GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz confronted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday. “What night are you speaking? Are you speaking tonight?” Gaetz shouted at McCarthy as someone pulled the Florida lawmaker back. McCarthy ignored Gaetz so he came back and taunted him one more time. “If you took that stage you would booed off of it. You’d get booed off the stage!” Gaetz said to McCarthy. McCarthy refused to engage as Matt Gaetz pulled back. WATCH:

With the Republican National Convention underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as of Monday, the party has officially chosen former President Donald Trump as their nominee for November’s presidential election. While Trump’s address to the convention after tragedy struck on Saturday when an assassin’s bullet nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly be one of patriotism and unity, there are still career Republicans in Congress present at the convention who are incredibly unpopular. As each state was officially announcing its delegates for Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took to the microphone to cast 46 votes for Trump....

As the 2024 Republican National Convention kicked off in downtown Milwaukee, a group of anti-Trump and anti-GOP organizers began a showing conservatives how unwelcome they really are. The self-proclaimed anti-fascists, pro-Palestinians protestors, LBGTQ advocates, communists and more gathered blocks away from the RNC HQ at Fiserv Forum for the 'March on RNC 2024,' Monday afternoon. **SNIP** ‘I hate the Republican party, I’ll say that,’ Anthony, an attendee from the Milwaukee area, exclusively told DailyMail.com. When pressed on what he hates most, Anthony said how the party champions capitalism, adding, ‘Most of the people in the country aren't on your side,...

Former President Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. reportedly had a meeting just as the Republican National Convention kicked off in Milwaukee on Monday—though Kennedy was quick to quell rumors that the end of his bid for the Oval Office is near. Multiple people familiar with the meeting told Politico the two met to discuss Trump possibly receiving Kennedy’s endorsement. ... “No, I am not dropping out of the race.” Shortly after the pair’s meeting Trump expressed support for Kennedy to be awarded Secret Service protection—something the Biden Administration quickly granted.

He's in the house- just put him on the big screen!!!

Former President Donald Trump has arrived in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention a day after he was targeted in an attempted assassination at a campaign event. Trump's airplane touched down Sunday, the day before the four-day event kicks off with thousands of Republicans coming together to formally elect him as their 2024 presidential nominee. The shocking scenes of violence at his Saturday campaign rally that injured his right ear, killed a spectator and injured another set a dark backdrop for the convention, which is typically four days of party pageantry, political speeches, policy platforms and the presidential nominee's keynote...

WATERTOWN, Wis. — The list of protesting individuals and organizations signed up to take part in a parade or speaker platform during next week’s Republican National Convention includes the “Chinese Communist Party” and “Former President, Donald J. Trump” — as the city of Milwaukee approved everyone who applied, without vetting or checking identities. Trump’s contact person is listed as “Joe Biden,” and the CCP’s address is “Beijing, China.” The CCP would like to be in both a parade and a speaker platform every day of the convention in the early afternoon if the entry is to be believed. Registrants had...

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy remains in the spotlight after his headline-inducing campaign flamed out six months ago. Ramaswamy, 38, an author and businessman, will be speaking at the GOP convention in Milwaukee next week, two sources familiar tell National Review, reflecting his prominence among Republicans. A spokesperson for Ramaswamy declined to comment further. Last year, Ramaswmay burst onto the scene during the GOP presidential primary by making himself a constant fixture in the press and generating viral moments online. His penchant for debating and offering bold proposals to dramatically curtail the administrative state fueled his unexpected rise in...

In a ruling on June 27, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned a lower court injunction that had prevented a pro-lifer from coming near a Planned Parenthood nurse to share his convictions. Brian Aish has been advocating for life outside the Planned Parenthood facility in Blair, Wisconsin since 2014. According to Thomas More Society, Aish “preached the Christian message of repentance and shared his pro-life views on the public right of way.” In 2020, a Planned Parenthood nurse, Nancy Kindschy, filed a restraining order against Aish; that same year a county judge granted an injunction against him, which was upheld in...

We can’t escape AI these days. Between the handwringing over what role AI will play in the future — some of which is understandable — to the ubiquity of AI assistance online, it’s on our minds and in our faces. AI can be helpful; we occasionally use image generators here at PJ Media to come up with funny or unusual featured images. It can also be annoying as all get out; if Meta AI is any indication, I don’t think we have to worry about robot overlords taking over anytime soon. But now, prognosticators rely on AI to predict all...

Big Mo has raised its head in a very big state for Democrat hopes ... and not in a good way. A new poll from AARP -- not exactly a MAGA-friendly joint -- shows Joe Biden now trailing outside the margin of error in both head-to-head and full ballot matchups against Donald Trump. And it's not a post-debate outlier, either:Former President Trump holds a 6-point lead over President Biden on the full ballot: 44% - 38%. RFK Jr. gets 9%, other candidates 4%, and 5% are undecided. Trump is up 50% - 45% on the head-to-head ballot.Trump has similar mid-single...

In Wisconsin, the State Supreme Court agreed to hear Planned Parenthood's plea that a right to abortion be found in the state's constitution. The Court denied a request by three pro-life groups, Wisconsin Right to Life, Wisconsin Family Action, and Pro-Life Wisconsin to present opposing arguments in this case. Chief Justice Annette Ziegler said "it makes no sense for us to hear arguments from persons who maintain that there is no right to abortion in the document. We will look where Planned Parenthood tells us to look. If we agree that the identified words can be construed as supporting a...

Former President Trump holds a 5-point lead over President Biden in the critical battleground state of Wisconsin, according to a new poll. A poll by AARP, which was conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research, showed Trump ahead of Biden 50 percent support to 45 percent when the two are placed in a match-up against each other, with 4 percent of respondents undecided and 1 percent saying “other.” When Trump and Biden are placed on the same ballot with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and several other long-shot candidates, Trump leads Biden by 6 points, at 44 percent support...

There are pivotal moments that define a person’s transformation, both personally and politically, and Elon Musk is right in the middle of one. Thanks to the Democrats’ radical Marxist agenda and their botched, tyrannical policies, Musk has been pulling off political U-turns left and right. So much so, that jaws were literally dropping after his latest post. This was, by far, Elon’s most savage “red pill” moment to date. It all unfolded when Elon Musk chimed in on a thread about the SAVE Act on his X platform, a proposal aimed at ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections....

They say you get what you pay for. Swing state Wisconsin is getting the erosion of election integrity laws, thanks to a mountain of leftist money that changed the makeup of the state’s Supreme Court. On Friday, just as President Joe Biden was slated to make a campaign visit to capital city and leftist enclave Madison, the left-leaning Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed a previous court ruling and endorsed the widespread use of absentee ballot drop boxes in November’s election. The ruling opens the door to the same kind of election shenanigans that plagued the Badger State in 2020.

We are data guys and we see almost no way Trump wins without Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - which he is on track to lose - handily - again. He doesn’t need to win them all, but losing them all is fatal. Each of these states has industrial scale ballot manufacturing operations creating enough ballots to overcome any “too big to rig” strategy. Just how big is “too big to rig?” Try 4% to 5% of the voter roll - in each of these 4 swing states - contain enough anomalous identity/address combinations that can be voted, via mail-in...
