Trump announces immigration official Tom Homan as ‘border czar’

The party went into an election with policies it couldn’t defend—or even explain. Although most Americans agree that transgender people should not face discrimination in housing and employment, there is nowhere near the same level of support for allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports—which is why Donald Trump kept bringing up the issue. His campaign also barraged swing-state voters and sports fans with ads reminding them that Kamala Harris had previously supported taxpayer-funded gender-reassignment surgery for prisoners. The commercials were effective: The New York Times reported that Future Forward, a pro-Harris super PAC, found that one ad “shifted...

Kamala Harris’s speech conceding the presidential race to Donald Trump was a doomed effort to stay atop the Democratic Party after she led it to crushing defeat. After her loss became clear on Tuesday, it took 18 hours to compose the rhetorical flights of fancy she wanted, supposedly to inspire hope amid a Trumpian darkness closing in on her weeping followers.

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it’s that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump’s success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are even close to correct, proves that the entire “fascist” scare was a flop. Indeed, the establishment press are less trusted than virtually any major institution in American life. It’s a well-earned ignominy. It’s also a tragedy for a free nation that we have a...

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ former communications director floated a wild plan to make her the first female commander-in-chief — all President Biden has to do is resign. Jamal Simmons, who served as part of Harris’ team from 2022 until 2023, urged Biden to step aside so that Harris could make history — even despite her massive defeat to President-elect Donald Trump. “Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise — to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president,” Simmons posted on X. “It’d turn [the] tables on Trump, keep Kamala...

70 years old and I've never seen or heard of anything like him. Trump may not be human.

A collective sense of dread has taken hold at the Department of Justice, which drew Donald Trump’s rage like no other part of the federal government during his campaign. Some career attorneys at DOJ are already considering heading for the exits rather than sticking around to find out whether threats from Trump and his allies are real or campaign bluster. Those threats range from mass firings of “deep state” lawyers to expelling special counsel Jack Smith from the country. “Everyone I’ve talked to, mostly lawyers, are losing their minds,” said one DOJ attorney, who like most of the people interviewed...

In the 2011 HBO documentary One Nation Under Dog, a Haddonfield Rhodesian Ridgeback named Duke was euthanized on camera. The dog had bit off a girl’s ear in 2009 and then attacked a teenager in 2011. In New Jersey, a vicious dog with a pattern of aggressive behavior can indeed be euthanized. Dog bites are a serious public health hazard, and appropriate measures must be taken when a dog has demonstrated that it acts aggressively. To allow the dog to continue attacking is simply irresponsible. Euthanasia is actually the most common way that both house cats and dogs die. It...

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) has been accused of “betraying” his own party for speaking out against male transgender athletes in girls’ sports, with one Salem lawmaker even calling on him to resign.“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday. “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,”...

Former North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commander James Stavridis predicted on CNN's Smerconish on Saturday that the Russia-Ukraine war will end with Russian President Vladimir Putin taking 20 percent of Ukraine. President-elect Donald Trump has previously said that if he were at the negotiating table with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the war between the two Eastern European nations would end "within 24 hours." Now that Trump won this year's presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, the world will be looking to see how he handles the war. Stavridis, a retired admiral who frequents TV...
