EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — President Donald J. Trump arrived at the 2026 Group of Seven Summit on Monday not as a politician on the defensive, but as a leader carrying what may become one of the most significant diplomatic victories of his presidency.

By Scott Shields - Contributing Writer - Capitol Times For over a century, millions have claimed to fight for Karl Marx's vision while advancing doctrines he explicitly rejected. They invoke his name, quote his texts, and defend his legacy—yet when the core terms of their ideology are examined, a disturbing truth emerges, Marx himself never used the phrase "Dialectical Material

In a historic milestone that many economists once considered impossible, entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk has officially become the world's first trillionaire following the blockbuster public debut of SpaceX. The company's record-breaking stock market launch pushed its valuation above $2 trillion and elevated Musk's personal net worth beyond the trillion-dollar mark. The achievement represents far more than a personal financial victory. It is a powerful demonstration of w

BY Stephanie Li & Scott Shields - Contributing Writers for Capitol Times Media - 06/12/2026 As leadership around the world explores the intersection of quantum mechanical principles and sociopolitical theory by explaining where societal stability is governed by a "conservation of moral order," analogous to the conservation of probability amplitudes in a closed quantum system, peace may possibly be attained.

Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates found himself under intense scrutiny this week as he appeared before the House Oversight Committee investigating the far-reaching network and influence of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. During hours of closed-door testimony, Gates admitted that Epstein had attempted to use information about his personal life, including marital infidelities, as leverage to pressure him into maintaining contact. Gates insisted he never partic

President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act into law Wednesday, securing long-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security and delivering what supporters are calling one of the most significant border security victories in modern American history.

Outgoing Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas is facing intense criticism after appearing to minimize the deadly weapon used by convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony during a recent episode of her podcast. Anthony was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a Texas high school track meet. Prosecutors argued that Anthony escalated a dispute and stabbed Metcalf in the chest, while the defense unsuccessfully claim

For decades, Western nations have taught their citizens that race should not determine opportunity. Hard work, talent, and merit were supposed to be the standards by which people advanced in society. Yet in modern Britain, that principle is increasingly being abandoned in favor of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion agenda that openly discriminates against certain groups while claiming to promote fairness. The latest example comes from Britain's government-funded National Audi

WASHINGTON, D.C. — June 5, 2026 — President Donald Trump's administration returned to federal court Friday to defend its plan for a $400 million White House ballroom, arguing that national security and presidential safety outweigh the objections of preservation activists seeking to halt construction.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As America prepares to celebrate its historic 250th birthday, a group of performers decided they would rather abandon a patriotic event than share a stage connected to President Donald Trump.

Instead, they delivered one of the greatest financial disasters ever forced upon the American middle class. Today, millions of hardworking families are facing a shocking reality: health insurance is costing more than homeownership. Reports show many Americans are now paying more each month for health coverage than they pay toward their mortgage. For countless famili
