Once again, choose accurate language. That is not “demonstrators.”I have previously written about the importance of accurate language to inform the American public about what is going on. See “Covid” Didn’t Destroy Businesses and Lives; the Government Did. Language shapes the terrain on which the political debates are fought. Many of our supposedly “elite” commentators, however, do not appear to understand this. I see constant references, even on outlets like Fox News, to the “demonstrators” when describing the pro-Hamas supporters who are shutting down freeways, blocking bridges illegally, and occupying campuses while assaulting and preventing Jewish students from attending classes.Referring...

The Federal Reserve is playing the song “Don’t rock the boat” ahead of the Presidential election. Despite the horrible economic news. 1) 4 months of hotter inflation (like today’s stagflationary GDP report) 2) Nearly 1.5 million full-time jobs decline with 1.9 part-time jobs created over a year 3) $2 trillion annual deficits Leading traders to price in 1 rate cut in December 2024. AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION! Under Biden, home prices are up 32.5% and conforming 30Y mortgage rates are UP 160%. One of my colleagues at George Mason University in finance (an economics PhD) constantly quoted Lenin’s famous “You...

The MSM largely ignored the PA primary tuesday, as they are Trump Trial 24/7 at this point, but the PA primary was a DISASTER for Joe Biden, don't let the top line lazy reporting fool you. Lefties/TDS suffers want to latch onto the fact Trump only got 83% of the primary vote.. claiming that this was a closed primary state and he only got 83% of the vote. This is true, but the spin this is bad for Trump once again shows how little the establishment media either understands Trump (or more importantly his supporters) or that they are just...

Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman voiced concerns Monday about alleged racist tactics by the pro-Israeli group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). During a virtual town hall, Bowman pointed out what he perceives as a targeted campaign against him due to his critical stance on Israeli policies and his radical political style. Bowman, a member of the “Squad,” accused AIPAC of intimidation tactics and suggested that their criticisms veer into personal attacks, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

COVID was a gift to Biden. The furious Federal spending of Q2 2020 through Q1 2021 helped keep GDP growth above recession levels. Ignore Biden’s demented rants/lies about cutting the debt in half. Biden has claimed he cut the $34+ trillion national debt by $7 billion, $1.4 trillion, $1.7 billion, $1.7 trillion, and “in half,” depending on the day he rants. He did no such thing. He is confused and is talking about the BUDGET DEFICIT (don’t look to Snopes to fact check “Trucker Joe”, they really only fact check Trump). Not surprisingly, the Federal deficit spiked with the Covid...

It's been an entertaining couple of days. Joe Biden has gone on a tour featuring his favorite fairy tales mixed in with some outright lies. Here are the highlights. He was ambushed by the teleprompter again The White House scrubbed it from the official transcript He wants to punch Trump He claimed he cut the national debt Biden makes the sign of the cross for abortion on demand He repeated the same nonsensical remark he made recently He once again claimed to have traveled for years by train over the Francis Scott Key bridge "The most significant investment is the...

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel. “Not only did the ‘Foreign Aid’ package do nothing to secure our own border, it included $3.5 Billion to supercharge mass migration from the Middle East,” said a tweet from Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO).

The transfer of Army Tactical Missile Systems with a nearly 200-mile range ends a yearslong drama between Washington and Kyiv. The Biden administration last month secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for the first time in the two-year war — and Kyiv has already used the weapon twice to strike deep behind Russian lines. In March, the U.S. quietly approved the transfer of a number of Army Tactical Missile Systems with a range of nearly 200 miles, said a senior Biden administration official and two U.S. officials, allowing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s forces to put at risk more Russian targets inside...

April 24, 2024 A message from our Founder: TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet. This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution. Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The...

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks at North America’s Building Trade Union National Legislative Conference in Washington DC. The group endorsed Biden’s reelection. Biden delivered a disastrous speech on Wednesday. He read the teleprompter instructions as he tried to drum up enthusiasm: “Four more years? Pause?” At one point he suggested punching President Trump. “Think of the guys you grew up with you’d like to get into the corner and just give him a straight left,” Biden said of Trump as the crowd laughed. He quickly tried to walk back his call for violence against Trump with sarcasm: “I’m not...

DA Bragg’s case is in serious trouble. The gang behind the prosecution of President Trump made a serious error that should lead President Trump’s team to move to dismiss. [Prosecutors in New York have revealed what the other crime is that Donald Trump was allegedly trying to conceal when he was falsifying business records and they claim it was to unlawfully promote his candidacy. The fatal error is that the NY Statute they cite only applies to elections within the State of New York and not Federal Elections! Trump was running for the federal office of President of the United...

I just got done reading former CIA Director Mike Morell’s book, The Great War of Our Time: The CIA's Fight Against Terrorism--From al Qa'ida to ISIS . (it was good-5 stars) Now I’m reading Gen. Hayden’s book, The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies (5-star for accuracy, 1 star for most childish TDS whining ever). Both books talk about how often the US govt chooses to do things that give us bonus benefits by working with the rest of the world; globalism; “National sacrifices for global benefits.” They contrast that with the need and desire...

The Biden Administration's efforts to bring peace to Gaza by supporting the Palestinian Authority (PA) went awry went the money the US provided was spent to reward the families of martyrs in the fight against the Jewish occupation of Palestine. Spokesman for the PA Jenin Adnan Abu Aisheh emphasized that "compensating the heros of Islam is, and always has been, our highest priority." US Secretary of State Tony Blinken said "it is profoundly disappointing to see the aid we have given to the PA diverted to furthering the conflict. By taking the PA's side in their struggle for dominance against...

Two months ago, a majority of Republicans opposed the $95 billion foreign aid bill when it came to the Senate floor for a vote. Ten of those senators flipped Tuesday. The measure passed by an overwhelming 79-18 margin, sending the bill to President Joe Biden for his signature. It wasn’t long ago that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., found himself among the minority of Republican senators who supported the foreign aid bill. In February, there were 22 GOP senators in favor and 26 opposed, while one Republican senator didn’t vote. It was a different story Tuesday. This time, 31...

As Joe Biden faces abysmal polling numbers as he loses support from left-wingers over his support and funding for the Israel war, his administration is now considering extreme measures to keep his power locked in ahead of the 2024 election and beyond. Are we about to repeat the COVID-style lockdown measures of 2020? Are we about to see the Democrats claw in an unprecedented and unfair advantage once again and steal the election? Fox News reported that the Biden White House is now considering defying the Constitution and declaring a climate emergency. According to Fox guest Marc Morano, a former...

The Washington Post’s in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz apparently only seems to care about Big Tech when its policies affect leftists’ ability to spread their off-the-rails agitprop all over the social media landscape. Meta announced Feb. 9 that it would be limiting all political content recommended writ large to its user bases on Instagram and Threads. This apparently struck a nerve with Lorenz, who jumped on the news with a Feb. 10 piece of her own lambasting the move as “angering some news creators” who were “gearing up for a crucial election year.” Talk about projection. Lorenz is apparently still miffed,...

Manufacturer’s Durable Goods New Orders growth peaked in April 2021, thanks in part to M2 Money Growth peaking in February 2021. And its been all downhill since then.

Comedian Roseanne Barr sent X into a meltdown after she mocked Joe Biden by levying a fictitious accusation similar to those made by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump. In a video, Barr dramatically claimed that Biden assaulted her decades ago in a department store. Barr, who acts distressed in the video, recounts her “experience” in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room – a parody of Carroll’s allegations against Trump.

Some of the country’s most prominent legal commentators are holding off-the-record sessions to hash out the latest twists and turns in Donald Trump’s legal saga. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the Jan. 6 committee was working on its bombshell investigation into the Capitol riot and President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the last election, committee staffers took some time out of their seemingly 24-hour jobs one day in 2022 to brief a group of lawyers and legal pundits on a Zoom call. The people on the call weren’t affiliated with the investigation or the government. But they would have been familiar to anyone...

At what point will the liberal media call out Joe Biden for this sickness he has? It is a sickness if you can't stop spreading falsehoods even when what you say is nonsense and untrue, but you keep on saying it. On Tuesday, at Biden's second campaign stop in Tampa, Florida, at an office with supporters, he was back to claiming false stories about his background. What must these people think when they're supposed to be supporting this person who just keeps spreading things that aren't true? True to form, Biden pulled out the civil rights story.
