MACDONALD: The Left’s War On Coal Made Electricity Unaffordable

28 min 7 sec ago

Democrats have flirted with the idea of blaming Republicans for soaring electricity prices.

MARTINEZ: Fulton County, Georgia Validates Trump’s 2020 Integrity Claims

7 hours 28 min ago

If hundreds of thousands of ballots in Georgia’s pivotal 2020 election lacked legally required certification, then calling it “secure” was never a matter of opinion; it was demonstrably false. As President Donald J. Trump asserted during and after the 2020 election, the integrity of that contest was not merely a political talking point but a foundational ... Read more

MOFFETT: Concerning American Liberators, Trump, and Maduro

19 hours 28 min ago

Many of us grew up watching World War II newsreels of heroic Americans vanquishing evil villains and liberating the oppressed. Powerful imagery abounded of ecstatic citizens of Paris or Rome showering our G.I.s with flowers, hugs, kisses, wine, and more. And it wasn’t just the great cities. Countless European towns, villages, and hamlets welcomed their ... Read more

MACDONALD: Minnesota Gonna Need a New Retard

Tue, 2026-01-06 22:00 +0000

That weird-ass, creepy, Marxist, freak Tim Walz has succumbed to the weight of his own incompetence or indifference, or deliberate corruption (you decide), and dropped his re-election bid.

OPINION: American Indians – Separating Truth from Fiction

Tue, 2026-01-06 19:00 +0000

One of the “legacies” of works like Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States is its treatment of Native Americans. People like Zinn accuse explorers and colonists of racial hatred and hostility, resulting in horrific massacres of Native Americans. He portrayed Native American societies as peaceful and environmentally conscious. This has become the mainstream perspective. ... Read more

MACDONALD: A Unique Solution to the Problem of ‘Squatters’

Mon, 2026-01-05 22:00 +0000

One of the glorious joys of free-market capitalism is the ability of individuals to find solutions to problems, especially those the government creates, while tying its own hands to one damn thing to address it.
