The new map would have carved up parts of Kansas City to weaken the Democrats’ grip...

The race is one of roughly a dozen that will determine if the GOP holds its Senate majority in the midterms. The $10 million will go toward digital and TV ads...

Footage circulating purporting to be from the North African desert shows what looks like an enormous column of sub-Saharan African men moving under escort. Some estimates put the number at a hundred thousand. Commentators claim Algerian military vehicles and personnel are shepherding them toward the coast.

"The conservatives on here denying the affordability crisis are engaged in what I can only describe as an act of political suicide. They're also lying, which is the worst part. Grocery prices are up. Housing. Energy. Insurance. Health care. Basic living expenses. It's real. It's happening. Denying it just makes you look out of touch, deceitful, and untrustworthy. It's also a completely unnecessary and unforced error. No credible person is claiming that Trump caused these price surges. You don't have to disgrace yourself by denying the reality in front of your face just to prove your loyalty to Trump. The...

@RupertLowe10 I want to be really clear with my words here, as I have done since the day I launched Restore Britain as a national political party. Islam’s influence over our way of life is far too large, far too powerful, far too much. I visited streets in Greater Manchester where the local British population have been replaced, there is no other word for it - replaced. We were almost chased out. Why has that been allowed to happen? Go and watch the vote count for those areas. Stacks and stacks and stacks of Labour votes. A mountain of them....

CNN’s Harry Enten took a deep dive into “all the red flags” popping up for Democrats, who were widely believed to be poised to sweep the November midterms. snip “Take a look here. Republicans at this point, $657 million! My goodness gracious, that’s why I’m talking about these bills, right?” Enten said. “While the Democrats, only about $334 million — only about half the level of Republicans. And, of course, cash is what makes the world go round in politics.” snip Enten took a look at Democratic net favorability. “Back in 2018 when Democrats were able to take control of...

After 250 Years, Our American Republic Is Coming ApartThe crisis we face today is existential. Too many Americans, both native-born and naturalized, have been taught to despise their country.If it sometimes seems like the American cultural mainstream is ignorant of the role of Christianity in the founding of the United States, or even hostile towards it, that’s because it is.The story told about America’s founding by the corporate media, book publishers, libraries and other institutions is one in which the Christian faith, so central to our history and founding, is almost wholly absent.I don’t mean that anecdotally. A recent report...

Oil prices fell and U.S. stock-index futures jumped Sunday after President Donald Trump said the U.S. has agreed to a peace deal with Iran, apparently ending months of hostilities that shut the Strait of Hormuz and sent the global economy into an oil shock. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump said in a social-media post late Sunday. “Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let...

Pratt remained in second place with 29.91% of the vote behind incumbent Mayor...

Most people think a civil war starts with a gunshot. It doesn't. It starts the moment half the country concludes the rules of the game have been permanently rigged against them — and that there is no legitimate way to change that. We may be closer to that moment than most people realize. And I can show you exactly how we get there — step by step.

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass’ biggest headache. A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor. And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass. Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week’s primary. Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Photo by Andy Kropa/Invision/AP Spencer Pratt is taking the Los Angeles mayoral race by storm. He's approaching things with common sense, and focusing on the issues that people care about, like crime and safety, a basic issue in the city. Meanwhile, the present mayor, Karen Bass, is focusing on things like teeth for meth heads. Now it looks like his approach may be paying off for his campaign - literally. Donations to his campaign are vastly outweighing donations to the campaigns of his opponents. For the filing period April 19 - May 16, Nithya Raman raised $401,000, Karen Bass had...
