The War on Truth, Deep State Style

Written by Robert Knight

It’s not even Halloween, and the election is two months away, yet the Russian hobgoblins are coming out again to scare all the boys and girls.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is working hard to turn some annoying Russian cyber meddling into the greatest threat to “democracy” since Hillary Clinton’s operatives hatched the Russian collusion hoax of 2016.

Here’s how it works. The FBI identifies “divisive” themes put out by Russian bots, such as citizens’ concerns over inflation or crimes committed by illegal aliens and then denounces them as “disinformation.” … Continue Reading

Making It Too Big To Rig

Written by Don Surber

On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, Real Clear Politics gave Kamala Harris a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls. On the same date in 2020, Joe Biden had a 7.2 point lead. On the same date in 2016, Hillary Clinton had a 4.1 point lead.

While this appears to be comforting news, the three races were different because the first two races had October Surprises that favored Donald J.… Continue Reading

Alienating the Base

Written by Erick Erickson

In the real world, no nationwide abortion ban is going to pass Congress, so Donald Trump will never have the opportunity to veto it. As a practical matter, concerns from pro-life activists amount to nothing because nothing is going to happen at the federal level. But for Trump and JD Vance, how they have improvised answers to the concerns of pro-life voters could hurt them more than help them. At the local level, the pro-life movement is on defense and losing every state that puts the matter up to a public vote.… Continue Reading

Democrats’ New Way Forward, One Lie At A Time

Written by Robert Knight

The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech.

The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President Donald Trump, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.… Continue Reading

Redefining ‘the middle’: Pelosi, Walz and Modern Democrats

Written by Robert Knight

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former U.S. House speaker and one of the most prolific gaslighters in history, let out enough gas this week to power the West Coast.

Asked about the Democrats’ choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president alongside presidential nominee Kamala Harris, she emitted: “Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not — he’s right down the middle.… Continue Reading

Democrats and Their News Media Don’t Even Try to Hide What They Think of You

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In 2008, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama said he wasn’t surprised that people from “small towns in Pennsylvania, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, clung to [their] guns or religion.” This wasn’t a compliment. He thought those people were “weird.”

In 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the same group of people Mr. Obama disparaged a “basket of deplorables,” She went on to say we were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic [and] you name it,” just plain “weird.”… Continue Reading

The Undemocratic Democrat Party

Written by Peter Serefine

The Democratic Party’s handling of its presidential primaries over the past three election cycles has raised significant concerns about the internal democracy of a party that prides itself on democratic principles. The cases of Bernie Sanders in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Biden’s forced step aside in 2024 exemplify a pattern where the party’s leadership has moved against the will of its members, leading to accusations of undemocratic practices.

2016: The Sanders-Clinton Controversy

In 2016, Bernie Sanders mounted a formidable challenge against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.… Continue Reading

Is Joe Biden “The Most Religious President” in Our Lifetime?

Written by Peter Heck

You have to give media commentator Ana Navarro credit. She found a career loophole. Anything but profound or insightful, Navarro has continued to find work by capitalizing on her gender, ethnicity, and her willingness to wear a Republican label while criticizing every conservative policy idea.

It provides networks that want to avoid airing any actual conservative content the ability to claim they’ve “balanced” their coverage with a “Republican,” despite the fact that Navarro voted for Hillary Clinton, hosted fundraisers for Joe Biden, promotes transgenderism in the military, advocates for the killing of preborn humans, and opposes 2nd Amendment rights.… Continue Reading

NPR’s Lurch to the Left

Written by Robert Knight

For years, those of us in the media have known that National Public Radio could also be called National People’s Radio.

It’s no secret that tax-subsidized NPR has leaned left since its inception in 1970. But the network had some good reporting and used to keep its most radical elements mostly in check.

Public radio even features discussions pitting conservatives against liberals on various issues. I did some of those when I worked as a cultural policy analyst for the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America.… Continue Reading

Foreign Invaders Ride The Taxpayer Express

Written by Daniel Horowitz

The next time you’re fondled at the airport by a TSA agent, look around. You may very well see foreign nationals ushered through security without proper documentation and disregarding every TSA rule. While Joe Biden pretends that millions of invaders from 150 countries are a natural occurrence, his administration is using taxpayer-funded nongovernmental organizations to disperse tens of thousands of them throughout the country.

This cannot be allowed to continue. Why won’t Republicans pledge to put an end to it by refusing to fund one more penny of this scheme with the budget deadline looming?… Continue Reading
