Democrat Backed Redistricting Plan Could Flip Three Colorado GOP House Seats

By Michael Braithwaite | Colorado Politics A Democrat-backed proposal to redraw Colorado’s congressional map for the 2028 election could flip three Republican districts. The proposal, introduced by a group called Coloradans for a Level Playing Field, is yet another development in a national redistricting debate after President Donald Trump called to redraw U.S. House districts. An analysis of the proposal in Colorado shows that the redrawn map could lead to flipping three Republican house seats to the Democrats’ column in the 2028 election, including in District 5, which has never voted for a Democratic representative in its long history, according to composite election data. Colorado’s 2021 congressional district map (left) compared to Coloradans for a Leve...

Polling Shows Strong Republican Approval for Trump Early in Second Term

By: Dmitri Bolt | Townhall President Trump has continued to notch major milestones at the outset of his second term, sharply reducing illegal immigration, launching a sweeping deportation campaign, and bringing in the highest tariff revenues in nearly a century. He is also setting a political benchmark: stronger approval within his own party at this stage than President Obama achieved at the same point in his presidency. And this is according to CNN. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2029570941513072694?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL

The Right champions citizens first. The Left fumes at the idea.

By Elle Purnell | Commentary, The Federalist At Tuesday’s State of the Union, Democrats set themselves up as angry foils to basic civics and feel-good American patriotism. In the most made-for-TV of many made-for-TV moments in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, President Donald Trump urged every member of Congress to “stand up and show your support” for the statement: “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Cameras panned to show nearly the entire left-hand side of the chamber awkwardly remaining in their seats. After two minutes of Republican cheering and Democrat scowling, Trump suggested that Democrats should “be ashamed of yourselves,” and the cameras showed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Mogadishu, shouting an...

They Would Not Stand for Americans

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice During the State of the Union, Donald Trump issued a clear and direct statement. “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.” Every Republican in the chamber stood. Not one Democrat did. https://twitter.com/TheRMVoice/status/2026479858017276192 That moment was not theater. It was a stress test. And it revealed something deeply troubling about the state of the Democratic Party at the highest levels of government. Protection of citizens is not a partisan concept. It is the foundational obligation of any legitimate government. The Constitution exists to secure the bless...

America’s real election crisis: A collapse of public trust

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker One of the most corrosive realities in contemporary American electoral politics isn't polarization, misinformation, or even foreign interference. It is something more basic: a majority of Americans no longer trust the integrity of their elections. This is not a fringe belief limited to one party or ideology. According to polling from Rasmussen Reports, ahead of the 2024 presidential election, 62 percent of likely voters were “concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.” This skepticism crosses party lines and has persisted over the years. The pattern is clear: whichever party loses a presidential election claims the winning party cheated. Democrats insisted George W. Bush stole the 20...

Trump Immigration Operation Sets Precedent In Sanctuary Minnesota

By Julio Rosas | Junto Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota is officially coming to an end. Homan explained the conditions on the ground, particularly in the Twin Cities, have met the criteria to no longer need thousands of extra Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents. Many Democrats and leftists are declaring victory. Blackpillers are claiming Trump caved. Both are wrong. What happened in Minnesota over the past six weeks was not primarily a law enforcement operation. It was a political one and it worked. Since day one of the second Trump administration, Homan has stated that if the Department of Homeland Security was not going to be supported in sanctuary cities, then extra personnel a...

Washington Grand Jury Rejects Charges in Dispute Over Military Guidance Video

By Alanna Durkin Richer and Eric Tucker | KDVR WASHINGTON (AP) — A grand jury in Washington refused Tuesday to indict Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Jason Crow, in connection with a video in which they urged U.S. military members to resist “illegal orders,” according to a person familiar with the matter. The Justice Department opened an investigation into the video featuring Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four other Democratic lawmakers urging U.S. service members to follow established military protocols and reject orders they believe to be unlawful. All the lawmakers previously served in the military or at intelligence agencies. Grand jurors in Washington declined to sign off on charges in the latest of a series of rebukes of prosecutors by c...

Why a voter ID filibuster could become a 24/7 GOP campaign ad

By Rachel Bovard | Commentary, The Federalist What if I told you Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has the power and the votes — right now — to save Republicans’ congressional majorities, President Trump’s second-term agenda, and may be the republic itself, all while poleaxing Democrats on the short side of an 84-15 issue? It sounds like fantasy. But like the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend, 2026 is offering up to the GOP a political weapon almost as powerful as Excalibur itself: an extended Democrat talking filibuster of national voter ID legislation. Popular Idea, Toxic Opposition Requiring voters to prove their citizenship is one of the most popular ideas in the country, with 84 percent of Americans supporting and only 15 percent opposed....
