I can imagine the headline here might upset a lot of people – you’re not supposed to call people ugly – but some people are ugly and everyone knows it. I’m not talking exclusively physically, though that’s a big part. A good-looking woman, for example, can be rendered completely unattractive if she’s stupid, or liberal. The thing about liberal women is, they seem to have deliberately chosen to be ugly.

Federal marijuana policy in the U.S. has been broken for more than 50 years. It started in 1970 when a Democrat-controlled Congress passed the "Controlled Substances Act" and established "schedules" classifying drugs based on their potential for abuse and/or medical use. In Texas, lawmakers just overwhelmingly passed legislation to expand the Compassionate Use Program, giving more patients access to cannabis-based treatments.

It's perhaps the most powerful example of Democrats being on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue. It's working against them in increasingly significant ways, and has everyone asking why they would take the position they're taking – while essentially destroying their hopes for any form of rebound in 2026. Some would say it’s rooted in "Trump Derangement Syndrome," but the real reason Democrats hold to their Illegal Immigration position is –  power.

It's being described by the media as an "autopsy" – an examination by Democrats as to why they lost the Presidential Election & Congressional Majority. By choosing such a word, the media and their fellow Democrats appear to believe the party is dead – but since "The Left" doesn't really believe in a Resurrection, what are they to do to re-take the presidency and Congress? After an autopsy, the body is usually buried.

This week, I got a call from the National Republican Congressional Committee. They wanted a donation. For the first time, I let the volunteer on the other end of the line make her case. When she asked me to donate $100, I said to her: “I want you to know that normally, I would hang up on these calls because the Republican Party would get nothing done and often squanders its political capital. However, this is the first time I am planning to donate. You are getting sh—t done!”

Ronald Reagan, who called for the cancelation of scores of programs, couldn't get Congress to end the eternal life-support system. After watching Congress fund even the most inefficient agencies, he famously groused that "the closest thing to immortality on this earth is a government program." But to quote the back-in-vogue poet of the people, Bob Dylan, the times they are a-changin' in Washington.

Parents and students across the country have reason to celebrate after President Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" into law on Independence Day.  For the first time in U.S. history, the federal government established a tax credit to provide scholarship funding for students’ kindergarten through 12th grade education. This marks a historic step toward universal education choice, parent-directed funding, and freedom from failing systems.

We now know – without conjecture or spin – that the so-called “Russia Collusion” narrative of 2016 was a top-down, Obama White House-engineered fabrication. It was a deliberate operation to undermine a Duly Elected President of the United States. This isn't about Donald Trump anymore – if we let this go unanswered, Democrats will try it again in the future. As of today, Declassified Documents now tell us the story.

We don't have to move to Ohio to escape the Mamdani threat. The best remedy is to turn out to vote in November. New Yorkers alarmed by Zohran Mamdani's Marxist convictions, "defund the police" history and anti-Israel rhetoric keep insisting he's impossible to beat with so many candidates splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. The thinking is that with Republican Curtis Sliwa, Mayor Eric Adams and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo all running, Mamdani's victory is inevitable.

Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently has never heard the old adage, "Under-Promise & Over-Deliver." She shouldn’t have hyped the release of materials in the past, and her failure to deliver on the promised Jeffrey Epstein "client list" is, clearly, the Trump White House's first mistake for its widespread and loyal base. But despite the natural questions surrounding the case, the wild conspiracy theories aren’t justified. 

Thank God that attempted assassin Thomas Crooks was unable to kill President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania (PA). It was a turn of the President’s head to view an immigration chart that saved his life. Of course, believers know that it was Divine intervention, as God saved Trump so he could save America. After being shot in the ear, Trump rose to his feet, yelling, “Fight, Fight, Fight.” It was this act of bravery that sealed his presidential victory.

Across the political left, from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to President Donald Trump has lost its collective mind. The House minority leader and now self-styled tough guy, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, poses with a baseball bat to show how dangerous he is in opposing Trump's budget bill. Jeffries harangued Congress for eight hours; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker went on for 25 -- both to no effect.

If you live in Manhattan or Brooklyn – anywhere in New York City – get ready to be socked with higher taxes... and possibly see your home's resale value drop. Business leaders are already doing the math – adding up massive costs of Mamdani's promised universal childcare, transportation & more. The clincher? Mamdani's promised to increase Property Assessments in what he calls "richer and whiter" neighborhoods. Isn't such racism against the law in America?

Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the 4th of July lowers the tax burdens on Families & Businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion dollar tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to celebrate heartily – but expect the U.S. Economy to grow over 3% in the years ahead, which will lighten the burden of our National Debt. Is it the most significant consecutive victory in modern times? It may just be.

Well, it finally passed! On July 3rd, 2025, the Republican Conference got the Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump’s desk. July 4th, Independence Day, and Trump signed off on another set of incredible victories. President Trump campaigned on key conservative priorities, and he has kept those promises, cajoling an erstwhile reluctant GOP Congress to go along. There’s much to celebrate in this legislation.

Every 4th of July, as fireworks burst across the sky, I’m reminded of the promise and possibility that define America. I came to the United States legally, picking cotton & onions in the fields of South Texas — so my story's one of legal immigration, hard work, and a deep love for America that could only happen here. And through faith and determination, I became a Member of Congress. Only in America can a girl from those fields rise to serve her nation in such a way.

Forty years ago, I spent my first Independence Day here in Washington, D.C. My family and I had just arrived in the United States as legal immigrants, carrying all of our possessions in a few suitcases of clothes. I was not even three years old. They willingly traded the comfort of the warm Caribbean for the unknowns of the cold East Coast. But they were inspired to expand the educational horizons for their son and daughter (and later, their second son), and what they hoped would eventually be fulfilling career paths for all of us. 

Democrat Party nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, doesn’t like Jews. Any quick search of his past exposes a long list of coded statements and friends who straight-out say so. On Sunday's "Meet the Press" he was given three chances to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” – and he not only whiffed, he made the problem worse. He’s not uncomfortable with his anti-Jewish hate. If your “principles” allow for bigotry and hatred in some circumstances, it really will allow for them under any circumstances.

This is not what democracy should look like. New York City Democrat Primary voters just elected a Muslim-Indian Democrat-Socialist, who's a trust-fund baby born in Uganda that only became a U.S. Citizen in 2018, that preaches all things anti-White, anti-American, anti-Capitalist, anti-Israel, and anti-Common Sense as their nominee for Mayor. No wonder polling indicates the American Public is fed up with them – and here's the numbers.

Iran had been reduced to an anemic, performance-art missile attack on our base in Qatar -- the last Parthian shot from a terrified regime, desperate for an out -- and a ceasefire. Iran would have been better off not launching such a ceremonial but ultimately humiliating proof of impotence. Even worse for the theocracy, Iran's temporary reprieve came from the now magnanimous but still hated U.S. President Donald Trump.
