BUTLER COUNTY, Pa.—When President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in front of thousands of rallygoers two years ago, Helen Comperatore saw something no one else did. After shots rang out from a nearby rooftop, wounding then-candidate Trump and two other people, her husband, Corey, shoved her out of harm’s way.

How government fueled a nation of conspiracy theorists

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker They didn’t just lose the narrative. They lost the country. Five years ago, suggesting that COVID-19 may have originated in a laboratory rather than a wet market could earn someone the label “conspiracy theorist.”  Discussing vaccine injuries could result in a post being removed from social media. Questioning prolonged school closures, forced masking, or vaccine mandates often led to accusations of being “anti-science.” Today, many of those once-forbidden discussions have become part of public debate. That doesn’t mean every alternative theory is correct. But it raises an important question. What happens when institutions repeatedly assure the public that they are unquestionably right, only to revise, retreat,...

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Ends Senate Bid After Mounting Controversies

By Nolan D. McCaskill, Richard Cowan and Daniel Trotta | The Daily Signal Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine on Wednesday promised to formally withdraw from the race, after a string of controversies including an accusation of sexual assault plunged one of the most competitive races in the 2026 midterm elections into turmoil.

Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. In the recorded video, Platner repeated his denial of the sexual assault accusation and said the effort to remove him from the ballot was fueled by his effectivene...

Should America reserve its highest offices for natural-born citizens?

By Christine Coleman | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “You shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses, one from among your countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves; you may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your countryman.” — Deuteronomy 17:15 When God brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land, He established clear laws and commandments for their governance. Among them was the explicit requirement that rulers must be chosen from among their own people — no foreigner born outside the nation was permitted to rule over God’s covenant people. This principle was repeatedly tested and its violation brought severe consequences. In 1 Kings 11, King Solomon’s heart was turned away from the Lord through his many foreign wive...

A week before the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence, more than 1,000 people assembled at the nation’s capital to make a declaration of their own: their vision to dismantle America’s founding institutions. “All of US Next250 National Mobilization” protested the Trump administration, debuted new “founding documents,” and re-envisioned America as seen by Marxist revolutionaries. “It’s not just a day, it’s a movement, and it’s been three years in the making,” Saru Jayarman, a co-organizer of Next250, told The Federalist. “This is the time to set the tone for what the next 250 years will be.” Dozens of activist organizations assembled...
