“This town is now as nervous as it’s ever been.” That’s Congressman Chip Roy’s assessment of the mood in Washington, D.C., since President Trump’s return to the White House. It’s one of several dozen refreshingly blunt descriptions of American politics in Ned Ryun’s new documentary based on his book, American Leviathan. The documentary is available to anyone with an Internet connection, and it is nothing short of a declaration of war on the administrative state. I highlighted Ryun’s book when it came out last September for several reasons. First, it is a remarkably clear description of the ideas, people, and...

Trump started speaking about 12:18 ET. Crowd is really energized, nobody leaving. His whole family was there minus Melania and Barron, everyone else was there, even Tiffany and her husband,....his last campaign, his last campaign speech. We are lucky to live right now. God bless President Trump! MAGA! MAGA! Speech ends at 2:09am ET (91 minutes, 4th speech of the day for him. Kamala's already in bed. She doesn't want to wake up.

Former California first lady and journalist Maria Shriver revealed that only “pre-determined questions” were allowed to be asked of Vice President Kamala Harris at a Michigan town hall event on Monday. “Are we going to be able to ask a question?” a woman attending the Oakland County event asked Shriver ahead of Harris taking the stage with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, according to the Daily Mail. Shriver shut her down. “You’re not, unfortunately, we have some pre-determined questions,” the former “Dateline” correspondent replied. “Hopefully I’ll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head,”...

BREAKING REPORT: New post debate CSPAN POLL currently has Trump WINNING THE DEBATE by almost 35 points..

VIDEOHave you ever noticed how when leftist partisan hacks, such as election "expert" David Becker, appear on C-SPAN they try to present an image of someone above politics who is only seeking the truth? Well, that is exactly what David Becker attempted during his C-SPAN appearance on Washington Journal on January 3, 2024. Unfortunately for him, Laura Loomer exposed him as the leftist partisan hack that he is in May 2023 during a contentious street interview.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a savvy financial move, internet sex-trafficking giant Pornhub has acquired the television network C-Span after realizing the Federal government was staffed by a bunch of totally depraved and sexually perverted weirdos. "This makes all the sense in the world," said company CEO Feras Antoon. "These senators, representatives, and staffers on Capitol Hill are exactly who we look for in, uh, talent. Without exaggeration, Washington is chock-full of narcissistic, sociopathic degenerates who would do anything in front of a camera to get attention." Mr. Antoon went on to explain how the decision to acquire C-Span was made...

The Democrat-led House Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6 doctored a key piece of its evidence, adding audio to silent U.S. Capitol Police security footage used to create a dramatic video montage for the opening of its primetime hearings last summer, according to a Just the News review of the original raw footage and interviews. In at least two instances identified by Just the News, the panel's sizzle reel that aired live and on C-SPAN last June failed to identify that it had overdubbed audio from another, unidentified source onto the silent footage. Multiple current and former Capitol Police officials...

The lights were cut, the mics were not so it looks suspicious. In recess now

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy exchange with reporter on not placing Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Eric Swallwell (D-CA) on the House Intelligence Committee:

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is introducing an amendment to the House rules on Tuesday to allow C-SPAN cameras on the House floor during normal proceedings. The amendment would require the speaker of the House to allow C-SPAN to broadcast the floor proceedings of the House, much like during the contentious House speaker vote last week. "I've received a lot of feedback from constituents about how interesting it was, and that you were able to see in real time how our government is functioning, what alliances are being created, what discussions are being had, what animated moments drive the action," Gaetz...

We have a double header of our favorites coming up on CSPAN2 at 1:15 EDT in 10 minutes or later if you want to go to the CSPAN cast I link, we have starting a 1:15 Larry Schweikert, Dragonslayers followed by James O'Keefe discussing his book, American Muckraker.

This hearing is now live. There is a ton of testimony against the vaccine. One victim talked about his wife taking part in the vaccine trials. When she had a bad reaction to the first shot, she was removed from the trial. And having been removed from the trial, her reaction was also removed from the trial data. So much corruption.

John Lott, founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, argued that the conventional wisdom about guns and gun regulation is incorrect. He said the media does a poor job of analyzing gun-related events, especially mass shootings

Freelance reporter Tayler Hansen was at the Capitol building covering the action as it unfolded on Jan. 6. According to a RealClearInvestigations report published on Wednesday, Hansen was standing outside the Speaker’s Lobby with 35-year-old Air Force veteran and Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt when she was shot. In an April 13 Twitter post, Hansen named Lt. Michael L. Byrd as the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Babbitt. On Saturday, Hansen posted a C-SPAN video of Timothy Blodgett, the acting sergeant at arms for the House of Representatives, speaking before a Feb. 21 hearing of the House Legislative...

C-SPAN’s first post-Donald Trump survey of greatest presidents indicates impeachment really is a scar on a president’s legacy—which should please House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who all but stated that was her goal. Trump’s impeachment seems to have made the topic fresh enough to have tainted (or re-tainted) the legacies of Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. And, perhaps nominally Andrew Johnson. As noted in my book “Abuse of Power,” one day after Trump’s acquittal in the first impeachment over non-criminal articles, an angry Pelosi said at a press conference: “You’re impeached forever. You’re never getting rid of that scar.” In an...

Florida-based political commentator Brian Craig talked about his podcast and other political news of the day.

Democrat Senator Ben Cardin, was caught on a C-SPAN hot mic telling Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg that Democrats will “most likely have to use reconciliation” on an infrastructure package as they did with the Covid relief bill. “Ultimately it’s going to be put together similar to how the Rescue Plan was put together… Most likely you’re going to have to use reconciliation,” admitted the Senator. “The Republicans will be with you to a point, and then…” Cardin said. Democrat Senators went around Republicans by passing the Covid relief bill through budget reconciliation, a process that requires only a simple majority...
