Former President Trump in an unusual Christmas message on Truth Social called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.” It was one of several Christmas messages on the former president’s preferred social media platform going after President Biden, special counsel Jack Smith and other political opponents throughout […]

Lawyers say Trump is immune from prosecution
Donald Trump was acting within his role as president when he pressed claims about “alleged fraud and irregularity” in the 2020 election, his lawyers told a federal appeals court in arguing that he is immune from prosecution. The attorneys also asserted in a filing late Saturday night that the “historical fallout is tremendous” from the […]
Supreme Court dodges Smith’s Trump request
Steering clear of a political firestorm for now, the Supreme Court said Friday it would not immediately decide the key question of whether Donald Trump has broad immunity for actions he took as president challenging his 2020 election loss. The court denied without comment special counsel Jack Smith’s request asking the justices to circumvent the […]
Biden doubles down on Trump/Hitler comparison
The idea that former President Donald Trump would govern like a fascist is almost as old as his political career itself. The term was used freely by the Left as the former president cracked down on illegal immigration and pursued a “law and order” agenda. Conservatives rejected the label as liberal hysteria after his surprise […]
SCOTUS agrees to appeal that could save Trump
The U.S. Supreme Court has said it will hear an appeal against Capitol riot obstruction charges brought against more than 300 people, including Donald Trump, in a move that could delay the former president’s federal trial. A four-count federal indictment brought against the Republican by Special Counsel Jack Smith accuses him of working to overturn […]
Colorado Supreme Court kicks Trump off ballot
The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday banned former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential election. Those who have argued that Trump should not be on states’ ballots have cited a Civil War-era clause in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that mandates officials who take an oath […]
Trump is pulverizing Biden in election polls
Recent polls show former President Trump leading President Biden in key swing states that will likely decide the 2024 election, indicating Trump is not just the overwhelming favorite to secure the GOP nomination but is in a strong position to recapture the White House less than a year before Election Day. Trump leads Biden in […]
Trump says Biden won’t be Dem Pres nominee
Former President Trump said Tuesday that he doesn’t believe President Biden will be the Democratic Party’s standard bearer in the 2024 presidential election contest. “I personally don’t think he makes it,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a town hall-style event in Davenport, Iowa, on Tuesday. Hannity had cited “strong Democratic voices,” like […]
Is ‘Obamacare’ really saving us money?
Remember Obamacare? The fight is far from over on the future of the Obama-era health insurance overhaul. Republicans are making a list-ditch effort this year to turn the program and the money over to the state. This isn’t full Obamacare repeal, but would make a world of sense because states would be free to experiment […]
Will young voters really pick Trump over Biden?
Until recently, Democrats’ biggest concern about the 2024 youth vote was that millennial and Gen-Z voters were so disappointed with our octogenarian president that they might not turn out in great enough numbers to reelect Joe Biden. Young voters were, after all, the largest and most rapidly growing segment of the Democratic base in the […]
Could Trump really be elected from prison?
Not since Eugene V. Debs campaigned from a prison cell more than a century ago has the United States experienced what might now happen: a prominent candidate with a felony conviction running for president. And never before has that candidate been someone with a real chance of winning. Former President Donald J. Trump has been […]
Trump & NY Judge Engoron Spar In Court
The highly anticipated testimony of former President Trump in his New York civil fraud trial Monday heaved chaotically between defending his business practices and decrying those involved in the case as politically motivated “Trump haters.” Months of bubbling tensions between Trump and New York Judge Arthur Engoron reached a boiling point in the courtroom almost […]
