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...

Uncomfortable private conversations in politics have a way of leaking out into the mainstream in the age of social media and mountains of gossip. One major storyline, acknowledged by all inside DC but only vocalized by a few in media, is whether anyone actually believes that Joe Biden is going to run for president again in 2024. The question is, if not Joe, who? -snip- I believe sadly and wholeheartedly that former President Trump plans on running again, and given the current state of my party that slobbers all over anything MAGA-related, it is unlikely there is anything or anyone...

Meghan McCain slammed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo in a Tuesday op-ed for The Daily Mail, calling him "unfit" for the job in the wake of allegations that he worked to defend his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), during his sexual harassment scandal. In the opinion piece, McCain questions why CNN hasn't already fired Cuomo, insinuating that CNN President Jeff Zucker may be attempting to save his own reputation. "Seriously, what does Chris Cuomo know about Jeff Zucker that is so compromising that Jeff doesn't want the American public to know?" she asks. "At this point, I can't...

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Daily Mail (U.K.) columnist Meghan McCain discussed the left’s reaction to Winsome Sears, a black Republican woman, elected Virginia’s lieutenant governor. MacCallum said, “I thought this was stunning. This is from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ they went off on Winsome Sears on the Update segment of ‘SNL’ the other night. Watch this.

There are many reasons I am excited about last night's barn-burner election results in the Virginia governor's race. First and foremost it is a clean, direct repudiation of the insanity that has overtaken school boards in Virginia, especially the divisive, toxic and dangerous agenda that is Critical Race Theory. And it is a devastating kill shot for a Democratic party that has gone so far off track from where normal, rational mainstream Americans currently are. There is truly no way for anyone to spin this any other way (although just a quick glance at Twitter will show that some of...

Kirsten Powers, a far-left commentator at CNN, joined many of her CNNLOL colleagues in justifying the outright harassment of people they disagree with. Referencing the despicable and unhinged harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) over the weekend, Powers tweeted on Monday: When challenged on her despicable support for this appalling invasion which equates to opposing civility, Powers remained defiant. “I’m flabbergasted,” Powers tweeted, “by people who think a US Senator has been harmed by constituents trying to get her to understand how her actions affect actual lives. If she didn’t want to be confronted in a bathroom, she could have...

Remember the media cheers for Sen. John McCain when he stopped the effort to repeal Obamacare? McCain was a Republican frustrating a Republican policy goal, which was enough to earn the highest praise in some media circles. "It was a stunning moment," The New York Times reported, "a flash of the maverick John McCain, unafraid of going his own way despite the pleas of his fellow Republicans." That was four years ago, and Donald Trump was president. Fast-forward to today, with Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats desperately trying to pass a massive spending bill that has been...

section class="post-body"> If you are having a difficult time recognizing American Democrats in 2021, you are most definitely not alone. Those of us who have been involved in politics for a long time remember a Democratic party that bears almost zero resemblance to whatever the heck is going on over there now. Yeah, they’ve always been a little nutty, but it used to be a manageable nutty.What we are witnessing now from the Democrats is a very public and ongoing nervous breakdown brought on by too many years of lying to the American people and themselves. Public incivility towards anyone...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declined to sign a proposed statement condemning recent protests against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) because it did not address her resistance to prescription drug reform and the Democrats' budget reconciliation package, Axios reported. Footage circulated over the weekend of activists following Sinema into a bathroom at Arizona State University, where she teaches, and calling on her to support the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. Sinema blasted the move in a statement on Monday saying it “was not legitimate protest." Jeff Giertz, communications director for Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), coordinated a joint statement among lawmakers condemning the protests...

Meghan McCain slammed the left after a “disgusting” bathroom accosting of Democrat Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and argued that the activists “filmed themselves committing a felony.”“Filming someone in a bathroom without consent is a class 5 felony in Arizona,” the former co-host of “The View” tweeted Mondays. “You all just filmed yourselves committing a felony,” she added, along with a retweet of a clip showing Sinema being chased into the bathroom and filmed at Arizona State University.
