New Jersey's governor on Thursday called on the state's lieutenant governor, Dale Caldwell, to resign by Friday after a law firm hired by her office concluded he violated the state's ethics and discrimination rules.
TRUMP, THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, CONGRESS, AND THE WAR. In 2002, in the run-up to the war in Iraq, President George W. Bush went through a long and elaborate process to secure the approval of Congress for going to war. On Oct. 10, 2002, the House passed an Authorization for the Use of Military Force by a […]
Chukwunonso Eze entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2015 and received deferred action under both Biden and Trump before he allegedly killed a UMass Dartmouth football player.
National Review’s Andrew McCarthy dumps on talk of an “outrageous recess-appointment scheme” to let President Trump “install any unconfirmable nominees, such as Matt Gaetz.”
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has sided with the campaign of Republican businessman Dave McCormick in ordering an immediate end to the deliberately unlawful vote-counting efforts of local officials counting votes in McCormick’s hotly contested U.S. Senate race. Openly flouting a clear, earlier ruling of the state high court, officials in four counties had been tabulating […]
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently quit his job for a position he seems unlikely to get. The pro-Trump congressman resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives last week after President-elect Donald Trump nominated him to be the next attorney general. He may be looking forward to his new position, but he just set himself up to be […]
President-elect Donald Trump will have the unique opportunity to appoint up to two members to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Doubtless economists will debate the technical qualifications of prospective nominees, but such deliberation will be fruitless without major institutional reforms. To fix perpetual monetary mismanagement, we need a system where strict rules, not the […]
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's pic for Secretary of Defense, is committed to refocusing the military on its primary mission: readiness and defense — and...
More than 1,100 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border but just 24 miles north of Mexico’s border with Guatemala, a gleaming new mall is set to be completed next month that will become just one node in a vast network of over a hundred facilities across Central and South America, all designed to make it […]
Pennsylvania Democrats are trying to steal an election, and Democratic leaders have been completely silent about this fact. Two of Bucks County’s three commissioners voted to count ineligible ballots against the advice of the board’s legal team after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court made it clear that those ballots were not to be counted. As Commissioner […]
Earlier this year, my company, BASED Politics, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its pending TikTok ban. The ban is a tremendous attack on the free speech rights of content creators, including us, who use this app to voice our opinions and help educate people about prominent public policies and political ideologies. Obviously, […]
It took strategic novelty to inaugurate political novelty. President-elect Donald Trump won reelection in large part thanks to the votes of unmarried men who chose him over Vice President Kamala Harris 49%-47% this year, compared to 2020 when President Joe Biden won unmarried men 52%-45%. Trump’s campaign strategy focused on low-propensity voters, and it proved […]
Former Senate candidate Rick Taylor’s aunt inquired about his Thanksgiving plans last week. “[S]he mentioned she voted for Trump,” Taylor said. “I told her my home is not open to traitors, and I would not go to theirs.” Taylor’s comment exemplifies a phenomenon statistician Nate Silver discusses in his postelection analysis. Silver, arguably the most […]
COLUMBIANA, Ohio — Heading into Election Day two weeks ago, the Ohio race between Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Republican challenger Bernie Moreno was technically neck and neck, with Moreno having an average lead of 0.8 percentage points. Moreno, joined by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), stopped in this picturesque Columbiana County town before speaking at […]
Just eight months after the Biden administration successfully blocked a merger between Spirit Airlines and JetBlue, the former filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, necessitating its delisting from the New York Stock Exchange and wiping out tens of millions of dollars of shareholder value. Should Spirit’s restructuring fail and the budget airline exit the market altogether, […]
