Politico reports that two “lines of attack” are emerging. Trump and likeminded Republicans are going the full Fox News Tucker Carlson Frothing Doomspeech route, declaring that Black Lives Matter is a “Marxist” movement, radical plan to “destroy” the police, “destroy” the American family, a conspiracy, an anti-fascist plot, et cetera and so on. Republicans in

There she goes again: Attorney General Tish James last week filed another dubious lawsuit, this one seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association. We’ve had differences with the pro-gun group over the years, but James’ attempt to crush it is clearly a political stunt. She’s hoping it will make her a star on the left

Eye on the economy: Don Rescues US  — Again “President Trump showed once again Saturday that he places America and the American people first when” he used his executive powers to end the congressional gridlock over the next coronavirus relief package, cheers Andy Puzder at FoxNews.com. “Democrats have made it increasingly obvious that they view the

On Thursday, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association for breaking New York charities law — the result of an investigation into the NRA’s finances that began in April 2019.

The New York attorney general’s bid to dissolve the NRA has prompted a heated debate on Twitter with netizens wondering why the state authorities have shied away from probing the Clinton Foundation’s alleged fraud for decades.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James responded to news of the National Rifle Association (NRA) filing a countersuit against her office, and President Trump’s remarks that the NRA should relocate their New York office to a friendlier location, in a Friday afternoon press release. “While President Trump and others have suggested that the NRA

The National Rifle Association, the most dominant gun lobby in the United States, which has wielded its power in Washington for decades, is under fire in New York.

Writing in the Washington Post this Friday, columnist Jennifer Rubin says that minus something dramatic happening, President Trump will most likely lose in 2020. Trump is aware if this possibility as well, and that’s why we see the desperation in his attacks on Joe Biden rising, as evidenced in his recent attack on Biden’s faith.

With all the NRA’s talk about arming for self-defense, it is easy to forget the NRA’s other traditional role–promoting “sportsmen.” This week, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued four current or former NRA executives for “illegal financial conduct,” according to NBC.

New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the National Rifle Association and four individuals, including its chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, on Thursday, seeking to dissolve the gun rights advocacy group and accusing top executives of “years of illegal self-dealings” that funded a “lavish lifestyle.” James said the NRA, a not-for-profit organization, undercut its charitable mission

The Republican Party establishment is biding its time waiting for the moment to reach in and co-opt President Donald Trump’s “America First” movement. They are embedded within the Trump movement, others are outside of it, some have even defected to the Democrats, but they are all ready to reform like the scattered parts of Voltron

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Attack ads in the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Tennessee are clogging TV airwaves with claims about candidates’ positions on guns, education and health care ahead of Thursday’s election for retiring GOP Sen.

Stuart Stevens’ It Was All a Lie is a sustained attack, both jeremiad and confession, on the Republican party he served for 40 years. His is the hand at Belshazzar’s political feast: “All of these immutable truths turned out to be marketing slogans. None of it meant anything. I was the guy working for Bernie

Last week, Donald Trump tweeted that the “Suburban Housewives of America” should read an article. Apparently, he thinks everyone in our country lives in some version of a TV reality show and that the rest of us read as little as he does.

The death of Herman Cain, attributed to the coronavirus, has made Republicans and President Trump face the reality of the pandemic as it hit closer to home than ever before, claiming a prominent conservative ally whose frequently dismissive attitude about taking the threat seriously reflected the hands-off inconsistency of party leaders.

It’s time for the conservative movement to embrace something we’re generally opposed to — divorce. We need to break up with Big Tech, or at least cut their purse strings. We wouldn’t expect the pro-life movement to take funding from Planned Parenthood. The NRA wouldn’t take cash from the gun grabbers. And we wouldn’t sell
