Donald Trump has remade the GOP in his image. Once a gadfly whose ideas were widely derided as late as 2016, Trump now dominates his party. This is odd because Trump isn’t particularly ideological. His governing style is transactional and heavily focused on settling scores with his real and imagined opponents. Yet he […]

Border rancher John Ladd says President Donald Trump is “doing everything right.” Ladd’s Arizona ranch shares 10.5 miles with the border of Mexico, and during the four years of the Biden administration, about 50 illegal aliens crossed through Ladd’s property daily, and sometimes that number rose to as many as 200, he told The Daily Signal. “As soon as […]

Other governments are watching to see. The world is watching the United States’ Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with bated breath, though with mixed expectations, whether it’s with hope, curiosity, trepidation, or abject horror.

Much of the consternation surrounding DOGE has been due to Elon Musk’s […]

California Super Lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, has been confirmed as the new head of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. It couldn’t happen to a better person — or a better attorney.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is nuts. I cannot believe she graduated high school, never mind law school. If there’s a crazy cause she’s for it. And her pet project is derailing — and hopefully jailing — Donald Trump. She went after him when he was a candidate and she’s still defying him now. […]

We spent the last four — or more — years seeing an FBI interested in stopping Trump and shackling the GOP. It is so refreshing to see that the FBI is once again committed to catching bad guys, not pursuing a political vendetta for the left. In the best interests of openness and transparency I’ll […]

I’ve written before about how I love Boston. But the pols in charge are something else. They hold Boston out as a “Sanctuary City.” In their minds criminal illegal aliens are off limits to federal officers. And their criminal ways are just how it is. When ICE agents entered a Boston courtroom to arrest an […]
