They want to believe it’s true and figure that if they report it enough times, it will make it true.]]>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:43:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Scott Jennings]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/09/cnns-scott-jennings-torches-networks-fake-news-about-maga-on-air-n4951629<![CDATA[You may not remember this, but back when Barack Obama was in the White House and pushing his nuclear deal with Iran as the defining foreign policy achievement of his presidency, he had a hard time convincing his own party that the deal was even a good idea. That was a key factor in Obama’s decision to violate the Constitution by skipping Senate ratification of the treaty and unilaterally signing the Iran nuclear deal.]]>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 14:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[Chuck Schumer]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Iran]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/09/chuck-schumer-doesnt-want-you-to-see-this-video-n4951616<![CDATA[EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin walked onto the Heartland Institute’s climate summit on Wednesday and did something the radical left can’t tolerate: He told the truth about the climate racket.]]>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:29:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Climate Change]]><![CDATA[Energy]]><![CDATA[EPA]]><![CDATA[European Union]]><![CDATA[Lee Zeldin]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/09/this-is-the-best-thing-youve-heard-an-epa-administrator-say-n4951602<![CDATA[Update: CNN issued the following statement: "The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets.

The latest excuse for their hysteria came after Trump put pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed since February, cutting off roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. They’ve been daring the United States to respond ever since, and Trump did respond. And that’s when the left completely lost it.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:23:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[Truth Social]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/07/democrats-called-trump-crazythen-he-got-the-strait-of-hormuz-open-n4951559<![CDATA[Freshly confirmed DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has wasted no time making his presence felt. Just days into the job, he sat down with Fox News host Bret Baier Monday night and floated an idea so simple and so devastating that it's a wonder nobody tried it sooner: Pull Customs and Border Protection officers out of international airports in sanctuary cities.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Border Security]]><![CDATA[DHS]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Markwayne Mullin]]><![CDATA[Sanctuary Cities]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/07/mullin-drops-a-bombshell-on-sanctuary-cities-and-dems-are-going-to-lose-their-minds-n4951530<![CDATA[Conventional wisdom says that Democrats are going to have a good year in the midterms. In fact, Democrats think a six-point lead in the generic congressional ballot is something to feel good about. Maybe they should take a closer look at the numbers before popping the champagne because the truth is that it looks like Democrats are blowing it.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:11:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[GOP]]><![CDATA[House of Representatives]]><![CDATA[Senate]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/07/heres-how-bad-the-midterms-situation-for-the-democrats-really-is-n4951527<![CDATA[The Washington rumor mill has been spinning hard since President Donald Trump ousted two Cabinet officials in quick succession.

We’ve nearly destroyed its ability to launch missiles and drones. Its navy is wiped out. Most of its military facilities are damaged or destroyed. The U.S. and Israel own the skies over Iran. Thousands of targets have been hit, and the regime's defense industrial base is being systematically torn apart to make sure it can't rearm later.]]>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 09:18:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Joe Biden]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/04/democrats-are-openly-rooting-for-iran-to-win-the-war-n4951442<![CDATA[For months, Democrats and their media allies have brushed off Republican warnings about another impeachment push against President Donald Trump. Any attempts to file articles of impeachment have been downplayed and dismissed as not reflective of where the party is at. Democrat leadership doesn’t want the public to know that impeaching Trump (again) is part of their agenda if they win the majority. But an influential House Democrat just let the cat out of the bag.]]>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 13:31:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[House of Representatives]]><![CDATA[Senate]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/03/democrat-confirms-his-party-will-impeach-trump-if-they-take-the-house-n4951421<![CDATA[The so-called experts didn’t just miss the mark on March jobs numbers; they got steamrolled by reality.]]>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:46:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Inflation]]><![CDATA[Jobs]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/03/huge-march-jobs-report-leaves-democrats-speechless-n4951416<![CDATA[It never ceases to amaze me how the media’s reporting on gas prices shifts with the party in power. The same outlets that once bent over backward to shield a Democratic president now sound the alarm with breathless urgency under a Republican one.
