jeanine Pirro. Bondi’s not backing down, and neither is Team Trump, as they lean hard into a 200-year-old law to kick out nearly 300 people they’re calling “foreign terrorists.” Let’s unpack this wild ride!

What the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil signals
The Gestapo. The Stasi. The NKVD. SMERSH. ICE. Know what they have in common? They are all secret police forces that dragged their own citizens away in totalitarian regimes of the past.

From Slavery to Genocide: The American Tradition of Hideous Moral Compromise
There are many differences between myself and a typical Republican. One of them: I do not shed a single tear if some monuments to General Robert E. Lee and other Confederate-era figures are being removed.

The President I'd Rather Follow
Everyone has their political leanings. This article is not about politics. It’s about leadership. I’ve become rather unnerved by reading the news lately. 2025 is not the year I was hoping it would be. I believe that elected officials should be leaders among the population that they represent. For example, a mayor should be a leader of and in his/her city. An elected board member of a nonprofit should be a leader among all who serve or benefit from that nonprofit. A state senator should be a leader in their state. By that same logic, a president of a sovereign nation should be a leader among his nation.
