Meghan McCain vowed to make it her “personal mission to help campaign and fundraise” against any Senator who does not vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard to serve as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). “Any Senator who votes against @TulsiGabbard for DNI isn’t just going to have a problem with MAGA and Trump,” McCain warned. “I will make it my personal mission to help campaign and fundraise against you in your next election. And my people are probably a lot like their people.”

Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Sen. John McCain, R- Ariz., on Sunday backed President-elect Donald Trump’s call for the United States to retake full control of the Panama Canal. Trump wrote via Truth Social Saturday the Central American waterway is crucial for U.S. commerce, adding it is in America's interest to regain control of it. He urged Panamanian officials to cooperate upon his return to the Oval Office. “When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else,” Trump wrote of...

Meghan McCain mercilessly tore into Kari Lake as a 'loser' after projections show her failing in her bid for the U.S. Senate. While the Arizona Senate race has not officially been called, Decision Desk HQ has Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) winning against the Republican candidate. In response, McCain posted to X a meme of Lake at the wheel of a vehicle and the message: 'Get in loser, we're going losering.'

Meghan McCain ripped President Joe Biden Tuesday night after his off-the-cuff comments calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage.” Biden’s comments came in the final week of a tense campaign in which Vice President Kamala Harris has slowly but steadily fallen in the polls – and overshadowed a rally in which she made her final appeal to voters. The departing president in a Zoom call with the organization Voto Latino said “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” referencing Trump. The comment met quick condemnation from Republicans and a mixture of horror and denial from Democrats.

Meghan McCain on Friday threatened to share her late father’s honest thoughts about Kamala Harris — a day after the vice president invoked the memory of John McCain at an Arizona campaign rally. “The View” co-host fumed on X as she claimed that Democrats have “bastardized” her father’s memory for their own political aims. “Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to bastardize his memory for,” the 39-year-old pundit wrote on X, “But please don’t make me start sharing...

Meghan McCain, the daughter of late former Republican presidential candidate and Senator John McCain, posted to social media that there is "no family drama," after her brother took a selfie with Democratic vice-presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. "Yes, I am over here the last republican in the family," McCain posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday. "Albeit, it feels strange, everything is okay. There is no family drama."

It's make or break time, America. President Donald Trump leads Governor Ron DeSantis, his closest competitor, by up to 50 percentage points. Let's be clear about what DeSantis is up against. He's splitting the 'anyone but Trump vote' with seven other GOP candidates. But there is a way through – just listen to New Hampshire's Republican Governor Chris Sununu. 'If seven of those candidates have the discipline to get out, Trump loses,' Sununu said in a new interview this week. 'Make it a one-on-one race, Trump loses. There's no question about it.' So here we go: a plea to the...

The mainstream media wall of silence protecting America's First Family has been crumbling for some time, but now its whole rotten foundation may collapse. And when those bricks come tumbling down, Joe Biden better cover his head. Wednesday's jaw-dropping implosion of Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal – delivered to him on a silver platter by his daddy's Justice Department – is too shocking for even the left-wing lapdog press to completely ignore. When Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika blew a faint breath at the proposed agreement, it fell apart like a house of cards. The judge simply asked government prosecutors and...

President Donald Trump’s floundering presidential campaign got the shot in the arm it desperately needed. Well done, Alvin Bragg! Trump’s most ardent supporters and most his vocal critics, from Senator Mitt Romney to New York Times columnists, are condemning Trump’s indictment as an appalling political hit job. And the liberal news media – for all their handwringing over another Trump term – are more than happy to thrust him down America’s throats. Trump is leading all newscasts and topping all the websites. Why? Because it garners Trump’s critics the fantastic ratings that they’ve been missing since he left office. Whether...

According to the Washington Examiner, the book had only sold 244 copies as of Friday

During an appearance on FNC’s “MediaBuzz,” Daily Mail columnist Meghan McCain likened liberal backlash to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter to that of “babies.” McCain called the response a “little tantrum” from the left because of the shift of power. I’m addicted to Twitter, and I’ve been on since 2009. And I think if you work in media or interested in news, it’s a really powerful and useful space. There’s no doubt that a lot of people have been shadow banned on the right. And people have had their accounts taken away for innocuous things like, you know, saying, my...

Conservative pundit Meghan McCain says that Tuesday’s disappointing midterm election results for Republicans might have put the “final nail in the coffin” for former President Trump’s political career. In an op-ed published by the Daily Mail Wednesday, McCain, a former panelist on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View,” wrote that Republicans “are waking up this morning outraged and confused” because the GOP has so far failed to gain majority control of the House and Senate despite “the highest inflation rate in decades, crime that is “up everywhere” and President Biden’s low approval ratings.

Political analyst Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), responded on Monday to comments made by Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) about her father, calling them “bile trash.” “Everyone has been asking me for comment on this bile trash from Kari Lake,” wrote McCain over Twitter in response to an article discussing Lake’s remarks. Lake referred to McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee for president who died of cancer in 2018, as a “loser” at a campaign event on Friday. “We don’t have any McCain Republicans in here, do we?” former television anchor Lake asked the event’s...

A high-profile Washington, D.C. conservative pundit exploded in anger during a podcast interview he was conducting when his guest suggested that the burgeoning conservative Christian nationalist movement would inevitably push for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage. After asserting that Dave Rubin’s gay “marriage” is something “beautiful,” Ben Domenech, a Fox News contributor and founder and former publisher of The Federalist, lashed out at his guest, National Conservatism movement leader Yoram Hazony, who had said that “gay marriage is already back on the table,” ripe for a revitalized national public debate. Domenech, showing...

I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead - Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster. The voters have spoken - be careful what you wish for…— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) August 3, 2022

American presidents for the past several decades, since the end of the presidency of Ronald Reagan, have had a pretty abysmal record when it comes to the U.S. geopolitical relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin. -snip- In 2013, my father participated in freedom protests in Kiev alongside Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and spoke in front of thousands of protestors. He told them 'We support your just cause, the sovereign right of Ukraine to determine its own destiny freely and independently. And the destiny you seek lies in Europe.' In 2014, following the invasion and annexation of Crimea by Russia my...

I knew that I was tempting fate when I reposted a meme on my Instagram Stories joking about dodging golf balls at a driving range. That’s how I felt – having gone nearly two years into the pandemic without catching Covid. But then several weeks ago, my husband felt lightheaded and developed a bad cough. We agreed to have him go downstairs to our guest room and isolate from me and our daughter until he could get a test. The fastest and easiest way to get a test in our area in Virginia is not to get an at-home rapid...
