While he’s purposefully remained ambiguous about the date and details of a White House run for months, it now appears that former President Donald Trump’s 2024 plans are etched in stone. That’s according to multiple reports – and a strong hint from the man himself. In a recent interview with New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi, Trump strongly implied he had already decided to run. Nuzzi wrote: “Well, in my own mind, I’ve already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore. In my own mind, I’ve already made that decision,” he said.He wouldn’t disclose what he’d decided. Not at first. But…

The producer price index (PPI), the change in prices paid to producers of goods and services, has increased 11.3% since last June. That’s according to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which comes one day after headline inflation hit another four-decade high. (RELATED: Inflation Report Offers Lessons to Fiscally Reckless Politicians) Like yesterday’s consumer price index (CPI) figure, the worse-than-expected numbers underscore the stubborn nature of the current economic malaise. That economic reality will likely push the Biden administration into an even more precarious political position – as the struggling economy remains the public’s biggest concern.…
Two days after Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) appeared on Fox News to question then-unsubstantiated claims that a 10-year-old rape victim had to cross state lines to seek an abortion, authorities in Columbus announced they’d arrested a 27-year-old man for the heinous crime. Gershon Fuentes, 27, confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. Per a source at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Fuentes is a Guatemalan national living in the U.S. illegally. The case was referred to the Columbus Division of Police (CPD) after the 10-year-old’s mother contacted Franklin County Children Services. The mother contacted child services…
Michael Moore is generating headlines after posting his version of a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The filmmaker shared his proposal for a 28th Amendment with his legions of fans Sunday. Even though the Constitution is notoriously difficult to amend, Moore’s plan is notable for other reasons. It further shows that a growing number of Democrats are playing a long game when it comes to guns. The Daily Wire’s Virginia Kruta reports: “The inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe from gun violence and the fear thereof must not be infringed and shall be protected by the Congress and…
If a recent plea to his supporters is any indication, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is worried about his political future. Critics have drawn a straight line between his progressive policies and the county’s unmistakable spike in violent crime. (RELATED: Our Flawed Criminal Justice System) From witnessing the highest number of homicides in 15 years to brazen train robberies, residents find themselves on edge these days. Not to mention furious. The anger isn’t confined to one group or political party, either — as a growing recall effort of Gascón shows. (RELATED: Here Are 15 Crimes Biden’s New US…
Make rifles great again. It’s a simple message, and one that Jerone Davison believes will resonate with Republicans and undecided voters worried about crime. A conservative candidate running in Arizona’s deep red 4th Congressional District against Republican Rep. Paul Gosar, Davison’s team believes his ad may be a game-changer. Only time will tell. But the appeal of Davison’s ad is at the very least anecdotal evidence that his message has broken through: https://twitter.com/Jerone4Congress/status/1544700948164972546?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1544700948164972546%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.phoenixnewtimes.com%2Fnews%2Frepublican-congressional-candidate-jerone-davison-calls-democrats-klansmen-in-new-campaign-ad-13981291 Few doubt Gosar’s America First bona fides and everyone working on campaigns understand the advantages of incumbency. Still, the GOP base’s aversion to career politicians means even…

Farmers and fishermen across Holland have angrily protested the Dutch government’s new environmental rules as the debate surrounding them has intensified. Officials at the Hague recently unveiled their goals to mandate drastic nitrogen emission reductions of up to 70% in many places. And as high as 95% in others. The government says the measures are necessary to reduce emissions to protect nature and an “unavoidable transition” in the environment. Dutch farmers, fearful of losing their livelihoods amid the imminent upheaval of the country’s multibillion-euro agricultural industry, have risen and made their presence known in everyday life. Tractor-trailers in the tiny…
A state attorney has revealed that the suspect in Monday’s mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago has confessed. The news comes as a judge ordered the defendant, Robert Crimo III, held without bond after being charged with seven counts of first-degree murder. Crimo, 21, reportedly fired more than 70 rounds onto parade-goers from the rooftop of a building in downtown Highland Park shortly after the parade began. The Illinois General Assembly passed a firearm restraining order, also known as a red flag law, years ago. Still, Crimo slipped past it because neither his family nor…
Pat Cipollone, the former White House Counsel for President Donald Trump, has agreed to give a transcribed interview to the Jan. 6 committee. Cipollone will appear before the committee Friday. The announcement follows former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony that Cipollone tried in vain to dissuade Trump from having agitated supporters march on the U.S. Capitol. Appearing before the House panel last month, Hutchinson said that Cipollone warned Trump and election conspiracy theorist promoting aides that they risked criminal charges if he marched to the Capitol with thousands of supporters. Hutchinson added that Cipollone demanded to see Trump after…
