Apparently, in Michigan Democrat Party politics, you can never be antisemitic enough. If you support Israel's mere right to exist, you will be excommunicated from polite company. That's not much of an exaggeration. Pux Cider bar in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a longtime Democrat Party hangout, both because its proprietors are lefties and because it happens to be located next door to the Kent County Democrat Party headquarters. It's the sort of place where they hold LGBTQ+ World Cup watch parties or events for Democratic women, such as the one that recently featured Haley Stevens and other Democrat Party women.

The U.S. military said the Strait of Hormuz was open for all commercial vessels to transit, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed that an Iran deal is close. U.S. Central Command said the “southern route of the Strait of Hormuz remains free and open” in a post on X, highlighting that it had assisted more than 1,000 vessels in transiting the waterway despite “unwarranted” Iranian aggression. The southern route passes through Omani territorial waters, rather than the part closer to Iran. The announcement comes as oil prices also fell sharply Tuesday, following remarks by U.S. Treasury Scott Bessent that there

For all the talk out there of supposedly moderate Democrats terrified of the socialist takeover within their party, concerned that extremists will hurt their general election chances, you'd think some in the party would be urging them to tone things down a bit. That doesn't appear to be the case. In a recent NewsNation interview, DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer was asked whether Democratic operatives had been calling on her to rein in the group’s more radical proposals. Proposals she has previously outlined, which include abolishing numerous core institutions

New York State’s continuing quest to kneecap efforts by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in dealing with the illegal alien crisis that former President Joe Biden brought us took a big blow Monday when a federal judge said the state did not have the conditional authority to order a mask ban for federal agents. The ruling did also say, however, that the state could ban masks for its own law enforcement agents and continue to refuse to cooperate with ICE. The agency has argued repeatedly that agents have been subject to violence, threats, and doxing as the Democrats’ anti-ICE rhetoric has maintained a fever

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” former Vice President Mike Pence said it is time for President Donald Trump to “unleash” the military to “finish the job” in Iran. Host Bill Hemmer said, “I want to ask you about Iran. We had a Fox poll that came out about two weeks ago. We asked the question on the ultimate outcome with Iran. The U.S. will reach what good deal, bad deal or no deal. And 48% said no deal. What’s your view?” Pence said, “Well, I have more confidence in President Trump than that. I think the Iranians should be very wary at this moment. Look, I strongly supported

After enduring the malign White House ghosts and the Machiavellian Autopen, President Trump’s transparency sure is refreshing. His Truth Social posts are a major vehicle for promulgating his nearly real-time machinations, and official statements on policy, to anyone who follows. Now, certain potentially market-moving posts will only be timely for paid subscribers, while the general public are initially excluded from this important corner of the public square. Paying customers like financial firms will be alerted to President Trump’s market-moving posts while the common schmuck remains oblivious — perhaps until it is too late to leverage the news.

So New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a solution to the obvious problems of his free government groceries going out the door to speculators and out-of-staters who can buy and can resell the discounted foods at a profit. Here he is: The July 27 exchange, transcribed by Grok and me: Q: How you gonna keep people from taking advantage of that deal basically, and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?

You might be thinking, "Why, of course they did. They are Democrats, after all." But actually, it is more than a little surprising that the California Democratic Party took this stand, because it is stabbing their financial base in the back and a threat to the organized crime ring that is at the heart of the Democratic Party in that state. In other words, they chose ideological fealty to the growing socialist movement in the party over the self-interest of the political class, which ought to surprise you just a bit. Whatever they say, almost everybody in the Establishment is in it for themselves, not to create a socialist utopia.

Politico has dropped a story about Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). It's mostly about how she's doing in Michigan and how she's dealing with the fight between Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) and Abdul El-Sayed for the Democratic nomination for the Senate to replace Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) But there's also a bit suggesting she might be interested in a presidential run. Later, I asked Slotkin about who she might lean on to staff a presidential campaign.  “I think the idea that there would be like a playbook for how to run for president, if you think there is, and you’re just following that playbook, you’re going to lose,

Former Fort Worth U.S. Rep. Kay Granger has died, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a Sunday social media post. She was 83. Granger was the first Republican woman elected to represent Texas in Washington, D.C. She took the seat in 1997 after Democrat Pete Geren retired, defeating Hugh Parmer, and went on to serve Texas’ 12th Congressional District for nearly three decades. Granger was the most senior Republican member of the state’s delegation by the end of her tenure. During this time, she also rose through the ranks to lead the powerful House Appropriations Committee, the first woman from her party to hold that position.

Republican holdouts in the Senate announced Monday morning a deal with the Trump administration to advance attorney general nominee Todd Blanche. Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina had sought concessions from the administration related to its so-called anti-weaponization fund and settlement agreement that limited IRS audits of Donald Trump and his family members. The administration addressed both of those concerns, and the two senators will both vote for Blanche, according to a joint statement. “We are pleased that the Department of Justice has issued a formal order terminating the anti-weaponization fund,”

Did you hear that scraping noise? That's the sound of goalposts being moved. This time, it involves that thing that happens rarely if ever, according to the legacy media, although it sure seems to keep happening. Namely, people voting who shouldn't be. As yet another case of an illegal alien registering to vote and then casting a ballot has emerged, Politico, that bastion of the left-tilted legacy media, has been forced to admit that, yes, there's a problem. You don't say. That’s because Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill disclosed last week that a “software error”
