House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republican lawmakers are going to investigate Joe Biden’s family pardons. After pardoning his son Hunter, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to five members of his family: Sister Valerie Biden, her husband John Owens, brother Jim Biden, brother Frank Biden, sister-in-law Sara Biden.

Mayor John Whitmire said at a news conference that drugs being stored in evidence lockers are attracting rats that feast on the illicit narcotics and cause damage to other evidence in the process.

The New York Times said the president had also revoked government security provided to his former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo,...

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war would have never transpired if the 2020 U.S. presidential election was not “stolen” from President Donald Trump. “I cannot but agree with him that if he had been president, if his victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps there would not have been the crisis in Ukraine that arose in 2022,” Putin stated. “He is not only a smart person, but a pragmatic person,” Putin continued, regarding Trump. “As for the issue of negotiations… we have always said, and I want to emphasize this...

DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton announced his support for House Bill 1484, authored by state Rep. Justin Keen (R), which would create the Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program.“We’ve seen firsthand the danger posed by bad actors and violent criminals who enter this country illegally, like the innocent life of Laken Riley,” Keen said in a statement. “President Trump’s administration has made it clear that deporting illegal immigrants is a priority, and we are proud to do our...

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) enlisted psychologists to help Democrats on the panel cope with President Donald Trump’s first week in office. The recruitment of psychologists suggests that many Democrats have “Trump derangement syndrome.” “This is only President Trump’s first week in office, and he’s already broken the House Democrats’ brains again. They’re already calling their shrinks,” Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project, told Breitbart News.

Locked out of power in Washington, the party is struggling to agree on a unified message of opposition. Some of its lawmakers are even telling Republicans they want to work together.As President Trump pushes aggressively to reshape the federal government, Democrats have retreated into a political crouch that reflects their powerlessness in Washington.Far from rising up in outrage, the opposition party’s lawmakers have taken a muted wait-and-see approach as Mr. Trump tries to end birthright citizenship, halt diversity programs in the federal government, undo foreign policy alliances and seek retribution against his perceived political enemies.In some cases, Democrats are even...

Consumer sentiment fell in January for the first time in six months, with inflation concerns and a sharp drop in perceptions of current conditions among Democratic voters driving the decline. The University of Michigan’s sentiment index dropped to 71.1, its lowest in three months, from 74 in December. The decline was more pronounced than preliminary data suggested, underscoring growing unease about the economy’s trajectory. Consumers reported feeling better about their personal finances and said incomes were stronger. But assessments of business conditions, the labor market, and economic growth slumped.

These people, who have been suffering so badly for months because of Biden & Co., are finally having hope for the first time because of Trump. He's listening to them, he's promising to bring help, and he MEANS it.I am simultaneously getting enraged anew at the commies who just got booted out -- the ones who COULD have helped but preferred to launder money through Ukraine and give money to illegal aliens. I want them tried, jailed, and suffering for the harm they have inflicted on the folks in North Carolina and, in fact, on all American citizens.

On Thursday, the Washington Post revealed what may have motivated Johnson....
