The federal government is funded through March 14. Will the Republican House and Senate pass a bill before that deadline? Over the years, Republicans have usually caved to Democrat insane demands rather than be held responsible for a government shutdown. This year, it might be Democrats who make a shutdown happen. Senate Democrat Whip Dick Durbin said, “I never support a shutdown, but I can see where it could happen in this situation. It’s an extreme situation.” In 2025, a federal government shutdown might be just what President Trump and DOGE Chair Musk want since it can show the American...

On Tuesday President Donald Trump told reporters he believed Ukraine should repay the United States the $350 billion the Biden regime sent to the country to fund their war with Russia.

One Ukrainian citizen responded to President Trump’s request to repay US billions donated to his country to fight Russia. Ukrainian citizen to President Trump: “We have lost the war with the United States....

Leftist echo chamber Reddit is embracing the French revolution in an attempt to resist President Donald Trump. The platform notorious for its censorship of conservatives is allowing posts calling for violent political revolution in the style of the French “Reign of Terror” to spread virally in the early weeks of the Trump administration. “They want 1939 Germany, let’s give them 1789 France” is popping up all over the platform, with “1789 France” spiking in Google searches and on X Radar, a feature on X that lets users monitor keywords and track conversations.

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a...

Here’s the truth about 10 popular health beliefs that patients often ask me about. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to talk to your doctor before making a medical decision, especially when you’re simply going off passed-down folk wisdom. 1. Never apply ice to a burn. Fact. Ice causes constriction of blood vessels and will make a...

As it was mostly consumed as a hot beverage, Europeans mixed mint, cinnamon and other spices to make...

(Two years ago) Border agents (in New Mexico) were averaging 1,200 to 1,500 encounters a day and processing centers built to accommodate just over a thousand were holding more than 5,000 migrants, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, said at the time.

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida, people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Mark 8:22–23Bethsaida was one of the towns just north of the Sea of Galilee in which Jesus preached.

For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in...
