I do the cooking in the family, so I’m also the guy who shops for the groceries. Truth is, I like doing both just fine, because sitting down for a good meal is one of life’s underrated treats. When I was done this morning corralling the goods at the local market that I hoped would get us through a few day’s worth of semi-fine dining, I aimed my shopping cart into an empty checkout line and started offloading my supplies. Experienced shoppers will know that there’s nothing like the privilege of scooting into an empty line at the grocery store. Better yet, this welcoming aisle was being staffed by one of my favorite cashiers, Betty. All signs were pointing to a better-than-average day. As I greeted Betty, and put the last of my stuff — the breakable items — on the conveyor belt, she asked with a smile if I’d found everything OK. Salty grocery-store navigator that I am, I told her I had, but with things so slow in the place, decided to make the opportunity for some small talk while drivi...

Trump reaching for world's 'richest family' status by 2028: expert

Image
President Donald Trump and his family are using the White House to make the Trump family “the richest on the planet by the time the president’s term is over,” warned MS NOW correspondent Jonathan Lemire on Wednesday. ‘Donald Trump Jr. has been quoted in media reports saying that his goal is for the Trump family to be the richest on the planet by the time the president's term is over,” Lemire told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur on Wednesday while discussing the first people to disembark Air Force One in China. “It is telling that Eric Trump and his wife Lara Trump were among the first off the plane. And I will say, at least in that initial wave of officials who came down the front steps of Air Force One, I didn't see the Secretary of State. I didn't see the Secretary of Defense. I did see a couple of CEOs, and I certainly saw the Trump family — which I think is a fitting symbol of a family that, in the first term, did put up a few minor barriers and did try to have a few restrictio...

'Don’t rig our map': White House effort backfires as ruby red state rejects Trump plan

Image
COLUMBIA — The Senate on Tuesday rejected a push to redraw the state’s congressional lines just weeks before the primaries, with GOP leaders saying it’s legally unnecessary and wrong for South Carolina. Senators’ 29-17 vote fell short of the two-thirds majority approval needed to proceed. Officially, senators refused to add redistricting to a resolution setting the rules for what the Legislature can do after the session ends Thursday. That’s despite pressure from President Donald Trump, who called GOP senators personally over the last week and publicly prodded the majority caucus through his social media platform. “I’m watching closely, along with all Republicans across the Country who are counting on their Elected Leaders to use every Legal and Constitutional authority they have to stop the Radical Left Democrats from destroying our Country,” the president wrote Monday night on Truth Social . But Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said legislators need to stand up for what’s best fo...

Republicans deploy ground troops in the states to execute 'the plan'

Image
President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are planning on sending troops to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections, according to a recent report by The New Republic. “The Republican National Committee announced Tuesday that it has deployed poll watchers and election observers in at least 17 states for the midterm elections,” The New Republic’s Hafiz Rashid reported on Tuesday. “In a post on X, RNC Chairman Joe Gruters posted an audio clip where he said, ‘We’ve already deployed field staff and we’ve hired state directors and election integrity directors.’” Although Gruters did not specify which states he was targeting, he made it clear that this is part of the GOP’s plan to retain control of Congress during the 2026 midterm elections. “We focus on the big picture,” Gruters said. “We focus on winning. We have a plan. We’re executing the plan.” As Rsahid reported, Trump himself has said he is considering sending the National Guard and ICE to voting locations in November....

DC insider reveals what he just heard about the plot to oust Trump

Image
I had dinner recently with a group of political operatives — sophisticated people who for years have been advising politicians and candidates. During dinner they shared with me their fantasy, which they gave 30 percent odds of becoming a reality within the next four months. In my dinner companions’ fantasy, Trump’s failed war will elevate gas and food prices so high and long that much of the Republican base will begin turning against Trump. And Trump’s mental problems will become even more obvious. Faced with all this, JD Vance promises Marco Rubio that he’ll appoint him vice president if Rubio joins Vance in seeking to oust Trump under the 25th Amendment.* Rubio agrees. Vance and Rubio then approach House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune for confidential discussions in which they broach the possibility. Johnson and Thune give Vance and Rubio their tacit support. Vance and Rubio then get Pete Hegseth to sign on, promising Hegseth that he’ll keep his job. They...

Trump handed AG a stack of articles labeled 'treason' — and now DOJ is targeting reporters

Image
President Trump has launched an aggressive campaign to punish journalists who reported on his decision to launch war against Iran, marking an unprecedented assault on press freedom. According to the Wall Street Journal , Trump personally handed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche a stack of news articles with a sticky note labeling them "treason," prompting the Justice Department to pursue subpoenas directly targeting reporters' records. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, and Axios have all received grand jury subpoenas or faced investigations for reporting on the Iran war's buildup. The Journal received subpoenas dated March 4 for reporters' records related to a February 23 story detailing Pentagon warnings about the military campaign's risks. That article ran five days before Trump launched the war on February 28. Trump's anger intensified after a New York Times article revealed how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu p...

GOP Rep caught on tape backing racist remark about top Dem

Image
A Republican lawmaker has been caught on tape agreeing to a racist remark directed at House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries , in which he was referred to as having "cotton-picking hands." Jeffries, the House Minority Leader since taking over from Nancy Pelosi , has been outspoken in response to the Virginia Supreme Court's latest ruling, shooting down a new congressional map designed to create four new Democratic seats. The effort, approved by the state's voters in a special ballot measure, was undertaken in order to counteract gerrymandering campaigns done in red states at the behest of President Donald Trump, with the aim of rigging the 2026 midterms in their favor. Jen Kiggans is a Republican representative for Virginia, who on Monday appeared on the latest episode of the "Richmond Morning News" podcast with host Rich Herrera. During the interview, Herrera made a comment about Jeffries, a New York representative and a black man, staying out of Virginia...
