    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., said Monday that he anticipates Democrats are planning to shut down the government just ahead of the midterms, calling them “legislative terrorists” who will hurt Americans in an effort to rig the election. Speaking with a group of reporters on Capitol Hill, Schmitt said the potential for a government shutdown could be “the most under-reported thing … out there,” adding, “this is not your grandfather’s Democrat party. They’re hellbent on chaos, and they think chaos is their friend. It’s not good for the American people, but if they think that can get them...

    “How do you solve a problem like Alito?” That’s the now-deleted Tweet D.C. Bar Senior Assistant Disciplinary Counsel Jack Metzler posted in August 2023. This was after multiple justices—including Justice Samuel Alito—faced death threats. But why was he posting this in the first place? For those unfamiliar, the D.C. Bar disciplinary counsel’s self-professed mission is to “(1) protect the public and the courts; (2) maintain the integrity of the legal profession; and (3) deter attorneys from engaging in misconduct.” The disciplinary counsel, and his assistants, often do this by bringing charges, prosecuting alleged violations of the D.C. Rules of Professional...

    Chilling new interrogation video shows the moment a trans killer calmly confessed to executing her parents — blaming it on her mom trying to thwart her gender transition surgery. Mia Bailey, now 30, copped to slaughtering her parents, Gail and Joseph Bailey, inside the family home in Washington, Utah, in 2024, the footage obtained by KUTV shows. The brazen murderer, who is currently serving two life sentences, told investigators in the newly released clip that her mental health had been declining for years and that’s “why I needed the surgery.” “She was trying to sabotage it. She always had boundary...

    In a refreshing display of backbone, Tennessee House speaker Cameron Sexton delivered a clear message to the Democrat caucus: Political terrorism will not be tolerated in the Volunteer State. As Sean Davis of The Federalist reported Tuesday, every single member of the House Democratic Caucus has been stripped of all standing committee and subcommittee assignments following their disgraceful conduct during last week’s special session on congressional redistricting. The offenses? Coordinated disruptions inside the Capitol, including setting fires, attacking law enforcement officers, and turning the legislative chamber into a circus. Tennessee Republicans, wielding their well earned supermajority, moved swiftly after the...

    Rep. Jamie Raskin spent over 2 minutes trying grill 16-year-old Texas high school student Marco Hunter-Lopez at today’s hearing on political Islam and Sharia Law. What a clown. Marco, who EXPOSED his school allowing "Why Islam" to hand out Qurans, hijabs, and Sharia pamphlets during lunch while censoring conservative clubs, simply pointed out America's Christian heritage and the faith of the Declaration's signers. Raskin interrupted him repeatedly, demanded to know if he believes America is a theocracy, and lectured him on Jefferson's "wall of separation." This is what happens when a 16-year-old patriot stands up for truth in Congress. Marco...

    Well-known Christian pastor Francis Chan is raising questions after comments he made about the history of Holy Communion. “I didn’t know that for the first 1,500 years of church history, everyone saw it as the literal body and blood of Christ…And it wasn’t until 500 years ago that someone popularized a thought that it’s just a symbol and nothing more. I didn’t know that. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s something to consider.’” Chan wants the body of Christ -- not the pastor, pulpit or the sermon -- at the center of the church once again in the United States. He said...

    American Greatness ^ | 05/14/2026 | Steve Cortes
    Mike Pence anointed himself to stand athwart the populist Right with a whistle in his mouth, screaming for conservatives to “get out of the pool.” The imagery fits him perfectly. Pence increasingly resembles that obnoxious childhood lifeguard we all remember—the self-important scold, high on perceived power, perched way above everyone else. As such, Pence is convinced that enforcing his rules matters more than understanding why people jumped into the water in the first place.
  • DEI Effects On CIA Analyses And National Policymaking

    American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2026 | John A. Gentry
    Critics of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies often focus on issues such as their Marxist, racialist motives and implications for university admissions policies. However, CIA director John Ratcliffe’s recent decision to release several rescinded biased analyses to the public shows that DEI policies also have practical effects on national policy decision-making. Ratcliffe announced on February 20, 2026, that the CIA had rescinded 17 analytic reports that contained DEI-related biases and revised and re-released two others. The CIA declassified and released three of the recalled publications to show the kinds of biases embedded in the others. Ratcliffe said the action...
  • Liberal Outlet Politico: Democrats Trying ‘New’ Strategy of Blaming Trump for Everything

    When it comes to politics and the media, we live in very stupid times and this story is proof. Now that Democrats have utterly failed to redistrict the state of Virginia, the liberal media outlet Politico is reporting that the Dems are pivoting to a ‘new’ strategy of demonizing Trump and blaming him for everything. This is new? Really? That’s news to us. It sounds like the oldest Democrat strategy in the book. Haven’t they been doing this since at least 2015? From Politico: As Republicans carve up Black districts, Democrats pivot to a new midterm message Democrats are changing...
  • Louisville black history museum known for ‘shackling’ white visitors set to get $1M from taxpayers: ‘Peak white guilt theater’

    A Kentucky black history museum known for “shackling” patrons and posting “white guilt” videos is expected to receive a $1 million grant from the local city government. The Roots 101 African-American Museum in Louisville is set to receive the large sum from the local government as a part of a recently proposed budget. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said the funds will be used to establish a permanent home for the black history museum. “With this budget, we’re sharing more of our history, with all of its depth and complexity,” Greenberg said last month. The museum aims to “to empower visitors...

    Russia pummeled Ukraine’s capital with hundreds of drones and missiles early Thursday, the latest in a string of deadly Russian strikes this week. The attacks suggested that President Vladimir V. Putin had little intention of de-escalating his war, after he declared recently that he believed it was “coming to a close.” Explosions shook Kyiv, the capital, over several hours Thursday morning as Ukrainian forces tried to intercept and shoot down the drones and missiles, some of which evaded overwhelmed air-defense systems. The attack included cruise and ballistic missiles that Moscow often stockpiles for mass bombardments. As the sun rose, rescue...

    MOSCOW, May 14 (Reuters) - Russia is establishing a "full-fledged partnership" with Afghanistan's ruling Taliban and is encouraging ‌other countries in the region to expand cooperation ‌with Kabul, a senior Russian security official was quoted on Thursday ​as saying. Russia last year became the first country to formally recognise the Islamist Taliban government that seized power in August 2021 as U.S.-led forces staged a chaotic withdrawal ‌from Afghanistan after ⁠20 years of war. Interfax news agency quoted Russian official Sergei Shoigu as saying cooperation ⁠with Kabul was important for the security and development of the region. Shoigu, who is secretary...

    clip of Bongino thinking Rubio, filling in for Caroline Levitt as Press Sec, said some thing great, when really it shows Rubio doesn't understand some key things about The USA and it's foundations. Rubio basically says anyone can come from anywhere into the US and achieve (current system gives many incentives to foreignors over US Citizens), or be born of illegals in the US (and remain, abusing the system) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/628b7vqomIo
