Political Campaigning

Most of the world has watched the Israeli assault on Gaza in horror. As tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced, tens of millions of people around the world have poured onto the streets to demand an end to the violence. But a few select others have taken to the pages of our most influential media to demand...

AP Images A Maine Superior Court judge issued a stay on the decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows to block former President Donald Trump from the Maine GOP primary ballot. Justice Michaela Murphy denied Trump’s appeal of Bellows decision, and also stayed Bellow’s decision to remove him from the Maine ballot. Murphy wrote in her decision that she...

If you think our elections are safe from non-citizens voting, think again. An unprecedented move by Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes just opened the way for non-citizens—legal or otherwise—to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 election. That includes Arizona’s Republican primary in March, meaning the same illegal aliens flooding across our open border could vote...

AP Images Asa Hutchinson Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson dropped out of the GOP presidential race today after receiving only 191 votes — 0.2 percent of the Iowa caucus vote. In his statement, he congratulated former President Donald Trump, saying, “I congratulate Donald J. Trump for his win last night in Iowa and to the other candidates who competed and...

AP Images In yesterday’ Iowa caucus, Trump walked away with 51 percent of the vote. He left his two main opponents, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley far enough behind that they must be wondering how long to continue. A third contender, Vivek Ramaswamy, wonders no more. He quit the race and endorsed Trump. Given...

YouTube Gonzalo Lira The U.S.-backed dictatorship in Ukraine has apparently murdered American commentator Gonzalo Lira because he told the truth about the war against Russia. Lira, his backers say, died of medical neglect in a Ukrainian prison. That is what he predicted in a video he made when he tried to flee the country and claim asylum in Hungary. BREAKING:...

Aerial_Views/iStock/Getty Images Plus “It’s more complicated when it’s about your own children,” said a NYC liberal in 2015 about a diversity plan affecting his kids’ school. Now a Democratic legislator in the Big Apple perhaps could echo that sentiment after her daughter was kicked out of school — to make room for Joe Biden’s migrants. In fact, states Assemblywoman Jaime...

da-kuk/iStock/Getty Images Plus The history of presidential campaigns is replete with dirty tricks, from 1856 claims that James Buchanan’s palsy-induced head tilt was the result of his trying to hang himself to the 2004 Killian documents fraud and beyond. But the advent of artificial intelligence and “deepfake” video and audio can take dirty tricks to a whole new level —...

AP Images John Kirby The flow of U.S. military aid to Kyiv has stopped, White House national security spokesman John Kirby admitted on January 11 amid a debate in Congress on whether to continue support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.  “We have issued the last drawdown package that we had funding to support, and that’s why it’s critical...

AP Images The GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week whether to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before Congress, pursuant to duly-issued subpoenas, about his and his father’s business activities. Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s announcement comes two days after the House Oversight and Judiciary committees voted to hold Boy Biden in contempt....

AP Images The U.S. House Judiciary and Oversight committees held Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress today for refusing to testify weeks ago after receiving a subpoena. The Judiciary party-line vote was 23-14; Oversight’s was 25-11. The votes send the motion to the full House. Neither was a surprise.  🚨 #NEWS: The House Judiciary Committee approved the resolution to hold...

Twitter/X The National Park Service has scrapped its plan to remove a statue of William Penn from Welcome Park in Philadelphia. NPS’s release suggest that it never really had a such plan, and that whoever posted the news that the statue of Pennsylvania’s founder was coming down, to be replaced with “Native American” hokum, did so “prematurely.” That’s bureaucratese for...

DUBAI — Throughout the UN COP28 climate summit, Western governments, including the Biden administration, pledged to hand over more and more billions in new taxpayer funding for climate “reparations” and a “Green Climate Fund” aimed at bringing regimes ruling poorer countries to heel, among other schemes. But self-proclaimed world leaders made clear that this is just the start. Ultimately, global...

AP Images Hunter Biden Two U.S. House committees will vote on January 10 on a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress. In December, Biden refused to appear at a closed-door hearing and answer questions pertinent to the House’s impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. Yesterday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and House Judiciary Committee released their...

After winning re-election 20 years ago, President George W. Bush wasted his political capital on a wild goose chase to partially privatize Social Security, an issue seldom discussed during the campaign. The more he pitched the concept during the early months of 2005, the less the public bought in. Nor could Dubya secure enough support from his enlarged majorities in...

AP Images Mike Johnson Taking a step toward avoiding a potential government shutdown in the next few weeks, House and Senate leaders on Sunday announced they had reached a $1.590 trillion top-line spending deal for government funding in 2024. The agreement is designed to allow lawmakers to now focus on approving 12 appropriations bills.  The Epoch Times reported that House...

AP Images Soviet-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff used to tell a joke about choice in the USSR. “In Soviet Union, there are two television stations,” he said (I’m paraphrasing). “Channel One is government propaganda.” Channel Two is a man wagging his finger and sternly saying, “Turn back to Channel One!” With respect to elections, Western pseudo-elites today do aim to offer...

NIAID/flickr New revelations have intensified the debate surrounding the origins of Covid-19 and the role of the United States government in it. Documents obtained by Freedom of Information campaigners suggest that Shi Zhengli, the senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) known as “Batwoman,” held a secretive meeting with officials at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)...

Selwyn Duke When a child isn’t punished for throwing a tantrum and instead gets his way, he repeats the behavior in the future. So it will be with the Left, too, should Donald Trump win the presidency this year. Having gotten away with roiling the country in 2020 and driving him from office (by hook and crook), writes commentator Rich...

AP Images Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador In American politics today, much noise is made about the subject of foreign interference. While the Left has often hijacked the phrase to promote their conspiracy theories about Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia, real foreign interference is taking place — and many Democrats even cheer it on. Mexico’s leftist president, Andres Manuel Lopez...
