Portland Police Chief Bob Day just bent the knee to progressive ideology, and it's absolutely stunning to watch.

Yet Portland Police Bureau has been completely MIA, doing nothing but "monitoring from...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling Trump an "unstable human being" for sending federal agents to arrest Venezuelan gang members in his city. Let that sink in for a moment.

Here we go again - Starbucks shutting down 400 stores nationwide, mostly in those wonderful progressive cities where safety apparently means dodging swords in the parking lot and stepping over needles in the bathroom.

Here we go again with Democrats gaslighting America about "mostly peaceful" protests while Antifa literally brings GUILLOTINES to threaten ICE officers in Portland.

Meanwhile, lo...

Despite facing a staggering $150 million deficit, he's proposing to spend hundreds of millions more on the same failed policies that turned downtown into a real-life thriller video. We're talking $350 million for "affordable" housing (that costs three-...
