MILWAUKEE — President Biden repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday — exclaiming at one point, “What’s with you guys? Come on, man!” — as he defended his criticism of Donald Trump despite calling on Americans to “lower the temperature” after the assassination attempt on the former president Saturday. The 81-year-old president lashed out when Holt pressed him on his disastrous June 27 debate performance and bristled when the journalist asked him about former Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance. “Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared...

The Republican Party’s recent pro-worker turn has too often amounted to little more than cultural posturing: going after “woke capital” but stopping well short of challenging corporate and Wall Street power as such. As Batya Ungar-Sargon has written in these pages, today’s GOP is a “working-class party without a working-class agenda.” But there are important exceptions to this trend, and few shine as brightly as Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) when it comes to standing up for wage-earners and forging alliances with organized labor. Over the past few months, these efforts have earned Hawley justified praise—and donation dollars—from the International Brotherhood of...

With a weaker pro-life Republican platform than many pro-life Americans would have preferred, the Republican Party has come under some criticism for not having strong enough language condemning abortion. As a result, one pro-life group is heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin today to remind Republicans to “defend babies” from abortions and to support pregnant moms who need help. The Pro-Life Action League has a message for attendees of the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee this week and pro-life advocates affiliated with the organization will take to a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 94/43 on Monday, July 15, the first day of...

I heard a Radio Report out from a PA Affiliate. Incredibly, they said the following came directly from sources inside the Investigation. There were 3 Secret Service Snipers positioned inside the Bldg that Crooks scaled and used as a platform. Secret Service Snipers inside the building first saw Crooks looking up at the roof and acting suspiciously. Crooks then left. Crooks returned and was looking at his phone. One Sniper (inside the Building) was observing Crooks looking at his phone and then he saw Crooks using a rangefinder. The Sniper took a picture of him at this point, and forwarded...

We discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Do the facts and the theories point to something more underhanded than just incompetence?

I often wonder what my grandmother—Mamaw, as I called her—would have thought about her grandson becoming Catholic. ...My first real exposure to an institutional church would come later, through my father’s large pentecostal congregation. But I knew a few things about Catholicism well before then. I knew that Catholics worshipped Mary. I knew they rejected the legitimacy of Scripture. And I knew that the Antichrist—or at least, the Antichrists’s spiritual adviser—would be a Catholic. Or, at the time, I would have said, “is” a Catholic—as I felt pretty confident that the Antichrist walked among us. ...Catholics didn’t, it turned out,...

Former president Donald Trump’s ambition of remaking the Republican Party in his image just took a major leap forward with the selection of Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, a Catholic convert, as his vice-presidential nominee. ...News of Trump’s choice prompted a range of reactions from Catholic observers. In response to the pick, Elbridge Colby, the Catholic former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development, posted his jubilation on X: “An absolutely superb, visionary choice by President Trump of @JDVance1. America could not be more fortunate. We are finally primed for putting Americans first again — for real! It...

Robert D. Philpot spoke to NBC News' Tom Llamas about what he saw at former President Trump's rally before the assassination attempt and what he believed was a "noticeable" difference in security compared to a previous rally he attended with his daughter.

With the Republican National Convention underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as of Monday, the party has officially chosen former President Donald Trump as their nominee for November’s presidential election. While Trump’s address to the convention after tragedy struck on Saturday when an assassin’s bullet nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly be one of patriotism and unity, there are still career Republicans in Congress present at the convention who are incredibly unpopular. As each state was officially announcing its delegates for Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took to the microphone to cast 46 votes for Trump....

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Donald Trump has picked the “future of the Republican Party” after selecting JD Vance to be his running mate in this year’s presidential election. “He’s picked someone who can be the presidential candidate in 2028 when I’m not sure the others could have been as powerful as Vance,” he told Sky News Australia. “So, he’s picked someone for the future.”
