Midterm elections head into the home stretch as candidates hit Labor Day events

Troy Jackson was a longtime labor activist and logger before he unexpectedly became the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine.

What next after messy, chaotic GOP debate?

WHAT NEXT AFTER MESSY, CHAOTIC GOP DEBATE? The Republican presidential race is a bunch of challengers chasing former President Donald Trump. The second debate of the campaign, held Wednesday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, was supposed to help clarify, and perhaps rerank, the status of those challengers. It didn't. Instead, it left the field of Trump's opponents in greater disarray than before.

The polling threshold for the next GOP debate is still too low

When the third GOP presidential debate takes place on Nov 8., the first primary contest will be two months away. That means only serious candidates should be on the stage, and that the Republican National Committee’s current polling threshold is still too low.

Armenia’s increasingly dire situation

In 1915, Armenia suffered a genocide that killed anywhere from 50% to 80% of its population. It then endured an occupation by the Soviet Union that lasted almost a century. Now, the unrecognized Armenian area of Nagorno-Karabakh has collapsed under Azerbaijani force of arms.

To be truly pro-life, the GOP must fix the childcare cliff

Republicans need to prioritize our border security over Ukraine’s

Freshman Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) gave an impassioned speech about the dire situation on the southern border on Wednesday, and she accurately blamed the crisis directly on President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

Why not Nikki Haley?

Of the Republican 2024 contenders, Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of South Carolina, sticks out for all the right reasons. Haley carries with her the kind of experience that is invaluable and not easily replicated. She has a focused, sober attitude, which is a refreshing contrast to the hysteria the country has been immersed in these past several years.

Second Republican debate devolved into lame ‘Survivor’-like game show loaded with reality-TV wannabes

But it was already too late: They all made themselves look like reality-TV wannabes just by showing up.

Pro-Joe Biden bias is algorithm-deep: Google’s search-&-destroy agenda

Second GOP debate: The circular firing squad that refuses to shoot

Moderator Dana Perino ended the second Republican presidential debate with perhaps the most crucial interrogation of all. After challenging the rest of the field with how they would beat the absent but overwhelmingly dominant front-runner, the Fox Business anchor asked the contenders to write, Survivor style, which candidate they would vote off the stage and out of the contest.

Republican debate: This was Tim Scott’s desperate last gasp

The second GOP presidential debate should be the end of the road for several of the non-entities on the stage. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) may be one of those, and it was clear early on that he knew this debate would be the last chance to save his campaign.
