A Democratic House lawmaker, known for his jaw-dropping remarks, repurposed a Holocaust-era poem on Wednesday to argue that the Trump administration is targeting “Latinos outside of the Home Depots.” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), who once worried Guam could sink from overpopulation, subjected lawmakers to his bizarre variation of German theologian Martin Niemöller’s famous “First They Came For …” poem during a House Judiciary Committee hearing – leaving some people stunned. “You know, first they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots, trying to get work so that they could feed their families,” Johnson began. “And I didn’t say...

Colorado’s left-wing Governor, Jared Polis, says it is “dumb” to oppose the H-1B program that delivers thousands of tuition-paying foreign graduates into the careers needed by well-trained Colorado graduates. Polis told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins on December 26: Look, we have world-class universities here, University of Colorado at Boulder [and] Colorado State University. Students from across the world come here. And one of the stupidest things we do as a nation is when they get their degree, or their graduate degree, it could be a PhD in physics, in engineering, we literally say, ‘You’re not allowed to work in this country,...

Two days after President Biden called former President Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage,” a top campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris implied women around the Republican presidential nominee were weak and dumb — though he later walked back his statement after it sparked widespread fury.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump campaign is blasting Mark Cuban, a top surrogate for Kamala Harris, for "extremely insulting" comments against women who support former President Donald Trump, demanding the vice president "immediately condemn" his remarks. "Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and now Kamala’s top surrogate Mark Cuban insinuated female Trump supporters are ‘weak and dumb,’" Leavitt told Fox News Digital. "This is extremely insulting to the thousands of women who work for President Trump, and the tens of millions of women who are voting for him," Leavitt said.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that no one listened to the Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) because he says “dumb” and “pointless” things.

Former Trump administration communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump keeps calling Vice President Kamala Harris, he will increase her voter base. Scaramucci said, “The sexism and the attacks that worked in 2016 that frankly Baby Boomer voters are used to is not something that the Generation X or Z have a taste for. President Trump can’t land a punch yet. He’s trying to find something that’s going to land on Vice President Harris, but I’ll tell you what, you want to call her dumb as a rock or DEI candidate, if...

Donald Trump told The Post on Monday that Veep Kamala Harris is “vicious and dumb,” railing against his potential presidential rival in one of his first interviews since President Biden dropped his bid for a second term. “There are two words to describe Kamala Harris. Vicious and dumb, it’s a bad combination,” the 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee said the day after Biden dropped out of the race and urged Democrats to unite behind his vice president as the party’s top candidate in the Nov. 5 election. ...

Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has previously endorsed Florida Governor Ron Desantis, is now seemingly attempting to undermine his own party by proposing a resolution urging Kamala Harris to initiate proceedings under the 25th Amendment to declare Joe Biden unfit for office. ....

His proposed resolution seeks to use the 25th Amendment as a tool to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties, a move that some critics are calling the “dumbest thing” to do.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) called Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges “kinda dumb” in a post on the social platform X, minutes after the verdict was announced. Hunter Biden — the second-oldest son of President Biden — was convicted Tuesday afternoon on three federal gun charges. The felony charges alleged President Biden’s son lied about his sobriety when obtaining a gun in 2018, and illegally possessed the gun for 11 days.

Amid the impasse, McCarthy is floating a plan that would reinstall him as speaker and make Jordan, a conservative Trump ally, the assistant speaker, according to three sources familiar with McCarthy’s pitch. Asked why the idea — which lacks key details, like how it would be enacted and whether it could even gain enough traction to happen — was being floated now, a GOP lawmaker replied: “We’re desperate.” While the idea might seem far-fetched and it has not been pitched broadly within the GOP Conference, it is being discussed among some Republicans after Emmer, the third GOP nominee, dropped his...

I hadn’t seen this survey by the Cato Institute until today but it’s really striking. It seems that a shockingly high percentage of Gen Z would be okay with in-home government surveillance. If that sounds like something out of George Orwell’s 1984, that’s exactly how CATO saw it.In the book 1984, citizens of the fictional nation Oceania are under constant government surveillance, including in their own homes. Devices called telescreens display propaganda and record peoples’ actions, allowing the government to monitor people even in what should be the most private place they know—their homes. This type of behavior is meant...
