6+ min ago (186+ words) WASHINGTON, D.C. " President Donald Trump expressed concern that his wife, Melania, may now be aware of what he got her for Christmas after news reports surfaced that the U.S. military had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker this week. When the story broke, Trump reportedly scolded White House staff for potentially spoiling the surprise that he was giving his wife the one-of-a-kind gift of a seized tanker filled with crude oil. Trump ordered the capture of the vessel, with sources close to the President saying he was planning on gifting it to his wife this year for Christmas. He reportedly tried to keep the seizure secret, but the information was somehow leaked to the press. "Now I have to try to think of something else," he reportedly said. "Can you believe it? Such a great surprise ruined. I wonder if she'd like one…...

20+ min ago (367+ words) Chicago Cubs outfielder Matt Shaw will be among numerous speakers at Turning Point USA's "America Fest" next weekend in Phoenix. Shaw attended Charlie Kirk's funeral, which stirred controversy, as he left his team during a postseason push to attend. He also was scratched from the Cubs' lineup on Sept. 10, the day Kirk was assassinated. Upon hearing Shaw would attend next week's event, longtime Chicago radio host Dan Bernstein implored Shaw to "own it" and "embrace it."

21+ min ago (318+ words) The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, a preservation group, filed a lawsuit Friday against the White House. The suit is over President Trump's $300 million ballroom construction project. Private donors mostly fund the project. The group wants to pause building the ballroom. The left-wing group claims they want the public to weigh in. They say they are concerned about the [small] amount of taxpayer dollars being used. They will likely force taxpayers to spend a lot more on their lawsuit. Democrats won't let this ballroom go because they see they can conjure up negative press for the President. The ballroom was designed to fit the architecture and was overseen by White House officials. A ballroom means they don't have to set up tents to accommodate prominent visitors to the White House. The group is capitalizing on the…...

22+ min ago (499+ words) Hundreds of acres of public land near the Mexico border have been put under the control of the U.S. Navy for the sake of national security. The Trump administration announced the plan, which is a continuation of a project started by the Theodore Roosevelt administration, on Dec. 10. The land is now designated as a "National Defense Area." The area runs from one mile west of the California-Arizona state line to the western edge of the Otay Mountain Wilderness Area in San Diego and Imperial counties. The change is expected to assist with immigration enforcement, which is one part of the administration's national security plan. The transfer allows the military to detain any illegal immigrants found in this area, and arrest anyone entering as if they were trespassing on a military base. "This corridor is one of the highest-traffic regions for unlawful…...

23+ min ago (439+ words) By Jim Mishler "|" Saturday, 13 December 2025 01:32 PM EST Former President Joe Biden is facing significant challenges raising money for a presidential library. A longtime Democratic donor said Biden "will be lucky to have a bookmobile," according to reporting in the New York Times. Public filings and donor interviews show Biden has raised only a small fraction of what aides say is needed to build a stand-alone presidential library, raising questions about when, or whether, such a project can be completed. According to Internal Revenue Service filings, Biden's library foundation received no new donations in 2024, the final year of his presidency. The only funding that year was $4 million transferred from Biden's presidential inaugural committee. The foundation has not disclosed how much it has raised in 2025 but told the IRS it expects to bring in just $11.3 million total by the end of 2027, far…...
