This series is still in its infancy, so I’m learning as I go what works and what doesn’t. It occurred to me as I was preparing Tuesday evening’s edition that I might be approaching it a bit too much as a law nerd — which sort of defeats the purpose, as I’m not putting these…

New York Attorney General Letitia James campaigned for office on one thing and one thing only—”getting” Donald Trump.

A few years back, you might remember, there was some information floating around about how much ammunition was being purchased by various branches of the federal government.

Whenever I hear someone say, “You can’t buy love,” I always tell them, “You’ve clearly never had a puppy.” The relationship between man and dog is unique. Years ago, I had a dog in a million. An English Springer Spaniel of the rangy, leggy, tough field strain, she was a great bird dog and a…

New York is a deep-blue state, by most measures, but as is so often the case, the hinterlands are pretty conservative.

It covers much of the northernmost…

Things did not go well for protesters at Rep.

One of the greatest things about Trump II, Return of MAGA, has been President Trump’s vice presidential pick: J.D. Vance. He’s a lot more involved than most vice presidents, and in every measurable way – intelligence, speaking ability, attitude, competence, and so on – he’s a vast upgrade from his immediate predecessor. Advertisement Granted, that’s…

As we’ve been reporting, Democrats have chosen their political hill to die on, and they’re going all out in supporting illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Trump administration booted from the country and sent to an El Salvadoran prison.  Advertisement Dems in general look pretty deranged spouting off on why…

Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien from El Salvador with ties to MS-13 who was recently returned to his homeland by the Trump administration, even more news surfaces that doesn’t paint the “Maryland man” in a very good light.  Advertisement…

Regrets, they’ve had a few. No, not supporters of President Donald Trump—the media covering him.

While some polls exist asking Democrats who they prefer on their side of the ticket for president in 2028, I’m sure the field will vary massively as those planning a bid begin to pop their heads up. One thing I will say I’m fairly certain of: The nominee for the Democrats will be a man.…

By Seton Motley We have recently heard much about the Fourteenth Amendment with regard to “birthright citizenship.”   The default, dumb U.S. policy for decades has been: A nine-month-pregnant woman can stagger illegally across the border as her water breaks.

“Buckle up.”  Those were the words of U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Tuesday afternoon as she addressed Trump administration officials and lawyers for the now-deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia as the two sides tussle over what should be done with the MS-13-adjacent illegal now residing in El Salvador’s CECOT mega prison.
