A conservative legend has a "prediction" for November, and it is the opposite of what nearly every forecaster is seeing.

In an email sent on behalf of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, former House speaker Newt Gingrich told his supporters that Republicans are headed for a banner midterm that will leave Democrats reeling.

"When the votes are counted this November, the radical left is going to be in a state of total shock," the Republican wrote. "We are going to pick up substantial seats in the House and several seats in the Senate."...

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Mike Pence preached from the gospel of fiscal responsibility and proposed a Constitutional amendment to limit federal spending.

“Federal spending growth is out of control and shows no signs of slowing down,” Pence's campaign website said. “Our runaway spending spree is driving inflation, making us dependent on our adversaries, and threatening our national security. It is time for a Constitutional Amendment to tie the hands of profligate politicians in Washington once and for all.”

But is Pence himself poised to join an all-star team of former presidential candidates who’ve stiffed their campaign consultants and vendors?...

Newt Gingrich is getting torched online for trying to score political points by tearing down President Joe Biden's vow to "move heaven and earth" to rebuild Baltimore's toppled Francis Scott Key Bridge.

"Why would President Biden promise to pay to rebuild the Baltimore bridge when the insurance companies are responsible," the former House Speaker posted on Twitter/X. "Why add a billion dollars to U.S. debt when the big insurance companies exist for precisely this purpose?"

Nikki Haley dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday. On the same day, regulators from the Federal Election Commission sent the former South Carolina governor’s campaign a 69-page letter.

The letter to Haley’s campaign flagged what a Raw Story analysis showed was contributions from 188 individuals that the FEC says exceeded federal limits. Together, those people contributed almost $1 million to Haley’s now-defunct campaign....

Sean Hannity might have an old fashioned, New York City egg cream on his face.

Outraged New Yorkers slammed the Fox News anchor Wednesday after he boasted of the "great" Republicans who represent his new home state of Florida.

"I actually have great representatives," he told former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, before numbering them off on his left hand. "I've got Gov. DeSantis, I've got Sen. Rubio, I've got Sen Rick Scott — you know what there are great people here in Florida unlike where I came from — my former state. New York." ...

Newt Gingrich slithered his way closer to Donald Trump’s campaign this week with a short-on-facts op-ed celebrating plans to “save American cities” by empowering cops.

Gingrich fawned over a problematic speech Trump gave in New Hampshire last weekend when he promised to “indemnify” police officers accused of brutality, or protect them from being sued — which is a policy legal experts told the New York Times is “frankly absurd.”

“This was an encouraging speech for our future and a real commitment to save America’s citizens,” writes Gingrich. ...
