1 day ago | townhall.com | Rebecca Downs

With a Wednesday vote, the United States showed how it still appears to be one of the only countries at the United Nations willing to stand by Israel. Thanks to a veto from the United States, the Security Council did not adopt a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, especially since it did not even condemn Hamas. The resolution still received 14 votes in favor.

The problem with the courts is the same as the problem with many of our other institutions. Called the Skinsuit Phenomenon, after the great @Iowahawk’s famous tweet that perfectly sums up the leftist approach to marching through our society: “1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skinsuit, while demanding respect.

President Donald Trump and his administration have been consistently going after Harvard University and other once fine institutions that have been taken over by rampant antisemitism and foreign influence, including from China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). On Wednesday night, Trump signed a White House proclamation, "ENHANCING NATIONAL SECURITY BY ADDRESSING RISKS AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY." Trump begins by reminding how much of a failure Harvard is.

A major mark against the Biden-Harris administration and the FBI at the time led by then Director Christopher Wray involved blatant anti-Catholic bias. During the previous administration, a document known as the Richmond Memo was circulated from that field office to other offices and employees, with a whistleblower sounding the alarm and raising awareness in 2023. Wray and then Attorney General Merrick Garland were hauled before Congress to testify.

Earlier on Wednesday, as Jeff reported, yet another U.S. district judge ruled against the Trump administration on deporting dangerous people in the country. This time it was to do with the deportation of the family of suspected terrorist Mohamed Soliman.

1 day ago | townhall.com | Rebecca Downs

Well, it happened again. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, issued another ruling on immigration. In J.G.G. v. Trump, Boasberg ruled that suspected Tren de Aragua gang members from El Salvador who were removed under the Alien and Enemies Act must be able to challenge their deportations.
'Original Sin': It's Worse Than the Authors Know

1 day ago | townhall.com | Ann Coulter

The new Joe Biden book, "Original Sin," detailing the Democrats' conspiracy to deceive Americans about the carcass of a man sitting in the Oval Office, brought back warm memories. I really enjoyed that debate. So I'm ranking Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper's book as a must-read for any Republican. But the key takeaways from the book weren't sufficiently highlighted by the authors. The three main lessons from "Original Sin" are:1. Democrats are monumental liars. 2. They're still lying. 3.
Does Arrest of Suspected Terrorist Boulder Attack Mean Trump Can Go Harder on Immigration?

1 day ago | townhall.com | Rebecca Downs

However Trump may be doing in the polls for his second term, immigration has been his best issue or at least up there. This was consistently the case for the 2024 election, whether he was running against now former President Joe Biden or now former Vice President Kamala Harris. In fact, Trump may even be able to go harder on this top issue, as Cygnal's Brent Buchanan offered. Monday's daily takes from Buchanan focused first and foremost on the terrorist attack.

Over the weekend, as those in Gaza arrived to collect aid, the BBC was among those outlets sharing libelous claims that the IDF shot and killed those seeking such aid. Among those cited included the Red Cross, which has been negligent in helping the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023; the United Nations, which has been particularly harsh on Israel; and the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas.
