An abiding mystery of this lunatic Fourth Turning is how it came to be that the supposed intellectual elite of America was the class that so shamelessly lost its collective mind, got behind ideas that ranged from absurd to disgraceful — “Defund the Police,” “boys in the girl’s locker room,” “voter ID is unfair,” “dismantle capitalism,” “no one is illegal,” “mostly peaceful riots,” “Covid vaccine mandates” “CIA-run censorship,” — and finally decided to march under the banner of communism, history’s most floridly ruinous political program.The answer is that intellectuals are in the employ of the racketeering operation that is Washington’s...

Of all the outside advisers urging President Trump to seize control of federal elections this fall, the attorney Peter Ticktin can claim the deepest ties; the two men went to military school together as teenagers. In 2022, Ticktin helped Trump sue Hillary Clinton. This year, he pushed Trump to secure a pardon for Tina Peters, a former Colorado clerk convicted of charges related to tampering with election equipment.

My outlook on the upcoming mid-terms is bleak. With so many Socialists running throughout the United States, one would think that this is a great time die for the Republican candidates to talk about the U.S. Constitution. Instead, it seems that once again, the Republicans are steadfast in their ways to give this election to the Democrats. What say you fellow Freepers?

Did you know that recently released Census Bureau statistics show the poverty rate in the United States fell to a record low in 2025? That's an extraordinary development, but it has so far not attracted a lot of media coverage and discussion. What about a big White House event featuring President Donald Trump touting a welcome decline in poverty and increase in income? There hasn't been one. "I dunno, but if I were president and the poverty rate dropped to the LOWEST RATE ON RECORD, I might make a big deal out of it — a lot bigger deal than...

The Iran war could reshape the midterms as Democrats, Iran’s regime, dissidents, and Kurdish rebels weigh the political and military stakes of the next 50 days. Many narratives swirl around the U.S. war with Iran as the November 3 midterm elections loom. The Left is giddy with confidence that Democrats may take control of Congress. It is therefore planning a circus of impeachments, lawfare, and investigations to neuter the last two years of the Trump administration. High gas prices and the current unpopularity of the Iran conflict, coupled with the historical reality that the president’s party has lost seats in...

One of my favorite stock market phenomena happens every four years, and it’s scheduled once again for this fall: midterm elections and the gridlock – sweet gridlock – that can spark a nice bull run afterwards. Yes, the congressional midterms routinely create an increasingly gridlocked legislature that accomplishes relatively little. This may not be welcome for whoever’s running Washington, but historically, it has proven to spark the most consistently positive nine-month cycle for US and foreign stocks. It all starts in October, so don’t let all of the noise over inflation, oil and war distract you from missing out on...

Former Trump staffer Michael Caputo endured a decade of lawfare that he says forced him out of his home and gave him cancer from all the stress. But just when he thought the Russiagate nightmare was over, he was slapped in the face this month with a lawsuit cooked up by a former DOJ lawyer from the “national security” unit that hounded him and other Trump associates over alleged foreign agent violations without laying a single charge. It’s a simple $100,000 contract dispute case, but Jack Korba, formerly a prosecutor in the small national security section of the District of...

YARDLEY, Pa. (AP) — Mary Ryan may be a registered Republican but she has never voted for President Donald Trump, turned off by his crass style of politics and chaotic approach to governing. But the 60-year-old medical writer from the Philadelphia suburbs has consistently backed her party’s congressman, five-term Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick. Until now. This year, Ryan is so fed up with Trump and his grip on Congress that she is planning to vote in November for Fitzpatrick’s Democratic opponent in the 1st Congressional District, Bob Harvie, a twice countywide elected commissioner who is a former social studies teacher.

This video features a political rally held by Donald Trump in Gastonia, North Carolina, on September 16, 2026. During the event, Trump advocates for the election of Michael Whatley to the U.S. Senate (0:16-0:17), while expressing sharp criticism of the incumbent governor, Roy Cooper (1:36-1:55). Key topics and themes discussed include: Law and Order: Trump frequently criticizes Cooper's policies regarding criminal justice, particularly the release of inmates and sanctuary city policies, contrasting them with Whatley's platform of ending "no-cash bail" and implementing stricter penalties (1:36-2:12, 22:45-23:30). Disaster Response: The rally highlights the handling of a major hurricane, referred to as...

Look, I can’t tell you that everything is going to be OK for us patriots in the midterms. I think it will, but I’m not sure. Nobody knows for sure. What I do know is what the correlation of forces, to my mind, indicates. It indicates another 2022, a year when we Republicans were going to clean up against an unpopular, semi-conscious president. And we did OK. Not great. OK. And it looks to me, from where I sit, from who I’ve talked to, from what I’ve seen, and yeah, from my gut, that that’s the high-water mark for the...

Vice President JD Vance told The Post Monday that the Trump administration’s agenda is on the line in the 2026 midterms and Republicans will need their voters to turn out like a presidential year— in order to keep the “crazies” at bay. In an exclusive sitdown aboard Air Force Two, Vance lamented how voters in President Trump’s coalition “haven’t yet shown up for Republicans” in off-year elections to the degree needed — a trend he is trying to reverse to maintain control of Congress. “I really think it’s important to kind of get people to think that … in many...

During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump defended his prediction that the Iran War will end after the 2026 midterm elections and responded to a question on why the war will end if Republicans lose the elections by saying that “a lot of people think if we lose, then I’ll be much more angry and I’ll just take care of business, that’s another way of doing it.” Host Laura Ingraham said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is “trying to wait out the midterms as well, isn’t he?” Trump responded,...

This is Shelly Headen, Democrat running for NC House District 62. She toured Dachau, a Nazi death camp, smiled in front of the ovens, and posted: “This is where Trump supporters belong.” 41,500 people were murdered there. Jews. Priests. POWs. Political prisoners. This CPA running to “restore human decency” used that ground to fantasize about putting half the country in a crematorium. Same woman who wrote America’s “only hope” was an attack on U.S. soil”, preferably Alabama, Louisiana… where the stupid people live.” This is the mask off.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused Republicans of “cheating” during an interview Thursday and said she was working to “stop the madness” by helping Democrats win the midterm elections. “Midterms, midterms, midterms, full-time occupying my thoughts, my mind and my work,” Harris said. “We have to win these midterms. These — these folks are cheating. They’re redrawing lines. They’re trying to make it more difficult for people to vote so they won’t vote because they are afraid of the power of the people. “And, so, I’m spending full-time working on doing everything I can to help people restore some balance...

President Donald Trump is promising a $5,000 payment to every adult American citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in November. The proposal could cost roughly $1.2 trillion, require congressional approval and inject a massive new variable into the outlook for inflation, interest rates and federal borrowing. Trump Ties $5,000 Payments to the Midterm ElectionsTrump unveiled what he called the “Trump Dividend” during the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday night.“Here is my promise: if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them… because of our tremendous strength...

President Donald Trump pledged Wednesday to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, an extraordinary gambit to reverse his party’s sagging fortunes in November. The dubious promise would likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, and would further exacerbate the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit and concerns about inflation. “If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000,” Trump said during the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas. “It will be called the Trump Dividend.”

🚨NOW: President Trump says he plans to hold major rallies across key battleground states to boost Republican turnout and campaign for GOP House and Senate candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms. TRUMP: "I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressman and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have rallies." "We're going to have rallies just like this. We're going to have big arenas loaded up with people. So the senators are great people, so many, just great people."
