‘America First’ is the solution to China’s growing threats

Half of Americans taking part in a survey from Pew Research said China is the greatest threat to the United States. This is great news. If a problem cannot be fixed so long as the problem isn't recognized, then at least half of Americans are finally getting the big picture: the Chinese Communist Party is a danger to the entire world.

Bold & Blunt: Blame government for the homeless crisis

If you want to know the source of homelessness in America, look no farther than local government. That's where much of the policies and regulations and restrictions that impede the development of low-cost housing come from, and where much of the crackdown on private property rights hail.

Supreme Court squeeze is on

Harris off and running with the evil and antisemitism

Vice President Kamala Harris has barely announced her run for the presidency for 2024, but she's already ticked off America's number one ally, Israel. How so? By blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for killing "far too many" civilians in Gaza. Jane, you ignorant slut. That's called war -- you blankedly blank blank Kamala.

Biden economy an albatross around Democrats’ necks

A new poll from CNN found four in 10 adults are afraid they're not earning enough to provide for their families. That's significant in itself. But add to it the fact that this four-in-10 figure is a massive jump over the 28 percent who expressed that same fear three years ago, and suddenly Democrats have a huge problem.

As a stark reminder of the difference between Donald Trump's White House and Joe Biden's administration, Mike Pompeo, said that under the former MAGA leader "the Iranian regime was afraid" and "the people of Israel were strong and secure" -- while under this present presidency, it's been the opposite.

American Exceptionalism on the ballot

Republicans are pushing for a future of freedom. Democrats are harping on historical offenses -- taken largely out of context; spun for the greatest advantage -- so as to divide the nation and conquer the citizens and rule, rule, rule rather than serve with humility and truth.

Border, safety, law, order — the bread and butter of Trump 2024

Day Two of the Republican convention is branded as a "Make America Safe Again" theme, and against a backdrop of an assassination attempt against Donald Trump, along with three-plus years of record-level flows of illegals across the border -- thanks, Joe Biden -- there's no better message the GOP can bring.

Trump’s finest moment: ‘Fight, fight, fight’

If stress reveals the true nature of an individual, Donald Trump is the unrivaled leader of the free world. With bullets flying, and security detail rushing, a bloodied Trump ultimately rose from an assassination attempt to raise a clenched fist in the air and mouth, to a shocked crowd, "fight, fight, fight."

Ron Klain, former White House chief of staff, said of his ex-boss, Joe Biden, that the president will have a "better second debate" against Donald Trump.

Democrats are in an uproar over the latest Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. And they've turned vicious claws toward the justices in hopes of taking them down somehow. They never can just accept defeat graciously.
