Among the first items on his list was passing an aid package for Israel while finding ways to reduce spending. He quickly moved to make good on that, working with the GOP majority to draw up a bill that would send $14.3 billion to Israel while rolling back the budget for the IRS. The ink wasn’t even dry on the proposal before Democrats and their faithful media stenographers began blasting Johnson, accusing him of “politicizing” the proposed aid package. And Joe Biden...

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is one of the most destructive and dishonest government officials in US history. Under his watch, the US logged in over 5 million illegal aliens crossing into the country through the open southern US Border. Alejandro’s response to the crisis of record human and drug trafficking has been to consistently lie to the American public about the seriousness of the situation. Mayorkas continues to lie about the open border with Mexico insisting the border is secure – a complete lie. But now Mayorkas may finally have to face up to this man-made disaster. House Republican Pat...

Polis said, “This is out of the playbook of authoritarianism of government intervention into private businesses saying you don’t do what I want, you’re not supporting my anti-gay law.
