It should be clear by now that Democrats want Elon Musk dead. Elon Musk is arguably the greatest mind of our generation, and yet Democrats are running a campaign against him to get him killed. Where are the sane Democrats? Are there any left? When will they condemn these death threats? On Sunday night, Elon Musk told an audience in Wisconsin that he is receiving 17,000 death threats a day! Democrats want him dead because he supported President Trump and is cutting government spending. The left’s lies are going to get someone hurt. Elon Musk: It’s a super big deal....

He’s a father of a 28-year-old son and he’s hurting. A retired police officer, he proudly voted for Donald Trump every time he ran and never hid his political beliefs from his family. “My son and his wife say that since I’m a fan of Trump they’re no fan of mine and cut me off,” he said. “Now I can’t see my only grandchild who I was so close to. It’s crazy and it’s tragic.” … Social psychologists have long understood that merely identifying with a group in competitive contexts can lead people to view those outside the group less...

Just wondering, what happened to "Project 2025?" The marxist fear-mongers crowed about it 24/7. Did the threat of ending their illicit theft of taxpayer funding take precedence?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is warning that Democrats’ “very dangerous” rhetoric and behavior could lead to something “serious” against President Donald Trump. During an interview on Fox News, Gingrich dismissed a claim by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that Republicans are “on the run,” warning that Democrats are in a rage and offering “no solutions.” Gingrich said the left is resorting to extreme tactics in an effort to resist President Donald Trump and oppose Elon Musk’s efforts to cut government spending. “Well, I think that everything you showed earlier reflects what Lincoln said at Gettysburg when he said,...

The democrat brand is in absolute free fall. Yet, they continue to double down on stands that have driven to a point where they risk utter irrelevance at the national level. This fall has been quick and almost total... What if anything can they do to turn it around?

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on his podcast Monday that he believes Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton allegedly attempted to block the hiring of a particular person on the Intelligence Committee.

The U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, under the leadership of Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), held a committee hearing focused on the right of law-abiding Americans to protect themselves. It’s a critical moment for Second Amendment rights as President Donald Trump campaigned on restoring community safety and vowing to protect the Constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. That priority resonated with voters, including more than 26.2 million law-abiding Americans persuaded by crime and threats of violence in their communities to purchase a firearm for the first time over the past five years. This priority also aligns with...

The Democrats have absolutely no clue how to deal with a second Trump term. They have been rudderless since November 6th. Trump's address to the joint session of Congress could have been an opportunity to turn the tide... instead they collectively collapsed even further.

A group of moderate Democrats quietly gathered in Virginia last month — and hatched a comeback plan to try to distance the party from the far-left and win back the working class by embracing “patriotism.” Third Way, a centrist-leaning Democratic think tank, put together the soul-searching retreat in Londoun County, a roughly hour drive from Washington, DC, and invited elected leaders, consultants, staffers and others to critically assess the party’s woes “Activist groups and progressive staffers push unpopular cultural positions, making it seem like Democrats are more extreme than they actually are,” said a summary paper from the retreat and...

A long time ago, in an America far, far, away, there was a time when everyday people could have political differences without it affecting their relationships. It appears America has drifted light years away from these days. Over the past decade, there seems to have been an increase in marriages breaking up because of political differences – especially when it comes to President Donald Trump. Now that he is in his second term, this issue seems to be persisting. Slate’s Scaachi Koul wrote an article on Tuesday telling the stories of three progressive women who were having marital problems that...

During Donald Trump's address to the joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025, the President gave a tribute to a thirteen year-old cancer survivor. The Democrats notably refused to stand, and many refused to even clap. for the boy.

CNN’s Harry Enten delivered a reality check during Monday’s broadcast, laying out the shifting American sentiment on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and showcasing President Donald Trump’s strong approval numbers compared to his predecessor, Joe Biden. Known for his straight-shooting analysis, Enten presented polling data that showcased a dramatic divergence in public opinion regarding presidential handling of foreign affairs. “So this is the net approval rating: you look at Joe Biden back in 2024, he was 22 points underwater,” Enten started. “Holy cow! You look at Donald Trump, it’s just a different planet entirely. I mean, the gulf between these two is...

...Is the U.S. about to come into a windfall? We spoke to Laura Lewis, a university distinguished professor of chemical and mechanical engineering at Northeastern, who studies critical minerals and their applications. Her comments have been edited for brevity and clarity... ...What about rare earths? Does Ukraine have them? The evidence for Ukraine having rare earths at all is derived from reports that are at least 50 years old that were conducted by Russia. There really is no significant evidence that Ukraine has them. If they do, and they say that they're going to now develop this resource, it would...

ESPN host Stephen A. Smtih’s latest foray into politics has upset veteran politico James Carville. On his podcast, Politicon, Carville addressed Smith’s recent ruminations about a 2028 run for the Democrat nomination. “If you’re the Democrats, that’s why Stephen A. Smith is in the news,” Smith said recently on The Stephen A. Smith Show, “because y’all don’t have anybody. You don’t have anybody. Who you got? Who you got? Kamala Harris better not run. She better not run.” Carville noted Smith’s prowess when it came to sports. But, he took a decidedly different tone when it came to the ESPN...

There are many stories about January 6 that fall by the wayside. Some January 6 defendants got extensive media coverage, especially in the immediate aftermath of January 6, but this is not representative of the overall body. Most defendants have remained nameless, faceless hostages. Real Americans have been rendered as caricatures as a way of pigeonholing them and glossing over the real experiences of that complicated day. PATRIOT PETE Peter Schwartz is many things, but an insurrectionist is not one of them. Schwartz served in the United States Army Reserve in his younger years. He ended up living a life...

Every Arizona swing voter in our latest Engagious/Sago focus groups said they approve of President Trump's actions since taking office — and most also support Elon Musk's efforts to slash government. Why it matters: Public opinion can constrain presidents when Congress does not. But these 11 voters — all of whom backed Joe Biden in 2020 but switched to Trump last November — said they're good with Trump aggressively testing disruptive, expansionist expressions of presidential power that are piling up in court challenges. It's needed to "get America back on track," one participant said. What we're watching: One notable area...

In the Fall of 1971, I took a newly-offered Poly Sci course in HS in Boulder CO, taught by the US History teacher. She was one of a now-extinct race I term Honorable Democrats, who was politically active but didn't press an agenda on her students. One day she read us an article from a journal of PolySci to which she subscribed. It was a long-term prediction of how Politics in the USA would unfold, written by Political Scentists. You must understand that since it's their job to study this stuff, these highly skilled Professionals are naturally the most reliable...

American are saying Democrats are espousing priorities that are not representative of voters, according to polling conducted by Ipsos and The New York Times last month. The Times/Ipsos poll conducted after President Donald Trump's election victory was certified in early January revealed Americans' priorities more closely match that of Republican Party election messaging priorities. Those polled found economy, immigration, taxes, crime, and healthcare costs to be priorities for them, the first three also considered priorities by the Republican Party in the respondents' view. Those people sensed Democrats were most concerned about abortion, LGBT policies, climate change, and the state of...

The more we learn about John Brennan and the other swamp creatures, aka the 50 intelligence agents who signed off on the Hunter Biden laptop letter, the more we understand why and support Trump removing their security clearance. For years, we felt as if we were the crazies talking about the deep state and how they were working to control our elections but now that everything is out in the open, we're finding that perhaps we weren't so crazy after all. Especially when you see leaked emails like this one where Brennan admits everything they were doing was to help...

At one of the confirmation hearings in the Senate, for President Trump's nominee Robert F. Kennedy to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy asked an interesting question, slightly paraphrased below: How is it that the wealthiest nation on the earth, the United States of America, is not the healthiest nation on earth? How is it we have increasing levels of Obesity, Depression, Diabeties, etc? The question assumes the wealthier a nation is, the healthier it should be. This is not necessarily true. Many of the problems noted by RFK Jr. are diseases caused by abundance. Wealth is the...
