Ann Coulter escalated her war of words with Donald Trump, branding the former president a “gigantic p—y” after he referred to the conservative commentator as a “has-been” and a “stone cold loser.” “Trump begged me to come to Bedminster this week, I said only if I could record a substack with him, but the GIGANTIC P—Y is too afraid of me, so instead he did this,” Coulter wrote in a post on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter. *** The firebrand conservative media personality records a video interview show called “Unsafe” that she publishes on subscription-based Substack,...

It is hard to overestimate the damage the Freedom Caucus has done to the fledgling presidency of Donald Trump, and to the country. By blocking the American Health Care Act of 2017, the conservative group has guaranteed that Americans will struggle forward under the burden of Obamacare. In the next few months insurers will announce their premium hikes for the coming year; chances are, given the continuing withdrawal of major companies from the marketplaces and the ongoing failure of the bill to attract enough young and healthy participants, the new rates will not be pretty. Last year premiums went up...

The next time liberals get indignant when we say they care more about criminals than the victims of crime, remember their hysterical weeping over Clayton Lockett. I refer, of course, to the vile rapist-murderer, whose execution last week is getting more press than Chris Christie's bridge scandal. This week we will review some facts about the case that The New York Times edited out of its capacious articles on Lockett. This is the information that was not fit to print. Next week, we'll discuss the death penalty, with particular reference to Clayton Lockett. The main category of facts you won't...

Editorial by John Ziegler Cain 2012 Looks a Lot Like Obama 2008, Except with a VERY Different Outcome 11/2/2011 Much has been written about the almost primal desire among conservatives to find the next Ronald Reagan, or at least someone they can get excited about, when it comes to choosing an opponent for President Obama in 2012. A huge number of Republican primary voters and Tea Party members now consider it almost a betrayal of their sacred honor to “give in” and vote for Mitt Romney, even if the evidence is overwhelming that he would have the best chance to...

Castle sucks, but a vote for O'Donnell is an implicit vote for a self-admitted marxist in the general. Christine O'Donnell is not Marco Rubio or Joe Miller. Who are these weak candidates winning in purple or blue states? We're sweating bullets with Angle in Nevada of all places against the biggest dirtbag in the Senate. If you thought conservative groups have been unfair to O'Donnell and she wins tuesday night, the DSCC is going to turn on her like the Eye of Mordor. I want them to have to worry about which seats to try and defend, while we eviscerate...

Here's Palin on Fiorina: "Please consider that Carly is the conservative who has the potential to beat California's liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, in November. I'm a huge proponent of contested primaries, so I'm glad to see the contest in California's GOP, but I support Carly as she fights through a tough primary against a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no difference to Boxer, one of the most leftwing members of the Senate. Carly needs our support in this crucial election year when we have a real chance of putting an end to the Pelosi/Reid Big...

I’d like to tell you about a Commonsense Conservative running for office in California this year. She grew up in a modest home with a school teacher dad, worked her way through several colleges, and then entered an arena where few women had tread. Through a combination of hard work, perseverance, and common sense, she proved the naysayers wrong to reach the top of her field, where she led with distinction – facing hard truths, making tough decisions, and showing real leadership through a rocky transition period. Where others had failed, her company had weathered the storm and settled on...

Hayworth's support of Bush's big-government polices included voting for the No Child Left Behind Act; the paperwork- and red-tape-friendly (and business-unfriendly) Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the pork-laden 2005 highway bill that included the infamous "bridge to nowhere"; and, most expensive of all, a Medicare drug benefit that created more than $7 trillion in unfunded liabilities. What is more, his support for a monstrosity known as the 527 Reform Act, which was intended to close "loopholes" in McCain/Feingold, and which was arguably worse for conservatives than the original article.

We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened. They don't even notice.

Thank you for giving us blanket amnesty for illegals. Thank you for courageously abandoning our troops. Thank you for handing victory to the terrorists. Thank you for guaranteeing higher taxes. Thank you for guaranteeing no more conservative judges. Thank you for empowering John McCain. Thank you for bringing back universal health care. Thank you for endless investigations. Most of all, I want to thank you for showing complete disregard for the tens of thousands who spilled their blood to give you your right to vote. Your callous, self-serving apathy has guaranteed the government actions that you so bitterly complained about....

I am referring to all you Republicans who stayed home disillusioned that you were hurting Republicans. You did, and not the ones in office, you hurt the rest of us. Because of your stupidity (especially in my state of Pennsylvania) and stubbornness we lost everything. We’ve lost the war, you’ve emboldened the terrorists (who endorsed the party you allowed to take control), dishonored our troops, raised our taxes, granted amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants, ended the border fence, added more liberal judges to the Supreme Court, increased our dependence on middle-east oil, and stuck a nail in the coffin...

This is directed at those so called "conservative" retards who did not vote for their Republican Senators and Representatives in the few close states, or who voted Libertarian or Democrat. I knew a country once. It was called "America". "Libertarians" and Republicans who didn’t vote; YOU ARE TRAITORS to that country and your so called conservative values. It’s that simple. And you just handed America to the Modern American Socialist party. Good job. Well done. GO TO H**L!!! I am so disgusted and ashamed of America right now I can’t even hardly type. I can’t sleep either. I can not...
