BOOM! Trump Campaign Hits Harris Immediately: ‘Kamala Was In On It’

While today’s announcement caught me by surprise, obviously Team Trump was prepared in advance for this contingency: The Democratic party baton has not officially passed from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, but already, the vice president is facing Republican attacks befitting a presidential front-runner. Only moments after Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection […]

BIDEN DROPS REELECTION BID; THROWS SUPPORT TO VP HARRIS

The elderly dementia patient is withdrawing his candidacy for a second term, but will remain in office as president: President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will end his presidential re-election campaign, bringing an abrupt and humbling conclusion to his half-century-long political career and scrambling the race for the White House just four months before […]

We Probably Can’t Rule Out ‘Arkancide’

Schiff cites concerns within the Democratic base about Biden’s ability to defeat former President Donald […]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! Jury Convicts Corrupt Democrat Senator Menendez

Perhaps the phrase “corrupt Democrat” is redundant: The jury in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and two of his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, found Menendez guilty on all charges after a grueling nine-week complex trial in Manhattan. . . . Jurors deliberated for three days. . . . […]
