Now that the physical and mental infirmity of Joe Biden has been admitted to by those who tried for years to hide the obvious from Americans, speculation still runs rampant about who is really running the country.

Family members of those killed by violent foreign nationals released into the U.S. by the Biden-Harris administration have endorsed President Donald Trump for president.

On October 7, 2023, the Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, along with thousands of “ordinary” Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, invaded Israel. While chanting “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is the greatest”), they tortured, abused, raped, burned and beheaded, murdering more than 1,200 Israelis, including women, children and babies. They also kidnapped more than 240 Israelis to the Gaza […]

The Democratic Party’s recent evolution contrasts sharply with its glory days. Today, the Democrats are losing out among some of the party’s core constituencies, notably those who work with their hands, Latinos, Jews, Asians, and even some African Americans.
