This may seem like it’s way too early to be talking about this but I’m anxious for Donald Trump to let beleaguered American conservatives know what his plans are for 2024. via GIPHY Trump’s flair for the dramatic has always been one of the things I like about him but it’s not helping right now.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order late Monday prohibiting all COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the state of Texas. “The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus, but should always remain voluntary and never forced,” Abbott said in a tweet announcing the executive order. The ban prohibits “any entity.” including

A monument of Christopher Columbus in Rapallo, Italy (boggy22/Getty Images) Columbus Day, Indigenous People’s Day, National Coming Out Day — the second Monday in October is just a ridiculous political football now. Most people don’t even get off of work for it anymore, which is fine because, as Kevin Williamson says, Mondays are for working

CNN’s so desperate to defend Democrats they will even claim a cringeworthy statement made by a Dem during a debate must’ve been “edited” or taken “out of context!” On Inside Politics this afternoon, host King and CNN analyst Margaret Talev of Axios talked about the Virginia governor’s race coming up this November between Democrat Terry McAuliffe

Weeks after the Maricopa County election audit revealed more than 50,000 ballots affected by irregularities (more than five times Joe Biden’s margin of victory in the state-certified results) a new poll shows the number of voters who believe that cheating affected the results of the 2020 election. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey found that 56

The White House is pushing National Coming Out Day as a way of changing the subject. It

Progressive guilt and racial grievance mongering were the order of the day today in New England. And, oh, yes, the Boston Marathon took place there, too. USA Today’s left-wing sports columnist Nancy Armour and the Boston Athletic Association asserted the sport of distance running is far too white and has erased indigenous people for far too long.

Really. Look, I get it. My hands aren’t completely clean on this one. I opposed Donald Trump — hard — during the 2016 Republican primaries. I didn’t trust Trump for a whole host of reasons, not least of which was his Johnny-come-lately approach to conservatism. But my biggest objection to Trump was that I felt

Pretty Smart is a new Netflix sitcom (released Friday) about recently dumped Harvard graduate Chelsea (Emily Osment) who moves in with her bubbly sister Claire (Oliva Macklin) and her three roommates. But it’s pretty dumb when it comes to its explanation of the world of “straight spaces.” In the fourth episode, one of the roommates,

Whilst enjoying some delicious bourbon, Kevin and I ponder America’s rapid transition to a creepy police state in just a few months thanks to the usurper in the Oval Office. We both figure that it won’t be too long before the Feds show up to say hi to us. via GIPHY Sure, we are mostly

On Sunday afternoon, MSNBC weekend anchor Alex Witt put on the latest display of her partisanship by devoting a segment to fretting over Texas Republicans making it more difficult for two House Democrats to get reelected, drawing them both into the same district in Houston. It sounded like DNC TV as Witt gushed that the

Many would argue that the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan has been the low point of Biden’s presidency. Between the rapid collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government, the Taliban’s rapid takeover, and the deaths of 13 U.S. service members at Kabul airport, things got so bad for Biden that he saw his approval ratings collapse. Even

In June, my family and I joined the California exodus and sought refuge in Idaho. We had lived in California off and on for more than 30 years, but with the crumbling economy, tyrannical government, and dismal quality of life, enough was enough. Though living in a free state has been the change we needed,

With Congress’s debate on the debt ceiling pushed back to December 3, ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos invited Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen onto Sunday’s This Week in order to pressure her into going along with absurd schemes Democrats were cooking up to deal with the national debt. From a trillion-dollar coin to invoking an archaic

Any lingering doubts about where the GOP is and where it’s going were laid to rest on Saturday night in Iowa, where Donald Trump spoke to thousands of enthusiastic Republicans at the Iowa state fairgrounds. It wasn’t so much what Trump said that revealed his status as leader of the party. Trump repeated his oft-stated

On Friday, Jen Psaki was asked about Biden’s falling poll numbers. Americans have seen the failure of this President and his inability to lead our nation with many no doubt having buyers remorse. So when she was asked about Biden’s falling poll numbers, Psaki did not want to talk about the continued failures in the

Unbeknownst to the rest of the country, MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross is a self-appointed “keeper of the [African-American] culture” and thus someone in a position to decide who is — and is not — an authentic “Black voice.” Back in reality, one could deem her a racist for deciding whether fellow Black people are truly Black

I knew what I wanted to say in this episode and I kept having an almost impossible time saying it. You know things are getting weird when I can’t talk anymore. The gist of it is that I’m annoyed that the federal government is trying to label all conservatives as terrorists, especially since my life

A vocal Marine goes from hero to bust among conservatives, activists go to insane levels to threaten and intimate sitting U.S. Senators, and a Facebook “whistleblower” makes it a little easier to like Facebook. 1.
