The First is all about ideas, conversations, curiosity, and most of all freedom. To that end, we publish a plethora of content from both our own writers and outside contributors. We focus especially on real people, with real jobs, and real opinions, not the blather you see repeated on cable news.

We are not beholden to one person, party, or partisan agenda. We call it like we see it, and we want to bring you those who do the same.

BIDEN MUST ANSWER: Why Was a Parkinson’s Doc at the White House? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

A doctor from Walter Reed visiting the White House isn’t usually cause for investigation, but Col. Kevin R. Cannard (USA, Retired) is not any doctor. Dr. Cannard is an expert in treating “early phase Parkinson’s Disease.” And he didn’t just visit one time. The question this week, as a normally friendly media and wagon-circling Democrats …

HEAD FAKE: The Left’s Biden Crisis Management | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

President Joe Biden’s campaign insisted on debating former President Donald Trump. Insisted. They wanted to get their guy up on the stage, in real-time, to answer questions and face off against a guy who spent decades doing reality television, beauty pageants, and staged events. They set up the debate with rules to silence the non-talking …

AVALANCHE OF CASH: Trump Cleans Up, Heat Turns Up on Campaigns | Steve Berman

So it begins… There’s a debate scheduled for next Thursday, June 27. It’s hosted by CNN, and at the Biden campaign’s request, there’s no audience to feed Trump energy. Trump might not even show up. Biden’s handlers might pull the plug, if the president is determined to be having a sundowning moment. Both candidates had …

DEMOCRATS POUNCE: Media Craters on Alito “Secret” But Stupid Recording | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

In 2021, “filmmaker” Lauren Windsor faked five white supremacists in Virginia and tried to pose them in a dirty political trick as supporters of then-candidate for governor Glenn Youngkin five days before the election. Windsor, a veteran of Occupy Wall Street, is a regular on leftist television with Rachel Maddow, and spreads her diseased takes …

BIDEN-MATIC: On Border or Anything, He’ll Sign Whatever They Put in Front of Him | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

President Joe Biden loses ten votes a day. It’s not his fault. Nothing is his fault. Biden-matic glides through his days, spending his mornings re-learning what happened yesterday (what day is it?) since he slept, signing or reading whatever his caretakers place before him, and winding up before “sundowning” hits. Meanwhile, Americans are facing some …

NOW WHAT? Trump Poll Shows No Change in Attitudes | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

The same people who vote for hacks like Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis (who easily won her Fulton County primary in a heavily Democratic county) in district attorney races rushed to get a “snap poll” of what America thinks about the conviction of Donald Trump in Manhattan. The ABC/Ipsos poll shows…nothing really changed. ABC, being …

You Have to Laugh | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

I think the word “guilty” was uttered around 45 times yesterday: 34 times by the jury foreman, and another 11 times when the individual jurors were polled. Number 45 is Trump’s lucky number. “No bail,” said prosecutor Joshua Steinglass as Trump shuffled out of the courtroom. Of course, we know that means the state isn’t …

ODDS ARE: Biden Says the Polls Lie…Odds Say Different | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

The polls consistently have shown Donald Trump winning in key battleground states all year. The election is less than six months away and President Joe BIden has conceded the economy, the border, China, foreign policy, and all manner of radical progressive, antisemitic, terrorist-loving freaks in the extreme wing of the Democratic Party. Between now and …
