the party was forced to organize a special convention in which hundreds of delegates selected through local caucuses would choose a replacement candidate. The unusual process set off a brief but intense contest among several well known Maine Democrats, including former State Senate President Troy Jackson

The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of the world. Founded upon the core beliefs that our rights are endowed upon us by our Creator, that all of God’s children are created equal, and that the purpose of government is to protect our God-given rights, our nation has stood proudly for 250 years. The structure of our democratic republic has evolved over the years, but the core principle of self governance has never changed.

Graham, who died Saturday at the age of 71 following what his office described as a “brief and sudden illness”, had just secured the Republican nomination for another six-year Senate term earlier this year. His death creates both an immediate vacancy in the Senate and an unexpected vacancy on South Carolina’s November ballot, setting in motion two separate processes that will determine who represents the state for the remainder of his term and who carries the Republican banne

Today, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican remains hospitalized, with few public details available about his condition, raising questions about his health, his legacy, and what his absence could mean for the Senate during the remainder of his final term.

In a blow to Trump’s agenda, the Supreme Court on June 30 delivered one of its most consequential constitutional rulings in decades, reaffirming that nearly everyone born on American soil is entitled to United States citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship.

Jorgensen recently announced the formation of an exploratory committee to evaluate a potential 2028 presidential campaign. While she has not announced her candidacy for president, the first step is forming an exploratory committee to test the waters before going all in. She told American Liberty Media that the decision to take this step now was influenced by changes within the Libertarian Party itself.

Most Americans regard Trotskyism and neoconservatism as ideological opposites. One emerged from the revolutionary Marxist tradition, while the other became one of the most influential currents of American conservatism. Trotsky sought the overthrow of capitalism and the triumph of international socialism. Neoconservatives defended free markets, American power, and liberal democracy. At first glance, the two movements appear to have nothing in common. But after some of my own r

Former Libertarian presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen announced Thursday that she is forming an exploratory committee to consider a run for the Libertarian Party’s 2028 presidential nomination

The results of Tuesday night’s Texas Republican primary runoffs sent a clear message about the direction of the Republican Party in Texas. The conservative grassroots wing of the party won several major races. It overwhelmed much of the traditional establishment wing that had dominated Texas Republican politics for decades.

Washington no longer resembles a constitutional republic so much as the court of a late imperial ruler surrounded by loyalists, grifters, and political enforcers. Under Donald Trump, scandal is no longer hidden in smoke filled rooms. It is performed in public like political theater. Richard Nixon at least understood shame. Trump governs as though ethics laws are obstacles for lesser men. Around him orbit figures who seem pulled from a political fever dream. Kash Patel became

The battle lines in Texas Republican politics are now fully exposed in runoff elections across the state, from the race for the United States Senate all the way down to local county offices. As early voting begins, Republicans are facing a fundamental question about the future of the party and what conservatism in Texas is supposed to mean moving forward. At a recent campaign rally, Congressman Jake Ellzey touted his support for Senator John Cornyn…

The key question is whether recent Republican redistricting efforts merely delay Democratic gains or whether they provide the GOP with a lasting advantage in congressional elections.

The 2026 Indiana Republican primaries delivered a clear and consequential message about the direction of the GOP, as candidates aligned with

The modern West exists in a strange condition of material abundance and spiritual exhaustion. Across Europe the great cathedrals still stand, yet many grow emptier with each passing year. The cities expand, economies continue to function, and technology advances at astonishing speed, yet beneath this apparent prosperity lies a growing sense of civilizational fatigue. Birthrates collapse, loneliness spreads, communities weaken, and the historic memory that once bound European

The Iran war has reshaped the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, drawing in major powers and altering traditional alliances. Amidst this chaos, one nation has quietly positioned itself as a significant beneficiary: China. Despite not being a direct participant in the conflict, China's strategic maneuvering and long-term planning have allowed it to capitalize on the distractions and disruptions created by the war. This article explores how China has emerged as an unsee

A war with Iran would not be merely another Middle Eastern conflict. It would be a warning that the financial order built around the petrodollar is under growing strain. For decades, the United States benefited from a system in which the world’s most important commodity, oil, was priced and traded largely in U.S. dollars. That arrangement helped sustain demand for the dollar, strengthened American financial markets, and reinforced Washington’s global influence. Yet systems of

I wrote this Tuesday April 14th. This week so far has been marked by controversy, President Donald Trump has drawn significant attention for both insulting Pope Leo XIV and posting an AI-generated image depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure with demons in the background. The backlash from both actions has been swift and intense, particularly among religious communities. It appears to me like Trump is beginning to turn against the right-wing evangelicals base that republic

The Jeffrey Epstein files have metastasized into a self-inflicted crisis steadily eroding stability at the heart of President Donald Trump's second term administration. What began as a promised transparency effort has instead triggered high profile departures, mounting bipartisan criticism, and a relentless cycle of damage control with no signs of abating. This festering infection risks creating exactly the kind of chaos I predicted months ago: a constant revolving door of hi
