WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump says the United States has not yet decided whether Ukraine will receive permission to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors, signaling a more cautious approach to sharing America's most advanced defense technology. In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said he remains "not sure" about granting Kyiv a production license, stressing that Patriot technology is among the world's most sophisticated air-defense systems. "It's a

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A major battle over the Second Amendment is intensifying as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul moves to expand state gun restrictions following the Trump administration's sweeping rollback of numerous Biden-era federal firearm regulations. The clash comes after newly confirmed ATF Director Robert Cekada signed what the Department of Justice described as a "landmark rulemaking package" on April 29, 2026, revising or repealing dozens of firearm regulations following

Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senate primary erupted into one of the most contentious battles of the 2026 election cycle after Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) accused fellow Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed of attempting to blame "Jewish Americans" for his political setbacks. The confrontation followed comments by El-Sayed criticizing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and accusing the influential pro-Israel organization of backing what he called "the least capabl

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) issued a stark warning Thursday, arguing that America is confronting more than Iran alone. During an appearance on Fox News' America's Newsroom, Cotton said he believes China and Russia are assisting Iran in various ways, even if that support is indirect or limited. When asked by co-host Dana Perino whether China was supplying Iran with weapons, Cotton stopped short of making that specific alle

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump forcefully defended his administration's COVID-19 response Wednesday, using a lengthy Truth Social statement to praise Operation Warp Speed while accusing former White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci of making repeated policy failures during the pandemic. The statement came as Fauci faced renewed scrutiny before a Republican-led Senate committee investigating decisions made during the COVID-19 crisis. Trump declared that "many

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a contentious Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, refusing to answer more than 100 questions regarding his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues. The dramatic testimony has reignited conservative demands for greater transparency and accountability over the federal government's pandemic res

Part I: The Law That Was Passed and Then Forgotten On August 24, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. It declared the Communist Party of the United States to be a conspiracy to overthrow the government and stripped it of the rights,

The Illusion of Alignment The "Red-Green alliance" between Russia, China, and Iran is the most misunderstood geopolitical configuration of the modern era. Western analysts routinely describe it as a coherent axis, an authoritarian bloc united against American hegemony. But this framing commits the very error Shields white papers have warned against, confusing tactical convenience with cultural compatibility. The reality is starkly different. China is pragmatically atheist. Ru

Friday, July 25th. The Washington Nationals fell short in the opener of an important three-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks, losing 3 to 2. Arizona started the scoring in the top of the 2nd. Max Kepler led off the inning with a double to center field. Tyler Locklear followed with a walk. The two were bunted to 2nd and 3rd by Adrian Del Castillo. Tim Tawa managed a bunt single that plated Kepler. Locklear then scored on a force out off the bat of Kete

The National Football League training camps open up this weekend with the rookies reporting first and the veterans joining them a few days thereafter. With the beginning of training camps brings hope for all NFL Teams and their fans. Pro football is one of the few professional sports where teams annually finish last in their division, but rise up from the cellar the following season to win their Division, and as other teams in the past, have gone on to win the Super Bowl. Las

WASHINGTON DC — A major geopolitical breakthrough may be emerging in the Middle East as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the recent military campaign against Iran has created a historic opportunity to expand peace across the region through Saudi Arabia's possible entry into the Abraham Accords. Following President Donald Trump's announcement that the newly negotiated U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear agreement is contingent upon Saudi Arabia recognizing Israe

By Scott Shields – Contributing Writer – Capitol Times Media Inspired by the analysis of institutional conscription and historical economic patterns I. The Historical Record: When Economic Support Fuels Aggression History offers a stark warning that is often ignored in the pursuit of diplomatic engagement: you cannot subsidize a system designed for conquest and expect it to abandon its designs. The debate over American isolationism prior to World War II remains one of the mos

The Rockies got on the board and then some in the bottom of the 2nd. TJ Rumfield

The Framework That Makes President Trump's Communist Rhetoric Legally and Constitutionally Legible When President Donald Trump stood before Mount Rushmore on July 3, 2026, and warned of "a resurgence of the communist menace in our land," he did not cite a specific statute. When President Trump spoke on television last Thursday night disclosing what has been occurring by Communist China and those aligned with Atheist Marxist Socialism and Communism here in a a America, he did
