There are few things more annoying than squishy, desperate for attention former so-called Republicans who insist they are the gatekeepers of what is and is not conservative. You know the types, the people who threw a big hissy fit about how “they didn’t leave the party, the party left them.” The most noise they ever made in their political lives was when they were “quitting the party,” which makes you wonder what they ever did for the cause of conservatism. The answer is nothing. These people are the ex-boyfriends who got dumped, then spent the rest of their lives insisting they actually did the dumping, never really liked the girl,

I have a 40 year old son who is named Matt. I was at his apartment yesterday waiting for maintenance. Under his tv he has a "talking" Trump doll next to his MAGA hat. He owns several Trump/Vance tshirts and hoodies. He is a conservative teacher swimming among liberals and holds his own. He is not a Karen. I'm thinking that Jacko Assho (that's Jack Ass in disguise) would have been a better pick.

Matt? Which Matt? The author had a specific Matt in mind. Guessing the same goes for Karen. Which Karen?

Matt -- as in short for "doormat" -- works for everyone who fits the description. Reason: They permit others -- usually left-leaning women -- to walk all over them. There's a two-letter acronym describing the condition, too, but I think the OPs wouldn't like it mentioned here, so I won't. Obviously there will be exceptions, as in #1.

Despite leftist U.S. District Judge James Boasberg finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court on Wednesday for violating his previous order, Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz believes Boasberg should be the one held in contempt instead “for issuing such a vague order.” Boasberg attempted to block the administration from using the Alien Enemies Act for deporting Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members, but Boasberg never issued a binding order, Dershowitz explained. “He issues an order first orally, in which he talks about bringing the planes back. You can't just bring planes back. That's not easy. That might not be safe.

President Trump on Wednesday found a way around an effort by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who tried to block one of his nominees for a federal prosecutor role in New York. Trump announced his appointment of Jay Clayton as interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, which would circumvent the Senate confirmation process that Schumer intended to block. “I am pleased to announce that Jay Clayton will serve as the Interim United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. During my First Term, Jay served with great distinction as the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and earned the respect of everyone," Trump said.

You might have thought that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) would be back by now after he got rejected from seeing or talking with El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. That would have been smart. But he appears to still be there and still grandstanding. After being told bluntly by the Central American nation's vice president that the senator wasn't going to be able to get in to see Garcia at CECOT, it looks like Van Hollen decided to go there anyway to try to get in. It didn't go well. He says he was stopped by soldiers.

Death row inmates granted clemency by former President Joe Biden sued the Trump administration on Wednesday for ordering their incarceration under the most “oppressive conditions” available. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office that directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure 37 death row inmates were “imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose,” which the lawsuit alleges is unconstitutional. “By categorically condemning Plaintiffs to indefinite incarceration in harsh conditions in response to their receipt of clemency from the previous President, it exceeds the statutory authority granted to the Attorney General and her deputy,

President Trump is delivering on promises not to forget about the people who were largely abandoned by the Biden administration after a catastrophic hurricane destroyed much of Western North Carolina. Major roads were completely wiped out after Hurricane Helene, making rescue efforts in the area even harder. Many North Carolinians who survived the devastating wreckage had to suffer through a cold, wet winter in makeshift homes and relied on local support and the Cajun Army for help … until President Trump took office. Matt Van Swol, a reformed Democrat, has been extensively reporting on the situation in Western N.C. and East Tennessee,

A Georgia thug had to learn the hard way this week that breaking into the home of a military veteran and father is never a wise decision. The ordeal started around 11:30 pm on Monday in Jackson, where 38-year-old Justin Couch’s 15-year-old son was awoken by the sound of his window shattering, as exclusively reported by the Daily Mail. The boy then ran to Couch’s room to wake him up and alert him to what had happened. Couch immediately jumped into action. “I’ve got to protect my kids, that was all that was in my mind,” he recalled to the Daily Mail.

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said Wednesday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle” that Democrats plan to tie up President Donald Trump’s agenda in court until they can win majorities in the midterms and impeach him. Host Laura Ingraham said, “Now, Alex, I think the lawfare, all the collusion among the attorneys general and the Democrat Party officials that they’re now admitting on camera, look, they’ve had some success, you know, in simply delaying Trump’s agenda. So they had to stay on the firing of the probationary workers, the stay on cutting certain grants, transgender inmates. So for them, is a delay a win?

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has endorsed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-MD) trip to El Salvador to ensure that an accused MS-13 gang member illegal alien is “brought back home to Maryland” after he was deported in March. Instead of doing the job his constituents elected him to do in Washington, DC, the left-wing senator has taken time off to go on a trip to El Salvador “to discuss the release” of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who illegally entered the United States and lived in Maryland until his arrest by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE):

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud problems just got even bigger, and may now include the possible breaking of campaign disclosure laws. Questions are now being raised about a foreclosure sale in December 2008 that involved James as a purchaser. Documents show her name appearing on the “Final Foreclosure Accounting” for the purchase of a single-family home at 21 Peters Street in Martinsville, Virginia. Two other names appear on the same document as additional purchasers, Johnsie Finney and Philip Finney. Interestingly, James’s first named is misspelled as “Letitua.” One has to wonder whether this misspelling was intended to make the transaction harder to track.

The recent deportation of MS-13 gang member and Salvadorian citizen Kilmar Ábrego García, whose gang affiliation invalidated his U.S. residency, has drawn attention to the Salvadorian prison where he is now being held. El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) is the brainchild of President Nayib Bukele, who operated on the premise that anyone bearing gang tattoos was likely a member, since non-gang-members with gang tattoos were often killed by gang members. Bukele tasked his police and military forces with rounding up known gang members and domestic terrorists, many of whom are now locked away in this ultra-secure facility. Since the crackdown began in March 2022, El Salvador’s murder rate has dropped

A Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador and held in a notoriously violent prison told a U.S. senator that he was traumatized by the experience. Kilmar Abrego Garcia reported to Sen. Chris Van Hollen during a meeting in El Salvador that he was moved nine days ago from that country's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, to another facility with better conditions. Abrego Garcia said he had been traumatized by his time in CECOT and that he had been taunted by other prisoners. “He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes,” Van Hollen said.

They allege that Spain's traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban. The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.

The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online. Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation. But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.

New York— An emotional former opinion page editor for The New York Times delivered a tearful apology Thursday to Sarah Palin as he testified about a 2017 editorial that she says damaged her reputation. James Bennet testified that he “blew it” when he erroneously wrote that the former Alaska governor’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence before a member of Congress was severely wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona. The Times has acknowledged the editorial was inaccurate but said it quickly corrected the “honest mistake.” Bennet got choked up and teary as he apologized to the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate,
