WASHINGTON — The search warrant on “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar hasn’t necessarily been “fully” completed, court documents in a legal fight between the feds and the media indicated. At dawn on Oct. 12, the feds executed a search warrant and raided Omar’s (D-Minn.) DC home as part of a probe into her immigration status in a stunning move less than a month out from the Nov. 3 election. To justify keeping the details of the records for the warrant under wraps from numerous media outlets, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro cited concerns that it wasn’t fully completed. “[G]ood cause...

John Cornyn, who lost the GOP primary to President Trump-backed Paxton. Last month, Talarico...

Kamala Harris insists she hasn't decided whether she's running for president in 2028, but she accidentally gave the game away. Obviously, nobody in the Democrat Party is exactly begging her to jump in. The establishment has been pushing back hard on the idea of a third Kamala campaign. Former allies and donors grumble that she squandered her first year out of office, and they can't come up with a single reason voters should take another look at her. Even her husband, Doug Emhoff, reportedly isn't thrilled about her running again. You'd think all that would give her pause. Instead, Kamala...

What replaces a nation that apologizes for existing? France is burning again. This isn’t new, as France has been stacking it for decades. Civilizations rarely die when the barbarians arrive at the gate. They die when the gatekeepers forget what the gate is for. In his televised address, French President Macron asked in anguish, “How can French people do this to France?” The question assumes a shared heritage and commitment among “French” people.
