The left is targeting the electoral system and local election boards. Their strategy appears to be simple: Make the rules. Decide the game.Democrats have been on a swing-state crusade to rid election boards of anyone who is more concerned with the fairness and accuracy of our elections than with making sure the Democrat comes out on top. The left’s strategy is predictable yet effective. Utilizing a sophisticated information campaign that includes law articles, op-eds, boots-on-the-ground activism, and large amounts of funding from a handful of elite megadonors, the crusade targets GOP candidates at the local level, as Politico recently reported.The...

I really don’t like politics. But as Christians, we must not distance ourselves from politics because it’s politics and politicians that direct our public discourse, and it’s what we do as Christians, regarding politics, that determines the trajectory of our society and culture. We must not be ignorant of the devil’s devices. Will we continue to allow God and Jesus Christ to be erased and minimalized, or will we stand boldly for the One we claim to serve? Will we continue to bow the knee to “Caesar” or is there no king in America except King Jesus for us? Will...

True to form, the left is back to employing criminal vandalism to censor the views of others. My husband and I live in a Long Island suburb. As we near Election Day, Trump 2024 flags are appearing on our block. Last week, the flag on a house directly across the street, as well as a flag hanging on the home of a recent widow were defaced, ripped totally in half, and pulled down. My “God Bless Trump 2024” flag remained intact. The person doing the vandalism probably didn’t see ours hanging from a pole. That was until last night. This...

Leftists are desperate to have the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, believing that higher rates are hampering the “country’s ability to combat the climate crisis.” As the media increasingly speculates about the prospect of the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September, clean energy companies and their backers on Wall Street are hoping that the presumed rate cuts would alleviate the heavy borrowing costs for “Big Renewables” over the last two years. Charlie Gailliot, a global cohead of climate at the private equity firm KKR, said, “The energy transition is very capital-intense. In a lower rate environment, you’ll see a tailwind...

President Joe Biden’s health “absolutely” played a role in him stepping aside, Frank Biden said Sunday, noting he wants to “enjoy whatever time we have left” with the 81-year-old. The statement by Frank Biden, who is the brother of Joe Biden and plays a part in the Biden family business, raised eyebrows as to the status of Biden’s health. “Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero,” he told CBS News. “In my humble opinion, absolutely,” Frank said when asked if Joe Biden’s health played a role in him stepping...

From the little man on the wedding cake to Donald Trump. On Saturday evening, we saw where the left’s overheated rhetoric leads.Leftists have called Trump a traitor, an insurrectionist, a dictator, and much more. Above all, they have repeatedly likened him to the man whose name has become synonymous with evil, Adolf Hitler. Is it any wonder, in light of the way the left has portrayed Trump since 2015, that someone tried to kill him?Trump, however, is by no means the left’s first Hitler, and likely won’t be the last. You probably remember “Bushitler,” but this reprehensible and incendiary tactic...

The Democratic Party (Democratic in name only) has no candidate. 80% of the country has known it for months or years (the other 20% are too terrified to admit it). If there is no candidate, then there is no positive vision of the future to market. The only thing left is negative campaigning, attacking the opponent, or, as we all know commonly: fearmongering. We’ve had a pretty exciting Summer in terms of politics. Lots of historic things are happening, and certainly both sides of the political spectrum can agree that our country-we as a people-are not having our greatest hours....

Not moments after someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump, the trending topic on X was, disgustingly, “they missed” and “how did they miss.” Just how depraved do you have to be to sink that low? There have been plenty of examples of division in our history, and no, you don’t need to go all the way back to the Civil War to find them — many Americans are still around who personally witnessed the political turmoil and political killings of the 1960s. But today feels so uncivilized, so sad. That someone would decide that they had to kill a former...

The right-leaning media and pundits are excited: Marine Le Pen’s party gained twice as many seats in recent French elections. The left-leaning media and commentariat are thrilled, too: Le Pen’s right-wing party won the popular vote but landed only third place in the French National Assembly. If both sides of the political spectrum are so enthusiastic, it could mean only one thing: something is missing here. The answer lies most likely in conflating two different political spectra: absolute and relative. Since Stalin proposed the modern relative political spectrum, it garnered popularity, and members of the Frankfurt School of socialism brought...

The recent French election illustrated that elites will happily ally with left-wing radicals just to prevent the right from winning.After a promising first-round lead, France’s right-wing National Rally party came up short in the second round of the country’s legislative election. It ultimately came in third for seats in the National Assembly, France’s lower house, behind left-wing coalition New Popular Front (NFP) and French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance, Ensemble.More than 300 contests in the first round proceeded to a three-way runoff involving National Rally, the NFP, and Ensemble. If those three-way races had gone ahead, National Rally had a...

Woke is not what it used to be. For some years, the term was used to describe those who are sensitive and involved in the struggle against social injustice, especially in U.S. politics, but also in the politics of other countries following suit perhaps to a lesser degree. Woke was a label proudly worn by activists in pursuit of social and climate justice: from Black Lives Matter to the #MeToo movement and the fight against global warming. Woke seemed to advocate a new era of equality and justice.

That kind, tolerant and thoughtful woke left is doing what it always does - resorts to violence when things don't go its way!

The campaign previously said the single best hour of fundraising came immediately after Biden's debate against Trump The re-election campaign for President Biden says it has raised a whopping $27 million since his rocky debate performance against former President Trump. From the day of the debate through Friday evening, the Biden-Harris campaign told Fox News that it had raised $27 million. The updated figure comes after the campaign said on Friday that it raised $14 million in "a sign of strength of our grassroots support" on debate day and the morning after. The campaign also noted Friday that 11 p.m....

This syndrome is raging among the left as the latest Real Clear Politics poll average shows President Trump leading in a two way race against President Joe Biden. Trump’s lead is even greater when five presidential candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are included in the polling.

Among many far-left Democrats, there is an uncontrollable hatred of President Donald Trump. These individuals suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a condition that Dr. Drew Pinsky, a board-certified physician and addiction specialist, said infects “people that get tied up in the hysteria…people that are suggestible, hypnotizable, the ones that feel out of control…have an external locus of control….detached…from their internal feelings…and placed everything out here.” This syndrome is raging among the left as the latest Real Clear Politics poll average shows President Trump leading in a two-way race against President Joe Biden. Trump’s lead is even greater when five presidential...

Alyssa Milano says that celebrity activism is at its best "when we are able to hand over the microphone" to the "incredible heroes" doing activism work day to day. She's pictured above in July 2018 at a protest following President Trump's meetings with Russia's Vladimir Putin. A longtime activist, Milano says it's impossible to avoid "the vitriol," especially when talking about the Middle East. Alyssa Milano first became an activist more than 30 years ago. But she tells the story of her eureka moment like it was yesterday. In the late 1980s, when she starred in the sitcom Who's...

The systematic mayhem is by design and will continue as long as the Left is in charge. Much is being written and spoken about regarding possible forms of leftist driven chaos this summer leading up to the election. Due to their worsening prospects of winning back the executive branch, it may be time for them to shake things up (again). The question is, how? Will they usher in WWIII by playing “poke the bear” with Russia? Will they employ their merry band of useful idiots -- Antifa, BLM, the rainbow brigade and other terrorist cabals, to instigate widespread “peaceful protests”...

Evil is the absence of conscience; psychopathy is the lack of empathy and conscience; thus, many left-wing agitators are evil incarnate. Eric Hoffer, in The True Believer, identified three groupings of people involved with mass movements: men of words, practical men of action, and fanatics. These can be further summarized as the benefactors -- politicians and community leaders who gain power through aggressive protests; the agitators who play the role of true believers by manipulating causes and people to gain recognition and power; and the cannon fodder, those who are easily manipulated and see social justice as a means to...

Biden’s talk of Our Democracy™ is a smokescreen. He and the broader left have no faith in the electorate, voting, or majority rule, as well as absolute hatred for at least a plurality of voters. In business, they say the customer is always right. This was long true in politics too. No one dared to attack voters, even when they supported an opponent. The voters were all Americans who had a right to their own opinions. Those on the margins were always in play. This was one of the salutary customs of American political life. Such respect for the voters...
