His antics were not limited to simply noshing on a snack bar in a most disgusting manner. Watch the the full video of the incompetent Cheatle desperately trying to hang on to her job despite bipartisan calls for her to resign immediately and you will see the somewhat revolting antics of the Snack Bar Nosher for the first three hours. After that the cameraman probably got...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on CNN’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race that with Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, Democrats could win the House, Senate and White House. Swalwell said, “Today’s decision by Joe Biden to not seek reelection shows the difference between a selfless president and in Donald Trump a selfish person. And I’ve got a lot of gratitude toward the president for his entire career. He’s stepped up in oftentimes it was reluctantly when he could have devoted his priorities and other directions.”

House Democrats anguished over President Joe Biden’s spiral are consumed by one question: Can anything save their chances of flipping the House? So far only three endangered Democrats have publicly called for Biden to leave the presidential race. But behind the scenes, the dozens of battleground members and candidates whose races will determine the House majority are in a “hair-on-fire” level of panic, in the words of one House aide. Battleground members have placed urgent calls to leadership and Biden’s team, commissioned new polls back home and even mulled sending a letter to Biden himself, according to more than a...

Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) have both declared they have no confidence in Biden winning, while Adam Frisch, a Democrat running to fill the seat being vacated by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), said the president should withdraw.

Lloyd Doggett (Texas) on Tuesday became the first...

President Biden may soon face increased pressure from Democrats in Congress to drop out of the 2024 race, according to a report. At least 25 House Democrats are preparing to call for the 81-year-president to end his re-election bid in the wake of his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a House Democratic aide.

The single greatest criminal fraud perpetrated by the DOJ/FBI, in conjunction with their conspirators in the mainstream media and the Hillary Clinton campaign, was the creation, utilization, and submission of the Steele Dossier for unlawful surveillance purposes. In June 2016, the Steele Dossier was commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign, using campaign dollars laundered through their law firm Perkins Coie. These funds were paid to Fusion GPS, which hired Christopher Steele—a former MI-6 operative—to create this fabricated dossier. Steele was simultaneously an FBI informant on the government payroll and on the Democratic Party’s bankroll. At the time, no one outside...

The New Jersey AFL-CIO will not take sides in the hotly contested race for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district between Republican incumbent Tom Kean, Jr. and Democrat Sue Altman. That means national Democrats head into one of the races that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives without the backing of the state’s largest labor union. Altman was likely a casualty of her past disputes with the South Jersey Democratic machine and with the New Jersey AFL-CIO president, Charles Wowkanech. The New Jersey Globe has learned that leaders of the building trades unions had pushed for no...
