Former President Donald Trump is virtually untouchable in the Republican Party even after leaving office last month, said former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “What’s very striking is that President Trump still has such enormous reach in the party that nobody can fight him,” Gingrich said on WABC 770 AM in New York on Sunday. “You can complain about him. You can criticize him. But McConnell can’t possibly fight Trump. He doesn’t have a big enough base,” he said, referring to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Gingrich added that the spat over Trump in the GOP is “also a...

A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s victory.The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.So, my friend asked why was 2020 different?Having spent more than four years watching the left #Resist President Donald Trump and focus entirely on undoing and undermining the 2016 election, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings. As I...

An unprecedented number of mail-in and absentee ballots were cast this year, practically everyone expected that this would result in a higher-than-usual rate of ballots being rejected for various flaws based on historical patterns. Instead, a mere 0.03 percent of mail-in ballots were rejected of about 1,000 votes. A significant majority of mail-in votes were cast for Biden, the Democrat candidate benefited handsomely from this discrepancy. But how did this anomaly happen? Workers illegally “pre-canvassed” mail-in ballots to determine whether they were missing a secrecy envelope or failed to include necessary information. When ballots were found to be flawed, voters...

Gingrich: ‘Left Is Going To Be Terribly Shocked” “He has a better likelihood than he did at this stage in 2016 when he was clearly behind and closing rapidly,” Gingrich said. “The people I trust the most, the pollsters that have been the most accurate over the last 5 or 6 years who seem to understand the dynamics of the age of Trump.” “I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus,” Gingrich said. “I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going...

The historic precedents fit the president’s actions. Despite the lies and hysteria of the Democrats, left-wing activists, and the propaganda media, the historic fact is that President Trump is simply following precisely the precedent set in 1800. There is nothing to suggest a President cannot nominate a replacement if a court position is vacant up until the day his or her term ends. Furthermore, given the hatred and vitriol with which Democrats have tried to destroy President Trump, why should he worry about their hand wringing and whining? Trump supporters elected him to change Washington. He has an astonishing opportunity...

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner attempted to explain why her show cut off Newt Gingrich while he tried to address left-wing billionaire George Soros. Gingrich, the former House Speaker, joined a group of panelists Wednesday and was asked his opinion on violence and unrest afflicting major American cities. He accurately pointed out Soros’ role in trying to overhaul the U.S. justice system by pouring money into district attorney races across the country. The problem, Gingrich opined, was due to “George Soros-elected, left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up.” “Progressive district attorneys are anti-police, pro-criminal, and...

We’ve reported on Creepy George Soros and his actions that have destroyed the inner cities in the US. Anti American George Soros was interviewed by 60 Minutes years ago. In this infamous interview Soros claimed to have no shame for turning in fellow Jews to the Nazis in World War II Hungary. The Nazis stole from the Jews and Soros claimed that if he didn’t do it, someone else would. This is the man many believe is behind today’s modern corrupt Democrat Party: Soros was reportedly behind the airport protests after President Trump’s election. A week before that Soros was...

Gingrich also noted on Monday that he thinks “the real question is can Mitch McConnell find 50 votes?” “If he can, there is nothing the Democrats can do to stop a justice from being approved,” he continued. On Monday, Gingrich explained the “two challenges” Democrats face. He said the first challenge is that Democrats “are going to get more radical” and “more frantic.” “You are going to see more crowds showing up at senators' houses and trying to intimidate people, you’re going to talk about packing the court in the future,” Gingrich said. “There will be sort of a frenzy...

It seems there is suddenly a movement in media to silence anyone who speaks out against George Soros—and, specifically, his funding of radical prosecutors seeking to change the criminal justice system by simply ignoring certain crimes. This happened to me personally this week while I was being interviewed on Fox’s Outnumbered. When I brought up Soros’s plan to get pro-criminal, anti-police prosecutors elected across the country, two of the show’s participants interrupted me and forcefully asserted that Soros was not involved. ... Soros’s plan to elect these prosecutors has been well documented ... There are plenty of specific examples of...

I have been watching a truly curious phenomenon over the past few days. It seems there is suddenly a movement in media to silence anyone who speaks out against George Soros—and, specifically, his funding of radical prosecutors seeking to change the criminal justice system by simply ignoring certain crimes.

Host Harris Faulkner, it seemed, was...

Fox News has drawn our attention to the fact that George Soros is bankrolling the leftist district attorneys who are fostering so much rioting in America's blue cities, based on their refusal to prosecute looters and rioters.  But probably not in the way the network meant to. Here's what went down over at the semi-cheesy news commentary show called Outnumbered, whose format is a group of leggy women sitting on a circular sofa with some man in the news and grilling him with chick-like excited shouts and exclamations.  It's now a Zoom thing without the leg business.  In this case, it led to a very...

"Both [Kamala] Harris and [Joe] Biden have talked very proudly about what they call progressive district attorneys. Progressive district attorneys are anti-police, pro-criminal, and overwhelmingly elected with George Soros's money. And they are a major cause of the violence we are seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street," he added. "I'm not sure we need to bring George Soros into this," interrupted Francis. "He paid for it," responded Gingrich. "No he didn't," said Democratic strategist Marie Harf. "I agree with Melissa, George Soros doesn't need to be part of this conversation." "OK?" said Gingrich, puzzled....

Newt Gingrich: "The number one problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, antipolice pro-criminal district attorneys..." Fox host: "I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this." Newt: "Okay... So, it’s verboten?" Long awkward silence. Then.....Harris Faulkner says.....Okay, we're done. Let's move on.

We have a president who is bold and keeps his word For weeks people have asked me what President Donald Trump’s agenda for a second term would be. I know the White House team led by Brooke Rollins had been developing such an agenda for months. Finally, this last weekend the Trump campaign released a comprehensive agenda covering 50 major commitments toward a better future. In 2015, Callista and I had been part of a meeting in which then-candidate Trump committed to releasing a list of potential U.S. Supreme Court justices (something he is challenging Joe Biden to do this...

The media pounds the same drum every single day, citing polls that show Joe Biden in the lead over President Trump.In some ways, it feels like we’re living in a repeat of 2016. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently pointed out that things are now swinging in Trump’s favor, and he believes Trump will not only win, but will win big.FOX News reports:Newt Gingrich says Trump win will be ‘dramatically bigger’ than expectedThe chances of President Trump getting reelected in November are looking extremely good, Newt Gingrich said Saturday night. “I’m predicting that it will be a dramatically bigger victory...

Every time some supposed conservative or Republican explains why he or she can’t vote for President Trump, I wonder if they have thought about the alternative – the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi machine. Our choice in November will not be between President Trump and President Perfection. It will be between President Trump and a nightmare that would end America as we have known it. If former Vice President Joe Biden wins, it means the turnout in favor of Democrats will be such that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., remains leader of a Democratic majority in the House. It also means that Democrats will...

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on Monday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s rhetoric has been “very favorable” to the Chinese communist party. “It is very hard to understand why the Democratic Party is increasingly pro-Communist Chinese Party,” Gingrich told “Fox & Friends.” "And you have in Speaker Pelosi a bitter hard partisan who was so far to the left that she was in Chinatown encouraging people to ignore all of this a couple of weeks ago," Gingrich said. “It is really mystifying [in] why they are going down this road when it is...

The Democrats will continue a steady stream of investigations into President Trump, said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Friday, advising the president to focus on his accomplishments while the far-left continues to "trap" Nancy Pelosi into pursuing unpopular policies. "They want to shoot at Trump as often as they can until they finally get him and they'd like him to be nice while they're doing it," Gingrich argued on "America's Newsroom." Well, they've got the wrong guy because Trump is gonna counter-punch every time and as president, he's got a bigger punch than they do." Gingrich said in the...
