Kamala Harris ran a disastrous presidential campaign that cost a billion dollars – but the elites of the Swamp made out like bandits. It sounds like the political version of

The question isn’t how Democrats went off the rails in the 2024 election, but why. Ignoring the two issues that undeniably concerned Americans

Corporate ownership has announced plans to spin MSNBC off from the NBC News tree, further cementing its looming destiny as zombie filler.

President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House armed with a clear-cut mandate from a popular-vote majority to put the interests of the United States first. This places his coming administration on a direct collision course with Republicans in the US Senate who staunchly identify themselves with the “multilateral” worldview of a Western progressive political establishment that finds its current home in America within the Democratic Party.

, but the moral themes of ancient Greek mythology mark the aged permanent political class entrenched today in Washington, DC. A mortal lives and a mortal dies. No amount of secure incumbency can make it otherwise. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are the latest career politicians living out the closing stages of the kind of parable US children once learned in grade school from

As elected Democrats dwell on the deeper meaning to their electoral beatdown, slivers of genuine insight occasionally pop to the surface of what remains a deep sea of denial. Authority imposed from on high was soundly defeated on November 5 by grassroots anger over issues of fundamental concern to average Americans. That's not supposed to happen.

However, with President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House, armed with a sweeping voter mandate for change, could it finally be the time to right the ship before a tipping point is reached?

No, we’re not talking about the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. The now twice failed presidential candidate is publishing a book

A self-anointed coterie of journalists that has forfeited the public's trust with repeated, egregious displays of personal bias is astounded that it can't skate by on credentialism any longer. Where have we seen that before? The gravy train for fact-checkers appears to be grinding to a halt, and all the muttering in the world about “codes of principles” and “identifying truth” won't be able to save another crumbling annex of the big-box media edifice from fading into irrelevance on a CNN or MSNBC scale.

Foreign money, much of it dark, dominates the Swamp. And the big money think tanks are prime examples of this, according to a new report. A January paper issued by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft spells out details of a dirty secret uber-connected establishment organizations – such as the Atlantic Council, Aspen Institute, and the Brookings Institution – don't want Americans to wonder about.
