By Michael Austin Verified| The Western Journal Verified The Trump administration continues delivering victories that keep conservatives cheering. Glancing at the latest headlines almost inevitably leads to the same thought for many such Americans: “Yep, this is what I voted for.”If you’re opposed to the left’s gender madness, the latest update from the Department of Justice is likely going to spring that sentiment to mind for you yet again.
By Michael Austin Verified| The Western Journal Verified In America, whistleblowers are supposed to be unsung heroes — brave souls risking all to expose corruption, no matter the target. But mainstream media tells a different story: Blow the whistle on Donald Trump, and you’re a patriot, a modern Daniel Ellsberg. Call out Democrats or agencies like the CIA, FBI, or IRS, and you’re a pariah — ignored or vilified. This isn’t selective storytelling; it’s a double standard showing the press picks heroes and villains based on politics, not principle.
By Michael Austin Verified| The Western Journal Verified Secret Service officers shot an armed man near the White House in Washington, DC, on Sunday. A tip from local police led the agents to confront a “suicidal” man from Indiana. The man then pulled a firearm on the officers as they approached, which resulted in his being shot. The man has since been hospitalized. The Secret Service later released a statement on the incident. “Around midnight, members of the Secret Service encountered the individual’s parked vehicle…” the statement said.
