President Trump announced Saturday he approved new fuel economy standards that eliminate an electric vehicle (EV) mandate introduced under the Biden administration. The 2024 EV mandate aimed to facilitate the transition from gas-powered to EVs by setting new pollution standards for automakers' vehicle fleets, which were intentionally difficult to meet without introducing new electric or...
Former Kennedy Center employees accused the iconic performing arts venue's leadership in a letter to Congress of halting planned waterproofing repairs earlier this year. In the Thursday letter, David Seide, an attorney representing the whistleblowers, shared internal documents which he said challenged the Kennedy Center board's claims that these leaks constituted the venue's immediate closure. ...
The Democratic Party doesn't want Harris put in a position of responsibility for this administration's disastrous record on the economy, inflation, wages, crime, the border and...
In the 24 days Kamala Harris has spent as first de facto and then the definitive Democratic presidential nominee since President Joe Biden withdrew from reelection, the vice president has sat down for zero interviews and publicly spoken to the press for a total of 70 seconds. During that minute-long gaggle after a Michigan rally […]
NIKKI HALEY AND LETTING TRUMP BE TRUMP.

Thirty-six years ago today, Republican presidential campaign manager Lee Atwater was in a ragingly foul mood as he awaited the next day’s start of the Republican National Convention.

You would think it does not need to be explained to universities that they can’t allow students to be blocked from classes based on their religion. If the University of California, Los Angeles, is any indication, you would be wrong. Three Jewish students sued UCLA after “pro-Palestinian” (read: Pro-Hamas) protesters blocked them from walking to […]
Back in May, President Joe Biden challenged former President Donald Trump to two debates. CNN would host the first on June 27, and the second by ABC News on Sept. 10.

In one of the final primary races of the 2024 cycle, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) avoided the ignominious fate of Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO) by easily winning renomination, allowing Congress’ left-wing “Squad” to heave a sigh of relief.
