In Episode 2 of UNSILENT, host Brandon Straka shares an inside looking into New York City's anti-socialist rebellion, including a town hall in Manhattan, with chaos, hecklers, and the plan to victory against Zohran Mamdani.

Social media is buzzing with firsthand accounts of Americans leaving the Democratic Party. Many former Democrats are sharing why they’re making the shift,...

CNN shared a new survey that crushes the narrative that Americans are not happy with the moves by President Donald Trump's administration when it comes to policies on things like crime, the economy, and immigration. In a video posted on X on Monday by our sister site Townhall.com, CNN's data guy Harry Enten had to ask what the heck the Democrats are doing, and the answer is their obstructionist agenda is crushing them, resulting in a massive lead for the Republican party when it comes to MORE: Oh My: Dem Approval Just Hit New All-Time Low Enten pointed out that...

The Democrats are launching a weeklong bid to register voters nationwide, particularly in battleground House districts as their party grapples with increasing numbers of Americans registering as Republicans. The nationwide trends in party registration – detailed in an article published in August by the New York Times – heightened concern that the Democrats’ drubbing in the 2024 election was not the one-off result of a chaotic presidential campaign won by Donald Trump and the Republicans, but rather signs of a broader shift by voters away from Democrats. While the party has in past years left voter-registration efforts in the hands...

Things haven't been going well for Democrats in recent months. President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a landslide and he was given, by voters, GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Those "leading" the Democrat Party are aging seriously. New blood is tainted with extremism, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom's radicalism that doesn't even earn the appreciation of all Democrats, much less a cross-section of all voters. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at the pandemic level. Fundraising is off, and the issues all have lined up against them. Under Trump inflation is declining, jobs are working toward a...

The ghost of the 2024 election continues to haunt Kamala Harris as she revisits her ill-fated decision to put Tim Walz on the ticket. Harris writes in her new memoir that the Minnesota governor was not her “first choice” for vice president, despite the enthusiasm she showed Walz in the days after he was suddenly announced. Many observers speculated that the Democrats’ No. 2 slot became a contest between Walz and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who Harris aides feared would provoke a backlash among pro-Palestinian progressive activists because he is Jewish. But in “107 Days,” the former vice president writes...

The fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk has sparked mockery on social media from some users who referenced the Turning Point USA co-founder's views on gun control. Some of these posts racked up millions of views. Politicians across the political spectrum have condemned Kirk's assassination and offered prayers for his family

The fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk has sparked mockery on social media from some users who referenced the Turning Point USA co-founder's views on gun control. However this craziness from the far left and rejoicing over Kirk's death is driving some Democrats away from the Democratic Party.

Keep your tip-sy to yourself! Gov. Kathy Hochul is in hot water for telling parishioners at a largely black church not to buy booze with their incoming state “inflation refund” checks — with fellow pols slamming her comments as tone-deaf and “demeaning.” “It reduces whole communities to harmful stereotypes and strips away the dignity of parents and children alike,” said her estranged Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, who, along with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), blasted Hochul as racially insensitive. Hochul was speaking about rebate checks — which will be sent to eligible residents starting later this month through November — at...

Democrats’ extremism continues to underwrite Donald Trump’s agenda. Since 2021, this has been the case, and it shows no sign of stopping. Rather than bolstering them as an alternative, Democrats are giving Trump the leverage to pursue his aggressive agenda.President Trump remains divisive. While his job approval and favorability ratings are higher than they were eight years ago, they remain low. According to Real Clear Politics’ August 28 average of national polling, Trump’s approval rating is 45.3%-51.5% for -6.2% net; on August 28, 2017, Trump sat at -16.9%. According to RCP’s polling average of Trump’s favorability, he is 44.3%-52.1%, for...

CBS Chicago CONFIRMS Trump isn’t just targeting criminals in Chicago, he’s planning a massive immigration raid ‼️ “Sources confirm to CBS News that that could include armored trucks, federal troops and ICE agents flooding the city.“ “Breaking news, there is word from Washington that the Trump administration is planning to conduct a major immigration enforcement operation right here in Chicago” Say goodbye to Democrat’s illegal voters in Chicago!

Growing up in the 1960s, I spent many pleasant hours reading comic books — mostly Superman and related characters. There was an odd group of characters called the “Bizarros” in that series. These were monstrous duplicates of individuals from the universe inhabited by Superman and his cohorts. Their defining characteristic, besides their hideous appearance, was that they did everything backwards: Good was bad, ugly was beautiful, and so on.Such is the case with today’s Democrat (they’re not democratic) party. Much has been written on their being on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue. I have previously noted here that...

It has been fully recognized since the November election that the Democratic Party has been hobbled more than a three-legged gelding, but things refuse to improve for that lot. Throughout this year, the party has seen its prospects withering across the board, whether it is in internal operations, public approval, voting efforts, fundraising, or media outreach. And much like the condition of the national media industry, there is no desire exhibited by them to change what is not working. And this week it became even worse. It was announced that the Bill Gates Foundation was suspending its monetary involvement with...

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s California-sized meltdowns are as hilarious as they are revealing. The oily-haired idiot needs to shut up. On Thursday, his constantly moving mouth had him spilling the frijoles on why Democrats hate ICE and why the protection of illegal aliens is so important to their party’s hold on power in the Golden State. Those reasons? Illegal aliens are voting in elections! Hear Newsom yourself. (WATCH)

Less than 1 percent of Democrats say they are satisfied with the direction of the country, according to a new Gallup poll. Why It Matters This is the lowest level of satisfaction among Democrats in at least 25 years, according to Gallup's polling, and it comes at a time when Republican satisfaction is near record high levels. The polling shows that Democrats' satisfaction with the direction of the country quickly dropped after President Donald Trump, a Republican, returned to office in January, while GOP supporters' satisfaction spiked. According to Gallup, 31 percent of Americans currently say they are satisfied with...

The president has barely broken a sweat in coaxing leftists to reveal just who they are.It’s been like taking candy from a baby. President Trump, armed with a thorough understanding of the left’s debilitating and seemingly incurable Trump Derangement Syndrome (the clinical designation is TDS), has been shamelessly and effortlessly baiting his sworn enemies into loudly opposing his many initiatives supported by strong or even overwhelming majorities of the American people. It has almost been too easy.In fact, the president has turned it into an art form. He realizes that all he needs to do to coax leftists into adopting...

Some political tricks are obvious, even to the chumbolones. Like the weak-minded fat man prancing along Chicago’s lakefront at dawn, downtown, telling us that he feels so safe in Chicago he’ll fight President Trump if Trump dares bring the National Guard to Chicago. Violent crime? What violent crime, says the weak-minded fat man to his adoring audience of corrupt corporate journalists who repeat his idiocies even as they protect his massive behind. Democrats are rabidly pro-crime, and I do mean rabid. Hey Gov. Pritzker, if Chicago is so safe why not prance around the West and South Sides at night...

"We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city." Mayor Muriel Bowser says crime rates have decreased significantly since @POTUS' recent deployment of the National Guard, citing an 87% decrease in carjackings between the past 20-day time period and that same time period in 2024.

Democrats are hell-bent on digging in on the wrong side of every 80-20 or even 99-1 issue affecting the American people. Karoline Leavitt is delivering a strong message on one of those issues - crime in big, blue cities such as Washington, D.C., Chicago, or New York City. That message is intended for those who genuinely believe in a resistance party that assures them everything is fine and crime is not a problem. "Nothing to see here. Please disperse," as Leslie Nielsen famously said in the movie "The Naked Gun." The White House press secretary addressed those misinformed souls directly...
