Dr. Mehmet Oz has seen enough, and he isn’t waiting for a recount. Sitting on a 910-vote lead in preliminary, unofficial tallies from Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary race as of Friday morning, Oz declared himself the presumptive winner in a new video release in which he took a definitive turn toward a general election campaign between two unorthodox candidates who rocketed to personal fame in wildly different ways. That race to come, for a Senate seat currently held by Republican Pat Toomey, who did not seek re-election this year, is also one of a handful that will be pivotal in...

Once conspiratorial thinking becomes part of someone’s partisan identity, it can spread. In high-profile statewide races in Georgia, Ohio and Arizona, leading Republican candidates have embraced the false claim that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen, often reversing their previous statements to do so. Despite a complete lack of evidence for the claim, this belief has become widespread among Republican voters and shows no sign of diminishing. Believing that elections are rigged reduces trust in democracy and democratic norms, research finds. While there’s nothing new about partisans believing that elections have been stolen, it is new to have so...

A video that is only a little over 6 minutes — “It's time to admit that many Americans are stupid, even if it's not politically correct to do so, because in Trump's America it is increasingly a reality.”

When Joe Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, the economy was strong, the U.S. border was protected, and the world was largely peaceful, thanks to President Trump. All this, despite COVID-19. One and a half years later, owing to successor Joe Biden's misgovernance, ineptitude, and lack of leadership, the U.S. and the world around have witnessed a series of unprecedented catastrophes. [SNIP] The Democrats seem to be on track to face an unequivocal routing from the GOP during the midterms in November. Their fanatical pro-abortion protests and callous insensitivity after the Texas mass shooting at an elementary school will certainly...

Senior Obama administration officials engaged in a secret meeting with Iran in 2018 as part of an effort to undermine the Trump administration's diplomatic push to isolate the hardline regime, according to an internal State Department document. As the Trump administration worked to increase economic pressure on Iran in 2018, a delegation of "U.S. former ambassadors," including John Kerry, held a secret, "off-the-record" meeting with former Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif at his residence in New York City, according to a State Department memo unearthed this week as part of a lawsuit brought to compel the release of this information....

Trump can appeal the ruling to the state's Court of Appeals Former President Donald Trump will have to testify under oath as part of the New York Attorney General's Office's investigation of his business practices after a state appellate court ruled against him Thursday. The ruling by a panel of four judges upheld a decision by New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who said in February that Trump and two of his children had to comply with subpoenas calling for them to sit for depositions. Engoron had recently ordered that Trump was in contempt for failing to turn over...

Tech executive Rodney Joffe fed the Alfa Bank hoax to the FBI via two distinct routes, testimony from yesterday’s proceedings in the Michael Sussmann criminal case indicates. This apparent circular reporting further cements Special Counsel John Durham’s Section 1001 false statement case against Sussmann by highlighting the significance of Sussmann’s alleged lie to former FBI General Counsel James Baker. Sussmann, who is in the middle of week two of his trial in a D.C. federal court, was charged last fall in a one-count indictment with lying to Baker when he provided Baker two flash drives and several “white papers” purporting...

Biden’s Secretary of State Tony Blinken shared today that the US does not support Taiwan’s independence from China. The Daily Mail reported: Sec. of State Antony Blinken issued a stark warning Thursday morning that the threat of China will ‘test U.S. diplomacy like nothing we’ve ever seen before’ – but insisted America does not want another Cold War and does not support Taiwan independence. ..... Snip...... Blinken laid out the Biden administration’s policy towards China after the president raised eyebrows by saying the U.S. would get involved ‘militarily’ if there was an invasion of Taiwan. Blinken has a very suspect...

I have been conservative in my politics for years--maybe the outcomes of the Reagan foreign policy pushed me that way; Or maybe, my experience working with social work clients. In any case, my political affiliation is a long-term thing. Reagan, Gingrich, the tea party, Trump have all been major players in my feelings about elections. Donald Trump has been a great champion for my side in the political arena. A lot of other people must agree with me if we are to judge by the results of the Republican primaries. The national media seem to believe that my politics follows...

President Trump responded to Kellyanne Conway’s statements from her upcoming book that she allegedly told the president and her boss that he lost the 2020 election. Trump posted his response on Truth Social on Tuesday. President Trump: “Kellyanne Conway never told me that she thought we lost the election. If she had I wouldn’t have dealt with her any longer – she would have been wrong – could go back to her crazy husband. Writing books can make people say some very strange things. I wonder why? Got 12 million more votes than we did the first time, the most...

CASPER — Casper welcomed Bill Bailey and his self-proclaimed “largest mobile Trump store in the nation” last Thursday. Since Bailey fought off the Casper wind and set up his four tents, he’s seen thousands of customers, with roughly 400 on the first day, he said. As Bailey, decked head-to-toe in red, white and blue Trump gear, spoke to a reporter, he was interrupted by a confused customer. “I want the one that says ‘**** Biden,’” the customer said. Baily returned to the interview after ensuring the customer got what he wanted. “The * Biden always sells,” he said. Bailey is...

Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in New York state’s civil investigation into his business practices, a state appeals court ruled Thursday. A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state’s trial court upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James’ probe. Trump had appealed, seeking to overturn the ruling. His lawyers argued that ordering the Trumps to testify violated their constitutional rights because their answers could be used in a parallel criminal investigation. “The existence of a...

WASHINGTON—Testimony that suggested the Donald Trump-Russia claims given to the FBI by a Hillary Clinton lawyer may have been fabricated will be struck from the record, along with mention of the email that triggered the testimony, a judge has ruled. On Tuesday, FBI agent Curtis Heide was presented with an email sent by Rodney Joffe to researchers with the Georgia Institute of Technology dated Sept. 14, 2016. Joffe discussed one of the white papers Michael Sussmann, a lawyer representing both Joffe and the Clinton campaign, later handed over to the FBI alleging a secret link between Trump and a Russian...

As the Wall Street Journal relates in an editorial published Monday evening, a dispute has arisen over the counting of mail-in ballots in the closely contested Republican primary election in Pennsylvania between David McCormick and Dr. Mehmet Oz. The candidates seek the party’s nod to run against ailing Democratic nominee, John Fetterman, for the seat now occupied by retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey.Clearly, the ballots should be counted. [cut]As Politico reports, the Third Circuit ruled that hundreds of undated mail-in votes should be counted because they were received on time. The court has not yet issued its formal opinion explaining...

Former President Donald Trump will speak at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Annual Leadership Forum this week in the wake of the horrific tragedy at a Texas elementary school, previewing an “important address to America.” “America needs real solutions and real leadership in this moment, not politicians and partisanship,” Trump said in an update to his TruthSocial account Wednesday. “That’s why I will keep my longtime commitment to speak in Texas at the NRA Convention and deliver an important address to America. In the meantime, we all continue to pray for the victims, their families, and for our entire nation—we...

The crushing defeat of David Perdue in Tuesday's Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia likely delighted Donald Trump's adversaries, who have been keeping scorecards to measure the performance of election candidates backed by the former president. Trump has weighed in on November's midterm elections like no former president, announcing more than 190 endorsements and holding rallies with his proteges. The success of his endorsees is seen as a key sign of his continued influence over the party as he hints at another run for the White House in 2024. But political analysts and Republican strategists caution that any jubilation among Trump's...

It appears these Democrat voters helped push hated Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger over the top in the GOP primary race on Tuesday night. A recent report by the far-left Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that at least 7% of early Republican voters were Democrats. These Democrat voters were the difference in the Secretary of State race in the state. Much despised Brad Raffensperger somehow managed to pull off a victory in the Republican primary last night against former Congressman and President Trump endorsed US Representative Jody Hice. If 7% of the votes were Democrats switching over for the primary, then that...

What many political observers initially expected to be a titanic clash between Georgia's incumbent Republican governor and the former president of the United States turned out to be a lopsided fight. Brian Kemp thumped Donald Trump's hand-picked challenger in the GOP primary, advancing to a gubernatorial re-match with Democrat Stacey Abrams in November. Abrams starts the general election campaign in a defensive crouch, engaged in damage control over her "worst state" self-inflicted blunder – while spinning incoherently about how "increased turnout has nothing to do with suppression," as her "Jim Crow 2.0" demagoguery goes up in smoke. Her opponent is...

Newt Gingrich: ... So the president overall, President Trump overall has a very good track record. Look, I want to say I was for Perdue. And as you know, I'm very deeply for Jake Evans in the sixth District. But the fact is that Governor Kemp, to his credit, put together a very powerful campaign, used all the weapons that a sitting governor has to raise an amazing amount of money spent about two and a half months demolishing Perdue as a candidate, with Perdue not having the money to counter it. And Kemp is going to win a significant...
