Trump has floated the idea of sending dividends to the American people multiple times throughout his time in office, but his most recent proposal over the weekend...
President Trump’s out-of-the-blue federal pardons for Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and dozens of others who were part of his effort to stay in power after losing the 2020 election comes alongside the administration’s accelerating prosecution of Obama officials who Trump says tried to keep him from winning in 2016. Maybe that’s a claim of equivalence:...
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's insurgent campaign has driven a surge of younger Democratic candidates running for office and provided a roadmap for a new generation of politicians.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has become the target of progressive anger after moderate Democrats struck a deal to reopen the government, raising questions about his future atop the conference even as he distances himself from the agreement. Progressives, both those in the House and those running to join Schumer in the upper chamber,...
WINCHESTER, Virginia — The one thing that has been consistent in covering Virginia’s off-year statewide elections since as far back as the year Republicans George Allen and Jim Gilmore ran for governor and attorney general, respectively, in 1993 is that the races really don’t start moving until September. And when they do, they move fast. […]
Candace Owens has always courted controversy, but her behavior in recent years has repeatedly crossed the line. The media personality parted ways with Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire in March 2024 after her commentary grew increasingly antisemitic following the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel.

President Donald Trump‘s executive order providing Qatar with a de facto U.S. security guarantee is absurd when assessed against U.S. interests. Qatar is a U.S. ally, but only a nominal one. It circulates tens of billions of dollars a year to malevolent Sunni-Salafist political organizations. It allows too many Qatari citizens to fund terrorist groups […]

The United Kingdom has surrendered on every front to antisemitic terrorists.

A Syrian-born alleged terrorist named Jihad al Shamie allegedly drove his truck into a crowd at a synagogue in Manchester. He then began stabbing Jewish congregants […]
The government is shut down this week, but the rest of the world doesn’t pause or de-escalate for the sake of Capitol Hill. Last month, Russia fired more than 1,500 strike drones, 1,280 glide bombs, and 50 missiles at Ukraine, and NATO-member warplanes shot down several Russian drones over Poland — the first time the alliance […]
Through their touching messages of faith, freedom, and unity, young followers of Christ have captivated the public’s attention and marked themselves as the future of the conservative movement. “Every single person has a voice and a platform. Big or small, we have to use it,” 19-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand told the Washington Examiner. “Maybe it’s just […]
“New York is too expensive. Zohran will lower costs and make life easier.” That’s the soft sell on Zohran Mamdani‘s campaign website, a pitch tailored to a generation priced out of the American dream.
