Patriot TV

Graham Platner is done, just as we predicted weeks ago. But until he officially drops out, there's still a chance the Democratic Socialists of America might keep him afloat. Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene decided now is the time to point out his AIPAC connections and lecture women about reporting sexual assaults immediately. Then, we'll discuss health and the reasons why now, today, is the best...

Independence Day was a grand celebration of 250 years of American exceptionalism. It was fun. Now it's time to get to work on Making America Great Again. We will discuss the need for patriotism to advance beyond just the celebration. That includes why the economy needs to be strengthened even if it doesn't really need to be fixed. It also includes strategies the White House needs to employ in orde...

On today's episode of Patriot TV, JD discusses how three important Democrats are doing very bad things. Two of them are candidates, one is already in office, and all three are despicable. Then, he discusses a strangely under-covered risk to all Americans as cyberattacks are feared on the grid. Xavier Becerra’s Campaign Tangled in Ethics Probe Tied to Newsom Insider’s FBI Wire - https://conservativ...

The three Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices seem to take turns being the "bad guy" for John Roberts. As for Roberts, he appears to be controlled by... someone.

Look closely at how the border was secured, and you’ll notice something unsettling. Almost all of it rests on executive action — proclamations, agency directives, memoranda. Remain in Mexico. Asylum limits. Parole restrictions. Interior enforcement priorities. The Department of Government Efficiency did something Washington swore was impossible. It went line by line through the federal bureaucracy...

The Western left treats political Islam as a junior coalition partner, a useful bloc to be courted, mobilized, and absorbed into the broader progressive project. This is the most expensive miscalculation on offer in American politics, and it rests on a simple failure of imagination. The progressive cannot conceive of a movement that thinks in centuries, so he assumes everyone is improvising electi...

Right-wing governments are forming across Central and South America. The reason is simple: USAID was ended and voter fraud was stopped. Meanwhile, a Biden-appointed judge just stopped citizenship verification for the upcoming elections. It's up to John Thune to do everything in his power to pass the SAVE America Act. No, we're not holding our breath.

Americans often take for granted the many blessings we have. But with many foreigners in the country right now thanks to the World Cup, we're hearing just how blessed we are. On the other hand, we're also hearing of crimes and circumstances that are now happening here that weren't happening just a few years ago. We're important third-world problems.

James Talarico is not just trying to reinvent himself. He's trying to erase who is and replace it, at least in the eyes of the public, with a fake conservative caricature. There was some good news about a student. There's also bad news about RINO John Thune.

The news of the day isn't all bad, but sometimes it really is. Today's news includes a senseless stabbing in Texas and a B-53 Stratofortress going down in California.

In the one-party fiefdom of California, where Democratic dominance has turned governance into a self-perpetuating machine, Steve Hilton’s unofficial CalDOGE team has just dropped a revelation that should shock even the most jaded observer of Sacramento’s excesses. Taxpayer money—your money—is flowing through a heavily subsidized nonprofit to enlist illegal immigrants in the campaign to elect Xavie...

Karen Bass, Nithya Raman, and Spencer Pratt are all vying to be the next Mayor of Los Angeles. Angelenos have identified one major problem that they want solved: Homelessness. The issue with Bass and Raman is that they've both been in Los Angeles government for years and have done nothing to solve the issue. Pratt is the only one who wants to address the issue directly and he's the only one who ha...

As California hurtles toward its June 2026 gubernatorial primary, Xavier Becerra has emerged as a surprising contender among Democrats. Once dismissed as a long-shot after years in Washington, the former congressman, state attorney general, and Biden-era Health and Human Services secretary now finds himself in a dead heat with progressive billionaire Tom Steyer and edging ahead of former Rep. Kati...

California's 2026 governor's race has become one of the strangest political spectacles in recent memory — and that is saying something for a state that has perfected the art of political dysfunction. Within the span of a single week, the race was reshaped by a presidential endorsement and then blown open further by a scandal that would have seemed unthinkable even by Sacramento's elastic standards...

FSU shooting (April 2025): Phoenix Ikner killed Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba and wounded six others near FSU's student union. ChatGPT connection: Court records show 270+ ChatGPT conversations linked to Ikner, including questions about firearms, mass shooting media coverage, peak crowd times at the student union, and how to disengage a shotgun's safety — sent three minutes before he opened fire....

Democrats in California fear that the two top candidates emerging from the upcoming primary will both be Republicans. They're calling on the lowest performers in their party to drop out. But the problem isn't too many candidates. It's a lack of candidates that people actually like.

An anonymous House Republican warned Politico that a ground invasion of Iran would cost the GOP "60 to 70 seats" in the 2026 midterms — a loss that would end the Republican House majority and potentially flip the Senate. The concern is not fringe: MAGA-aligned veterans like Rep. Eli Crane (AZ), Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI), and Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (PA) have all publicly opposed boots on the ground,...

Democrats stunned the political world by flipping a Florida state House seat that includes President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, defeating a Trump-endorsed Republican in a district the president won by 11 points in 2024. CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten described the result as emblematic of a massive 12-point nationwide Democratic shift in special elections from the 2024 Kamala Harris bas...

Republicans enter the 2026 midterms with a clear opportunity to expand their majorities in both chambers of Congress. With President Trump’s second term delivering tangible gains on border security, bureaucratic downsizing, and energy independence, the GOP stands positioned to defy the typical midterm headwinds that often punish the president’s party. The path forward hinges on mobilizing key vote...

* City of Los Angeles bought former Ramada Inn near Venice Beach in December 2020 for $8 million to provide interim homeless housing.* Property housed some individuals temporarily but was emptied in October 2022 for conversion to permanent supportive housing.* Project delays, including 20 months for permitting and financing gaps, left the building vacant for years.* Construction began in October 2...

There are reasons to end the filibuster, but for some reason John Thune isn't buying into those reasons. He doesn't believe pushing a talking filibuster will work because it will lock down the Senate and his caucus for months as Democrats run out the clock. He may be right. On today's episode of Patriot TV, host JD Rucker explained how Thune has three policies that are extremely popular with the p...

The decision to go to war with Iran is one of the most consequential foreign policy moves in a generation — and plenty of Americans, across the political spectrum, have serious reservations about it. But opposition to how we got here doesn't have to mean opposition to seeing it through. Here are three reasons why supporting the war effort may be the most pragmatic path forward, even for skeptics....

In this inaugural episode of Patriot TV, host JD Rucker tackles the reasoning behind the war in Iran and why President Trump is fully justified to put us there.
