MACDONALD: Miz. Omar, We’re From the IRS and We Have Questions

Fri, 2026-04-24 21:00 +0000

Ilhan Omar is no stranger to controversy. Like many a Squad member, she invites it. It amps her Q rating with cat-litter-lugging divorced liberal wine moms. Karens, AWFLs, they love that stuff. It makes someone committed to creating an American Despotism, possibly even a Theocratic one, look like she’s a rebel fighting the system. The ... Read more

MACDONALD: NH Dems vs “Free Staters”

Thu, 2026-04-23 21:00 +0000

My arrival in the Granite State predates the Free State Project, but from time to time, I’ve been included as an accomplice. Ideologically, it makes sense.
