A balanced focus group on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday morning surely didn't go quite as producers expected when the Democrat and the independent voter both found themselves agreeing with the Republican on key issues, including "woke culture" in schools. The discussion, moderated by anchor Margaret Brennan, started off pretty tame and predictable, with participants describing the effects of a sputtering economy, inflation, and high gas prices on their own lives. But when the topic turned to raising children in America, even Brennan seemed surprised by the level of agreement. What are your biggest concerns about raising children in America...

Ron DeSantis (R) is recording a robocall for underdog Senate contender Joe O’Dea, a boost for the Colorado Republican after former President Donald Trump urged grassroots conservatives to abandon his campaign. “Hello this is Florida Gov.

First lady Jill Biden claimed in an interview that her son, Hunter Biden, is innocent of any crime. “Everybody and their brother has investigated Hunter,” she said in an interview with NBC News. “They keep at it, and at it, and at it. I know that Hunter is innocent.” Hunter is under federal investigation for tax crimes and lying on a federal form to purchase a gun. He will also face investigations of his foreign business deals if Republicans win majorities in Congress. But Jill Biden dismissed all of it.

The Empire State's latest gun-control law was dealt another setback in federal court today. Judge John Sinatra of the Western District of New York, a Trump appointee, found the state's total ban on licensed gun-carry inside places of worship is unconstitutional. He issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the provision to go into effect immediately and remain in effect until he decides on a request for a preliminary injunction. Judge Sinatra said the state's gun ban in churches violates the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers...

President Joe Biden pushed an “assault weapons” ban Friday after a Raleigh, North Carolina, attacker allegedly armed with a shotgun killed five people. Five people were killed by a 15-year-old who began shooting individuals around 5 p.m. Thursday, Breitbart News reported.

New gun control is often marketed as “commonsense” rules that save lives – and it works, too, according to the left. A recent drug bust in the Big Apple, however, demonstrates just how ineffective these laws are. The good news for the people of New York is that close to a million potentially fatal doses of fentanyl were intercepted before they could be sold to users, likely disguised as some other less deadly drug. The bad news for the anti-gunners, however, is that officers also confiscated illegal firearms.A Measure of Success and FailureAn October 12 press release by the Office...

11 minutes of CNN provoking

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake sparred with anchor Dana Bash over election integrity. Bash said, “You called the 2020 election corrupt, stolen, rotten and rigged. There is no evidence of any of that presented in a court of law or anywhere else that any of those things are true. So why do you keep saying that?” Lake said, “Well, there’s plenty of evidence. We had 740,000 ballots with no chain of custody. Those ballots shouldn’t have been counted.”

There’s a reason that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs is not doing well in Arizona. She’s running away from debating her Republican opponent, Kari Lake. When asked about it, she can’t even give any real reason for avoiding debating her, as we reported. Hobbs went on CNN on Sunday with Dana Bash. Bash asked about why she refused to debate, noting that she, Bash, just spoke to Lake. video “She just answered my questions for a lot of minutes. A lot of Democrats are questioning your decision.” If she’s as “dangerous to democracy” as Hobbs claims, Bash asked, why wasn’t...

Gov. Kathy Hochul treated herself to nearly $1 billion worth of pork-barrel spending in this year’s state budget — allowing her to freely hand out cash as she runs for election against Republican challenger Lee Zeldin. Hochul and her Democratic allies in the Legislature added the $920 million worth of outlays to the $220.5 billion fiscal plan in an 11th-hour move in April that government watchdogs warn is wide open to abuse. “These slush funds are totally unaccountable. It’s not how public dollars should be doled out,” senior policy adviser Rachael Fauss of Reinvent Albany said Friday.

There was a mass shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday in which a 15-year-old killed 5 people with a shotgun. Illegitimate president Joe Biden thinks this is more proof that we need an assault weapons ban.

First, he shot and killed his older brother James and then he went on an almost two-mile rampage through the streets, killing 4 more and wounding 2 others.Police eventually caught up with...

President Joe Biden once again pledged more gun control, including an “assault weapons” ban, during an interview Tuesday with CNN’s Jake Tapper. The Blaze posted a segment of the exchange in which Biden talked about being in a situation “where we finally have action on guns.” He added, “And by the way, I’m going to get an “assault weapons” ban. Before this is over I’m going to get that again, not a joke.” Biden has been renewing his pledge to “assault weapons” with regularity over the past weeks and months. For example, Breitbart News reported Biden’s October 5, 2022, tweet,...
