GUNMAN’S MANIFESTO IS ANTI-TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA COME TO LIFE. Like many a would-be killer before him, Cole Allen, the armed man who allegedly crashed into the White House correspondents’ dinner in hopes of killing President Donald Trump and top administration officials, wrote a manifesto explaining his actions. It wasn’t a crazy manifesto, like the Unabomber. It wasn’t […]
A former Secret Service agent said Sunday that the Trump administration should be “looking at” scaling back the number of Cabinet officials attending the same events after Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner in Washington. “Do we need to rethink the idea that we'd have a dozen people in the line...
The Justice Department (DOJ) on Sunday pressed the preservation group suing the White House over President Trump's ballroom project to drop the lawsuit in the wake of Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner.

TRUMP’S REMARKABLE POLLING STABILITY. A new poll from the New York Times finds that President Donald Trump has a job approval rating of 43% and a disapproval rating of 54%.

The spirit of hope sat uncomfortably beside the spirit of war at Charlie Kirk‘s memorial a couple of weeks ago. Dark screeds cloaked in Christian symbolism clashed with remarks of depth and grace, including Erika Kirk’s stirring call to forgiveness and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s eloquent summary of salvation history.

Is enforcing basic public decency laws homophobic? That’s what some prominent Democrats in New York City are claiming after federal law enforcement started cracking down on public sex, aka “cruising,” in Penn Station.
