Opponents Seek to Block Start of Work on Trump Arch

The Trump administration plans to break ground within two weeks on a 250-foot arch just beyond the gates of Arlington National Cemetery.

Critics say (and there are always critics about everything when it comes to Trump), it would disrupt historic sightlines intended to symbolize the nation’s reconciliation after the Civil War.

Three Vietnam veterans who have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the project asked a judge to block the administration from breaking ground while their case proceeds.

In a U.S. District Court filing on Friday seeking a temporary restraining order, lawyers for the plaintiffs said the administration has "no legal basis for the construction work." They said ⁠the arch violates federal law and needs approval from Congress. [PBS]

Iran's Pickaxe Mountain

Trump Says US Could Strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain Soon

President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States may strike Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain facility “very soon.”

He also said new oil pipelines could eventually reduce the importance of the Strait of Hormuz.

Pickaxe Mountain, located near Iran’s heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is a heavily fortified site containing two deeply buried tunnel complexes, according to Reuters.

Trump said the United States has extensive intelligence about activity around the site, crediting U.S. space technology and the U.S. Space Force.

“We’re leading in space. We know everybody that’s moving at Pickaxe, we know everybody that’s moving everywhere, all over Iran, and if anything goes bad, we hit them. We hit them hard,” Trump told reporters.

The "bad ass warrior" admits it all

Hunter Biden spills the beans

Picture an ordinary American – a veteran, a plumber, a retired teacher – hopping on a podcast and casually admitting that a foreign company wired them tens of thousands of dollars every month, and they blew it on illegal drugs.

Now picture them having absolutely no qualifications for the gig producing that income. Oh, and their parent? The sitting Vice President of the United States, personally steering American policy toward the exact country cutting those checks. That person would be in handcuffs before the episode hit its first ad break.

But we’re not talking about an ordinary American. We’re talking about the Biden family – a political dynasty that has perfected the art of sidestepping consequences, memory-holing evidence, and counting on a press corps that treats their scandals like furniture nobody mentions. Now the truth isn’t coming from investigators or whistleblowers. It’s coming from Hunter Biden himself, apparently feeling chatty.

From The Post Millennial:

Hunter Biden admitted in a new interview that his lucrative board appointment at Burisma as well as other roles helped him to fuel his crack cocaine addition. Biden sat on the board of the Ukrainian energy giant Burisma earning $80,000 per month for his services.

Hunter Biden has now confirmed – publicly, voluntarily, on the record – what congressional investigators spent years trying to prove: Burisma cash flowed directly into sustaining his drug habit while his father wielded enormous influence over U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Joe Biden subsequently issued a sweeping presidential pardon shielding Hunter from federal prosecution.

Trump to fly to Ireland on Qatari gift plane

Trump to use $400M Qatari gift plane for international trips despite security concerns

The decision comes after Trump said in July that the plane would be taken out of service and ‘maxed out’ with additional security upgrades

President Donald Trump plans to fly to Ireland next week on the Boeing 747 donated by Qatar, despite concerns over its security and unfinished upgrades, a senior White House official told The Independent.

The trip, set for September 12 and 13, will mark Trump’s first international journey on the Qatari jet since U.S. officials secretly moved him to another plane while departing July’s NATO summit in Turkey after intelligence indicated a potential Iranian threat.

“We don’t comment on specific upgrades or modifications to Air Force One,” a senior administration official told The Independent. “We maintain a consistent posture that ensures a safe, secure, and reliable capability for the President of the United States and routinely evolve the capability as required to maintain that posture.”

The jet has undergone hundreds of millions of dollars in modifications, including upgrades to its security and communications systems. But security experts raised questions to The New York Times over whether it has all the advanced defensive capabilities of the older presidential aircraft, which are equipped to protect the president from threats including missiles.

The "endless" Iranian Conflict

Vance: Iran Fight Is Not a 'War'

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday rejected the use of the word "war" to describe the U.S. fighting with Iran and declined to predict whether the six-month-old conflict would be over by November's midterm elections, in which Republicans are trying to hold on to their narrow majorities in Congress.

"I wouldn't call it a war," Vance said after being asked during a White House press briefing about whether the fighting could be wrapped up before voters cast their ballots in the Nov. 3 congressional elections. "Right now, there is no active shooting."

Vance's comments came as Iran fired at U.S. Gulf ally Kuwait on Thursday as it continued to retaliate for rounds of U.S. strikes on Iran earlier in the week.

The vice president said the U.S. had a "responsibility" to carry out this week's strikes because Iran continues the targeting of commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Vance's description of the fighting comes as President Donald Trump and his administration face questions about the conflict's duration and its political and economic effects ahead of the midterm elections.

The administration maintains it is making progress in applying economic pressure on Iranian hardliners, including the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Mail-In Ballots -- CNN's Wolf Blitzer screwed up

Wolf Blitzer Had to Walk It Back on Air After He Got Caught Lying About Troops and Mail Ballots

Wolf Blitzer just got caught lying about American troops on live television.

He told a Democrat governor that Trump's mail ballot order would harm military voters overseas.

Now Wolf Blitzer’s issuing on-air corrections, which means millions heard the lie before anyone heard the truth. What Blitzer Actually Said...

Last Friday, Blitzer sat down with Virginia Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger to hammer Trump's executive order cracking down on mail-in voting. The executive order – signed March 31, 2026 – directed the U.S. Postal Service to create a new system regulating who could vote by mail, requiring states to presubmit lists of eligible mail voters.

Blitzer handed Spanberger her talking point on a silver platter. "In Virginia, you have a lot of military personnel who totally rely on mail-in ballots if they want to be able to express their opinions," he told her.

Spanberger ran with it. She said it was members of the military, diplomatic service, and intelligence services – "people serving overseas in service to our country" – whose ballots would be threatened.

There was just one problem...It wasn't true. It was a big fat ignorant lie.

Read about the lie...

The Law that Blitzer Forgot Existed--The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act – UOCAVA – has protected military and overseas voter ballots since 1986.

Ed Martin presents Donald Trump’s pardon power as an instrument of restoration, exercised openly for Americans who completed their punishment and rebuilt their lives.

He credits the First Step Act with opening early-release pathways for nearly 70,000 prisoners and describes meeting more than 1,000 clemency applicants as U.S. Pardon Attorney. Most arrived without elite Washington counsel, carrying family members, personal histories, and hope that Trump would judge rehabilitation on the merits.

Martin’s argument reaches beyond statistics. Punishment has an endpoint, redemption deserves recognition, and presidential clemency can restore citizenship, dignity, constitutional rights, and productive Americans to the national community again.

Markwayne arrests more than 2100 criminals across New York

DHS Secretary Mullin rips New York leaders after Operation Rotten Apple nets over 2,100 arrests

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced more than 2,100 arrests of convicted criminals across New York State in a single month, and laid the blame for their presence squarely on the governor and mayor who refused to cooperate.

Mullin held a press conference at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in New York City on September 1, 2026, unveiling the results of a federal enforcement sweep called Operation Rotten Apple. The operation ran for 33 days, from July 27 through August 29, and ICE agents arrested 2,197 illegal immigrants statewide, without help from city or state law enforcement.

The secretary did not explain why the federal government had to act alone. He named New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul directly, accusing both of shielding violent offenders from federal immigration enforcement through sanctuary policies and deliberate obstruction.

Mullin calls out Mamdani's $22 million NYPD budget cut--"Operation Rotten Apple was initiated because New York City has a liberal, socialist mayor who, instead of working with law enforcement, tried to cut NYPD's budget by $22 million and refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement.

Nut Job breached security at JD Vance's home

Ohio man pleads guilty to smashing windows at JD Vance's Cincinnati home with a hammer

William D. DeFoor, 26, pleaded guilty in federal court to vandalizing Vice President JD Vance's Cincinnati residence, an attack that destroyed historic windows and caused more than $28,000 in damage to government security equipment.

The attack damaged components of an enhanced security system the U.S. government had installed on each window of the property. That equipment alone was valued at more than $28,000. DeFoor also broke 14 historic window panes across the front of the home, AP News reported during earlier proceedings. The full cost of the destruction has not been publicly disclosed beyond the security equipment figure.

DeFoor entered his guilty plea Tuesday in the Southern District of Ohio, admitting to two federal offenses: acts of physical violence against government officials or property, and willful injury or depredation of U.S. government property. The charges stem from a January 5 incident in which DeFoor, armed with a hammer, breached the property line of Vance's home and went on a destructive rampage while the vice president and his family were in Washington, D.C.

Secret Service agents stationed at the residence first spotted DeFoor near the front fence around midnight. He moved past the driveway entrance and targeted an unmarked federal law enforcement vehicle blocking the drive, Fox News Digital reported. DeFoor struck the vehicle's driver's side window three times with the hammer, then turned on the home itself, smashing large, historic glass windows across the front of the residence.

Agents ordered DeFoor to stop and drop the weapon. He ignored every command. He then tried to flee on foot before Secret Service agents and Cincinnati police officers caught and detained him.

Florida's De-Flocking

Florida Department of Transportation announces removal of Flock cameras on state highways

The directive to remove Flock cameras and other license plate readers comes as citizens and public officials voice concerns about how the data would be used and regulated. Proponents of the technology, however, point to their capacity to increase public safety.

The Florida Department of Transportation issued a memo Aug. 31 revoking all previously issued permits for license plate readers (LPRs) — which includes the controversial Flock cameras — by state roads, giving a 30-day deadline for all of the cameras to be removed.

Department Chief Operating Officer Will Watts penned the memo to local law enforcement agencies explaining that those with the permits for the cameras must remove the cameras within the given period and that any remaining cameras will be removed by the department. He noted that the department retains the right to immediately remove any LPR that poses an immediate safety concern.

“While Florida law limits the issuance of permits for LPR systems to law enforcement agencies, the recent exponential increase in deployments along our roadways, coupled with concerning reports of misuse, data privacy concerns, and surveillance schemes merit immediate action to preserve Floridians’ sovereignty and quality of life,” Watts wrote.

“Flock’s technology is an important public safety tool for law enforcement agencies across Florida, helping officers solve serious crimes, find missing people, recover stolen vehicles, and support safer communities,” the company said. “In just the last few weeks in Florida, the technology was used to find missing children, led to the arrest of a murder suspect and assisted in solving numerous other crimes.”

Declassified FBI records show suspected Chinese spy used nonprofit to infiltrate U.S. political offices

Newly declassified FBI files reveal that a suspected Chinese intelligence operative used an Asian American civic nonprofit to build relationships with U.S. politicians, place interns in congressional offices, and funnel illegal campaign donations, and one California Democrat admitted to a sexual relationship with her.

Fang "Christine" Fang arrived in the United States around 2011 on a student visa, after attending Beijing's University of International Relations, a school Chinese media reports have linked to China's Ministry of State Security.

Within a few years, she had embedded herself in the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs organization, known as APAPA, a nonprofit that says its mission is to advance Asian and Pacific Islander communities "through increased leadership and civic engagement." The FBI came to suspect Fang was using that mission as cover for something far less civic-minded.

The bureau opened a predicated investigation codenamed "Freshman Fifteen" on March 17, 2014, targeting both Fang and then-Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., for potential campaign finance violations and quid pro quo exchanges involving internships, Just The News reported.

The declassified memos were released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force as part of a broader effort to expose foreign threats to U.S. political systems.

RNC asking SCOTUS to uphold Arizona law

RNC takes Arizona election integrity battle to Supreme Court

A 22-year-old state law requires proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. The GOP wants the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the law in the face of challenges from the Democratic Party.

Republicans are taking a major election integrity fight to the nation’s highest court as November’s midterm elections loom. Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters revealed in an Aug. 31 Breitbart News op-ed that the RNC is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold an Arizona law requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

“At stake is a principle so basic that most Americans would be shocked it is even being debated: Can states verify citizenship before someone is added to their voter rolls?” Gruters wrote.

“The answer should be obvious,” he continued. “Citizenship is required to vote in federal elections. States should be allowed to check it.”
