The Reddest Big State Just Became a Coin Flip.

Ken Paxton buried John Cornyn in May. Sixty-three-eight to thirty-six-two. The establishment lost. The attorney general got the nomination. Texas was supposed to be a layover on the way to holding the Senate. Six weeks out, the layover has a pulse. James Talarico, the Austin lawmaker, the former teacher, the seminarian, is even or a […]

Trump Sent the Cavalry. The Body Count Noticed.

A year ago Memphis was the poster. Highest violent-crime rate in the country in 2024. Highest property-crime rate too. Murder that beat the usual suspects.

Trump Didn’t Buy the Ice. He Bought the Veto.

Friday the President said the United States now has permanent control over security — and “all other needs” — in Greenland. No cost to us. Infinite life. Adversaries never get a base, a garrison, or a sensitive investment without our written say-so. We start building a larger military footprint immediately. Denmark’s prime minister said the […]

He Said the Country Deserved It. Now He Wants a Cut of the Ticket.

Hasan Piker is not a senator. He is not a precinct captain. He is a man with a camera, a chat room, and a talent for saying the thing that makes a normal Democrat hide under the desk. This week he told a reporter that America is worse than al-Qaeda “pound for pound” if you […]

Unassimilated Immigrants Will Make a Failed State in the United States

Democrats Treat a Rule Vote Like Treason. The Other Side Treats It Like Weather.
