Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, but only a neo-hater of Kirk with no criminal history. Apart from his hatred towards what Charlie Kirk stood for, there is no strong motive found behind why he took him down, leading social media narrative to focus on Nick Fuentes' 'Groyper' movement.

On Monday, former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey – once President Trump’s top pick to lead the FBI – will be sworn into a new power-sharing role with deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino. Bailey’s installment comes at a perilous time for FBI Director Kash Patel, whose leadership atop the nation’s premier law enforcement agency is under fire, according to ten sources from multiple federal offices granted anonymity to speak freely. The White House’s reasoning to create an unprecedented office for Bailey has not been explained and left FBI leadership confused, two people at the agency said. "The White House, Bondi,...

The four themes laid out by Buchanan were successfully deployed by Trump two decades later: a halt to illegal immigration, no more endless wars, a hard line on trade and the strong use of tariffs, and standing up to political correctness.

Defending Kash Patel from HimselfSeptember 14, 2025 | Sundance Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would...

What do Theresa May and Andy Burnham have in common with Michel Barnier, François Bayrou and Emmanuel Macron? All five were admirably honest with the public about the trade-offs inherent in financing an ageing society, and all five were duly punished for their candour by the public, the press, opposition politicians or all three.The past two decades of French and British politics are a graveyard of proposals to slow the upward ratchet of spending on growing elderly populations. The same two decades of French and British fiscal balances show the results. Public disbursements to older citizens have climbed higher and...

The federal government's budget deficit reached $2 trillion for the current fiscal year as the deficit has widened by nearly $100 billion from last year. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its monthly budget update for August, which showed the deficit reached $1.989 trillion in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2025. That amounts to a $92 billion increase in the deficit when compared with the first 11 months of fiscal year 2024. Overall, federal spending was up by $391 billion from a year ago, an increase of 5%, while tax receipts rose $299 billion, or 7%, in...

President Trump needs to return America to its original and authentic conservative economic policy: the American System of protective tariffs. President Ronald Reagan built the most successful political coalition in modern American history. His juggernaut—an alliance of social conservatives, neoconservatives, and economic liberals—routed the Democrats. Reagan won over 90 percent of the electoral college in 1980, and a staggering 97 percent in 1984. Capital-R Republicans have smugly celebrated this triumph ever since. In fact, Reagan’s Coalition was so successful that uniting these disparate interests became Republican doctrine. Any who dared question this political logic—or perhaps, as Patrick Buchanan correctly pointed...

Donald Trump issued a stunning threat to NATO allies for holding up his negotiations to end the Russia - Ukraine war and warned against 'wasting my time' in a blistering social media post. Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to rebuke NATO allies for buying oil from Russia despite their opposition to Vladimir Putin's invasion, saying it 'greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia'. 'I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM...

Las Vegas tourism continues to decline as fresh numbers reveal that fewer visitors are traveling to Sin City. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) recently released its numbers for July visitors, noting a 12% drop from last year. There were 3,089,300 visitors this July compared to over 3.5 million last year, while occupancy on the Strip dropped 7% from 86.5% last year. The tourism decline has been attributed to a combination of factors, including the impact of tariffs, the seasonal summer slowdown, and a surge in online gaming. Most recently, the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino announced it...

"Something's wrong. I know I shouldn't do this. I'm risking an awful lot to go up against this FBI, the MAGA FBI. Something's very wrong with what I just heard. I mean, I watched it. I was hoping that they had caught the bastard who shot Charlie. So we saw a video of a person jumping off the roof. It looked very legitimate to me. However, there was no rifle in his hand. "Now, the Mauser does not break down very easily. Incidentally, for those of you who know weapons, something's wrong with the whole thing. They're trying to claim...

WASHINGTON — Calls are mounting in both Congress and the Trump administration for the widow of late Arizona Sen. John McCain to resign from or be forced out of her United Nations post overseeing food distribution in the Gaza Strip, following months of botched aid drop-offs and rampant looting by Hamas. UN World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Cindy McCain has been criticized by ex-colleagues, lawmakers and officials for failing to work with Israel’s military and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to provide food, water and other assistance to Palestinians. “If WFP was doing its job,” one senior US official...

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky strongly objected after Vice President JD Vance asserted in a Saturday post on X that "Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military." "JD ‘I don’t give a s[---]’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military.’ Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??" Senator Paul wrote.

A new poll conducted by Leger360 between August 29 and 31, 2025, is causing controversy in the world of U.S. politics, as it projects that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, is the frontrunner for the 2028 presidential election. The results of the survey, which were shared on social media, pitted Newsom against potential GOP candidates, including Vice President JD Vance, former President Donald Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The California governor narrowly leads the president by a score of 48 percent to 44 percent, 47 percent to Vance’s 46 percent, and 49 percent to Rubio’s 44 percent....

@RandPaul The establishment will tell you someone can only be re-elected if they bring home the bacon to their constituents. I'm proof-positive that you can promise to fight for liberty, freedom, and the free markets and still get re-elected

James O’Keefe, the Project Veritas founder and longtime pro-MAGA activist, published a clip on Thursday of a Trump Justice Department official claiming that Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to prison “to keep her quiet.” In the clip, an off-camera woman asks Joseph Schnitt, an acting deputy chief of special operations, about the Epstein Files and Maxwell – a convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice. “But those files do exist,” noted the woman. “Yeah, thousands and thousands to page through. They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those pages,” Schnitt replied....

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has once again raised eyebrows by publicly questioning President Trump’s latest show of military force, this time over a Venezuelan drug vessel blown to pieces in the Caribbean. The Gateway Pundit reported in August that Trump ‘secretly’ signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels. The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. This means that US troops could find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa Cartel, for example. As TGP readers...

Unfortunately for the West, the Muslim world understands the game’s optimal strategy, while the West is barely showing up. In the board game RISK, the goal is world domination. You achieve that by battling other players within and across continents. The best strategy is to take and hold Australia. Once secured, you can build up your troops while defending the single point of access to keep your opponents at bay, then attack in a methodical style and slowly expand. This strategy doesn’t always work, but the notion of finding an easily defendable base where you can husband resources and use...

Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese sat down with Trump for an hour in the Oval Office Friday afternoon. A March Pew Research Center Poll that found support for Israel among young Republicans is slipping. The president acknowledged that he was aware of this trend, and explained to the Caller that Israel’s ironclad support in Congress is a thing of the past.
