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 MoreDemocrats have denied, protested, and rioted over election results. I would know. I was at a state ceremony for electors, and I attended the Trump inauguration. There are many things I wish I could change about Trump, and I’m not afraid to voice my anger when he inspires it, but I will not accept the lie that Biden and the progressive agenda are best for the country and the world. It is a bald-faced lie.
Hobby Lobby once had to fight a fine for refusing to create a possibility that would end the survivability of embryos. Now, Cruz and Britt are holding the healthcare of millions hostage if states conclude that the cost of IVF is too many lives of incredibly young children.
“Christ is King” should not be known as an antisemitic phrase, but Christians should be aware that some very hateful people, who believe Hitler was “cool,” are trying to co-opt it. We don’t have to stop proclaiming “Christ is King,” but we should call out the wolves in poorly made sheep costumes.
In the beginning of Pearl’s recap video of the debate, she claims everyone is always trying to sell something and she’s just trying to tell the truth. This is ridiculous. Pearl is selling something: victim culture to men.
Lady Gaga says she feels “very protective in this moment” for not only Dylan but the trans community as a whole, but it’s possible to do that without celebrating a man who was brave enough to slap on some lipstick and portray girlhood as crying too much and buying too many clothes.
They didn’t choose to lose their children. And, yes, they are children because they are progeny. They are human—the same species as their parents—and they were alive. So, why isn’t the pro-choice crowd celebrating accountability against a corporation that allowed their choice to be taken away?
Loss of life is always tragic, especially a young life. But that doesn’t grant the license to lie.
God doesn’t need a PR team to edit him and become more presentable to mankind; we need to seek a greater understanding of God to grasp the fullness of his goodness. The same God in Genesis and Revelation is the same God in the Gospels, and he’s been perfectly loving the entire time, even in demonstrations of his wrath and judgment.
The viral clip of Nikki Haley talking about her experience as a “brown” girl, wasn’t brought up out of nowhere to bash America or gain sympathy. She was asked a question by Dasha Burns and responded. If people on the Right don’t want people to talk about their experiences with racism, they should stop creating racist experiences for them to talk about.
