Luigi Mangione, the Left’s murderous heartthrob, made a court appearance today, as the New York court addressed his lawyer’s motions to exclude evidence. As always, an admiring throng of (mostly) women turned out to support him: Luigi’s fans don’t want to free him because they think he is innocent, they want to free him because they know he is guilty and approve of his murder. If this video doesn’t come

No surprise here. From The Hill newspaper, Supreme Court declines to restore Virginia Democrats’ congressional map. Restore? At no point was the Democrats’ map the actual map. The farcical vote was never certified. But in no event was the U.S. Supreme Court going to intervene in the state supreme court’s interpretation of their own state’s constitution. If you dig into the reasoning in the VA court’s decision, it’s clear that

Desperate to deflect attention from Minnesota’s fraud scandals, the state’s Democrats have seized on gun control as a political lifeline, much as they did with abortion in 2022. Despite having passed an anti-gun package when they had complete control over state government in 2023, the Democrats have come up with a new bill that, among other things, would ban sales of “assault weapons,” i.e., semiautomatic rifles (and some pistols) with

Spencer Pratt and his allies have released one dynamite video ad after another, most AI-generated. I don’t know who Charlie Curran is, but his ads for Pratt are nuclear and may usher in a new era of campaign advertising. This one is a couple of days old: Who said Karen Bass has no accomplishments to run on 😂😂😂 Vote Spencer Pratt. pic.twitter.com/vEEkpoOeR0 — Charles Curran (@charliebcurran) May 12, 2026 Pratt’s

Peggy Flanagan is the far-left Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota. She has been present throughout Tim Walz’s disastrous tenure in office, but has left little mark. If she is known for anything, it is 1) being part Native American, and 2) holding down the farthest left position on the political spectrum. Flanagan is now running for Minnesota’s vacant seat in the U.S. Senate and, despite her radicalism (or on account of

Last night on the Rita Panahi Show, we covered some of the hot topics of the day, including the Nicholas Kristof scandal, President Trump’s visit to China, Mayor Katie Wilson’s deconstruction of Seattle, and more. The segment starts with Lefties Losing It (starring The View) and I come on after the video that is introduced at 4:00:

The Democrats are pushing this clip all over social media. It has been picked up by some anti-Trump news sources, like the Telegraph, which headlined: “‘I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,’ says Trump.” Here it is: Americans' financial situation: —Gas prices have spiked 44% since Trump took office—Foreclosures are at a 6-year high—Most layoffs since the pandemic—Inflation is outpacing wages—70% of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy

I am old enough to remember when Republicans and Democrats disagreed on policy solutions to problems about which there was a more or less shared understanding–that the economy was sluggish, or violent crime was rising, or whatever. Often the parties were far apart on solutions, but they at least were living in the same world and could communicate and debate their differences. No longer. Now, the differences between right and

Tom Brown’s famous translation of one of the Roman poet Martial’s epigrams begins: “I do not love thee, Doctor Fell / The reason why I cannot tell.” Brown himself might have trouble rhyming the name of New Jersey Democrat Dr. Adam Hamawy in a couplet. However, Dr. Hamawy’s patients have had no trouble explaining why they do not like him. Dr. Hamawy, you may recall, is the congressional candidate who

As all the world knows, Minnesota’s DFL Party has stood by for years while criminals stole billions of taxpayer dollars. Republicans have tried to stop the steal, but have gotten no cooperation from Democrats. Thus, in last year’s legislative session, the Republicans proposed to establish an office of Inspector General to investigate fraud in state government, with the power to bring criminal prosecutions. That proposal was, for obvious reasons, popular

Having been appointed a federal district judge by President Reagan, Michael Mukasey stepped down from the bench to serve as President George W. Bush’s last and best Attorney General. He is of counsel to Debevoise & Plimpton in New York. Judge Mukasey presided over the trial of the Blind Sheikh in 1995. Then-Assistant United States Attorney Andrew McCarthy prosecuted the case and wrote the memoir Willful Blindness to recount what

In his famous 1855 letter to his old friend Joshua Speed, Abraham Lincoln explained (emphases in original): I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that “all men are

The Viringia Supreme Court has rendered the surprise of the day with a decision invalidating the redistricting plan promulgated by means of a deceitful legislatively referred constitutional amendment that was narrowly adopted by state voters in a referendum last month. Today it went down in flames. Virginia Justice D. Arthur Kelsey, writing for the majority, held that Democrats “submitted a proposed constitutional amendment to Virginia voters in an unprecedented manner”

From the Minnesota House Session Daily, Split vote blocks House fraud panel’s attempt to subpoena U.S. Rep. Omar. Session Daily reports, A rarely used legislative tactic will not occur in the final 12 days of this year’s session. A motion to issue a subpoena to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to produce documentation related to the Feeding Our Future scandal failed to garner enough support Tuesday by the House Fraud Prevention and

The horrific Palisades fire in Los Angeles killed 12 people, destroyed 7,000 homes and businesses, and did $150 billion in damages. The fire was started by Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is currently being held without bail, awaiting trial. Rinderknecht is a good, if somewhat over-enthusiastic, Democrat: The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” with Luigi Mangione in the lead up to the deadly blaze —

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt is running in the primary for mayor of Los Angeles. He will apparently test the proposition that the city is salvagable. According to AI, his “They not like us” campaign video racked up some 10,000,000 views within 24 hours of its posting on X last week. One can’t miss the righteous anger in Pratt’s tone of voice. Mister, we could use a man like Spencer

The Democratic Party has been sliding toward anti-Semitism for years, but it took a quantum jump today when Governor Janet Mills of Maine withdrew from the Senate race in that state. That means that Graham Platner, a political novice who was unknown a year ago, will be the Democrats’ nominee to run against Senator Susan Collins. Platner describes himself as an “economic populist” and a follower of Bernie Sanders. He
