They call their newsletter “Politico Pro,” but it can sound more like “Politico Promo.” Take reporter Andrew Howard with his embarrassingly unskeptical pitch for funds on Monday, “Anti-Trump former Republicans have a multimillion-dollar plan to save House Democrats.” When you hear the name “Lincoln Project” you should check your pocket to make sure the contents of your wallet are still intact. A co-founder of the Lincoln Project, Steve Schmidt, is back at the political money trough searching for funds using the name of the Save America Movement (SAM). And all they say they need is about $100 million. Anti-Trump former Republicans…

Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uttmeier made public a letter to the American Bar Association (“ABA”) accusing it of violating the First Amendment right to religious freedom when it said a Catholic law school did not meet one of its equal opportunity accreditation standards. The school is Florida’s St. Thomas University College of Law, and the standard is number 205, titled “Non-discrimination and Equal Opportunity.” The ABA’s finding did not specify how St. Thomas fell short. Standard 205 is distinct from the ABA’s standard 206, which requires law schools to commit to diversity ideology to get accredited. The ABA needed to suspend 206 earlier…
During my appearance on The National Security Hour, host Brandon Weichert made the observation that this generation of political activists, in this instance, young conservatives/MAGA, is very different than previous ones. I tended to agree with him about all the Millennial and Gen Z youth, less as a “generational” matter than as a practical matter. The arduous problems faced by today’s youth are well documented: the soaring cost of living, tuition, and housing; the liberty- and prosperity-destroying radical green agenda; the absurdities and prejudicial practices of DEI; distorted gender roles; and putting off marriage and having children due to economic…

I have had enough. I can no longer sit still while the Deep State does its very best to smear Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and have him removed from his post via lies, rumors, propaganda, and innuendo. It feels exactly like version 2.0 of the “Trump/Russia Collusion” disinformation campaign, and it needs to be called out for what it is. Enough. I am here to defend the best Secretary of War/Defense since Caspar Weinberger. What we have seen in the last few weeks is clearly an orchestrated, carefully constructed character assassination campaign against Hegseth. The campaign began in the…
There is growing American hostility to Israel. It all started with the universities, and from there, the younger generations, who are all bought into the groupthink imposed by their professors. Major Islamic interests have flooded American universities with big money and are pressuring administrators, fundraisers, and professors to give a glowing appraisal of the Muslim world and Islam while bashing Israel. But there is a larger problem at work, one that exposes a long-standing failure of the conservative movement: winning the argument by predicting the opposition’s case and refuting it effectively. One can see the political and cultural fallout that…
Predictably, recent bellicose statements by Russian President Putin, including a threat to attack Europe, after spending five hours with special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, were quickly cited by President Trump’s critics as evidence that his efforts to end the bloody 45-month-long war in Ukraine are hopeless. On the other hand, there have been many claims by Trump administration officials in recent weeks that the U.S. has made “tremendous progress” toward a peace deal. These claims came after a new push by Trump’s diplomats to negotiate a comprehensive peace agreement that replicates his 20-point Gaza War peace plan, which…

New details emerged Wednesday that unravel the Washington Post’s explosive “double tap” report accusing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of committing a war crime. The Post reported on Friday that Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” before the strikes on the “suspected drug boats” on September 2, but two men survived the initial strike. According to the report, the mission commander, Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, then ordered a second strike to take the survivors out in compliance with Hegseth’s directive. “The two men were blown apart in the water,” the Post reported. But according to an ABC source familiar…

ABC News’ Mary Bruce pressed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on what exactly the administration’s plan is for millions of Americans whose health insurance rates will likely be spiking at the end of the year.

Two healthcare proposals failed to pass in the Senate on Thursday. One was an extension on Covid-era Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the…
Ryan Lizza’s Part Five landed this week, and his Substack now reads like a middle school cafeteria turned true-crime podcast. Everyone knows everyone, everyone has receipts, and no one can step outside. The new installment brings allegations involving coordinated smears, an FBI report, CAA maneuvering, political operatives, and Tucker Carlson offering shotgun advice. It’s chaotic, tawdry, and disturbingly familiar to anyone who has watched the Beltway “cool kids’’ table operate up close. Lizza frames this as a story about Olivia Nuzzi, RFK Jr., and Trumpworld. What he actually exposes is how a certain class of political journalists really lives: a…
Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over President Donald Trump “jeopardizing” his chances at a Nobel Peace Prize with potential military action in Venezuela. After months of threats and strikes on alleged drug boats — including the September 2 airstrike that left two survivors who were then killed by a second strike — the U.S. seized an oil tanker Wednesday in what has been called a major escalation. At Thursday’s White House press briefing, Doocy asked about the possibility that if Trump did strike within Venezuela, it might scuttle his shot at the prize that has…

The newly elected Democratic socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is the portrait of an ambitious outsider overreaching in a high-stakes institutional game. Anonymous sources from Mamdani’s transition team admitted to Politico that he’s struggling to navigate the treacherous waters of local power politics. His tenure as mayor and his ability to reshape the city in his own image could depend on a single city council race. It was the first test of Mamdani’s newfound political power in the wake of his massive mayoral victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and he failed.

By Wayne Allyn Root Think of all the dangerous criminals in America… America is overrun by murderers, rapists, kidnappers, drug traffickers, MS-13 gangbangers, carjackers, home invaders, armed robbers, perverts and pedophiles.
