AP Images Nikki Haley If a report at the DailyMail.com is true, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley hasn’t treated her husband and marriage as if they were sacred cows. The website dredged up confessions from a lobbyist and a campaign consultant that they shared more than political advice with the former South Carolina governor. And top South Carolina GOP sources...

LesDaMore/iStock/Getty Images Plus With the latest report from Axios, maybe open borders Republicans such as GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley and former President George W. Bush can dispense with the claim that Hispanic immigrants are, down to a man, “natural conservatives” with “good family values” because so many are pew-warming Catholics. Axios reports that American Hispanics are increasingly embracing the...

Luis Miguel American politics is in a unique condition, embroiled in the kind of political landscape that has generally been rare for the United States: In America today, much of the discourse and debate revolves around one single man: Donald J. Trump. While there are many hot-button issues and Trump engages with the majority of them, Trump himself has essentially...

Most of the world has watched the Israeli assault on Gaza in horror.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...
