President Trump blasted out a fiery Memorial Day message first thing Monday — ripping the “scum” Biden administration for allowing scores of violent illegal migrants into the United States. “Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds,” he raged in a lengthy all-caps Truth Social post. The commander-in-chief blasted the prior administration for its open border policy put in place by an “incompetent president.” His holiday greeting also took aim at the judges who are “on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists,...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that Democrats have a good message, “The problem we’ve got, honestly, is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.” And “when you’ve got people saying we’re not going to fact-check, we’re not going to worry about whether or not you’re telling the truth and just let the reports go out there. That’s what’s killing us as Democrats, because we don’t have a stomach for just lying.” Clyburn stated, “I think the message that’s coming from the Democratic Party is a good message. The...

While President Trump honored Palm Sunday, King Charles III neglected it — instead honoring a pagan holiday.When President Donald Trump honored the Christian celebration of Holy Week before Easter, he took a striking stand against the spiritual atrophy consuming much of Western civilization. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s leaders celebrated a pagan holiday instead of Palm Sunday.“This Holy Week, Christians around the World remember the Crucifixion of God’s Only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Trump wrote on Palm Sunday on Truth Social. “[O]n Easter Sunday, we celebrate His Glorious Resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) responded to a question on whether Democrats need a message besides opposing President Donald Trump by stating that “Our message has been resonating.” Host Leland Vittert asked, “59% of likely voters believe the Democratic Party should adopt a more moderate stance. 27% think they should become more liberal. 37% of registered voters say they approved of the party, 36 in February, the lowest approval ratings for the party since March of 2018. Do you guys need a message other than opposing Donald Trump?”

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said Thursday that Democrats lacked a clear message during the 2024 campaign cycle, leading in part to their defeat in the race for the White House. In an interview on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” the progressive pushed back on the suggestion that the Democratic Party’s embrace of liberal policy positions lost them the election. “I think what happened is the Democratic Party lost touch with some of the things that … the progressive movement was saying that people cared about,” de Blasio said when asked “how badly” he thinks Democrats...

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) used social media on Thursday morning to make the entirely false claim that Trayvon Martin was “killed in an act of police brutality.” Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – she further added to her false claim by alleging his death was somehow attributed to “racially motivated violence that plagues our country.” No sooner was posted it posted than it disappeared, however Breitbart News captured the moment. See below:

Actor George Clooney shared a surprising message for President Donald Trump during his Tuesday appearance on CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, saying, “Good for you. I hope you do well, because our country needs it.” Clooney, who told Colbert that he was “raised” to be a Democrat, and reminisced on the presidential candidates he voted for winning and losing elections over the decades, stated, “This is democracy, and this is how it works.” “What am I supposed to do? Storm the *&*&^&^ Capitol?” Clooney added. “It didn’t work out. That’s what happens.” “It’s part of democracy, and there’s...

As the Democratic Party continues to grapple with former Vice president Kamala Harris' loss to President Trump, some leaders in the party think they should focus on their economic messaging and creating a coherent message to respond to the president. "We have no coherent message," Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, told The New York Times on Sunday. "This guy is psychotic, and there’s so much, but everything that underlines it is white supremacy and hate. There needs to be a message that is clear on at least the underlying thing that comes with all of this." The DNC elected Minnesota party...

Outgoing Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Jaime Harrison believes “identity politics” should remain the Democrat party’s core messaging theme moving forward. Harrison’s suggestion comes as the party is grappling with why President-elect Donald Trump won reelection in a landslide. Democrats have floated many theories. Some of the theories are here, such as suggesting black and Hispanic voters voted for Trump because they are misogynist. Identity politics is the tendency to view the individual as only a part of a monolithic group within the primary boundaries of race and sex. This perception ignores an individual’s preferences, decisions, and agency. In short,...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and “First Partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom are being mocked for a tone-deaf Thanksgiving message that name-checked indigenous Californians and illegal aliens but largely ignored everyone else. “Thanksgiving is an opportunity to especially celebrate the native peoples of this lad and reflect on their perseverance and endurance,” Mrs. Nesom said. “We’re grateful for all that you do and all that you are,” the governor chimed in.

Vice President Kamala Harris released a message on Thursday with her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, wishing everyone a “happy Thanksgiving” and expressing “gratitude” for U.S. service members and their sacrifices. In a video posted to X, Harris sits next to Emhoff, who talks about how Thanksgiving is a day when people “come together to reflect” on what they are thankful for. Emhoff adds that Thanksgiving is also a day where people cook their favorite recipes and “share family stories” with each other.

Israeli government spokesman David Mencer wished the American people, and the U.S. government, a happy Thanksgiving, adding that the State of Israel was thankful for the enduring support of the American people. “We are very grateful for the ironclad commitment and friendship and union with the United States of America,” Mencer said. “They have stood by our side in difficult times and in good times, none more so than in the last 419 days.”

President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

Vice President Kamala Harris dumped her so-called “campaign of joy” messaging for a more angry, bitter, and nasty tone with less than three weeks until Election Day. Polling shows Harris lost momentum in the past weeks while using the “campaign of joy.” Her new strategy appears to be the use of President Joe Biden’s 2020 and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 playbook that demonizes former President Donald Trump as unhinged, unstable, and unchecked. Politico Playbook reported the shift on Friday: You can see the change on the campaign trail, where Harris’ early emphasis on joy has given way to more direct verbal...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement Monday in commemoration of the October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, expressing sympathy for the victims but adding that she would “always fight for the Palestinian people.” Harris’s message continues a pattern of equivocation by the Biden administration — showing solidarity with Israel against terrorism, but also showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause in whose name the terror was committed. While describing the October 7 attack in graphic terms, and calling for the release of the remaining hostages, Harris also added that she was “heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction...

Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu issued statements in Hebrew and English on Sunday after the Israeli military pounded the Iranian-backed terror group in southern Lebanon, following several days of stunning strikes.

Vice President Harris’s campaign spokesperson says the campaign isn’t worried about the possibility that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will drop out and endorse former President Trump, saying their message “isn’t for” him, but rather for voters who are on the fence about a second Trump term. “I think our message, frankly, isn’t for RFK,” Michael Tyler said Thursday on MSNBC. “It’s for the voters who are looking for a place to go in this campaign.” Tyler, speaking from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, touched on the rumors that Kennedy will drop out of the race Friday and...

Family Theater Before television, we listened to the radio for news, weather, sports, and entertainment. What we heard influenced us just as television influences us today. One of the weekly programs was “Family Theater” which repeated the theme; the family that prays together stays together. A January 1, 1948 episode titled “Another Year” in which J. Edgar Hoover's New Year’s address gave me pause because we did not heed his message, which is applicable today, July 15, 2024.J. Edgar Hoover
