Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has suspended his 2024 Republican presidential campaign, the announcement comes just two days before the first in the nation primary in New Hampshire. DeSantis, 45, announced his plans to drop out of the Republican primary race on Sunday in a video posted on X. In his announcement, DeSantis also issued an endorsement for Trump. “Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden. That is clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge is my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican Guard of yesteryear, or repackage formed of warmed over corporatism that Nikki Haley represent,”

RdeS, you made the hard yet correct decision. I admire your willingness to understand where you stand in the big picture for 2024. Talk to Trump. You will need his coattails for future aspirations.

We win in FL because we get him back full-time. He made a wise decision, he will be ready and smarter in 2028 and beyond. Still among the 2 best governors in America, including Abbott of TX.

No question DeSantis gets it, and in reading his autobiography I discovered how perceptive and capable he really is! As a California voter, I had even toyed with the idea of voting for him in the primary (confident that Trump would carry the day) as a statement of my admiration....much as I voted for Walker in June 2016 who had also 'withdrawn' from the race at that point, all the while pleased with Trump's arrival.

Joe Biden is always talking about the military. But his administration has a very careless approach to the safety of the members of the American military. We've seen it now many times from Afghanistan and how they dealt with the death of the 13 young Americans killed in the bombing during Biden's chaotic withdrawal until now. Last week, we saw that Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder had an abysmal response on the missing Navy SEALs who went into the water in the Gulf of Aden as they were part of a mission to interdict advanced weapons being sent from Iran to the Houthis. But when the question was posed,

It seemed like a good idea. College campuses across the country were erupting in Jew-hating outbursts, and parents were rightly worried about their Jewish college-aged kids caught up in the frenzy of hate. On Facebook, a group called Mothers Against College Antisemitism (M.A.C.A.) was founded and grew quickly to over 50,000 members. They shared information, emailed, called, and signed petitions. They stood united against the oldest hatred rearing its head again. But just as fast, fissures formed. The cudgel of DEI – that is, “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies that had been used against Jewish students – was the subject of feverish debate. Sure, the policies were bad for Jews, but weren’t

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida Republicans may set aside millions in taxpayer money to help pay for former President Donald Trump’s multiple legal battles. A Miami Republican who endorsed Trump’s reelection has filed a bill for this year’s legislative session that could allow the state to hand out up to $5 million to the embattled Republican frontrunner for president. The legislation has already won the endorsement from Jimmy Patronis, the state’s Republican chief financial officer, who for months has been publicly calling for taxpayers to pay to defend Trump from criminal charges. “We’re in the midst of an historic moment where we’re watching an election

CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Phillips what the biggest difference between him and Biden is, with Phillips saying he would introduce “American Dream Accounts.” The proposal would deposit $1,000 upon birth into a child’s bank account so that the money grows through the years and can help them obtain higher education. Phillips also said he’d focus on childcare, healthcare for all, better education, the southern border and other topics. “People are really fearful,”

They struck eight sites, according to the statement from the US and UK, which conducted the strikes, and Canada, the Netherlands, Bahrain, and Australia, which supported the attacks. It was a smaller number than the first joint operation on January 11 that struck over 30 Houthi targets.

A Harvard University-affiliated teaching hospital is seeking to retract or correct dozens of papers authored by four of its top researchers — including the hospital’s CEO — following a probe into allegations of data falsification. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston has already initiated six retractions to papers and 31 others are in the process of being corrected, the hospital’s research integrity officer, Dr. Barrett Rollins, confirmed to the Harvard Crimson.

Consider this the one point of agreement between Israel and the terror network that has conducted war against it for nearly 20 years. Although perhaps there could be another point of agreement now as well — that October 7 changed everything. For Israel, it finally woke them from their fantasy that Hamas would turn into a governing entity rather than a genocidal terrorist network. For Khaled Mashal, it marked the first time that Hamas successfully turned the West into cheerleaders for their genocide, which fuels their fight in Gaza to this day. “From the river to the sea” means exactly what it states, Mashal asserts in this interview caught by MEMRI

SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly 30,000 professors, librarians, coaches, and other workers at California State University, the largest public university system in the U.S., walked off the job Monday in a weeklong strike to demand higher wages. The stoppage across Cal State’s 23 campuses comes two weeks after CSU officials ended contract negotiations with a unilateral offer starting with a 5% pay raise this year, effective Jan. 31, far below the 12% hike that the union is seeking. With the new semester beginning Monday, classes for many of the system’s 450,000 students could be canceled, unless faculty individually decide to cross picket lines.

Then, on Saturday, Scott popped the question to girlfriend Mindy Noce on the beach in Kiawah Island, South Carolina — and she said, "Yes." Scott, 58, first introduced the world to his then-girlfriend following the third GOP presidential debate in November.

President Joe Biden has at least two X accounts -- or at least his handlers do. @POTUS and @JoeBiden are both known for posting cringe-worthy messages that are often devoid of reality. But of all the people who should not be making fun of someone else's mental agility, it's Joe Biden. He is a walking gaffe machine -- sometimes a falling gaffe machine -- and is prone to speaking gibberish, talking to people who are in another state, and having death match smackdowns with his teleprompter. But somebody on Team Biden decided it would be a good idea to bring attention to the subject of mental fitness:

As part of an overall effort to turn Texas from a Republican stronghold into a blue state, billionaire progressive financier George Soros is pouring oodles of cash into the state’s races to bolster support for far-leftist candidates. The idea is to transform Texas into a Democratic playground, and the strategy could work if the state Republican Party doesn’t find an answer to this political offensive. George Soros is pouring money into local Democratic parties in Texas in a ploy to help Democrats turn the state blue, according to the Texas Tribune.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Biden administration in a case involving a razor wire fence along Texas’ border with Mexico. The court’s decision allows Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed along the border near Eagle Pass while litigation continues. The roughly 30 miles of wire had been installed as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement and attempts to stem the historic flow of migrants across the border since Biden's term began.

The prospect of a deal to release the remaining hostages held by Hamas appeared to recede on Sunday after a Hamas official said Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of their conditions meant there was “no chance” of their return. Netanyahu had earlier dismissed the militant group’s conditions to end the war, which he said included leaving Hamas in power and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the territory. A Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, told Reuters the Israeli prime minister’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza “means there is no chance for the return of the [Israeli] captives."

Recall that Biden’s border patrol agents are cutting a razor wire fence on private property on the southern border to allow illegal aliens to enter the U.S., putting Americans at risk. Gov.
