The family of Craig Deleeuw Robertson issued a statement defending him after the FBI killed the 75-year-old following multiple social media posts threatening President Joe Biden. The FBI said he was armed when they raided his home in Provo, Utah, executing a search warrant. He wrote on Facebook earlier this week that he was planning to clean “the dust off the M24 sniper rifle” because Biden was visiting Utah. In one post, he wrote, “Perhaps Utah will become famous this week as the place a sniper took out Biden the Marxist.” Other social media posts featured Robertson, who called himself...

If Republicans have many things going for them in next week’s elections — an economy that’s like a millstone around Democrats’ necks, fear in the electorate about crime and a chaotic immigration system, President Biden’s low approval ratings — they are also taking what appear to be some enormous risks: having candidates on the ballot who many observers see as too inexperienced, extreme or scandal-burdened to win in November. But they forget that Republicans already took an enormous risk, in 2016, by nominating Donald Trump for president. And not only did they avoid ballot-box suicide to win the election, but...

Former President Donald Trump speaks loudly about the Republican candidates he's backing for the midterm elections. His money isn't always where his mouth is, however, at least not to the same level as Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell. With Election Day just four days away, Republicans are fighting to flip the Senate in their favor. Many Trump-endorsed candidates are neck-and-neck in tight races against their Democratic opponents. Every dollar counts this close to the election and despite last minute fundraising pushes on both sides, many races remain tight. In the meantime, Trump is directing his attention toward McConnell, a...

And now twice as dangerous, according to Joe Biden! In a recent speech, Joe Biden described "MAGA" Republicans as threatening "the very foundations of our republic" and stated that they espouse "extreme ideology." He differentiated between mainstream Republicans (with whom he says he can work) and "MAGA Republicans," who are "a threat to this country." In a more recent speech, he used the term "Mega MAGA Republicans." I guess that refers to those of us who really, really, really want to make America great again. You say it like it's a bad thing... A MAGA Republican is not a member...

President Joe Biden is continuing to try to paint MAGA Republicans as extremists, just days before the midterm elections. When speaking at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters (DNCH) in Washington D.C., on Monday, Biden claimed that the elections are a “stark choice” between Democrat policies and “mega-MAGA trickle-down” policies. […] “Democrats are building a better America for everyone,” he said. “With economy that grows from the bottom up and middle out. Where everyone does well and Republicans doubling down on their mega-MAGA trickle down economics. That benefits the wealthy. (Mega-MAGA policies) failed the country before and will fail again if...

Top strategists in the Democratic Party fear Arizona Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake will be a rising star in national politics, including as a potential presidential candidate. Lake, a political novice and former television news anchor, is locked in a tight race with Arizona's Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs for the state's open governor's seat. Among the 'ultra MAGA' candidates who are close allies of Donald Trump and support his baseless claims that President Joe Biden lost the 2020 election, Lake is seen as among the likeliest to win in November.

We’ll hold Biden accountable,” DeSantis told guest host Raymond Arroyo. “This is a referendum on his failures, make sure everybody knows how his policies have contributed to the mess we’re in, and then articulate what you will do to address things like the border, like crime, like inflation. I think if you do that, I think Republicans are going to win both chambers. And I think it’ll be a really good night.” DeSantis also weighed in on the Biden administration trying to blame Republicans for school lockdowns during the pandemic while many Democrat politicians actually supported closing schools. “Well, first...

On September 1, Joe Biden headed to Independence Hall in Philadelphia – where the Continental Congress met, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were created – and instead of rising to the heights deserved by the rooftop that once held the Liberty Bell, he sank below the gutters outside, and delivered a rant worthy of the lowest shop steward, the most guttural petty mobster. In an insult-laden speech, Joe Biden kicked off his part of the midterm election season by insulting America’s voters and slandering the conservative movement. None of this should be surprising,...

Early voting for Arizona’s primary elections started on Tuesday. Republicans can do something good for their country and party by defeating Kari Lake. Lake, once an anchor on a Fox-TV affiliate in Phoenix, is former president Donald Trump’s choice for governor. She has thundered to a lead in the polls by theatrically embracing ultra-MAGA conservatism.

After Rep. Tom Rice became the first electoral victim of Donald Trump's revenge campaign against the Republicans who voted to impeach him, a GOP colleague who had also backed the former President's impeachment reached out to the South Carolina lawmaker and attempted to console him. "I told him afterward, I said, 'So much for the adage that members of Congress are more concerned about their next election than their job here,'" retiring Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan recalled telling Rice, in a nod to the fact that his impeachment vote is likely what cost him in last week's Republican primary...

Live coverage of Trump rally to defeat Liz Cheney. He's scheduled to start his speech at 4 pm Mountain Time.

The political demise of flawed incumbent North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn was tough to watch. The guy has had a rough life and many challenges, yet ruined his career in Congress with some self-inflicted wounds. There are other candidates portraying themselves as MAGA who can’t use the cover of being pro-Trump to mask serious problems with their candidacy. The U.S. House of Representatives is on the cusp of a Republican takeover. History is on the side of Republicans with both President’s Donald J. Trump and Obama suffering massive losses in the first midterms. The polling for President Biden is in...

WASHINGTON—This afternoon, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called President Biden to ask what happened with the aid package he received. Zelenskyy explained that the purchasing power of the $40 Billion in aid that Congress sent a few hours ago had already depleted to $30 Billion due to runaway inflation of the US dollar. “That can’t be right, President Zelenskyy—can you refresh your browser and try again?” said a confused Biden to Zelenskyy over the phone. “How’s that? It lost $10 Billion—with a ‘B’?? How's that possible, man? It must be Russian interference! Russia and ultra-MAGA! They've sabotaged the transaction!” Aides tried to...

As the May 17 Pennsylvania party primaries approach, it’s clear that Trumpism has reduced what was once a powerful and moderate state Republican Party to a rotten receptacle filled with candidates fashioning themselves in his image. Many of them lack much if any previous political ties to the state, or to politics at all. snip So, and not surprisingly, most of the Trump-adoring candidates in the current GOP Senate primary have few or no real political roots in the state they claim to want to represent. Dr. Mehmet Oz got his medical degree at Penn, but is really from Turkey,...

The Saturday shooting at a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket that left 10 people dead will be investigated as a hate crime, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of New York Trini Ross said during a press conference. Erie County Sheriff John Garcia called the shooting a “straight-up racially motivated hate crime.” Police said a white man drove from hours away to go into a Tops Friendly Market, which is in a predominantly Black neighborhood, and opened fire.

Liberal, Democratic Party-aligned strategists, pollsters, and think tank experts spent six months coming up with the “ultra MAGA” label that President Joe Biden has begun to deploy against Republicans ahead of a difficult midterm election. The Washington Post reported Friday: Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group.

The Washington Post is out with some amazing reporting that says President Joe Biden’s recent use of “MAGA” and “Ultra MAGA” to insult former President Donald Trump “was the result of a six-month research effort by liberal groups”: Biden's attempt to reappropriate "MAGA" and "ultra MAGA" was the result of a six-month research effort by liberal groups.
