Anti-Trump groups determined to disqualify the leading Republican candidate for president are urging state election officials across the U.S. to remove Donald Trump from the ballot, claiming he's an "insurrectionist." They're citing an arcane clause in the 14th Amendment, written after the Civil War, that disqualifies anyone who "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding public office.

According to a just-released Associated Press-NORC Center Survey, more than 7 in 10 Americans – 77% – now say Joe Biden is too old to effectively serve another term as president. That negative view of Biden’s age is held across all age groups – which is actually a good sign for America. This 77% may be the broad-based building block our nation needs to unite in the future.

There wasn’t a single member of the White House press corps in the Reagan, Bush or Trump eras who weren’t adversarial. That’s how it should be – yet there've been dozens of Hunter Biden revelations, with few questions and no follow-ups or independent investigations. No one's even asked why the President’s family set up more LLCs than most small towns have.

For several years top Republican leaders – both here in Texas and across the nation – have urged businesses to move away from being so overtly focused on the so-called Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) topics. Now, a new report provides proof Wall Street firms are starting to change their behavior – and its no stretch to say these developments are something Texas’ Republican legislators can take credit for.

Joe Biden repeatedly lied when he said he knew nothing of son Hunter's influence-peddling businesses. He prevaricated that he had no involvement in Hunter's various shake-down schemes. And, the media continues to misinform by serially ignoring these facts. Had journalists just been honest and independent, then-candidate Joe Biden might have lost a presidential debate – and even the 2020 Election.

Every Republican candidate running against Trump and every Republican leader should band together to sign a letter defending him against this persecution created solely to manipulate the outcome of a presidential election. 

Reality Check: The city is going from "The Big Apple" to "The Shrunken Apple." New York City is losing population massively – some 400,000 fled during 2020 and 2021 – and in 2022 Manhattan was the only borough that didn't lose population. Worse yet, 158 financial firms have moved their headquarters out of New York City since 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion in managed assets with them.

When some monster goes out and kills people it’s a horrible tragedy, no doubt about it. Sadly, it happens all the time and has happened throughout all of human history, starting when Cain killed Abel. In other words, evil exists, always has, and there’s really nothing people can do to squash it. The best we can do is react to it while working to prevent more of its creation. But how we react to it is key, and very telling about some of our species and our politics. 

I know, I know – you can’t imagine that your decision to take out your political opponents by throwing them in jail will bite you in the Asa... This is now a country where we lock up political opponents. I just want to get that out there, and I want you to understand what has changed. And it’s inevitable that very soon, you’re going to realize that YOU are some people’s political opponents too.

On August 23rd, eight Republican candidates for the 2024 Republican Presidential Nomination took the debate stage to discuss various issues, policies, and cultural positions in trying to appeal to voters in the audience and at home. Vivek Ramaswamy stole the night, as his Trumpian positions on topics like foreign policy, economics, culture, and anti-establishment sentiment related to voters like no other candidate during the debate.

If a cognitively and criminally challenged Biden cannot finish his term, we will finally learn the full story of 15 years of Biden family corruption. -- The Bidens will lose the only impediment -- Joe Biden's political machinations -- left in the way of an honest, full-blown felony investigation into what is likely the most corrupt presidential family in American history.

Former President Trump announced Sunday that he would not be participating in the Republican primary debate, opting instead to do a pre-recorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, set to air Wednesday evening as his rivals were duking it out on stage in Milwaukee. The 46-minute conversation has amassed more than 172 million views so far – with about 75 million views coming in just the first 20 minutes.

New York City holds out activist Greta Thunberg as a climate hero and role model, telling kids to "get involved in the global student climate action movement" and "get to know community leaders and register to vote." Everything short of pre-enrolling kindergarteners in the Democratic Party. Parents should be outraged. -- Climate change is the Left's religion. The messaging is as heavy-handed as catechism in a religious school.

The United States is witnessing a devastating epidemic unfold – and it's silently claiming the lives of 1,000s of innocent children. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that's 50-to-100 times more potent than morphine, and up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. It has embedded itself in our communities, and has taken a devastating and deathly toll on our young. I call out the media for not having covered this tragedy the way it should.

The city of Chicago might as well not exist to Democrats on the national stage. Yes, that party has ruled the city with an iron fist since 1931, and the dead there has a remarkable turnout rate for elections, but in Washington, DC, the city doesn’t exist. Joe Biden and the swamp gang don’t mention it because they’d have to acknowledge the piles of dead bodies the city racks up annually.

Imagine if the United States treated China the same way it treats us. How would Beijing respond if U.S. biotech company warehouses were discovered in rural America with unsecured vials of deadly Viruses & Pathogens? Would China be angered if an American company had left abandoned COVID, Malaria or HIV Viruses in its facilities? One way to get along with China is to deal with it precisely the way it deals with us. Anything less will lead to even more Chinese contempt.

As 2024 approaches, and victory seems certain over the man they fear and hate the most, Democrats face what looks to be an insoluble dilemma. The Los Angeles Times on Monday became the first major cog in the left’s Propaganda Machine to come out for dumping Kamala Harris and replacing her with a more viable candidate. The people in charge know that Old Joe is only going to get more embarrassing – and that Kamala Harris is even worse.

I really wish Donald Trump would participate in the Republican debate on Wednesday, August 23rd, but the objective observer in me has to say the opposite. Trump joining his competitors on that stage is bad strategy. He should do what is best for his campaign, and in purely strategic terms, Trump debating right now is nuts. He should sit this one out – and here's why.

The New York Fire Department recently reported that there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires there so far this year, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, "There's not a small amount of fire, the vehicle literally explodes." So the same scaremongers on the left who want bans on gas stoves & plastic straws have a surprisingly high pain threshold when it comes to people dying from "green" electric battery fires?

Criminals stole at least $1 trillion from taxpayers during the COVID-19 Pandemic, yet to date President Biden's offered only lip service and modest funding to try to reclaim those funds or punish wrongdoers. Meanwhile, the IRS is hiring an army of agents to shake down middle-class Americans Mr. Biden calls tax avoiders. Despite his claims, the new IRS agents won't be targeting "the rich" – nearly half the audits will hit Americans making $75,000 or less.
