With the election less than four months away, a lot can happen, but Rep. Andy Ogles says he’s confident Republicans can win back the presidency and the Senate, and retain control of the House in November. “And as Republicans, we’re going to win the White House. They’re going to win the Senate. We’re going to…
In a major setback for President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, the federal judge overseeing the criminal case brought by special counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump for willful and unlawful retention of national defense information under the Espionage Act and for obstruction of justice threw out the superseding indictment and dismissed all of…
Editor’s note: The following is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. JFK, Ronald Reagan, and now, Donald Trump. The seemingly orchestrated campaign of national collapse our ruling elite is carrying out took a very dark turn over the weekend as yet another alleged lone wolf tried to take…
REAL CLEAR POLITICS—President Joe Biden addressed the nation Sunday night from the Oval Office in the wake of an assassination attempt on his predecessor and political rival, Donald Trump, urging Americans to “unite” and collectively “lower the temperature in our politics.” It was a speech about fundamentals. “Disagreement,” the president said, was “inevitable,” not just…
The success of America is, at least in part, dependent upon its citizens’ ability to “self-govern,” John Stonestreet says. “Faith and family are the most obvious” ingredients required for people to be able to govern themselves, says Stonestreet, president of the nonprofit Colson Center and host of the “Breakpoint” podcast. The Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Colson…
Investors have had a bumpy ride in China recently, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s policies have made things only worse. Some are looking to an upcoming meeting of the Chinese Communist Party leadership to set things straight, but they’ll almost certainly be disappointed. The CCP Central Committee, consisting of some 370 senior officials, will meet…
How many men have faced the crucible of a near-death experience and came out triumphant? America just watched Donald Trump’s great moment of testing and saw him prove his mettle. When we tell our children about the assassination attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, we will remember the moment when…
Several liberal media outlets made the choice Saturday evening to display absolute degeneracy when covering the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. Now, not all of the left-leaning outlets did this. ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, and others reported correctly, along with center, independent, and right-leaning sources, that Trump was shot and…
The United Methodist Church’s pro-LGBTQ stance might foreshadow a similar future for the Southern Baptist Convention unless Baptists firmly oppose left-wing influences, says William Wolfe, founder and executive director of the Center for Baptist Leadership. “I want to side with God’s Word against the world and not with the world against God’s Word,” Wolfe told…
Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as general secretary of the Communist Party until 1982. But like most Russian apparatchiks who excessively smoked, drank, and gained weight, Brezhnev aged prematurely. Also like them, his disabilities never led to his abdication. By Brezhnev’s late 60s and early 70s, he was too ill to travel abroad…
Years ago, a dear friend who worked for former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld invited me to join the two of them at a photography exhibit. The secretary needed some assistance, having had shoulder surgery. He was loathe to have a lady carry his briefcase. It became my job. We walked through the exhibit of…
One reason the colonies declared independence from Great Britain was the political manipulation of the courts, but the Left today seems to think that judicial manipulation is a good idea after all. Leftists’ campaign to control the Supreme Court includes institutional and personal threats, smears of individual justices, and now articles of impeachment from the…
It has been two weeks since palpably senile President Joe Biden delivered the single worst performance ever given in a presidential debate, and the fallout continues to tear the Democratic Party asunder. For two weeks, most of the left-wing corporate media, joined by a small but growing number of elected Democratic officials, have desperately been…
Based on all the accusations being hurled back and forth over the past eight years, if there’s one thing everyday Americans agree on, it’s the importance of maintaining faith in our elections. Electoral integrity is a foundational block in our republic’s Jenga tower that, if pulled away, will topple it. Unfortunately, that may be just…
Last night at the ESPY Awards, tennis star Serena Williams took a pointed jab at Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. After her sister and fellow tennis star Venus Williams said, “Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sports, because they are sports,” Serena Williams chimed in, “Except you, Harrison Butker….
Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the federal debt has increased by more than $7 trillion. On Jan. 20, 2021, the day of Biden’s inauguration, it was $27,751,896,236,414.77, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury Department. As of this Fourth of July, it was $34,847,568,990,054.13. That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639.36—in less than four…
Among the worst ideas in the Biden administration’s proposed budget is a new annual tax of at least 25% on unrealized gains for Americans with incomes and assets of over $100 million. Taxing unrealized gains is an entirely new prospect that, if the Biden administration succeeds in doing it, would penalize individuals for owning assets…
Does anybody remember the gentle days of political humor when Johnny Carson was the King of Late Night? Today’s late-night environment is largely a nasty gang of hardened leftists (with Jimmy Fallon being the closest to the Carson model). A new Media Research Center study by Alex Christy found the political tilt of guests (with…
Navy Joan Roberts has never met her grandfather, President Joe Biden. Navy, the 5-year-old daughter of Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, has seen her grandfather, though—on TV. Roberts, author of the forthcoming book “Out of the Shadows: My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden,” recounts Navy seeing President Biden’s image. View this post…
While the Left has been perpetuating lies about Project 2025, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts explains what it actually is: a policy document “that the next president of the United States” can use “if he so chooses.” “What has driven the Left crazy is that the political center Right has never been this organized, we’ve never…
