One agency is melting down over Trump’s win

By Matt Vespa | Townhall The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly a place of mourning. Donald Trump won the 2024 election, capping off the greatest political comeback in American history. It’s over. Done. Trumpism is here to stay. The man has defeated the liberal media, the intelligence community, and the Justice Department, and they’re shell-shocked and stunned over this decisive win. Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote. For the top brass at the J. Edgar Hoover Building, it’s likely the end of their tenure at the agency (via Washington Times):  " The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sourc...

Overbeck: Kamala makes women’s lives more dangerous

By Joy Overbeck | Commentary, Townhall Champion of women’s rights uber feminist Kamala Harris has put women’s very lives in danger. As Czarina of the Open Border, she is directly to blame for the body count of American women mounting up across our nation since she and Biden canceled Trump’s previous illegal immigration safeguards and opened the floodgates to over 13,000 illegal migrant convicted murderers and 15,811 illegal migrant convicted rapists now roaming our streets.  Her empathy for illegal criminals instead of Americans has cost many American women and young girls their lives. We don’t know how many because the FBI doesn’t tell us. We do know the names of some of the beautiful, dynamic young women (allegedly) raped and killed by illegals. We know about Laken R...

Schlichter: It’s Election Day. Let’s do this thing

By Kurt Schlichter, Commentary | Townhall This is it. It’s time. We’ve been waiting four years for this chance to take back our country, and tomorrow it happens. This is history in the making, and it is an election people will be reading about in books for the next few centuries. Hopefully, they won’t be reading it in a chapter entitled “The End of America.” Over the last couple of weeks, I wrote columns on the Golden Age that would follow the election of Trump and the unspeakable nightmare that would follow the election of Kamala. That’s the reality, that’s the choice: triumph or tragedy. We are at a fork in the road. Civilizations have come to these forks as long as there have been civilizations, and eventually, every civilization takes the wrong one. We can only hope that America’s t...

The Pentagon fails to send absentee ballots to active military service members

By Sarah Arnold | Townhall Republican lawmakers demand answers from the Pentagon after military service members complained that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day. GOP Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin citing their “grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols” for the U.S. military because they said the absentee ballot stockpile has been “depleted and had not been replenished.” “Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-...

House Republicans Demand Answers on IRS Whistleblower Retaliation

By Rebecca Downs | Townhall The saga of IRS whistleblowers, Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler, remains in the news after all this time. On Friday, the Republican chairman of three House Committees--Rep. James Comer (R-KY) of Oversight and Accountability, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Judiciary, and Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) of Ways and Means--sent a letter to Karen Gorman, the Acting Principal Deputy Special Counsel of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, regarding alleged retaliation against IRS whistleblowers. Their letters comes in response to what the chairmen are referring to as a "stunning development," as Shapley's attorneys have come out with quite the update. As Jennifer Van Laar covered at our sister site of RedState, Shapley dared to speak with ...

How Trump plans to help compensate victims of ‘migrant crime’

By Leah Barkoukis | Townhall Former President Donald Trump announced how he plans to help families affected by “migrant crime” if elected next week.  “Today, I’m announcing that for the first time under my administration we will be seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and drug cartels and we will use those assets to create a compensation fund to provide restitution for the victims of migrant crime and the government will help in the restitution,” Trump said during an address at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday.

A case on ‘transgender care’ for minors is headed to the Supreme Court

By Madeline Leesman | Townhall This month, medical watchdog organization Do No Harm (DNH) launched a first-of-its-kind database revealing the medical facilities that are providing so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. This encompasses irreversible sex reassignment surgery, as Townhall covered. DNH revealed that over 5,000 children in the United States had undergone some form of gender transition surgery. This includes procedures like mastectomies. READ THE FULL STORY AT TOWNHALL

Benson: Kamala Harris sidesteps free speech concerns while advocating for top-down control

By Guy Benson | Commentary, Townhall.com In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented America's divisive politics, arguing that her desire to 'turn the page' is really about "closing the page" -- whatever that means -- on "an era that suggests Americans are divided."  It's true that Americans are divided.  Figures in both major political parties and across the political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including both her and her opponent.  Part of the polarization and acrimony is stoked and fueled for cynical purposes.  But a lot of it is simply a reflection of profound differences on policies and values.  Voters have divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of leaders t...

Overbeck: Will Americans vote for their own survival or choose Trump hatred?

By Joy Overbeck, Commentary | Town Hall I have a bumper sticker on my car that asks, “Had enough? Vote Republican!” That’s really the critical question on which the presidential election hinges. Have voters had enough of crime, unsafe streets, high inflation, the erosion of their savings accounts, unaffordable gas, groceries and homes; have they had enough of the Democrats’ destruction of their way of life and pursuit of happiness?  Put another way, will voters take the rational route of voting for their self-interest and against the ruination of their happiness? Or will they ignore their family’s self-preservation and fall for the rabid pushers of orange man bad Trump Derangement Syndrome? I ask because there’s a bizarre disconnect rearing its head a few weeks before election day. ...

‘Release the memes’: Babylon Bee scores free speech win after Newsom tried to make parody illegal

By Leah Barkoukis | Town Hall Free speech advocates are celebrating after California agreed it would not enforce one of its new censorship laws targeting political satire and parody. The development comes less than a month after Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, on behalf of The Babylon Bee and attorney Kelly Chang Rickert, sued the state over two new laws that aim to censor online content.  “All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, really important right now. Folks, look, think about it. He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education — he means it, this is not a joke. This [is] a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one,” Biden said. "Because one of ...
