The puzzling—perhaps deceptive—thing about Trump’s attack on Plaats is that candidates, nonprofits, and PACs paying for table sponsorships are extremely common. Whether it’s Lincoln Day Dinners, Christmas parties, candidate forums, and so on, political organizations will try to offset the costs with sponsorship packages.
Read MoreOne thing that has really upset me during this primary process is watching influencers on the right have totally dishonest takes. Sometimes, we get things wrong. Sometimes, influencers can have bad opinions or be blinded by bias. But a post made Thursday by Jack Posobiec, Senior Editor of Human Events, is a lie. “BREAKING: DeSantis just went on MSNBC and suggested Trump should be removed from the primary if he is convicted in any of the cases against him.”
Read MoreThe idea of Trump returning for a big finale is tempting. It feels like justice for millions of voters who believe the election was unfair (whether through fraud or Big Tech and media manipulation), or at least like vindication for those who supported Trump, knowing he was a far better president than Biden. But I’ve also heard Trump supporters say they were only interested in “retribution.” …A DeSantis supporter responded to the “retribution” motivation with, “I don’t have time for retribution; I’ve got kids.”
Read More“A few months ago, Trump told me he would never forget that Netanyahu congratulated Biden even as the votes were still being counted.”
Read MoreDemanding an end to the primaries before a single ballot is cast, in order to save future elections, is nonsensical. Primaries are a part of our democratic process. If the confident Trump campaign wants to lay the groundwork for an effective general election strategy and protect their win, there’s nothing stopping them from focusing their energy and manpower there now.
Read MoreSo, why the drastic change in tune? Well, Lake once thought the only compliment greater than being told she’d be the “DeSantis of the West” was being “Trump in a dress.” Simply put, Kari Lake is not acting as the straight shooter she once pitched herself to be while running for governor. She’s parroting similar remarks that former President Trump made earlier this year, who praised former Democrat Governor Charlie Crist, implying sunshine and ocean are enough to make Florida work well, and DeSantis is a nonfactor.
Read MoreSome of Trump’s apologists have pointed out that the purpose of overturning Roe v. Wade was for abortion to be kicked back to the states and to honor the Tenth Amendment. But Trump didn’t criticize a national 6-week ban. He said what DeSantis did was “terrible,” so Trump is criticizing pro-life legislation passed in a red state.
Read More“My response is that we should think of inheritance taxes not just as a way of redistributing wealth, but a way of redistributing duty. Yes, by definition preventing parents from creating dynasties is a restriction on their liberty. Civilization itself amounts to a collective agreement for each individual to give up some liberties so that the group can prosper.”
Read MoreThe first 2024 debate has concluded, and though the missing elephant tried to steal its thunder, it was an entertaining and—at times—substantive debate. Some left a good impression and others will probably fade.
Read MoreDeSantis made a point that a personality can’t be behind the conservative movement; it has to be grounded in some sort of principle. Whether you’re a Republican cannot be based on your loyalty to an individual; it has to be based on believing in and advancing a particular set of ideals.
Read MoreBut this particular objection made by Harris was familiar to Jeremy Redfern, press secretary to Governor DeSantis. It was “essential knowledge” in the AP standards Harris wanted to be taught in Florida back in January.
Read MoreThere is a time when politicians will come out and call the defenseless unborn a “child.” If a woman is raped, suddenly, that baby is a “child.” And it’s not her child. It’s not a grandchild of loving parents who want to help their daughter get through a crisis. It’s not a child with unalienable rights. They are the “rapist’s child.”
Read MoreBusinessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who is also a presidential hopeful, gave some insight on Fox News Business that’s raising a few eyebrows. “You wanna know something funny about this? I’ve attended CPAC before. I didn’t know it works this way. A consultant calls my campaign shortly after I declared and said, ‘Hey, we can get you up to number two on there if you pay a few hundred thousand dollars.” Ramaswamy was “shocked,” but I certainly wasn’t.
Read More“It’s nothing personal. It’s just business.” That was the tagline for former President Donald Trump’s hit show on NBC, The Apprentice. It’s also the attitude of young pro-life activists looking toward a presidential win in 2024.
Read MoreWhether Trump proves himself to be that candidate will depend on how disciplined he runs his campaign for the next year and a half. That’s a long time for Trump to be on his best behavior.
Read MoreDemocrats have been banking on January 6 to carry them to the finish line on election night, but there isn’t enough gas in the tank…because Americans literally can’t afford gas.
Read MoreIf Disney is taking a stance that other adults should be teaching children about sexual orientation and identity, parents should question whether this company can be trusted inside their homes. I have no doubt their employees couldn’t be bothered to read a bill only seven pages long, but the company knows better.
Read MoreYou may have heard a lot of talk from the media about Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. That’s what the opposition named it, and the mainstream media (who claims to not take sides) have had no problem running headline after headline with this language. But anyone who has read the bill knows how absolutely disingenuous such a statement is.
Read MoreIf COVID had a higher mortality rate, was a clear danger to children, or if we weren’t so close to herd immunity, a push for vaccine passports would still meet resistance but it would make more sense. Now? It looks like a malicious power grab.
Read MoreDemocrats have advanced too far in their radical agenda, to place the fate of America in the hands of Republicans who care more about decorum than victory and prioritize donor dollars over the liberties of our children.
Read MoreMany have asked why Musk won’t simply apologize if it was all an honest misunderstanding. And the answer to that is simple: he did nothing wrong. It is not Musk’s responsibility to correct your imagination when his enemies offend you with a blatant smear.
Trump’s victory is a major pendulum swing back toward sanity. Is he a perfect guy? No. Do I love all of his policy prescriptions? No. But Biden and the Democratic establishment have been the threat he now warns Americans about. He would have been better off delivering his address to a mirror rather than a camera.
The ideology necessary to keep abortion legal extends beyond the doctor’s office, and it’s deeper, more dangerous, and more unjust than most Americans can imagine.
Harris was not simply a person from the other side of the aisle with whom I disagreed. Her professional career is littered with detestable behavior to obtain and maintain power so that she can implement detestable and incompetent policies.
The media and many Democrats have bought the hype of Trump being a dictator, but their fictionalized worldview of Donald Trump didn’t materialize outside the borders of their delusional minds.
Since election day, I have read and heard hot takes from Democrat operatives trying to explain Vice President Harris’s loss to former (and officially future) President Donald J. Trump. So far, I’m convinced Republicans are destined to rack up more wins because Democrats do not get it.
Many Democrat operatives expect marginalized communities to experience schadenfreude when a powerful man like Trump gets what they think is coming to him. But the reality is that most people want real justice over social or performative justice.
I don’t know what her true religious convictions are, but I believe the Bible when it says you can know a tree by its fruits. She is not pro-choice. She’s pro-abortion. And there is no “separation of church and state” when the state wants to use its power to impose its wickedness onto the church and believers across the country.
“She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story.” After reading this CNN headline, would you guess that Amari Marsh went through early labor—likely due to her chlamydia infection—and was charged because she didn’t remove her live child from the toilet after 911 dispatchers told her to? Probably not.

Alex O’Connor was once asked by a fan why he didn’t talk about Islam and whether it was for personal or safety reasons. “Yeah, well, of course, it is a much less safe thing to do. That is a benefit of Christianity, by the way.”
