The Elitist Media Despise Black Conservatives
Black conservatives perennially face the slur that they’re “not really black” if they aren’t on the left. Not only that, they are tools of white racists if they dissent from the NAACP hard line. When the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn a racially gerrymandered congressional district in Louisiana, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, was outraged…Tim Graham -

Newsom’s Fatal Flaw: A Wife Who Radiates Coastal Contempt
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is positioning himself with characteristic flair for a national run in 2028, but at least one major obstacle stands in his way: his radical wife. Movie-star good looks, smooth delivery, and nearly a decade as California’s governor have made Newsom the early Democrat front-runner. He has spent the Trump years delivering fierce…Drew Allen -

Mamdani Has Already Run Out of Other People’s Money
New York City’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has already run out of other people’s money, and he’s only been in office for four months. Color me shocked. Mamdani announced in a press conference Wednesday that New York City faces a financial “crisis of historic magnitude” and asked the City Council for extended time to…Jarrett Stepman -

The Trump administration is proposing almost three dozen new rules to scale back gun regulations that proliferated during the Biden administration.

It’s Time for Democrats to Dial Down the Violent Talk
We all know what needs to happen for the nation to dial down the temperature of our political discourse—Democrats need to chill. Sadly, that’s unlikely to happen any time soon. Why would it? Before Saturday night’s foiled attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton, there were at least two known assassination attempts against President…Jenny Beth Martin -

The Biden Admin’s Anti-Christian Bias Was Even Worse Than You Think
Joe Biden’s presidency was even worse for Christians than you think, according to an exhaustive report from the Justice Department’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, published Thursday. The anti-Christian bias seeped into official policy across the federal government, from personnel matters—where Christians’ requests for time off around Easter Sunday were met with suspicion in…Tyler O’Neil -

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Daily Signal has obtained plans from a coalition of House Democrats showing it will push legislation to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour and “tax the rich” in an effort to strip “power and privilege” from “the wealthy and well‑connected” to advance “racial justice.” Reps.

Obama’s Telling Phrase After the Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting
Former President Barack Obama posted on X in response to the attempted shooting of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The post began with a familiar formula: “Although we don’t yet have all the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting…” And yet—almost instantly—the moral framing is already in place. It’s…Steve Cortes -

The California Governor Debate: ‘The Democrats Had No Solutions’
The California gubernatorial debate went exactly how you would expect. Democrats deflecting blame and rerunning the same tired talking points instead of offering real solutions to California’s mounting list of problems. Climate sermons from private jet flyers, tax the rich rhetoric from billionaires, and homelessness solutions from leaders of failed cities who still think more…Drew Allen -

The Triumph of Economic Freedom?
Prices rise. People blame capitalism. Politicians promise “solutions.” President Donald Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates. My socialist mayor wants to freeze rents. Elizabeth Warren wants politicians to decide what prices are “excessive.” So I was surprised to see economist Donald J. Boudreaux’s new book titled “The Triumph of Economic Freedom.” “Economic freedom…John Stossel -

Could Nevada Become a Red State?
Nevada has fewer registered Democrats today than in 2016. That’s one reason Nevada could be a red state within a decade. Nevada Republicans currently have a voter registration edge of more than 7,000 out of 2 million registered voters. That may not sound like much, but it’s their largest voter registration lead since 2006. Nevada has around 571,000 registered Republicans and a…Victor Joecks -

Nevertheless, leftists are constantly trying to convince us that we need government-run grocery stores. The latest person is New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has promised to open five city-run markets to…David Harsanyi -

Democrats Beclown Themselves by Defending SPLC Amid KKK Funding Scandal
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which makes its money by exaggerating “hate” to scare donors and by comparing conservatives to the Ku Klux Klan, was itself funding Klan members—and now major Democrats are beclowning themselves by defending it. Like a dog returns to its vomit, so Democrats return to the ridiculous claim that the SPLC…Tyler O’Neil -

Swalwell, Jungle Primaries, and Why California Politicians Are Far Left
Clarity about the California gubernatorial election hit me while watching candidate Eric Swalwell’s downfall and withdrawal over a sex scandal. What makes this shake-up so significant is the fact that California uses a “jungle primary” to determine the candidates who will be on the ballot come Election Day. A jungle primary is a nonpartisan primary election…Bruce Bialosky -
