Jamie Michell, a lesbian who founded the organization Gays Against Groomers, finds it ironic and "hilarious" that the Southern Poverty Law Center brands her openly LGBTQ group an "anti-LGBTQ hate group." "It classifies us as an anti-LGBTQ hate group, which is the most ironic and hilarious thing ever because everybody in our organization is gay and we even have a few trans people," Michell tells The Daily Signal in an interview at the Republican National Convention earlier this month.

A six year old called B.B. in Capistrano Unified School District in Southern California was introduced to the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in her first-grade class during a lesson about Martin Luther King, Jr. After the lesson, the child drew a picture and wrote “Black Lives Mater (sic),” added “any life,” and gave the picture to her classmate. The school forced B.B. to apologize for her “racist” drawing, banned her from recess for two weeks, and even banned her from drawing pictures for friends.

If she wins the Democratic nomination and is elected president, a Kamala Harris administration would be “Biden-plus,” a Texas congressman says.  A Harris administration would mean a further “move towards socialism and a more liberal government,” says Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, adding, “and that's further away from that conservative value system, that conservative foundation that we want to see restored back in our government.”   One day after kicking off her campaign for president, Harris on Wednesday chose to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress. Harris' absence was a “snubbing,” according to Moran. Vice presidents typically preside over such joint sessions. It's a “big deal,” the Texas lawmaker said, for “one of our most strategic allies, in a moment of history, where they are under siege by Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran, besieged at every, every point in their country,” to travel to the U.S. and speak to Congress. Harris’ decision to skip the speech “show

Within less than two weeks, the world has watched as former President Donald Trump was almost assassinated, President Joe Biden announced he is stepping out of the race, and Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as the leading choice for the Democratic Party nominee.  From within the U.S., it feels like a tumultuous time in American politics. But how is the world, and specifically the U.K., viewing “the land of the free and home of the brave” right now?  The U.K. is “very concerned” by recent events in America, Matthew Goodwin, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Kent and a senior fellow at the Legatum Institute, says.  “The attempted assassination of Donald Trump was seen as a symbol of a country that is very divided and polarized,” according to Goodwin. “There's an awareness that the rhetoric has become extreme, not just, around the former president, but also on the left of American politics.”  Goodwin joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss European’s views of Am

It makes “absolutely no sense” that the roof of the building from which the gunman fired was not secured by the Secret Service, Dodge County, Wisconsin, Sheriff Dale Schmidt told The Daily Signal in an interview discussing the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.  Following the attempt on Trump’s life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle sat down for an interview with ABC News and said there were safety concerns with regard to stationing agents on the roof the shooter used because it was “a sloped roof.” But Schmidt points out that the countersnipers that were on a roof behind the president were also on a sloped roof.  “When you look at a location from a security standpoint, you're going to be standing where that dignitary is ahead of time and saying, ‘Where are the potential vulnerabilities?’” Schmidt said. “And I can tell you if I was on that roof, I could have made that shot. It is not a difficult shot to make.”   Schmidt s

Security expert Brian Cavanaugh says former President Donald Trump was “a gust of wind away” from being assassinated on July 13th.  “To have a round pierce your ear, which is attached to your head, we're talking less than two millimeters away,” says Cavanaugh, a senior vice president at American Global Strategies.  For a bullet to come so close to taking the former president’s life, Cavanaugh said it causes one to think Trump was saved through “divine intervention.”  Cavanaugh formerly served as executive director for Strategic Planning and Integration for the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office. During a conversation with “The Daily Signal Podcast” at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week, Cavanaugh assessed the security failures of the Secret Service following the attemp on the former president’s life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh.  The building that the shooter targeted Trump from was about 150 y

Two days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, political commentator Tucker Carlson says, “It’s not crazy to think that there was something there, it was an effort to kill Trump, it wasn’t just a lone gunman.” The assailant crawled on to a nearby rooftop Saturday night while Trump was on stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh. The shooter fired multiple shots, shirking Trump in the right ear. It remains unclear how the gunman, who was killed, was not seen and neutralized by authorities prior to opening fire. “At some point we may find out what happened on Saturday,” Carlson says. The Daily Signal caught up with Carlson behind the scenes of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Monday to asked about the implications of the assassination attempt on the election, and Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, for vice president. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your

Allison Huynh was a fundraiser for then-Sen. Barack Obama before he was elected president in 2008, but she now supports former President Donald Trump.  Huynh (pronounced like “win”) and her husband were attracted to Obama’s message of “hope and change” in 2007.  “It was the hope and the image that he projected” that led Huynh to not only support Obama herself in the 2008 election, but encourage others to do likewise.  As an entrepreneur and successful computer scientist in Silicon Valley in California, Huynh hosted fundraising dinners for Obama with tickets costing $50,000 a plate. But after Obama won the election and took office in 2009, Huynh says, disillusionment began to set in.  A Vietnamese immigrant, Huynh says the disillusionment “started with Barack Obama and this lack of logic in terms of how he led,” but it didn't end there.  Huynh calls diversity, equity, and inclusion “Marxist and doublespeak” because “equity is what you get when you work for something.”  Equity is not won because of the “color o
