This week, I had the opportunity to visit the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, to hear President Donald Trump speak. Trump, who had just brokered a ceasefire deal involving the release of all 20 living Israeli hostages from Hamas—without a full Israeli withdrawal, and with a stated commitment by Hamas, backed by erstwhile allies like Qatar…
It turns out the mainstream media fell for a fake story about Donald Trump supporters. On Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported, “A Muslim student who said she was harassed on the subway by drunken, hate-spewing white men shouting ‘Donald Trump!’ lied to police because she broke her curfew, law enforcement sources said.” Muslim girl…
The exit of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon doesn’t bode well for conservatives or those who just wanted to see President Donald Trump stick to the economic and foreign policy message that he ran on, some on the right fear. “There is no question that Steve Bannon was one of the only people who…
It’s no longer only President Donald Trump and his allies saying “no collusion.” Special counsel Robert Mueller has reached the same conclusion that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Moscow to gain advantage in the 2016 election. Mueller also did not uncover actionable evidence in his 22-month probe that Trump sought to obstruct justice…
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries recently declared Democrats would “fight in the streets” against President Donald Trump. Since then, everyone from “the squad” to “The View” to Mad Maxine Waters has pitched this notion of “takin’ it to the streets” to battle the president. Last Tuesday, they brought the fight inside the hallowed chambers of…
President Donald Trump went toe-to-toe with the media at a White House press conference Thursday, using terms such as “fake news” and “failing” to describe many of the recent stories about his administration. “The public doesn’t believe you people anymore,” @POTUS says. “I turn on the TV, open the newspapers, and I see stories of…
When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton. What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then president, then ex-president,…
The Daily Signal followed the main speakers and debates at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, which wrapped Saturday. We’ve pulled together a quick guide to our coverage of CPAC, the largest annual national gathering of conservative activists, held again just outside Washington at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland….
Point and laugh at The Hollywood Reporter. After four years of Team Biden pressuring Big Tech to crush dissent on social media, not to mention Team Biden pressuring the news media to crush any word of President Joe Biden's mental decline, they're going to warn the world about Donald Trump and censorship. The silly headline…
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump abruptly announced a 90-day pause on most of his planned country-specific “reciprocal” tariffs—with the notable exception of China. In so strikingly singling out China as the focus of America’s economic and geopolitical ire, Trump was not merely clarifying that the United States views China and its regnant Communist Party as…
Tuesday night’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump has been touted as either a draw or a Harris victory by mainstream media pundits, but independent and undecided voters saw the evening differently. Multiple polls are showing that a majority of undecided voters either decided on backing Trump or leaned toward…
Liberal activists—some of whom have called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment for more than a year— have grown louder after the convictions of two Trump associates last week. Billionaire Tom Steyer, who already has spent millions on TV ads and runs the Need to Impeach petition campaign that has collected 5.6 million signatures, released a…
As House Democrats’ impeachment probe moved forward Thursday, a star witness told Congress that “no quid pro quo” existed in the president’s dealings with Ukraine and the president’s chief of staff told reporters that politics typically play a role in foreign policy. Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union and one of those named…
President Donald Trump made several worrying remarks during an interview with Reuters last week that raise questions about his Asia policy and his ability to implement it. Trump’s comments come at a particularly inopportune time as his administration unveils its North Korea policy and seeks international support to ratchet up pressure on Pyongyang—all while South…
A little-noticed casualty of Democrats’ impeachment push against President Donald Trump last year was gun control, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., says. In an interview for my book “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump,” Massie noted that the president was ready to pull the trigger on a federal law allowing orders…
The Left couldn’t defeat President Donald Trump at the ballot box. Now, their only hope seems to be defeating him at the courthouse. More than 130 cases have been filed against the Trump administration since Trump’s return to office just two months ago. With the help of activist federal judges, the Left’s large-scale lawfare operation…
THE WASHINGTON STAND—They say “hindsight is 20/20,” and really, only time will tell just how Thomas Matthew Crooks’ attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump stirred (or hardened) the hearts of the American people. It would seem the immediate reactions to the shooting Saturday evening at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania are a mixed bag. In the…
After ABC News settled with Donald Trump for $16 million over George Stephanopoulos incessantly lying about Trump being held “liable for rape,” the hot concept in media panic was the “chilling effect.” MSNBC commentator Barbara McQuade lamented “the chilling effect it might have on people who otherwise would be critical of Donald Trump.” Is there…
A joint hearing of two House committees Thursday repeatedly turned testy as FBI agent Peter Strzok sought to explain away text messages sharply critical of Donald Trump and how they did not affect the fairness of the FBI investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Strzok, reassigned but still an FBI employee, admitted…
Editor’s note: This article was originally published Aug. 26. Radio talk-show host and podcaster Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, predicted another “incident” with the Secret Service, claiming that the agency is worse off today than it was before the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. After…
