If you are a registered Republican voter in Nevada wanting to participate in today’s caucuses, the state party says the process is simple: Either stop by a caucus site starting at 5 p.m. and stay for the whole meeting until 7:30 p.m., or “cast your secret paper ballot and go.” One of the reasons the party says it opted to run caucuses, which are operated independently from the oversight of the Nevada Secretary of State and county election officials, instead of participate in Tuesday’s Republican presidential preference primary is for election security. You must bring a valid government-issued identification to...

It remains unclear why Biden and Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas destroyed what Trump had achieved. Why would they ensure such misery for both Americans and millions of illegal migrants? In 2021, Joe Biden opened wide an inherited, secure southern border that had finally stopped mass illegal immigration. When he overturned Donald Trump’s efforts, a planned flood of over 8 million illegal immigrants entered the U.S. Almost all arrived without background checks, health screening, or vaccination certificates—but with massive needs for free housing, education, healthcare, and food entitlements and subsidies. For four years, Donald Trump battled the courts, his Democratic...

Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher is facing intense criticism from Republicans in his district and around the state following his vote this week against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — with some on the right flank of his party calling for a primary challenge. Gallagher joined three other House Republicans and every Democrat Tuesday evening in voting against impeaching Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. He argued that Mayorkas' performance has been a "disgrace" but that Mayorkas' actions have not risen to the level of crimes necessary for impeachment. He warned that impeaching a cabinet official could set...

In a recent trio of posts to X, Elon Musk wrote that (1) illegal immigrants “are not prevented from voting in federal elections,” (2) “you don’t need government issued ID to vote,” and (3) Democrats “are importing voters.” To rebut those statements, the New York Times published an article by Jim Rutenberg and Kate Conger claiming that Musk is “spreading election misinformation” about “illegal voting by noncitizens” and echoing a “conspiracy theory” spread by Donald Trump. While Musk’s words are imprecise, the gist of what he wrote is correct, and the Times is categorically wrong.

Republicans took a major blow after their attempt to impeach disgraced Deputy of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas failed, and someone was waiting in the wings with a savage 3-word response. You remember George Santos, whom Republicans voted to oust, right? Well, after the failed vote, he had something to say, which Republicans should take to heart. After all, they can’t impeach a man who’s destroying the country, but they can get rid of a Republican congressman who could have voted with them. Either the GOP is just plain stupid, or they’re doing everything they can to help the left. Santos...

even if Trump, 77, fights the verdicts and appeals, he would still have to front a potential $453 million total as an “undertaking,” or security, in the two cases, according to legal experts. Under New York law, Trump — should he fight the verdict as his attorneys have indicated he will — would for instance have to turn over the full amount he owes Carroll for a court to hold in escrow until the appeal was resolved. He’d also have to pay a hefty interest rate if he eventually lost the appeal. Trump could seek a security bond to help...

Tolerating progressive ideals of equity within Republican ranks for the sake of “getting along” is a duplicitous strategy designed to deliver this county to the Left. Republican leader Mitch McConnell and his senatorial stooge James Lankford promoted a federal bill that would send billions oversees to protect the borders of other countries, while allowing an invasion into the U.S. of nearly two million illegal aliens every year. A City Journal piece details how the Biden administration has every intention of allowing illegal aliens to flood the country regardless of negotiated “bipartisan” border bills. “Why is Biden releasing millions of illegal...

The UNC chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) doesn’t have a great track record on free speech and civil discourse. Its members have occupied university administrative buildings, attempted to shout down speakers, and used intimidation tactics on Jewish students. So it’s unsurprising that SJP shows equal disdain for the university’s commitment to institutional neutrality. The Chapel Hill student organization has shared a list of “demands” for university action in an online petition and in a letter to UNC administration. The list of demands, if met, would be the equivalent of UNC taking sides in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In the sad annals of Trump Derangement, perhaps the bizarre vengeance porn fantasies of New York magazine's Ankush Khardori stands alone in coming from a very very dark place. The typical sufferer of TDS might hope for the imprisonment of Donald Trump and leave it at that.In the case of Khardori he went full mental jacket on Monday in that magazine's Intelligencer section with an over-3500-word diatribe dripping with Trump hate in which he fantasized in extreme detail what imprisonment for the President would look like as you can see in this unhinged missive "What Happens, Exactly, If Trump Is...

A volcano began erupting in southwestern Iceland early Thursday, sending lava jets as high as 80 meters, the country’s weather office said. "At 5:30 this morning an intense seismic activity started north-east of mt. Sýlingarfell. Around 30 minutes later, a volcanic eruption started at the site,” the Icelandic Met Office said. Images taken by an Icelandic Coast Guard's surveillance flight appeared to show the eruption taking place at a location near the Dec. 18 eruption, official said.

The Biden economy will play a major role in the 2024 election. Since the Democrats cannot admit that Biden is to blame in any way, they are training their criticism on corporate greed. Shrinkflation is a very real thing, but it’s a market reaction to current conditions, not a strategy by scheming corporations.Enter Elizabeth Warren, who is actually fundraising off this concept.She recently sent out a campaign email that gives the game away:Doritos, Oreos, and toilet paperHave you ever finished a bag of Doritos and thought, “Whoa — there should have been a lot more chips in here”? You were...

Same story, same result. For the third time this week, President Biden told an audience that he discussed the Jan, 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol with European leaders who were actually dead at the time. On Wednesday, Biden told Democratic donors in New York that he spoke about the riot with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, whose death pre-dates the event by nearly half a decade. The shocking gaffe comes just days after the 81-year-old president confused French President Emmanuel Macron with the country’s ex-leader Francois Mitterrand — who died in 1996. Biden made the blunder Wednesday in...

Hamas rejected the latest U.S.-negotiated hostage deal Tuesday, turning down a long pause in the fighting, the release of many dangerous terrorists, and other troubling terms that Israel was willing to swallow to free its people. The Hamas kidnappers say they will keep their 132 hostages—dead or alive—unless Israel ends the war entirely and guarantees Hamas control over Gaza. President Biden called Hamas’s reply “a little over the top,” perhaps forgetting that he’s dealing with jihadists, not Republicans. He called Hamas “the opposition” before he was corrected. Qatar tried to spin Hamas’s answer as a “positive response,” but it’s a...

PETA got on its high horse this week, calling on the country’s largest manufacturer of amusement rides to stop selling animal-themed carousels. The animal rights organization sent a letter to Kansas-based Chance Rides on Tuesday arguing that using designs of horses and other animals for the merry-go-round “unintentionally celebrates the exploitation” of animals that are “thinking, feeling, affectionate, playful, and social beings.” By eliminating animal-themed amusement rides, it would be a blow against industries that still use real animals for entertainment like camel rides or dolphin shows, PETA insisted. Those live animals can face abuse or horrid conditions, the group...

Bukele's war on gangs is credited with slashing homicide rates while restoring security and dignity to citizens of what was once one of the world's most dangerous countries. There is no sign of Bukele's crackdown coming to an end any time soon. The president, who describes himself as the 'world's coolest dictator', appears to have swept to victory in last weekend's election, so far winning 83 percent of the vote. His war on El Salvador's gangs is cited as a major reason behind his popularity.

The Aloha State’s highest court upheld a man’s gun-carry conviction on Wednesday after rejecting landmark decisions from the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Hawaii’s Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision that found charges leveled against Christopher Wilson for carrying a gun without a permit violated his rights. Instead, the court ruled its state constitution provides no gun-rights protections whatsoever. That’s despite it including a provision protecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms identical to the one in the federal Constitution. “Article I, section 17 of the Hawaiʻi Constitution mirrors the Second Amendment to...

Speculation is mounting that Reform UK could cause "a political earthquake" in next week's Wellingborough by-election after bookmakers suddenly slashed the odds of the party's candidate Ben Habib. Mr Habib entered the race at a distant third favourite of 66/1 last month but as the voting date on February 15 has approached his campaign has appeared to have gained momentum. After declaring that the by-election is "a referendum on Rishi Sunak's government", Mr Habib has suddenly found himself installed as the clear second favourite at just 8/1, a dramatic fall in his odds as money piled on for him to...
