An advocacy group led by former Vice President Mike Pence is urging lawmakers to consider a laundry list of spending reforms to confront the growing national debt. Advancing American Freedom, in an 8-page document obtained by The Hill, issued what it called a “guide to cutting federal spending,” a three-step plan that comes as the national debt recently surpassed $35 trillion. “After decades of ignoring the significance of profligate federal spending, the consequences are finally starting to catch up to us,” the document states. “As has been the case, the problem is not a lack of revenue, but rather a...

VIDEOA desperate Kamala Harris ended up picking a WEIRDO, Tim Walz, as her running mate. You have to be desperate to pick Weirdo Walz since he was the one who bloviated leftist talking points while Minneapolis burned during the 2020 BLM riots.

Former President Donald Trump did not attempt to grab the steering wheel of a presidential limousine on Jan. 6, as was suggested by a star witness of the Jan. 6 Committee, according to witnesses interviewed by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG). Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified to the Jan. 6 Committee in 2022 that she heard from presidential security official Tony Ornato that Trump had lunged for the wheel of “the Beast” after being informed that he was going back to the White House...

Evidence that the “Trump is a racist” media narrative is no longer working became more obvious when a reporter interviewed black patrons in a Barbershop concerning race, politics, and the upcoming November general election.

Multiple reports on Tuesday indicated the governments of Jordan and Saudi Arabia communicated to rogue terror sponsor Iran it could not use their airspace to attack Israel in response to the elimination of Hamas “political” chief Ismail Haniyeh. The Middle East is anticipating a major attack on Israel by Iran in response to Haniyeh’s killing. Iran itself is repeatedly threatening to execute its “holy wrath” in an imminent attack on Israel, though it has yet to make a move at press time outside of various attacks by its affiliated terror proxies. Iran’s neighbors would not help Iran conduct missile attacks...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThen Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Mark 9:5–7Just prior to the Transfiguration, Jesus began to reveal to His disciples that He would suffer greatly, be rejected by the elders, be killed and then rise on the third day.

The magazine is as critical as the firearm and ammo we use. A large percentage of firearm malfunctions can be attributed to magazine-related issues, which is an important reason to always carry a spare mag. This being the case, it is surprising how little attention is paid to this critical component. A gun is only as reliable as its magazine. Cleaning and maintaining your magazines is just as important as cleaning and maintaining your pistol or selecting the right ammunition. If you get a magazine malfunction, test it again. If it creates a second malfunction, immediately take it out of...

Nevada’s adoption of an all-mail voting system has made its voter roll problems ‘worse,’ according to Chuck Muth.Nevada’s system of automatically mailing a ballot to everyone on the voter roll makes the state’s failure to keep clean voter rolls more dire, says the president of a watchdog group that last week claimed to have found more than 100 people on Nevada’s voter rolls who voted in another state.“The biggest problem is that they changed the law in 2021 so that every active voter is automatically mailed a ballot, so we need the cleanest possible voter files to protect against potential...

Vice President Kamala Harris passed over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as her running mate Tuesday for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) — confirming fears Shapiro would prove too pro-Israel, and too Jewish, for the ticket. In the week leading up to the pick, as Shapiro emerged as the frontrunner, there were reports of internal rebellions within the Democratic Party, largely due to his strong pro-Israel views, which included skepticism of peace talks. Hearing there was a progressive revolt last night over Shapiro as VP, several WH staffers that went all in on Palestine (wearing the keffiyeh, attending protests) openly...

Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways," Pat Gelsinger posted to X, quoting Proverbs 4:25-26.
