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

Going into tonight’s game, the Washington Nationals stood 3 ½ games out of a Wild Card slot. That might sound pretty decent until you realize there’s two teams ahead of us in that race to the playoffs. Let’s go, Nats… Foster Griffin, the ace of the pitching staff on the mound tonight for the home team . 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

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American economy is once again proving its strength while much of the developed world struggles with sluggish growth, according to the International Monetary Fund's latest World Economic Outlook update released Wednesday. 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. For supporters of President Donald Trump's economic agenda

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

While Americans across the nation celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with fireworks, flags, and patriotic fervor, New York City under Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered a jaw-dropping display of tone-deafness: an MTA subway train on the F line brazenly wrapped in the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The viral images show the train car emblazoned with the regime’s green-white-red tricolor and emblem, rolling through the city on the very weeken

Florida has become the first state to aggressively implement a new anti-terrorism framework aimed at organizations Governor Ron DeSantis says threaten public safety, constitutional government, and national security. On July 1, the day Florida's new anti-terrorism law (HB 1471) took effect, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the state's intent to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as terrorist organizations under Florida

July 4, 2026 marks a historic milestone as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, honoring the courage, sacrifice, and enduring principles that gave birth to the world's greatest constitutional republic. From the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to today, America has remained a symbol of liberty, self-government, and opportunity. This anniversary is more than a celebration of the past—it is a reminder that the strength of the nation depends

California Governor Gavin Newsom's appointment of Haaris M. Syed to the Los Angeles County Superior Court has reignited a debate that extends far beyond one judicial nomination. At its core lies a question every American should be asking: When a judge takes the bench, what must come first—the United States Constitution or any personal belief system? Before joining the Superior Court, Syed sought a religious accommodation from Los Angeles County after arguing that mandatory pa

Kirsten Gillibrand is facing renewed criticism after claiming the proposed SAVE Act could be used to deny voter registration to Americans with Hispanic surnames, a charge that critics say is not supported by the text of the legislation. Speaking during the Aspen Ideas Festival, Gillibrand argued that the federal government could unfairly question the eligibility of citizens with Hispanic last names such as Diaz or Alvarez. She suggested the legislation could open the door to

President Donald J. Trump welcomed former Colorado Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to the White House this week, marking her first public visit with the President since her release from prison.

In his statement, Trump said Peters had been imprisoned af

WASHINGTON, D.C. — June 30, 2026 — In one of the most consequential immigration rulings of President Donald Trump's second term, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 Tuesday in Trump v. Barbara to strike down the administration's executive order restricting automatic birthright citizenship. The Court ruled that President Trump's January 2025 executive order conflicts with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, reaffirming the long-standing interpretation that nearly

The WNBA's decision to suspend Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas for one game has ignited another fierce debate—but the bigger question is why officials failed to protect Caitlin Clark when the incident happened on the court. During Wednesday's matchup, Thomas made what the league later ruled was "recklessly making contact with her fist to the throat area" of Clark. Officials did not call a foul in real time. Only after a league review was the play upgraded to a Flagrant 2,

The Washington Nationals' two-game winning streak came to an end tonight with a 6-3 loss to the Red Sox in Boston. The game started with a bang for the visiting team as the National’s James Wood led off the top of the 1st with his 21st home run. That lead didn’t last long as the Red Sox tallied three in the bottom of the inning courtesy of a three-run homer by Willson Contreras (his 18th) after singles from Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu. Caleb Durbin added a solo shot l

President Donald Trump delivered one of his strongest warnings yet about the direction of American politics, declaring that recent victories by Democratic Socialist-backed candidates signal a dangerous shift within the Democratic Party. Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's "Road to Majority" conference in Washington, Trump stated: "These are not social democrats. These are hardcore, godless communists." He argued that the United States is facing what he described as it

The Washington Nationals defeated the Baltimore Orioles in ten-innings, due partly to some half-way decent relief pitching and a throw from the infield cutting down a base runner at home that would have tied the game. The Nats opened the scoring in their half of the 2nd with Jorbit Vivas’s single driving in Daylen Lile who had doubled earlier in the inning. The Orioles tied it up in the bottom half of the 2nd courtesy of a single by Chadwick Tromp, scoring Blaze Alexander

Speaking before thousands of conservative activists at the Washington Hilton, Trump declared that "religion is back" in America and pledged that his administration would continue d

Tonight, for the third game in a row, the Washington Nationals jumped out to an early lead over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The real test was turning that early lead into a victory. Curtis Mead’s solo home run (14) in the bottom of the 1st started things off for the Nats. Daley Lile’s rbi single later in the inning knocked in Andres Chaparro who was on first after being plunked by a pitch and then sent to 3rd on Dylan Crews’ single. Crews then scored on Jacob Young’s
