There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there's the United States of America.’ I recall that he said something about red and blue states too. It worked in 2008 for a lot of reasons: Iraq war fatigue, a sloppy McCain effort, a housing crisis that conveniently happened in the last 2 months of the campaign, and a news media deeper in the tank for Obama than the Titanic on the ocean floor. So what happened to the great uniter? Well, a couple of things. Maybe it was all a big “moderate” fake as Larry Elder wrote:

"There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there's the United States of America." Obama did not mean it. He's all about division.

World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder warned that the attack Thursday at a synagogue and Jewish kindergarten just outside of Detroit, Michigan, was not an isolated incident but part of a broader wave of “acts of terror aimed squarely at Western and Judeo-Christian values.” If leaders don’t act quickly, democracy and society as we know it are at risk of total collapse,” Lauder warned. The renowned Jewish leader and billionaire philanthropist noted that the synagogue attack came after Islamic State-inspired suspects threw explosive devices at a protest outside the New York City mayor’s residence over the weekend.

The Florida Senate passed voter ID legislation Thursday, sending the bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk, as the SAVE America Act stalls in the U.S. Senate. SB 1334, a bill to strengthen the verification process for voters’ citizenship status, passed the Sunshine State’s Senate 27-12, fulfilling the prediction of Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia earlier Thursday. The bill had passed the Florida House, 83-21, in February. These new laws will further help protect the ballot box,” Jeremy Redfern, deputy chief of staff to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, told The Daily Signal.
A MAGA Split Over Iran? What MAGA Split? 2 replies

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. There’s a lot of talk about a Make America Great split among Trump supporters, and this originated here in context with the Iranian war. I’m speaking on a Monday, the 10th day of the war. And there’s talk in the air that the MAGA base may desert President Donald Trump because, after all, MAGA’s credo was no optional wars in the Middle East. That came out of a disgust with the 20-year misadventure in Afghanistan and the skedaddle from Kabul that left billions of dollars of weapons, and, of course,

The Trump administration swiftly removed former Miss California USA winner Carrie Prejean Boller from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after officials accused her of attempting to “hijack” a hearing on antisemitism to advance a personal political agenda. The dramatic fallout has quickly turned into a public feud, with Prejean Boller launching a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and members of the commission after her removal. According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.

France tried to bypass the war against Iran, but the conflict found it. Today, a drone swarm attack by Iranian forces against the Iraqi region of Erbil has targeted not only US troops and military assets, but also British, Italian, and French troops and/or bases. When it comes to the French grouping, the attack left a deadly mark, with a soldier killed in that attack against the Iraqi Kurdistan base. An attack killed a French soldier in Erbil in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday.

An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County. The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A. County but when investigators visited the addresses listed, they found no clinics, patients or healthcare workers. Instead they found multiple red flags, including multiple hospices in one building,

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) announced Thursday that he will bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week, where it will likely fail to meet the 60-vote threshold to pass. “It is a package of common sense policies, the kind of common sense policies that should get an automatic yes vote from literally every member of this body,” Thune stated on the Senate floor. The bill requires proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot. Polls show the American people overwhelmingly support nationwide voter ID and proof of citizenship whether black, white,

Dr Aseem Malhotra is fighting for his medical licence after blowing the whistle on the Covid vaccines as he stands accused of undermining trust in the medical profession by questioning vaccination. He has written about his ordeal in the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt. In early 2021, I had no significant safety concerns about the Covid vaccines. I received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine. I appeared on Good Morning Britain, encouraging uptake in high-risk communities. At that stage, based on the published trial data, I believed the benefits outweighed the risks. Six months later, my father suddenly died, aged 73.

The fact that Team Russia and Team USA would be discussing a strategic economic alliance on the issue of energy is not a surprise to those who watched both President Putin and President Trump outline that same content discussion in Alaska last August. However, given the current conflict with Iran and the escalating oil price issue, Russia and the USA discussing Russian oil capacity and U.S. sanctions therein takes on a new angle. It has been obvious that domestic U.S. politics, in combination with the Russia-Ukraine war, has impeded President Trump from organizing a strategic reset with Russia pulling away from historic conflicts.

Rahm Emanuel has no shortage of action plans for Democrats, whom he thinks are poised for success in the fall midterms if they get their message right. The former Obama chief of staff was an instrumental player in 2006, when Democrats flipped control of the House and Senate after 12 years of Republican control — during a different war started by a GOP president Twenty years later, Emanuel — now an unofficial White House hopeful himself — says there are lessons to be learned from that time. And he’s conferring with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on how to put those lessons in play.

An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on U.S. medical tech company Stryker. The company produces a range of medical equipment and technology, and is headquartered in Michigan, NBC News reported. “Stryker is experiencing a global network disruption to our Microsoft environment as a result of a cyber attack. We have no indication of ransomware or malware and believe the incident is contained,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. The cyberattack appears to be the first significant instance of Iran hacking a U.S. company since the war between the countries started last month.

An imam told worshippers at a Twin Cities mosque that Muslims are the “replacement” for those who once held positions of privilege in America, declaring during a sermon that “this is our moment.” Imam Abdul Malik delivered the remarks on Jan. 23 at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, where he urged Muslims in Minnesota to seek positions of influence across American institutions — including mayor, police chief, congressional leadership and even the presidency. “Those that are in opposition to Islam, they’re watching the growth and the development of the Muslim community, and it scares them. You know why? Not because you’re a threat. No,”

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.” Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events. For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada”

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth. “Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”

A ruthless “robbery crew” in Northern California turned a high-end Fremont jewelry store into a smash-and-grab wasteland, escaping with a staggering $1.7 million in merchandise in just over a minute. Shocking surveillance footage released recently by the U.S. Department of Justice shows the precision of the heist, which occurred on June 18, 2025 at Kumar Jewelers in Fremont. Described by authorities as a “mob-style takeover,” the video shows a fleet of vehicles screeching to a halt in front of the storefront, and a crew of nearly two dozen masked suspects in dark hoodies swarming in like a tactical unit. Armed with picks, hammers and carrying backpacks, the chaos that ensued inside

Let me begin by putting all my cards face-up on the table. No one wishes the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo-ID in order to cast a ballot, to become law more than I.[snip] The argument against the SAVE Act is one of the more absurd cases to make, and it has not resonated at all with the American public, regardless of political party. [snip] President Trump said yesterday on the White House lawn that the SAVE Act is probably the most popular piece of legislation he's submitted to Congress, and he's correct.

If you have followed Operation Epic Fury closely, you know why the United States has been blowing up Iran's military power, its leadership, and has allied itself with Israel to devastate the Iranian regime. Yet, according to several polls, Americans aren't sure why Trump initiated the operation, and are mostly unaware of how incredibly successful it has been. Aside from the decapitation strikes' successes, people are led to believe that Iran is doing pretty well out of the war. There were a couple of striking findings in the poll, but the one that stands out is that Americans are confused about why we are at war in the first place.
