Peanut the Squirrel, and an Election Brought into Focus at Last by John F. Di Leo As the 2024 election approached, many voters found themselves with a dilemma. They’ve been told for a decade that they must dislike President Trump, though he did a good job as president. They’ve been told that they should like Kamala Harris, though everything about her from policies to behavior seems weird.

(DCNF)—Some Democrats and liberal media outlets appear to be discovering the connection between big Biden donors funding radical left causes, including the pro-Palestine protests seen across the U.S., which are now coming back to bite President Joe Biden as he seeks re-election in November.

Brown, 63, who lost to Walton in the June Democratic primary, claimed what would be a stunning victory in a speech to supporters from his campaign headquarters shortly after 11 p.m. “Today’s election,...

President Trump “shouldn’t give an inch” in his quest to expose the “blatan[ly] antisemetic people in this so-called Squad,” declared Nick Langworthy, the newly elected New York State Republican Chairman. Speaking from Jerusalem on his first trip abroad since assuming his position earlier this month, Langworthy had choice words for the four extremist freshman Congresswomen notorious for their anti-American, antisemitic rhetoric. And he strongly defended Trump’s repeated condemnations of Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, lawmakers Langworthy described as “the face of the Democratic Party.” Stated Langworthy: You have blatant antisemetic people in this so-called Squad....
