No one should care what Fauxcahontas has to say. Why should anyone care what a woman who stole a job from a legitimate minority at Harvard has to say about anything? Elizabeth Warren is melting down, arguing that having Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of Defense would make the U.S. less safe. When you look at this in the context of our current woke Department of Defense that’s unable to hit its recruiting goals, how would having a decorated veteran make us less safe? From an online report: Elizabeth Warren says Trump’s pick for defense secretary ‘must be rejected’Sen. Elizabeth...

President-elect Donald J. Trump tapped Fox and Friends co-host Pete Hegseth to run the Pentagon. It sent shockwaves through the political and media landscapes—many people don’t like the nomination, which means it’s good. It triggered yet another liberal meltdown over Mr. Hegseth’s supposed lack of experience. The man is a decorated combat veteran who has also worked for Concerned Veterans for America and Vets for Freedom. Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) tweet seems to insinuate that Hegseth never served, but that’s par for the course since this fake Indian is a grade-A moron. The tweet deserved to be scalped for its...

As the clock ticks toward President-elect Donald Trump's second term, Democrats are racing to fill dozens of judicial vacancies across federal courts. With just over two months to go until Trump becomes president, Senate Democrats are considering an aggressive effort in the next few weeks to confirm as many of President Biden's judicial appointments as possible during the lame-duck session. Republican control of both the White House and the Senate in January, would limit their ability to influence the federal judiciary. Senator Elizabeth Warren is among the Democrats pushing the efforts. "While still in charge of the Senate and the...

Hyperventilation about President-Elect Trump not yet signing an ethics agreement with GSA is fabricated nonsense. Read the actual law. The obligation to get this done is on GSA not the President-Elect.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said on Monday that President elect-Trump “and his transition team are already breaking” a law on presidential transition. “Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Warren said in a post on the social platform X. “I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.” “This is what illegal corruption looks like,” she added. Warren was responding to a report from CNN on Saturday that said a conflict of interest pledge included in the Presidential Transition Act was, in part,...

Vice President Kamala Harris hired a communications staffer this summer who boasts that he performs as a drag queen on the weekends. Eric Lipka, the Harris campaign’s Pennsylvania deputy press secretary, has gone by the drag queen names “Erotica the Drag Queen,” “Erotica,” and “Erica Lipka,” on social media, Fox News Digital reported, and his name has been featured in dozens of public Facebook posts. He danced and performed drag at a “Saint Saturday” event in Richmond, Virginia in January 2024, according to Fox, and in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware as well as various locations in Maryland, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C....

Too bad if something were to happen to it. You can tell how badly Trump’s McDonald’s coup worried Democrats by the fact that they immediately threatened the fast food chain. Senators Ron Wyden, Bob Case, and Elizabeth Warren sent this letter to McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski. I won’t go through it line by line, but here are some observations. The left-wing senators write: We write with concern regarding increases in fast food prices over the last several years and seeking information regarding McDonald’s pricing decisions. Prices of every commodity and service have risen sharply over the last few years. It...

Senate Democrats attacked McDonald’s on Tuesday for price gouging while it continues to “grow” profits and serve the needs of customers. The letter, written by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), underscores the success of former President Donald Trump’s campaign stop on Sunday when he worked a McDonald’s drive-thru window in Pennsylvania. Images and video of the former president helping customers to McDonald’s finest foods nearly broke the internet. Many of Trump’s critics heralded the gesture as great retail politics and a stroke of political genius.

Many of you may remember my reporting around "Operation Choke Point 2.0" from the spring of 2023; TLDR, Biden's financial regulators, namely the Fed, FDIC, and OCC, launched a crackdown on banks covering the crypto space. The first casualty was Silvergate Bank, which voluntarily liquidated. The standard reporting around Silvergate was that the bank lent to crypto depositors and those depositors were flighty; when rates rose, Silvergate suffered M2M losses on bond portfolios and ended up insolvent. Except that's not true. Silvergate weathered the storm, even though short sellers and members of Congress like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) encouraged a...

Martin County Sheriff's Office via AP ========================================================= Fox News has reported that the alleged suspect in the second Trump assassination attempt is Ryan Wesley Routh, as we reported earlier. He allegedly aimed a rifle through the fence on the golf course where Trump was. He was about 300-500 yards away. Law enforcement claimed he had an AK-47 with a scope and a Go-Pro camera at the fence. He also had a bag with ceramic plates. The Secret Service fired at him and he fled in a black SUV. A citizen saw him and took a picture of his license which...

The Hawaii man suspected in former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt on Sunday is a long-time Democrat, donating exclusively to the party’s candidates 19 times since 2019, records show.

Embattled Steward Health Care chief Ralph de la Torre said Wednesday that he will not comply with a subpoena to testify at a Senate hearing next week on the collapse of his hospital system, setting up a showdown with lawmakers who are threatening to hold him in contempt.De la Torre did not rule out appearing before Congress eventually, but said through an attorney it would be “wholly inappropriate” to testify before his company emerges from the complex bankruptcy proceedings that have followed for-profit Steward’s spectacular downfall. And that process took a substantial step forward Wednesday, as a federal judge overseeing...

Many Americans were surprised to recently see a coalition of the country’s most radical politicians — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Rep Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Sen. Richard Blumentha l, D-Conn., to name a few — teaming up to introduce heavy-handed legislation against the peer-to-peer payment companies (like PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and CashApp) that have improved all our lives. Blumenthal even went so far as to dispatch a separate letter to the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) demanding an investigation into Zelle... The Biden administration brass, especially CFPB Director Rohit Chopra, have fought aggressively to convince the American...

Shiva Ayyadurai is an entrepreneur, MIT graduate, Donald Trump-supporting Indian-born immigrant and U.S. citizen hoping that his outsider status will carry him to the U.S. Senate. A Republican, Ayyadurai declared on social media several weeks ago that he intends to challenge for Sen. Elizabeth Warren's seat in the 2018 election. He filed official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on March 17. Warren, a Democrat, is a former Harvard Law School professor who defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown in the 2012 election. In a Monday meeting with editors of The Sun, Ayyadurai portrayed himself as a "21st-century senator" with...

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that American women do not trust former President Donald Trump not to sign a national abortion ban if he is elected in November. Partial transcript as follows: KRISTEN WELKER: I want to start off by getting your reaction to what you just heard from Senator J.D. Vance. He says that if legislation banning abortion at the federal level arrived on Donald Trump’s desk, if he were to be elected, he believes he would veto it. What’s your reaction to that, Senator? WARREN: American women are not stupid, and we...

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris’s price-gouging proposal is. “Price gouging” is the focus of Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic agenda, her presidential campaign says. She’ll crack down on “excessive prices” and “excessive corporate profits,” particularly for groceries. So what level counts as “excessive,” you might ask? TBD, but Harris will ban it. That’s the thing about price gouging: As has been said of hardcore pornography, you know it when you see it. It’s not hard to figure out where this proposal came from. Voters want to blame someone for high grocery bills, and the presidential candidates have...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) slammed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for holding interest rates steady earlier this week after Friday’s jobs report came in weaker than expected. “Fed Chair Powell made a serious mistake not cutting interest rates,” Warren said in a post on social platform X. “He’s been warned over and over again that waiting too long risks driving the economy into a ditch.” “The jobs data is flashing red,” she added. “Powell needs to cancel his summer vacation and cut rates now — not wait 6 weeks.” The central bank opted Wednesday to maintain rates at a range...

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared that the only candidate to deliver a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens is Kamala Harris, promising the left she will "get it done" if elected.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called for creating a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants on Sunday, arguing Vice President Kamala Harris is the candidate to "get it done."

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that as president, Kamala Harris will work with Congress to “create a pathway to citizenship.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “President Biden charged Vice President Harris with addressing the root causes of mass migration at the border by going to those Central American countries. She’s consistently defended his handling of the border crisis. I don’t need to tell you voters overwhelmingly disapprove of how the Biden-Harris administration has handled the border by giving the nomination to one of the leaders of the border effort. So aren’t democrats doubling down...
