By Teri Christo The Democratic National Committee (DNC) usually makes headlines these days for being dead broke after Kamala Harris bled them dry during her 2024 presidential run. Ever since then, they've been doing nutty things like leveragin g their Washington, D.C., headquarters building to pay their bills and keep their heads above water.  As their money woes increase under the hapless leadership of DNC Chair Ken Martin, the party has grown reckless in its embrace of the far-left activists increasingly calling the shots. The party that couldn't face putting out an autopsy of its 2024 electoral failures is basically inviting a not-so-hostile takeover by the socialists. This was made abundantly clear Saturday as the DNC met for its summer meeting in Austin, Texas, to work through various business items and determine the party policy positions as the November midterms inch closer.  SEE ALSO Below: 'Barbarians Are Inside the Gate': Mike Johnson Nails Insidious T...

By Ward Clark Colorado's increasing leftward tilt is something people have been watching and commenting on for years. I moved to Colorado in 1988, and even then, when Colorado was still, for the most part, South Wyoming, people were beginning to complain about the influx of leftists, mostly from California. That trend accelerated through the 1990s and early 2000s, transforming Colorado from South Wyoming to East California. Now, though, the TURBO button has been hit. Colorado's First Congressional District was always a lefty haven, being in that it encompasses most of the Denver area, but now long-term Democrat Representative Diana DeGette has lost a primary election to a "democratic socialist," or, to put it bluntly, communist, Melat Kiros. Now the Denver business community is rightly worried about this trend towards the nutbar commie left in the Mile High City . Affordability was a top concern for voters who helped launch democratic socialist candidate Melat Ki...

By Ward Clark The more we learn about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the more troubling the picture of his career becomes. It's become abundantly clear that he was not a man of science, but a backdrop manipulator, a purveyor of bad advice, a self-promoter, who managed to make himself one of the wealthiest men in government service.  It seems that Anthony Fauci, post-retirement, got himself involved in countries other than China, and managed to get American taxpayer funding for at least one of his post-retirement efforts. Writing on her Substack, War Room podcast co-host Natalie Winters has painted a very troubling picture of a retired bureaucrat who is using what's left of his influence to funnel American taxpayer dollars abroad. She has all the receipts. Corruption, thy name is Anthony Fauci . Just three months after leaving the federal government, Anthony Fauci took an advisory role at a newly created, Italian government-backed center devoted to vaccines and pandemic preparedness. Le...

By Tyler Durden North Korea has issued a severe warning over the upcoming joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea, characterizing it as a rehearsal for an aggressive war and that it is ready to respond. North Korea's Foreign Ministry described Friday that these planned drills look different, and will be more dangerous, compared to all prior ones of the past-half decade , in that they appear offensive in nature as the exercise will focus on modern warfare tactics. The 10-day Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise will kick off this coming Monday, August 17, and will see tens of thousands of military personnel from the United States, South Korea participate - but also other allied countries such as Australia. "The US announced that the forthcoming exercises are quite different from the ones of the past five years and intended to master the ability of fighting a war on the basis of the new aspects of modern warfare," the North Korea condemnation reads.  ...

By Debra Heine Conservative journalists disguised as a Muslims say poll workers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, were going to let them vote in other peoples’ names and vouch for eight other unregistered foreigners during the state’s primary election on Tuesday. Minnesota allows same-day voter registration, even for individuals who do not have identification, if a registered voter from the same precinct vouches for their residency. A registered voter can vouch for up to eight people after signing an oath in front of an election judge. A key vulnerability is that Minnesota does not require voters to show identification to verify who they are. Citizen Justice League reporter Cam Higby, O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) founder James O’Keefe and other undercover reporters showed up at multiple polling locations across Minneapolis Tuesday, dressed in Muslim garb to test how much fraud Minnesota would allow them commit on Election Day. The answer, to no one’s surprise, turned out to be a lot. Fraudu...

By Kyle Becker So will Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5), given the litigants in the case. The case, African Communities Together v. Mullin , challenged the Trump administration's decision to terminate Somalia's TPS designation, which had been scheduled to take effect March 17.  U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs had initially stepped in on March 13, just four days before the termination was supposed to become effective, and temporarily froze the administration's action. As we reported earlier on RedState, Burroughs had faced an impeachment effort after refusing to clear the way for the Somali deportations. “SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President," Republican Rep. Andy Ogles (TN-5) said in a statement . "This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached,"...

By Teri Christoph Well, this is rich.  Upon hearing the news that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would be stepping away from her role at the end of the month to focus on her young family, former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki used the occasion to trash Leavitt and call her a liar. Yes, really, the woman whose inane and repeated "circle back" responses during her own tenure behind the White House briefing podium – she was Biden's first press secretary – made her a laughingstock both in and outside of Washington, D.C., now wants to lecture Karoline Leavitt about how a press secretary should behave. Psaki apparently has a show on MS NOW and let loose on the Thursday night episode, saying Leavitt didn't engage the media "in good faith" and "reshaped" the White House Briefing Room "into her own personal safe space." “The relationship between the press and the White House is supposed to be adversarial by design,” Psaki said ...

By Catherine Salgado August 14 is the anniversary of imperial Japan’s 1945 unconditional surrender, marking the end of World War II and the beginning of the collapse for one of the 20th century’s most murderous regimes. On Friday, Trump issued a proclamation , “Today, our Nation celebrates the 81st anniversary of Imperial Japan’s unconditional surrender—the moment American might, brought the Second World War to its end in complete and total victory. On this monumental occasion, we pay tribute to the grit and sacrifice of the warriors who defended our homeland and carried the hopes of the free world upon their shoulders.” The president condemned the “infamous attack” on Pearl Harbor and described a “fierce and unyielding enemy that tested the strength of American resolve.” He declared, “Meeting that assault head-on, the warfighters of the Greatest Generation crossed thousands of miles of open sea, turned the tide of the conflict at Midway, broke the enemy fleet at Leyte Gulf, and se...
