There are always four phases to the Left's argument against an issue: 1. That thing isn't happening; it's a Right-wing conspiracy. 2. Okay, that thing is happening, but it's not happening much. 3. Yeah, that thing's happening and it's a good thing. 4. It's happening, it's a good thing, and we're not gonna let you stop us. Bigots. This story is somewhere between Steps 2 and 3. ne of the women accused of stealing and fraudulently casting more than a dozen ballots ahead of last November’s election pleaded guilty Monday. Vicki Stuart, 64, was charged with 34 counts related to...

At least four times now Justice John Roberts has betrayed the conservatives. Further he has twisted the law and written decisions that were legal contortions inconsistent with his legal ability and history. What has been going on? What could have motivated him to betray his country and his legal integrity like that? It has been suggested that Roberts is secretly homosexual, and he did pro-bono work for gay activists back in 1996, but the stigma attached to that has effectively been removed by societal changes over the decades. He appears to be happily married in the normal sense. It has...

Barack Obama has lost his mojo and ruined his brand. It used to be said that Joe Biden was serving Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House. The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife Michelle was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump. Well, none of it came to pass, and judging by his irrelevant poll numbers, Obama’s star has long faded....

President Barack Obama’s first act as a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009 — nine months after he took the oath of office — was to try to wriggle out of accepting it. “The morning the prize was announced, his staff investigated whether anyone had failed to travel to Oslo to receive their prize,” writes Nobel insider Geir Lundestad in “The World’s Most Prestigious Prize” (Oxford), out this month. Apparently, the president was among the 61 percent of Americans who believed he didn’t deserve it. “It is true, Obama did not do much before winning,” Lundestad, 74, a member of...

During an interview on MSNBC on Tuesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) declared that the problem in 2024 was “not enough Americans believed that, we, as Democrats or Vice President Harris and myself, were on their side, and we are. Our policies are popular. But that didn’t resonate.” .. I think the thing I learned is, is we need to be in every space, everywhere. Saturday night, I was up in Helena, Montana.

“I see the pundits on TV [asking], ‘what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?’ What’s wrong is our country is being stolen by fascists and Nazis and we’re trying to do all we can to try and [stop] that,” Walz said according to the recording... “We spent three days, you know, having them try to debate whether President Musk gave a Nazi salute,” Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow during a Jan. 28 segment. “Of course he did. But that is a distraction.”

With the start of the baseball season not far off, you might say CNN chief national correspondent John King is batting .000 CNN sent King out to Colorado's swing 8th congressional district -- a new district that stretches from the northern Denver suburbs up to Greeley -- to interview Trump voters just one month into his term. No doubt the network's hope was to find quickly disillusioned Trump voters who, if they had to do it again, would not have voted for him. The segment aired clips of interviews with four voters -- and King struck out every time.Get the...

Leading white supremacist and antisemite says he’s backing the Jewish candidate over Trump because of former president’s ‘full-throated subservience to Israel and the Jewish lobby’JTA — David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who is Jewish, on his radio show Tuesday. Duke, long one of the United States’ highest-profile white supremacists and antisemites, has repeatedly sought political office while spreading conspiracy theories about Jews. In his endorsement of Stein, he said that she was the candidate with the strongest stance against “Jewish power” because she opposed Israel’s military campaign.“Although Dr....

Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn said Friday evening on Fox News that the Democratic Party’s support from voters appears to be “falling off a cliff.” Democrats have struggled to find a unifying message since the party’s historic loss to President Donald Trump in November 2024. With former Vice President Kamala Harris losing the party’s once tight grip on many key voting blocs, recent polls show Trump with one of his highest approval ratings of his two terms.

On multiple days this week, staunchly racist Sunny Hostin put herself on a pedestal above all Americans and proclaimed to be part of the superior racial demographic . . While co-host Joy Behar was falsely whining about Elon Musk personally going through her Social Security records and IRS filings, during Tuesday’s show, Hostin bloviated about how she was “resting” and letting others deal with politics since she and other black woman already tried to save the country

Whenever I write about the decline of Hollywood, which regular readers know I do all the time, I often use the 1993 Hollywood release schedule as a benchmark for all that has been lost. If you pull up the list of Summer releases for 1993, almost every one of the top 50 movies released that summer is an absolute banger… movies you would stop and watch all the way to the end any time you stumbled on one while surfing through the channels on your cable TV guide… back when the cable TV ad model was still a thing. One...

A Washington election observer has been charged with a felony after refusing to wear a mask during the November presidential vote count. Timothy Hazelo, a Republican from Oak Harbor, was charged last week with unauthorized access to a voting center over a dispute that started when he refused to don a mask while monitoring ballot-counters. Police were called on the 57-year-old when he refused to follow the mask-mandate that Island County Auditor Shelia Crider had imposed on local ballot-counting rooms — a measure that Hazelo says the elected official had no legal right to establish. We have to stand up...

Jan. 20, 2025: After being sworn in, President Harris signs several executive orders, including one giving transgender athletes the right to dominate, er, compete against biological women in sports.

As for her Cabinet, Harris declares the Senate “must put democracy over party” and confirm all her nominees to “ensure the smooth transition of government.” Her team includes: Chief of staff: Alex Soros Secretary of state: Susan Rice Defense secretary: Liz Cheney Press...

The Office of Special Counsel found Marn’i Washington, the former Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor who told her team to “avoid” homes “advertising Trump” during Hurricane Milton response, violated the Hatch Act through her “bias[ed]” conduct. Washington is charged with two counts of violating the Hatch Act, one for engaging in political activity while on duty and another for using her authority or influence to interfere with or affect the result of an election.

President Donald Trump is expected to pardon former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, according to a person familiar with the plans. Blagojevich served eight years in prison on charges stemming from his effort to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat after Obama won the 2008 presidential election, until Trump commuted his 14-year sentence in 2020. Why it matters: Trump and Blagojevich have a relationship dating back to 2010, when the former governor appeared on the Trump-hosted "Celebrity Apprentice" after being impeached and removed from office. Blagojevich, who was a Democrat while in office, supported Trump in the 2024 election and attended the...

Intelligence firm Graphika said a Beijing-linked campaign known as "Spamouflage" spread disinformation about Spain's deadly floods last year. A Chinese online influence operation impersonated a human rights group in Spain to spread calls on social media for the Spanish government to be overthrown following deadly floods in Valencia last year, according to research by intelligence firm Graphika. The Chinese state-linked campaign — dubbed "Spamouflage" by analysts — posed as the Spain-based NGO Safeguard Defenders on social media platforms including Facebook, TikTok and X to circulate content criticising the government's response to the floods that killed at least 225 people last...

The California secessionist movement is fast becoming a political reality, even though it stands no realistic chance of ever succeeding. In a crucial first step towards their long term goal, secessionists have successfully filed a ballot initiative proposing that the state become its own country and secede from the United States. The initiative has now been cleared for signature gathering and will require 546,651 valid signatures by July 22nd in order to become a formal ballot initiative. If successful, voters would be asked in 2028 the following question: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent...

A California ballot initiative proposing that the state become its own country and secede from the United States has been filed and cleared for signature gathering. If the measure makes it onto the November 2028 ballot, it would ask voters: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” local news outlet KCRA3 reported on Friday. The guidelines would require 50 percent of registered voters to participate and a “yes” vote from 55 percent of voters, which would indicate “a vote of no confidence in the United States of America,” according to the report. The measure...
