It’s been obvious for a while now that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s threat to take down Speaker Mike Johnson via a motion to vacate the chair — the same device that ejected MTG’s close friend Kevin McCarthy last fall — isn’t going to succeed. Only two House Republicans, notorious extremists Thomas Massie and Paul Gosar, have signed on to MTG’s draft motion to get rid of Johnson in retaliation for his repeated cooperation with Democrats on spending and foreign-aid measures. And a host of other House Freedom Caucus types are on record making it clear they aren’t interested in another bloodbath...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM to discuss her effort, as expressed by host Matt Boyle, to “expose Speaker Mike Johnson’s power-sharing agreement with the Democrats.” Greene announced Wednesday she will force a vote on a motion to vacate on the floor after House Democrat leadership said that they would protect Johnson’s (R-LA) speakership.

GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to shame the so-called "uniparty" of pro-Ukraine Republicans and Democrats has backfired. During a Wednesday press conference on her plan to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson from leadership over the passage of $61 billion in Ukraine aid, Greene displayed a blue and yellow "MUGA" ("Make Ukraine Great Again") hat, a reference to the MAGA slogan often associated with former President Donald Trump.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), who has been under the microscope this week for an anecdote about killing her dog, defended her actions Wednesday, saying she shot the “dangerous” pup in order to protect her children. “It was a dog that was extremely dangerous,” Noem said Wednesday on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “It had come to us from a family who had found her way too aggressive.” “We were her second chance. And she was — the day she was put down was a day that she massacred livestock that were part of our neighbors,” she continued. “She attacked me....

Very drunk Idaho man Clarence Yoder tried it, and as the saying goes, he found out. Police caught up with Yoder at the Yellowstone hospital and arrested him. He was charged with disorderly conduct, approaching wildlife, disturbing wildlife, and being intoxicated "to a degree that may endanger oneself".

Rudy Giuliani has been making unauthorized payments on his credit card, a committee of his bankruptcy creditors have claimed. They told a bankruptcy judge—who controls the former New York City mayor's spending—that they will not allow Giuliani to drive his creditors "off a cliff," and said they are making a last attempt to get him to comply with his obligations to the bankruptcy court before they start using tougher legal methods.

Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powell’s legacy as “somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes. “Under Powell, the Fed has changed to think about equity issues, like racial issues, think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate, as part of the things we are following. Think about climate change.” Aurel Hizmo, Principal Economist at the Federal Reserve, who prior to working at the Fed was an Assistant...

Donald Trump suffered a blow in a number of primary votes on Tuesday, after thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him.

The share price of Trump Media plunged Monday after the social media app company closely tied to former President Donald Trump reported a net loss of $58.2 million on revenue of just $4.1 million in 2023. Trump Media & Technology Group shares were trading down by more than 25% around 1:08 p.m. ET.

March 22, 2024 House Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) suggested the impeachment vote against President Biden may not be the “best path” and said he instead thinks criminal referrals will be the way to go. “I believe that the best path to accountability is criminal referrals,” Comer told Newsmax hosts Thursday. The Oversight Committee held a hearing Wednesday on the impeachment inquiry into Biden. Democrats pressured Republicans to identify the criminal conduct underlying their probe, as doubts rise about the future of the investigation into the president’s business dealings. Comer argued in the interview that “real accountability” for...

President Trump swept the primary elections tonight in Illinois, Ohio, and his home state of Florida. President Trump won Florida with 81% of the vote. Nikki Haley had 13.9% And Governor Ron DeSantis had 3.9% Trump supporter Roger Stone weighed in on today’s election.

Former President Donald Trump appeared in a Florida courtroom on Thursday to appeal his classified documents case, while citing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s decision not to bring charges against sitting President Joe Biden. Hur’s report showed that Joe Biden not only willfully and intentionally mishandled classified documents, stored them in multiple insecure locations, and procured them while Senator and Vice President, but he also misled federal investigators, obstructed justice, and divulged national security secrets. Biden’s leaks of classified information are deemed to be so serious that the Intelligence Community is now performing a “damage assessment” to ascertain the extent they...

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents trial granted the former president's legal team a 10-day extension to make filings in the case, despite opposition to the motion from special counsel Jack Smith. Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ruled that Trump may file replies to motions by March 24, 2025.

Special Counsel Robert Hur was in the hot seat for four hours Tuesday as President Biden’s congressional allies sought to destroy him for doubting Biden’s intellect. They had no case. And instead, they turned the event into Three Stooges-caliber theater. Hur’s report last month concluded that Biden had “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” — violations of federal law. But Hur said that prosecuting him would be dicey because jurors could view Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory.” The House Judiciary Committee hearing on Hur’s report was only about “Republicans trying to re-elect the former white supremacist-in-chief,” according...

Mike Lindell has said that he will bring explosive new evidence to the Supreme Court regarding Kari Lake's bid to challenge the use of electronic tabulation systems. Speaking to Steve Bannon on the podcast War Room, the MyPillow CEO said he had strong evidence in the case that would help him save this country.

During his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden reached for one of his top recent peeves: shrinkflation. "Too many corporations raise prices to pad the profits, charging more and more for less and less," Biden said. He complained about skimpier Snickers bars and added: "The snack companies think you won't notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer — same size bag — put fewer chips in it." Less coffee in a can, more air in a bag of cereal, fewer sheets in a toilet-paper roll — shrinkflation lets...

Former President Donald Trump torched President Joe Biden on Friday following the 81-year-old’s State of the Union (SOTU) speech, blasting Biden’s angry demeanor. “Biden’s speech last night is getting ‘panned’ all over the World. Only the Radical Left lunatics are trying to make the best of it,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, blasting Biden for the lengthy amount of time it took him to mention the immigration crisis plaguing the country. “It took him 41 minutes to talk, briefly, about Immigration and the Border, on the topic of which he was very weak,” Trump continued. “No talk...

Shortly after President Joe Biden concluded his State of the Union address, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and called it possibly “The Angriest, Least Compassionate, and Worst State of the Union Speech ever made. It was an Embarrassment to our Country!” “This was an angry, polarizing, and hate-filled Speech. He barely mentioned immigration or the worst border in the history of the world,” said the former president. “He will never fix immigration, nor does he want to. He wants our country to be flooded with migrants. Crime will rise to levels never seen before, and it is...

President Joe Biden plans to launch a raid on the super rich, hiking taxes for corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. White House officials said the steps were part of a proposed 2025 budget to be released next week, and aimed at reducing the federal deficit by $3 trillion over 10 years. The tax plans are expected to form a core part of Biden's re-election campaign, contrasting markedly with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, whose 2017 'Tax Cuts and Jobs Act' slashed taxes on companies and the wealthy.
