Jim Ferguson @JimFergusonUK 🔥 WOW. You actually can’t make this up… Hakeem Jeffries just stood in front of the cameras and claimed: • “It’s a lie.” • “It’s a clown show.” • “I never met Epstein.” • “I never took his money.” Except… the financial records exist. The emails exist. The transactions are documented. You can deny reality, but you can’t erase a paper trail. For YEARS the American people were told that anyone who asked questions about Epstein was a conspiracy theorist. Now the very people who screamed “transparency!” are panicking because their own names are surfacing. The hypocrisy...

A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss President Trump’s use of tariffs. He was also optimistic that the Supreme Court would side with President Donald Trump on emergency tariffs. “What did and didn’t get accomplished when Presidents Trump and Xi met face to face?” Bream asked. “What do you make of his characterization of what happened in China?” Bream referencing Rep Hakeem Jeffries’ inaccurate comments on President Trump. “I think it’s ignorant, and I think it’s kind of sad he has no idea how ignorant he is, because I was in the room and I can...

It looks like CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Becky Quick is fed up with the Democrats’ hypocritical nonsense over the ongoing government shutdown. Quick skewered House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) during the October 24 edition of Squawk Box. Quick scolded him over Obamacare subsidies: “What you’re asking the Republicans to do right now when they control the White House, the Senate and the House is effectively what the Democrats could not do when they controlled all three heads of government themselves,” The CNBC personality continued, with Jeffries just staring stone-faced: “The three-year set up for the expiration of these credits...

Despite calls for many Democratic politicians and pundits to temper their inflammatory rhetoric, this week has proven a further escalation in this dangerous form of rage rhetoric. DNC Chair Ken Martin just told MSNBC’s “The Beat” that “we may be nearing” the moment when “elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on people to “forcefully rise up.” With political violence on the rise, these leaders are clearly fueling the mob in hopes that they and their party can ride the wave of rage back into power. History suggests that it is...

Earlier this week, the public learned about the arrest of a Jan. 6 rioter who allegedly threatened to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, after he was freed from prison in January thanks to a pardon from Donald Trump. Two days later, in response to a reporter’s question, the president commented on the matter for the first time. “You have thousands of people that we’re dealing with and, you know, if one goes haywire...,” Trump said, before changing the subject midsentence. He seemed to imply that only one of the beneficiaries of his Jan. 6 pardons has landed in legal...

The House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor on Friday, ending a four-month standoff that left the Democratic nominee without the backing of one of the party’s most powerful figures until the day before early voting begins. The announcement arrives after months of pressure from progressives in Congress and after the top Democrat has been repeatedly grilled by reporters about his reluctance to support his party’s candidate. “Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support...

🚨 BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries just got brutally EMBARRASSED on national television - gets CALLED OUT for his hypocrisy "What you're asking Republicans to do when they control the White House, Senate and House is what the DEMOCRATS could NOT do when you controlled all 3 heads of government!" "The 3 year setup for the expiration of [Obamacare] credits was put in when *YOU* controlled the White House, House and Senate." "This is a setup of your OWN creation! NOW you want the Republicans to do something you DIDN'T do when you were in power?" 🔥🔥 Hakeem is flailing. That's brutal.

Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) comments about the ongoing government shutdown were “going to get someone killed.” A day earlier on CNN, Johnson said, “No, we’re not going to allow Chuck Schumer to play selfish political games and hold the American people hostage. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists.” Jeffries said, “That type of language is reckless, it’s irresponsible, and it’s going to get someone killed. What do these folks not understand as it relates to the language that they continue to use? We should be...

As Republicans across the country pursue new congressional maps to boost their party ahead of next year's midterm elections, Democrats are ramping up pressure on states where they can respond. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has held discussions with members of the Maryland delegation and Democratic Gov. Wes Moore in recent weeks about possible mid-decade redistricting efforts, according to a source with knowledge of the conversations. The source also said Jeffries spoke with members of the Illinois delegation about drawing new district lines, as Politico first reported. Maryland has just one Republican, Rep. Andy Harris, in its eight-member House...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., stood by Virginia’s embattled Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones who sent text messages fantasizing about putting "two bullets" in his Republican rival's head and also suggested his ‘fascist’ children should die as well. As Jones faces mounting calls to drop out of his race because of the text scandal, with his GOP opponent going so far as saying he should disqualify himself at a Thursday night debate, Jeffries suggested that Jones already did the right thing by apologizing. "The attorney general candidate has appropriately apologized for his remarks, and I know his remarks...

Democrats have a problem, and his name is Hakeem Jeffries. The House Minority Leader, who supposedly represents the future of the Democratic Party, is facing a rebellion from within his own ranks that would make even Nancy Pelosi raise an eyebrow. According to an Axios survey of 113 Democratic incumbents and challengers in competitive House races, only 24 candidates are fully committed to backing Jeffries for another term. That's right: Fewer than a quarter of Democrats running in winnable races are willing to go all-in on their current leader. The numbers tell a brutal story. Twenty respondents flat-out said they...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Tuesday that he is on board with a proposal to have a conversation with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on C-Span. . “I look forward to that,” Jeffries told reporters in Washington. “We’re going to try to get it scheduled, absolutely,” he promised, referencing a possible joint appearance on C-Span’s new program Ceasefire. The development could set the two party leaders in the House up for a rousing debate over the government shutdown, which entered its 15th day on Wednesday. Johnson has declared he has no intention of accepting Jeffries’s offer to do...

There’s no doubt Letitia James still wants to destroy Donald Trump. New York’s Democratic attorney general, who won office on a campaign pledge to pursue Trump, who filed a meritless lawsuit to destroy Trump’s business empire and with a sympathetic judge won a $454 million verdict, who cheered as her Democratic colleague, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, prosecuted Trump on flimsy charges of fraud and convinced a deep-blue Manhattan jury to convict — after all that, Letitia James is still at it.“I’m not afraid of no president,” James shouted during a speech at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in April...

When one thinks of the Democratic Party in 2025, most don’t think of compassion or relatability. Instead, anger is the first word that usually comes to mind. Here are ten examples of anger on display during Trump’s second term: “This dude [Ted Cruz] has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right? Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all!” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). “[Trump senior advisor] Stephen Miller needs to be THUMPED! That guy’s a freaking worm. I would be willing to go to jail for – I mean, how much [time] would I get...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lost his temper and started a verbal brawl in the House hallway on Wednesday after a GOP congressman approached him with a compromise related to the government shutdown caused by the Democrats. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Schumer Shutdown took effect at 12:01 am on October 1 after two measures to avert the government shutdown failed in the Senate. The measures needed 60 votes to pass. The GOP-backed measure failed to pass in a 55-45 vote – Rand Paul voted with the Democrats. The Democrats claimed that blocking the bill was necessary to ensure...

MANCHESTER, U.K. — Police in Great Britain are working to determine the motive of a man named Jihad Jewkiller who attacked a synagogue earlier this week. "So far we have no idea why Mr. Jewkiller would have attacked a synagogue," U.K. police officer Cecil Landers told reporters. "His social media profile, replete with messages about conducting a jihad against the Jews, has so far been unhelpful. We promise that we will continue to investigate what could have motivated such a surprising rampage." Jewkiller's family said the man is fueled by deep hatred for members of the Jewish faith and that...

We’ve seen that Democrats don’t seem to understand some of the basic principles of the Constitution. Or perhaps, more accurately, don’t seem to care about complying with it. We’ve also seen that they don’t understand that Joe Biden isn’t king. He doesn’t get to declare, by unilateral fiat, the cancellation of student debt. That’s not within his Constitutional power, no matter what Democratic politicians may think. But they wanted to do it to pay off their base for their votes. So, they threw a tantrum on the steps of the Supreme Court. All they understand is that they should get...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) proudly announced the names of the other theater-kid members he wants to join him on a new subcommittee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, and it goes as badly as you imagine. To kick things off with this clown car, Jeffries named Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be the lead Democrat on the new subcommittee. And as you can expect, Swalwell took the mic and suggested J6 was just like other days that will live in infamy in our history, like Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001. It’s almost too dumb to respond...
