Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that there was no lie too big for former President Donald Trump or his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Partial transcript as follows: MARTHA RADDATZ: A lot of hard work ahead. I’d like to hear a quick reaction to what you heard J.D. Vance talk about. BESHEAR: It’s just amazing. Apparently, there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. I mean, when you ask him about the last election, all you’re asking him to do is admit reality, and we deserve to have a vice...

Most of you likely remember the horrific story of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old Houston girl who was lured away by two illegal migrants, gang raped, and murdered, with her body being unceremoniously dumped into a bayou. The two migrants suspected of the horrendous crime, Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, were later taken into custody. These terrible stories are all too common, no matter what Kamala Harris and the Democrats try to tell you, but this case has taken an unexpected turn which makes it all the more enraging, assuming that's even possible. Ongoing investigations...

Since 2022, global demand in the arms market has expanded rapidly as many countries rush to restock on systems and munitions as well as adopt new technologies that were increasingly proving their worth in Ukraine. In that environment, the Republic of Korea has become an increasingly prolific arms exporter, with the Korean defence industry working to sustain not just the ROK Armed Forces, but also inking major contracts with buyers from the Asia Pacific to Europe. So following an invitation from the organisers of Korea's largest Defence Exhibition, the Korea Army International Defence Industry Exhibition (KADEX), I thought it was...

Now that President Joe Biden’s political career is officially over, Hunter Biden must find a new way to profit himself, given that his family can no longer peddle money from shady foreign businesses and his so-called “art” deals. According to experts in the art industry, Hunter Biden’s art career is a thing of the past. Now that the president’s time in the District of Corruption is over, so is his son’s shady art business. “His father is no longer relevant in the maelstrom, which is politics,” Charlie Horne, president of Gurr Johns, an art valuation and advisory firm, told the...

For David Tasker, an 18-year-old construction worker in Pennsylvania, his top financial priorities are having enough money for gas, dining out and spending on his girlfriend while living at home with his parents. But he worries about the rising prices he’s seen during his teen years as he’s emerged into an economy experiencing decades-high inflation. For his first election, he said he will be voting for former President Donald Trump with those higher costs and concerns about the wider economy in mind. “Trump can run America like a business and Kamala would run it as a classroom,” Tasker said. “Trump...

This story has been updated since publication.In a major reversal from her guidance just days ago, Secretary of State Jane Nelson now says non-citizen driver’s licenses may not be used as a form of voter identification.The Texas Department of Public Safety issues driver’s licenses and personal identification cards to lawfully present noncitizens, which are clearly marked “Temporary Visitor” or “Limited-Term” and expire after one year or when the individual’s period of lawful presence ends.An advisory from the Secretary of State issued Tuesday afternoon stated that while citizens should not use these types of IDs to vote, poll workers should nonetheless...

by Torrance Stephens, PhDOver the past several years, sex has become more politicized than ever before. This effort has been mainly due to rhetoric from the progressive left. From pronouns to biological men competing against women in sports to a person who can say they are a man or a woman and promote that we should believe them. There is also the liberal attack on men in general, on so-called toxic masculinity, misogyny, and the patriarchy. Now the Democrat party is upset they are losing the vote of men, black men in particular. The party that nominated a Supreme Court...

Raddatz: "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes... A handful!" @JDVance : "Do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border?"

Barack Obama has drawn fury form black men after he launched an astonishing attack claiming that 'brothers' who don't vote for Kamala Harris are sexist. The former president, 63, addressed supporters during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh last week, where he claimed that there was a lack of enthusiasm for the vice president 'that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.' Obama said: 'You're thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that´s a sign of strength, because that's what being a man is? Putting women down? That´s not acceptable.'...

RUSH: Yesterday on this program I discussed the 1980 election, Ronaldus Magnus and Jimmy Carter, and in it I described the election night coverage that night and how I will never forget it. Because this was the election that they called it for Reagan before California had even closed the polls, it was such a landslide. Yet the last polling data going into the election in 1980 had Jimmy Carter winning by nine points. And so Cookie went back to the archives and got a bunch of audio from John Chancellor, Judy Woodruff, Tom Brokaw and David Brinkley on NBC’s...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she did not have “faith” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will certify the 2024 presidential election. Moderator Kristen Welker said, “President Biden said he does not know if there will be a peaceful transfer of power in 2025. You just heard how the House Speaker answered my question about how he would certify the election results. Do you have faith that the election will be free and fair and there will be a peaceful transfer of power.”

Aaron Rice has two logos tattooed on his left leg: one from the plumbing business he co-founded more than a decade ago, and another from the private-equity-backed company that recently bought it. “The trades are hard work. A lot of today’s society, picking up a shovel is foreign to them,” The wave of investment is minting a new class of millionaires across the country, one that small-business owners say is helping add more shine to working with a tool belt. Rice continues to work as a sewer department manager at Rite Way, and plans to stay with the company until...

Recent Saturday Night Live skits mocking Kamala Harris have sparked social media uproar - as many viewers believe these sketches are bad news for the candidate. The iconic late-night show has been airing sketches featuring the Democratic presidential nominee since 2019, when she was president Joe Biden's running mate. Famously played by Maya Rudolph, Harris' character has now been hurdled into the spotlight as the November election approaches - and SNL fans have had a lot to say about her portrayal.

J.D. Vance left a New York Times reporter stunned by dismantling the argument that illegal immigrants are essential to the U.S. economy. The Senator made the case that a simple solution to the migrant crisis would be to employ 7 million male Americans who have dropped out of the labor force, rather than relying on the annual inflow of approximately 2 million undocumented migrants. Vance says he doesn’t think America needs to rely on cheap immigrant workers and advocated for Donald Trump’s proposal to deport all undocumented people living illegally in the U.S.

Kamala Harris is failing to attract votes from men, especially minority men, which has her campaign in a panic. On the other hand, she does great with the liberal, wealthy white women who are referred to as “wine moms.” They are the readers of Vogue magazine, the ultimate home court for Harris.So it is no surprise to see Harris–I believe for the second time–on the cover of Vogue...Vogue officially endorses Kamala as “the candidate for our times,” and the accompanying article is hagiographic. But virtually no one will read it. Vogue is like the Playboy of decades ago: no one...
