      To help Social Security and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries cope with higher prices, a group of Democratic senators are proposing to increase benefits by $200 per month for six months. The bill — called the Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act — is backed by Democratic Senators including Mark Kelly of Arizona, Alex Padilla of California, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Angela Alsobrooks and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tina Smith of Minnesota, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer of New York, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Peter Welch of Vermont. The leaders plan to introduce the proposal on...
    
  
  
    
    
      Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is torching his own party as the federal shutdown threatens to cut off food assistance for millions — and he’s warning Democrats are playing a dangerous political game. The Pennsylvania Democrat blasted his colleagues Tuesday as officials from 25 states and Washington, D.C., sued President Donald Trump’s administration over the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding. The USDA has refused to dip into a roughly $5 billion reserve to cover November benefits, saying “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.” States that pay upfront won’t be reimbursed. Democrats and advocacy groups insist...
    
  
  
    
    
      Democratic politicians throughout California — those already in office and those who want in — assume that voters will rearrange the state’s 52 congressional districts next month and create new career opportunities. The assumption is well grounded. A recent CBS News poll found 62% of the state’s likely voters, driven by disdain for President Donald Trump, will enact Proposition 50, a plan to shift five more congressional seats to Democrats even though they already have 43. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s gerrymander would offset pro-Republican redistricting schemes in Texas and other states that Trump seeks to retain, or perhaps expand, the GOP’s...
    
  
  
    
    
      As the clock ticks down the last days before the 2025 elections, we’re hearing more calls for the GOP and conservatives in general to intervene in the NYC election to prevent Zohran Mamdani from being elected mayor. What we don’t hear is an answer to the question of why? Why, exactly, should the GOP and the MAGA movement waste time, effort, and political capital to prevent the Democrats from throwing themselves off the cliff? Why write another chapter in the never-ending saga of Republicans pulling Dem chestnuts out of the fire and the getting kicked in the face immediately afterward?...
    
  
  
    
    
      The recent news cycle has showcased stunning examples of leftists earning near-constant ridicule as their fabrications blow up in their faces. The Left's moral posturing crumbles under even cursory scrutiny and reveals a consistent pattern of hypocrisy, fabrication, and embrace of extremism. References to pots and kettles, glass houses, specks, beams, rakes, and petards are all getting a workout, and it's glorious to behold. Conservatives are basking in schadenfreude, needing only videos of Democrats performing perp walks to make our joy complete. New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani claimed his hijab-wearing aunt faced Islamophobic harassment on the subway post-9/11, and tried...
    
  
  
    
    
      House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been pressuring states to redistrict their maps to give the Democrats more seats. Maryland and Illinois won’t comply. Illinois Out of all the states, Jeffries targeted Illinois? Really? The Democrats outnumber the Republicans 14 to 3. The new map would make it 15-2. I guess one is better than nothing for these people. Also, Illinois is beyond corrupt, so it’s probably the party’s best bet. Jeffries met with the representatives “whose districts could be redrawn.” Blacks hold those four districts. Yes, it’s all about race. God forbid we make it about population size. Oh,...
    
  
  
    
    
      Democrat US Senators are not having it good lately even on left wing TV. The female Senator from New Mexico Melanie Stansbury get told off on CNN for denying Democrats were responsible for tho Shutdown, and Democrat Senator Welsh got told off on CNBC for Democrats using blackmail tactics. Meanwhile Schumer has a wish list of $1.5 Trillion made of garbage including global LGBTQ plus nonsense in the Balkans, Africa etc. As we speak Republicans in congress/Trump continue to rise in the polls as Democrats in congress fall to new lows.
    
  
  
    
    
      The Senate passed a resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats to rebuke the administration’s trade policies a day after they voted to terminate tariffs on Brazil. Sens. Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and former Republican Leader Mitch McConnell crossed the aisle to side with Democrats in the 50 to 46 vote. They all previously voted to block the Canada tariffs in April.
    
  
  
    
    
      The Democratic Party has spent most of the past decade deciding to lose. Or so argues a new report from Welcome PAC, an organization that backs center-left candidates, so as to build “a big-tent Democratic Party.”It is no secret that the Democrats are in a sorry state. They’ve lost to an exceptionally unpopular Republican presidential nominee twice in the last nine years. They have long odds of regaining control of the Senate next year and aren’t even certain to retake the House of Representatives. They’re historically unpopular, having lost ground with much of the party’s traditional base — including voters...
    
  
  
    
    
      “Nazi bootlickers” are running rampant in Milford, Conn. — and apparently I’m one of them.That is, according to a local Democratic committee member who hurled invective at me and other Republican aldermen at a public meeting this month.The accusation reflected a growing national sickness: The harsh political rhetoric that led to Charlie Kirk’s assassination is eating away at the roots of American politics — our local town councils.

      A progressive Democratic candidate may be headed to the slammer before she even gets a chance at going to Congress.Kat Abughazaleh, a former Media Matters journalist running to represent Illinois’ 9th District in the House of Representatives, was charged by the Department of Justice for allegedly assaulting an ICE officer.She is charged with two counts of conspiracy to impede or injure an ICE officer, along with assaulting or impeding that officer while he was on duty.The indictment, which was filed on October 23, accuses Abughazaleh, as well as five others, of attacking an ICE agent’s vehicle by banging aggressive on...
    
  
  
    
    
      The recent appearance of gubernatorial candidate Democrat Abigail Spanberger at the Virginia NAACP's annual convention set off a predictable online firestorm.

      “Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance,” the website reads. This USDA is one of several federal agencies that have displayed messages seeking to...
    
  
  
    
    
      The Arctic Frost investigation was a codenamed FBI probe launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration. Originally, we were told it was an investigation into the legitimate alternative electors from the 2020 election. On Tuesday, we found out that the investigation was much more than that. It now appears that Arctic Frost, launched by Jack Smith and the Biden regime, was an attempt to wipe out MAGA and to persecute many of the top MAGA personalities. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released new Arctic Frost documents, which revealed the investigation was much...
    
  
  
    
    
      I always say it is the audience that counts. No matter what idiocy the leaders on both sides of the political spectrum might propose, the real future is determined by what their base wants. It is now very clear that the base of the Democratic Party is driven entirely by hate, envy, and a lust for power, based on an ignorance of history that is appalling. And my saying this not simply an opinion. It is founded on what that base itself has said repeatedly in the past year. First that base has increasingly thrown its support behind Hamas and...
    
  
  
    
    
      Even as congressional Democrats hang tough on their demands for an Obamacare subsidy extension deal before they’ll agree to a reopening of the federal government, one of their most conspicuous allies in this standoff, the American Federation of Government Employees, has asked them to call it all off. AFGE is the largest federal employee union, representing approximately 820,000 workers across many agencies. This is not the first time AFGE has called for an end to the government shutdown, but it is the first time the union has backed the approved GOP avenue for getting out of the mess: a “clean...
    
  
  
    
    
      There's stupid, and then there's Democrat stupid. Now I don't mean stupid as in low IQ—although there are plenty of low IQ Democrats, the same applies to people from all walks of life. Instead, I mean "stupid" in the sense that one has priorities that don't align with any sane goals, but rather are driven by emotions and desires that bear no relationship to achieving them. There are lots of high-IQ stupid people in this sense. Democrats own a particular brand of stupid these days: emotional incontinence, which is expressed most commonly as Trump Derangement Syndrome. If Donald Trump is...
    
  
  
    
    
      Democrats are facing pressure from the nation's biggest federal worker union to back a Republican plan to end the government shutdown immediately. The American Federation of Government Employees called on Democrats to advance a continuing resolution that the GOP has been trying to pass since the government shutdown began 28 days ago.
    
  
  
    
    
      Democrats appear to be unmoved by fresh demands from the largest federal employees’ union to reopen the government, a sign that the shutdown stalemate between lawmakers will continue as government workers increasingly feel the pain during the process. It’s the latest example of how pressure points have not had the power to bring an end to the current shutdown, which is already the second longest in US history with no end in sight. Over one million federal workers are going unpaid as the impasse drags on and some are turning to food pantries. Democrats were quick to say they care...
    
  
  
    
    
      On a sweltering New Orleans evening in July, the final night of the 2028 Democratic National Convention, the party chair introduces its new presidential nominee. “With great pride, I present to you proud and patriotic Democrats our chosen nominee and the next president of the United States of America, Dr. Josh Green!” Josh Green? Come on! How is this possible? He doesn’t even register in the polls. Get serious. Green himself says it is “highly unlikely” that he will be president as he, in NBC’s words, “toyed rhetorically” with the possibility of leading the country. Translation: “Maybe, maybe maybe. Pretty...
