Bold and Blunt: Democrats ratchet anti-MAGA lawlessness

Democrats have been fighting against the Donald Trump machine for years -- since at least 2015, when he first descended the golden escalator to announce his bid for the White House. But no matter how many times they're outed as politically weaponized, Democrats don't stop.

Another day, another Democrat defends an MS-13 illegal

A Democrat state representative for Rhode Island named Enrique Sanchez slammed on social media federal agents as "Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs" after they conducted a sweep in Providence of illegals. Only Democrats would dare to defend illegals so boldly.

Obama-era radicals about to lose their environmental religion

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced a pathway to put an end to a Barack Obama-era environmental provision called the "endangerment finding," a provision that handed radical leftists a tool of massive control. This is a big win for the American people.

UCLA, where all the antisemites go

The University of California, Los Angeles, just agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit over a "Jew Exclusion Zone" established during the school's recent heydays of antisemitic protests. Bravo, UCLA. Who knew you couldn't set up no-go zones for Jews -- right? (Insert sarcastic tone here.)

Bold and Blunt: Russia, Russia, Russia, a ‘hoax’ and a ‘coup’

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of National Intelligence, has been dumping documents on the American people to prove that the Russia, Russia, Russia collusion was not only a hoax, but more than that, a coup -- and a coup conducted by the minds of the highest-ranking offices of the executive branch.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani gets a fat-cat capitalist wedding

The socialist-slash-communist Zohran Mamdani just took a timeout from his Big Apple mayoral campaign to fly to his wealthy parents' elitist property in Uganda to marry his fiancee in a three-day ceremony that came complete with masked security guards and cellphone jamming system.

Obama won’t be going to jail

Barack Obama, the ex-president who promised utter transparency but who is now being accused of treason, may have been -- as one former federal prosecutor put it -- "complicit up to his neck" in advancing the fake Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, but he won't go to jail.

Democrats pay the price of the whirlwinds they released

President Trump has called out former President Barack Obama for "treason" for "trying to lead a coup" during the 2016 and 2020 election cycles -- accusations the former White House chief, through a spokesman, denied. It's refreshing to see Democrats face political fire for what they lit.

It’s not about Jeffrey Epstein. It’s about the Epstein victims

There's a whole lot of talk going 'round these days about the need to move on and let go and get over the Jeffrey Epstein matter -- that it's old news, conspiracy talk. But the Jeffrey Epstein matter is not about Jeffrey Epstein. It never was. Not really. It's about the victims.

When judges are so smart they’re stupid

Leftist judges: If they're not busily activating on behalf of leftist causes, they're just as busily putting their minds to work to bang out the next batch of tortured logic to support their leftist causes.

Democrats can’t dodge their autopen problem

Oh me, oh my. What a tangled web is weaved when we lie. Turns out, then-White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients actually approved the use of the autopen. His words. He wrote in an email, "I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons."

The former president Barack Obama, at a private fundraiser in New Jersey, said Democrats ought to do "less navel-gazing," "less whining," less rolling into "fetal positions" and more "courage," more fight, fight, fight. This, from the guy who sped up the Democrat Party's decline into Marxism.

Jerome Powell has some $2.5 billion ‘splainin’ to do

Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, called out Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for excessive spending on building renovations -- specifically, that a planned and budgeted multimillion-dollar project exceeded costs by $700 million, for a total of $2.5 billion. It's so easy to spend other people's money.
