<p>DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Joe Wiederien was an unlikely candidate to challenge a Republican congressman in one of the nation’s most competitive House districts.</p><p>A fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump, Wiederien was registered as a Republican until months earlier. A debilitating stroke had left him unable to drive. He had never run for office. For a time, he couldn’t vote because of a felony conviction.</p>

The aftermath of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has exposed an unsettling reality in America today: a growing acceptance of — or at the very least, a disturbing indifference toward — violence against political opponents. According to a new survey that RMG Research conducted for the Napolitan News Service, a staggering 17% of voters believe that America would be better off if last week’s assassination attempt on Trump had succeeded. This includes an alarming 28% of Democrats, with another 24% unsure whether America might be better off if Trump were dead.Only 48% of Democrats could definitively...

If you didn't see this headline coming a mile away, you weren't paying attention. We all know Kamala Harris is running a center-left campaign in order to win. No one wants a president who will confiscate guns, outlaw gas-powered cars, and ban your stove while using the DOJ to silence any Americans who disagree with her. But here's The Hill, saying the quiet part out loud: No. Duh. They write: Democratic lawmakers are giving Vice President Harris a pass on her policy flip-flops and efforts to tack toward the political center, confident she’s still a progressive at heart and will...

The Trump campaign is not playing around as the corporate media desperately attempts to absolve Democrats and their enablers (including themselves) of blame for the latest assassination attempt on the 45th President. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a second attempt was made on President Trump’s life, just two months after he came within a centimeter of being killed in Butler, Pennsylvania by a Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks. Shots were fired at the 45th president’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon at roughly 1:30 pm as he was playing golf with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. The...

A At last month’s Democratic National Convention, men lined up to have themselves sterilized outside the conference center. You probably heard. So-called “reproductive rights” were one of the key issues of the Convention, which also had a giant inflatable IUD stationed close to the entrance, just in case attendees were in any doubt. Planned Parenthood took an RV to the Convention and set up a mobile clinic in a parking lot nearby. On Monday, the first day of proceedings, it offered free vasectomies, and then abortions the next day. Luis Ayala was one of ten men who had himself sterilized...

Now they brand anyone who questions election results an 'election denier' and for some, it gets worse. Democrats were once the party of free speech. The ACLU and “truth to power” were part of the Democrat party truth brigade. Yet now Democrats and the left are stifling free speech so fast it would make George Orwell’s head spin. If Orwell was alive today, his sequel to 1984 would be 2024, replacing Winston Smith with Elon Musk or Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. Censorship, once popular in communist China, Hitler’s Germany, and Mao’s China, is the new Converse sneakers, mom jeans, and...

Martin County Sheriff's Office via AP ========================================================= Fox News has reported that the alleged suspect in the second Trump assassination attempt is Ryan Wesley Routh, as we reported earlier. He allegedly aimed a rifle through the fence on the golf course where Trump was. He was about 300-500 yards away. Law enforcement claimed he had an AK-47 with a scope and a Go-Pro camera at the fence. He also had a bag with ceramic plates. The Secret Service fired at him and he fled in a black SUV. A citizen saw him and took a picture of his license which...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With news continuing to filter in about the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the nation's prominent Democrats expressed relief that Hitler was OK. Following a busy weekend of making public statements and social media posts clearly identifying Trump as "literally Hitler" and telling the country that he posed a grave threat to the existence of the United States, Democratic leaders quickly made it known how glad they were to find out he was unharmed. "We're just glad the greatest threat to democracy is safe," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "I know just an...

No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon’

The Trump Rapid Response team emailed out numerous times the Democrats and media used “incendiary rhetoric” against former President Donald Trump.“Thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement — but make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years,” wrote the team.The email has over 50 examples.I’m going to screenshot the email, but link a few more below the pictures.

Communism thrives on resentment, vengeance, and terror. Its weapon is disorder, destroying bonds of families, nations, civilizations. So why has the U.S. moved to the Left? According to Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, authors of Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (And How to Crush Them), conservatives lose because they do not understand the Left. The authors say their book is a “software upgrade” for saving America and Western civilization. They say they are unapologetic about the epithet ‘unhumans’ because communists destroy “the human rights of life, liberty, and property – and undo their own humanity in the process...

The Hawaii man suspected in former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt on Sunday is a long-time Democrat, donating exclusively to the party’s candidates 19 times since 2019, records show.

DETROIT — A Democrat running for Congress in one of America’s top manufacturing districts once called auto “a dying industry,” a comment sure to tick off his Motown-area voters — and they’ll be reminded of it over and over again in a 30-second ad his Republican opponent launched Tuesday, which The Post viewed exclusively.GOP incumbent Rep. John James is facing a rematch in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District against Democrat Carl Marlinga, whom he defeated in 2022 by just 1,601 votes.The race is expected to be just as close this year — and James is determined to hold onto his seat,...

It is incredibly ironic that the Biden/Harris administration and its State Department were tasked with overseeing the election integrity of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) recently. The same Biden/Harris administration that was strong-arming Mark Zuckerberg to publish only Biden-affirming material on Facebook, which allowed election laws to be illegally changed in the wake of COVID, and which oversaw the shutting down of vote counts in the middle of the night in swing states is now being asked to validate and defend free elections in the DRC. This is the same Democrat party that thinks voter ID is racist. Of...

Anarcho-tyranny refers to a societal condition where the state fails to enforce basic law and order against serious crimes (anarchy) but simultaneously imposes excessive control, regulation, and punishment on ordinary, law-abiding citizens (tyranny). The goal of anarcho-tyranny is to maintain power and control by targeting the compliant majority while neglecting or enabling more serious, disruptive elements within society. This dynamic serves to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo, often at the expense of individual freedoms and true justice. The concept of anarcho-tyranny was coined by Samuel T. Francis. His “Leviathan and Its Enemies: Mass Organization and Managerial Power in...

In a huge blow to cheating Democrats, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won’t be counted. Democrats heavily relied on mail-in ballots in 2020 to get Joe Biden across the finish line. Recall that President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by more than 750,000 votes in Pennsylvania at midnight on Election Day in 2020, but Democrats in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia kept counting ‘mail-in ballots’ for two weeks without GOP monitors present. Joe Biden ‘won’ Pennsylvania by approximately 80,000 votes after Democrats used mail-in ballots to cheat. Last month a lower court...

Democrats are fearing a “Trump surge” with male voters, based on polls historically not accurately reflecting support for former President Donald Trump, according to a report. “Trump is winning men who have not [previously] voted,” Celinda Lake, one of two leading pollsters for President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign told the Hill. “Most pollsters are adjusting. Our firm looks at two turnout estimates now. One the average and one looking at [a] Trump surge.” She said that with polls showing battleground states balanced on a knife-edge, “I think we still have to worry about a Trump surge.”

On the night of the debate – when late-term abortions would again be dismissed as a phony issue – NBC Nightly News ran a promotional piece about Colorado late-term abortionist Warren Hern, who has been a radical pro-abortion crank for 50 years. Lester Holt began: “And tonight we visit one state where women are traveling to obtain a rare and often misunderstood form of the procedure later in pregnancy.” It’s “often misunderstood” when you kill a baby in utero with an injection to the heart and then remove the corpse. Reporter Dasha Burns promoted abortion in this one-sided piece, focused...

Montana’s Jon Tester and Ohio’s Sherrod Brown lead the list of Roll Call’s most vulnerable senators...Republicans need a net gain of two seats to take the majority next year — or one seat and control of the White House, since the vice president breaks ties. And with Manchin’s retirement, the GOP is all but guaranteed to pick up the seat in ruby-red West Virginia. While our list looks only at vulnerable incumbents, there are several high-profile open seats whose outcomes will also shape the balance of power in the chamber. One of the biggest Senate battlegrounds is in Arizona, where...
