On October 18, Democrats and other leftist groups held hundreds of “We hate Trump; we hate his supporters” protests that they called the “No Kings” march. The largest demographic group of protesters was older, antagonized white women accompanied by their reluctant, “do-I-have-to-participate” husbands (the second largest group). In contrast to the Democrats’ younger protesters, these elderly (70s and 80s) men and women were civil and even displayed patriotism by waving (not burning) U.S. flags. Surprisingly, they didn’t carry many Palestinian or Mexican flags often seen when Dems protest. Obviously, they received the memo to tone down their hatred of America.The...

There's a bombshell report today exposing socialist New York mayoral candidate Zorhan Mamdani's "missing charity money… illegal campaign donations, and much more," courtesy of The Dana Show's Lorraine Yuriar.

When it comes to trolling, President Trump takes the trophy. He has made it into an art form, and while much of the MAGA crowd enjoys it, his trolling drives the Left crazy. He’s getting a great deal of criticism for doing it, but there are those folks who enjoy his mastery:The goal for online behavior and mainstream media engagement remains the same: titillate Trump supporters while angering the left. In a word, trolling.So far, it’s working, whether it’s Trump’s infomercial for Musk’s electric vehicles, DHS chief Kristi Noem’s cosplay theatrics [with weapons] or FBI Director Kash Patel posting a...

On November 28, 1978, I arrived in Rome with other émigrés from the USSR, and I was stunned by what I saw. The entire city was covered with portraits of Lenin, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro, and decorated with red flags—even more so than Moscow on the anniversary of the October Revolution. An endless procession of beautiful Italian nurses walked along Via Veneto, Rome’s main street, carrying giant banners: “WE WANT FREE MEAT TWICE A WEEK, LIKE IN THE SOVIET UNION!” We fresh émigrés from the USSR looked at each other in amazement. Since 1917, only prison sentences had been...

Nepo babies of the world, unite!

But we can’t cut funding for health and development—programs that help people stay resilient in the face of climate change—to do it. It’s time to put human welfare at the center of our climate strategies, which includes reducing the Green Premium to zero and improving agriculture and health in poor countries. There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change...

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for state employees lost 71 percent of a $468 million private equity investment into clean energy.

Wallace’s claim that no Democrat has ever suggested Trump is Hitler is demonstrably false.MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Monday that she doesn’t think “any Democrat has” suggested that President Donald Trump is Hitler — but the record shows Democrats and their media allies have long run an assassination prep campaign against the president.During Monday’s interview, Illinois Gov.
