The Supreme Court is poised to consider President Trump’s argument that his prosecution should be barred by the doctrine of presidential immunity. Plus, the Supreme Court has announced that it will decide a tremendously important case with huge implications for special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of President Trump on the bogus charges related to January 6th and so-called election interference. It looks to me like there is a very good chance that the Court will rule that one ...

Biden-appointed special counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump on a total of 41 different counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and the mishandling of classified documents. It’s all nonsense and legally baseless, of course. But we now know that, in the course of Smith’s investigations, he issued a search warrant to Twitter seeking vast quantities of information about Americans who interacted with Trump on Twitter. The details are shocking, but one thing is clear: The ...

Republicans lost big in the recent off-year elections in Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Given the disastrous and unpopular presidency of Joe Biden, being a Democrat isn’t exactly a badge of honor right now, so the losses are something of a surprise. Many moderate, preemptive surrender, RINO Republicans are doing what they always do, blaming the losses on the issue of abortion.

On Thursday, one of these cases was up for oral argument ...

Louisiana Representative Mike Johnson has been elected the 56th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Johnson, who received the unanimous backing of the Republican conference, is a strong conservative. He’s definitely a significant improvement over Kevin McCarthy. And there are very promising signs that he’ll be a great Speaker, capable of securing significant victories for the conservative cause. Perhaps the most promising sign is that the Democrats are apoplectic, calling Johnson an...

On Saturday, October 8th, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which Palestinians in the Gaza Strip elected to be their political leadership, launched a wicked, evil, barbaric surprise attack on Israel, slaughtering over 1,300 innocent Israelis as well as 27 American citizens in cold blood. Iran aided and helped plan the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas, and so Iran is every bit as culpable as Hamas. Today, we will look evil in the face and declare it to be exactly that: evil.&nbs...
