Rep. Mike Collins finished first but fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff in Georgia’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, setting up a decisive second round and fueling a high-stakes battle for the party’s Senate seat. Mike Collins led the GOP field on primary night, but not by enough to clinch the nomination outright. Missing the 50% threshold means Georgia law forces a runoff, and that changes the math for campaign plans and voter outreach. For Republicans, this runoff is where turnout and base enthusiasm will decide who stands for the party in November. The runoff flips…

The arrival of powerful, widely available artificial intelligence changes how we work, think, and organize society, and it forces a clear-eyed look at what human life will look like amid machines that can mimic many forms of thought and labor. The question at the heart of the AI debate is whether the human person can survive in a world dominated by mass artificial intelligence. That sentence sits at the center of a much bigger conversation about dignity, purpose, and the structures we rely on. It is both a philosophical point and a practical challenge as tools once limited to specialists…

Russian President Vladimir Putin is traveling to China to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping less than a week after U.S. President Trump wrapped up his own trip to Beijing. The timing is striking and will invite scrutiny from capitals around the world. This visit could reshape short-term diplomatic rhythms between Moscow, Beijing, and Washington. Putin’s trip comes on the heels of President Trump’s visit to Beijing, and that sequence matters in practical and symbolic ways. For Republicans, timing is everything: a strong U.S. approach can set the terms of engagement, but quick follow-on meetings between other powers can try to…

Mike Sarraille, a retired US Navy SEAL, former Recon Marine, and chief talent officer for Overwatch Mission Critical, weighs in on President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and what it means for Iran’s future — especially as Beijing chases energy and influence while Tehran faces deeper isolation and mounting economic pressure. Mike Sarraille appears on Liberty Nation to break down the fallout from Trump’s summit with Xi and to connect recent events to long-standing lessons from the past. His résumé — retired US Navy SEAL, former Recon Marine, and chief talent officer for Overwatch Mission…

This article examines renewed concerns about government agencies repeating old patterns of political targeting, highlighting warnings from watchdogs and legal advocates. Republican circles are sounding alarms about a familiar set of tactics that once sparked a national scandal. The worry is not vague: observers see a repeatable pattern where oversight tools get stretched into political instruments, and that prospect has prompted calls for renewed vigilance. People who lived through the earlier controversy remember how destructive that dynamic was for public trust. Officials and advocates note that when enforcement and review powers get deployed selectively, the consequences go beyond any single…

Mallory McMorrow, a Michigan state senator running for U.S. Senate on a platform of water affordability, had $3,000.37 in unpaid water and sewer charges and late fees on her $1.28 million Royal Oak home that went unpaid until a reporter asked about them. Records show McMorrow and her husband went without paying water or sewer charges on their Detroit-suburb property since June 2025, leaving a balance that included late fees. The couple paid the $3,000.37 only after being contacted for comment, an action that raises questions about how closely they follow the policies they promote. A campaign spokesperson offered a…

U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue defended President Trump’s recent state visit to Beijing as a strategic, face-to-face effort to fix long-running trade and economic problems between the two countries, arguing diplomatic pressure at the highest level was overdue and necessary. David Perdue made clear that a presidential visit to Beijing wasn’t a photo op but a chance to confront structural issues that have hollowed out American manufacturing and handed leverage to China. He framed the trip as a direct response to decades of lopsided trade, regulatory gaps and intellectual property concerns. That blunt assessment reflects a Republican view that…

Rep. Steve Cohen ended his reelection bid after Tennessee’s new congressional map split his Memphis-based seat into three Republican-leaning districts, leaving him without a clear path back to Congress. Rep. Steve Cohen, the only Democrat in Tennessee’s congressional delegation, announced he would not file for reelection after the state dismantled the 9th District he had held for two decades. The new map, signed by Gov. Bill Lee on May 7, redistributed the deep-blue constituency into three Republican-tilting districts and left Cohen describing his options as nonexistent. The redrawing follows the Supreme Court’s April 29 decision in Callais v. Louisiana, which…

Trump Calls China Summit a Great Success. Chinese Communist Party leader to visit US in September. Washington and Beijing recently moved from brinkmanship to a pragmatic exchange that surprised a lot of Washington insiders. The White House framed the talks as leverage-driven diplomacy where the United States pressed for clear wins on security and trade. The outcome left Republicans saying strength and clear demands earned tangible concessions. “Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping agree: Opening the Strait of Hormuz and keeping Iran nuke free is in the best interest of the US and China alike.” That sentence captures the rare…

The $1.2 trillion tag attached to the proposed Golden Dome missile shield is headline-grabbing, but it rests on assumptions tied to yesterday’s technology and acquisition habits rather than the way modern defense programs evolve. The eye-popping $1.2 trillion figure for the Golden Dome missile shield deserves scrutiny because it treats future systems as if they must be built the same way we built the past. Cost projections that extrapolate old, platform-centric procurement models miss how software, modular design, and rapid prototyping change timelines and budgets. That makes a single sticker price a poor guide for policy decisions. The estimate assumes…
