Barack Obama will no doubt be chronicled, among other things, as the first anti-American president. No wonder; he’s the product of an educational system that has become increasingly radical and anti-American with each passing decade, and his mother was a stereotypical leftist anthropologist with a passion for the Third World. The pattern is unmistakable. As Luis Fleischman notes, Obama wanted to make deals with our enemies, Iran being the most dramatic example. But just look at Latin America: The Obama Administration tried to avoid confrontations with anyone it wanted to make a “historic deal” with. Most of these “historic deals”...

Haley, who eventually endorsed Trump in 2024 after dropping out of the race, characterized the president’s remarks as “classic Russian talking points” and “exactly what Putin wants.”

Donald Trump Jr. has mocked Nikki Haley after she criticized his father's choice of former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be the next director of national intelligence. The eldest son of President-elect Donald Trump called out Haley, the former ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, for comments she made on her SiriusXM show, accusing Gabbard of being a "Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer."

These include allegations that Gabbard spread Russian propaganda, spoke out against issuing sanctions against Iran, and expressed skepticism that...

Haley criticized both picks on SiriusXM’s “Nikki Haley Live.” She condemned Gabbard’s comments on Russia’s war on Ukraine and her support of a pardon for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. intelligence. “After Russia invaded Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard literally blamed NATO, our Western alliance that’s responsible for countering Russia,” Haley said. “She blamed NATO for the attack on Ukraine, and the Russians and the Chinese echoed her talking points and her interviews on Russian...

Haley urged undecided voters to look at both candidates’ policy proposals, which she said clearly show Trump as the better option in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published two days before Election Day. The former South Carolina governor wrote that she agrees with Trump most of the time — though he isn’t perfect — and disagrees with Harris “nearly all of the time.” “That makes this an...

Former Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley on Tuesday urged former President Donald Trump to scale back his "bromance and "masculinity" rhetoric in the last week of the presidential election, because he risks alienating female voters.

Haley endorsed Trump this summer after she suspended her own presidential campaign.

Nikki Haley talks with a caller about the factions of the Republican Party on her new SiriusXM program: "A lot of Americans wanted to see the change that Donald Trump brought in. But what you're seeing is the MAGA movement's doing what the Tea Party did. It's starting to fringe out, and they're caring about these one-off issues that wasn't something that was thought about. That's not all of MAGA, but you're seeing it kind of fringe out. And what's concerning is you're seeing certain MAGA people not like other Republicans. And so MAGA doesn't like moderate Republicans. They don't...

On Tuesday, former Republicans whose distaste for conservative populism has landed them in the Never Trump category — and were looking for a place to land with Kamala Harris — were left homeless once again when she went far to the left by selecting Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as a running mate.

Rumors of Trump suffering buyer's remorse after choosing Vance as his 2024 running mate have been rampant since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the likely Democratic presidential nominee. While Trump has publicly insisted that he is happy with Vance, saying the senator is "doing a fantastic job" and has been "very well received" by the public during a Fox News interview on Thursday, worries remain about whether the Ohio senator could be a liability for Republicans in November.
