In retrospect, maybe running the DEI hire for president was not a good idea. On the other hand, President Joe Biden's revenge plan worked perfectly. As reported by The New York Times, after his catastrophic debate, Biden’s White House staff kept presenting congressional Democrats with data proving he still had a much better chance of beating Trump than his vice president did. Then, the moment he was defenestrated, guess who Biden endorsed? Kamala Harris, the candidate he’d told them could not win. But she was a black lady, so … checkmate! Inasmuch as the sole motivating factor of the modern...

The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the “bipartisan” border bill, covered in my last column. (Quotes on “bipartisan” because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump!

The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the "bipartisan" border bill, covered in last week's column. (Quotes on "bipartisan" because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump! It's been reported everywhere. I'll include bylines so you know whose reporting never to trust: -- Reuters by Ben Kellerman, Mica Rosenberg and Ted Hesson: "Biden is now...

Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter tells "Dan Abrams Live" that the Trump-Vance campaign has nothing to fear from Kamala Harris, while the Democrats have plenty to be worried about from Vance, who she says is a monumental pick for the campaign. (see short VIDEO)

Donald Trump's recent proposal to give a green card to every immigrant who gets a degree from any college reminded me of his performance at the 2020 debates with Joe Biden. Here's the 15-second version: "You did a crime bill, 1994, where you called them super-predators. African Americans are super-predators and they've never forgotten it. They've never forgotten it." "I'm letting people out of jail now ... you have treated the African American population community, you have treated the black community about as bad as anybody in this country." "If you look at the polls, I'm doing better than any...

The crisis at the border is the No. 1 issue with voters, and it’s killing the Democrats. To my surprise, my party — the stupid party — has done something smart (which Fox News tried to talk them out of). They’ve forced Democrats to vote on the impeachment of the man orchestrating the invasion, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Democrats know that if they don’t shift the blame for President Biden’s immigration policies to the GOP, they could get slaughtered this fall. They might even get Trump reelected.Their plan: Work with open-borders, amnesty-supporting Republicans to concoct an immigration “deal”...

Over the weekend Ann Coulter posted a short tweet seemingly supporting President Trump’s death. Coulter somehow discovered an old tweet from July 2023 that asked her what Trump needs to do to return America to its former glory. As Gateway Pundit readers know, Joe Biden and his regime have embarked on destroying America from the moment he assumed power. Instead of providing a thoughtful response, Coulter instead retorted: “Maybe he could die?”

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter expressed her frustration with Republican Trump voters over the weekend and made the case for why she doesn’t believe the former president can beat President Joe Biden in a general election. “How many people who voted for Biden in 2020 have since switched to Trump?” Coulter asked on X/Twitter before breaking down the electoral math as she sees it: 1) those who voted for Trump but who’ve since died (older white people); 2) immigrants who turned 18 in the last 4 yrs and will vote (minorities); 3) Republicans who voted for Trump in 2020, but have...

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter had little patience for Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican presidential candidate went fully conspiratorial about January 6th. Once upon a time, Ramaswamy called the events of January 6th a “disgrace,” and he condemned Donald Trump over the former president’s actions that fueled his supporters into violently revolting against the results of the 2020 election. Now that Ramaswamy is running for president as a Trump-boosting alternative, he decided to mark January 6th as “Entrapment Day” on X while dredging up the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. Ever since the storming of the Capitol, Trump’s defenders have tried to...

Democrats have three paths to victory next November, all being eagerly embraced by Republicans.PLAN A: Enrage Republicans by bringing a string of ludicrous indictments, civil suits and ballot disqualifications against Donald Trump, thus tricking the GOP into making him the nominee.RESULT: Joe Biden easily wins a second term. If Trump behaves as we know he will, Biden wins even if he's dead.Wait, but why would Republicans make Trump the nominee just because -- OH MY GOSH, IT'S WORKING!!!When Trump declared his presidential run on Nov. 15, 2022, he was dead in the water. November, December, January, February -- polls all...

The media are trying to pick the GOP nominee for us just like they did with John McCain. (Remember how great that worked out?) Once again, their pick is the whiny warmonger -- this time, Nikki Haley.No wall and guaranteed to lose! What's not to like? (Democrats: Please! Anyone but Gov. Ron DeSantis!)This week, headlines hyped the results of a Wall Street Journal poll showing Haley beating Joe Biden by 17 points!Does anyone think that Haley will beat Biden by 17 points? The only presidential election decided by anything close to that in the last half-century was in 1984, when...

Ann Coulter Tries to Debunk Ray Epps "Conspiracy Theory" by Invoking NY Times

Ann Coulter escalated her war of words with Donald Trump, branding the former president a “gigantic p—y” after he referred to the conservative commentator as a “has-been” and a “stone cold loser.” “Trump begged me to come to Bedminster this week, I said only if I could record a substack with him, but the GIGANTIC P—Y is too afraid of me, so instead he did this,” Coulter wrote in a post on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter. *** The firebrand conservative media personality records a video interview show called “Unsafe” that she publishes on subscription-based Substack,...

The media are so desperate for Republicans to nominate Donald Trump that they’ve turned over 96.7 percent of their programming to covering him, with brief interruptions for Emmett Till updates. Like dogs playing a game of fetch for eternity, they never tire of rehashing Trump’s legal troubles, his behavior on Jan. 6 (which has now been more investigated than the Kennedy assassination), his payment to a stripper, his call to election officials in Georgia and on and on and on. It has become clear that the media also plan to make the GOP presidential primaries entirely about Trump. Every Republican...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said in a written statement on Tuesday that Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg is setting a “dangerous precedent” by criminalizing a political opponent. Romney, who is no fan of Trump, said in reaction to the indictment of Trump: I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office. Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda. No one is above the law, not even former presidents, but everyone is entitled to equal treatment under the law. The prosecutor’s overreach sets a...

Indeed, as DeSantis moves toward a White House run, it is becoming increasingly clear that the 44-year-old Republican governor will manage his presidential aspirations in his own way, on his own timeline, with or without allies in national GOP leadership or relationships with the press. “DeSantis has, in his style and the actions he’s taken as governor, shown a willingness to fight the traditional powers that be, the establishment,” said David McIntosh, president of the Club for Growth, an influential conservative group based in Washington. McIntosh described DeSantis’ style as “refreshing” and suggested the GOP is ready to move on...

Ann Coulter went on a racist tirade earlier this week in which she suggested that Nikki Haley “go back to [her] own country” where people are “starving” while “worshipping cows and rats.” Coulter also referred to Haley as a “bimbo” and a “preposterous creature.” Haley, the Indian American former governor of South Carolina who declared her candidacy for the GOP nomination for president earlier this week, has not commented on Coulter’s remarks, which she made on “The Mark Simone Show.” Coulter told Simone she was particularly angered by then-Gov. Haley’s decision to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of...

For at least a half-century now, every special pleader in America has made the following argument: Yeah, but what if we were black?This is supposed to be rhetorical kryptonite, capable of anathematizing "discrimination" against any group: atheists, women, gays, immigrants, illegal immigrants, the disabled, Muslims -- basically anyone except a fully abled, cis-gendered, white male born in this country.Oh my gosh! You're right -- we DO have to let girls try out for the Green Bay Packers!OK, fine, we'll hire more blind lifeguards.Of course, Shadi Abdullah is welcome to be president of our campus Hillel group.Naturally, the "What if they...

president of the United States, he used to brag to anyone who would listen about the important people who called him. (You know, the way a lot of serious adults do.) Rupert Murdoch calls me every day! He proudly produced the letters he’d exchanged with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to journalist Bob Woodward, telling him the letters were "soooo top secret," and asking Woodward (again, a JOURNALIST) (for The Washington Post!), "Don't say I gave them to you. OK?" This is a man who faked a Time magazine featuring him on the cover with the headline, “TRUMP IS...
