A pair of Democrats are urging New York universities and colleges to transform their student dorms into migrant shelters as border crossers and illegal aliens continue arriving daily. Since the spring of 2022, more than 60,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the sanctuary city of New York City. In response, Mayor Eric Adams (D) has turned to housing most migrants in hotels, a lucrative policy for the city’s powerful real estate lobby.

(OSV News) -- After traveling the United States for 10 months during 1831-32, French diplomat and political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville declared in his classic work "Democracy in America" that "there is no country in the world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America." But almost 200 years later, a new report from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) titled "Religion and Congregations in a Time of Social and Political Upheaval" casts a shadow of doubt on the fervor of Americans, only 16% of whom reported to PRRI that religion is...

Tim Scott (R-SC) has “Clarence Thomas Syndrome” and used a racist dog whistle during his 2024 Republican presidential bid announcement.” Goldberg said, “If you are going to have talk about personal responsibility. I mean, you know, all they do is talk about a victim. ‘I won the election, I won, I won, I won.’ Come on now, this may have been a bit much, this year, you know?”

On Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “GMA3,” Denver Mayor Michael Hancock stated that the city has received a record influx of migrants into the city since December that is financially “unsustainable” without more help from the federal government, and stated that the migrants that have been recently sent to the city by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) “probably would have ended up in Denver” anyway.

on DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential candidacy later this week but, unless he makes some major adjustments, the Florida governor likely won’t last long in the Republican race, according to a Washington Post columnist. Eugene Robinson wrote that despite his proclamations that he’s the only Republican who could beat President Joe Biden in 2024, DeSantis’ flagging poll numbers suggest a dramatic course correction is in order. 1Pc Oulm Men's Multi Time Zone Large Dial Watch Steel Band Business Quartz Watch,Temu 1Pc Oulm Men's Multi Time Zone Large Dial Watch Steel Band Business Quartz Watch,Temu Ad Temu Robinson noted...

The lack of self-awareness exhibited by the liberal media never ceases to amaze me, and at times—it can come across as if they’re just trolling conservatives. They tried to dismiss the Durham report as a dud, something that was already reported on five years ago with the report filed by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, whom they said found no evidence of bias at the FBI during the 2016 election, specifically with the Clinton email probe. That’s not what the report said. The Wall Street Journal Kimberley Strassel long parsed the language in the document and made clear...

Byron Donalds (R-FL), replied, “That’s salacious and you know that.”Donalds said that “when...

COLUMBIA — A remark Gov. Henry McMaster has been making about Democrats at Republican events for the last three decades ignited outcry over the weekend as Democrats say the comment promotes violence and evokes South Carolina’s sordid history of slavery.
