One of the first questions we had after the assassination attempt on Trump almost two weeks ago was, “Why wasn’t Trump’s security detail using drones to get an overhead view of the location?”
You’ve heard the expression, “A little child shall lead them”? Well, it’s too bad that school officials and a federal judge in California (naturally) don’t have the sense that a first-grader does.
Tonight, President Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office, marking his first public appearance in well over a week, since he “got COVID,” then dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
If Kamala Harris is the Democrats’ nominee, Donald Trump immediately let it be known that he will not be any easier on her than he was on Joe Biden,
Do you remember when we said that if the Trump-Biden debate actually happened, it would be only as a deliberate set-up of Biden by his own party, to get him out of the race?
Monday’s hearing before the House Oversight Committee investigating the near-assassination of Donald Trump yielded only one useful benchmark.
Disgraced Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle did show up to warm a chair at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee Monday. She may not have dodged a subpoena, but she dodged even the most basic questions put to her about the attempted assassination of President Trump.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Monday about the massive security failure surrounding President Trump’s near-assassination.
How interesting it would have been to be a fly on the wall during President Trump’s alleged meeting with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Tuesday in Milwaukee. (She was there in an attempt to do damage control at the GOP Convention. It didn’t go well, as you saw yesterday.)
Donald Trump is a former top-rated reality show star, so he knows the PR value of the “Big Reveal.” After teasing it out for weeks, on Monday, he revealed that his Vice Presidential pick is…(drumroll)…Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, come on down!!
Last night was opening night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and I thought it came off quite impressively, and in some ways, surprisingly. While the night’s theme was “Make America Wealthy Again,” it could’ve easily been “Myth Busters” or “This Is Not Your Granddad’s GOP.”
The attempted assassination of President Trump on Saturday illustrates the need for the “72-hour rule” that we try to follow before coming to conclusions. This one will take longer than 72 hours, but at least there’s more to go on now, though it’s almost impossible to comprehend.
There has been so much news relating to the assassination attempt on former (and future) President Trump, and it’s still pouring in 24/7, that it’s impossible for us to cover it all here. So we’re just going to recap some of the major points.
With so much ground to cover on the attempted assassination of President Trump on Saturday, the focus here will be on the shocking failure of the Secret Service --- the agency, not Trump’s personal detail, which was stellar --- to protect him.
With a trained historian’s eye, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was right last night when he described Donald Trump's narrow escape from assassination as “providential.” The nation today should echo those sentiments because, by mere millimeters, America escaped the secondary explosions that certainly would have followed Trump’s murder.
Shots were fired at a Trump rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Former President Trump grabbed his ear and dropped behind the podium. Secret Service agents rushed to cover him and helped him to his feet. He left clutching his right ear, which appeared bloodied, and fist-pumped to the crowd as he was taken to a waiting car to rush him to a hospital.
It’s one of those leftist groups with an innocuous-sounding name that states the opposite of its actual agenda.
Did you SEE it? Gee, that’s the same question everybody was asking after the Trump-Biden debate a couple of weeks ago.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed an executive order to the Secretary of State to “take all necessary steps” to ensure that only US citizens can register to vote, in order to “protect election integrity, voter confidence and the sanctity of voting.”
Wednesday morning, the House Judiciary Committee released a shocking report on corporate collusion to silence conservative online news outlets and commentators by blocking their advertising revenue. Well, it was hardly shocking to me, but it confirmed a lot of my suspicions after doing my newsletter for years.
When former President Trump and President Biden let the question of which was more fit for office at their debate devolve into an argument over who was the best golfer, I thought it wasn’t exactly relatable to most viewers, but at least Biden was being coherent -- that is, if you knew the handicap that he kept mentioning referred to golf.
Not to spend a lot of time on the blow-by-blow account of Democrats coming together to, inevitably, take Biden out of the race (and maybe the Oval Office), but here’s one moment from Wednesday that’s oddly interesting: Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s expression of support for President Biden, as voiced on Jesse Watters’ FOX NEWS show.
I have loved the Oak Ridge Boys for decades. Who didn’t? They have been “America’s Band” since the 60’s and the current configuration has been together over 50 years. But this past year has been a tough one.
I was so saddened and surprised to hear of the death of Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma. He was a good friend who supported me from the earliest days of my political endeavors.
A federal judge sided with Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson and other plaintiffs, finding that the Biden Administration is in violation of the law by failing to enforce the Taylor Force Act.
On Tuesday, House and Senate Democrats held an “emergency” closed-door session on Capitol Hill, with tensions reportedly running high. It started with a sprightly group of singing nuns bounding to the stage and singing “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Joe Biden?”
I promised I wouldn’t cover all the rumbling over whether Biden will or won’t drop out of the race, but here are a few of the more interesting moments in that saga from Monday.
While most media outlets are suddenly obsessed with talking about Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities (something we already figured out long ago), and the Democrats are engaging in public catfights, Donald Trump and his campaign have wisely remained, for the most part, pretty quiet on this issue.
There’s a rule on the Internet called “Godwin’s Law” that states that the longer an argument goes on on the Internet, the more likely it is that one side will compare the other to Hitler.
Let’s just say it: We expect the Democrat Party to cheat like crazy in November. The only logical reason they would’ve worked so tirelessly to set up a system this vulnerable and this opaque is so they can cheat more easily, more undetectably, and on as large a scale as they might need. No other explanation makes sense.
I know that most Americans don’t have much interest in elections in other nations, but when our longtime allies France and Great Britain take a nosedive into the deep end of an empty pool by electing far-left governments, that bodes very badly not only for all of Europe but the entire world.
They lied when they told us Donald Trump was an agent of Vladimir Putin. They lied when, ahead of the 2020 election, they maintained that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
Well, we’re back from our brief vacation from the daily news! Did anything happen while we were gone? No, I’m only joking. My writers and I were VINOs: Vacationers In Name Only. We were supposed to be relaxing on a much-needed break, but we couldn’t resist constantly checking the news, if for no other reason than to watch the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) having a volcanic meltdown
Our president admits to being an old man who has slowed down a step or two. Ever since last week’s debate, most people understand that a Tele-prompter and fawning press munchkins are typical components of the Biden family repertoire. But does it really make any difference?
Well, I know many people were watching the debate to see if President Biden would have a “senior moment,” but I don’t think anyone was expecting he’d have one that lasted 90 minutes.
Inextricable linkages are defined as something that is impossible to unravel or separate from something else. In yesterday’s world, there was an inextricable link between the United States and being an American.
I don’t make predictions very often because in most situations there are just too many unknowns. But for at least three years, I have been absolutely convinced that Joe Biden wouldn’t be the nominee for President in 2024 and that the Democrats had a plan to replace him on the ticket with someone who is not Kamala Harris.
There were a lot of races, but three were of particular interest.
There is virtually no chance that Wednesday’s exclusive, hard-hitting story by Paul Sperry of Real Clear Investigations will make it past the CNN censors supervising Thursday night’s presidential debate. That is a shame because Sperry’s revelations suggest nothing less than that the American intelligence establishment helped Democrats to lie during the most critical periods during the presidential electoral campaigns of 2016 and 2020.
Biden is not only losing support among women and minorities, but also among one of their most reliable voting blocs: young voters whose brains haven’t fully matured and who haven’t gone out into the real world and started paying taxes yet.
The best part of the upcoming debate for President Biden is that he can’t wait to call former President Trump a convicted felon.
It’s very telling that one of the biggest news bombshells of the weekend was that a liberal “fact-checking” site actually told the truth about Trump, only seven years after the lie in question became one of the biggest stories in the media, and after seven long years of us repeatedly correcting it.
Fox News reports that billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has donated $20 million to reelect Joe Biden.
With the so-called “classified documents” trial against Trump paused for several months, and as we wait for a Supreme Court decision on the extent of presidential immunity, this seems like a good time to take a comprehensive look at Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel and whether it was even legitimate in the first place.
When I survey the smoking rubble that is the Biden Administration, I often marvel at polls showing that millions of Americans want four more years of this.
The New York Court of Appeals refused former President Trump’s request to lift the gag order put on him by Judge Juan Merchan, ruling that "no substantial constitutional question is directly involved."
I try not to get too thick into the weeds on COVID stories, but like the tragic Afghanistan pullout, it’s a story the media would love for us to forget and we absolutely cannot allow that to happen.
New York Magazine is justifiably getting raked over the coals for a clueless cover story questioning how women could be Republicans.
Perhaps only the more engaged right-leaning voters will even see this story, and it’s not one of those “pocketbook” issues, but it’s concerning because it adds a couple more notches to the belt of our corrupt “justice” system as it continues overseeing its own power.
Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, is currently serving prison time after being convicted of defrauding a Native American tribe in a bond scheme.
As reported by an approving NEW YORK TIMES, a new Biden campaign ad says, “This election is between a convicted criminal who is only out for himself and a President who is fighting for your family.”
If the recent news that Israeli forces rescued four Hamas hostages who were being held in the homes of a doctor and a “journalist” didn’t crack the bubble of delusion around American pro-Palestinian protesters, I doubt this will, either, but here goes:
As Trump rises in the polls, we’re hearing more and more hysteria about his reelection equaling a far-right dictatorship, even though he already served a term during which there were no gulags for journalists or illegal alien concentration camps.
Last week, we discussed the options Congress has for dealing with Attorney General Merrick Garland after his refusal to turn over the audio recording of the special counsel’s interview with President Biden in his “classified documents” case.
Last week, we discussed the options Congress has for dealing with Attorney General Merrick Garland after his refusal to turn over the audio recording of the special counsel’s interview with President Biden in his “classified documents” case.
Sanity is returning, just in time for the election. Last week, a federal judge in Louisiana blocked the Biden Administration’s attempt to rewrite the Title IX sex discrimination law to include “gender identity,” allowing men who claim to “identify” as women to enter women’s sports, locker rooms and restrooms.
We’ve just seen that the DOJ refuses to prosecute Merrick Garland on contempt of Congress charges for not turning over the audio of President Biden’s testimony in his “classified documents” case being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Hur. So it should come as no surprise that they demonstrate essentially no interest in the killing of Little Rock Airport executive Bryan Malinowski in March of this year...
Former President Donald Trump gave an interview to pro wrestler and popular podcaster Logan Paul, and it went over so well, James Carville would be pulling his hair out if he had any left.
Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland has been acting as if he were above the law and now is shocked to see he’s beneath our contempt.
By now you’ve seen the video of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, taken by daughter Alexandra as they were being driven away from the Capitol on January 6, in which she laments not being adequately prepared and takes responsibility for that.
Maybe because it’s an election year, nothing happens now without being seen as part of the larger political narrative. And when Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict came down on Tuesday morning, it was about so much more than whether or not Hunter actually is guilty.
A clip of video provided by HBO to congressional investigators, showing then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting responsibility for what happened on January 6, raises some serious questions.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys took our advice (kidding) and decided not to put him on the stand Monday, resting their case instead. This “lying on a federal gun purchase form” case is already with the jury, who completed the rest of the day, only about one hour, in deliberations. They’ll be back Tuesday at 9AM Eastern Time to continue.
By the time you’ve read this, we may know whether or not Hunter will take the stand in his trial. Presumably, Abbe Lowell will earn his $1,000 an hour by pulling something else out of his hat to get jury sympathy. But not that.
Today commemorates the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the biggest seaborne invasion in history and likely the most complex military operation of all time. Somehow, a massive invasion involving over 300,000 troops was kept secret until the moment it began on the beaches of Normandy.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and (again) showed himself to be a worthless political hack who specializes in avoiding transparency.
If you thought the Manhattan “falsified records” trial of President Trump got into some uncomfortable territory, Hunter Biden’s trial on gun charges before Judge Maryellen Noreika is an R-rated soap opera, with wife, ex-wife, girlfriends, mom and sister all in the courtroom.
Lest we forget, President Trump is hardly the first or only victim of the Democrats’ weaponization of the justice system.
On Monday, a jury was seated in Wilmington, Delaware, for Hunter Biden’s long-delayed trial on gun charges, with Judge Maryellen Noreika presiding.
After issuing a flurry of border orders that undid Trump’s border security measures and set off an unprecedented invasion of illegal aliens…and then claiming for three years that he was powerless to do anything about the border unless Congress passed the border bill that he wanted…
Sunday in Philadelphia, in what some conservatives are calling an “intersectional free-for-all,” leftist pro-Palestine protesters blocked the route of a Gay Pride Month Parade.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was questioned by the House Select Subcommittee for the Coronavirus Pandemic Monday, and the results were about as expected:
Thursday, May 30th, 2024, was a profound shock to the American legal and political systems when former President Donald Trump was found guilty of something - but exactly what remains something of a mystery.
Thursday, in a major win for free speech over government coercion and “debanking,” the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a lower court ruling.
The Israeli military announced that it has established “operational control” over the entire so-called Philadelphi Route on the Gaza-Egypt border, discovering dozens of rocket launchers and at least 20 cross-border smuggling tunnels.
We haven’t reported much on the kerfuffle over what flag Justice Samuel Alito flew at his house nearly four years ago because we assumed it was a load of hysterical codswallop ginned up by Democrats desperate to remove a conservative from the Supreme Court by any means necessary.
A new New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer poll found that 87% of Republicans support Trump while only 76% of Democrats support Biden.
The recent arrest of two illegal alien Jordanian nationals near Quantico Marine Base is finally waking Americans up to the dangers of the flood of unvetted illegal immigrants over Biden’s open border. Now, illegal immigration is so bad, it’s even scaring illegal immigrants!
Tuesday, Judge Juan Merchan’s court in the trial of President Trump for allegedly “falsifying records” for payments to Michael Cohen is back in session, after the judge gave the jury a week off to go home and hear non-stop from Manhattan friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and social media contacts how much they hate Trump and how great it would be if he were in jail.
Memorial Day has become known as the unofficial start of summer, and Americans are more than ready to hit the beaches and parks to celebrate. But let’s not forget that Memorial Day means far more than that.
Today is a special day for me. Today, May 25 commemorates 50 years of marriage for my wife Janet and me. We were married May 25, 1974, after our first year of college. We were both 18—a couple of months shy of our 19th birthdays which would be in July and August.
What do you call a snake who works for the government? A civil serpent, haha. Actually, our government has been full of snakes for quite some time, and they threw a hissy fit (get it?) at the prospect of Donald Trump coming to the White House.
In calling former Michael Cohen legal advisor Robert Costello to testify --- they took our advice, haha --- Trump’s attorneys not only showed the jury he’s the most credible witness in this whole trial, but also, through the judge’s conduct, signaled to them how biased this courtroom is.
Although this is graduation week at Harvard, the nation’s attention is properly focused elsewhere. In New York, the Trump trial grabs every headline. It is as if “My Cousin Vinny” is being re-shot in Joe Pesci’s old neighborhoods with an even dumber presiding judge.
Leftwing activists love to describe themselves as “progressive” and “pro-science,” but when the science doesn’t go their way, they react like angry villagers burning down Dr. Frankenstein’s lab.
Now that President Trump’s son Barron has had his high school graduation and Judge Juan Merchan’s Manhattan court is back in session, it looks as though things are only going to get worse for the prosecution. It’s really too bad for “our democracy” (using the term facetiously) that this embarrassing travesty of justice isn’t being televised for all to see.
The protesters demanded divestment from Israel, but the chancellor admitted that was not permissible.
The shocking betrayal of our ally Israel by President Biden in announcing that the US would not deliver already agreed upon weapons to Israel in their fight for survival has caused even some responsible Democrats to finally break with Biden and his disastrous and double-dealing policies.
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s method of funding, which doesn’t require it to go through the annual appropriations process, is constitutional.
The forced compliance to racist and Marxist DEI programs is finally starting to crumble and fall.
The Democrats are so nervous about their upcoming convention in Chicago being a repeat of the riot-torn 1968 Convention that they are grasping at any straws to prevent it becoming a PR disaster.
The presidential candidates may be chosen already, but primaries for state and local races are still going on. Tuesday, primary elections were held in Maryland, Nebraska, West Virginia and the 13th District of North Carolina. Redstate.com has regularly-updated news and vote totals on the major races.
I have often made reference to some of the things the Democratic Party rails against and tries to blame on Republicans or say that we want to bring back, when they were actually Democrat ideas that the Republicans fought against.
In a time when so much of the news is so upsetting, we should give thanks to some of the snowflake jihadi of the Infant-ada on America’s campuses, who have been so indulged by their parents and schools for their entire lives that they don’t even realize how hilarious some of their “demands” are.
Laura Ingraham did get to go inside the dingy, uncomfortable courtroom for Day 2 of “star witness” Michael Cohen’s testimony Tuesday, and she said he impressed her as “a well-rehearsed dunderhead.”
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is allegedly the “leading authority in the field of gender medicine” (I’m assuming that was a self-anointed title, like Michael Jackson declaring himself the “King of Pop.”) It was their “guidance” that was used by the radical trans movement to push barbaric quackery onto confused children over their parents' objections.
