Poll: Only 36% Of Democrats Are Proud To Be American

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Gallup poll revealed Monday that only 36 percent of Democrats say they are proud to be an American, down from 87 percent in 2001. Meanwhile, at least 84 percent of Republicans have identified themselves as proud Americans throughout the last 24 years.

According to the poll conducted in early June, 87 percent of Democrats in 2001 identified as “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, compared to 36 percent in 2025. Meanwhile, 92 percent of Republican respondents said they were proud to be American, an increase from 90 percent in 2001.

A respondent is identified as a “proud” American if they report being either “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, as opposed to “moderately,” “only a little,” or “not at all.” “Proud” answers were the norm for Americans before the most recent decade and remained consistently high across the political spectrum from 2005-2015, ranging from 81 percent to 85 percent. However, the first significant nosedive was seen in 2017, when only 75 percent of respondents said they were proud as opposed to 81 percent the previous year. Enthusiasm has continued to fall since then. In 2025, American pride among respondents sits at a record low of 58 percent. Most of the variation is found in the answers of Democrats and Independents.

Democrat respondents’ pride appeared to be more affected by which party held the White House, a factor which may play a role in the recent plunge. The first and second Trump administrations coincide with both major dips in Democrat patriotism. In response to these statistics, Brad Smith, law professor at Capital University Law School, suggested in a post on X that Democrats’ pride hinges more in their success as a party than consistent loyalty to the nation as a whole.

FBI ‘Suppressed Intelligence’ On Chinese Meddling In 2020 To Cover For Christopher Wray: Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) interfered with an investigation into Chinese meddling in the 2020 election to cover for former Director Christopher Wray, who had just testified to Congress that he had seen no evidence of a coordinated voter fraud effort, According to previously classified documents released Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

The FBI “suppressed intelligence” of alleged Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in the 2020 election, including the production of ‘”tens of thousands’ of fraudulent drivers’ licenses to manufacture mail-in votes for then-presidential candidate Joe Biden,” according to a press release.

“These records smack of political decision-making and prove the Wray-led FBI to be a deeply broken institution. Ahead of a high-stakes election happening amid an unprecedented global pandemic, the FBI turned its back on its national security mission,” Grassley said. “One way or the other, intelligence must be fully investigated to determine whether it’s true, or if it’s just smoke and mirrors. Chris Wray’s FBI wasn’t looking out for the American people – it was looking to save its own image.”

Grassley released the documents after FBI Director Kash Patel declassified them and sent them to the Senate.

The apparent proof of a conspiracy to protect Wray come after Patel in June declassified documents further detailing the attempt from the CCP to produce the fake IDs to be used as validation of mail-in ballots and rig the 2020 election for Biden, as The Federalist reported.

Piece of Delta Airplane Wing Plummets Onto Driveway Mid-Flight — and Crew Had No Idea Until They Landed

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A flap from a Delta Airlines plane plummeted from the sky and onto a driveway in North Carolina early Wednesday morning.

The fragment found in a residential Raleigh neighborhood splintered off a Boeing 737 flight from Atlanta to Raleigh-Durham International Airport that had been delayed Tuesday evening due to a thunderstorm in Georgia, according to a spokesperson for Delta.

The flap, which was “evidently separated” from the left wing, didn’t impede the aircraft’s “safe landing” in Raleigh-Durham, the spokesperson wrote.

It landed smack dab in the middle of one unlucky Tar Heel’s driveway, just a few yards away from their car.

Still, the six crew members tending to the 109 customers aboard the flight didn’t realize they’d lost the piece of precious cargo until they landed around 1:15 a.m.

“After the aircraft landed safely, it was observed that a portion of the left wing’s trailing edge flap was not in place. Delta is fully supporting retrieval efforts and will cooperate with investigations as nothing is more important than safety,” the spokesperson wrote.

Diddy Denied Bail After Being Found Guilty of Prostitution, Will Remain Behind Bars Until Sentencing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail and will remain in jail until his sentencing, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled.

The hip-hop mogul’s eyes opened wide — and his mouth went into a pout — as the judge read his decision.

Subramanian said bail is required after someone convicted of prostitution charges, and he focused on the fact that the Bad Boy Records founder posed a danger if released — the judge noting the violence Combs unleashed on his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

The judge noted that Combs’ own team admitted to the domestic violence claims but said the “confession was unnecessary because defendant’s violence was starkly depicted in the 2016 video at the InterContinental Hotel.”

The notorious footage showed Combs kicking and dragging Ventura in the hotel hallway.

“For present purposes, the defendant is unable to meet his burden,” Subramanian said. (Read more from “Diddy Denied Bail After Being Found Guilty of Prostitution, Will Remain Behind Bars Until Sentencing” HERE)

Amex Pays $70K for Gay ‘Throuple’ to Get Their Mitts on a Baby

/0 Comments/in , /by

There was a time when corporate America supported families… real families, and upheld traditional values that reflect the vast majority of this country. But those days are clearly gone. Today, companies like American Express aren’t just bending to woke ideology; they’re twisting themselves into pretzels to fund it, even when it crosses extreme moral lines.

Case in point: Amex is now proudly covering the costs for a “throuple”—yes, three adult males in a so-called polyamorous relationship—to bring a baby into their fetish household. For most Americans, this isn’t progressive. It’s deeply, deeply disturbing. We’re talking about a child being placed in a situation that many would describe as unstable, unnatural, and even exploitative. Some are calling it what it looks like: corporate-sponsored baby trafficking.

And the fact that American Express is footing the bill for all of it is not just wrong; it’s a wake-up call for all of America.

This is what passes for family values in corporate America now.

There’s nothing inclusive about using corporate cash to intentionally bring children into a situation that many see as ethically creepy, psychologically confusing, and morally wrong. And yet, Amex doesn’t just approve it; it sponsors it. (Read more from “Amex Pays $70K for Gay ‘Throuple’ to Get Their Mitts on a Baby” HERE)

Pentagon: Trump, Hegseth’s ‘Leadership’ Inspired More Recruits — Targets Met Months Ahead of Schedule

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense (DOD) has been meeting its military recruiting goals months ahead of schedule after barely scraping by and sometimes falling short under the Biden administration, prompting Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell to attribute the recent success to the “leadership” displayed by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Parnell announced that both the Air Force and Space Force hit their recruiting goals three months early, just a month after the Navy and Army accomplished the same.

“Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, enthusiasm to serve is at an all-time high. Since November 5, 2024, the U.S. military has seen the highest recruiting percentage mission achieved in 30 years,” the DOD official said.

When asked what factors have contributed to the better recruitment under Trump and Hegseth compared to under former President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Parnell said the Pentagon “recently stood up a recruiting task force here a couple of weeks ago to analyze and look at just these types of questions.”

He continued, “Recruiting is a constellation of different things … To answer your question directly, I believe that with President Trump as a commander-in-chief and Secretary Hegseth at the helm here in the DOD, leadership matters — and certainly their leadership and moral clarity as it pertains to certain issues, not just here within the department, but all around the world, has inspired people to want to join and serve this country in great numbers.” (Read more from “Pentagon: Trump, Hegseth’s ‘Leadership’ Inspired More Recruits — Targets Met Months Ahead of Schedule” HERE)

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Reveals Staggering Drop in Border Crossings Last Month: ‘Less Than a Single Day Under Biden’

/7 Comments/in , /by

Federal authorities encountered fewer migrants attempting to illegally enter the US last month than what officials faced daily during the Biden administration, border czar Tom Homan revealed Tuesday.

“Total Border Patrol encounters for the entire month of June 2025 was 6,070,” according to Homan, who noted in an X post that the figure is “less than a single day under Biden.”

“As a matter of fact, the total number of encounters is less than half of a single day under Biden on many days,” the Trump administration official said, adding that “none of the 6,070 were released into the US. ZERO.”

The total released by Homan marks a 93.1% drop in nationwide Border Patrol encounters from June 2024, when 87,606 migrants were nabbed trying to enter the country illegally.

It’s also a 94% and 97% decline from June 2023 and June 2022, when, respectively, 100,606 and 193,027 migrants were encountered by Border Patrol. (Read more from “Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Reveals Staggering Drop in Border Crossings Last Month: ‘Less Than a Single Day Under Biden’” HERE)

DeSantis Signs Provision Prohibiting State Agencies From Contracting With Media Censors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida’s FY 2026 budget includes a provision that prohibits state agencies from using taxpayer dollars to contract with advertising and marketing companies that act as or use “media reliability or bias monitors” services, like censorship group NewsGuard.

The measure, included in a budget bill Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law Monday, “prevents state agencies from entering contracts with advertising agencies and marketing firms that use politically biased media monitoring services like NewsGuard, Ad Fontes,” and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), according to a press release from the Independent Media Council.

“These monitoring groups purport to be impartial, but consistently skew their ratings to target conservative and independent media from receiving advertising from major brands,” the release adds.

NewsGuard’s “Misinformation Fingerprints” technology was developed with the help of a $750,000 grant funded by the Department of Defense, as The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland reported. The group’s “False Claim Fingerprints” technology is currently marketed to social media, AI, and other tech companies to trace and flag “misinformation.” (Read more from “DeSantis Signs Provision Prohibiting State Agencies From Contracting With Media Censors” HERE)

Paramount, CBS Forced to Pay Eight-Figures, Change Editorial Policy in Settlement With Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.

Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion.

There is an anticipation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network in the future, Fox News Digital has learned.

With these considerations, CBS would pay well in excess of the $15 million ABC paid Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit last year. Current Paramount management disputes the additional allocation.

Sources close to the situation told Fox News Digital that CBS has agreed to update its editorial standards to install a mandatory new rule. (Read more from “Paramount, CBS Forced to Pay Eight-Figures, Change Editorial Policy in Settlement With Trump” HERE)

‘Trans’ Inmate Back In Male Prison Years After Allegedly Raping Female Cellmate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A violent “transgender” male prisoner was quietly transferred back to a men’s prison in June, years after he was accused of sexually assaulting his female cellmate in a women’s prison.

Christopher Scott Williams, who is serving a 28-year sentence for first degree assault, was first denied transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his history of violence against women, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. His request to be housed with women was approved in late 2021, documents show, and three months later he allegedly sexually assaulted his female cellmate, Mozzy Clark, according to a lawsuit she filed against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC).

Clark alleges the state’s actions of placing a “male sexual predator” into her cell and then ignoring her “complaints of sexual harassment and assault” violated several of her constitutional rights, including her right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment and exercise free speech, the lawsuit says.

“Based on Williams’ past history of violence and the explicit recommendation that he not be transferred to a women’s facility it was not only reasonably foreseeable but extremely likely that locking him in a small cell with a female inmate would have disastrous consequences, as it did in this case,” David Pivtorak, Clark’s lawyer, told the DCNF.

Williams was transferred back to a male prison on June 20, 2025, according to the Washington DOC, which lists his gender as female on its website. (Read more from “‘Trans’ Inmate Back In Male Prison Years After Allegedly Raping Female Cellmate” HERE)
