Washington, D.C. – In a bold and long-overdue stand against the radical left’s campaign of violence, Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened ministers and officials from more than 60 nations at the State Department today for a high-level ministerial conference on the resurgence of far-left political terrorism. The gathering, organized under President Donald J. Trump’s America First administration, marks a decisive shift in U.S. and international counterterrorism policy—one t

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration announced Thursday that it is restoring the long-debated public charge rule, reviving a policy that allows federal immigration officials to deny green cards to applicants who rely on taxpayer-funded welfare programs such as Medicaid and other public benefits. The rule is scheduled to take effect on Sept. 18, reversing a Biden-era policy that narrowed how immigration officers evaluated public assistance use. The move marks another st

California and New York continue to lose residents and billions of dollars in taxable income as Americans relocate to lower-tax, lower-cost states, reinforcing a trend that conservative economists say reflects growing dissatisfaction with policies in Democrat-controlled states. New IRS migration data show that the nation's 10 counties with the largest net losses of taxpayers to other states are all located in California and New York. According to the federal tax return data,

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Republicans are demanding a federal investigation into New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration after reports that a senior city official attempted to arrange a meeting with Iran's ambassador to the United Nations during a period of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions. The lawmakers argue the episode raises serious questions about national security and potential violations of the Logan Act, a federal law that restricts unauthorized negotiations w

By Scott Shields – Contributing Writer - Capitol Times Media On what the Take Your Power Back Show dubbed as an "emergency broadcast," Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Raji Rab announced that he has filed an emergency petition demanding a full statewide manual recount of California's June 2nd primary election. The broadcast, hosted by Kim Yeater — host of the Take Your Power Back Show and leader of the "Take Our California Back" movement — featured Rab alongside

From the starting line-ups walking through a replica of the Liberty Bell and signing their names on a lineup sheet made of parchment with a quill pen, to Ray Charles on the big screen singing “America the Beautiful”, the All-Star game was filled with a spectacular display of what America is all about. Kids riding bikes into the stadium and joining players on the field listening as Ray Charles sang. Stand Up to Cancer also had its moment of hope and remembrance. A fireworks di

American families received welcome economic relief in June as inflation cooled more than expected, driven by a sharp drop in gasoline prices that eased pressure on household budgets. New data released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed annual consumer inflation slowed to 3.5 percent, down from 4.2 percent in May, while prices fell 0.4 percent during the month—the largest monthly decline since April 2020. The report highlighted the importance of affordable e

The 2026 MLB Home Run hitting contest was so much fun and ended in dramatic fashion. I Hope you got to witness this fun event to start the Major League Baseball All Star festivities-- if not, here's what you missed. The annual MLB Home Run hitting contest had some changes this year with 8 hitters getting 20 swings in the first round and 15 in each of the final two rounds -- however a home run on your last swing each round would allow you another swing-- and after fourth year

In a ruling that many view as a display of judicial favoritism and two-tiered "justice," a federal judge has handed Hunter Biden a $1.7 million windfall in a defamation suit against conservative patriot and former Overstock CEO Dr. Patrick Byrne. This isn't about genuine accountability – it's widely perceived as an attempt to silence one of the few voices exposing the Biden family's alleged web of international grift. Byrne, a longtime truth-seeker on election integrity, Big

Leading into the All-Star break, the New York Yankees, the Bronx Bombers came to Nationals Park for a 3 game series. The Yankees have been without Aaron Judge since May 31st and Giancarlo Stanton since April 24th. They’ve been through a rough stretch lately and have lost 11 of their last 14 games. But they’re still a formidable team and sit at 51-42 in the American League East, four games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. And now for game one… Ben Rice started things off for th

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The conservative movement lost one of its most recognizable and outspoken voices Saturday night as U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) died at the age of 71 following what his office described as a "brief and sudden illness." The announcement was made early Sunday morning, with Graham's family requesting prayers and privacy during their time of mourning. A fixture on Capitol Hill for more than two decades, Graham had become one of President Donald Trump's clo

By Scott Shields – Contributing Writer – Capitol Times Media The Signature That Is Absence There is a difference between anonymity imposed by history (the lost names of ancient artisans) and anonymity chosen by design (Nakamoto's deliberate withdrawal). But both share a recognition that the relationship between creator and creation can become parasitic if the creator lingers too long. The ego attaches itself to the work like barnacles to a hull, slowing it, weighting it, redi

By Scott Shields – Contributing Writer – Capitol Times Media There is a peculiar humility in the world's greatest works, a silence where a signature ought to be. Walk into the Ajanta caves in Maharashtra, India, and you'll find murals painted between the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE that rival anything produced during the Italian Renaissance. Pigments ground from lapis lazuli, figures rendered with anatomical precision and spiritual tenderness, entire walls pulsing

Good vibes… Washington started the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd after a couple of walks and a fly out left James Wood on third and Luis Garcia on first. CJ Abrams’ sac

The IMF projects the U.S. economy will grow 2.3% in 2026 and 2.2% in 2027, maintaining one of the strongest performances among advanced economies even as global growth weakens.

In a stunning display of the Democrat Party's ongoing war on women and its desperate scramble to salvage a floundering Senate bid in Maine, the far-left activist group Progressive Victory has dropped a bombshell: potential replacement candidate Troy Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her during a heated disagreement years ago. This revelation comes as the current Democratic nominee, Graham Platner—an oyster farmer and Marine veteran pushed h
