The left lost its mind. After a gunman shot then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in January 2011, Democrats and their allies in the liberal media went after Palin all over again, accusing her of feeding a climate of political violence.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 09:35:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/08/hakeem-jeffries-could-and-should-be-prosecuted-for-this-n4959147<![CDATA[When Democrats spent election night telling Republicans to "lawyer up," President Donald Trump made it clear he isn't going to sit there and take it.]]>Sat, 07 Nov 2026 15:23:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/07/democrats-told-trump-to-lawyer-up-he-just-flipped-the-script-on-them-n4959131<![CDATA[When President Donald Trump promoted Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff, Democrats started fuming almost instantly. That reaction alone tells you it was a good move.]]>Sat, 07 Nov 2026 10:02:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/07/heres-why-democrats-are-freaking-out-over-stephen-miller-n4959123<![CDATA[Not long ago, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was one of Donald Trump's most loyal foot soldiers on Capitol Hill. She defended him on every platform that would have her, and she treated her devotion to the MAGA movement as the core of her political brand.]]>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 21:56:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/06/mtg-has-a-theory-about-trumps-big-white-house-shake-up-n4959119<![CDATA[President Donald Trump announced a stunning shake-up of his administration on Friday.]]>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 14:38:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/06/breaking-susie-wiles-out-as-chief-of-staff-trump-names-replacement-n4959107<![CDATA[On Wednesday, I called Abdul El-Sayed's victory the hardest result of the midterms, and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino just made the case for why that's true.]]>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 14:36:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/06/dan-bongino-gives-chilling-warning-about-abdul-el-sayed-n4959103<![CDATA[When Salon announced on Thursday that it is closing its doors after 31 years, my first reaction was shock — I was shocked they were even still around in the first place. Apparently they were, and now they’re not.]]>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 10:07:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/06/the-left-wing-rag-you-didnt-think-was-still-around-is-actually-shutting-down-now-n4959090<![CDATA[When Republicans took a beating in the midterms, there was no denying that the clock started ticking on the Supreme Court's conservative majority. Democrats will take firm control of the Senate in January, and they’ll probably hold it for at least six years. That leaves Republicans with one narrow window to protect the conservative majority on the court, and it's closing fast.]]>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 17:07:45 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/05/maybe-clarence-thomas-is-conservatives-only-hope-now-n4959071<![CDATA[When Justice Samuel Alito said earlier this year that he wasn't retiring, I was both relieved and disappointed. I was relieved because he is one of the most reliably conservative, originalist justices on the Court, and it would be sad to see him go. I was disappointed because even though Republicans looked to be in a good position to hold the Senate at the time, it wasn’t a guarantee.]]>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 10:34:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/05/this-hail-mary-move-could-save-the-supreme-court-from-the-democrats-n4959053<![CDATA[Democrats have wanted to impeach Donald Trump since before he ever took the oath of office. They promised it before his first inauguration in 2017, followed through twice, and never let go of the idea once voters sent him back to the White House in 2025.]]>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 10:00:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/05/hakeem-jeffries-is-such-a-lying-snake-about-impeachment-n4959051<![CDATA[When the results came in Tuesday night, conservatives across the country took a brutal gut punch.

And I’m not talking about Texas. Texas was a shocker, no question. Even so, I expect a full self-correction in four to six years. Texas didn't become a blue state because of the Iran war and gas prices any more than Massachusetts became a red state when it elected Mitt Romney governor. South Carolina was a loss that should never have happened, but Darline Graham Norton was an exceptionally low-quality candidate.]]>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:28:00 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/04/the-worst-loss-wasnt-texas-n4959004<![CDATA[When the polls and prediction markets spent months forecasting a blue wave, Democrats got awfully confident about taking back Congress.]]>Tue, 03 Nov 2026 17:15:48 -0500<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/03/whoa-huge-republican-turnout-is-flipping-the-midterm-script-in-real-time-n4958986<![CDATA[After taking a crazy amount of flak from her own party for the simple and brave act of refusing to back a blatant antisemite, Rep.
