Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will meet this week with high-dollar Republicans to try to cement their support for the newest political action committee supporting his presidential bid, his campaign manager, James Uthmeier, wrote in a memo on Monday morning. Back Down, the super PAC which has bankrolled much of DeSantis' sprawling ground work in early voting states like Iowa and has hosted the governor for dozens of events there. In a fraught moment earlier this month that was first reported by NBC News, two board members from Never Back Down nearly got into a physical fight during a private meeting...

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson called on the Big Apple Thursday to scrap its “sanctuary” city status if it wants federal money to help house thousands of migrants pouring into the city. In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with The Post, the Louisiana Republican’s first with a major publication since seizing the gavel, Johnson said he was “certain” his fellow GOP lawmakers will stipulate a rollback of policies that restrict local police cooperation with federal immigration officials to deport migrants accused of serious crimes. “I’m certain that will be one of our proposals, and it should,” the 51-year-old said....

And to everyone who is now on the...

Barnette began surging in the polls during the final days of the race, as the battle between Oz and...

President Trump broke with longtime associate David Bossie on Tuesday, with Trump's 2020 campaign accusing an organization run by Bossie of "deceptive" fundraising and calling for its investigation. "The president was livid when he learned about what David Bossie’s group was doing," a person close to the campaign and familiar with the president's thinking told the Washington Examiner. "He thought it was unconscionable to trick people into thinking they were donating to the Trump campaign when they were not." Bossie served as Trump's deputy campaign manager in 2016 and interviewed with Trump in December for the position of White House...

topping Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' contract as the richest ever with a new-money annual average of $35 million per season, [Russell] Wilson's signing bonus also sets a record. Rodgers was first in both categories at $33.5 million and $57.5 million, respectively, on the extension he signed last summer. Wilson is coming off arguably the best season of his seven-year career.

Wilson did that on 427 attempts, his fewest since 2013, as the Seahawks operated one of the...

[CUT - On Bill Barr:] "Well, I can't comment on whether I support [Barr] or not yet. I haven't even begun to review his qualifications or his record in the past," Rubio said Sunday.

I generally do not support nominees, for the most part, unless I know them personally [CUT - On Heather Nauert:] “Does she have detailed...

Michael Tubbs, the 27-year-old mayor of Stockton, California, has a radical plan to combat poverty in his cash-strapped city: a “no strings” guaranteed basic income of $500 a month for its residents. Starting in early 2019, Tubbs plans to provide the monthly stipend to a select group of residents as part of a privately funded 18-month experiment to assess how people use the money. “And then, maybe, in two or three years, we can have a much more informed discussion about the social safety net, the income floor people deserve and the best way to do it because we’ll have...

He Delights in Your Prosperity Today's Scripture “...let them say continually, ‘Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.’ ” (Psalm 35:27, NKJV) Today's Word from Joel and Victoria God desires that you be blessed and prosperous.

The folks at Club for Growth has white papers on all the GOP candidates summarizing their public records and does a pretty objective job. Looking at Newt's I really was struck by how conservative Newt's actual voting record was (which of course was mischaracterized by Jennifer Rubin, who I think must have been offered a post in a Romney administration. How else do you explain her going full spittle in support of Romney and anti-Newt?)., with most of the worrisome aspects of his record coming from speeches AFTER he left public office. This is pretty much the exact opposite of...
