CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said on Friday in CNN’s “Newsroom” that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filing a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could force a deal with Democrats on foreign aid. Kinzinger said, “It’s ironic because right now they’re complaining about this bill. This year was spent on frivolous investigations that were pushed by the Freedom Caucus mainly because their whole obsession has been to take out Joe Biden. So there hasn’t been much opportunity, frankly, to negotiate any kind of a deal when you have such a close majority, the idea that the Democrats aren’t...

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) passed a massive $1.2 trillion government funding plan despite the objections of the majority of House Republicans, violating the Hastert Rule and crossing the Rubicon into dangerous territory for the future of his speakership. House Republicans enacted the longstanding rule to prohibit Republican Speakers from colluding with Democrats to pass legislation. But Johnson sent the bill to the Senate despite the objections of 112 Republican colleagues, with only 101 Republican votes in favor, although Johnson and his leadership team applied significant pressure. Johnson also broke a House rule intended to give lawmakers time to review legislation...

Terrorist attack in Russia, Several gunmen fired shots at a concert hall in Moscow on Friday

he latest offering in China’s seemingly unrelenting military aircraft output appears to be a heavy attack helicopter design, broadly similar in concept to the U.S. AH-64 Apache and seemingly developed from the Z-20 multirole utility transport helicopter that is widely known as China's H-60/S-70 Black Hawk clone. While the status of the program — which may be designated Z-21 — is unclear, the suggestion is that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) wants to rapidly field a heavier and more capable attack helicopter than those it currently operates. Author's note: article updated with new profile view for the top shot. Details...

This is the first time that we know of that a helicopter has intercepted and downed a Houthi drone. French Armed Forces via X MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT SITE..............

Real scientists are expecting an aggressive hurricane season, and even more aggressive “alarmist” messaging. Katie Spence at The Epoch Times wrote this in her new article: This year’s hurricane season, which officially starts June 1, is being predicted by WeatherBELL as the ‘hurricane season from hell,’ with weather patterns similar to those of 2005, 2017, and 2020. Along with it, says the firm’s meteorologist and chief forecaster Joe Bastardi, will come the climate change blame game, which he calls a false narrative. … After Irma, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called the 2017 season ‘the most violent on record.’ ‘Changes...

In October 2023, CNN performed a gratuitous fact-check for the Democrat Party on the value of Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago after the overzealous, partisan hack, Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron, falsely claimed it was only worth $18 million. Here’s what the so-called “fact-check” by CNN claimed on October 3, 2023: Before former President Donald Trump appeared in court Tuesday for the second day of his civil fraud trial in New York, he claimed on social media that it has now “been agreed in Court that Mar-a-Lago is WORTH 50 to 100 times the Value” New York Attorney General Letitia James had...

Its Pork Barrell Chuck Schumer and Gaslight Joe Biden! Always ready to lie (gaslight) and spend trillions that we don’t have. A new $1.2 trillion government spending package Congress is trying to ram through faces significant headwinds in the House, where members are expected to vote on it later this morning. The 1,012-page bill was introduced at around 3am Thursday morning – just 48 hours before a midnight Friday funding deadline. It must pass both the House and the Senate, after which President Biden will sign it (with crayons at the ready, we’re sure). The package accounts for approximately 70%...

wo fugitive squatters eyed in the slaying of a woman whose body was found stuffed in a duffel bag in a Manhattan apartment were busted in Pennsylvania on Friday morning, police sources told The Post — as grisly new photos emerged of the bloodstained closet where the victim was stashed. Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, were tracked down by US Marshals in York, west of Philadelphia, just before 11 a.m. and taken into custody, the sources said. It came a little over a week after the body of 52-year-old Nadia Vitel was found hidden in her late mom’s...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

Purim and Yom Kippur appear to be complete opposites but the ancient rabbis say they are really two sides of the same coin.>>>Yom Kippur has many Hebrew names, including the pluralized form: Yom HaKippurim. While the word kippurim literally means atonements, if we adjust one vowel and read it as kappurim, then its meaning becomes “like Purim.” This is a clue, says the Zohar, to the future purpose of Yom Kippur when it will become a day not of affliction, but of delight — just like Purim.>>>The ancient rabbis noted that Purim and Yom Kippur are the only holidays about...

VIDEOYou know how you can tell if a public official is SERIOUS about stopping the Biden Open Border Policy? If that official actually says the word "illegal" or "illegally" when referring to the the illegal aliens who cross our open borders. One such person who does not shy for saying "illegal" is Ohio Senator J.D. Vance who used the terms "illegal" and "illegally" FORTY times in a recent one hour speech on the subject of the Biden Open Border Policy. In this video I present the highlights of Vance saying "illegal" and "illegally" in that speech. Oh, and Vance most...

The Daily Wire and controversial right-wing commentator Candace Owens parted ways on Friday, according to CEO Jeremy Boreing. “Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” announced Boreing on X. Owens’s departure comes after months of tensions between her and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over her promotion of various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. After the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip, Owens quickly emerged as a critic of Israel’s military operations, promoting falsehoods about supposed religious segregation in Jerusalem and all but accusing Israel of genocide. In the months since, Owens...

Chicago Morning Answer radio show host Dan Proft said Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson "is a doofus" for thinking that his real estate transfer tax increase referendum did not pass because of residents who voted for former President Donald Trump. The tax increase, proposed on the March 19 primary election ballot, was voted against by a majority of city voters. “Trump voters have overrun Chicago,” Proft said in a post on X. “First the Jussie Smollett assault/hate crime. Now this.” “Fun fact #1: Biden won Chicago with 82% of the vote in '20,” Proft wrote. “Fun fact #2: Brandon Johnson won...

U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., led a coalition of 24 senators expressing “grave concern regarding the administration's continued hostility towards American energy production.” In a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, they wrote, “America's working families and small businesses are facing immense challenges including high energy prices. At the same time, our allies and partners across the globe are asking for reliable American...

Former President Donald Trump stands to get a windfall of $3.5 billion now that shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp. have approved a merger with his Truth Social on Friday. The potential multibillion dollar infusion comes as New York Attorney General Letitia James is moving to seize Trump’s assets to pay a $464 million bond in his New York civil fraud case. The long-delayed merger came after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved it last month, and means that Trump’s company Trump Media & Technology Group will trade on the stock market under the stock ticker “DJT” as early...
