It’s been more than 20 years since Scott Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Connor. Speculation and fascination surrounding the case have barely slowed over the past two decades as people want to know if Scott didn’t do it … who did? Peterson is currently serving...
Less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out of the upcoming presidential election, Vice President and now-Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, couldn’t wait to talk about abortion. Using euphemisms like “reproductive freedom” and touting the same old “bodily autonomy” rhetoric, Harris’ message is nothing new. It’s one she’s been sending...
If you asked Venezuelans how they felt at the beginning of 2023, most would answer hopeless and resigned. Nicolás Maduro, the socialist dictator, had just crushed and co-opted many of the opposition leaders. More than 9 million people were starving, not able to eat three meals a day. Over 350,000 Venezuelans had recently fled the...
The Democratic Party is not the party it used to be. As someone who spent nearly two decades in the New Jersey state legislature as a Democrat before moving to the United States Congress, I have had a front-row seat to the drastic changes within the party over the years.

It’s blatantly obvious that since former President Donald Trump was almost assassinated and President Joe Biden was successfully forced out of the race, the Democratic tone-setters decided to downplay their incessant “Threat to Democracy” talk and switch to Joyful Warriors buzz.

Did the Democratic National Convention intentionally spread rumors of a surprise Beyonce performance at their gathering on Thursday night to fill the auditorium? If so, it was a cheap trick, and says a lot about their confidence in Kamala Harris’ star power. But that is no surprise; after all, this is the same crew that...
Vice President Kamala Harris gave a ringing speech that fired Democrats up to close the Democratic convention and this more or less picture-perfect convention came to an end. Harris will likely continue to strengthen in the polls as is typical after a convention and there is no doubt that the Democrats are in better shape...
The Russian media has been exploding with minute-by-minute coverage of the Democratic National Convention this week. Practically every major Russian news outlet – from Pravda and Izvestiya to Moskovskiy Komsomolets and Kommersant – has been providing extensive reportage and analysis of our presidential election campaign. Here is why they are obsessing over the DNC and...
Does anybody else feel like we’re navigating a deep spiritual divide in America? In addition to officially nominating and affirming its presidential candidate, political conventions serve as a snapshot of its party’s overarching priorities, principles and passions — a united declaration, and an unapologetic defense of its platform.
