Scratch a Democrat, and you’ll find a communist underneath their lizard skin. Last week’s elections in New York City just confirmed what we already knew. The leftists are ascendant, and the alleged moderates — who were also leftists — are very upset. Think of this as like #MeToo. Remember that? That campaign against gropey, rapey people wasn’t really a fight about gropey, rapey people. Democrats like gropey, rapey people. Younger, primarily hard-left women just pretended not to in order to gain a political advantage over older establishment figures within the Democrat universe. #MeToo was simply about younger leftists trying to take power from older leftists.
Inventing Palestine

When I lived in Israel in the early 1960s, I never saw a single “Palestinian.” Not once. Not ever. Why? Because they hadn’t been invented yet. I saw Arabs, as they called themselves, but that was it. I have newspapers from the time to prove it.(Snip)
As I see so many speak about “Palestinians” as though they are a unique people with a unique culture and history and therefore deserving of a state -- taken from Israel -- I must speak up. Because the Palestinian concept did not come about organically. It was created deliberately, with the intent to destroy Israel and Jewish sovereignty.What was the impetus for its invention?
An NBC reporter abruptly pulled her microphone away from a supporter of Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt after he started to discuss in detail what he saw in the city.
During the network’s coverage of Tuesday’s primary elections, NBC’s Liz Kreutz interviewed a group of Pratt supporters about the former reality star possibly making it to the November runoff and asked what about his campaign was resonating with them. When one man mentioned Pratt not wanting “human feces to be a part of your life,” and not wanting homeless children outside, she thanked him and ended the interview.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is facing fresh allegations of having exaggerated his military experience, after a yearlong Spotlight on Maryland investigation yielded “no documentary evidence” to support his claim of having “led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan.”
(Snip) In a May 2022 post on X, Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.”
(Snip) According to the Sun, “Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.”
Why Any Deal with Iran Is a Mistake

There can be no "good" deal with a jihadist regime that openly sponsors terrorism across the Middle East, brutalizes its own people, calls for the destruction of Israel, and continues to chant "Death to America."
Tehran sees diplomacy as a tactical weapon: a means to buy time, get intrusive foreign governments off their back, weaken international opposition, divide Western allies, and secure economic relief -- all while continuing its long-term strategic objectives as fast as the circumstances after President Donald J. Trump's term in office will allow.
Already, Iran has reportedly already restarted much of its ballistic missile production and "could restore significant portions of its offensive
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is offering a six-point plan for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party to win the midterms in November, after the president's big victories Tuesday night.
Gingrich, as a guest Wednesday on the John Solomon Reports" podcast, urged Trump to work on lowering gas prices before Labor Day this September, arguing it's a critical affordability point if the president wants his candidates to do well in November.
(Snip) Gingrich also pushed the White House to compile and promote a list of the "craziest things" that Democrats have done amid the Trump administration, including everything that its leaders have said to try to ensure

President Trump deserves the gratitude of all American patriots. He has singlehandedly stopped the slide towards chaos that Obama and Biden worked so hard to achieve; he was kneecapped in his first administration by disloyal, treasonous bureaucrats and Democrat Party extremists bent on destroying what generations of Americans have built.
Like any other leader, the president is not all-knowing and all-seeing. While most of his supporters enjoy his humor and his readiness to boldly confront our enemies, foreign and domestic, there are times when somebody must speak bluntly to him when he is about to slip on a banana peel. This is one of those times.
Americans across the political spectrum were stunned by Donald Trump’s upset victory in 2016. Pundits, pollsters, and political insiders had largely failed to account for a powerful bloc of supporters who either stayed quiet about their views or were underestimated entirely — the “silent Trump voter.”
Now, a decade later, some are wondering whether that same phenomenon might be happening in the Los Angeles mayoral race.Is there such a thing as the “silent Spencer Pratt voter”?
The growing excitement and online buzz surrounding the former reality-TV star’s campaign has sparked national headlines in the weeks since he turned a candidate debate with Mayor Karen Bass and city council member Nithya Raman
President Donald Trump keeps delivering the border-security promise that helped return him to the White House.
However, when the previous occupant of the Oval Office held the door open for millions, it created several problems.
One of them is where to put 'em?
The DHS wants more detention space because illegal immigrants can't be processed, held, and quickly removed without beds, staff, transportation, and secure facilities. Transforming empty warehouses into detention centers sounds efficient on paper, especially after years of Biden-era border chaos. Then the plan reaches a small town with a water system, sewer capacity, and residents who still expect the faucet to work when they turn the knob.
Real Time with Bill Maehr probably upset liberals over the weekend, with this episode where he went on a fierce attack against Democrats for their usual nonsense: their increasingly extreme stance on Jewish people and Israel. Enough with the ‘you can be critical of Israel and not be antisemitic’—these people are shouting Hamas war cries(Snip)
Israel is the only functioning democracy in the Middle East and a top ally. The reasons for nixing aid and military shipments are illegitimate and frankly, silly talk, with the latest entrants to this position, namely many former Obama officials, merely reacting to their insane activist base that has become totally subservient to terrorist
On May 5, Megyn Kelly said something revealing during an appearance on Next Up with Mark Halperin, while defending Tucker Carlson’s recent posture toward Islam and criticism of Israel.
“I’ve noticed just since I’ve gotten sort of more clear-eyed on Israel that a lot of the anti-Muslim rhetoric that’s put out there originates with people who are very, very pro-Israel who kind of need us to demonize them (Muslims). (Snip)
Megyn, your statement deserves an answer because there is a limit to how much you can gaslight those who have suffered under Islam and Sharia in the service of your anti-Israel rhetoric. And yours truly has reached her limit with

The Supreme Court is expected to rule Tuesday in Trump v. Barbara, a high-stakes challenge to President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order that seeks to restrict automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders. In the event the court rules against Trump, a number of Congressional Republicans have legislation pending that could practically accomplish what a different ruling would have done.
"American citizenship is a priceless privilege that must be protected, not exploited. We must restore integrity to our immigration system, uphold the rule of law, and protect the value of American citizenship for generations to come,"
Justice Clarence Thomas, in a lengthy dissent, took the majority to task for interpreting the Constitution to mean that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States, regardless of the legal status of the parents.
Thomas argued that the ruling “devalues” what it means to be an American citizen.
In a 6-3 decision on Tuesday, the majority held that an executive order President Donald Trump issued on the first day of his second term violated the Constitution. The order directed that only children born on American soil to legal residents are automatically citizens of the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment states, in part, “All persons born or naturalized in
A Paris politician blamed Americans and US air conditioning for the record-breaking heatwave in Europe that has resulted in more than 1,300 excess deaths.
After US tourists mocked France over the lack of air conditioning across the country amid 104 degree temperatures, Audrey Pulvar, deputy mayor of Paris for international relations, claimed the situation was partly America’s fault. “Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room…OMG, this is so rich!” Pulvar wrote on social media.
“As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world,
Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to
I don’t watch much Women’s National Basketball Association games. Apparently, most Americans have not in the past. But there was an incident the other day between two teams, the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever, and the sensation of women’s basketball is 6-foot-tall former Iowa college basketball sensation Caitlin Clark.
And here’s the rub.
She was playing this game, and she was knocked down. Two or three of the Phoenix Mercury team members kind of swarmed her. She almost got a knee in the head, and one player, Alyssa Thomas,
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s contentious attempt to limit citizenship at birth for those born on U.S. soil, delivering a major blow to his agenda. The court, divided 6-3, ruled that the executive order Trump issued Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, was unlawful. Five justices said the order fell foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.
The Supreme Court announced its final opinions of the term today, covering some of the most high-profile issues of the term.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The court rejected President Donald Trump's executive order ending citizenship at birth for people born on U.S. soil. The court ruled that the executive order ran foul of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States.
TRANSGENDER ATHLETES: The high court, in a ruling that combined two cases, upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. Two student athletes in West Virginia and Idaho sued to overturn the bans.
Conservative figures are torching a Supreme Court justice after her vote helped defeat Donald Trump's push to restrict birthright citizenship.
Amy Coney Barrett, taking office in 2020, was the final of three justices appointed by the President during his first term.
But she sided with Chief Justice John Roberts, also a Republican appointee, and the Court's three liberals to overrule the dissent of justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Trump's second appointee, concurred with the judgment but disagreed with the majority's argument.
The court cited the 14th Amendment to hold that 'children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are "subject to the jurisdiction"
Monday on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) claimed Secretary of State Marco Rubio cut off her mic and called her question stupid during a congressional briefing on Iran.
Dean said, “We had a conference call. It was not a classified call with, Secretary Rubio and Mr. Wyckoff. And it was bipartisan members of Congress, a House, members, Republicans, Democrats. Mr. Rubio gave a very brief opening, just talking about the, the shots back and forth over the course of the last four days, then sent it open to questions. We didn’t learn much of anything. I have to be very, very honest with you.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has once again proven herself to be an utter embarrassment to the judicial branch and all those who came before her on the court.
Tuesday saw the Supreme Court rule in a 6-3 decision that President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship conflicts with the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
According to NBC News, Trump’s order, dated Jan. 20, 2025 — his first day in office after being sworn in for his second term — interprets
Far-left House challenger Melat Kiros, a socialist who called both the Oct. 7 and Sept. 11 terror attacks "inevitable," unseated Rep. Diana DeGette, who has represented Denver for nearly 30 years. The result comes on the heels of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's socialist sweep in New York City's congressional primaries and shows that left-wing radicalism is not confined to the East Coast.
Kiros led DeGette by nearly 10 points with 93 percent of the vote counted early Wednesday morning. Her victory comes a week after a slew of socialists, all backed by Mamdani, swept the primaries in the Big Apple. Like in New York, Kiros will almost certainly secure the House seat,
A spate of rulings from the Supreme Court couldn’t be more of a mandate if they were handed down, gift-wrapped, and sealed with a kiss by God: The mass deportation of illegal aliens is legal and imperative if there’s any hope of saving this country.
One ruling declared it within the president’s authority to interpret the word “temporary” as the opposite of “permanent” with regard to migrants who have been permitted to live within the U.S. for what is understood to be a finite period. He can order their removal. (Good!) A separate ruling, on the other hand, affirmed automatic American citizenship to babies born
