Without it, the safety and security of Americans and law enforcement is at risk, the 380 sheriffs from 40 states argued. “Without border security and immigration reform, more Americans will continue to be victims of crime. Now is…
Gun control might be on everyone’s minds, or at least those in America’s newsrooms, but we have yet another development in the ongoing and increasingly comical investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians.

Let’s start with the good news for Republicans in the latest Fox News national survey, conducted by the network’s respected, bipartisan pollster.

Second, he’s above water…
Conservative student and Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv sat down with CBS Face the Nation today to discuss the March For Our Lives and what could have been done differently to save lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Congress passed a $1.3 trillion omnibus early Friday morning, averting a government shutdown but irking many Republicans in the process. However the legislation, which was supported by GOP leadership, completely ignores the long-term fiscal health of the country—a point discussed by many more than just Sen. Rand Paul this time. “It just boggles my mind that we…
The Democrats are enthused. They’re scoring local-level wins in Trump territory.

The latest major controversy in DC is following a familiar pattern: A development occurs, then is immediately followed by President Trump reacting poorly, coupled with President Trump’s opposition overreaching with misplaced and conspiratorial claims pertaining to Russia. In this case, the development is the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe — who was placed on leave a…
Last February, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott declared war on sanctuary cities. The law not only bars funding to cities who refuse to comply with the new directive, but the governor’s office was looking into ways on how to remove an elected officeholder who refused to comply with the law. That would be the elected sheriffs of…

As regular readers already know — and as millions of Americans have been discovering — the Left lied to the country about the impact of the GOP’s tax reform bill, which every Democrat in Congress voted against.
