Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lifelong, die-hard Democrat, said on Sunday that the Republican Party had become “the party of the common man,” while Democrats had become the party of elites. Kennedy recently suspended his campaign in battleground states, and endorsed former President Donald Trump. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kennedy said: “There’s been an inversion now where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people, of the middle class, and the Democratic Party has become the party of Wall Street, the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, BigAg, Big Tech, the Big Banking Systems

Junior is a Kennedy. Junior holds wacky political views. Junior is an opportunist. Junior cannot keep his pants zipped.

While skeptical initially, I feel that over the past several years, K. doesn’t equivocate or answer just to please the interviewing person. It is a rare “liberal” who learns or changes with time. I think that RFK is one of the few.

The Republican Party has always has been the party of the common man. A rising tide lifts all boats; The dugout canoes of the poor as well as the yachts of the wealthy elite.

Yes, all the big business CEO's, and the US Chamber of Commerce have gone over to the Democrats. They want complete control, and are willing to build a wall around themselves to keep out commoners.

Dont you believe it. Neither party is of the "common man". They are both about looting the nation for their own gain and us common rubes have to lower our standard of living to adjust. 40% of our income is confiscated in taxes. Think that happened without republican votes? We are over 30 trillion in debt; a debt we can never repay. Think that happened without republican votes? Common man. Spare me the phoney Joe Lunchbucket image.

I just read "Mornings on Horseback" by McCollough, which included details of the political scene in New York during the time of Teddy Roosevelt. The corruption was just as bad, but not as well disguised back then. The few decent men who would venture into politics as "reformers" had difficulty moving the needle. But they were usually of the party of Lincoln that ended slavery, and tried to right the wrongs. Democrats have always played dirty and been rewarded for it. One of Teddy's focuses was pure food and drugs. Not much changes.

WASHINGTON — President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies. That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday. “During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware US senator, eight years as vice president of the United States and nearly four years as president, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America’s military experts and advisors and has prioritized politics and his personal legacy over America’s national security interests,”

A group of Hollywood celebrities — including Disney-Marvel star Mark Ruffalo, HBO’s Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali — is claiming that arms exports to Israel are “illegal” as part of their latest push for a ceasefire in Gaza. The stars co-signed a new call to action from the group Artists for Ceasefire that alleges that the shipment of arms to Israel violates U.S. and international law because Israel engages in what it called “grave human rights violations.” Among those alleged violations are “striking schools or hospitals, restricting humanitarian aid, and killing children,” the organization said.

Kamala Harris has already signaled that she is coming for our guns. She called mandatory gun confiscation “a great idea” that she’d do by executive action within her “first 100 days.” [Tweet, video] Top Harris surrogate, far-left Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock, appeared on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday morning to endorse this overt attack on Americans. Despite Democrat water carrier Welker uncharacteristically pushing Warnock for an answer, he did the Democratic politician shuffle and refused to be pinned down to a simple, clear yes or no answer. Kristen Welker: Should she also be, in your opinion, supporting a mandatory gun buyback program?

Hungary is known for its strong national conservative stance on immigration and its common sense approach of putting the country and its people first, not the interests of Brussels, the seat of the EU. As reported by Breitbart, if the EU attempts to force Hungary to absorb so-called “asylum seekers,” they will promptly send them right back to Brussels. In the past, the EU has threatened fines against nations who do not take in “asylum seekers.” As reported by The Gateway Pundit, this is hardly the first time the EU has pressured Hungary simply for standing for its people and protecting its national sovereignty.

The Kamala Harris campaign is just so full of bull, it's hard to believe that any American would fall for the things they are dishing out. They want to claim she represents a "new way forward" -- despite the fact that she's in office now and has been in bed with the decisions for the last three-plus years, that have led to runaway inflation, foreign chaos and failure, and the massive influx at the border. Harris wants to distance herself from Joe Biden's tenure and her own failures. Yet, she also wants to claim that as a success and a reason you should vote for her.

While CNN continues to be a barren wasteland of unwatchable, hopelessly biased content, one voice continues to cry out from the wilderness. Scott Jennings, who seemingly never takes a day off, was back on Saturday to be the lone voice of reason on the left-wing network. Facing off against Van Jones, Jennings was presented with one of the favorite talking points bandied about by Kamala Harris' defenders. According to their assertions, Harris had no real authority as vice president and thus can't be held responsible for any of the Biden administration's litany of disastrous failures both home and aboard. Is that true, though? In a word, no.

It appears that the support for Trump that RFJ Jr. promised from the Independents and disaffected Democrats who previously supported him was not just lip service. Let's back up a tiny bit first. As my colleague Susie Moore wrote on Friday, former Independent 2024 presidential candidate, Bobby Kennedy Jr. has now urged his supporters to vote for Donald Trump in all states, not just the swing states where the former president and his opponent, Kamala Harris, are competitive. This comes on the heels of some small "wins" against a Democrat Party machine that Kennedy knows all too well,

On Friday, the former congresswoman made another endorsement, this time in the U.S. Senate race for Texas. While speaking at an event for the Texas Tribune, Cheney endorsed Rep. Colin Allred, the Democrat running against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in November. "Here in Texas, you guys do have a tremendous, serious candidate running for the United States Senate," Cheney said, referring to Allred. "I'll be working on his behalf."

It is often said in speeches everywhere that America as a nation is unique because she is not a monolithic homogeneous identity but rather an idea. She is rooted in core principles that defied the norms of tyranny and laid out confirmation of divine truths: all men are created equal, certain inalienable rights, and self determination. For the length of time that she has stood as a beacon of hope to the rest of the globe it is the idea that a sovereign America is a place of good and serves as a force for good that has set her apart.

She was charged with “false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.” Francisco agreed to plead guilty to all charges. According to court documents, the illegal immigrant, who has been residing in Alabama, stole the identity of an American citizen in 2011

The Kamala Harris campaign has been actively courting some of the biggest Republican retreads they can find to earn their endorsement.

Authorities said Dallas Erin Humber and Matthew Robert Allison promoted “the collapse of government and the rise of a white ethno-state” and had a global reach, inspiring attacks in Turkey and Slovakia as well as in the U.S. They used Telegram, a messaging app, to spread “target” lists, complete with addresses, and they disseminated how-to videos and manuals for making letter bombs and “dirty bombs” that mixed conventional explosives with radioactive material, according to the federal indictment.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign finally added an 'issues' page to her presidential campaign website - 50 days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and just in time for her pivotal debate with Donald Trump. The 59-year-old Democratic presidential nominee had been unveiling components of her agenda in some policy speeches and campaign announcements, but has faced criticism for not providing an in-depth platform and for only giving one major interview. The new page titled 'A New Way Forward' includes four sections 'Build an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families,' 'Safeguard our Fundamental Freedoms,' 'Ensure Safety and Justice for All,' and
