A noncitizen mayor in Kansas has been busted on several charges after voting illegally in several elections despite his status. As Fox News reported, Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced they filed charges in Comanche County against Clearwater, Kansas Mayor Joe Ceballos, a permanent resident from Mexico, for voting in elections in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Kobach said Ceballos has been charged with three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury. The Kansas Reflector notes that both are felony offenses. Kobach also stated that his charges carry a...

President Donald Trump has picked up a big win at the U.S. Supreme Court on a key issue driving his presidency. The court annulled a lower court injunction that was obstructing the president from revoking the protected legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants presently living in the United States. The ruling was 8–1 in support of the president’s position, with the sole dissent originating from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by former President Joe Biden. The ruling facilitates the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 300,000 Venezuelan migrants residing in the U.S.....

And deserves to get it good and hard.Last night was the (well, not mid-term elections — those are next year — “quarter-term” elections?) and the areas that thought that Kamala Harris was a damned fine pick for POTUS last cycle stayed Blue.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- It's Election Day and all eyes on are the race for New York City mayor and New Jersey governor as both elections carry significant weight in the national political picture. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa are all vying to become the 111th mayor of New York, the economic and cultural capital of the country. And Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli are running against each other to become New Jersey's governor in a contentious race that has gained considerable national attention. New Jersey is one of only two gubernatorial...

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said that “the shutdown, actually, is something that the Republicans have been really responsible for, because one of our key things in the shutdown is, number one, vote to reopen the government, but make sure Donald Trump does not get a blank check for his lawless activities,” and “people are understanding that Democrats are fighting to try to reduce their costs.” Van Hollen said, “Well, the shutdown, actually, is something that the Republicans have been really responsible for, because one of our key things in the shutdown is,...

Chances are, you’re already aware that birthrates are falling throughout the developed world, sagging well below the “replacement rate” and sparking worries about the implications of a future dearth of workers and consumers. However, the emphasis on economic implications has allowed a powerful political undercurrent to go almost entirely unnoticed: Birthrates are varying significantly by political orientation, a trend that has the potential to shape electorates and policies for generations to come — to the benefit of conservatives.Replacement birthrates vary over time and place depending on shifts in related variables such as child mortality. In developed countries, sustaining populations without...

On October 21, 2025, I received a phone call. It lasted for 51 seconds. “Hello, this is Letitia James. Your number showed up on my Caller ID. Who is this?” The voice was unmistakable. I knew it was her. I had just finished calling about twenty phone numbers associated with New York Attorney General Letitia James’s seven siblings, hoping to learn more about her niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, with whom James had jointly purchased a home in Norfolk, Virginia. I was calling from my California-based cell phone with an 805 area code. However, no one picked up and I had left...

There’s nothing California Gov. Gavin Newsom hates more than a lying politician. At least, that’s what he, very condescendingly, told an NBC News reporter during a recent interview. Oh that is really RICH! The hypocrisy is just astounding. Watch for yourself: Did you see that head tilt? It’s like he knows he’s lying as he lies about hating liars! By the way, Newsom made that comment just before defending Joe Biden’s cognitive state. Utterly shameless. These people are so brazen with their lies. Here’s a longer clip: 🚨 JUST IN: In a bizarre moment, Gavin Newsom tilts his head like...

When Holocaust scholars accuse Jews of becoming Nazis, moral clarity collapses into performance guilt.Every few months, another academic or journalist decides that the best way to honor Holocaust memory is to accuse Israel of repeating it. The latest comes from The New York Times, where Professor Marianne Hirsch, interviewed by Masha Gessen, claims we need to “rethink how we think about the Holocaust.” It’s a long conversation—ostensibly about pedagogy and post-memory—but it eventually lands in the same familiar place: Holocaust memory, they say, has been “misused” to justify Israeli actions in Gaza, while Israel itself now stands accused of committing...

A hateful handwritten letter sent to Kelly Comperatore Meeder, the sister of fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore Kelly Comperatore Meeder, the sister of fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was tragically killed during the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, revealed she received a handwritten hate letter mocking her brother’s death. In her Facebook post, Meeder described opening what she thought was a thank-you card from a grateful family, part of her work organizing events at a local hall, only to find a venom-filled rant from what she called “another deranged Democrat.” Meeder wrote: “I pour myself into every wedding...

Making a series of wild comments, Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) slammed ICE and CBP agents for allegedly abducting people without identification, alongside military deployment on U.S. streets, disregarding states’ rights, and creating a constitutional crisis. In an even more objectionable comment, she stated that her home country, Somalia, was less tyrannical than the US. Additionally, she warned that America is devolving into an authoritarian state, betraying the founding fathers’ vision. Beginning her theatrical remarks, Omar whined about the “Masked, armed men who are in plain clothes that are snatching people off the streets, unwilling to identify themselves. You have the...

However, to move to the center is, by definition, to move in the direction of the other party, toward the hated enemy and away from your most passionate supporters. Nobody wants to do that! Which is why, in times of political defeat, there is a bottomless appetite for prescriptions that reassure the defeated party members that they just need to be truer to themselves, more effective, more ruthless. And no ambitious politician wants to be the first to throw cold water on these hopes. This is the psychological spot where many Democrats find themselves today. It is completely obvious that...

President Donald Trump’s administration continues to redefine what American strength looks like on the world stage. Since his first major counterterrorism operation, 393 leading jihadists across the globe have been eliminated, and 76 American hostages who were wrongfully detained overseas have been brought home safely. These results underscore a level of national security success unmatched by any modern presidency. Under President Trump, America has reclaimed its role as the world’s leading force against terrorism. His administration rejected the indecisive strategies of past presidents and replaced them with clear, results-driven policy. Rather than tolerating endless discussions about how to handle global...

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune earlier this week,Tuesday’s Minneapolis election will be a battle among competing factions of Democrats.Yes, the city is ruled by Democrats, but the politics are largely split between moderates and a more progressive wing, anchored by a growing faction of democratic socialists like Sen. Omar Fateh, a candidate for mayor. As I’ve framed the contest: it’s a competition between gradually and suddenly. Frey, the two-term incumbent, represents the moderate wing, opting for a continued long and slow decline. Fateh offers the “suddenly” option of immediate collapse and utter devastation. And by “utter devastation,” I mean that...

Michelle Obama really wants you to know she's a victim. That's been the theme for her over the last several years, whether it be during interviews or on her incredibly grating podcast. Most recently, speaking to ABC News "journalist" Gayle King, who is always chosen for these softball sessions for a reason, the former First Lady decried her time in the White House, claiming she and her family were given a "lack of grace" that other presidential families received. KING: "We were all too aware that as the first black couple, we couldn't afford any mistakes." And you also say...

Text messages allegedly offering voters $100 to support Democrat candidates in New Hanover County. The North Carolina Republican Party is demanding an investigation into what appears to be a cash-for-votes operation in New Hanover County. Text messages allegedly offered voters $100 to cast ballots for three Democrat candidates in Wilmington’s City Council race. If confirmed, this would mark one of the most blatant examples of election corruption in recent state history—and it mirrors a scandal that erupted in Gary, Indiana. In that 2023 case, Democrat precinct officials and campaign workers were charged with voter fraud after investigators discovered a coordinated...
