Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), former President Trump’s newly announced running mate, has worked to establish himself as a key surrogate on the world stage promoting Trump’s “America First” global policy in recent years.  Trump’s announcement Monday picking Vance as his vice presidential candidate adds new importance to his foreign policy speeches, interviews and meetings on…

Donald Trump shocked nobody on Monday when he announced J.D. Vance as his running mate. All signs had been pointing toward the Ohio senator in recent weeks, and it’s hardly surprising that he would choose a sycophant and relative neophyte to share the stage with at this week’s Republican convention. Yet the decision does in fact represent a serious departure for Trump, one that ought to raise more concerns about his plans for a potential second term as president.Trump has a singular obsession in life, and that’s to win—at all costs, by any means. If he has to cheat, like...

The Scary Message Trump Sent by Choosing J.D. Vance

In the wake of the horrific attempt to shoot Donald Trump, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen of Axios reported Monday that advisers close to the former president say he “plans to seize his moment by toning down his Trumpiness” and by “dialing up efforts to unite a tinder-box America.” Because Trump has suddenly stared death in the face, the report suggested, he has attained benevolence toward his political foes, which will manifest itself at this week’s GOP convention with a “unifying” display. As Tucker Carlson told Axios: “Getting shot changes a man.”Tell that to Trump himself. Only a few hours...

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

When Senator Mitch McConnell walked out on stage Monday at the Republican National Convention to nominate Donald Trump for president, he instantly got showered with a host of boos. The jeers inside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee were clearly audible as McConnell read out Kentucky’s delegate vote in favor of Donald Trump with a very small smile.Mitch McConnell gets booed at the RNC pic.twitter.com/6bZA4CcLb7— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 15, 2024Did McConnell expect a more favorable response?

Fans of Frisco's Chicken were left reeling as the beloved Peruvian-style eatery announced the closure of all its locations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The chain, known for its delicious food and strong community values, posted a heartfelt note on its doors, informing customers of the devastating news.

Donald Trump’s running mate seems to be reading the same playbook followed by all the Trump surrogates before him. While speaking at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, J.D. Vance appeared to be shilling. Trump businesses. “President Trump obviously is one of the most successful real estate executives in...

J.D. Vance Is Now Shilling Trump Businesses, Because of Course

A Fox News analyst said people would question why exactly Donald Trump had picked J.D. Vance as his running mate, considering his lack of experience and former status as a Never Trump Republican. Vance has talked his fair share of smack about the former president, saying Trump could be “America’s Hitler,” accused him of committing serial sexual assault, and calling him “one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs.” But as Trump has amassed more power in the run-up to November, it seems that Vance has finally changed his tune. To many, though, it’s unclear why Trump would want to work...

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

Never mind about Project 2025: A Republican congressman just wants to go back to the good old days of 1960, before “the angry feminist movement” ruined things for men. In a speech on the House floor Thursday, Representative Glenn Grothman railed against government programs such as subsidized childcare, calling out President Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” as taking “the purpose out of the man’s life, because now you have a basket of goodies for the mom.”“They’ve taken the purpose of the man to be part of a family,” Grothman said. “And if we want to get America back to, say, 1960,...

Republican Rep. Goes on Unhinged Rant About Women “Emasculating Men”

Article III of the Constitution, which defines the roles and powers of the court system, says: “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour…”Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking the Framers at their word; this week, she introduced articles of impeachment against both Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.While the Republicans on this Court have engaged in a decades-long steady torrent of corruption—from Chief Justice John Roberts’s wife making over $10 million hustling lawyers into law firms that practice before the Court, to Clarence Thomas’s million-dollar vacations and mother’s rent-free life, Samuel Alito’s paid...

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

The attempt on Donald Trump’s life is obviously a horrendous development. It seems unique because he’s a presidential candidate and one of the most famous people in the world. But in many ways, it’s not. Threats of political violence have increased dramatically in the United States, and support for political violence has risen recently by shocking levels.As I write these words, we don’t know what motivated 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to try to assassinate Trump. All that’s known as of Sunday morning is that he was apparently a registered Republican, but he donated $15 to a progressive voter-turnout group in...

The Trump Shooting: The Most Shocking Act of a Shockingly Violent Age

Regular cable news viewers will know that Lincoln Project consultant Stuart Stevens has been steadfast in arguing that the Democrats should stick with the president. Regular TNR readers will know that most of our columns have argued otherwise. Here, Michael Tomasky asks Stevens to make the case. “I’m just hard-wired that in a campaign, you’re going to have incredibly difficult moments,” Stevens said. “The instinct shouldn’t be to run for the lifeboats. You fix it.” Watch to see what Stevens thinks the Democrats need to emphasize to win, and what he and the Lincoln Project are doing between now and November.

“You Fix It”: Stuart Stevens on Sticking With Joe Biden

Joe Biden had many lucid moments at his Thursday evening
press conference, but the idea that we’re going to judge Biden day by day on
the latest speech or press conference is terrifying, for two reasons. First, it
sets a ludicrously low bar that is bound to favor standing pat with Biden as
the nominee. This is because every one of these appearances is going to be
judged on whether he was better than he was at the June 27 debate, and every
time, the answer to that question is almost certain to be yes, because he can
hardly be worse. But is “He was better than...

Democrats: “He Was Better Than the Debate” Is Not Remotely Good Enough

As dawn breaks on Lara Trump’s Republican National Convention, not every GOP lawmaker is feeling entirely confident in Donald Trump’s ability not to alienate voters. Before the assassination attempt against Trump Saturday, Raw Story asked several Republican lawmakers what they were hoping to get from the convention this week. In many ways, their milquetoast answers stood in sharp contrast to the chaotic candidate they’ve come to back. “Stability. Simple message. Lack of drama,” Representative Don Bacon told Raw Story.“You know, people want stability. They’re tired of chaos and the loud noises on both sides. So if our side and President...

Fearing “Chaos,” Republicans Dread Trump’s RNC Performance

Doral, FL

A new Marist poll takes the novel step of asking registered voters which is more off-putting in an occupant of the Oval Office: dishonesty or excessive age. The results are surprising, and along with other polling along these lines, it should influence how Joe Biden’s and Donald Trump’s relative qualifications for the presidency are covered from here on out.The poll asked: Which is more concerning in a president, someone who doesn’t tell the truth, or someone who might be too old to serve? The results were lopsided: By 68 to 32 percent, respondents were more concerned about the lying than...

Shocker Poll Suggests Trump’s Lying May Be Huge Weakness for Him

The CIA has assessed that the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is coming under increased pressure from his own military commanders to accept a ceasefire deal and end the war with Israel, CIA Director Bill Burns told a closed-door conference on Saturday, according to a source who attended.

Donald Trump’s MAGA followers have become even more sycophantic in the wake of his attempted assassination, with at least one Republican lawmaker outright comparing the convicted felon to Jesus.During a livestream on Sunday, Representative Lauren Boebert directly compared Trump to Christ on the basis that both had been “canceled,” and her belief that their personal sacrifices “for the people” were identical.“This censorship, the silencing of those who speak the truth, is nothing new. Cancel culture is nothing new. You cannot cancel who God has called,” Boebert said. “They tried to cancel Jesus. You can’t cancel God.“Jesus laid down his own...

Lauren Boebert Says Trump Shooting Proves He’s Like Jesus

This year is being touted as an unprecedented year of
elections with consequences across the globe. Hundreds of millions have voted
from India to Indonesia to Mexico. This past month it was the turn of two of
America’s most significant European allies, the U.K. and France, the two Western
states that sit alongside the United States as permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. In November, of course, it is America’s turn. Drawing inferences across political spaces that have their
own political cultures, electoral peculiarities, granular public concerns, and
personalities can be wading in hazardous waters. But a wave has been washing
over the Western democratic political expanse...
