Here’s another way to look at why Republicans swept the 2024 elections: It’s the fault, only partly of course, of the gerontocracy of the Democratic Party. Going back through history, it’s hard to find a time when a party’s leadership was so far along in years. The founder presidents retired in their mid-sixties. Andrew Jackson […]
ROCKVILLE, Maryland — Caroline, a black woman in her early 60s, has lived in Maryland her whole adult life. She calls herself an independent and says Republican Larry Hogan was a good governor.

In the Cabinet appointment that no one saw coming, President-elect Donald Trump has selected Fox and Friends co-host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense.

President Joe Biden served the United States well Wednesday by welcoming President-elect Donald Trump to the White House.

Four years ago, Trump used sporadic or otherwise unsubstantiated reports of voter fraud […]
President-elect Donald Trump has an opportunity to forge a foreign policy that strengthens America’s security for the coming decade.
