It won't really be "official" until the primary debates begin in the summer of 2027, of course, but there are telltale signs that it's already kicking off. Despite not being the news-controlling powerhouses that they used to be, mainstream media outlets and their multitudes of biased hacks are still working off of old playbooks. One of their oldest tricks is to tear down the Republican who worries them most regarding any given election. It's no secret that the monster under their beds for 2028 is Vice President JD Vance.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:02:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[JD Vance]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/07/concern-trolling-and-character-assassination-dems-are-definitely-sweating-vance-2028-n4951539<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 01:04:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/07/the-morning-briefing-marco-rubio-is-the-reason-i-gave-up-on-political-purity-tests-n4951511<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 04:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/06/the-morning-briefing-corrupt-legacy-media-hacks-are-stepping-on-rakes-all-over-the-place-n4951487<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 03:06:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/03/the-morning-briefing-the-kamala-effect-some-dems-want-off-the-diversity-train-for-28-n4951395<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 01:24:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/02/the-morning-briefing-dear-gop-let-president-trump-lead-the-way-to-midterms-victory-n4951338<![CDATA[There was a time not so long ago when the Democrats were formidable and — I'm not kidding here — occasionally enjoyable political foes. During the Tea Party years, we would often encounter Dem activists and hang out with them for a while. Sometimes we would even socialize. The Democrats of recent yesteryear bore no resemblance to the feral, frothing rage mob that the No Kings/Resist Dems are today.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:02:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/01/dems-ballroom-hate-is-the-saddest-proof-yet-of-their-state-of-tds-mental-unwellness-n4951340<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:48:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/01/the-morning-briefing-yeah-we-totally-shouldve-let-germany-have-france-after-wwii-n4951285<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 01:02:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/31/the-morning-briefing-fun-thought-experiment-vance-and-rubio-as-co-presidents-n4951243<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:31:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/30/the-morning-briefing-too-bad-tiger-woods-cant-drive-a-car-as-well-as-he-can-a-golf-ball-n4951207<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 04:23:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/27/the-morning-briefing-international-olympic-committee-hits-back-at-the-rainbow-mafia-bullies-n4951088<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 02:36:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/26/the-morning-briefing-president-trump-is-one-of-many-people-skipping-cpac-this-year-n4951057<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Wed, 25 Mar 2026 02:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/25/the-morning-briefing-sound-gop-strategy-for-november-let-dems-keep-getting-in-their-own-way-n4951016<![CDATA[Moments of clarity are not often found anywhere in the pages of The New York Times. There are days when it feels as if even the "Cooking" section has been politicized. As regular readers of mine are aware, I begin my perusal of the media each work day by reading the Opinion sections of both the Times and The Washington Post. Those have always been hotbeds of egregious leftist bias, but have turned into veritable minefields of Trump Derangement Syndrome crazy in the past year. With one or two exceptions (Jim Geraghty writes for WaPo, for example), the Opinion writers at both organizations are not watching the same presidency that you and I are watching.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[The New York Times]]><![CDATA[Transgender]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/24/too-little-too-late-ny-times-now-worried-about-out-of-touch-democrats-n4951018<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:29:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/24/the-morning-briefing-ice-at-the-airports-is-one-of-trumps-more-brilliant-moves-n4950995<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Mon, 23 Mar 2026 03:36:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/23/the-morning-briefing-chuck-schumer-is-taking-a-rough-ride-on-the-struggle-bus-n4950947<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:44:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/20/the-morning-briefing-trump-47-come-for-the-jokes-stay-for-the-awesome-president-stuff-n4950830<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 02:32:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/19/the-morning-briefing-perhaps-the-squad-progs-peaked-too-early-n4950809<![CDATA[Top O' the Briefing]]>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 03:55:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/18/the-morning-briefing-i-so-did-not-have-gayatollah-khamenei-on-my-bingo-card-n4950745
