Two liberal pundits broke down what they believe could be President-elect Donald Trump’s code to winning the White House. New York Times columnist Ezra Klein and MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes discussed the differences between the approaches of Republicans and Democrats when it comes to attention and money in politics. In a recent podcast episode titled “Democrats are Losing the War for Attention. Badly,” the two pundits theorized why Trump and the Republicans were so successful at garnering support in 2024. Klein first suggested that Republicans value attention over money, while Democrats value the inverse. “Money is very powerful when there’s...

“I feel sorry for Mitch,” Trump replied. “He’s not equipped to be leader, mentally. He never was.” “Under him, the Republican Party was going to h*ll,” he added. “McConnell never really had it. He had votes because he gave money to senators.”.. “I was the one that got McConnell to drop out of the leadership position,” Trump pointed out. “He’s not voting against Bobby [Kennedy], he’s voting against me. He’s a very bitter guy.” “But we have a very strong party, and he’s lost his power. It’s affected his vote.”

Amy Coney Barrett strikes again—alongside Justice Roberts. However, by now, Roberts’ betrayals have become pretty much predictable, but many had high hopes for Barrett, given her history as a clerk for Justice Scalia, one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices of our time. In fact, she was once hailed as “Scalia’s heir.” ... Sadly, that claim couldn’t be further from the truth. In what many conservatives are calling an outright slap in the face, Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts dealt a blow to President Trump and the US Constitution. They got political, sided with the progressives, and ruled...

He CALLED his local FBI office and turned himself in. He was initially charged with two misdemeanors (1) knowingly entering a restrictive ground or building (2) disorderly conduct on...

He loves sparkles and bright colors despite being a shark,” and “Seasil: A regal tang fish who becomes friends with Finn. Seasil wants to shake up the regal tang tradition and do...

What’s left of the desiccated corpse of USAID has been absorbed into the State Department, with most of its workers laid off and its overseas missions shut down. The veneer of aid work has been obliterated, thanks to the work of President Donald J. Trump and DOGE, which uncovered a litany of wasteful spending. It was a primary driver of favors and pork for the political class. The gravy train derailed, and the vehicle for moving slush funds was deactivated. That’s why the Left freaked out about the end of USAID. The agency also played a part in the impeachment...
