The confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon on Thursday was interrupted several times by raging protesters who screamed about transgenderism and other left-wing causes. A person familiar with the situation told the Hill the interruptions were from people affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA), which is the largest teachers’ union in the country. The NEA is staunchly opposed to school choice, and the organization has a history of funneling millions of dollars into far-left politics. The head of the organization notably raked in more than $500,000 in pay and showered liberal causes with money,...

Trump's legal team turns up the heat, demanding Letitia James dismiss a "crumbling" case or face backlash.

The news of President Trump’s return to the Oval Office and his excellent cabinet nominations may be causing Biden Deep State officials to undertake desperate measures to evade accountability. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump sent shockwaves throughout the political world on last Wednesday after announcing Gaetz as America’s next leading law enforcement official. Trump called him a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” who will “end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations, and restore Americans’ badly shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”

A press conference was held today by the Hostages Families Forum in response to UNRWA being among the nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be announced tomorrow. Ayelet Samerano, mother of Yonatan Samerano who was murdered on October 7th and whose body was taken to Gaza by an UNRWA social worker, spoke at the press conference. She was joined by Daniel Carmon, the Deputy Permanent Representative at Israel's UN mission and Ambassador to India, and Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch. Ayelet stated, "In the first few months after October 7, we reached out to many human...

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 18 days without holding a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as of Thursday. "It's been 18 days and Kamala Harris is still not taking questions from the media or voters. Regardless of who you support, a terrible precedent has been set," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., posted on X. Harris became essentially the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 when he dropped out of the race and she officially clinched the nomination last week. She has been busy on the campaign trail, spoken at various...

Joe Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. This does NOT mean that Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee. The official nominee will be declared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. Democrats should be livid that their party never offered them an alternative to Biden. They refused to permit any candidate to challenge Biden and ignored anyone who came forward. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed party affiliations for numerous reasons, but one major reason was that he simply was ignored in favor of the establishment’s selected candidate. Of course, Joe Biden had to appoint Kamala Harris....

Which of the Republican controlled states will remove Biden from the ballot? Does Biden stepping down matter at all? Of what relevance is a current VP assuming the duties of President? Is the DEATH of the NOMINEE (not the current President per se) the only possible way to get some new NOMINEE on the ballot of all 50 states?

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Biden Campaign Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks maintained that President Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee and said that “Whether folks turn out to vote for Vice President Harris being on the ticket with President Biden or for Joe Biden makes no difference to us.” Fulks said, “This is a margin of error race. We have said, from the beginning, this race is going to be close. We know the states that are going to decide this election, which is why our campaign has been building an infrastructure to make...

The Senate Judiciary Committee torpedoed the nomination of Sarah Netburn Thursday to sit on the U.S. District Court in New York's Southern District. Netburn, nominated by President Joe Biden and recommended by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, had a record of transferring violent male rapists to women's prisons under the guise of being "transgender." The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted against Sarah Netburn’s nomination to be a district judge for the influential Southern District of New York.This is a MASSIVE victory for women EVERYWHERE.Why?Netburn insisted on housing a biological male serial rapist in a women’s prison, where he committed yet another...

<p>Biden told donors he is staying in the presidential race and thanked them for their support to beat Trump, according to his campaign. He also took questions from them.</p><p>He also added that he’s “not going anywhere” and promised to beat Trump.</p>

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Wednesday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that if President Joe Biden drop out of the race it is already “cooked” that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the Democratic nominee. Guest host Jim Sciutto said, “Joining The New York Times, The Boston Globe editorial board. They wrote today that President Biden should step aside and in their statement, they went on to make the case that having an open primary convention at this point would be exciting for the Democratic Party.”

Well, that didn't take long. Even yesterday, the smart money was betting that Joe Biden would be the presidential nominee. No longer. The New York Times has published a story that Joe Biden has, for the first time, conceded that he may not be the best candidate to take on Donald Trump. This story has been vociferously denied by the White House, raising questions about its credibility. I have my doubts that Biden actually said that, at least so directly. There are so many machinations and Democrats are so committed to using hoaxes to get their way that it is...

Joe Biden will NOT be the democrat nominee for President.

The Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Campaign filed a Complaint with the Federal Election Commission stating that this criterion that would be used to include Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a Thursday, June 27 debate that might exclude RFK, Jr. could not legally be employed without triggering illegal corporate contributions to the Biden and Trump Campaigns. It appears that the FEC agrees.

Most Americans probably do not like it, but it is a sign of the times. Judicial nominees appear to be no longer selected because of their education, experience, and exceptional knowledge and application of the law. But for their ideological bent, how they can help the party in power in Washington D.C. and elsewhere. They are picked, or not picked, for the cases they might hear, on their political views, and how those views might affect how they rule. It is during the nomination process that the responses of those nominees are getting downright silly, but they have real-world consequences.Biden...

Over 100 organizations expressed support for President Biden’s judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi, and condemned “baseless attacks” against him. In a letter sent Tuesday, 125 national, state and local organizations urged senators to confirm Mangi to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. “Mr. Mangi is fair-minded, brilliant, and has shown throughout his impressive legal career a steadfast dedication to equal justice for all, and he will be a tremendous judge on the Third Circuit,” the letter reads. The letter features support from national organizations like AFL-CIO and Center for American Progress to state and local organizations like Make the Road Nevada...

Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) SAID Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he will support the Republican nomination when asked about endorsing former President Donald Trump. Anchor Dana Bash said, “We saw that the former president earned enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination this past week, you have not endorsed him yet. Will you?”

Former President Donald Trump has been in conversation with former Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). The discussions have primarily revolved around matters of foreign policy, with the possibility of serving as Trump's vice-presidential candidate also under consideration. Per the Washington Post: Former president Donald Trump and top advisers have spoken with former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard about foreign policy and how the Defense Department should be run in a second Trump term, according to people familiar with the matter. Gabbard is a combat veteran and could serve well in Trump's administration. She served on the following committees...

Sen. Mitch McConnell referred to Donald Trump as “the nominee,” a monumental admission from the Trump antagonist who has largely refused to even utter Trump’s name for over three years. McConnell made his comments to his Senate Republican colleagues during a Wednesday meeting where he lamented the changing dynamics of efforts to pair a border package with foreign aid, according to Punchbowl News.
