    Conservatives have long been suspicious of U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). He is rightly viewed as a deal maker with little backbone who often sacrifices principles for expediency. This is why it took fifteen ballots for him to finally get elected as House Speaker. He was able to secure the position due to support from conservative stalwarts such as U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and President Donald Trump.

    On Friday, Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion relating to a defense firm’s potential conflict of interest in the Michael Sussmann case. The conflict itself is certainly intriguing, with Sussmann’s lawyers at Latham & Watkins LLP (Latham) having represented potential witnesses in the case, including Perkins Coie, former Perkins Coie (and Clinton Campaign general counsel) Marc Elias, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, and Hillary for America. The issue that made more noise, however, was Durham’s disclosure that Rodney Joffe – a contractor with deep ties to the Clintons, and what appears to be a deep hatred for Trump – had...

    Two years after World War I ended -- in fiscal 1920 -- the federal government spent approximately $6,358,000,000, according to Historical Table 1.1 published by the White House Office of Management and Budget. At the same time, it collected approximately $6,649,000,000 in taxes -- and ran a surplus of $291,000,000. When that federal spending of $6,358,000,000 is adjusted for inflation from June 1920 dollars (the last month of that fiscal year) to June 2021 dollars (the latest month that can be calculated using the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator), it becomes $82,652,780,000. The 1920 Census discovered that the United...

    When the Democrats get caught doing not as they say, they often ignore it and act like hypocrites. But some “offenses” they’ve made so grave that they can’t get away with it. Their latest likely victim is Neera Tanden, who The New York Times suggests will be “First Cabinet-Level Casualty of the Twitter Age?” Biden nominated Tanden for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. She has a staunch left-wing background. She served as policy adviser for the Clinton White House, advised Hillary Clinton as senator and presidential candidate, served in the Obama administration, and most recently, served as...

    President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Neera Tanden has criticized Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Twitter, one person who could put an end to her Senate confirmation. In a tweet from 2017, Tanden told Murkowski that she must be “high on your own supply” after Murkowski tweeted about lowering the corporate tax rate. Tanden needs one Republican to vote in favor of her confirmation, with the Senate split at 50-50, as Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announced Friday that he would oppose Tanden’s confirmation. “No offense but this sounds like you’re...

Joe Manchin, (D-WV) announced Friday afternoon that he would oppose Tanden’s confirmation. “I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget,” he said in a statement.

    It’s well known by now that Neera Tanden, President-elect Biden’s pick to head the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is a thoroughgoing ding-a-ling. With McCarthyite unrestraint, she has dubbed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “Moscow Mitch,” judging him a treacherous Russophile. She has insisted Sen. Susan Collins’s (R-ME) “terrible treatment of Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford should haunt Collins the rest of her days.” The “terrible treatment,” of course, was rejecting Ford’s implausible allegation of attempted rape by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Tanden also spurned Michelle Obama’s precept “when they go low, we go high,” rejoining...

    Biden’s pick to run the Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tanden, appears to have deleted over 1,000 tweets since Nov. 1, after posts targeting lawmakers whose vote she will need for confirmation resurfaced. Tanden, a longtime Clinton advisor and president of the Center for American Progress, is an avid tweeter. She has used the platform to issue bombastic criticisms of lawmakers — as well as voters — who identify to her right and left. The tweets, some deleted and some still live, reference GOP lawmakers by name, tagging them, and blasting them for supporting President Trump, or in some...

    Neera Tanden, President-elect Joe Biden's choice to run the Office of Management and Budget, has fired off tweets and emails that have agitated her party's liberal wing – along with conservatives and the Senate's most prominent centrist. The missives could pose a threat to her nomination if Republicans gain control of the Senate – or perhaps even if Democrats secure the narrowest of majorities. One immediate strain to emerge is with the Democratic Party's progressive left, in particular those loyal to Sen. Bernie Sanders, who challenged Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020.

    As the schiffshow continues in the Senate, today we have another piece of the anti-Trump conspiracy puzzle in place. As you likely know, the effort to remove Trump from office formally began on the day we was inaugurated. Almost immediately after that Jerry Nadler saidWe cannot wait four years to vote Mr. Trump out of office, In 2018 Hillary Clinton campaign director and head of the far left Center for American Progress Neera Tanden stated: “Our goal is to be the central hub of the Trump resistance, to hold Trump accountable for the promises he made,” said CAP president and...

    Vermont’s socialist democrat Senator Bernie Sanders was once the toast of the left. He said all the right things about any given subject, promoted socialism, and was consistently voted the most popular politician in America. Now, it would appear Sanders’s political career has lived long enough to see him become the villain. It looks as if the left is now turning on him. Big time. Sanders apparently made the unforgivable move of ruining Neera Tanden’s chances for the Biden administration’s Management and Budget office. Sanders questioned Tanden about her “vicious attacks” against both Republicans and hard-leftists, including himself.... Sanders being...
  • Biden reportedly pulls another nomination after GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski objects

    President Joe Biden reportedly yanked another nomination to his administration after moderate Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska objected to the pick, Politico reported on Monday. Biden had nominated Elizabeth Klein, a former Obama administration official, to be the deputy secretary of the Department of the Interior. Biden had previously pulled the nomination of liberal think tank president Neera Tanden for the directorship of the Office of Management and Budget earlier in March. Tanden's nomination was tanked after several senators objected to "toxic" tweets she had sent denigrating some Republicans and also Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Murkowski had reportedly opposed...

    GAO has no option other than to find that President Biden’s pause of the border wall funds is unlawful and should issue an opinion stating the Biden administration has broken the law.Last Congress, many Democrats, including Rep. John Yarmuth, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, claimed the Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) broke the law when it paused the obligation of funds to Ukraine for 50 days to determine the best use for them. On the very first day of his administration, however, President Biden directed that funding specifically appropriated to build the wall along the...

    The Office of Management and Budget is the largest office in the executive branch of the federal government. First and foremost, the OMB prepares the federal budget proposal that the president sends up to Congress. Given we're talking about the allocation of spending for almost $5 trillion of taxpayer funds, this is no small task. President Biden accepted the withdrawal of his initial nominee for director of this substantial enterprise, Neera Tanden, when the numerous members of Congress she has personally attacked and disparaged over the years via her Twitter account expressed their displeasure. The talk now is that Shalanda...

    ...New presidents often take the opportunity to pass a so-called skinny budget as their own personal amendment to the ongoing fiscal year’s budget. Without a confirmed OMB chief, there will be no Biden skinny budget. Here we are approaching the Ides of March and the most important job in the White House is held by an acting director, Shalanda Young....many Capitol Hill Democrats what Young for the top job–except Biden is looking around for someone else.

    Neera Tanden withdrew her nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Tuesday evening.In a statement, Tanden wrote:Dear President Biden,I am writing to you to withdraw my nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. It has been an honor of a lifetime to be considered for this role and for the faith placed in me. I appreciate how hard you and your team at the White House has worked to win my confirmation. Unfortunately, it now seems clear that there is no path forward to gain confirmation, and I do not want continued consideration...

    President Biden on Tuesday said he was withdrawing Neera Tanden’s nomination to be White House budget director. Biden presented the white flag as Tanden’s idea and the White House released a letter from her saying she wanted to drop out. Tanden faced increasingly long odds at confirmation due to her past mean tweets about senators, including swing-voting Republicans and even some Democrats. Biden said in a statement that he “accepted Neera Tanden’s request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget.” “I have the utmost respect for her record of accomplishment, her experience...

    During his campaign, Joe Biden campaigned on “unity” and moderation. Weeks into his presidency, Biden has proven this is not the case with a flurry of job killing regulations and a $1.9 trillion partisan spending plan.As if this were not bad enough, Neera Tanden, President Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), supports countless tax increases on American middle-class families including a soda tax, a carbon tax, a full repeal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and increased Obamacare taxes.Each of these taxes would violate Biden's pledge not to raise a single penny of taxes...
