The 2024 election left Democrats with three fundamental questions. First, what is the party "about" (i.e., what are our core principles)? Second, how do we explain what we are about (i.e., what is our "brand)?" Third, how do we approach the Trump 2.0 era in a way that matches those core principles and strengthens that brand? In other words, what is our strategy? The answer to all three starts by recognizing a painful truth: that the crux of President Donald Trump's argument was right. It hurts to hear (and to write), because of the sheer awfulness that he brings to...

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced on Friday that his office has filed a lawsuit against the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department over illegal immigration. "I filed a lawsuit against St. Joseph County Sheriff [William] Redman and his department over their persistent practice of refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities," Rokita told reporters at the press conference in South Bend, Indiana. He continued, "This includes refusing to notify ICE properly about the release of illegal aliens and also refusing to honor ICE detainers. This deliberate decision to not cooperate with federal immigration authorities is giving safe harbor to criminal...

Moscow is in a tizzy: The denizens of the Russian capital did not see this version of President Trump coming for Mad Vlad. Prior to Trump’s inauguration, Russia’s gilded oligarchs and apparatchiki were confident the 47th president of the United States was going to serve Ukraine to Russian President Vladimir Putin on a silver platter. That was then. This is now — and the man from Mar-a-Lago has Moscow panicking. Instead of giving Putin the golden keys to the Ukrainian kingdom, Trump issued an ultimatum to the Kremlin: Cut a deal to end the war or, as he posted Wednesday...

Just days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a senior WHO leader turned to social media begging for donations. Maria Van Kerkhove, a leading infectious disease expert and the WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, posted a call for donations to the WHO Foundation on X Thursday morning. As of Friday afternoon, the fundraiser had only managed to collect $23,000, nowhere near its $1 billion goal.

A New Jersey Mayor has shared new footage of 'glowing orbs transforming into drones' over Long Island, adding more intrigue to this ongoing mystery. Michael Melham, the Mayor of Belleville, has been outspoken about the unexplained phenomena plaguing his state and the greater tri-state area since mid-November when the drones first appeared.

Former President Barack Obama was cheered by diners when he arrived at a hip Washington, DC, restaurant without his wife, Michelle, this week — as wild, unfounded rumors swirled about a possible romance with actress Jennifer Aniston. Patrons at the Beltway hotspot, Osteria Mozza, burst into applause and shouted “Whoo!” as the 63-year-old ex-commander-in-chief strolled into the eatery solo Saturday night ahead of President Trump’s inauguration, new video shows. “We miss you!” one woman can be heard hollering. Obama is seen climbing a staircase in the footage, then waving at fans seated at tables in the second level of the...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass drew the ire of California wildfires victims Friday after suggesting during a meeting with President Trump that residents will be allowed to start rebuilding “right away” – when they haven’t even been allowed to see the devastation up close yet. “No, that will not be the case,” Bass responded, when told by the president that he’s heard it will be 18 months before Pacific Palisades residents that lost their homes can start rebuilding. Bass, 71, claimed that fire-affected homeowners “really shouldn’t have to go through much of a process” once city and county officials clear...

President Donald Trump fired 17 independent watchdogs at multiple government agencies on Friday, a person with knowledge of the matter said, eliminating a critical oversight component and clearing the way to replace them with loyalists. The inspectors general at agencies including the departments of state, defense and transportation were notified by emails from the White House personnel director that they had been terminated immediately, the source said on condition of anonymity. The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires the president to give both houses of Congress reasons for the dismissals 30 days in advance. The White House did...

“The tempter came and said to Him . . . Then the devil . . . Again, the devil . . .” (Matthew 4:3, 5, 8). Our temptations are similar in kind to what Jesus faced. First, Satan tries to get us to distrust God’s providential care and solve our own difficulties by our own strength and cleverness. Second, the devil will tempt us to presume on the Lord’s protection by having us willingly place ourselves in danger’s pathway, where we can meet all kinds of physical and spiritual harm. Third, he appeals to our selfish ambitions in hopes we...

This bombshell revelation overshadows Bill Gates’ scandal from last October, when he was caught secretly donating $50 million to the Harris-Walz campaign, despite publicly claiming to be nonpartisan and not supporting either party. Earlier today, Alex Jones was able to duplicate the findings of other journalists who were able to sign the petition and falsely claim they were doctors against the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for Secretary of HHS. It’s important to note that journalists began investigating the “petition” site because legacy media reported on it as if it were real and not a hoax. Please review last...

President Donald Trump on Friday said he wants California to implement voter ID laws before he would approve federal funds to help it recover from massive wildfires there and said he might eliminate the federal emergency response agency."I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote.

After that, I will be the greatest president that California ever has ever seen," Trump said during a visit...

Harvard University-affiliated astronomers announced the discovery of a new asteroid zooming precariously close to Earth — only to learn it was actually a Tesla sports car launched by Elon Musk as a publicity stunt seven years ago, scientists said Friday. The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., officially registered the new space rock Jan. 2, saying it was spotted hurling through the final frontier roughly 150,000 miles from Earth, according to Astronomy magazine. Its distance was closer to the planet than the moon— prompting the scientists to declare the asteroid had the potential to some day slam into Earth. The...

President Donald Trump added to his excellent pro-life record today by reversing Joe Biden’s policy forcing Americans to fund International Planned Parenthood.

The pro-life policy prohibits American tax dollars to groups that promote or provide abortions overseas. The move defunded two major abortion chains of hundreds of millions of American tax dollars. The International Planned Parenthood...
