The dramatic family story Maryland Gov. Wes Moore often tells on the campaign trail has helped power his rise as a national Democratic figure. But according to reporting by Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon, the tale does not hold up against historical records.
Moore, widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, frequently recounts how his grandfather fled South Carolina as a child in the 1920s after the Ku Klux Klan targeted the family. Moore says his great-grandfather, a Black minister, enraged the Klan with sermons condemning racism, forcing the family to escape Charleston in the dead of night to avoid a lynching before resettling in Jamaica.
It is a gripping narrative Moore has repeated for years, including during his successful 2022 run for governor. He first told the story in a 2014 memoir and has since framed it as a defining example of American injustice and perseverance.
Students on the left have actually gotten worse since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Ohio U. TPUSA students face gun threat, harassment during tabling event
Ohio University’s Turning Point USA chapter experienced threats and harassment on Monday, both online and on campus, during a tabling event.
“We set up a table outside of the Baker Student Center on campus and had the intention of having a successful activism event,” a chapter member said, according to TPUSA HQ.
“We had numerous hostile encounters, including people yelling at us from cars, mocking Charlie getting shot in the neck while walking by, people stating that ‘Charlie had it coming,’ etc.,” the student said.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that there have been a horrifying 182 vehicular assaults on federal immigration officers since Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2025.
The DOJ and multiple states have filed notices to appeal a federal court ruling in the Google Search antitrust case that imposed limited restrictions on the internet giant’s conquest of the search and AI market. The verdict was so friendly to Google that one analyst called it “a home run for the status quo.”
Bloomberg reports that the DOJ and a coalition of states announced Tuesday they will appeal a September 2025 federal court decision that is widely considered to be the best case scenario for Big Tech following a landmark antitrust case. The appeal targets a ruling by US District Judge Amit Mehta that allowed the tech giant to avoid major structural changes despite being found guilty of operating an illegal monopoly in the search market.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has admitted that he was aware that his mentor and former Ambassador to the United States, Lord Mandelson, had a relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but claimed that he was misled over the extent of the ties.
Taking to the dispatch box on Wednesday afternoon as he fights for his political life, Prime Minister Starmer attempted to shift blame for the disastrous decision to appoint veteran former Tony Blair spin doctor Lord Peter ‘Prince of Darkness’ Mandelson as his ambassador to Washington.
A bombshell undercover recording has exposed what critics are calling a deliberate federal cover-up of massive Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota, with an FBI agent admitting that no one will ever be arrested despite billions in taxpayer dollars being looted.
On Tuesday, the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) released undercover footage showing FBI agent Justin Devine telling a covert reporter that investigations into Somali-run daycare fraud schemes in Minnesota will quietly die without charges.
“I don’t think anybody [daycare fraud criminals] would ever go to prison,” Devine said, referring directly to investigative reporting by independent journalist Nick Shirley, whose work has exposed widespread fraud across Minneapolis.
I’ve got bad news for conservative readers: The Democrats have every meaningful advantage for the 2026 midterms. According to the betting markets, there’s nearly an 80% probability the Dems will win control of the House of Representatives.
And honestly? That number is too low. (I’m guessing there’s a percentage of conservative gamblers who’re betting with their hearts, not their heads.)
It’ll probably hit the mid-90s by Sept.
Which means, the GOP would be wise to expedite its legislation ASAP and then pull up the ladder well before the end of the term, because once the Dems control the House, the gig is up. That’s the end of President Donald Trump’s legislative legacy.
And his final two years as president will be spent dodging subpoenas, battling with congressional committees, and being impeached (probably more than once). Get ready for two long years of government shutdowns and grandstanding gridlock.
The Dems aren’t even being coy about what they’re planning. This NBC News story ran yesterday evening:
Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats now say Republicans have established a precedent when it co
Prince Andrew’s fall from royalty continues.
Prince Andrew, now referred to as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after his royal title was revoked, is leaving his royal residence after new details from the latest Epstein Files revealed he had a closer relationship with Epstein than he has led the public to believe.
One of the most disturbing release in the drop were photos of Andrew hunched over a woman lying on the floor.
Take a look at the photos here:
Prince Andrew’s Fresh Pics Are Absolutely Damning
Prince Andrew crouched over a woman on the floor, big grin, zero shame.
These fresh Epstein file photos just surfaced and they’re brutal.
How are you going to spin your way out of this one now, Andrew?

Border czar Tom Homan has announced that the Trump administration will immediately reduce the number of federal immigration agents in Minnesota by roughly 26%, citing “unprecedented cooperation” from local officials.
Homan held a press conference in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning to provide an update on Operation Metro Surge, which has been met with unrest from some community members, leading to numerous anti-immigration enforcement protests.
A Portland mother is going viral on social media after she admitted she would rather commit a murder-suicide with her and her kids than have them taken into custody by ICE.
According to Taviquinn, “If it comes down to me taking out myself and my kids versus us being taken and harmed by ICE, death would be easier out.”
According to Right Angle News Network, CPS has been notified of the situation.
There are so many disturbing things about this video.
Firstly, we can almost be certain that she and her kids are American citizens. This means she truly believes ICE is targeting random Americans and “kidnapping” them off the street. She’s not only naive, but she’s delusional enough to believe those lies.
Las Vegas Police and the FBI raided a illegal Chinese biological lab running out of a Las Vegas home on January 31, collecting more than 1,000 samples. Several people allegedly became sick after being exposed to the laboratory in the home’s garage, 8 News Now reported.
“Initial search of the residence on Sugar Springs identified a bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids,” said Christopher Delzotto, FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Las Vegas office.
On Monday, the samples were reportedly loaded onto an FBI aircraft to be transported to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland for testing.
When the left gets called out for their nonsense, they always seem to resort to the same insult: racism. It does not matter who is asking the question or the fact that it has nothing to do with race; if they can’t answer it, they have no choice but to resort to insults. This is why Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott accused a reporter of being racist after he questioned why his taxpayer-funded SUV cost $163,495.
You don’t need to be a car enthusiast to know that the average cost of an SUV is nowhere near that price. This is why it’s more than sensible to ask why so much funds were spent on a car.
According to Fox 5:
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott’s taxpayer-funded SUV is the most expensive executive vehicle in Maryland, outpacing every other top elected leader by tens of thousands of dollars, according to records obtained by Spotlight on Maryland.
The Democrats keep doubling down on their inflammatory anti-ICE rhetoric, repeatedly calling the men and women tasked with enforcing our duly-enacted laws the Gestapo and Nazis. They do this to gin up anger among their base, which leads to the insanity we see in Minneapolis.
Police raided a house in northeast Las Vegas on Saturday managed by Ori Solomon, an Israeli national currently in the U.S. on an E-2 visa, and owned by Jia Bei Zhu, the criminally charged Chinese national linked to a secret biolab discovered in Reedley, California, in late 2022.
Inside Zhu’s Vegas property on Sugar Springs Drive, law enforcement agents found a “possible biological laboratory” complete with a “bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids,” according to Christopher Delzotto, FBI special agent in charge at the bureau’s Las Vegas office.
Today, the Nebraska Legislature failed to advance LB 669 by two votes after pro-choice senators filibustered the bill and blocked common-sense protections for women facing trafficking and forced abortions.
LB 669, introduced by Senator Tanya Storer and prioritized by Senator Dan Lonowski, sought to strengthen Nebraska’s informed consent laws by requiring abortion providers to screen for coercion, domestic violence, and human trafficking before performing an abortion. The legislation also ensured women were informed of available resources, provided access to national hotlines, and given an opportunity to make a confidential phone call, if they choose.
Fulton County officials filed a motion in a Georgia court to reclaim election records seized by federal agents in January at a Georgia election office.
The motion filed by county officials under seal in a federal court in Georgia on Wednesday seeks the return of the election records taken by agents at a warehouse in Fulton County, according to The Washington Post.

The Washington Post announced on Wednesday that it is laying off hundreds of its employees, which marks one of the newspaper’s deepest workforce cuts in its history.
This development is part of a broader trend as legacy media outlets are rapidly losing viewers and readers.
From CNN:
Executive Editor Matt Murray and human resources chief Wayne Connell sent an email to staffers Wednesday morning instructing employees to “stay home today” but attend an 8:30 a.m. ET meeting via Zoom during which the Washington Post’s leadership will announce “significant actions across the company.”
Those actions include shutting down almost the entire Sports section, closing the Books section and cancelling the daily Post Reports podcast, sources at the newspaper said.
One of the most severe cuts comes in the form of a “restructuring” of the Post’s Metro desk, which covers D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will celebrate one year of the Make America Healthy Again movement in a speech on Monday.
The event, hosted by The Heritage Foundation and MAHA Action, “will highlight key actions taken during his first year, reflect on lessons learned in rebuilding public trust, and look ahead to remaining priorities.”
Kennedy and Heritage President Kevin Roberts will have a conversation followed by a “panel of leaders engaged in restoring American wellness across policy, legal action, and coalition building.”
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the opposition to programs that recognize bright, eager-to-learn kids and place them in special classes where they can excel and achieve great things.
Yes, the opposition is based on the fact that more white and Asian kids qualify for the special instruction than black kids, but instead of penalizing the “special” kids, why not work harder to uplift the black kids? It appears to me that no one in school districts that cite “white privilege” for why fewer black kids end up in these accelerated classes ever comes up with ideas to raise black kids up instead of holding other kids back.
Probably too much work.
New York’s Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.
(The Washington Stand) — In progressive America, the Democratic Party’s litmus test for public service is transgender ideology. And not just casual support, nor a general affirmation of “LGBTQ+ rights.” Those who wish to participate in the system must embrace every last jot and tittle of the transgender agenda, specifically.
For those who prefer to side with the truth, even members of other favored minority groups had better look out, lest the door hit them on the way out.
The latest casualty to this ideological intolerance is Glenna Goldis, a lawyer in the New York attorney general’s office, who was fired in late January for telling the truth about the lack of evidence for carrying out gender transition procedures on minors.
The Canadian government-run euthanasia system has crossed another chilling threshold after Canada’s socialized healthcare system euthanized a disabled man because he was experiencing “loneliness.”
A disabled man in his 60s was put to death under Canada’s expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime after citing loneliness and social isolation as the primary reasons for wanting to die.
The alarming case was revealed in a 2025 report from Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (OMDRC).
The man, identified only as Mr. B, lived with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.
Car ownership used to come with an unspoken assumption: You bought the vehicle, and it was yours to maintain, repair, and service in any way you saw fit. That assumption is quietly eroding. And one of the clearest signs doesn’t involve software updates or subscription features.
It involves a screw.
Tasks once considered routine — such as clearing fault codes or accessing safety systems — now often require dealer-level credentials or paid subscriptions.
America, glimpse your future. If we continue down the path of islamization as the UK and Europe, this is the inevitability. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani … this is next. Nothing is static, everything is fluid. It’s advances and this direction leads only one way – to hell.
In Birmingham, a convicted terrorist with a documented history of jihadist violence, criminality, and incendiary Islamist rhetoric is now standing for local office, presenting himself as a “unifier.” Shahid Butt, jailed for his role in an armed terror plot and openly advocating violence, religious segregation, and confrontation with “disbelievers,” is being normalized as a legitimate political actor. This is what a fading civilization looks like: one afraid to name its enemies, willing to rebrand extremism as activism, and mistaking intimidation for representation. Nothing is static; everything moves. And when societies refuse to draw lines, the direction of travel is unmistakable—and downward.
Protests over two immigration enforcement-involved shootings have highlighted the agitators organizing against federal agents on the ground in Minnesota, and the organization Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Accíon Latina, or COPAL Education Fund, is a major player.
COPAL describes itself as a group that works “to improve the quality of life of Latine families.” It also hosts a hotline for people to call when spotting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at work. The group also set up the Immigrant Defense Network, which trains “legal observers” to watch and report ICE.
President Donald Trump is hoping to use RNC power to rally for a GOP midterm win by creating a National Midterm Convention event. Bylaws have recently been changed to allow for this event to happen. The target for the event is late summer to early fall of this year. So far, Las Vegas and Dallas have been mentioned as possibilities.
Trump, RNC Plan Unprecedented ‘Midterm Convention’ Ahead Of Crucial Elections – trendingpoliticsnews.com
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has approved plans for a historic “midterm convention” ahead of this year’s congressional elections. The rule change comes as President Donald Trump has vowed to be actively involved on the campaign trail, especially in swing districts and tight congressional races.
RNC members approved the rule change during the committee’s winter meeting in California. The RNC unanimously amended its bylaws, specifically Rule 13, to allow Chairman Joe Gruters to convene a “special ceremonial convention” outside of presidential election cycles.
Previously, party rules limited conventions to every four years for nominating presidential candidates. The new provision requires at least 60 days’ notice for the event, which is expected to largely mirror presidential conventions with a focus on rallies, speeches and addresses from candidates, as well as senior GOP leaders and President Trump.
An Obama-appointed Judge has thrown out the Department of Justice’s misconduct complaint against U.S. District Justice James Boasberg, the symbol of Progmerican judicial insurrection in the American republic. The justice was accused of trying to inappropriately influence Chief Justice John Roberts, telling him before Trump retook off in 2025 that he would “disregard rulings of federal courts” to “trigger a constitutional crisis.”
Chief Judge of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Jeffrey S. Sutton declared in his ruling, “A recycling of unadorned allegations with no reference to a source does not corroborate them. And a repetition of uncorroborated statements rarely supplies a basis for a valid misconduct complaint.”
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Tosses DOJ Misconduct Complaint Against Judge Boasberg – townhall.com
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has tossed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, after he “attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts” at a March Judicial Conference in 2025, by claiming that the Trump administration was seeking to “disregard rulings of federal courts,” and trigger “a constitutional crisis.”
The complaint also cites Boasberg’s 2025 ruling that blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador’s CECOT prison under the Alien Enemies Act and sought to remove him from J.G.G. v. Trump, an ACLU-backed lawsuit challenging the mass deportations.
Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit, Jeffrey S. Sutton, originally dismissed the complaint on December 19, though this was only made public this week. He alleged that not only had the federal government failed to provide sufficient evidence of Boasberg’s comments, but that they were completely within bounds for the Judicial Conference of the United States.
Apparently, the season for persecuting Christians worldwide has never been fuller than it is now. According to Open Doors USA, the amount of documented acts of violence against Christians for their beliefs has been steadily increasing. This year, it hit 388 million, surpassing last year’s number by more than 8 million. Last year was a record high, so this year is as well.
Ryan Brown, chief executive officer of Open Doors US stated, “We continue to see a multi-year pattern where persecution is expanding.” Some of the major hotspots of expansion include Nigeria, Somalia, India, Yemen, and China. Perhaps America may soon need to be added to this list.
Christian Persecution Hits Record Highs Worldwide: 388 Million Affected – standingforfreedom.com
Open Doors USA, a nonprofit watchdog group on Christian persecution, released its annual World Watch List this month, reporting that discrimination and violence against Christians reached record levels worldwide for the period ending September 30, 2025.
World Watch 2026 ranks the top 50 countries where believers face the most severe persecution and found that about 388 million Christians, or approximately 1 in 7 globally, are experiencing high levels of intimidation and violence because of their faith, an increase of more than 8 million from the previous year.
“We continue to see a multi-year pattern where persecution is expanding,” said Ryan Brown, chief executive officer of Open Doors US, in a statement to the Christian Post. He noted that this rise shows both a growing number of affected Christians and an increase in extreme violence in certain regions.
In a bid to make Muslims feel comfortable in a predominantly Christian country, the United Kingdom’s government is seeking to protect them from a “Walk with Jesus” walk, telling the organization they’re not banning the event, they’re just not allowing it their city, London.
The Metropolitan Police of London stated, “We have encouraged UKIP to consider the very real likelihood that their presence in Whitechapel could lead to serious disruption or serious disorder and to consider an alternative proposal. We are not saying that the UKIP protest, in isolation, will be disorderly. But we do know that many will find it provocative and that provocation is likely to lead to an adverse local reaction. We reasonably believe, based on the information available and on previous similar incidents, that the coming together of the UKIP protest with opposing groups who are hostile to its presence would be highly likely to lead to violence and serious disorder.”
The government is also doing a study on how to reduce whiteness in rural Britain to appeal to more non-whites coming in to visit and to move in and make the land their own. It seems the pet dog is the symbol of that colonizing white spirit, and as such the UK is looking into ways to curb dog ownership and public dog possession so that the incoming Muslims don’t feel colonized by the white devil.
London authorities ban ‘Walk with Jesus’ march in Muslim-majority neighborhood – theblaze.com
The Metropolitan Police banned a “Walk with Jesus” event from taking place in a London borough, citing concerns it would provoke the members of the community….
The Metropolitan Police revealed on January 23 that it was imposing conditions on the march “to prevent disorder.” Those conditions included a ban on anyone taking part in the event “in the London borough of Tower Hamlets,” which encompasses Whitechapel.
“They have been imposed to prevent serious disorder and serious disruption. Breaching the conditions, or encouraging others to do so, is an arrestable offence,” the Metropolitan Police stated.
UK Government To Go After Dogs In Fight To Up Diversity: “A Lot Muslims Don’t Have Dogs As Pets” – louderwithcrowder.com
According to the European Conservative:
The Labour government has drawn up plans to make Britain’s countryside “less white,” after government-commissioned reports claimed rural England could become “irrelevant” in an increasingly multicultural society.
Internal documents describe rural England as a “white environment” dominated by the “white middle class”, and argue that urgent action is needed to attract more ethnic minority visitors.
This is where the attacks on the dogs come in.
Other recommendations focus on everyday rural life. One suggests dogs should be kept under stricter control, citing fears of these animals among some communities. Another claims that while “white English” visitors value solitude and quiet contemplation, ethnic minority visitors tend to prefer social or group activities.
According to China’s own numbers, the country’s birth rate hit 5.63 births per 1,000 people, a rate not seen since 1949. On the opposite side of the scale, China’s death rate hit 8.04 per people, which is up from 2024’s 7.76 deaths per 1000.
The death rate in 2025 exceeds the WORTS death rates during the pandemic years, with 2024 ALSO exceeding those numbers. One major factor pushing the death rate up is simply China’s aging population. Over 23% of Chinese citizens are over the age of 60. Remember, these are China’s own reported numbers. There is growing skepticism about the population size of China, as well as to the extent of the unexplained deaths that have been happening in China (none which can be fully substantiated).
China is facing a deepening demographic crisis as birth rates collapse and deaths continue to climb, pushing the country into its fourth straight year of population decline.
Just 7.9 million babies were born in China in 2025, the lowest number recorded in more than 70 years.
The figure represents a 17 percent drop from the previous year, when births totaled 9.5 million.
According to data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics, the country’s birth rate fell to 5.63 births per 1,000 people in 2025.
The rate is the lowest level since 1949, the year the Chinese Communist Party seized power.
According to the Democrats’ standards, “Democracy” is America’s central value. As such, news that Americans OVERWHELMINGLY support deporting illegal aliens (61 to 34 percent according to a Cygnal poll) is sure to cause the Democrats to stop calling for ICE agents to be terrorized by their insurgent army.
New Poll Vindicates Trump, Shows Huge Majority Backing Mass Deportations – trendingpoliticsnews.com
A new national survey is dealing a major blow to the Democratic Party’s immigration messaging and reinforcing President Donald Trump’s long-held position on border enforcement and deportations.
The poll, released by Cygnal, finds overwhelming public support for enforcing immigration law, deporting those in the country illegally, and allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to do its job. The results directly contradict years of media and Democratic claims that deportation is unpopular or extreme.
According to the survey, nearly three-quarters of voters, 73 percent, say entering the United States without legal permission is breaking the law. By a two-to-one margin, 61 percent to 34 percent, voters support deporting those who are in the country illegally. A majority, 54 percent, want ICE actively enforcing federal immigration laws and removing illegal immigrants, while 58 percent oppose defunding ICE.
Those numbers cut across party lines, with Independents and swing voters siding far closer to Republicans than Democrats on nearly every question related to immigration enforcement. The political consequences for Democrats become even more severe when voters are told the party supports defunding ICE or shutting down the federal government to stop deportations.
Cygnal’s polling shows the generic congressional ballot flips dramatically under those scenarios. Democrats’ four-point advantage disappears entirely when voters learn Democrats oppose ICE enforcement. If Democrats push for a government shutdown to defund ICE, Republicans gain a two-point lead nationally, representing a six-point swing away from Democrats. Among swing voters, the shift is a staggering 16 points toward Republicans.
New York City, New York, United States of America – October 22 2025: Anti-ICE protest in New York City after Canal Street ICE Deportation Raid
The survey also shows how isolated Democrats are on the broader issue of illegal immigration. Sixty-four percent of likely midterm voters say illegal immigration is a serious problem in the United States, including 71 percent of swing voters. Nearly all Republicans agree, along with a solid majority of Independents. Democrats are the only group where most respondents claim illegal immigration is not a problem.
“Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order,” said Brent Buchanan, Cygnal’s CEO and founder. “The data leaves no wiggle room. Americans want the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing its job.”
Reports this week indicate a sharp escalation in immigration enforcement across the United States as the Trump administration continues to push forward with large-scale deportation operations. Federal authorities have expanded ICE activity beyond traditional border areas, triggering high-profile arrests, accelerated removals, and the rapid transfer of detainees to newly expanded holding facilities.
The enforcement surge has sparked widespread protests in major cities including New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles, where demonstrators accuse the administration of conducting mass deportations and overreaching federal authority.
For Republicans and President Trump, the findings validate a core issue that has defined his political brand since 2016. Rather than costing the GOP politically, strong support for deportations and ICE enforcement appears to be a net winner, especially with Independents and voters who decide close elections.
