I was chatting with the dad about this topic, and came to a conclusion regarding de-escalation: there is nothing Trump can say regardless of how well his unity message comes across because Hitler would say anything to gain power (eye roll), and there isn't much Biden can do, either. I think we're in this mess due to the MSM amplifying insane things for click$ which feeds the social media echo chambers where it is further amped. I hate the thought that it's possible the future of our nation now lies solely in the hands of the MSM. Maybe I see...

Joe Biden has defended calling Donald Trump a threat to democracy, as he gave his first interview since the attempt on his political rival's life. The president said his campaign had a duty to clearly communicate the threat of a second Trump term, and disagreed there was a need to tone down his rhetoric. However, he told NBC's Lester Holt it had been a "mistake" to have said it was “time to put Trump in a bullseye" during a private donor call days before the assassination attempt. … About a dozen Republicans have blamed Mr Biden and other Democrats for...

Welcome to Restoration. The great story of Western civilization, our core creeds, and the Judeo-Christian moral framework on which our societies were built are all under siege. At least three ideologies are pedaled as alternatives: 1. Communism: This resurgent communism is cultural. It is firmly embedded in our core institutions. It is international in outlook, and breath-taking in its subversive ambition. And it again has traction among the young. 2. Technocracy: The Technocratic Managerial Regime, as analyzed by N.S. Lyons, is ascendent in most every nation it seeks to dominate. 3. Islamism: A radical and aggressively metastasizing version of Islam...

Is California slated to become Gov. Gavin Newsom’s gender transition sanctuary state? Gov. Newsom just signed Assembly Bill 1955 by Assemblyman Chris Ward (D-San Diego), the bill to prohibit schools from notifying parents if their child is “gender confused” or “transitioning” to the opposite sex.

Thomas Crooks’ phone has offered federal investigators no clear explanations about why the 20-year-old from suburban Pittsburgh tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post. Investigators have now turned their attention to the shooter’s laptop in the hopes of uncovering clues about his motive — a question that has proven still elusive two days after the shooting that rocked the nation. Investigators have been able to piece together some clues about Crooks’ movements in before the shooting at 6:11 p.m. on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Earlier in the day, he bought 50 rounds of ammunition...

Former President Trump on Monday received one of his biggest wins yet in fighting his criminal charges when a judge tossed his classified documents indictment.

Here are five takeaways from Trump’s major win: First of Trump’s indictments dismissed Decision latches onto Thomas’s concurrence Jack Smith plans to appeal Ruling comes at start of GOP convention Ruling divides Democrats, GOP

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...

Stepin Fetchit was an American film actor who became the very first African-American film actor to earn a million dollars in Hollywood. He made his name in an era when the black people were dominated by the whites in the industry. He was also the first ever black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film, which reflects the harsh reality of the industry that time. He was initially signed by the Fox Pictures, then dropped by them, and then re-signed. He acted in over 40 films between 1927 and 1939, a time when contracts for black actors were...

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...

He argued that it would be impossible for someone to get onto a rooftop with a gun during broad daylight while a president was speaking without assistance. “I’m very familiar with the layout of these...

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. The book resonated with many across the country by allowing them to view southern Appalachian, rural Americans through a more positive scope than they had ever seen before. Overnight, Vance became a media darling but was quickly criticized by establishment media for awakening a new understanding of Rust Belt culture, Appalachian values, and the struggles of economically disproportionate whites in the United States. Meanwhile, the country was being taken over...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill into law Monday that bars schools from informing parents when their child decides to change his or her gender, effectively stripping parents’ rights to know about gender transitions. The bill, AB 1955, euphemistically called the Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth Act, and sponsored by Assemblymember Christopher Ward (D-San Diego), was also backed by statewide Democratic officials. 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...

MINEOLA, NY — After five months of legal wrangling, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has signed a trans athlete ban into law. Prior to putting his signature on the bill, Blakeman said he was there to "celebrate what I believe is landmark legislation that will protect the integrity of women's sports, the fairness of women's sports and the safety of women's sports." Blakeman initially put forth an executive order in February banning trans athletes from competing at county facilities. However, Attorney General Letitia James would take Blakeman to court for taking the controversial action. Nassau County Democratic Minority Leader Delia...

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,...
