Law professor Jonathan Turley posted on X on Friday, “Democrat Richard Ojeda, who was just elected to Congress, has declared that he would be 'happy to go to jail' if he has a chance to physically assault the incoming Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.” While I’d love to see the Secret Service, under whose protection Miller lives because of violent leftists threatening to murder him and his family in the name of “tolerance,” break Ojeda’s jaw as they threw him to the floor, I somehow suspect the unfortunate-looking Democrat is all talk, as most Democrats are. They’re all talk when...

Advertisers are fleeing a left-wing podcast whose hosts spent over 30 seconds laughing at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan spent 30 seconds laughing about “digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” The comment referred to the assassination of husband and father Charlie Kirk, who traveled to Utah and was fatally shot in 2025 for challenging college students to prove him wrong. ... However, the podcasters have edited the segment after conservatives complained to the show's advertisers. Multiple sponsors have pulled their support.

Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch announced Thursday he won’t seek another term at the helm of his chamber next year, acknowledging his tenure was doomed after 26 Democratic state representatives signed a statement calling for a change in leadership. The seismic statehouse shakeup comes in the wake of revelations over the summer that Welch was aware of sexual harassment allegations against disgraced ex-state Rep. Harry Benton, D-Plainfield, almost three years before additional complaints prompted Benton’s resignation. The call for new leadership was distributed late Wednesday by North Side state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, the most vocal public critic of Welch’s...

Liberal podcast star Jennifer Welch branded President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement a “Nazi-style cult” during the Monday’s edition of her show. Welch ranted that MAGA supporters are fake Americans who need to be placed in a special historical category, much like citizens of the Third Reich. “We cannot let them besmirch the name the United States of America. Let it be MAGA. Much like when you think of Germany, you don’t associate modern-day Germany as being Nazis. You don’t associate that,” Welch said on I’ve Had It. “So we need to separate ourselves from this Nazi-style cult,...

In a reprehensible slap in the face to the oppressed people of Venezuela, far-left members of the Democratic Party are urging President Obama to resist bipartisan efforts to level sanctions against the authoritarian government of Nicholas Maduro. Based on comments by the Administration, apparently their sympathy for the Marxist regime is shared by the White House in a startling reversal of national doctrine of supporting freedom and liberty that has endured since the US was founded in 1776. John Conyers, Democratic Congressman from Michigan, penned a letter to Obama signed by he and 13 of his colleagues urging them to...

A pair of Democrats are pressing Pfizer about the company’s plans to raise the price of its COVID-19 vaccine. In a letter to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), a senator-elect, slammed the move as “pure and deadly greed” and expressed concern it could result in other vaccine manufacturers, such as Moderna and Novavax, raising the prices of their vaccines. The Democrats asked for information about the justification for the price increase and the impact of the increase on Americans who could be required to pay high out-of-pocket costs for the vaccine. “We...

I’m certainly hoping that newly elected Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch has the leadership skills, the wisdom, the guts and the character to help yank the state back from the economic abyss and promote legislation that will improve our quality of life. Does he? “A 2002 police report indicates that officers in west suburban Hillside were called to Welch’s home, where an ex-girlfriend told them that Welch slammed her head into a kitchen countertop numerous times after she called him ‘a loser.’ The woman did not press charges after talking it over with a relative of Welch’s.” “Welch also faced...

William F. Buckley, the founder of National Review (where I work), once confessed in private, “I wish to hell I could attack them without pleasing people I can’t stand to please.” By “them” he meant the members of the conspiracy-mongering, anti-Communist, anti-United Nations, anti-civil rights John Birch Society. The people Bill couldn’t stand to please, of course, were liberals. And yet Buckley did eventually go after the Birchers, at first trying as best he could to denounce their leader, Robert Welch, without alienating the rank and file. Eventually, this needle became impossible to thread, specifically when Welch began insisting that...

Retired General Electric CEO Jack Welch says his two-hour White House meeting with President Trump and other business executives “far exceeded my expectations” and covered issues ranging from immigration to financial regulations to women in the workplace. “I’m telling you it was one of the best meetings I’ve ever been to in my life in terms of real stuff, real issues being discussed,” Welch told the Herald by phone last night. “No phony baloney. Nothing like that.” Welch said he has met with nearly every president since 1981, and found Trump surprisingly well-versed on topics, engaged and genuinely focused on...

Democratic Congressman Peter Welch of Vermont is feeling the love from Republicans. Welch won both the Democratic and Republican nominations in August for re-election this year to a sixth term, and faces a little known candidate in November from the small Liberty Union political party. Winning both major party nominations is rare but not unheard of. Welch also was the pick of both parties in 2008 for Vermont’s only seat in the U.S. House. This year, he’s the only congressional candidate nominated by both the Democrats and the Republicans. Known as an open-minded liberal, Welch is praised by GOP leaders...
