    Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday over her role in immigration law and for allegedly misleading the public on President Joe Biden‘s condition. The two articles of impeachment, obtained by the Washington Examiner, come two days after Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed Harris to take his place at the top of the Democratic Party’s ticket. The first article of impeachment, “willful refusal to uphold the immigration laws,” stems from her alleged “inaction” with border security and immigration law as “border czar.” The second article of impeachment, “breach of public trust,”...

    Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) plans to resign effective Aug. 20, according to two people briefed on the decision, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The longtime Democratic lawmaker was convicted on July 16 of taking bribes from three businessmen who showered him and his wife with cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, an extravagant bounty for his help securing deals with foreign officials and trying to derail several criminal investigations in New Jersey.

    When President Joe Biden began his campaign trip in Las Vegas last week, everything seemed to be running as smoothly as it could for an 81-year-old president in physical and cognitive decline. The day before he abruptly left town, Biden delivered the keynote address in front of a packed crowd of almost five thousand people at the NAACP National Convention at the Mandalay Bay hotel. On Wednesday, Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote at the UnidosUS annual convention at the MGM Grand, with thousands in attendance anticipating his arrival. With the venue located right off the Las Vegas Strip,...

  • Government Policies Hiked Texas Electricity Costs by Almost $20 Billion Last Year

    Texas Scorecard ^ | July 19, 2024 | Luca Cacciatore
    Policies subsidizing generators, utilities, and unreliable energy have raised the cost of electricity in Texas by $19.9 billion in 2023, constituting 42.7 percent of total electricity costs. In a study published Wednesday by the Energy Alliance, the group found that the total government-imposed cost of electricity in the Texas Interconnection operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas was $84.3 billion. Texas state and local governments are responsible for causing 85.7 percent of that $84.3 billion. “The massive increase in subsidies has done nothing to address the primary cause of unreliability in the Texas market, renewable energy,” stated Bill Peacock,...

    A Canadian man attempted a terror stabbing on Monday morning at the entrance to Netiv Ha’asara, a moshav in southern Israel close to the Gaza border, the Israel Defense Forces said, adding that the assailant was shot and killed. The IDF confirmed that the assailant was a Canadian citizen, adding, “We emphasize that the suspect is a foreign citizen who arrived at the scene from Israel and not from the Gaza Strip.” The Kan public broadcaster reported that the man, identified as Qawarshi Zakaria Adam, carried a Canadian passport and that he shouted “Free Palestine!” as he conducted the attack....

    A convicted murderer who fatally shot an off-duty NYPD officer during a robbery in the Bronx more than 40 years ago will soon be released on parole — the 42nd cop killer in the state granted their freedom in seven years. Jose Curet, who gunned down Officer George Werdann on Feb. 21, 1982, will be sprung from Fishkill Correctional Facility after the Parole Board decided in favor of his release earlier this month, state records show. Retired NYPD Lt. Donald Pagani was a childhood friend of the murdered 23-year-old and attended 16 hearings to try to convince the board to...

    Political violence against the right is raging, but the left appears to tacitly — and sometimes openly — endorse it... On Wednesday, the Patriots for Europe Group in the European Parliament initiated a plenary debate and a resolution condemning political violence, including the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump, the current presidential candidate, but the majority of MEPs voted against it, Kinga Gál, the group’s first vice-president, said in Strasbourg. At her press conference, Kinga Gál criticized the EU parliament for doing virtually nothing to combat the political violence that has already been rife in Europe. She cited...

    As flailing Democrats despair publicly and privately at the diminishing chances of President Joe Biden returning to the White House in 2024, some supporters think a ready made alternative is waiting in the wings to replace the octogenarian. Step forward two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pablo O’Hana said she is a “seasoned, savvy and adaptable candidate” in an opinion piece published by The Hill on Saturday. He argued the former Secretary of State also has youth on her side at 76 as well as experience, stating in the piece: Let’s get this out of the way first: Clinton...

    The Secret Service acknowledged Saturday that it had turned down requests of additional resources sought by former President Donald Trump’s security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination last week, a reversal from earlier statements by the agency denying that such requests had been rebuffed. Almost immediately after a gunman shot at Trump from a nearby warehouse roof while he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend, the Secret Service faced accusations from Republicans and anonymous law enforcement officials that it had turned down requests for additional agents to secure Trump’s rallies. “There’s an...

    Democrat National Convention delegates are openly discussing what would happen at the August convention if Biden either refuses to step aside or drops out of the race — pointing to a “good-conscience loophole” that lets them vote for a new candidate of their choosing. DNC delegate Elaine Kamarck briefed other delegates .. that the apparent “loophole” allows for such a rebellion by letting convention-goers bolt if they no longer have a “good conscience” about their pledged choice determined by primaries and caucuses. ... DNC’s rules state: “Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all...

    A voting rights group says a new Alabama law that expanded the list of felonies that cause a person to lose their right to vote is “out of step” with what is happening in most of the nation on voting rights for formerly incarcerated people. The Campaign Legal Center filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Montgomery Circuit Court seeking to clarify that the new law cannot block people from voting in the November election. The lawsuit argued House Bill 100, which has a Oct. 1 effective date, cannot be used in the upcoming election, because the Alabama Constitution prohibits new election...

    Democrats and left-wing commentators have been at all serious in what they say about Trump, then they really should not even be expressing relief about Trump’s safety and recovery, as most of them have done. How can they be happy that orange Hitler — a literal “threat to our democracy” who they claim will cancel the 2028 election if he is allowed to resume the presidency — is doing well and will soon be back on his glide-path toward the total destruction of our country?

    Americans are demanding answers. They want to know how it was so incredibly easy for a gunman to shoot President Trump and kill one of his innocent supporters. Clearly, there was at least a communication breakdown, and right now, we can’t rule anything out until we know more. Information is still coming in slowly. For instance, Senator Hawley has just revealed some disturbing details from a whistleblower about President Trump’s security details. According to this source, most of Trump’s security team that day in Butler, PA, weren’t even official Secret Service agents. Hawley claims they were unprepared and inexperienced personnel...

    The Hill is citing “well-connected Democratic Party insiders” in reporting that Beshear is among several “serious” candidates to be considered for the vice president nominee if President Biden withdraws from the race. The Hill reports his name is on a shortlist to be Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick. Other names mentioned include Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. In recent days, there have been an increasing number of calls from major Democratic Party officials for President Biden to withdraw from the race. Despite these calls, Biden has remained adamant that he is staying in the campaign.
