Having a sitting President call out a single state senator is unusual. Not blaming Trump for the SWATing, but it's proof he has some unhinged followers.

Bill Kristol is not a conservative.
Tucker Carlson is not a conservative.

That’s if the word “conservative” means anything anymore.

I wrote about Des Moines Public Schools’ former leader yesterday and as predicted, we now know more including that the board knew he lied about his doctorate from Morgan State.

Considering how the U.S. House passed a continuing resolution (can we please pass an actual budget bill please) and it’s Senate Democrats who are caving to the extreme left in their party to prevent cloture, it won’t be Republicans who caused a government shutdown. Just sayin…

Not a fan of Secretary Hegseth, but I can’t say there is anything in this article (haven’t watched his speech, just read this article) that I disagree with.

Um, not awesome that local officials released this guy on bail when he was obviously unstable. Glad Feds picked him up.

Shouldn’t have to wonder what his motivation was.

Gee, I wonder what the motivations of someone who shot up an ABC affiliate or someone who kills another saying "Free Palestine" are? 🤔

Erika Kirk: "That young man... I forgive him. I forgive him because it is what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us."

That was beautiful.
