Griswald: Debate moderators bringing up J6 but not Trump assassination attempt tells you everything about media corruption

By Kylee Griswald | The Federalist Nobody was surprised Tuesday night when the first — and likely only — 2024 presidential debate featured Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris, David Muir, and Linsey Davis. Yet the level of corruption never ceases to amaze, this time in the form of Kamala’s ABC cronies neglecting to bring up the recent attempted murder of their political foe that occurred not two months ago. You’d never know that the former and likely future president was shot in the head 59 days ago. And that it was at the hands of a crazed gunman who was allowed to scale the roof of a building near where President Trump was speaking even after bystanders saw him. And that the building was suspiciously left out of the security perimeter even though it was identified as a potential threat....

Kamala Harris’ Platform Declares War On The Supreme Court

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Kamala Harris has finally released an “issues” page on her campaign website seven weeks after she became the presumptive Democrat nominee — and part of her platform includes waging a war on the Supreme Court. On July 1 the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that a president has “absolute immunity” for “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,” “at least presumptive immunity” for all “official acts,” and “no immunity for unofficial acts.” The decision severely impeded the Biden-Harris administration’s lawfare efforts against former President Donald Trump. “[Harris] will also support common-sense Supreme Court reforms — like requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imp...

‘No politics’ classical school opened by conservative school board rocks Colorado tests

By Joy Pullman | The Federalist A classical charter school that was preserved after Republican-backed candidates took over the local school board just posted the top state test scores in the district. Students at Merit Academy, a 3-year-old K-11 public school that opens its 12th grade in 2025, also posted the best scores among the four districts that families in the Woodland Park exurb of Colorado Springs can choose from under open enrollment. While test scores scratch the surface of student and school academic quality, these do help vindicate Teller County parents dissatisfied with extended school lockdowns, an increase in screen-based schooling, and creeping politicization of taxpayer-provided education. Due to these frustrations, this group of parents started a new public classic...

Democrats want to keep the U.S. border wide open as an electoral strategy

By John Daniel Davidson | The Federalist If you want to know where Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats stand on the border and immigration, a recent exchange between former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Bill Maher tells the tale. Pelosi recently told Maher that she supports a California bill that would give illegal immigrants taxpayer money to buy homes. Maher quipped that Democrats didn’t used to support “free housing” for illegal immigrants, and Pelosi replied, “Well, that’s not free housing. It’s the American Dream being available to more people.” When Maher noted that the California bill would make the American Dream available for the “undocumented,” Pelosi said, “Well, what I would like to do is move them to documented.” READ MORE AT THE FEDERALIST...

‘You got our kids murdered’: Gold Star families lambast Harris for politicizing Trump’s appearance at Arlington Ceremony

By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Vice President Kamala Harris tried to use the plight of the 13 Gold Star families who lost their loved ones during the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal to score political points in her 2024 campaign against former President Donald Trump. Her plot backfired tremendously, however, when several of the family members mourning those murdered during the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate issued statements condemning Harris for politicizing the remnants of a disaster she created. Trump, at the request of the Gold Star families, attended a service at Arlington National Cemetery last week honoring the fallen on the third anniversary of their deaths. According to the families who organized the event, Trump and his team were “respectful” and “lis...

Walz says he lied about going to war because he struggles with grammar

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist Kamala Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for their first semi-substantive interview since Joe Biden’s political wake. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., has made a political career out of “misspeaking.” Why stop now?   The No. 2 on the Democratic Party’s forced dream team campaign ticket, featuring the joyous empty vessel Vice President Kamala Harris, was back to doing what he seems to do best Thursday night. After several weeks of evading actual questions, Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for the first semi-substantive interview of their honeymoon campaign — more than a month after President Joe Biden’s political wake.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Justice: How the left’s neglect of personal health pushed RFK Jr. to leave the Democratic Party

By Tristian Justice | The Federalist The left’s politicization of health and fitness drove would-be leftist voters into a dissident ecosystem receptive to Kennedy’s message. No major presidential candidate ever seemed genuinely concerned about health care in any meaningful manner until Marianne Williamson in 2019, when the self-help author went viral on the Democrats’ debate stage for highlighting the epidemic of chronic disease. “We don’t have a health care system in the United States. We have a sickness care system in the United States,” Williamson said. “We just wait until somebody gets sick, and then we talk about who’s going to pay for the treatment and how they’re going to be treated. What we need to talk about is why so many Americans have unnecessary chronic illnesses...

RFK Jr.’s Speech Focused on American Values, Not Party Lines

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist The reasons Robert Kennedy Jr. gave for limiting his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump aren’t matters of partisanship or policy, but a matter of survival for our constitutional republic. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. excoriated the Democrat Party, U.S. government, and our supposedly free press during his Friday press conference. Kennedy’s announcement that he will remove his name as a candidate for president in swing states and endorses Donald Trump brought cheers from Trump supporters and derision from Democrat die-hards. But what does the alliance between Trump and Kennedy mean to the future of the Republican platform? Properly understood, nothing. Friday’s speech was not about the policies of the Grand Old Party any more than it was about wheth...

Founder of Democrat ‘Dark Money’ Network Seeks to Identify Conservative Donors for a Specific Purpose

By BRIAN HAWKINS | The Federalist In recent years, the activist left has built a network of left-leaning nonprofits to help tilt elections and ballot initiatives in favor of realizing far-left policy outcomes on abortion, gender identity, and DEI, among others. Politico highlighted the Arabella network’s role in the 2018 midterms, describing “an unprecedented gusher of secret money” that was “fueled by massive anonymous donations.” The New York Times noted how, in 2020, left-of-center nonprofits outspent “groups aligned with Republicans” $514 million to $200 million. This surge in spending has brought scrutiny from Republicans in Congress and in the states, particularly around the role of foreign donors to candidate and ballot issue campaigns. Conservative media n...

Dana Bash characterized Democrats as an estrogen-fueled movement uncomfortable with traditional respect for masculinity.

By Tristian Justice | The Federalist Despite the Kamala Harris presidential campaign’s desperate appeal to white male voters with camouflage trucker hats, CNN’s Dana Bash characterized Democrats as an estrogen-fueled political movement uncomfortable with traditional traits of masculinity. Doug Emhoff and Vice-Presidential nominee Tim Walz, Bash said Thursday at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), represent the party’s effort to “put forward male figures” who “can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone-laden, gun-toting type of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan.” “In addition,” Bash said, the party’s representation of masculinity intends to send the message that “it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman.” ...
