AP Images Kathy Hochul City and state leaders in New York are wading into harsh measures to combat the rising migrant crisis, which has become both a focal point and a breaking point for the Empire State’s politics. In an about-face for Democrats in the state, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul has now thrown her support behind New York City Mayor...

In recent weeks, the health struggles of American political veterans have reignited discussion about the age of elected officials and their ability to serve. Voters are increasingly concerned about how old those who work at passing laws and imposing regulations on Americans are. Though there is no age limit for members of Congress, close to 20 representatives from both parties...

Everyone is aware that Donald Trump, with several pending court cases, may take advantage of this situation: namely, the “allegation” launched by Kevin McCarthy, in order to make the false equivalence that they are “both” in legal trouble. Just hours before announcing the impeachment process against Joe Biden, some Republicans were already looking glum. “The time for impeachment is the...

*Editor’s note: On March 4, 2022, Russia enacted a law that criminalizes public opposition to, or independent news reporting about, the war in Ukraine. The law makes it a crime to call the war a “war” rather than a “special military operation” on social media or in a news article or broadcast. The law is understood to penalize any language...

Selwyn Duke The sun set on the British Empire long ago. Now China is setting on it, too. For while poet Rudyard Kipling famously observed that “East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” Beijing and Britain are meeting — on U.K. soil — with the Chinese as conquerors. So laments The Telegraph’s Sherelle Jacobs,...

Donald Trump, who described himself as “very pro-choice” on Meet the Press in 1999, came almost full circle on the same program this weekend. He called Florida’s ban on abortions after six weeks “a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.” He talked of brokering a compromise between the pro-lifers and pro-choicers to craft a federal law leaving both sides pleased, a scenario as outlandish as...

LaTarndra Strong/Facebook LaTarndra Strong LaTarndra Strong could do no wrong. Though she had a checkered past, the 55-year-old North Carolinian was elevated to prominent-leftist-activist status: She became president of an NAACP chapter, was given awards and plaudits, was invited to give talks and influence educational policy, became part of the impetus behind the renaming of schools, and is even part...

A disconnected and confused Joe Biden enjoys favorable media, and Donald Trump is carried along by waves of supporters despite the indictments he faces. The status of American politics continues to deteriorate. The presidential election season has started in the United States and it can be said, sadly, that the collapse of governmental and political norms is not only apparent...

The impeachment would be forwarded to the Senate, where the Republican minority, and perhaps not all of its members, is likely to vote in favor even though it knows the Democratic majority will reject the charges. Another technicality. The decision by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to initiate the impeachment of President Joe Biden is more of a move to...

Shaan Hurley/flickr Is America past the breaking point in the migrant crisis? One Border Patrol sector in Arizona is in a state of upheaval, with agents receiving the go-ahead to allow migrants out onto the streets in the face of overcrowded detainment facilities filled to capacity. According to Fox News, the Tucson sector has experienced 2,000 illegal border crossings per...

True to his reputation of being a compassionate man, President Joe Biden phoned Mitch McConnell after his most recent momentary paralysis: For the second time in five weeks, the Senate Republican leader, one of the most influential elected officials in Washington, D.C., froze in front of reporters last Wednesday and remained in worrying silence for more than 10 seconds. Referring...

AP Images Rep. Dan Crenshaw The hawkish wing of the Republican Party isn’t backing down from its hopes of involving the United States in a new, long-term foreign military conflict. Spurred by the heightened emotion surrounding two of the most hot-button issues today — the migrant and drug crises — some in the GOP see an opening for directing the...

David Urias, a district judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico, nominated by Joe Biden two years...

The U.S. risks a presidential battle of two contenders with a combined age of 160 years. “I’m 198 years old,” said Joe Biden at the beginning of this year, attempting to yet again turn his age from a political topic into a joke. The results are mixed — a year before the November 2024 presidential election the current president looks...

adamkaz/iStock/Getty Images Plus Perhaps Democrat David Archie didn’t get the party memo: Our elections are “free and fair” and there is no vote fraud. And anyone claiming otherwise is a “threat to democracy.” The only thing is, though, that Archie, county supervisor in Hinds County, Mississippi, says he has video evidence. As The Gateway Pundit reported, “Archie held a press...

rawpixel New York City Mayor Eric Adams has thrown in the towel and lost hope, as his “sanctuary city” can no longer endure the effects of the massive influx of illegal aliens that he declares will destroy the city. Adams made his dire prediction at a town hall meeting on Wednesday, according to Fox News, stating:   “Let me tell you...

It will happen this Thursday or Friday, when former U.S. President Donald Trump voluntarily surrenders to authorities in Georgia. It will just be symbolic, and only for a few minutes. It will happen...

Magryt/iStock/Getty Images Plus The Biden administration has proposed a regulation that would require employers to grant their employees time off to get abortions even if doing so violates an employer’s religious beliefs. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), passed as part of last year’s omnibus spending bill, mandates that employers with more than 15 workers provide “reasonable accommodations” for an...

Sefa kart/iStock/Getty Images Plus When it comes to abortion, the left-wing establishment no longer has any hesitation about saying the quiet part out loud. One of the common talking points among the Left to sell their pro-abortion stance to the masses is that they “don’t really” support unlimited abortion as the Right claims. Often, abortion activists call for “reasonable” abortion...
