Fox News reporter Chad Pergram already listed the monumental obstacles facing Mr. Gaetz, and the actual vote to boot McCarthy…
The second Republican debate has concluded, and the undisputed winner was Donald Trump. The former president declined to attend, and for good reason, it was an unmitigated s**t show. It was the battle of the ‘mid’ because no one on this stage had a shot of usurping Trump from his comfortable lead in the polls.…
It started with the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020 when mobs took to the streets of America to loot, destroy, and kill with the tacit approval of the Democrat elite.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Monday that she is calling in more National Guard members to help with the illegal immigrant crisis in her state.

On Sunday, as Matt covered, The Washington Post/ABC News poll came out, painting a dismal picture for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid. As Guy highlighted, regardless as to if the poll is considered an “outlier,” it’s still noteworthy. And the poll is far from good news for the incumbent president who’s running for reelection, or so he…
During the daily briefing at the White House Thursday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was repeatedly questioned by a number of reporters about the ongoing catastrophe at the U.S. southern border as thousands of illegal immigrants pour into the country with no end in sight. First, she refused to answer questions from Fox News…
Joe Biden gave his pitch to the UN General Assembly yesterday, hoping to keep support for his endless proxy war in Ukraine alive amid declining support for this quagmire. Erosion for more Ukraine aid started in February. By August, a majority of Americans opposed sending more aid to the country that’s been fighting a stalemated war with Russia…
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced a new Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group Tuesday and its 17 members. “Experts Group to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the Office of Counterterrorism Coordinator to support DHS’ vital work to protect our country,” DHS released…
The Texas Senate has acquitted state Attorney General Ken Paxton of all impeachment articles filed against him for corruption and unfitness for office. Though there is bipartisan support for impeachment, votes to convict on each charge did not clear the 21-vote threshold. Republican Sens. Robert Nichols and Kelly Hancock joined all 12 Democrats to vote in favor…
In a recent interview with Townhall, former GOP Rep. Mayra Flores, who is running to reclaim her seat in Texas’ 34th congressional district in 2024, shared how her Mexico-bordering district has been impacted by the Biden administration’s mishandling of the border crisis. “The Mexican cartel is in full control of the southern border,” Flores told…
Just hours after the U.S. House of Representatives returned to the business of the American people following the August recess, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) officially announced that Republicans were opening an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. “We have found that President Biden did lie about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings,”…
Mayor Eric Adams (D) gave a the most dire warning he has ever given about the never-ending influx of processed and released migrants arriving from the U.S.-Mexico border to New York City, saying the strain being placed on the Big Apple will destroy eventual destroy it if the problem is not brought under control. “Let…
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Texas must remove a 1,000-foot floating barrier in the Rio Grande by Sept. 15.

A survey conducted at the end of August by CNN and SSRS Research had more bad news for incumbent President Joe Biden and showed new movement among the GOP primary field in hypothetical general election matchups against the current occupant of the White House. The poll, released on Thursday, tested GOP candidates Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis,…
The conventional wisdom among much of the political class is that nominating Donald Trump would be pretty close to a surefire disaster for the GOP in 2024. Granted, I’ve written multiple times about why I believe putting Trump at the top of the ticket would be a reckless gamble for Republicans, noting Trump’s drag on the party in multiple…
The act of Republican governors sending busloads of illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuary jurisdictions has been a major political success. Yes, Democrats and their media allies have huffed and puffed about how “inhumane” the practice is, muttering angrily about exploiting migrants as political pawns, but so what? Their feigned fury rings hollow because they can’t convincingly articulate why it’s so…
The number of migrant families who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last month set a new record, preliminary data show.

Yet another inflation metric jumped in July, further debunking claims that inflation is in the rear-view mirror and reinforcing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks earlier this month that additional interest rate hikes would be needed. The latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index print released Thursday was in-line with expectations which were higher than…
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) continues to make it clear that he is not playing games with the Biden administration.
