Elissa Slotkin, the former CIA analyst turned battleground senator, will on Thursday start road-testing what she calls a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.” In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to...

The dopiest, sleaziest, most tone-deaf Times article since their fawning puff piece on the actual Hitler.“Imagine my surprise,” writes left-of-Stalin-himself “comedian” Larry David in a New York Times op-ed Monday, “when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.”Although Larry has looked about 105 years old for the last couple of decades and could be even older, he wasn’t actually reporting on something that happened to him. He was mocking and indirectly excoriating his fellow leftist Bill Maher for meeting Trump...

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is apparently going to outline in an upcoming speech a “war plan” to defeat President Donald Trump (R) who won her state during the 2024 presidential election. During an interview with Politico about the speech she will deliver in Lansing on Thursday, Slotkin claimed the president is doing “a whole bunch of things that I think are a threat to our economy and a threat to our Democracy and I have a responsibility on behalf of my state to point that out and try to do something about that,” the outlet reported on Thursday. A recent...

Rep. Jamie Raskin threatened foreign leaders who “facilitated authoritarianism in our country” by currying favor with President Trump on issues like deportation — saying that Democrats will not “look kindly” on his supporters when they “come back to power.” Referencing El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele specifically, Raskin (D-Md.), 62, suggested that Dems should keep score of foreign leaders who brownnose Trump, 78, during his second term. “Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism...

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has thrown her support behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the accused MS-13 gang member and alleged domestic abuser who was deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. “Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism,” the former secretary of state wrote in a Wednesday X post: “If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone,” Clinton continued. “Americans of conscience must stand against this now.” Abrego Garcia, 29, entered the United States illegally when he was 16...

An attorney from the nonprofit that pushed to relocate a historic Jesus painting at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York, called the midshipmen who recently cheered its restoration "cowards" and "Christian nationalist insects." Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, accused the young midshipmen of violating their constitutional oath for applauding Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s call to bring the painting up from the basement where it was moved during the Biden administration. Weinstein’s accusations come as a midshipman associated with an on-campus Christian fellowship group explained to The Christian Post...

Left-wing commentator and Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s administration was causing “an impending police state.” Tribe said, “I been in school for 50 years studying the constitution, teaching about it. It doesn’t enforce itself. It takes human beings of character to take it seriously. And when for whatever combination of cultural and social reasons, the nation selects someone who clearly has no respect for the constitution, someone who is cruel, someone who is without moral principle this is what we see. We see a tinhorn dictator interacting with a wannabe...

David Hogg, a controversial Democratic National Committee vice chair, is pledging to upend Democratic primaries by funding candidates who will challenge “ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats. The move puts Hogg, the now 25-year-old who first gained national stature as an outspoken survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, on a collision course with his own party and some Democratic House members. Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison raked in $10,000 in campaign donations shortly after meeting with individuals linked to a nonprofit that stole $250 million from a federal program meant to feed hungry children during the pandemic. “I’m not here because I think it’s going to help my re-election,” Ellison said during the Dec. 11, 2021, meeting with two future criminal defendants linked to the Feeding our Future scandal, according to audio obtained by the Center for the American Experiment, a conservative Minnesota-based nonprofit. Days later, on Dec. 20, 2021, Ellison received $10,000 in campaign contributions from individuals linked to Minneapolis...

Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas is urging all residents to oppose the federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act. In a release from her office Thursday, Thomas says the legislation is “bad for Connecticut, bad for voters and bad for taxpayers.” The U.S. House passed the bill this week. If it passes the Senate and goes into effect, the bill would require in-person voter registration with physical proof of citizenship and eliminate online and mail-in registration. Thomas warns everyone that the measure would place costly, unfunded mandates on municipalities, burden local election offices and open the door...

On Feb. 10, Francis addressed a letter to all American Catholic bishops on immigration. His communique was titled “Letter of the Holy Father Francis to the Bishops of the United States.” Here is an excerpt of what he said. “Dear Brothers in the Episcopate, the book of Exodus, invites us to look at the reality of our time, so clearly marked by the phenomenon of migration, as a decisive moment in history to reaffirm … the infinite and transcendent dignity of every human person.“Even a cursory examination of the church’s social doctrine emphatically shows that Jesus Christ … did not...

Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Princeton University professor and network contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. said he believed people voted for President Donald Trump because they did not want to elect a black woman. Glaude said, “I don’t know what it’s going to take for the American people, for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make the choice to elect this man again, to make the choice will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have.” He continued, “The choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republican to...

An arrogant illegal alien decided to run her mouth about her status during an anti-Trump protest in DC. Unfortunately for her, she now has the attention of Team Trump. As TGP readers know, thousands of radical leftists have invaded major cities across America and the world on Saturday to protest against the Trump administration’s policies. Of course, these protests are far from spontaneous as far-left groups such as Third Act, Indivisible, MoveOn, and Fight Back Table have been involved in the planning for weeks. One speaker during the “Hands Off” rally in DC was Greisa Martinez Rosas, the executive director...

Would be a shame if @ICEgov sees this!

Bette Midler is singing songs of joy after getting rid of her Tesla.“What a joyful day!” the diva posted on Instagram and Bluesky. “I sold my (gulp) Tesla!”Though Midler is known for her environmental advocacy, she celebrated ditching the electric vehicle, saying she sees Tesla as “a symbol of racism, greed and ignorance” due to its association with CEO Elon Musk.

In yet another attack on President Donald Trump, some Democrats have targeted his immigration policies by calling for the deportation of his wife, Melania Trump. This outrageous and politically driven statement not only defies common sense but also reveals the left’s obsession with politicizing every aspect of Trump’s life, no matter how absurd. Although Melania Trump is a naturalized American citizen who followed the legal immigration process, left-wing critics are now exploiting her status to advance their anti-Trump, anti-immigrant agenda. These calls for her deportation serve no real purpose other than to further the left’s desperate attempts to undermine Trump’s...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that suggestions someone other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should lead his nation was “horrific.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Let me start with Ukraine and that Oval Office meeting. The reaction continues to pour in, and you just heard me speak with House Speaker Mike Johnson. He left the door open to the possibility that it may be necessary for President Zelenskyy to resign in order to get to a broader peace agreement. Let me ask you this question, do you think that President Zelensky needs to resign in...

If you want to seize private data from the people and conduct a political hatchet job, call Elon Musk and his night crew of juvenile computer hackers.

Elon Musk, with son in tow, appeared in the Oval Office Tuesday for a press conference and gave an update of some of the waste and fraud that DOGE is digging up. This event has triggered all of the people who think Musk is the co-president. .."So name one thing y’all have seen about JD Vance & what he is up to. I was watching clips of Trump & Elon in the Oval Office and thought this is weird, but uhhh even more odd is that he clearly has a partner in crime… it just doesn’t seem to be the...
