Why Kevin McCarthy Can’t Lose George Santos

The Republican Party has had no better friend than Nassau County in the past few years. Of America’s largest counties, few have turned more sharply toward the GOP than New York City’s neighbor to the east. This collection of Long Island suburbs swept Democrats out of local office in 2021, and last fall, Nassau County voted resoundingly Republican in New York’s gubernatorial race. Most important for the national GOP, the county helped elect three Republicans to Congress, including two candidates who flipped Democratic seats in districts that President Joe Biden…

DeSantis Deals Blow to Woke Takeover of Education

The College Board has backed down to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and now will revise its national Advanced Placement course in African American studies. This happened following a week in which left-wing media went apoplectic, unleashing a torrent of bad press portraying the Republican governor as a dangerous fanatic and insinuating that he’s racist.  One MSNBC columnist called DeSantis’ objections to the course an attack on “free thought,” as if the Left cares about such a concept when its adherents have power.

President Joe Biden triggered the new confrontation with a flurry of recent moves to expand access to the drugs used in medication abortions, which now account for more than half of all abortions performed in the United States.

If a Pro-Abortion Activist Went to the March for Life

The Daily Signal went to the 50th March for Life in Washington, D.C. and asked pro-life advocates the questions pro-abortion activists would like to ask. We asked, why do you want to control women’s bodies, because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has said that pro-life lawmakers are really advocating for “controlling women’s bodies.” And why do you think it’s okay to torture women, because Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., says pro-life centers are essentially torturing pregnant women. Watch the video to find out what pro-life advocates really believe! Have an opinion about…
