Most Americans expect political violence to keep growing in the United States and believe that it is likely a political candidate will be assassinated in the next few years. Widespread pessimism about political violence is a rare, grim point of consensus in a country riven by political and cultural divisions. A majority of Americans, 55 percent, expect political violence to increase, according to a new poll from POLITICO and Public First. That figure underscores just how much the spate of attacks — from the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year to the attempts on President Donald Trump’s...

Six years ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld highly partisan state election maps in North Carolina and Maryland — ruling that federal courts cannot block states from drawing up maps that favor one party over the other — one of the court’s liberal justices issued a warning.“If left unchecked, gerrymanders like the ones here may irreparably damage our system of government,” Associate Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a dissent.Kagan argued that Republicans in North Carolina and Democrats in Maryland — the two examples before the court — had rigged elections in a way that “deprived citizens of the most...

A far-left radical group, Refuse Fascism, is poised to engage in some pretty fascist behaviors in their efforts to undermine democracy and interfere with the operations of the government. According to posts on the group's website, they are planning an insurrection on November 5 in and around Washington, D.C., in an effort to remove President Trump from office. The website reads (emphasis original), "Surround the White House. Surround the Capitol. Surround the illegitimate fascist-packed Supreme Court. Come back again and again. Across the country, refuse to comply. Every person of conscience, millions of us together, grind the machinery of the...

AOC and Mamdani the Commie are ascendant in the leftist cold civil war because the sane have been silenced by fear. It can be quite amusing and disturbing at the same time when someone who has lost the plot openly states that "... we are not the crazy ones. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane." But there she was the other night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself, making that claim. Because it's the same as someone claiming he is patriotic – if you have to speak up and say it, no one believes you are. The...

Despite all the media pseudo savants’s end-of-the-world predictions about the Trump economy falling flat on their faces, MSNBC is still out there banging pots and pans over an incoming Great Depression-era crash. MSNBC The 11th Hour host and economic dunce Stephanie Ruhle brought on CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin October 29 to hawk his new book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History--and How It Shattered a Nation. The book served as a pretext for Ruhle to get Sorkin to draw parallels between the speculative market euphoria of the 1920s before the disastrous October 29, 1929,...

The former White House adviser Katie Miller—mother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephen—walked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: “I’m watching you,” she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It also wasn’t anything new.

Mamdani was filmed repeatedly leading chants of “not on our dime” at the anti-Israel demonstration in Midtown Manhattan back in July 2023. “That’s what we’re calling for. We are calling for it because we know that the days of inconsistency, the days of drawing the lines in Palestine, those days are over,” he told the crowd.

A group of liberals calling themselves no fascism.org has put out a call for 1,000,000 people to surround the white house on November 5 to protest against President Trump and demand his immediate removal from the presidency. I'm pretty sure that I know why they chose November 5... "Remember remember the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and Plot I know of no reason the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot...."

“Nazi bootlickers” are running rampant in Milford, Conn. — and apparently I’m one of them.That is, according to a local Democratic committee member who hurled invective at me and other Republican aldermen at a public meeting this month.The accusation reflected a growing national sickness: The harsh political rhetoric that led to Charlie Kirk’s assassination is eating away at the roots of American politics — our local town councils.

The only upside to living through this dark time is it pushes us to rethink and perhaps totally remake things we once thought immutable. Like the Democratic party. In case you hadn’t noticed, the current Democratic party is dysfunctional, if not dead. Better dysfunctional than a fascist cult like the Trump Republican party. But if there were ever a time when America needed a strong, vibrant Democratic party, it’s now. And we don’t have one. The brightest light in the Democratic party is Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old member of the New York state assembly who has a good chance of...

Antifa terrorists, gang members and rioters are endangering federal officers in American cities.President Trump awarded my friend Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom this month. As a country, we need to honor Charlie’s memory, face some hard facts and take action. Before it’s too late.

Terrorists, gang members and rioters routinely attack federal law-enforcement officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under the Biden administration. Our officers have been shot at...
