With more candidates jumping into the GOP race last week, decisions on which news outlets get to host the Republican primary debates should be coming soon.

Various Republicans and legal experts have suggested that the recent indictment against former President Donald Trump amounts to an effort by partisans to take the unpopular Democratic president’s top rival — now leading in the polls — out of the 2024 race.

The apparent death by suicide of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski might come as a “who’s that” from younger citizens.

Nevertheless, our Best of Notable Quotables 1996 edition included several sickening examples of journalists
If there’s one constant in the universe, it’s the left’s preternatural ability to see right-wing bogeymen behind every tree and under every bed. No matter the issue, the left absolutely must create drama and danger and raise the specter of violence where none exists. How can they expect us to admire them for their “courage”
Two days after the unsealing of the 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home, ABC’s This Week co-moderator George Stephanopoulos was full of partisan sanctimony.

Is Cornel West, the academic and philosopher who recently announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election via the People’s Party, a “spoiler candidate”?

People use to reverse Associated Press as the gold standard for just-the-facts news. Today, it’s nowhere close to that.

An amendment to a proposed law in California would make a child’s gender choice part of their welfare and punish parents who don’t affirm those decisions.

Between Wednesday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC and NBC’s Today from Thursday, NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff played footsie with fellow California leftist and Governor Gavin Newsom (D), serving as a welcome mat for Newsom to promote a massive gun grab and hint at arresting 2024 Republican presidential candidate and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) if he set
