Alexander Muse catches Yale doing what the credentialed left does best: advocacy in a lab coat.

The Medicare for All study claims a single-payer system would save more than $1 trillion and prevent more than 114,000 deaths, but the “projection” is really a spreadsheet of wishful assumptions.

Cheaper drugs, Medicare-rate providers, lower administration, reduced fraud, fewer hospital visits—each gets entered like a fact, then the total gets sold as science. The arithmetic may add. The premises collapse.

Trump on Data Centers

President Donald Trump announced that 23 governors have signed his pledge that seeks to protect households from absorbing utility costs tied to data centers, the sprawling facilities powering artificial intelligence that are expanding rapidly across the country.

The governors, all Republicans, are among nearly 200 stakeholders ‒ major utility companies, data center developers, public power and co-ops ‒ who have signed Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The pledge was first put forward by the White House in March.

Trump, who has defended data centers as they face resistance in many communities, touted the growing coalition at a July 23 event at the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters, where he was joined by four of the governors.

DEI Agenda OUT at Foreign Service; Merit Policy IN

State Department Ends DEI Policies in Foreign Service

A review conducted by the State Department found that DEI content had been incorporated in the Foreign Service’s training curricula.

“The U.S. Department of State has put an end to the ideologically extreme and discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda, restoring merit, rigor, and accountability to the Foreign Service and refocusing training on practical diplomatic skills that serve the common interests of the American people,” a State Department official told The Epoch Times on Aug. 13.

Thursday’s announcement came after President Donald Trump issued a memorandum in March 2025 to remove the DEI policies instituted under the Biden administration.

The memorandum directed the State Department to revise the 2022–2025 “Decision Criteria for Tenure and Promotion in the Foreign Service” by removing references to “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.”

Immigrant groups want to protect Illegals from the Law

Lake Worth Beach urged to rethink PBSO contract extension over fears of immigration crackdown

It's all about ICE and allowing anyone to enter our country uninvited

Immigrant rights groups on Thursday gathered outside Lake Worth Beach City Hall to decry the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office 287(g) enforcement agreement with federal immigration authorities.

The groups are urging members of the Lake Worth Beach city commission to reject a proposed 10-year contract extension with the sheriff's office.

Their argument: “Lake Worth Beach has an opportunity to decide what kind of community it wants to be,” said Renata Bozzetto, Deputy Director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, (a group that wants all people to live and work without fear) “A 10-year law-enforcement agreement that expands collaboration with federal immigration authorities deserves far more scrutiny than a routine contract renewal."

"We have hundreds of families who are [being] separated, hundreds of kids who are left without a mom and a dad who are either in detention or deported at this moment," Bozzetto said. "It's hurting the community on a daily basis."

Lake Worth contracts with PBSO for 24/7 public safety services. PBSO provides everything from top command officers to school crossing guards, allowing the city not to have to fund its own police department.

The Lake Worth Beach city commission is expected to discuss the proposed extension with PBSO on Aug. 18.

The city will also supply a dedicated local district office for the assigned deputies. Annual cost could total nearly $16 million for the contract. Additional law enforcement services are billed at hourly rates of $142 for a deputy and $183 for a sergeant.

Chris Matthews warns 'regular Democrats' on the DSA

Chris Matthews tells fellow Democrats to distance themselves from socialist wing before election

Veteran political pundit Chris Matthews urged Democrats running for office to publicly reject the Democratic Socialists of America and its platform, warning that failure to draw that line will cost the party in the final stretch of the campaign.

Matthews, appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday, laid out what he called a straightforward political survival strategy: every Democrat on a ballot who is not a card-carrying member of the DSA needs to say so, loudly and clearly, before voters head to the polls. The DSA, he argued, has done the work for them by publishing exactly what it stands for, and now mainstream Democrats have no excuse for staying quiet.

His comments land at a moment when the DSA's electoral influence is no longer theoretical. Socialist-backed candidates have already unseated sitting House incumbents in primary races this cycle, and the organization's footprint inside the Democratic coalition keeps expanding, whether party leadership wants to acknowledge it or not.

Matthews did not hold back on the broadcast. He framed the DSA's public platform as a gift to every non-socialist Democrat willing to use it, telling the "Morning Joe" audience:

"The DSA has done a favor to non-DSA Democrats, to regular Democrats who are regular members of the party. They've listed what they believe in. Their chair made that clear."

When figures like Matthews and Maher, both longtime fixtures of the center-left media establishment, start warning their own side that the socialist label is politically toxic, the party has a problem that goes beyond messaging.

Stallone speaks out about AOC

CONSTITUTION X 🇺🇸 @ConstitustionX ·

🚨🚨 BREAKING: SYLVESTER STALLONE JUST OBLITERATED AOC IN THE MOST BRUTAL TAKEDOWN HOLLYWOOD HAS EVER SEEN 🚨🚨

The Rocky legend is DONE being polite.

Stallone revealed that the ten minutes he spent face-to-face with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt “like listening to a high school girl.”

His exact words:
“This woman has no clue.
Her talking points are childish.
Her worldview is jaded.
Somebody taught her a long time ago to hate her own country.”

He didn’t stop. He went for the throat:
“When we elect bartenders with theater degrees… we get AOC.
I don’t even think she knows what her job description is.”

One of the last real tough guys left in Hollywood just said out loud what MILLIONS have been screaming for years.

This is pure fire.

Let New York hear it from a man who actually built something with his own hands. The gloves are off. The legend has spoken.

The United States is striking back against the global network of scam centers with a two-pronged approach—dismantling the criminal infrastructure globally while proactively identifying victims to stop the harm.

Over the past 14 months, the FBI has seized $15.2 billion in illicit funds, made hundreds of arrests, taken down nine scam compounds, and notified more than 9,900 victims, 77 percent of whom were unaware they were targets.

The agents also shut down 8,000 terminals connecting the scammers to the rest of the world, “depriving them of the very oxygen they need to operate,” Patel said.

“We literally had folks from across the country writing back to the FBI saying, ‘You saved our life savings. You saved our kids’ college tuition.’ [Epoch Times]

President of Colombia Pro-Trumper

Colombia's conservative president takes office in Cali, citing Jefferson and vowing to restore order

Abelardo de la Espriella, a 48-year-old conservative lawyer who ran as a pro-Trump ally, was inaugurated as Colombia's president Friday in a historic ceremony held outside Bogotá for the first time in over 200 years, and his predecessor refused to show up.

De la Espriella took the oath of office at approximately 4:30 p.m. local time at the Arena USC amphitheater on the campus of the University of Cali, breaking with more than two centuries of tradition that placed every Colombian inauguration in the capital.

Senate leader Honorio Miguel Henríquez Pineda administered the oath, presented the presidential sash, and delivered a speech outlining the challenges the new administration inherits. De la Espriella then swore in José Manuel Restrepo as vice president.

The choice of Cali, the capital of the southwestern state of Valle del Cauca and one of the regions hardest hit by armed groups, was deliberate. De la Espriella told Colombian magazine Semana he picked the city as a "symbolic" gesture of his administration's promise to fight criminal and terrorist organizations.

The symbolism carried weight: earlier in the week, police intercepted a bus loaded with 420 kilograms of explosives near Cali, a plot allegedly led by a FARC commander.

Democrat Communist got a Hawaiian punch

Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate faces mounting felony charges after beach brawl caught on video

He lost in the Democratic primary on August 8, 2026

A Democratic congressional candidate in Hawaii now faces felony terroristic threatening charges after allegedly pulling a knife on a beachgoer during a confrontation caught on camera, the latest in a string of arrests that includes a gun incident and an assault on a hospital nurse.

Kirill Basin, 40, was arrested August 1 at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei, Maui, after an argument over loud music spiraled into a physical fight that left him knocked unconscious and ended with police hauling him away on two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening.

Fox News Digital reported that Basin shoved a beachgoer named Kama Homan, then swung a beach chair at him. Homan pushed the chair away and knocked Basin out cold.

But the confrontation did not end there. Prosecutors allege in an August 5 court filing that Basin, after regaining consciousness, reached into a small black bag and told Homan, "Do I have a gun? I'll kill you," before pulling out and brandishing a knife. He also allegedly told bystanders, "I'll put you in the ground."

Vance frames el Sayed's agenda as a direct hit on Michigan's auto industry

Vance targets Michigan Democrat el Sayed as a threat to auto workers and the middle class

Vice President JD Vance is sharpening his attacks on Michigan's new Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed, calling him unfit for office and warning that his economic agenda would punish the very workers he claims to champion.

Vance appeared on Fox News's Saturday in America and unloaded on el Sayed just days after the former public health official defeated centrist Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary.

The vice president framed the race as a clear test of whether Michigan voters want an economy built around industrial jobs or one organized around government redistribution to politically favored groups.

The clash matters beyond Michigan. The open Senate seat, left vacant by the retirement of Sen. Gary Peters, is rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report.

Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who lost to Democrat Elissa Slotkin by fewer than 20,000 votes in 2024, will face el Sayed in November. A pickup here could shift the balance of power in the Senate, and both parties know it.

NYC Democrat Socialist Rent Advisor is a deadbeat tenant

The daughter of a famed music studio owner is being sued for allegedly squatting in a New York City apartment for years

She has refused to pay rent to her Black landlord for four years...drove him into bankruptcy

Tracy Rosenthal, the 39-year-old daughter of Steve Rosenthal, has been on a 'rent strike' for the last four years after moving back to the city from Los Angeles.

Rosenthal claimed during a North Carolina Democratic Socialists meeting that her two-bedroom $2,300 apartment in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood was riddled with cockroaches, the New York Post reported.

Tracy Rosenthal has no official title in communist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office. Her informal title is “Rent Advisor,” which is interesting considering the fact that she’s a deadbeat who hails from a wealthy show business family and has not paid her rent in four years.

According to the Post, Rosenthal's landlord, Adetunji Akinboboye, lost at least $108,000 from her unit alone and he lost the building to foreclosure in 2023. 'We've been on rent strike ever since,' she championed.

Now it belongs to the Bank and now she faces legal action and eviction from the building. New owners, US Bank, who claim that she and at least two other tenants have 'squatted on the premises,' records filed in November claim, court documents viewed by the Daily Mail claim.

Steven Cheung next Press Secretary?

Karoline Leavitt’s Top Replacement Emerges After Sudden White House Exit

White House communications director Steven Cheung is emerging as one of the leading contenders to replace departing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Cheung, a longtime Trump adviser known for his combative defense of the president, already helped cover some of Leavitt’s responsibilities while she was on maternity leave.

Cheung Seen as Natural Fit--Cheung currently serves as White House communications director. Pundits have pointed to him as a natural candidate for the press secretary role. He already works closely with President Trump and the administration’s communications operation.

Cheung also helped handle some of Leavitt’s duties while she was away on maternity leave. White House press secretaries have traditionally been promoted from within the communications team.

After last Tuesday’s primary contest in Michigan, where Marxist/Islamist candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, there was much prognostication.

It was a race barely won, and if it had not been for a third candidate, who had since dropped out, El-Sayed would probably not have been successful. It was certainly not the supposed blowout that everyone had predicted for the Democratic Socialists (Marxists) of America-supported candidate.

However, the real story behind that race, which has been a consistent theme, is that Black Democratic voters do not want to be the “useful idiots” of these intellectual elite, privileged white Marxists/Islamists. Abdul El-Sayed tanked with Black voters in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary. The same can be said for Zohran Mamdani in New York City.

The exit polls are very telling: the main support for these Marxists emanates from college-educated, privileged, leftist elites who embrace their knowing better than you about your life, liberty, and freedom. [Col Allen West]
