President Trump has selected Dr. Stephen Miran, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, to join the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The appointment fills the seat vacated by Governor Adriana Kugler and will run until January 31, 2026.

His addition to the central bank is seen as a strategic move to place more like-minded voices within the Fed’s policymaking ranks. The nomination comes…
Holly, a Cincinnati single mother of three, is speaking out after being brutally attacked during a street brawl on July 26. The police chief’s description of the savage assault as merely an “incident” struck her as insensitive and dismissive, especially given the severity of her injuries. Although she arrived home severely injured—with a concussion, brain trauma, and extensive bruising—no police officer took her statement or offered her medical assistance. She insists: “It wasn’t an incident; it was a beatdown—attempted murder, even.” She’s also hurt by the silence from city leadership. “I’ve yet to receive a phone call from the police…
The Trump administration has escalated its campaign against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, doubling the $25 million reward to $50 million for information leading to his arrest. This move, announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi, underscores charges that Maduro is deeply enmeshed with international drug cartels, including the Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa Cartel, and Cartel de los Soles, and that he has overseen trafficking operations involving fentanyl-laced cocaine into the U.S. Officials cited the seizure of more than 30 tons of cocaine tied to Maduro and his associates, and placed the total value of confiscated assets—including jets and vehicles—at over $700 million.…
A heartbreaking tragedy struck a close-knit Kremmling family early Monday when their SUV was struck head-on by a Ford F-150 traveling the wrong way on Highway 9, about three miles south of town. The collision occurred just after 7 a.m., and both vehicles burst into flames upon impact. Sadly, the family—two parents and their three young children—did not survive the crash. The victims were identified as Manuel Cabral-Torres, 34; Andrea Banuelos-Salazar, 30; and their children Maria, 12; Manuel, 5; and Andres, 2. First responders worked to rescue them, but the intensity of the blaze made the scene tragically unsurvivable. The…

A 47-year-old Moroccan man has had his French residency permit revoked after a widely circulated video showed him using the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe to light a cigarette. The act was deemed deeply disrespectful by officials and triggered immediate legal repercussions. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau condemned the act as “indecent and pathetic,” emphasizing the solemnity of the monument dedicated to fallen soldiers. Following his arrest, the man admitted to the act and now faces charges for violating a war memorial—offenses that carry significant penalties under French law. Patricia Mirallès, the…
At a recent press briefing in the Oval Office, President Trump suggested that Howard Stern’s radio show on SiriusXM lost its audience after the host publicly supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential race. Trump recalled a time when he and Stern enjoyed a friendly rapport and questioned whether Stern’s show had been “terminated,” implying that the endorsement damaged his popularity. Stern, now at the end of his reported $500 million contract, is negotiating with SiriusXM about his future. Despite the uncertainty, he teased a return with a live episode slated for early September, leaving fans wondering whether his long…
President Trump unveiled a bold new trade policy, imposing a 100% tariff on all imported semiconductors and chips—unless the producing company is already manufacturing or committed to building production facilities in the United States.

The response in financial markets was immediate and telling: Apple shares surged over 5%, driven by investor optimism tied to the new domestic…
Social media has gone wild following the release of Beyoncé’s latest Levi’s jeans campaign, debuting just days after Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle ad made waves online. Dressed in a rhinestone-encrusted denim outfit and sporting a blonde makeover, Beyoncé’s ad sparked intense discussions, with many pointing out the uncanny timing and visual parallels. Critics and fans alike are calling out what they see as a glaring double standard: Beyoncé’s ad is being hailed as artful and glamorous, while Sweeney’s, which leaned into the pun “great jeans/genes,” was accused of echoing racial purity ideals. This perceived discrepancy prompted vocal commentary across…

Duncan revealed his decision in an op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, describing his transformation as a gradual response to shifting values—particularly around health care, Medicaid eligibility, immigration practices, and gun safety reform. He emphasized that “loving my neighbor” guided his choice, a personal creed he felt the GOP could no longer uphold. His departure capped a year marked by open dissent. Duncan was expelled from the Georgia GOP earlier this year following endorsements of Democratic candidates, including Joe…
President Trump has directed the Commerce Department to create a mid-decade census that intentionally omits individuals residing in the U.S. without legal authorization. Announcing the plan via social media, he described the initiative as a “new and highly accurate” count grounded in “modern day facts and figures” and tied to data from the 2024 election. Under this directive, undocumented immigrants “WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS,” a move poised to reshape congressional representation and federal funding allocations — especially in states with large immigrant populations. The change bypasses longstanding constitutional guidance that mandates counting “the whole number of persons”…
