America is a Christian nation. The America First Report intends to remind the world of this because in order to be truly "America First" we need to remember that honoring God is our primary path as a nation. The political and cultural landscapes are treacherous. We cannot successfully navigate them without our Lord and Savior at the top of mind in all things. We have been blessed by being in the greatest nation to ever exist. We must not let that status slip away because of anti-Christian beliefs that have become far too normalized in America.

    Thune Sets Stage for SAVE America Act Collapse as UniParty Swamp’s Finger-Pointing Status Quo Wins

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced he will bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week for debate and a vote, but he has ruled out changes to Senate rules that could allow passage with a simple majority.The bill, strongly endorsed by President Donald Trump and a strong majority of Americans, requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and photo ID to cast a ballot.House Republicans passed the legislation last month on a near party-line vote, with only one Democrat crossing over in support.Thune insists the goal is to force Democrats onto the record opposing these popular election integrity provisions, even as he acknowledges the bill faces certain defeat under current filibuster rules requiring 60 votes to advance.Trump has made the bill his top priority, threatening to withhold approval on other legislation until it reaches his desk in strong form, and has publicly pressed Thune to show leadership by pushing harder.Critics within the Republican base view Thune's approach as calculated theater: a symbolic vote that lets establishment Republicans claim effort while ensuring the status quo remains protected from real change.Thune has repeatedly stated that Senate Republicans lack the votes to eliminate or bypass the filibuster, whether through a "talking filibuster" or outright rule changes, citing potential long-term consequences.The SAVE America Act addresses concerns over noncitizen voting and election security, issues that have fueled distrust in the system since at least 2020.Observers note a pattern where Republican leaders in the Senate prioritize procedural norms and bipartisan optics over delivering on promises that energize the party's core voters.With midterms approaching in November 2026, failure to advance voter integrity measures could leave Republicans vulnerable to accusations of weak follow-through on a key issue.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/thune-sets-stage-for-save-america-act-collapse-as-uniparty-swamps-finger-pointing-status-quo-wins/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Americans Love What the Save America Act Would Deliver, so Why Can’t Republicans Get It Passed?

    The SAVE America Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections — a standard supported by approximately 80% of Americans across party lines. The bill passed the House with near-unanimous Republican support, and now holds 50 Senate votes — a simple majority — but is blocked by the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, requiring at least seven Democrats to cross the aisle. Senate Democrats are uniformly opposed, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer branding the bill "Jim Crow 2.0," while offering no serious engagement with the legislation's core principle that only citizens should vote in American elections. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has acknowledged the math problem bluntly, while conservative senators Mike Lee, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, and — in a notable reversal — John Cornyn have pushed aggressively for procedural solutions including a talking filibuster or rule changes. Opponents argue the bill creates unnecessary barriers for millions of Americans lacking documentation, but critics of that position note the same objectors routinely accept ID requirements for travel, firearms purchases, and government services without complaint. The article frames election integrity as both a constitutional imperative rooted in the Founders' vision of a citizen republic and a moral obligation grounded in Scripture, arguing that a nation unable to verify its own voters has abandoned basic just governance. The Senate Republican majority now faces a defining credibility test: use every available procedural tool to pass legislation the American people overwhelmingly support, or allow institutional inertia and Democratic obstruction to once again defeat common-sense reform.

  3. The New Ayatollah Is Worse Than His Father, so What Will President Trump Do Next?

    The New Ayatollah Is Worse Than His Father, so What Will President Trump Do Next?

    Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was named Iran's third Supreme Leader on March 8, 2026, just ten days after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.The Assembly of Experts announced his selection in a "decisive vote," though the process was marked by significant IRGC pressure and internal dissent among clerical members.Mojtaba holds only the mid-level clerical rank of hojjatoleslam — not ayatollah — a legitimacy issue his father resolved by having the law changed; a similar workaround is expected.President Trump openly called the selection "unacceptable," warned Mojtaba would "not last long" without U.S. approval, and characterized him as a "lightweight."Mojtaba has deep ties to the IRGC dating back to his service in the Iran-Iraq War, and is widely believed to have personally supervised the violent crackdown on Green Movement protesters in 2009.A year-long Bloomberg investigation revealed Mojtaba controls a global real estate and financial empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars, structured through shell companies and intermediaries across London, Dubai, and Europe.Analysts expect Mojtaba to be more hardline than his father, more reliant on the IRGC, and unlikely to pursue meaningful compromise with the West in the near term.Rread More: https://discernreport.com/what-to-know-about-new-ayatollah-mojtaba-khamenei/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    10 Ways John Cornyn Has Stabbed President Trump, MAGA, and America in the Back

    In this The Federalist article, the outlet outlines a series of decisions by Texas Sen. John Cornyn that critics argue put him at odds with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. The article lists ten instances where Cornyn allegedly sided with establishment Republicans or Democrats on issues that MAGA voters prioritized. One of the most prominent examples cited is Cornyn’s role in negotiating the 2022 bipartisan gun control package after the Uvalde shooting, which many conservatives opposed. The piece also highlights Cornyn’s support for large foreign aid packages and spending bills that critics say contradicted the fiscal restraint favored by many Trump supporters. Cornyn is accused of backing or defending Senate Republican leadership decisions that MAGA activists view as insufficiently aligned with Trump’s agenda. The article points to moments when Cornyn criticized Trump directly or appeared hesitant to support the former president during key political conflicts. It also notes Cornyn’s positions on immigration and border policy that critics say were weaker than the stricter enforcement approach promoted by Trump. The outlet argues that Cornyn represents the older “establishment” wing of the GOP that MAGA voters increasingly distrust. Supporters of Cornyn counter that his votes reflected pragmatic governance and the realities of legislating in the Senate.

    Comer Brings in More Big Names for Interviews in Epstein Probe but Is Anyone Ever Going to Jail

    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has called for seven high-profile individuals to appear before his panel for transcribed interviews related to their connections with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Among those summoned are Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Gateway, Inc. founder Ted Waitt, and private equity investor Leon Black, with proposed testimony dates scheduled between April and May. The remaining four called to appear are Kathryn Ruemmler, Lesley Groff, Sarah Kellen, and Doug Band.The move came on the same day Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the committee regarding his own ties to Epstein, after admitting he had lunch with the convicted sex offender in 2012. Chairman Comer has made clear that the Oversight Committee is committed to seeking the full truth — both for Epstein's survivors and for the American public.The probe represents a broader congressional push to map the extent of Epstein's powerful network and bring some measure of accountability to those connected to his crimes.However, as JD discusses on the latest episode of America First Report, it is deeply frustrating that meaningful consequences for those involved remain unlikely. Yet as he reminds listeners, even when earthly justice falls short, we can rest assured that a higher judgment awaits — and no one ultimately escapes accountability before God.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
