Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough praised Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the Democrat presidential and vice-presidential nominees, respectively, for their policy proposals and endeavors.

Why? Because he wanted hungry kids in Minnesota to have breakfast and...

One of the things that deeply worries those who are planning to vote for Donald Trump is the possibility of election fraud. The fraud that worries them most is that corrupt precincts will wait to see how the wind blows before finalizing their vote counts.

“Kamala, you are supposed to drink AFTER the speech.” — Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA. “The entire Democrat campaign will now be focused on gaslighting the country into believing Trump has been president for the last 4 years and Kamala has been an innocent bystander the whole time. They can’t run on her record, so they’re going to invent one and lie about it.” — Sean Davis, The Federalist. Get this: there is one thing, one lurking terror, behind every fake and desperate move the Democratic Party has made this dire election cycle: the fear that hundreds of high officials...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become a major thorn in the side of the Democratic Party ever since he announced that he would be running for president as an Independent during this election cycle.

Five hundred years ago, no one suspected the 16th-century vessel the Nao Victoria would become the stuff of legend. In 1519, a Portuguese consul called the Spanish carrack “very old and patched up” and unfit to even “sail … to the Canaries.” Nevertheless, the Nao Victoria was chosen for a five-ship expedition, crewed by 270 men, that would come to be known as one of the most significant journeys in the history of human exploration. The captain of this unprecedented adventure was Portuguese explorer Fernão de Magalhães, anglicized Ferdinand Magellan. On September 20, 1519, he set sail aboard the flagship...

VIDEOUntil recently, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig's shtick has been to just idly sit back like a fat Buddha and sadly whine about how Donald Trump just keeps winning despite all the Lawfare tossed at him. However, the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity appears to have broken poor Luttig to the extent that his shtick has switched up and he has gone full angry Drama Queen chock full of absolutely HILARIOUS overacting about how Trump has won yet again.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Sunday, Aug. 21. Our losses at the fight at the Weldon Railroad, on Friday afternoon, were greater than heretofore reported. The number of prisoners taken by the rebels is now put down at 1,500. It seems that our troops were surprised, many of them being in their shelter-tents at the time, trying to escape the heavy rain that had been falling for several hours previously. The rebels first appeared about noon on the right of the road, in front of the Third Division of the Fifth Corps, but this was evidently a feint,...
