For a horror movie derived from a concept as singularly contemporary as an internet myth, A24’s Backrooms is grounded in a mourning for lost things that could only be called conservative. Like its foundational web-based myth — which, as far as I can tell from my position as one relatively estranged from internet subcultures, refers […]
In yet another sign of the vibe shift, cops in Washington, D.C., have begun hauling riders off of city buses for skipping the fare. Back in the Woke Era (2014 to 2024), fare evasion was nearly a cause celebre. The history of this period needs to be recalled regularly lest tomorrow’s liberals claim it never […]
Before Roe v. Wade was overturned, the pro-life movement’s strategy was to challenge the 1973 ruling in the courts.

While the results of the marquee primary contests in California are still unknown — and may remain unknown, if history is any guide, for weeks — there is one thing we know for sure: California’s entire election system is rigged, and, as a result, California’s elections will not be fair and secure until changes are […]
Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico is no stranger to shocking and frankly, ridiculous statements. Talarico and his campaign have been riddled with far-left talking points and policy proposals that are out of step with everyday Texans. If elected, Sen. Talarico would send Texas careening toward California levels of woke madness. Talarico has fought for the […]
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is backing off a push to dedicate a Texas highway after President Trump, signaling that it may no longer be high on his priority list following his defeat in last month’s GOP Senate primary runoff. Cornyn introduced legislation in May to rename U.S. Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of...
Tensions are rising between President Trump and Senate Republicans, and their disagreements spilled into public view this week when GOP senators repeatedly used amendment votes on a $70 billion budget reconciliation bill to create distance from the president. Three Republican senators facing tough races in November — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), John Husted (Ohio) and...
President Trump upended expectations yet again when he told reporters Thursday that he would be “honored” to meet Iran’s supreme leader in the event of a peace deal. “If we make a deal, it’s possible that I would meet him,” the president said in the Oval Office. The idea of a meeting between Trump and...
Republicans in Congress are staring down a busy to-do list now that they’re nearing the end of the arduous process to fund immigration enforcement agencies. But they’re keenly aware that time to legislate is quickly running down before the upcoming midterm elections, even as they know that accomplishing GOP priorities is crucial to keeping their...
President Trump’s focus on repair and beautification projects around Washington, D.C., risks backfiring on Republicans ahead of the midterms as the issue of affordability takes center stage across the country. Just this week, Trump began an unrelated executive order signing and an energy announcement in the Oval Office talking about the completion of repairs of...
President Donald Trump grants full pardon to former Rep. Stephen Buyer, absolving his 2023 insider trading conviction that prompted a 22-month prison sentence.
Trump says he instructed acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte to begin shrinking the office, calling it unnecessary and too big with holdovers from past terms.
