Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed lawmakers had seen “no evidence” the Trump administration’s military strikes were on drug boats. Host Nicolle Wallace asked, “What briefings have you received on the success of striking drug traffickers? Have you seen evidence or images of drugs being found on the boats that have been struck?” Blumenthal said, “What briefings? Zero. And as you may know, I think it’s public by now, there was a briefing for Republican senators only, which is unprecedented. So we’ve seen no evidence, none whatsoever, as to who is in these boats, more than ten...

It's super weird to have a Republican in New England, and we conservatives need to sit back, shut up, and enjoy the ride. As far as I'm concerned, she gets a permanent "Get Out of Conservative Media Outrage" card. She's not a Thom Tillis or a Jim Lankford who talks a good game about being conservative and proceeds to stick us in the back.

A Polish court on Friday blocked the extradition to Germany of a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in the 2022 attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines and ordered his release, a ruling that was welcomed by Poland’s prime minister. Volodymyr Zhuravlov, 46, was arrested near Warsaw Sept. 30 on a German warrant. German prosecutors have described him as a trained diver and allege that he was part of a group that placed explosives on the pipelines near the Danish island of Bornholm three years ago. The Warsaw District Court rejected his extradition on Friday and ordered his immediate release....

Without mentioning his name, liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took a veiled shot at President Trump on Thursday evening. During remarks at an event for the American Bar Association in DC, Sotomayor told lawyers in attendance to stand up and fight against unprecedented attacks. “Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves. And our job is to be the champion of lost causes,” Sotomayor said referring to Trump’s executive actions against Deep State law firms. “But right now, we can’t lose the battles we are facing. And we need trained and passionate and committed...

While Trump was frequently “fact checked” and cut off by Muir and Davis, Harris was allowed to lie freely without any pushback. The hosts refused to press her on past support for a ban on fracking, healthcare for illegal aliens and other far-left claims, and refused to fact check Harris when she falsely claimed that Trump called Neo-Nazis “very fine people” after the Charlottesville rally. The false claim has been repeatedly debunked by major fact-checking outlets, though Harris was allowed to utter the false claim without pushback.

Former President Trump would not say whether he believes the COVID-19 vaccine works, explaining that he does not like to talk about getting the shot approved during his time in the White House because it’s a divisive issue among Republicans. Trump, in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier conducted Monday and aired Tuesday, referenced a “Democrat friend” who asked why he does not talk more about getting the COVID-19 vaccine approved just months after the pandemic started in the United States. “As you know, I got them done in nine months, and it was supposed to take anywhere...

Speaking in a YouTube interview with the Consortium News outlet on Friday, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who exposed the CIA’s purported sabotage attempt on the Nord Stream pipeline, accused the Biden administration of making “so many bad mistakes,” that “it’s impossible to believe just how dumb this leadership was.”“It was suicidal to think you can win that war, that Ukraine can win the war [against Russia]. There’s just too much corruption. That was a very, very bad decision. We should have been pushing for peace, we should have made an agreement,” the former Pulitzer Prize winner insisted.US President Joe Biden...

Attorney General Eric Schmitt is in good standing to receive a Trump endorsement. Vicky Hartzler has received key endorsements from U.S. Senator Josh Hawley. With a 50/50 Senate balance, Republican voters must choose the path of least resistance and ensure that Eric Greitens doesn’t become the nominee.

On Monday morning, Americans heard from former members of Donald Trump’s campaign and presidential administration who described unsuccessful efforts to disabuse him of various false claims about the 2020 election. Those tuning in to the hearing of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot learned how people like former attorney general William P. Barr tried to explain to Trump that he was wrong in his assertions about rampant election fraud, with Trump simply choosing to press forward with false claims anyway. Then, on Monday afternoon, Trump pressed forward with false claims anyway. The former president released a 12-page document...

Incumbent Ken Paxton-8 years in office. Shouldn't he move on to something else? George P's a Trump supporter who went against the entire Bush klan without disowning them. Too many here see him as the family scapegoat. He's been a loyal republican who didn't support Hillary. The left calls us all haters and I can see an element of it here. He'd do well at the job and the case can be made for a change based on party health alone.

Rep. Andy Biggs is spearheading efforts to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, accusing the agency of being corrupted by the Chinese government. The Arizona Republican introduced a bill on Friday that would require President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO and repeal a law that authorized the nation to join the agency, as well as prevent taxpayer money from going to them. “The organization has been compromised by China and has sabotaged many public health investigations - including the COVID investigation in Wuhan,” Mr. Biggs said. The bill received widespread support among Republicans, though...

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama visited the National Gallery of Art on April 28. The former president and first lady took in some of James Van Der Zee’s portraits from Harlem in the 1920s and ’30s and also visited the “Afro-Atlantic Histories” exhibit that’s on now. The Obamas had a private visit. They were shown around by the National Gallery’s director, Kaywin Feldman. Curator Diane Waggoner accompanied them on their tour of the Van Der Zee photographs, and curators Steven Nelson, Kanitra Fletcher, and Molly Donovan were with them when they viewed “Afro-Atlantic Histories.” The former first couple ended their...

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich urged Republicans this week to take advantage of the excesses of the Democrats to rebrand them as “Big Government Socialists.” Republicans currently enjoy a unique opportunity to show Americans just how far left the Democratic Party has swung, Gingrich observed in a September 13 essay.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn says he stands by his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci after the doctor appeared on Fox News and rebuked Cawthorn’s suggestion that legal action should be taken against Fauci. "Dr. Fauci broke his oath," Cawthorn told Fox News. "Not only his oath in Congress, but his Hippocratic oath as a doctor, to do no harm. I stand by my statements, and justice will be served." Earlier in the week, Cawthorn had referred to Fauci as a "punk" and a "pawn" of the communist Chinese government while also accusing him of lying to Congress.

During an appearance on Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsmaxTV’s “Greg Kelly Reports,” Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) followed up on her oped headlined “The Republican Party Has Failed America, And Here’s How It Needs To Change Now,” which was published on The Federalist website earlier this month. Noem told host Greg Kelly the GOP had not followed up on its promises on repealing ObamaCare and immigration.“Leadership has consequences, and we saw a Democratic leadership play out in our cities in our country in 2020 — violence, mobs, rioting, looting, lack of enforcement of laws,” she said. “That’s Democrat leadership on display. In...

Down to 8 pretty good teams. Unfortunately in each game one pretty good team lies down or doesn't show up. Baltimore should be in the Super Bowl and they didn't seem to even try. Minnesota was never in it. Injuries are too big a factor Seattle will have no offensive line going against 2 excellent players on the GB defensive line. Russell Wilson could still pull it out but after16/17 games I think too many teams just give up from exhaustion. It seems to happen year after year.

Just asking. She plays the damsel-in-distress rather well on Gutfield's show. Like Swift I enjoy looking at her. Like Swift she's not screwed up like her contemporaries. Plus she doesn't put herself in a position where she gets gets down and dirty with opponents. You can't help but like her. Out of our league right?
