CARDELLO: They Deserve The Presidential Medal of Freedom

Heroes do not always have uniforms, badges, or guns. Sometimes they see a need, have an abundance of patriotism, and a deep need to help people. They have seen military personnel come home missing arms, legs, or other deformities of battle that they will wear like a badge of honor for life. They have seen … Read more

CARDELLO: I Cannot Believe I Agree with James Carville

And hell has frozen over. Never in my adult life did I ever see myself agreeing with James Carville. Carville is an octogenarian political consultant, author, and television pundit who has strategized for Democratic candidates for decades. He is the poster child for liberal progressive thinking, and I have never encountered a topic we agreed … Read more

CARDELLO: DSA Shows True Colors With Platform Announcement

Those true colors appear to be a red flag with a white sickle. Let’s cut through the semantics. There is nothing Democratic about this group, and Socialists might be a stretch, too. America should never be included in their moniker as they look to destroy the greatest country on Earth. These people are, at best, … Read more

CARDELLO: My Sister, My Daughter, My Senator

On Monday afternoon, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster announced that Darline Graham would fill the remaining months of her brother Lindsay’s unexpired Senate term. Only a couple of days after we learned of the sudden death of Lindsey Graham, on Saturday, a very brave Darline stepped up to the podium, accepted the role, and offered … Read more

CARDELLO: Love Them or Hate Them, The Guard is Changing

We accept the constant change in the look of Washington politics. We know that our President changes every 4 or 8 years, and the Justices seem to hang around forever, but the Congress is very fluid. Of course, we have some that stay well beyond their expiration dates, like Pelosi or McConnell. And there are … Read more

CARDELLO: You Created This Creature, He is Your Guy

He was “Your Guy.” He was the All-American boy, the prototypical dude from Maine who would get up at 4 am to harvest oysters and slay Susan Collins after lunch. He was the guy who pushed Janet Mills and the establishment machine aside and got 70% of the vote in the Maine primary. He was … Read more

CARDELLO: How Safe Do You Feel with That Oncoming Tractor Trailer

The numbers are staggering and incomprehensible, showing just how little concern these blue-state governors have for you and me. During the first 6 months of 2026, 28,000 CDL licenses previously granted to illegal immigrants have been revoked. That number is large enough to accentuate the scope and danger on our streets and highways. Estimates suggest … Read more

CARDELLO: The Most Important 120 Days in Our History

The 4th of July is behind us. Summer is officially here. We are 120 days away from Election Day 2026. These 120 days may be the most important in our history, as they could mark a tipping point. November 3, 2026, might be the beginning of a metamorphosis of America from a Democratic Republic to … Read more

CARDELLO: You Folks on the Left Missed a Heck of a Party

It is nearly 1 am on Sunday morning, and those of us who stayed up were gifted with an incredible show to celebrate Freedom 250. Donald J. Trump is the perfect President to host this party because he shows the resilience, grit, courage, strength, and foresight that make America the greatest country on Earth. People … Read more

CARDELLO: Welcome to Gracie Manor, Mr. Cardamom

Another happy 4th of July and America 250 to the half of the country who wake up each morning knowing they have won the lottery by being born in the greatest country on the map. And condolences to the rest of the country, who, despite all of the positive metrics, woke up dour, had their … Read more

CARDELLO: We Need the Patriotism We showed After 9/11

Much of this article I wrote 5 years ago. It still rings true today. Twenty-five years pass so quickly—two and a half decades since we were attacked and unified at the same moment. No time in my lifetime of over seven decades have I seen a wave of patriotism sweep our nation as it did … Read more

Trojan Horse

CARDELLO: We Are at a Tipping Point

This is not a drill. This is not a bump in the road like Sandy Cortez winning in New York, Ilhan Omar winning in Little Somalia, Minnesota, or Pramila Jayapal winning in Far-Left Seattle. This is a full-fledged attack by a Socialist movement masquerading as Democrats. Many Democrats are foolishly thinking they are expanding their … Read more

CARDELLO: Does Citizenship Mean Anything Anymore

Picture this scenario: The Lee family, which is very entrenched in the Chinese Communist Party, is expecting a child. At the start of a long-range plan, they make the short trip to Guam, an American territory, to deliver their baby on U.S. soil. They do not have to stay long or even establish residency; Mrs. … Read more

CARDELLO: Are Perception and Reality Forever Divided

We hear about divides a lot these days, whether it is the country, friends, or, maybe worse, families. I realize that the beliefs of the two parties in America may never have been so diametrically opposed, and that support for each side has never been so deeply entrenched, but I think much of the problem … Read more

CARDELLO: Is There a Happy Medium

I am a news and politics junkie. I am addicted, and 24/7 news is my drug of choice. What does satisfying that craving really do for me? Not much except to increase my frustration, angst, and bewilderment. The latter is caused by the sheer lunacy of the Left / Socialists / Communists. I am still … Read more
