The Greatest Political Comeback in History? Donald Trump's Victory and What It Means
In what many are calling the greatest political comeback ever, former President Donald Trump has become President-Elect Trump once again. With a decisive sweep across all swing states, Trump secured a stunning victory, leaving the world to grapple with the implications. On election night, it became clear there was no viable path to victory for Vice President Kamala Harris. She nearly conceded but instead sent her supporters home, requesting they return the next afternoon for her formal remarks.

With Election Day just two days away, I wanted to share my analysis of the Congressional races on Long Island and consider their potential outcomes and implications for the power structure in the U.S. House of Representatives when the 119th Congress convenes in 2025.
South Shore Press Sends Santos to MSG Trump Rally
As the campaign draws to a close, Trump's supporters view this event as a defining moment in his bid for re-election, one that underscores his willingness to bridge divides and champion American values. Regardless of the election outcome, October 27, 2024, will stand as a day when President Trump reached out to all Americans, delivering a message of unity and strength from the heart of New York City.
The Election Showdown—A Turning Point for America?
As we edge closer to November, the presidential race feels more chaotic than ever. From billionaires flexing their financial muscles on both sides to Vice President Kamala Harris making unexpected moves—like her recent sit-down with Fox News—this election cycle has thrown us a curveball. Add to that President Trump's latest rally, this time in New York's Madison Square Garden, and it feels like nothing is off the table. Politics as we know it seems suspended, with a no-holds-barred approach to winning.
A Line in the Sand: Exposing the Crisis at America's Southern Border
"A line in the sand" is a phrase often used casually to denote boundaries or decisions that are irreversible. However, in the context of the newest documentary by investigative journalist James O'Keefe, this phrase takes on an entirely new meaning. O'Keefe's film is not just a demarcation of the United States' border crisis—it is a relentless and hard-hitting exposé of a catastrophe that threatens both the moral fabric of the country and its sovereignty.
Donald Trump's Triumphant Return to Butler
On October 5th, 2025, Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, a town that months earlier had witnessed a violent attack aimed at the former president. In a shocking moment, Trump had narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks, a self-radicalized 20-year-old gunman.
Political Scandals Shake New York: A Week of Public Scrutiny and Political Fallout
This past week, New York has found itself at the center of numerous political scandals, spotlighting figures from U.S. Representative Anthony D'Esposito of New York's Fourth Congressional District to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Both politicians are facing intense public scrutiny, raising serious questions about ethics, integrity, and the future of leadership in the state.
A Mea Culpa or Another Trump Hit Piece?
This past Friday, I challenged myself to sit through MSNBC's latest documentary, produced by Rachel Maddow, featuring former GOP provocateur Lev Parnas. My initial concern was that simply tuning into the network might subject me to intellectual atrophy, a condition seemingly afflicting Maddow's and Joy Reid's followers. But, much to my surprise, I emerged unscathed. What I endured, however, was two hours of what can best be described as an extended anti-Trump campaign ad—an emotive portrayal of a man eager to paint himself as both the victim and penitent.
Can President Trump Flip NYS Red?
This past week, Long Island played host to one of the largest political events it has ever seen. A rally for former President Donald Trump packed the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum with some 16,000 attendees seated inside, while an estimated 50,000 more filled the overflow areas outside the venue. The event went forward despite speculation following the second reported assassination attempt on Trump's life. But as many have noted, Trump is a showman at heart, and, in true theatrical fashion, "the show must go on." Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman assured the public that the coliseum would be "the safest place in America" during Trump's visit.
The Congressional Crisis of Legislative Dysfunction
As Congress prepares to reconvene this week, the specter of yet another Continuing Resolution (CR) looms large over Capitol Hill. This frequent reliance on CRs is emblematic of a deeper, systemic issue in the U.S. government: legislative dysfunction and congressional gridlock. Continuing Resolutions, once considered emergency stopgap measures to keep the government funded in the absence of a formal budget, have now become the rule rather than the exception. Their repeated use signals not only the inability of lawmakers to fulfill their constitutional duties but also a significant departure from the norms of governance.
The Imperative of Transparency: A Call for Full Disclosure in American Governance
In a democratic society, the flow of information between the government and the governed should be unrestricted and transparent. It is a fundamental principle that the people are the ultimate authority in a democracy, and as such, they have an inherent right to know how their representatives conduct the business of governance. However, the current state of affairs in the United States suggests a significant deviation from this ideal. The persistent culture of secrecy and the pervasive practice of "behind closed doors" discussions in Congress raise profound concerns about the erosion of public trust and the accountability of elected officials.
Deranged Dems' Deep Disdain for Trump on Display
Last week will undoubtedly be etched into the annals of Presidential campaign history. The Democratic National Convention, marked by a conspicuous absence of substantive policy discussions and an aggressive push for abortion rights, seemed to offer little more than a relentless barrage of anti-Trump rhetoric.

'Tis the season—not the festive one, but the season of presidential political campaigns. This is the time when information overload bombards us from every direction, making it hard to distinguish what's real from what's not.
