Dear Democratic Party, and its allies and accomplices, Donald Trump supporters I know have asked me to dedicate some space to thank you for all you did to make their momentous win on November 5 a reality. They insist they couldn't have done it without your help. Here's a partial list of the many people and things Trump voters told me they believe fueled their victory.

President-elect Donald Trump is showing no signs of backing down on his campaign pledge to order the 'largest deportation effort in American history.' In a new interview, he is vowing to make the border 'strong and powerful,' and says financial costs – which some immigrant rights groups project could cost hundreds of billions of dollars – will not be an obstacle.

When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and...

Even before the US polls opened Tuesday, a vanguard of immigrants at least 5,000 strong set out on a long march from deep southern Mexico to the US southern border. But Trump isn’t waiting. Just a day before the caravans launched and he won his election, Trump threatened massive, debilitating tariffs on Mexican exports if Sheinbaum lets caravans make it to the border before he gets into office. “I’m going to inform [Mexico’s president] on day one or sooner that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a...

CV NEWS FEED // Results show that Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan played a significant role in President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the crucial battleground state this week. As CatholicVote previously noted, “Michigan has the highest percentage of Arab-American residents out of all the states (2.1%),” with the community’s estimated population in the state being between 220,000 and 400,000.

CV NEWS FEED // In the wake of the 2024 election, the president of Students for Life is calling on pro-life advocates to remain engaged, emphasizing that despite recent victories, the movement still faces significant challenges ahead. In a November 6 letter, Kristan Hawkins celebrated one of the biggest wins for the pro-life movement, which came from Florida.

The election has come and gone, and now it’s time to analyze the results. Family Research Council has analyzed the 11 abortion-related ballot initiatives in 10 states that Americans voted on during Tuesday’s election. Although pro-lifers are mourning the seven states that voted to enshrine abortion in their state’s constitutions, they’re also emphasizing the fact that the three states that voted to protect the unborn deserve recognition and celebration. The Washington Stand’s Dan Hart previously reported on Florida’s pro-abortion Amendment 4 and how it failed to pass. “The ballot initiative failed despite immense funding from pro-abortion activists, who poured over...

Explanation: Drifting near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy these dusty molecular clouds seem to extend a helping hand on a cosmic scale. Part of a local complex of star-forming interstellar clouds they include LDN 1358, 1357, and 1355 from American astronomer Beverly Lynds' 1962 Catalog of Dark Nebulae. Presenting a challenging target for astro-imagers, the obscuring dark nebulae are nearly 3,000 light-years away, toward rich starfields in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. At that distance, this deep, telescopic field of view would span about 80 light-years.

The U.S. Department of Justice has unsealed charges against three men, one of them Iranian, who were tasked by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to kill Donald Trump before the election. This is at least the second assassination plot by Iran uncovered by the Justice Department. The first plot involved a Pakistani national with ties to Iran who hired a "hitman" to kill Trump. The "hit man" was a federal agent, and the would-be assassin was arrested in July before he left the U.S. This is an entirely new plot uncovered by DoJ and is much more involved than the first...

Since the Dobbs decision, it is hardly a secret that pro-lifers have struggled in statewide direct democracy elections. Mainstream-media pundits frequently point out that supporters of legal abortion won seven straight ballot questions after Dobbs was decided in June 2022. However, the pro-abortion winning streak was abruptly stopped on Tuesday.

Florida’s situation was certainly unique because constitutional amendments require 60 percent of the vote for passage in the Sunshine State. Indeed, Amendment 4, which would have placed legal abortion in the state constitution,...
