VIDEOBOGO Obama which consists of Senator Spartacus aka Corey Booker and Dollar Store Obama aka Hakeem Jeffries got together and decided to put on a performance art sit-in on the Capitol Steps. This is strange since this was conducted OUTDOORS plus there was NO threat of arrest. The fake "sit-in" went on for hours and hours chock full of excruciatingly BORING speeches much of which was about them pretending to revere the Constitution which many/most of their liberal friends have written off as being a fascist relic of the past which must be discarded. Finally, Senator Spartacus got sick and...

New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker are holding a livestreamed sit-in protest and discussion on Sunday from the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Titled "An Urgent Conversation with the American People," the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress' return to session on Monday. A statement released by both officials' offices said in part, "Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump's desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to...

This is [Expletive Deleted]. 💩 Minneapolis becomes the first city to let Muslim prayers to be played over loud speaker 5 times a day. But we can’t ring our Church bell, they’re banned. Muslims would never let Church bells ring in their country.

VIDEOWhat do you do if you are a Drama Queen famous for overacting? Why, you go on a highly performative fake filibuster if you are Senator Spartacus aka Cory Booker. It was a fake filibuster because, unlike a REAL filibuster, it did not delay either legislation or nominations. It was strictly Senator Spartacus auditioning to run for president again. And the end result was not strange new respect for him but just more laughter directed at Senator Spartacus grandstanding in a most ridiculous manner yet again.

VIDEOThe Liberal Pink Hat Lady is the comedy gift that keeps on giving (whether or not she is wearing her pink hat). And now the comedy comes in the form of her angry MELTDOWN over Chuck Schumer betraying her by caving to the nasty Republicans so the Liberal Pink Hat Lady ranted that she is done, Done, DONE with the Democrat party. Well, until the very next day. So what changed? A political Savior, "The Love Of My Life," entered the scene and completely washed away her angst over the Democrats to the extent that she is once again a...

Joshua Schulte, a former CIA computer engineer suspected of leaking classified hacking tools to WikiLeaks, said he is being subjected to “torture” while awaiting trial for espionage. Mr. Schulte, 30, said he is being inexplicably held in solitary confinement and denied access to his medication, writing materials, legal documents and lawyer, according to a letter addressed to U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty filed in Manhattan federal court Monday. “My fellow slaves constantly scream, pound and claw at their cages attempting to get attention for basic needs to be fulfilled. I count myself lucky to be able to eat,” he wrote...

I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame. I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country...

In a video aired today on Morning Joe, Caroline Kennedy, opposing her cousin RFK Jr.'s nomination as head of HHS, criticized him in the harshest terms, calling him unfit to serve. Among other things, Caroline branded RFK a "predator," and even accused him of responsibility for the death of relatives, whom, according to her, he enticed into drug abuse. Rough stuff. Caroline had the right to make her statement. But in praising her, Mika Brzezinski went over the top, getting choked up when she talked about how "painful" it was for Caroline to go public, she's a "very private person."...

Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.

A prominent community and civil rights activist set himself on fire last week near Santa Cruz City Hall, just hours after President Donald Trump took his oath of office and a heavily attended Martin Luther King Jr. Day march had cleared in downtown Santa Cruz on Jan. 20. Firefighters extinguished the flames while the activist was standing atop the Black Lives Matter street mural in front of city hall. The person was badly burned and airlifted to a nearby trauma unit, according to police and fire scanners.

Former New York Times columnist and pseudo-economics savant Paul Krugman clearly isn’t taking retirement too well, as he’s taken to going on rants against his former employer and President Donald Trump, who lives rent-free in his brain. In a January 24 interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, Krugman expressed his “rage” at his editors, which apparently began to balk at the extremism that plagued his columns (shocker). “I’ve always been very, very lightly edited on the column,” Krugman whined. “And that stopped being the case [in 2024]. The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my...

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) launched an unhinged rant Sunday against President-elect Donald Trump — claiming the nation was on the “eve of an authoritarian administration.” The lefty lawmaker representing parts of Queens and the Bronx let loose during a series of Instagram videos in which she slammed TikTok for crediting Trump for the social media platform’s return after it was briefly offline in the United States this weekend. “We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration,” the congresswoman said a day before Trump’s inauguration. “This is what 21st-century fascism is starting to look like.”

@RandPaul ICYMI: I join @tiktok_us today as a form of civil disobedience. To the 170 million Americans using @tiktok_us: Don’t give in and don’t give up. Resist.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul joined TikTok on Saturday to protest the app's impending ban. Paul proceeded to post a singular video to his account, explaining why he had joined the app just as it is about to go offline. "Why am I joining TikTok just as the government ban begins?" Paul said in the video. "Because I don't like being told what to do. I don't like being told what I can think or what I can say. The courts may think there's an exemption to the First Amendment. I don't. I joined TikTok today as a form of civil...

All that was missing was Joe Scarborough looking into the camera and saying—à la his recent claim that the current Biden was the best Biden ever and f-you if you didn't believe it—that Jimmy Carter was the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln. Today's episode Morning Joe engaged in some world-class revisionism in praise of Carter. Incredibly, citing supposed Soviet views at the time, Scarborough credited Carter [and Mika's dad Zbigniew Brzezinski] more than Reagan, for the fall of the Soviet Union.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The Reformation Red Pill podcast has been permanently deplatformed by Patreon over false claims that they sell literal red pills, which the crowdfunding giant claims are a violation of the company’s terms and service regarding offering funds for ingestible items. Hosted by Joshua Haymes and Brooks Potteiger, the discussion on the Reformation Red Pill podcast runs the gamut between eschatology, baptism, theonomy, Kuyperian sphere sovereignty, and more, with recent shows covering theonomy, Dr. James White’s journey to Postmillenialmsim, political theology, arguing for paedobaptism, a few swipes at Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh, and a discussion of the fall of Steve...

Heading into a second term, New Yorker editor David Remnick says Donald Trump's anger "has been never so intense as it's been against the press."

here’s this woman on TikTok called Doormat Mom, and she’s stirring the pot with some pretty controversial stuff about her estranged kids. Now, she’s asking if it’s okay to leave them out of her will. “Should I include, axe, or modify? What’s the deal with ungrateful adult children and inheritances?” “What’s the kids’ side of the story?” More than 1200 people answered her. Some viewers are like, “Heck yes, cut them out!” while others are saying, “What about the kids’ side of the story?” A few are even suggesting leaving money to the grandkids, but only if the parents don’t...
