Trump pointed to candidates he backed in primaries like Tudor Dixon, the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan, and Kari Lake, who won the GOP nomination for governor of Arizona. He said...

When President Donald Trump takes the stage at a major conservative conference in Dallas on Saturday he will likely have just received a boost to his 2024 plans in the form of a straw poll that will almost certainly rank him as the clear favorite among attendees. But that is not the end of the story as far as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose star has been on the rise this year. Attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference want him first to continue the work he is doing in Florida before taking up the national MAGA torch in the...

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that the only way to remain in power is to have your own media outlet and to tackle the “insanity of the progressive left.” His comments came during a special conference of the US Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest’s Balnaconference centre. Orbán, who was recently elected to a fourth term, laid out a 12-point blueprint to achieving and consolidating power under the slogan “God, Homeland, Family”.

The Alaska Republican challenging Sen. Lisa Murkowski took to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday in Orlando, bringing a pointed message about Murkowski to a national audience that has no love for Alaska’s senior senator. *** Right after she finished speaking, reporters from the New York Times and CNN rushed up to talk to her. She spoke to the Times reporter but did not appear to give CNN an interview, because others were pulling her away for photos. Potential donors said she did well. One person commented that their son and daughter-in-law live in Alaska, and...

“Oddly, this year, not a single speaker or session focused on abortion. Not one on the threat to women’s sports Not one on religious liberty Not one on family, marriage, sex trafficking, pornography, etc.” The news comes as an interview with Schlapp – currently under fire for accepting $183,250 from a Soros-linked left wing fund – has emerged showing him admitting to shutting down any potential pro-life events at the conference. On Wednesday morning, Schlapp took to Real America’s Voice to protest that the money he receives from the left has no bearing on the content of his conference. But...

Like many prominent Republican senators, Josh Hawley says he’s not running for president. Ted Cruz isn’t so sure about that. “There’s a long history of senators in both parties claiming they’re not running for president, then miraculously having a change in opinion,” Cruz said when asked about Hawley and others’ demurrals. “I’m not sure I would take anybody in either party at face value on that one.” In a chamber crowded with ambitious Republicans seeking to command the conservative lane should former President Donald Trump pass on a 2024 run, Hawley and Cruz stick out. They waged separate challenges to...

I’m not going to bury the lede the way the mainstream media is trying to bury the COVID, inflation, and dementia disasters: Donald Trump is running again. He gave every indication of it in public and at private events, and the word from the people within his orbit is unanimous - he’s already planning his next administration. Like it or not - there are plenty of folks unthrilled about him going Grover - you better get used to it. Trump is back. He looked great - slim, smiling, a total 180 from the talking husk we’re stuck with until January...

At CPAC Saturday, Donald Trump pointed out the latest in a seemingly endless string of examples of Democrat hypocrisy: Democrats are wild with indignation over Vladimir Putin’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, while they’re overseeing the destruction of our own sovereignty by turning our Southern border into little more than a line on a piece of paper. Trump declared: “What has happened in Ukraine is a catastrophic disaster. But it isn’t really that interesting that so many Democrat politicians in Washington, they seem to be rushing to microphones to declare that Ukraine’s borders are sacred. They want to say their borders...

Attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Miami would support former President Donald Trump should he make another run at the White House in 2024 and believe the Democrats would run 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton instead of President Joe Biden. The CPAC straw poll announced Sunday afternoon found that 59 percent of respondents would back Trump in a hypothetical 2024 Republican primary, an increase over his 55 percent support from a year ago at the CPAC in Orlando but a decline from his 70 percent standing from the July CPAC in Dallas. The former president has repeatedly floated...

Conservative Christian show host Stew Peters says what he wants to say. His bluntness combined with a willingness to call out pretty much anyone has not endeared him to Establishment Republicans. Other true conservatives think his “tone” is too harsh. But those who listen to him regularly and appreciate his shocking style can’t get enough of him. At the America First Political Action Conference, AFPAC, running at the same time as CPAC (or Queer PAC, as he calls it), Peters went after Republicans and conservatives who he believes are not doing anything productive. They spend their time trying to “own...
