YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Federal judge blocks Trump's mail-in voting restrictions

A federal judge on Tuesday again blocked the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing an executive order on voting by mail, which directed the agency to only supply mail-in ballots to states that provided the federal government with lists of eligible voters. In June, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that Trump’s order did not apply in 20-plus Democratic led states — who were plaintiffs in that case. Her latest ruling, the conclusion of a separate lawsuit by the Massachusetts League of Women Voters, nullified the president’s directive nationwide.

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - The Left’s Latest Low: Attacking Melania to Prop Up a Radical

Leave it to the radical left to turn a simple social media comparison into a personal smear against the First Lady of the United States.

Leave it to the radical left to turn a simple social media comparison into a personal smear against the First Lady of the United States. President Trump posts a side-by-side photo of two couples, himself with Melania and Michigan’s far left Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed with his wife under the perfectly accurate caption “Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s ”. What dd the self-styled progressive decide was the prudent thing to do? He appeared CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper and claimed the Trumps’ marriage is “rocky” on Sunday August 9, 2026. How utterly predictable. El-Sayed, who just scraped past a moderate Democrat in the primary and now eyes a Senate seat, told Jake Tapper that he and his wife “like each…Open

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - ATF’s Return to Its True Mission

For far too many years, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) drifted from the mission Congress intended when it created the agency. Instead of concentrating its resources on violent criminals, firearms traffickers, bombings, arson investigations, and organized criminal enterprises ATF increasingly became entangled in regulatory battles that alienated law abiding gun owners.

For far too many years, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) drifted from the mission Congress intended when it created the agency. Instead of concentrating its resources on violent criminals, firearms traffickers, bombings, arson investigations, and organized criminal enterprises ATF increasingly became entangled in regulatory battles that alienated law abiding gun owners. President Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Robert Cekada as ATF Director represents a deliberate course correction that restores the agency to its original purpose and, in doing so, strengthens both public safety and constitutional liberty. As I wrote when President Trump nominated Robert Cekada, he was the right man for the job . Nothing…Open

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - The Jersey Tomato: Nature’s Perfect Fruit and Proof That the Garden State Still Reigns Supreme

Let me be perfectly clear: there is no fresh tomato on God’s green earth that can touch a Jersey tomato at the height of summer.

Let me be perfectly clear: there is no fresh tomato on God’s green earth that can touch a Jersey tomato at the height of summer. Not the hard specimens shipped across the continent, not the mealy impostors bred primarily to survive a truck ride, and certainly not the pallid orbs produced in industrial greenhouses where durability matters more than taste. A real Jersey tomato, picked ripe in July or August, is deep red, heavy in the hand, fragrant before the knife touches it, and bursting with that exquisite balance of sweetness and acidity that makes the average supermarket tomato seem like a botanical fraud. New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason. Long before the turnpikes, shopping malls, subdivisions, and industrial…Open
