Washington — President Trump said he will deliver a prime-time address to the nation live from the White House on Wednesday night. The president did not say what the topic of his address will be. It's also not yet clear if the address will be from the Oval Office. "My Fellow Americans: I will be giving an ADDRESS TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9 P.M. EST.," he wrote on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon. "I look forward to 'seeing' you then. It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET...

Democratic lawmakers faced criticism this week for their behavior during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. Their protests, refusal to clap at key moments, and subsequent comments drew criticism from Republicans and from some in their own party. "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario traveled to Capitol Hill to track down Democratic lawmakers and ask why they refused to stand and clap for the nonpartisan moments in the address. "You didn't stand up for anything," Belisario noted to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. "The president got before the American people and didn’t talk about how he...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville criticized Democrats for their reactions to President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday, describing their behavior as "foolishness" on Wednesday. Carville expressed his disappointment with Democrats' messaging after Trump's speech, claiming that the Democratic Party needs to pinpoint members who excel at getting the party's message out, such as freshman Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. "Democrats want to believe that everyone is equal, or we're inclusive, so everybody — when it turns to communicating the party's message, in the image of the party, some people are just better than other people, okay?" Carville stated...

ABC News legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that all the Democratic lawmakers should have walked out during President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress. Hostin said, “You know, while I didn’t watch it, I was looking for signs of an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must be at this point. Not a resistance, because resistance is passive. Opposition is active. I think that what I saw when Representative Al Green stood up and said, ‘You don’t have a mandate to take away Medicaid,’ and he was tossed out, I...

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) declared Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that President Donald Trump lied blatantly in a mocking tone during his speech to a joint session of Congress. Host Chris Hayes said, “You were in that room last night if I’m not mistaken. There was a very long section. We played a little bit, but I mean, that whole section on the fraud and Social Security went he did a long riff each age bracket reading out these numbers, you could hear the boos, which I think were coming from Democrats. What was your reaction in that moment to...

President Donald Trump will address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4 at 9 p.m. ET. The forum is not officially a State of the Union address, which traditionally comes during the second, third and fourth year of a presidency. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., invited Trump earlier this month to address Congress on Tuesday. "Thanks to your strong leadership and bold action in the first days of your presidency, the United States is already experiencing a resurgence of patriotism, unity, and hope for the future," Johnson wrote in a letter to Trump first obtained by Fox News...

WASHINGTON — President Trump declared Monday “liberation day” for the country, vowing in a rousing inaugural speech that “the golden age of America begins right now.” The 47th president — roundly repudiating the Biden administration’s lefty legacy and “many years” of a “radical and corrupt establishment’’ — promised to bring about a “revolution of common sense. “From this moment on, America’s decline is over,” Trump, 78, told the packed crowd gathered inside the Capitol Rotunda for a pared-down event because of the dangerously cold weather outside. “There’s no nation like our nation. Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers....

MSNBC host Chris Hayes said Monday during President Donald Trump’s inaugural address that he seemed like “the cult leader taking a mulligan and telling you paradise is around the corner again.” Hayes said, “I remember being in that on that stage right next to President Barack Obama during that very, very cold morning. And the two inaugurations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden happened at moments of palpable, ubiquitous, and severe crisis, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, the worst pandemic in 100 years. I mean, thousands of Americans dying by the day, America not knowing whether the...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that while most Senate Democrats do not believe that the “core accomplishments” of the Biden-Harris administration were the wrong policies, “there were some key issues that were not addressed quickly enough or well enough. One of them was housing and another was border security.”

It is hypothetically possible to sit in Anytown, U.S.A., and request that a UOCAVA ballot be emailed to you, while claiming you are abroad.How long do you have to live in the United States before you can vote here? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is never. People born in other countries to parents who are U.S. citizens are themselves considered U.S. citizens and may vote in U.S. elections, even if they have never set foot in the United States and never intend to.These so-called “never resided” voters are welcome to vote absentee in all federal elections...

CHICAGO — President Biden gave a shouting and at times emotional speech Monday as he spoke to the Democratic National Convention after being forced to relinquish the party’s nomination — in remarks that, in a further indignity, were bumped out of primetime. “America, I love you!” Biden, 81, said, dabbing his eyes after an introduction from his daughter, Ashley Biden. The crowd — chanting “thank you, Joe!” — continued to applaud the outgoing president for several minutes before he kicked off his address. “Thank you Kamala, too,” Biden said when the supportive heckling persisted throughout his 51-minute speech, noting his...

After several very confusing days, Joe Biden finally emerged on Wednesday after dropping out of the presidential race over the weekend. Appearing very frail, the president addressed the nation from the Oval Office in what was billed as an explanation of why he abruptly stepped aside as the Democratic Party nominee. Unfortunately, though perhaps expectedly, Biden provided no real information at all. In fact, his clearly deteriorating condition combined with the things he said only served to deepen the scandal around him and Kamala Harris. Who is actually the president? Why is he remaining in office if he can't run...

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2-ranking Senate Democratic leader, on Tuesday said he would not have invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress.

Congressman Dusty Johnson, (R) South Dakota, has introduced legislation to remove an infringement on Second Amendment rights currently existing as part of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) paperwork requirements. A person must list a physical address to purchase a firearm from a federally licensed firearms dealer. They cannot purchase a firearm if they list a Post Office Box or a Private Mail Box (PMB) address on the Form 4473.

On Wednesday, CNN Chief National Affairs Analyst and host Kasie Hunt and CNN Political Correspondent Sara Murray reacted to an announcement from House Republicans that they had uncovered two 2019 wire transfers from Chinese nationals to Hunter Biden that listed his father’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address by stating that there’s not “any fire shown around the president” and there’s no indication Joe Biden got or knew about the money. On “CNN News Central,” Murray said, “House Republicans are launching this impeachment inquiry and they’re trying to make the argument that essentially there was no daylight between what Hunter...
