Over the years, Arkansas Democrats have always played a strong role in national politics, from influential Senator William Fulbright (longest-serving Chair of Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee) to former Ways & Means Chairman Wilbur Mills (“the most powerful man in Washington”) and, oh yes, don’t forget former President Bill Clinton. However, in 2025 Arkansas’ role is […]
If you’re an American citizen who believes in America and her future, who in their right mind can argue with this? Elon Musk and seven DOGE team members appeared Thursday on Bret Baier’s “Special Report” to highlight some of their findings in a two-part interview. These are true American heroes not just because of the
Republished from RedWingPost.Substack.com Elbridge Colby, President Trump’s nominee as the Pentagon’s undersecretary of defense for policy, begins a questionable confirmation process today with a confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

It’s that time of year when those cookies begin to pop up around our neighborhoods like early spring daffodils. You know the ones — those peanut butter patties and thin mints Girl Scout cookies. Did you know those annual treats contain potentially toxic ingredients? Consumer groups, GMOScience, and Moms Across America (“MAA”), all part of
President Trump on Friday called out Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders by name during his remarks to the bipartisan Governors Working Session at the White House during The National Governors Association winter meetings. Getting top billing from the speech was the clash between President Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills over her state’s insistence
Arkansas Republican Party power struggles continue into 2025 as Governor Sanders, GOP lawmakers, and legacy donors who shut out the properly conducted, largest-ever Republican State Convention last June continue to choke down and shut out MAGA voters, those Republican party members who put our state’s Republican trifecta government and President Donald J. Trump into office.
Arkansans are eagerly looking for major changes in our government promised by President Donald Trump as he takes office on January 20. Of course, border security and bringing down inflation are the most fiery topics, but where are Congressional Democrats when it comes to so-called mandatory spending? For several years Democrats (and some Republicans) have
As Governor Sarah Sanders’ secret prison land purchase deal is becoming unraveled —thanks in part to our state’s strong FOIA, we might add — at least one leading Arkansas lawmaker continues to follow Sanders’ lead. Instead of responding to the pleas of Franklin County citizens and elected officials who were blindsided by how Sanders’ administrative
Political activism in Arkansas crosses all the lines you can imagine: Republican, grassroots, Democratic, libertarian, and so forth. But, at its basic level political activism is all the same: it’s all about getting the attention of the public and stakeholders in order to bring about a change you desire. We’re always open to hints that
Listen to this post: 50 states, 100 Senators. Republicans hold a slim majority in the 119th Congress that begins January 3. In the Senate, that’s 53 Republican Senators. Even with plenty of committee assignments to spread around — the Senate has 21 working committees — our Arkansas Senators figure quite prominently in the 119th
Republican voters’ insistence on following the Republican platform is a critical inflection point that predicts the direction the Republican Party of Arkansas will take as it continues to wage war against its own Party members. For America First/Arkansas First voters, it’s inter-related to the “any R is better than a D“ argument that sparked this
Yesterday’s public outcry from voters, “the DOGE brothers,” and President Donald Trump against the woke, bloated, Christmas tree CR Speaker Mike Johnson was pushing has forced Johnson back to the drawing board to cobble something together Congress can put in place before the December 20 government shutdown deadline. Why has Congress waited till this week
It didn’t take long for the public to learn that Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s Congress planned to give itself a $6,000/year raise, as social media users found a mess of other gems hidden in the failed, 1,550-page “Christmas omnibus” package that went down in flames on Wednesday. Johnson’s current efforts are now focused on keeping
