With less than two weeks to go before a special election in a Tennessee Congressional District, newly resurfaced audio shows how the Democratic candidate really feels about the seat she is running to represent. Aftyn Behn, a Nashville Democratic state representative who is her party's nominee, said she 'hates' the city that would anchor her potential congressional seat. 'I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville. I hate it,' Behn can be heard saying in the resurfaced clip from the GRITS podcast...

Cyndi Greening has a distinct memory of when Donald Trump won the presidency last November. It’s from her living room floor. The former college professor from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, said she cried there for days until her 37-year-old son interjected: “Get up and do something. What’s the matter with you?” That’s when the Chippewa Valley Indivisible group was created. At the first meeting in January, 28 people showed up. At the next, it was 68. It then grew to 124. Today, membership is nearing 1,900. On Saturday, they’ll be among the millions of people marching in nationwide “No Kings” protests,...

Gabby Giffords gun control group, Giffords, claims the public is less safe now Publix Super Markets made clear its Florida stores will comply with Florida’s open carry law. Open carry went into effect on September 25, 2025, and on October 9, 2025, Breitbart News reported that Publix confirmed its policies will be in compliance with the state’s new carry format. On October 12, 2025, Giffords posted to X: “We should all be able to go on a grocery run without worrying about if we’ll make it home, but now anyone can openly carry a gun in Florida’s largest grocery store...

Maureen Napleton, legal counsel at Napleton Auto Group in Hinsdale, is facing backlash over social media posts in which she celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and called for violence against President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska in a historic attempt to end the more than two-year war between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, tens of thousands have died, while millions have been displaced. The Alaska summit marked the first serious step toward direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev. But for ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and the rest of the propaganda press, a Trump-negotiated peace itself was a problem. Instead of acknowledging the significance of Trump’s diplomacy, Raddatz spent her Sunday segment disparaging the president for daring to treat Putin like a...

Another day, another Democrat “public servant” caught behaving like she’s above the law. On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.” According to a press release from the Newport Police Department, officers were dispatched at 9:51 p.m. on August 14 to the Clarke Cooke House after an entitled Hogan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, reportedly refused repeated requests to leave. According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan...

Their podcast is a microcosm of the attitudes held by the white, college-educated women who dominate the Democrat party. The Democrat party has a branding problem that no amount of spin or slick marketing can fix. It is not just about policy failure, though inflation, a porous border, and international weakness all weigh heavily on voters’ minds. The deeper crisis is cultural: the Democrats have transformed themselves into a party that sneers at ordinary people, particularly working-class whites and the very nonwhite voters they once claimed to champion. Nothing illustrates this better than the antics of Jennifer Welch and Angie...

There was a video that made the rounds a few days ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. In some ways, it’s a garden-variety video of a crazy lady. What makes it memorable is that it’s being framed as the quintessential “leftist Karen.” That raises an interesting question: Does leftism make women crazy, or are crazy women drawn to leftism? The question sounds simple, but it actually has serious implications for American society. The video shows a woman chasing after a man because he violated her standards by having a purebred dog, from which she inferred that...
