  • The Road to a Republican Senate

    Republican chances of winning control of the U.S. Senate improved Wednesday when a Washington Post poll showed Larry Hogan (R., Md.) trouncing his potential Democratic opponents by double digits. The popular former governor, known for his independence and common sense, has been supporting Israel as his Democratic rivals squabble for left-wing votes.

    Why Netanyahu is cozying up to Republicans again

    As he appears to grow more estranged from President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering an old strategy — going around the White House and straight to Republicans in Congress. A close student of U.S. politics, Netanyahu first tried this maneuver in 2015 when he was denied a meeting with then-President Barack Obama and responded by accepting an invite from Republican leaders in the House and the Senate to address a joint session of Congress. His speech railing...

  • On stuttering presidents and Republican bullies

    “Donald Trump mocks Joe Biden’s stutter,” the headlines blare, and I am confronted (again) with (more) proof that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee hates people like me. I don’t remember when they told me I stuttered, but I do remember the banana chips I got as “rewards” in the speech room in my Ohio grade school. I learned tricks that worked well and tricks that didn’t, tricks that I still use to this day, and tricks I’ve long forgotten. I don’t remember if I got picked on for...

  • There never was a Republican House majority

    You might be forgiven for thinking that the Republican Party had a majority in the House of Representatives. After all, it secured slightly more seats than the Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections. But believing that the GOP had a majority in the House would be a mistake. Since the 118th Congress convened in January […]

  • Republicans are protecting your home appliances

    Under the Biden administration’s reign of radical activism, there has been a war on law and order, both at the border and in our communities. There has been a war on American energy independence. There has been a war on life and religious freedom. There has been a war on our Constitution. And there has […]

  • Donald Trump Says Republican Party Isn't His

    Former President Donald Trump on Sunday attempted to spin a recent electoral analysis in which a strategist suggested that the GOP is "Trump's party."Trump made the comment on Truth Social, his social media platform, in response to a Fox News article that was published Saturday tying into the recent primary elections in Ohio. In the GOP race, businessman Bernie Moreno handily secured the party's nomination for a U.S. Senate race that will see him face off against the long-serving incumbent...

    Why Republicans are so afraid of Social Security and Medicare

    Earlier this week, the Republican Study Committee, the largest GOP caucus in the House of Representatives, released its proposed budget for the coming fiscal year. It includes longtime conservative wish list items like raising the Social Security retirement age for younger Americans, reducing benefits for younger high-income earners, and converting Medicare into a voucher-style “premium support” program. When it comes to Social Security and Medicare, Republicans just can’t help themselves. Even...
