CNN’s Harry Enten compares Democrats to Cracker Barrel flop as GOP surges in swing states

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten exposed how badly Democrats are doing in vital swing states on Monday, while lamenting the collapse of their brand, as key voters continue flocking to the Republican Party. Enten initially cited the “Cracker Barrel” rebranding nightmare, which saw the company change their classic logo by removing the “Old Timer” mascot known as Uncle Herschel. The restaurant had a change of heart Tuesday, following pressure from the public and President Donald Trump. Yet that didn’t stop Enten from using the analogy. “The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter, as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers,” he said. “Bad, bad, bad! What are you doin’? ...

Democrats cry “conspiracy” as Trump appoints Heather Honey to DHS election watchdog role

By Shawn Fleetwood | Commentary, The Federalist Election systems expert Heather Honey has been sworn in at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a deputy assistant secretary, leading elections integrity for the Trump Administration, and the left is losing its mind. Honey, a long-time open-source investigator, has spent years analyzing every aspect of how elections are administered, looking for vulnerabilities that leave election systems open to exploitation. Her investigations have led to lawsuits aimed at changing or clarifying election laws in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Maine, and Tennessee, where she helped rewrite election legislation. Honey was the lead investigator on President Trump’s criminal defense team supporting his Jan. ...

Adam Schiff Launches Legal Defense Fund as DOJ Investigation Tightens

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal The man who led the prosecution of President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial is now worried about his own defense. Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, the longtime California congressman and chief impeachment manager against Trump in 2019-20, has launched a legal defense fund amid accusations that he engaged in mortgage fraud for more than a decade. It’s an accusation Schiff denies, but the director of the Federal Home Financing Agency is talking very tough. In a criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi sent in May, FHFA Director William Pulte wrote that Schiff and his wife, Eve, purchased property in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003 that they affirmed would be their “primary residence.” That designation, Pulte wrote, enabled the Schiff...

Trump’s approval soars to 54 percent after Putin summit in Alaska

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart News President Donald Trump’s voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend found that Trump “now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters,” and improved his numbers among black (23.7) and Hispanic voters (47.2). White voters are at a near-record high approval with 64 percent. Over half of independents (50.4) are approving of Trump, while the vast majority of Republicans (92) and 17.9 percent of Democrats said the same.  The poll found that 44 percent of voters disapprove of Trump, giving him a net +10 percent approval rating. The publication’s last poll conducte...

Mail-in ballots on notice: President Trump moves to restore election integrity

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Substack Everything you need to know about a move that, if successful, would transform all we’ve come to learn about American elections in the modern era. Monday morning started off with a bang, as President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to tell us how he really feels about mail-in voting, and what he wants to do about it: Here are the most important segments of his long message: · Looking to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines (presumably the entire electronic elections infrastructure) · Wanting to install a sophisticated paper balloting system that must be hand counted · Demands timely election results · Mail-in voting enables fraud and lengthy delays used to manipulate results · Executive Order coming soon – intended to c...

Trump says America must fix voting system before 2026

By Shane Croucher | Newsweek President Donald Trump said he will issue an executive order to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a move that would spark legal challenges by states. Trump, who has long argued that mail-in ballots and voting machines are vulnerable to election fraud, though evidence of it happening in practice in the U.S. is scant, made the announcement in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Senior Spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson told Newsweek that Trump's promise is "legally baseless" and said it "threatens the voting rights of millions of Americans, including military families and voters abroad." Democrats support mail-in balloting because it wid...

Democrats call EPA rollback of $7B solar grants illegal, but the new law says cancel it

By Thérèse Boudreaux | Daily Signal THE CENTER SQUARE—The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will claw back $7 billion in already earmarked funds from the Solar for All community grants and then eliminate the program, a move that Democrats claim is against the law. “This money was intended for our constituents and communities to help lower energy bills,” Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, D-N.J., stated Friday. “Clawing these funds back isn’t just brazenly illegal—it’s a betrayal by this administration of working families who will now pay higher energy bills just so Republicans can grind their axe against clean energy.” The repeal of the program, however, directly implements orders from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, whic...

Turley: ‘The Reveal’ the public is waking up to—Democrats’ greatest political trick in U.S. history

Jonathan Turley | Commentary, JonathanTurley.org Below is my column in Fox.com on the release of the last declassified material on the origins of the Russian collusion investigation. After the release, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wrote in the New York Times to deny the allegations and insisted that they never relied on the Steele dossier. The column only reaffirmed the level of dishonesty and duplicity that marked their tenures in office. (The Times still printed this claim despite being demonstrably untrue). The documents quote Brennan in overruling career analysts and intervening to include the dossier in the intelligence assessment. Moreover, the column echoes the media spin that the investigation was about ...
