The aftermath of Kamala Harris’ defeat in the 2024 election to Donald Trump has sparked extensive debate over her campaign’s strategies. An area of particular interest has been her choice of running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

According to an excerpt from Harris’ upcoming book, “107 Days,” her ideal running mate was former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Harris…

In a world increasingly divided by ideology, the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, at just 31 years old, poignantly illustrates a critical turning point in American discourse. Yeats’ assertion that “the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity” resonates deeply. Kirk, a fervent advocate for free speech, fell victim not merely to a hatred of his ideas, but to a broader, deeper malaise in how we engage with opposing viewpoints. Kirk’s legacy embodies a time when public argumentation was not a battleground but a platform for persuasion. He built his career on the belief that…
In a display that many would consider typical for today’s politics, Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut took to the House floor this week with a fervent tirade against the Trump administration’s handling of healthcare. DeLauro, who has built a reputation for progressive activism since her election in 1991, didn’t hold back in painting a dire picture of healthcare access for vulnerable seniors. “This bill, it really is a fallacy,” she declared, emphasizing her belief that the Trump administration was endangering essential services. Citing a “continuing resolution” that allegedly undermined healthcare extensions, she claimed, “67 pages of the 91 in…
In a recent encounter that showcased his trademark flair, President Donald Trump confronted reporters following the signing of a significant document that seeks to address the misuse of the H-1B visa program.

In the ongoing battle of ideas, the shifting tactics of political factions reveal much about their true intentions. A recent example is the leftist group that has seemingly adopted the methods of conservative strategist Charlie Kirk and his organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Their latest endeavor, the “Un-F*** America Tour,” blatantly contrasts with TPUSA’s “American Comeback Tour,” showcasing a marked sense of desperation among the left to resonate with young voters. This imitation is not harmless. It carries with it a sense of mockery, and in the case of its leader, Steven Bonnell II—self-styled “Destiny”—there lies an intent to undermine…
