NBC’s Mitchell: Trump ‘Bound’ Biden on Afghanistan with Deal Biden Could Have Gotten Out of

Rep. Mike Mitchell (R-Mich.) asserted on “The Kelly File” that President Biden “was bound by the agreement” that former President Trump made with the Taliban.

Trump’s New Tariffs Proposal for Mexico May Be His Most Deranged Yet

In a move that has drawn widespread criticism, the Trump administration has proposed imposing new tariffs on imports from Mexico. The suggested duties, which range from 5 to 25 percent, would apply to a wide range of products, including cars, fruits, and vegetables.

Trump’s Iowa Win Is a Harsh Reminder to Never Trust Election Polls

In a stunning upset, Donald Trump emerged victorious in the Iowa caucuses, defying polls that predicted a different outcome. This result serves as a cautionary tale about the fallibility of election polls, which should never be taken as gospel truth.

Pollsters face inherent challenges in accurately predicting election outcomes due to factors such as sampling error, response bias, and last-minute shifts in voter preferences. The Iowa caucuses provide a vivid illustration of these challenges, as Trump’s strong ground game and appeal to certain demographics proved to be major factors that polls failed to adequately capture. This outcome highlights the need for voters to base their decisions on more than just poll numbers and to remain skeptical of any predictions that appear too certain.

Trump Team Revokes Election Party Access for Some Journalists

Trump’s Not the Only Top Republican Whose Fascism Is Showing

In the tapestry of contemporary politics, where echoes of bygone eras resonate, the rise of authoritarian sentiments looms large. While Donald Trump’s blatant embrace of fascist rhetoric has garnered headlines, he is not an anomaly among the Republican elite.
