Why have the October 7 attacks triggered a culture war in the West? Because parts of our Left are anti-Semitic and the Right is calling them out? Absolutely. But this is also psychological displacement: we’re so shocked by the murder of Israelis, distressed by the bombings in Gaza and, unable to comprehend an intractable problem, that we withdraw into the familiar language of domestic politics. The Times of Israel reports (as spotted by Sumantra Maitra of The American Conservative) that Washington ordered officials to permit humanitarian aid in to Gaza: “The Americans insisted,” said the defence minister, “and we are...

Hamas’s unprecedented invasion of Israel would in “no way” have transpired under the presidency of Donald Trump, according to world-renowned military historian and professor Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, who also argued that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and China would not have sent spy balloons over the U.S., as he urged America to take back its international standing. Speaking on former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia John Anderson’s “Conversations” podcast Wednesday, Dr. Hanson suggested that “to his credit,” former President Donald Trump demonstrated American deterrence and determination through his assassination of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani and destruction of...

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday promised to carry out “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history” in the pattern of the Eisenhower model, making the vow during a speech in Dubuque, Iowa.Trump delivered remarks on securing the border and stopping illegal immigration in the country.“One of the most important issues in this campaign is ending the nation-wrecking catastrophe on our southern border,” Trump’s prepared remarks read.“Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in U.S. history. Now, we have the worst border in the history of the world,” they continue, deeming the current immigration crisis as an...

Victor Davis Hanson informs that in order for Trump to ever lead properly again, he will need to focus on the future of America, rather than dwell on the injustices that were inflicted on him in the past. As the USA is a global power, the future for them can mean the future of the world.

This is the big one. The Economic Policy is the distinct and singular policy at the core of Make America Great Again. The MAGA coalition is centered around the principles of America First economics, and Ron DeSantis has just admitted he does not support them. CTH has long warned about Ron DeSantis’ economic policy being driven by the donors who fund him. When he was in congress, DeSantis voted in support of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for President Obama, and DeSantis voted in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement (TPP). These are the trade policies supported by the Club...

Today, America First Legal (AFL) and co-counsel Christopher Mills won our lawsuit to stop establishment politicians from silencing the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. In a forty-page opinion, United States District Court Judge Cameron Currie permanently blocked the enforcement of state statutes that sought to limit the expressive and associational activities of the Freedom Caucus and other “legislative special interest caucuses,” finding them to be “a ban on speech.” The court held that these laws, written to favor the House Democratic Caucus, House Republican Caucus, the Black Caucus, and the Women’s Caucus, violated the Freedom Caucus’s First Amendment and Equal Protection...

Former Trump presidential adviser Stephen Miller’s America First Legal formally demanded that Target be transparent in the midst of backlash against the big box chain for its decision to sell “pride”-related items for children. The group, working on behalf of the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), served Target Corporation with a “formal demand for the production of corporate books and records” about its alleged support for a “radical LGBT political agenda” that has reported cost the company billions in market valuation since the middle of last month, according to a news release issued Tuesday. Because the NCPPR is...

As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government. It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations – two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control. The priority for both clubs, Republican and Democrat, is NOT politically or culturally ideological....

With an eye on the 2024 election, young conservative influencers are trying to get a handle on how to reach out to their increasingly alienated generation and pull them back to the Republican Party. Speaking with Newsweek's Katherine Fung, conservative commentator and OutKick podcaster Tomi Lahren, who built her reputation as a staunch defender of Donald Trump, said she is worried about 2024 -- particularly following reports that Joe Biden's digital strategy team is working hand in hand with liberal influencers to reach out to more young voters. "If we want to win [the 2024 election], we're going to have...

The GOP held District Conventions across Georgia yesterday [4/22/23] in part to select District Executive Leaders and Representatives to District and State Committees as the party prepares for their State Conference to be held in June. The majority of delegates appear to prefer candidates committing to an "America First" approach going forward and are demonstrating their wishes with their votes.

In a new Agenda47 video released today {Direct Rumble Link Here}, President Donald J. Trump explains the difference between the globalist establishment class, and those who are truly committed to stopping the Ukraine war and dismantling the entire neo-con nation-building industrial complex in Washington, D.C. WATCH: video [Transcript] – “We have never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden. A global conflict between nuclear-armed powers would mean death and destruction on a scale unmatched in human history. It would be nuclear Armageddon. NOTHING is more important than avoiding that nightmare. We will avoid it....

Following up on my February 28th post regarding the Russia-Ukraine War, occasionally the question is sardonically asked why Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t invade Ukraine while Donald Trump was President. The progressives who, to this day, believe Trump was a Russian stooge struggle for an answer. If they were correct, surely Trump would have done nothing more than harrumphed, gone off to play a round of golf, and told Ukraine good luck. Some on the right side of the aisle believe Putin held off out of fear as to how a loose cannon like Trump would respond, one option being...

With all of the attention currently being paid to Russia and China threatening to drag us into world war 3, apparently North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was feeling a bit left out. Yesterday, the diminutive tyrant decided to launch one of his country’s latest and most advanced ICBMs. The nuclear-capable Hwasong-15 was sent on a nearly vertical trajectory, rising more than 3,500 miles in a flight that lasted more than an hour before falling back down into the ocean between their country and Japan. Kim described the test as a demonstration of his “fatal nuclear attack capacity” and analysts believe...

The wringing of the hands is furious. With another election less than a month away the anxiety is fierce. And the barbs are already flying. I’m not talking about the distraction of Trump vs. DeSantis [cut] I’m referring to the election of the next Senate leader for the GOP now that “Cocaine” Mitch McConnell has lost the Senate for the second cycle in a row. Elections bring about accountability. It’s time to make a change and that change should be an advocate for America First. With the media peddling the idea of the red “trickle” most haven’t looked at the...

Despite the apparent success of the retreat, the loss of Kherson still represents a major defeat for Putin and his armed forces. It was the sole regional capital captured by his army since the invasion began, and sits in a region he declared to be part of Russia just a few weeks ago. Ukrainian flags are flying in the centre of Kherson once again, as Russia fled eight months after taking city Locals gathered on the streets to welcome Kyiv's men as official said entire city is almost under their control Ukrainian artillery hammered Russian units fleeing across Dnipro River...

"When did racism against white people become OK?" the ad from Miller's America First Legal begins. "Joe Biden put white people last in line for Covid relief funds. Kamala Harris said disaster aid should go to non-white citizens first. Liberal politicians block access to medicine based on skin color. Progressive corporations, airlines, and universities all openly discriminate against white Americans. Racism is always wrong. The left's anti-white bigotry must stop. We are all entitled to equal treatment under the law."

America First politician Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Tuesday night successfully fended off a primary challenge from Mark Lombardo, according to projections.
