In the span of three days, former Vice President Dick Cheney died, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced her retirement from the House. Rarely does one era yield to another with such brute cohesion. The post-Watergate dramas of American politics course through this trio, culminating […]
BRISTOL, Pennsylvania — Both Democrats and Republicans know if you want to win a statewide election in Pennsylvania, whether you are running for president, U.S. Senate, or governor, winning Bucks County is right up there with winning Erie County in terms of locking up the numbers to secure the state. It was a county that […]
The rise of socialist Zohran Mamdani is concerning for many reasons. None less than that numerous establishment Democrats endorsed the candidacy of an extremist. But the praise of Mamdani’s political powers seems odd considering how weak his victory was. No one in their right mind would contend that Kamala Harris is the future of the […]
The Democrats who run Portland can whine all they want about President Donald Trump’s characterization of their community, but there is no doubt that it remains a failing city where things continue to fall apart at the seams. Portland police say the city is seeing a surge in copper wire thefts, which have resulted in more than […]
Russian forces are struggling to fully encircle Ukrainian forces in Pokrovsk. While heavily outnumbering their Ukrainian counterparts, they have been unable to cut off the defenders’ northern supply lines and totally besiege them.

Democrats were quick to claim Tuesday’s election results as a resounding victory, indicating that Americans are dissatisfied with President Donald Trump. Such a claim is a vast oversimplification, lacking substantial grounding in reality. It’s typical Democratic performative antics and hyperbole. Sure, there may be some warning signs of voter contempt for Trump and Republicans. But […]
If you’ve lingered on social media long enough, you’ve probably met the new prophets of paranoia. Their sermons range from Tucker Carlson’s cabal of hummus eaters to Candace Owens’s theory that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent, to COVID-19 vaccines laced with mind control. Conspiracies aren’t new, but in an age where outrage is monetized […]
A plethora of conservative media outlets, social media stars, and consultants and fundraisers around the country say California is a lost cause, all while relying on donors and subscribers in the state for their businesses to operate. Maybe I’m jaded, as I’ve sat in green rooms with some of these types as they lambasted my […]
Republicans lost gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday. Well, lost is quite an understatement. The Republican candidates got thumped. In Virginia, Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) defeated Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, and in New Jersey, Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. Even Democratic […]
The results in Tuesday’s mayoral election should be a wake-up call for New York Republicans. Their candidate, Curtis Sliwa, failed even to break double...
President Donald Trump declared Friday that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” and designated Nigeria “a country of particular concern.” Such attention to the plight of Christians in Nigeria is decades overdue. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s staff has been working for several months on a Horn of Africa strategy that grew out […]
