Chicago Judge Hits Pause on Trump’s Troop Show: Sovereignty on Life Support
When America elects a man who treats the Constitution like a napkin for his Diet Coke spills, you get weeks like this: federal helicopters dangling agents over Chicago apartment buildings, immigration patrols conducting fashion-police stops downtown, and the President attempting to cosplay Lincoln while importing National Guard troops from Texas as if Illinois were suddenly

The Great Halftime Faceplant: Turning Point USA Declares War on Bad Bunny (and Loses Before It Starts)
The Super Bowl halftime show used to be about pyrotechnics, wardrobe malfunctions, and the occasional left shark dancing off-beat.

Letters From the Border, Echoes in Rome: Pope Leo XIV vs. Operation Midway Blitz
If you want to know how power really moves in 2025, don’t watch the tank convoys rolling down Chicago boulevards or the ICE jackets fanning out across El Paso school zones.
