The Trump administration is paying $2.7 million to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool again, 10 weeks after the more than its $16 million renovation was completed.
Vice President J.D. Vance said Thursday that opposition to data centers stems from fears that the facilities powering the artificial-intelligence boom will overload the grid and raise electric bills.
Though voters elected Republicans to the House majority in the last congressional elections, since the start of Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) revolt against the speakership of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the GOP seems keen to give that majority away. And as former President Donald Trump cleans up in the nomination fight and aims for a White […]
When the composer Sergei Rachmaninoff left Russia with his wife and two daughters at the end of 1917, he left behind all his works except the recently revised Piano Concerto No. 1 and the vocal score for an opera called Monna Vanna, which he would never complete. He also left behind the family’s beloved country […]
Donald Trump’s presidency may have seen a good economy for most people, but his candidacy has the GOP in a financial sinkhole. The Republican National Committee’s 2023 fundraising numbers were its worst since 2013 and its worst adjusting for inflation since 1993. As it turns out, Trump-backed RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is just as bad […]
When former President Donald Trump walked into the headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Wednesday, he became the first Republican presidential candidate to have a real shot at the union’s endorsement in more than 30 years.

The more you think about it, the less that “logic” makes sense. The latest to parrot this line was Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb, who said on Tuesday, “We as a city […]
Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) candidacy for president of the United States lasted just shy of eight months. For the most part, he remained solidly in second place and was never a major threat to former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. None of the Republican candidates have been, at least according to the polls. Still, Trump […]
Please, people, can we all agree that the vandalization of a satanic statue is not a “hate crime”? Please? The already problematic modern prosecution of “hate crimes” reached a farcical level this week when a Navy veteran was charged with that offense for destroying a statue erected by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. The statue […]
By all accounts, El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is headed to a landslide reelection when the Central American nation holds its presidential election. The energetic 42-year-old president and self-described “philosopher king” has blazed a trail of success in his first term in office by all but eliminating the presence of violent gangs through aggressive crackdowns, […]
