  • Why the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago is a Gift for Trump's 2024 election

    Mr (president) Trump hasn't seen such outpouring of support from senior Republicans in a long time, and the incident looked set to light a new political touch paper that could propel him to the party's presiential noimination in 2024. The former US President is now, in the eyes of many Republicans who were shying away from him, the victim of an egregious attempt by a democrat administration to politicize the justice system. As one former Republican official put it, if Mr Trump is now now convicted of a crime, then "you have martyred him and guaranteed him the Republican nomination.
  • Jason Lewis sets record straight on DC ‘swamp,’ Trump and ‘cancel culture’ media

    Jason Lewis wanted to finish what he started. His time in Congress was cut short, one of more than 20 casualties of the Trump midterms, when Democrats picked up a net total of over 40 seats in the House. One of his regrets: he didn’t fight back hard enough. That’s why he wrote “Party Animal: The Truth About President Trump, Power Politics and the Partisan Press.” “Yet no one defied these rules more than Donald Trump. And so did I. But not nearly enough. This book is an attempt to finish the job and tell the real side of the...

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly preparing to discipline border agents who were falsely accused of having ‘whipped’ Haitian illegal immigrants for “administrative violations.” The reports of coming administrative punishment comes despite the agents having been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. Not to mention the photographic evidence indicating they had done nothing wrong during the incident. Fox News is reporting that an announcement on the disciplinary actions for the border agents will be incoming soon.

  • The Birth Control Industry Is Neither Liberating Nor Pro-Woman, But Fertility Awareness Is Both

    We’ve been sold a bill of goods about contraception and abortion, things we’re told ‘liberate’ us that actually suppress what makes us women.In all of the furor surrounding the (likely) imminent demise of Roe v. Wade, it has become clear to me that women have been made to fear and resent their biology for far too long. Too many women have bought the lie that they have no options but to rely on hormonal contraceptives and, if that fails, abortion. But the broad dependence on these methods — making women responsible to manage their own and men’s fertility — is...
  • Elon Musk Infuriates The Left By Exposing How Radical They’ve Gotten, Leaving Moderates To Side With The GOP

    Elon Musk on Thursday posted a graphic indicating liberals have moved so far to the left as ‘woke’ progressives that it’s left people in the middle inadvertently on the right side of the political spectrum through no fault of their own. The image shows a set of stick figures and lines representing the years 2008, 2012, and 2021. Each timeframe has three stick figures – one to the left representing a liberal, one to the right representing a conservative, and one in the middle labeled ‘me.’ In each, the liberal stick figure shifts – nay, runs – further to the...

    The Piñon Post ^ | April 26, 2022 | John Block
    On Tuesday, state Rep. Rebecca Dow released a new advertisement showing fellow Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti’s ties to George Soros-funded groups, first reported by the Piñon Post in 2020. Ronchetti addressed a “climate change” event in 2019 at the University of New Mexico, where he pledged to work with climate activists.As we previously reported: The radical group Ronchetti partnered with, Climate 350, is currently funding a campaign called “Vote Climate” that plans to use people in the media to help “educate” the public, namely REPUBLICAN VOTERS who they believe do not acknowledge the “science of climate change.”Dow’s campaign wrote...

    We say happy birthday to the Grand Old Party, the GOP, or, the Republican Party. The birth of the party happened in Ripon, Wisconsin, on this day in 1854. The new party was formed by former members of the Whig Party to oppose the spread of slavery into the western territories. In my case, I became a de facto Republican after the Kennedy administration fumbled The Bay of Pigs invasion.
  • ‘The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah Eviscerates Biden: World Leaders Would Never Have Dared To Ignore Trump’s Phone Calls

    Left-wing host of “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah, raised eyebrows when he slammed President Biden over reports that leaders in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) refused to take calls from the White House. Noah suggested that under former President Donald Trump, nobody would have dared ignore such phone calls. “Look, I know it’s hard to arrange those calls. You know, Riyadh is eight hours ahead, Biden is asleep by 4 p.m., it’s a narrow window to make it work,” Noah quipped.

    RNC Building ‘Army’ of GOP Poll Workers After Decades-Long Court-Ordered Hiatus The Republican National Committee is ramping up presence at the polls this year by enlisting thousands of workers ahead of the midterms, an operation it legally could not run for 40 years prior to 2018. “If elections are the cornerstone of democracy, then transparent and secure elections are one of the most important offerings that the RNC can have,” RNC spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez told Breitbart News. “And it happens to be the first cycle that we can get involved and stand up this operation the way that RNC chairwoman...
  • Don't Fall for It ! Democrats May Pressure the GOP Into Making the Filibuster Meaningless: An old strategy that’s worked for Democrats before may work again.

    Democrats are dusting off a familiar strategy to advance key pieces of President Joe Biden's agenda through the evenly divided Senate over Republican objections. In doing so, they hope to pressure Republicans to finally support their effort to take up the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. And Democrats' past success employing the strategy to compel Republicans to cooperate with them suggests that their plan could work again this time.Republicans have twice prevented the Senate from taking up the voting rights bill by filibustering it. The bill's supporters have called for changing the Senate rules to prevent a minority...

    Governing the Future of States and Localities ^ | November 21st 2021 | Clay S. Jenkinson
    In today’s polarized political climate, Americans nervously anticipate U.S. Supreme Court rulings with the same fervor with which they enjoy sports, and with the same goal in mind: namely, to win. But American government is not a game, cautions United States Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton. By forcing the Supreme Court to make notably divisive, winner-take-all decisions, he argues, we run the risk of politicizing the “crown jewel of American government.” No one at the American founding took the view that the U.S. Supreme Court should resolve the most difficult issues in American government or be the key...
