Sen. Elizabeth Warren shows why Democrats won’t win

Sen. Elizabeth Warren responded to President Trump's campaign against government waste and corruption and Elon Musk's recent DOGE revelations by saying this administration is sending the nation to "a constitutional crisis." She's everything Americans voted against this pastt November.

Democrats out themselves as corrupt by crying at USAID cuts

Where the money transfers go, there will the secrets be revealed. Chances are those who are currently crying the loudest about investigations into USAID are the ones who have the most to hide. Innocent people don't generally need to conceal their actions.

Trump nails it, says God is America’s ‘strength’

American Exceptionalism is the idea that individual rights come from God, and government only exists to preserve and protect those rights and liberties to the individual. President Trump, at the National Prayer Breakfast, nailed that concept.

Republicans should let go the Edward Snowden grudge

Republicans in the Senate -- some, anyway -- raised their eyebrows in surprise when Tulsi Gabbard, the president's pick to lead up national intelligence, refused to say whether Edward Snowden was a traitor or patriot for leaking classified documents in 2013.

President Trump had a very good first week

President Donald Trump entered the White House on a wave of campaign promises to secure the border, destroy the DEI, release the J6-ers, ramp up domestic energy production and reel in the LGBTQ lunacy. And so far so good. America is well on its way to becoming America once again.

DEI finally frying in the fires of American Exceptionalism

President Trump signed an executive order that shut down diversity, equity and inclusion offices at the federal level. Then he made clear his government would be one that hired, promoted and employed based on competence. In other words: He put Marxism back in its box.

A missile is on display with a sign on it reading in Farsi: "Death to Israel" in front of a mosque in the shape of Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem at an entrance of the Quds town west of the capital Tehran, Iran, Sunday, April 21, 2024. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei on Sunday dismissed any discussion of whether Tehran's unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel hit anything there, a tacit acknowledgment that despite launching a massive assault, few projectiles actually made through to their targets.

Iran from Davos makes play as peace-lover to the world

Iran's new bestie-to-the-world approach may fool Democrats. And the brain dead. But as for the rest of America and the world -- and certainly the Trump administration -- the thought isn't so much to tickle Tehran's tummy as it is to raise up arms.

Biden’s unpardonable pardons

Joe Biden spent his last presidential political capital issuing pardons to COVID-crackdown face Anthony Fauci, to the former Afghanistan-withdrawal disaster of a general, Mark Milley, and to perennial MAGA hater and former legislator Liz Cheney. For what? Oh, nothing. Just in case.

George Soros, the media-buying oligarch Biden nonetheless loves

President Biden warned that the power of America's government was being concentrated within a small circle of select elites -- that an "oligarchy" was "taking shape" -- and that if the "ultraweathy" weren't held in check, individual freedoms would disappear. Yet he gave George Soros a medal.

Trump already making America healthy again

The Food and Drug Administration just announced it would ban the use of Red No. 3, a dye used in thousands of food and medicinal products to provide color but that has been linked to cancer in animals. Why the sudden change of 100-plus-year-old FDA heart? Two words. Donald. Trump.

Executive orders are blowing up the Constitution

Enough of the executive orders. They're tearing apart the Constitution. They're also sidelining Congress and allowing legislators to skirt accountability, even while stripping them of power.
