There's been another report of a flag related to January 6th and the MAGA movement flying outside of Justice Samuel Alito's home. This is not a patriotic act, but rather one that represents an attack on the Capitol, an attack on the cornerstone of our country's existence. He is unfit to serve as a justice. He is a MAGA revolutionary in a robe. *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen...

It comes as he is in the middle of bankruptcy and pleads not guilty to trying to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona. But his downfall is symbolic for American Democracy. At the turn of the millennium, then-President Clinton spoke of hope for a new generat...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continued her streak of extreme rhetoric by throwing racist remarks towards Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the freshman Democratic congresswoman from Texas. Crockett then asked the House Oversight Chair where he would dry the line for condemning personal attacks. That's when the phrase "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body" was born. Steve Schmidt explains why Crockett's q...

Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Trump Vice President contender erupted on Fox News this weekend after she was asked about her previous statements about President Trump. Back in 2015, when Stefanik was newly elected to congress, she told a local radio station that Trump was "insulting" to women and stood against what she was fighting for in politics. Years later, she has vowed total all...

A New York Times report revealed that an upside-down American flag was flown outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito just days before Biden's inauguration. The perversion of the American flag, normally a symbol of distress, was co-opted by the seditionists who stormed the Capitol. This corrupt and despicable act has no place in America and no place inside the Supreme Court. As the m...

Biden and Trump have agreed to debate. But the regular campaign cycle and schedule have gone out the window. There might even be an opening for Robert F. Kennedy Jr to join in. Biden must prepare for this debate because everything is on the line. There's worrisome reporting that he doesn't believe the polling. He should. This debate represents character, morality, rule of law. It is America vs aut...

Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, recently became the head of the RNC aka the Grifter-in-Chief. She recently said that the Trump campaign will accept election results if they "feel" that it was a free and fair election. For the record, 2020 was the most fair election on record. And yet, they're trying to subvert it and put doubt into MAGA voters' minds. What does that mean for America, especial...

First it was Florida Senator Rick Scott. Then it was Senators J.D. Vance and Tommy Tuberville. Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson has showed up to a New York courtroom to support the former president in his hush money trial. What does this say about the Republican party? It comes as new polling suggests Trump will win the election. Biden is losing and his messaging is nonexistent. He has 175 days to...

Callie Barr was born and raised in Northern Michigan. Now, she's running for Congress to represent the state's 1st District.

The Fox News Anchors are worked up and angry at one of their "MAGA princesses." It's because South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote a book and admitted to shooting her 14 month old puppy. But is that where their moral line should be drawn? Where was the outrage during the Trump presidency and the erosion of democracy? What about attacking the Capitol building or trying to overturn an election? What a...

This is an analysis of how a lying politician unravels on live TV. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appeared on Fox Business to promote her new book. The book was an effort to sell herself to the American people, in the hopes of becoming Trump's choice for Vice President. But the anchor wanted to focus on one anecdote: why she shot a puppy. Steve Schmidt analyzes this interview and explains how p...

These are the best Republicans Donald Trump has to choose from for a running mate? The puppy killer and political liar from South Dakota, Gov.

On this VE Day, we call out the threats to America in an effort to preserve democracy...

The protests on college campuses are a political disaster. The rhetoric around it will serve as "rocket fuel" for the Trump Campaign heading into November.

At elite universities across America, protestors are disrupting campus life and classes as they demonstrate against Israel. But many of these students, like "Keffiyeh Karen" are misguided, petulant, and silly. And if the protests and standoffs continue into the fall, it will be a huge factor in the election. Steve Schmidt explains why these protests are a "political disaster" that must be faced he...
