The far-right Alternative for Germany party surged to a resounding victory in a regional election Sunday, but fell a little short of winning a majority in its quest to form the country's first far-right state government since World War II.
An armed assailant lunged at the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Amy Acton, on Sunday during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people, campaign officials said.
President Trump on Sunday posted a map of New Mexico labeled "New America" following the spread of a since-debunked online hoax claiming he had signed an executive order renaming the state. The map Trump shared on Truth Social showed a large "X" over "Mexico" in the state's name, with the word "America" labeled below it....
The FBI raided former national security adviser John Bolton‘s house on Friday. The associated investigation is believed to center on Bolton’s possible mishandling of classified information in relation to his 2020 book The Room Where It Happened, which is highly critical of President Donald Trump‘s first term conduct. Friday’s raid coincided with coordinated social media […]
Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, hit a home run earlier this week with his description of the nagging, rabid, toxic, and old demonstrators outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., protesting President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to combat crime in the district. Miller bluntly described these people, calling […]
ERIE — Few outside of those who live there understand what the county of Erie’s future holds for its economic future. Is it rural? A port? A city? A College town? A beach town? A faded Rust Belt hub for industrialization? Drive around the county and you’ll soon find that it is all those things. […]
Disney’s progressive ideology has alienated young men. The company now recognizes that its own franchises are toxic to that audience. Higher-ups at Walt Disney Studios are brainstorming ways to bring boys and young men, from the ages of 13-28, back into the studio’s audience. You would think that this wouldn’t be very difficult: Disney owns Marvel, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones, among other franchises […]
Is the U.S. government’s taking a 10% stake in semiconductor maker Intel a “creative idea” that has “never been done before,” as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently told the press? Hardly. Governments have been nationalizing industries since governments have existed. In virtually every instance, the state takes power under the auspices of a […]
President Donald Trump made an unexpected pivot earlier this week after his diplomatic outreach and foreign policy meetings to attempt to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Amid talks of ceasefires, sanctions, tariffs, and other war resolution possibilities, the president brought up the topic of mail-in voting, claiming it was a fraudulent voting method and should be […]
Two significant developments have just taken place in quick succession in a growing fight over whether America’s legal system is, or should be, a political weapon. New York’s appeals court threw out an absurd $527 million fine won in 2024 against Donald Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James for supposed financial fraud. The […]
If Ukraine decides to sign any peace deal ending its 3 1/2 year war with Russia, security guarantees will have to be included. Persuading Kyiv’s allies to offer those guarantees was one of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s key objectives when he met with President Donald Trump and European leaders at the White House this week […]
In 30 states and Washington, D.C., voters may declare a political party affiliation at the time of registration or change their affiliation at any point. Over time, shifts in these registration figures provide analysts with one of the most reliable indicators of trends in voter sentiment and political momentum. Drawing on data from the nonpartisan […]
Conservatives have always been more concerned than liberals about the health of American families. But as fertility sank again in 2024 to an all-time record low of 1.6 births per woman over a lifetime, even liberals have grown concerned that, as a nation, we are not meeting the 2.1 births needed to keep our population […]
It has been said for years since the COVID-19 pandemic, but it finally appears to have become true: Superhero movies, as presently constructed, are dead. Marvel has struggled since Avengers: Endgame wrapped up its decadelong narrative told over multiple films in a satisfying bow in 2019. Since then, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been cluttered […]
Sometimes the oddest developments make crystal clear a truth that should have been evident much earlier. The Minnesota Vikings, for a reason only the Minnesota Vikings can explain, hired two dudes to be cheerleaders. If you’re an old school football fan or a student of the college game, you might be picturing a guy wearing […]
“We’re gonna win so much,” President Donald Trump famously declared on the campaign trail in 2016, “that you may even get tired of winning.” Typical of Trump’s over-the-top hyperbole, the White House’s recently released framework for artificial intelligence promises so much winning. And, at least in this instance, the blueprint is a triumph — mostly. In “Winning […]
