As we head into Milwaukee for the convention, and we recover from an attempted assassination of former President Trump, I ask all to please remember Bernell Trammell.

The lack of curiosity in the press about his senseless and apparently political murder is predictable, but what is surprising is the way local police appear to be following their lead. Shannon Brandt, 41 and the accused in this case, told the authorities that Ellingson, 18, was a “Republican extremist” and that the...

Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at a rally for Donald Trump in Michigan on Saturday night. A video shows her accusing Democrats of murdering Republicans, saying the "killings" have already begun. She referenced two local stories, neither of which appear to back the claim that Republicans are being hunted down. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene deceptively claimed at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday that Democrats are murdering Republicans. "I'm not going to mince words with you all," Greene said. "Democrats want Republicans dead. They've already started the killings." Greene, who has repeatedly spread bizarre conspiracy...
