California’s Republican Party has zero influence over state politics. The Democrats control 60 out of 80 seats in the State Assembly and 30 out of 40 seats in the State Senate and have held every statewide office—Governor, Treasurer, Controller, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction—for nearly two decades. The last time any Republicans won a race for a statewide office was in 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was reelected as governor, and Steve Poizner was elected as the state’s insurance commissioner. Democrats also control every major city, county, school district, and every other public bureaucracy. Republicans are up against a tough coalition…

Family members and friends of Jimmy Lai, a businessman and a pro-democracy newspaper owner in Hong Kong, are holding out hope that he can still be released after his guilty verdict on national security and sedition charges, if President Trump and other world leaders put pressure on Xi Jinping to free him. On Monday, both Trump and British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called for Lai’s release. “I feel so badly. I spoke to President Xi about it, and I asked to consider his release,” Trump said. “He’s not well. He’s an older man, and he’s not well. So, I did…

The Green New Deal era of politics is over. Could it come back at some point? Sure. But right now, it’s dead as a doorknob, and there’s no coming back for the near future. If you’re a Democrat, it’s the end of decades of scaremongering over the future. The problem is simple, though: the future is here, and it demands more energy. The clues that this was the case have been legion for years. But the most prominent example came just this week from one of America’s most iconic car brands: Ford. The company that created the Model-T and helped advance…

President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell that could reshape the fight against drug trafficking, and it’s about time someone called fentanyl what it truly is.On Monday, Trump signed a groundbreaking executive order classifying fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction,” aiming to ramp up efforts against its deadly influx, mostly from China, while honoring troops battling at the southern border, the New York Post reported.  This isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a legal sledgehammer. Under U.S. law, using such a weapon can mean life in prison or even the death penalty. That’s a message to traffickers: America isn’t playing games.…

The Trump administration is realizing the promise in the Declaration and reconciling the sacrifice of the Civil War by enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment. This strikes a blow against DEI, ensuring “equal justice under law.” The Constitution and the Civil Rights Act were rendered insufficient when federal agencies and liberal judges—often under pressure from activists and political appointees—insisted on manipulating outcomes rather than following the law.Eric Holder once stated that when it comes to race, America is a “nation of cowards.” This was because if one attempted an honest conversation about identity politics, they were demonized as racist.
