Political Campaigning

inhauscreative/iStock/Getty Images Plus The “Left hates the Constitution and constitutionalism,” I wrote in 2018. And there’s a simple reason for this: “The Constitution is a conservative document.” Contrary to what most think, “conservative” above only means that the document serves to maintain a status quo. It limits the change the government can effect, and the Constitution itself is difficult to...

P_Wei/iStock/Getty Images Plus A new group called “Keep 9 Amendment” has been formed in an effort to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban left-wing attempts to increase the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. Disenchantment among the Left over some recent rulings from the Supreme Court, such as the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade,...

AP Images Blase Cupich delivering invocation at 2024 DNC Cardinal Blase Cupich, who delivered the invocation at this week’s Democratic National Convention (DNC), is under fire from traditional Catholics. In dish-watery remarks about “human dignity and liberty” and “our failures to root out ongoing injustices in our national life,” inside a convention celebrating abortions and vasectomies, Cupich failed to once...

AP Images Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced he is suspending his presidential campaign in swing states, and is supporting former President Donald Trump. Kennedy’s announcement comes after his presidential campaign faced ballot access attacks through lawsuits in multiple states, allegedly coordinated by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Kennedy stated he would suspend his campaign in swing...

AP Images Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suspended his presidential campaign today and endorsed former President Donald Trump. The former Democrat supports Trump because the Democratic Party has betrayed its ideals, Kennedy said, while Trump opposes neoconservative foreign adventurism, vowed to stop the war in Ukraine, and agreed with Kennedy on important public-health matters. ...

Politics In Chicago, the Blob Rules The same faces and same policies dominated foreign policy discussion at the DNC. “American politics has an occasion to match every mood: ceremony, circus, farce, melodrama, tragedy. Nothing rolls them together more opulently than a presidential convention.” So wrote the historian Arthur Schlesinger in 1965. Times have changed.  Sure, there were elements of the...

Stefanie Spear/X During an appearance with Tom Bilyeu on the Impact Theory podcast, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, spoke about attacks the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has coordinated against the Kennedy-Shanahan campaign. Rumor: Kennedy in Talks With Harris Campaign Bilyeu asked Shanahan about rumors Kennedy was in talks with both Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign...

Washington Post/X In an editorial that is partly honest, partly dishonest, and patently delusional, The Washington Post has finally confessed that President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline was obvious during his debate with Donald Trump on June 27. Yet the Post also claimed that Biden’s decision to quit the presidential race was “selfless,” even if he was removed from...

AP Images Day Three of the Democratic Convention wasn’t quite as bad as Days One and Two. Still, highlights abounded. Television star Oprah Winfrey mumbled something about a “childless cat lady”; Bill Clinton, strangely, bragged about being younger than Donald Trump”; and CNN’s Dana Bash admitted that vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and Douglas Emhoff, presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ emasculated husband,...

AP Images Tim Walz Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz has a strained relationship with the truth. During his first run for Congress, he lied to the public about his drunk-driving arrest in 1995. And he has falsely said he retired as a command sergeant major from the Minnesota National Guard. Now, he’s been called out for another falsehood, and it...

AP Images Michelle Obama The second night of the Democratic National Convention was not only almost too painful to watch, but also a reminder that Democrats completely lack the self-awareness that stops a person from uttering the ridiculous. Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said she would bring down the price of groceries as president — despite being vice president now....

AP Images The sniper who stopped Thomas Matthew Crooks from assassinating former President Trump on July 13 at a campaign event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, was not with the U.S. Secret Service. In his preliminary report to the House Bi-Partisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald Trump, GOP U.S. Representative Clay Higgins of Louisiana has revealed...

AP Images Kamala Harris is known among many for word salads, bizarre cackling, odd bodily movements during speeches and, in recent times, refusing to do press conferences and interviews. Most had chalked this behavior up to incompetence and lacking ability, too. But now another explanation has come to light: Harris, a rumor holds, has a serious alcohol problem. In fact,...

New York Post/X Leovando Moreno and Daniel Davon-Bonilla Three Biden “migrants” who were caught and released at the border are charged in connection with two rapes in the last two weeks. And as is customary, the city ignored a detainer that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed on one of the criminals, a Nicaraguan previously arrested for a sexual assault....

AP Images Lest you think our mainstream media are inveterate enemies of tradition, know that their opposition to it is selective. In fact, they now appear to want chivalry applied to female politicians, in the form of protecting them from negative social-media comments. “Don’t hit girls!” is what’s essentially being said. Perhaps coincidentally, too, this concern apparently arose after Kamala...

Foreign Affairs Why Did Washington Memory-hole Gaza? Suddenly a White House “priority”—getting aid to starving civilians—has vanished from the news cycle. Some are calling it Kamala Harris’s “Sister Souljah moment,” referring to when, in June 1992, then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton publicly rebuked racist comments made by a popular female hip-hop artist as a way of distancing himself from extreme elements...

AP Images Former President Donald Trump has agreed to participate in three debates with Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris and Trump have both agreed to participate in an ABC presidential debate on September 10, with Harris responding to Trump’s confirmation of the debate, stating on X, “I hear that Donald Trump has finally committed to debating me on September 10....

Pawel Kacperek/iStock/Getty Images Plus With narcissists being known for their stubborn refusal to apologize, some parenting advice gaining traction today could make a person wonder: Will narcissism be the wave of the future? Never Say I’m Sorry? After all, the child-rearing counsel in question holds that you should never tell your kid to say sorry. In fact, doing so, the...

AP Images Tim Walz Already beset by charges of stolen valor and abandoning National Guard troops under his command before deployment to Iraq and the resurrection of a drunk-driving charge, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faces new allegations that further embarrass Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president. The latest on the hard-left governor: Two reports say he’s bosom buddies with...

brebca/iStock/Getty Images Plus With the U.S. government now owing $35 trillion — plus trillions in unfunded liabilities — the Biden administration is spending more money it doesn’t have to spur production of “green” products Americans don’t want, specifically heat pumps. On Wednesday, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced it was handing out “nearly $85 million across four heat pump manufacturers...
