Trump, the Fighter The Republican National Convention (RNC) billed Donald Trump as a “changed” man, one more softened and spiritual, after surviving that assassination attempt. But the Trump who droned on last night was all too familiar. He gave the longest presidential nomination speech in US history, spewing the same divisive rhetoric and policies in… Read more.
Trump ridiculed Scott Trump continually ridiculed Tim Scott, saying, “You are campaigning harder for me than yourself.” This was Trump’s sadomasochistic way of acknowledging how hard Scott was auditioning for VP. That’s why MSNBC host Joy Reid and others waxed clairvoyant and indignant last night, explaining why Trump didn’t pick him. Of course, any Black… Read more.
A “breathtakingly misguided” ruling Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is right. Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump is “breathtakingly misguided.” But nobody should be surprised. After all, with her incomprehensible rulings on procedural motions, Cannon dropped breadcrumbs that led inexorably to this dismissal. Procedural delays… Read more.
In a shocking turn of events, the FBI, Secret Service, and ATF are investigating an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, shots were heard shortly after Trump took the stage. Reports are that he’s “fine.” But kudos to President Biden for rushing to condemn this violence and… Read more.
Former President Trump on Friday reupped his request for President Biden to undergo a cognitive test, telling Biden he would accompany him. ‘Joe should immediately take a Cognitive Test, and I will go with him, and take one also,’ Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. ‘For the first time we’ll be a team,… Read more.

Instead, the New Popular Front, a rebranded leftist coalition,… Read more.
Presidents causing national anxiety The world spent much of Trump’s presidency in suspended anxiety over his unhinged tweets. That’s why Biden’s presidency provided such a collective sigh of relief. But Biden now seems hell-bent on inflicting more anxiety over his cognitive decline. That was all I felt watching this interview. I kept waiting for him… Read more.
Biden has immunity to end Trump’s campaign Biden and the Democrats should stop worrying and scaremongering about what a reelected Trump might do. Instead, they should realize that the Supreme Court just ruled Biden can use the DOJ, FBI, or even Seal Team 6 to ensure Trump never sets foot in the White House again.… Read more.
Trump is immune Former presidents are immune from prosecution for official actions taken while in the White House, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday, but do not have immunity for unofficial acts. The 6-3 ruling along ideological lines appears to mean that parts of Donald Trump’s federal election-interference trial could proceed in D.C., but only… Read more.
Democrats in panic Mere seconds after last night’s debate, every reporter and pundit on CNN shared how their phones were “blowing up” with messages from Democratic politicians, donors, and organizers. They were all panicking, bemoaning their party’s fate if Joe Biden remained at the top of their ticket for the November General Election. Thomas Friedman… Read more.
