Does President Biden realize how angry some voters in Michigan are — specifically, Arab Americans? That anger is on full display in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit that has one of the highest percentages of Arab Americans among U.S. cities (54 percent, though experts believe that’s a significant undercount). Opinion Video traveled to Dearborn to understand voter sentiment in a population that has the power to sway the election. Michigan has over 200,000 registered voters who are Muslim — enough to swing the state. (Biden won Michigan by 154,000 votes in 2020.) Just finding a pro-Biden Arab American voter in...

Fox News analyst Brit Hume questioned former President Trump’s pick of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) to be his vice presidential candidate, pointing to Vance’s past harsh criticisms of Trump. Hume posited that voters may come to question how Vance became the candidate over other top picks. “You think, well, is this person, how did he get the job? Did he get it because he was really the best qualified to be president?” Hume said. “Or did he get it because he sucked up effectively to the nominee? People will have questions about that.” Vance was a fierce critic of Trump...

Back in 2016, JD Vance was riding on the success of his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, detailing his rags-to-riches story while growing up in Middletown, Ohio, under his Kentuckian-born family.

Asked directly by Breitbart News last year why parents should not have the right to know about their children’s gender transitions, Newsom dismissed the idea — first claiming that it was not an...

Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of Donald Trump's classified documents case may backfire on the former president, according to a slew of legal experts, potentially landing the presumptive Republican nominee in another court where he'd be less likely to win on the merits. In her decision Monday, Cannon opined that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith by the Department of Justice violated the Constitution. But she had long frustrated prosecutors and legal observers before this week for repeatedly delaying the trial and appearing partial towards Trump's team, culminating now in a ruling that one expert called "jurisprudential garbage." The decision,...

The Democrat party has three main factions vying for control. One of them is the Biden family. Another consists of down-ballot Democrat office-holders. The third one is composed of the intelligence agency heads, leaders of the dark state. There is also a fourth faction. ... The Biden family is a massive business that produces nothing except corrupt political influence. It is exemplified in Joe Biden’s laughing boast that he successfully coerced the Ukrainian government to fire its prosecutor, who was exposing the crimes of Hunter Biden. Hunter was a highly paid board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Hunter...
