Gov. Ron DeSantis boasted about his civics initiative on July 7th following complaints that a new teacher training program is driven ideologically by strong “Christian fundamentalist” overtones. Teachers who took the civics training this month told the Miami Herald that it “was very biased” and sought to “propagate particular viewpoints.” One slide used by the trainers says it is a “misconception” that “the founders wanted a strict separation of church and state.” Teachers also questioned how the instructors have framed the history of slavery in the United States and how they have highlighted a conservative legal theory to interpret the…

Democrats are desperate about the prospect of Kamala Harris becoming the 2024 nominee if President Biden does not seek a second term, insiders told the Post. This month, three polls show that more than 50 percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Harris, and that will likely only increase if Republicans take back the House. “Her main problem is not being a woman or mixed race, her problem is she has low ratings just like President Biden,” said Larry Sabato, a politics professor at the University of Virginia. “If Biden were riding sky high, she would be doing relatively…
The Supreme Court allowed Louisiana to use a Republican-drawn congressional map this fall that a federal district judge said would probably diminish the electoral power of the state’s black voters. This could potentially help pave the path for more ‘red wave’ victories in the future. The judges granted a request by the state’s Republican secretary of state to suspend U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick’s order requiring the state to create a second district where African-Americans would have the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. A court of appeals upheld the district court’s decision, but the state legislature declined…
A top Secret Service agent for former President Donald Trump is allegedly ready to testify that a former White House staffer’s testimony on June 29th before the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 is false. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said Trump on the day of the Jan. 6 rally tried to convince the Secret Service to take him to the U.S. Capitol, and that he became furious when they wouldn’t because the area was not secured. Hutchinson said Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel of the armored presidential limousine and…
Renowned Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell is asking the public for help and criticizing soft-on-crime policies after his teenage brother, Christian Caldwell, was killed in Chicago this weekend. Christian, 18, was outside on the morning of June 24th when a black SUV pulled up and three or four men began shooting, Caldwell said.

Governor Glenn Youngkin traveled to New York City last week to meet privately with GOP mega-donors in Manhattan, a move that highlights recent indications that the Republican may be considering a run for president in 2024. The one-day visit, which was not on Youngkin’s public schedule and included three national television interviews, comes as the new governor prepares to headline his first out-of-state political event since taking office. He has also started speaking more often of the needs of all “Americans,” not just “Virginians,” and has subtly changed the way he answers questions as to whether he will seek the…
The actress from “Full House” Jodi Sweetin was shoved by Los Angeles Police Department officers this weekend as she lead a ‘peaceful’ protest onto a busy highway, disrupting the public and causing mayhem. She was protesting a Supreme Court decision that overturned the abortion decisions in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, thereby kicking abortion restrictions back to each of the states – giving each state the power to make their own decision. The partial video, caught by photographer Michael Ade, shows Sweetin being shoved by officers and falling to the ground as she was demonstrating on the…
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) stressed that he was only joking when he made a comment to other senators promising an immigration deal following the gun control deal he has negotiated in the Senate. “The Democrats and their allies in the media really can’t take a joke. There’s no secret amnesty bill,” Cornyn reported to Breitbart News. His office informed Breitbart News that the senator was teasing and that there were no negotiations on immigration and that there are none for the next future. After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called on Cornyn to broker a gun control deal, it…
President Biden faces mounting pressure from critics to resign and he also can’t avoid questions about his age, a fact of life that has worried Democrats assessing whether he could realistically run for office in 2024, when he will turn 81. Conversations that were previously privately whispered are spreading to the public amid anxiety about a potential drubbing for the party in the midterm elections this fall. Biden’s approval ratings have not recovered from a late summer swoon. Inflation is now very high and there are growing concerns about a recession. Some Democrats are wondering aloud if the party needs…
President Joe Biden displayed a card that showed step-by-step instructions for him at a White House meeting with wind industry leaders. The president was immediately mocked on social media because the card appears to tell him when to sit down and who to talk to. Biden, 79, brandished a card depicting instructions beginning with “YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants,” and ending with “YOU depart.” Or others such as “YOU take YOUR seat” and “YOU thank participants.” The card directed Biden to just keep his remarks “brief,” with notes lasting two minutes, and to ask AFL-CIO…
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a lot going for him before his re-election in November. Over $100 million in the bank. An increasing statewide advantage for Republican voters. Overwhelming popularity with the conservative base. What DeSantis doesn’t need or want: the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. According to four people with ties to the governor and former president, DeSantis has not sought a formal endorsement from Trump and has no plans to do so. It’s a strong sign that DeSantis, who was more than four years ago a little-known Northeast Florida congressman, has climbed high into the GOP…

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unlawfully decreased prescription drug reimbursements to hospitals by as much as $1.6 billion annually as part of a program to help poor patients. The ruling, a victory for hospitals serving low-income people, enables these hospitals to seek the funding improperly withheld from the federal government. The reimbursement cuts were ordered by the Trump administration in 2018 and defended in court by the Biden administration. The government argued that the rate reductions would reflect more accurately the cost of purchasing drugs for hospitals and that it was…
In an interview not too long ago, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton excluded a 2024 presidential campaign, saying her entry into the race is “out of the question” and mentioned how the challenge to Joe Biden would have an impact on him, mostly saying it would be too “disruptive.” Speaking to the Financial Times, the former US first lady and senator said she fully expects President Joe Biden to run for re-election in two years. When asked if she might see herself launching a campaign – after she unsuccessfully challenged Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2008 and…

The Federal Reserve launched its biggest campaign against inflation to date on June 15th, raising benchmark interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point in a move that amounts to the most aggressive increase since 1994. Putting an end to weeks of speculation, the Federal Open Market Committee tasked with setting rates raised the level of its benchmark funds rate to a range of 1.5% to 1.75%, the highest since just before the start of the Covid pandemic. Stocks were volatile after the decision but rose when Fed Chairman Powell spoke at his post-meeting press conference. “Clearly, today’s 75 basis…

By a large bipartisan margin the House approved a bill to strengthen security for Supreme Court justices and their families. The move gained further urgency after a man from California allegedly armed with a knife and a handgun was arrested last week outside the Maryland home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. However, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had initially stalled on it, facing immediate backlash and being called an ‘evil woman’ as critics couldn’t believe she took this long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktkyeoUHtQY The bill cleared the House on a 396-27 vote and is now heading to President Joe Biden’s desk for signature.

A few days ago, an ex-FBI special agent criticized Democrats for “politicizing law enforcement” while the nation’s cities fail to report critically important crime data for the past year. The former FBI special agent and former Navy SEAL Jonathan T. Gilliam appeared on “Fox & Friends First” to address the impact of the lack of reporting on the monitoring of violence on city streets. “I try to stay neutral when I look at these things and say that this is a reason or that’s a reason without the politics, but the reality is, and law enforcement is becoming more and…
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a Russia collusion hoaxer, is apparently making moves on his widely reported ambition to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as Speaker of the House if she retires and Democrats are successful in keeping control of the House. Schiff has plans to visit 10 districts this summer, in what Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News reports is “an attempt to feel Dems out about his leadership ambitions and keep seats in the party’s hands.” Sherman adds that “SCHIFF has been having conversation [with Democrats] of late about what the next generation of Dem leaders should look like.
