Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the 2020 presidential election was not “stolen” from former President Donald Trump. Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “Unfortunately, last night the former president seemed to be talking in a proud way about the crowd size on January 6. He gave a speech at Mar-a-Lago. He was the keynote speaker at an RNC fundraiser. He talked about Vice President Pence not doing more to stop the election certification, according to reports in the Times and the Post. So he is the best messenger for the party?” Cheney said, “The former...

The most harrowing story I’ve read in The Times in recent days was Miriam Jordan’s account of a car crash last month in Southern California involving a Ford Expedition that had come from Mexico, straight through a breach in the border wall. The Ford was crammed with 25 people when it hit a tractor-trailer rig on Route 115, 110 miles east of San Diego. “Few of the survivors have been able to describe what happened next,” Jordan writes. “The crunch of metal and glass, the bodies flung dozens of feet across the pavement. Twelve people died on the spot, a...

Hundreds of registered Republicans have switched parties or became independents in Central Florida in the week since the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a pro-President Trump mob, elections supervisors say. The number is small compared with the tens of thousands of registered voters for each party. But even that amount of movement is unusual outside of any election or registration deadline, one elections expert said. “It’s probably very rare [to switch],” said Daniel A. Smith, the chair of political science at the University of Florida. “Generally, where we see the changes are from [having] no party affiliation to...

People were willing to die for this man and he just threw them all under the bus' The "MAGA faithful," or "MAGA internet," according to a Friday Politico report, are reportedly turning on President Donald Trump after he appeared to acknowledge his defeat in the 2020 presidential election and called for political peace following Wednesday's siege on the Capitol. n Thursday, Trump said in a video statement that he condemned the violence that took place Wednesday and put out a call for political peace. "A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th," he said. "My focus now turns to...

President Trump's fired 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale is hitting out at the decision to diverge from his 'plan' – while claiming he was one of two de facto campaign managers for Trump's historic 2016 victory. The person he left out in the telling he gave to Fox News in his first post-election interview was Trump's 2016 campaign manager Kellyanne Conway. She was the first woman to helm a successful presidential campaign. 'In '16, people don't like to admit it, I was the semi-quasi campaign manager,' Parscale told Fox host Martha McCallum. He also said he would have been more...

President Trump has floated dropping nuclear bombs into hurricanes to stop them from hitting the United States in meetings with Homeland Security and national security officials, Axios reported Sunday. According to sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum, the suggestions were made during briefings on hurricanes. "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" Trump said at one such White House briefing, a source who was there told Axios. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb...

Speaking in a “Hollywood Reporter in Studio” interview, actor Robert De Niro, who has repeatedly stated his hatred for President Trump, enlarged his target to include Republicans in general, threatening, “We’re not gonna forget” that they supported Trump. De Niro also warned that if the Mueller report didn’t eventually give leftists what they wanted, “There's going to be a lot of mass demonstrations, a lot of protests.” The segment of the interview dealing with Trump started with the interviewer asking De Niro about his performance as Special Counsel Robert Mueller on “Saturday Night Live.” De Niro grandly stated, "I consider...

According to a report from the Washington Examiner, President Donald Trump will prepare an executive order that will unravel Obamacare’s individual mandate. A Republican senator told the Examiner that the executive order resides at the Office of Management and Budget waiting for final approval. President Trump reportedly delayed the executive order after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) pushed to include a repeal of the individual mandate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A White House official pushed back on the Senators’ claims, saying that the Trump administration’s position remains that Congress should resolve the issue of repealing Obamacare. The White...

Conservatives have split into two factions: Never-Trumpers and Always-Trumpers. Never-Trumpers detest President Donald Trump, and Always-Trumpers think he walks on water. According to Allie Stuckey in this “Millennial Moment,” both extremes are exhibiting irrationality when it comes to the president. Some Never-Trumpers, she asserted, are worse than liberals with their sensationalized criticism of the president. She asked why they can’t give him any credit for the good things he’s doing. “You’ve just decided that you hate him so everything he does is automatically wrong,” she said to Never-Trumpers. Always-Trumpers defend Trump even when he’s wrong. Allie wondered how they can...

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at the White House that President Donald Trump asked his national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn to resign in response to an “erosion” of trust between the two. “The issue pure and simple came down to a matter of trust and the president concluded that he no longer had the trust of his national security adviser,” Spicer said during the White House press conference on Tuesday. He also revealed that there was “a series of other questionable instances” that also contributed to the erosion of the president’s trust. Spicer said that Trump...

It is ludicrous to argue that, because the hard Left is primarily responsible for the outbreak of chaos and violence that caused Donald Trump’s Chicago rally to be canceled last night, it is wrong to condemn the thuggery Trump often encourages at his appearances. Trump has encouraged physical battery at his campaign events, even telling supporters he’d pay their legal fees if they get arrested for assaulting dissenters. (See, e.g., Iowa event: ”So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of ‘em, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise...
