Donald Trump’s early primary victories have started the “newsroom debates” again. Associated Press media reporter David Bauder penned a story headlined “Trump’s live appearances pose a riddle that news executives still haven’t solved.”
So, when a newsworthy event happens — like Trump’s victory speech after the New Hampshire primary — the pro-Biden networks worry “Trump will make false statements that are difficult, if not impossible, to correct in real time — or go completely off script with something entirely unexpected.”… Continue Reading

The Democrats’ plan to “save democracy” is pretty clear.
Their first order of business is to defeat former President Donald J. Trump by any means possible, wielding the legal system like a stiletto.
The second is to get rid of as many election integrity safeguards as possible. More about that in a moment, with Virginia as a striking example.
Mr. Trump, whose momentum toward the GOP nomination may be unstoppable, is being hounded on absurd charges by Democratic prosecutors in Democratic-run courts in four jurisdictions with jury pools dominated by Democrats.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Democrats’ One-Party Tyranny is The Real Meaning of ‘Saving Democracy’
Written by David E. Smith
Last week we learned that in January 2022, DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s team secretly obtained a subpoena from a judge to access Donald J. Trump‘s Twitter account information. He demanded that X, formerly known as Twitter, hand over information on all Americans who interacted with Trump on Twitter between October of 2020, while he was the President of the United States of America, to January of 2021. This would include people that did something as simple as liking a tweet issued by President Trump.… Continue Reading

On August 14th, 2023, Reverend Stephen Lee was indicted in Georgia for so-called election interference, along with 18 others including former President Donald J. Trump. The charges state he “unlawfully conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia and elsewhere.”
This is just totally absurd unless you consider Rev. Lee knocking on a couple of doors and making a couple of phone calls in Georgia a “pattern” for RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charges.… Continue Reading

The border between the United States and Mexico is approximately 1,954 miles long, and while much of the border is secured, there are large portions where it remains wide open for illegal immigration, smuggling, and trafficking. When Joe Biden came into office, he inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. Instead of following the successful policies of the Trump administration, he implemented three major changes that have resulted in a tsunami of migrants coming over the border:
- The first week in office Biden immediately halted construction of the border wall.

During a U.S. House Judiciary Committee Hearing on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, U.S. Representative Victoria Spartz (R-IN) emphatically complained to Attorney General Merrick Garland that there is growing fear of government persecution among Americans, saying at one point, “It’s like KGB.”
In a subsequent Tweet later, she points out:
“As someone who grew up in the Soviet Union, I’m disturbed by the fact that so many hardworking Americans—including my constituents—are afraid of political persecution by our own government.”

Comments Off on Growing Fears of Government Weaponization
Written by David E. Smith
“Donald Trump threatened democracy by casting doubt on the results of the election.” Sound familiar? It should; seeing as how the mainstream media trumpeted it from the rooftops during the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 election.
“Hillary Clinton threatened democracy by casting doubt on the results of the election.” Sound familiar? Probably not. The mainstream media has generally avoided drawing similar horrendous implications from similar election-doubting statements—when Clinton or other left-leaning politicians and media were the ones speaking.… Continue Reading

I caught the Republican debate on Wednesday. By the time you read this, it will have been analyzed to death. But here’s my take.
Some did better than others (Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, and former Gov. Nikki Haley). Vivek Ramaswamy stole the show with his outsider pizazz and snappy answers. A little too snappy perhaps, such as his below-the-belt crack that he was the only candidate not “bought and paid for.”… Continue Reading

About 3 weeks ago, Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action sponsored a Conference for the conservative grassroots at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Palm Beach, Florida. Attendance was estimated at over 6,000, with close to half of those being young, conservative college students.
As you may or may not know, Turning Point was initially founded locally in 2012 in Lemont, Illinois. Charlie Kirk is originally from the Arlington Heights/Prospect Heights area.… Continue Reading

Recent news seems to have fired up some grassroots and even maybe some conservative GOP leaders. The question proposed recently is this: should the Illinois GOP endorse or not endorse candidates in the primary?
In free and fair elections, why not just let the voters decide? Why would the Illinois GOP want to endorse in the primary if we are all, in fact, for free and fair elections? What would be the REAL reason why the Illinois GOP would want to endorse in the primary?… Continue Reading
