    President Donald Trump was heavily critical of Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who interrupted his joint sessions address to Congress on Tuesday night. The president’s comments came on the same day the House of Representatives voted to censure Green for his antics. Of Green, Trump said that the Texas congressman “should be forced to pass an IQ test because he is a low IQ individual, and we don’t need low IQ individuals in Congress.” Trump also said Green was an embarrassment and called for punitive action against him.

    But one of the real issues for "journalists" was something Trump said about Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and it's not a new part of the president's repertoire. If you missed it this is how Trump honored the Senate's most notorious non-Native American: President Trump to Democrats on the war in Ukraine: "Do you want to keep it going another five years? Yeah...Pocahontas says yes!" The legacy media can always be counted on to get triggered on behalf of a Democrats. In this case it was a Reuters White House reporter: "Pocahontas": First racial slur in a Joint Address — Nandita Bose...

    Texas Congressman Al Green was removed from the House of Representatives chamber this evening after repeatedly heckling and refusing to sit down during President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress. Green, 77, announced to the press upon his exit that he once again plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump. He threatened the same a few weeks ago, citing Trump’s plan for Gaza.

    Democrats have been doing all they can to protest President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. Some have made the courageous decision not to attend at all. Democrat congresswomen will be wearing pink to show their support for women, even though Senate Democrats voted down a bill Monday night that would have kept men out of girls' sports and locker rooms. .. A very small group of Senate Democrats gathered on the steps of the Capitol holding photographs of women who've been raped and murdered by illegal immigrants. No, sorry, they were holding photographs of...

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocked pro-Palestine supporters in a speech addressed to the US Congress on Wednesday (24 July). This marks his fourth Congress speech since Hamas launched an attack on 7 October 2023. The latest death toll as of 23 July stands at 39,670 Palestinians killed and 1,139 people killed in Israel. During his address to Congress, Netanyahu referred to the fast food chain KFC, and called demonstrators "Iran's useful idiots." "I have a message for these protesters. When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are praising,...

    That protest against Benjamin Netanyahu was riddled with classic anti-Semitism.What would you call a gathering of angry people marching behind a giant, grotesque effigy of a horned Jew with blood dripping from his mouth? A gathering at which one attendee held up a placard calling for a ‘Final Solution’ for ‘the Zionists’? A gathering at which people giddily waved the flag of a movement that is devoted to the murder of Jews? A gathering at which there were banners and speedily daubed graffiti on public monuments singing the praises of this Jew-killing outfit? I would call it a fascist rally....

    A group of Republican members of U.S. Congress hoisted the American flags outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night after anti-Israel protesters replaced them with Palestinian flags earlier in the day. "Earlier today, pro-Hamas protesters took down the American flags at Union Station, burned them and raised Palestinian flags. Tonight, we righted their wrong. American flags are once again flying over Union Station. We will not let the terrorist mob win," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tweeted, along with a video of the lawmakers saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Earlier today, pro-Hamas protesters took down the American flags...

    U.S. — In an effort to make identifying the various types of criminals serving in Congress easier, congressional representatives will now hold up little signs to show what sort of criminal they are. "This will make things so much easier," said local man John Hastings. "What a great idea by Representative Tlaib!" According to sources, Representative Tlaib decided to begin holding up a sign to alert everyone that she openly supported the terrorist organization currently holding American citizens hostage. "We all have our various crimes. I'm more the kind when it involves armed violence against the citizens I'm supposed to...

    Families of hostages held captive in Gaza condemned Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United States Congress, as pressure grows on the Israeli prime minister to agree to a deal to secure their release. “The speech and applause won’t erase the one sad fact: The words ‘Deal Now!’ were absent from the prime minister’s address,” The Hostage and Missing Families Forum in Israel said in a statement.. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has become a potent political force in Israel since some 250 people were abducted by Hamas on October 7, and the square a regular site of protests demanding...

It was the Israeli leader’s fourth address to Congress. ... more than any other foreign leader in history, more even than British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. His speech was brilliant, bipartisan, and electrifying. A true master class in global statesmanship.

    A defiant Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday, dismissed as “utter nonsense” criticisms by the United Nations, human rights groups and the International Criminal Court that Israel’s government has committed war crimes in Gaza, and he derided pro-Palestinian protesters as “idiots” and tools of Iran. The Israeli prime minister told U.S. lawmakers that Israel will settle for “nothing less” than total victory over Hamas, and described a vision for postwar Gaza seemingly at odds with the terms of a peace deal advocated by the Biden administration. The fate of Israel and the United...

    WASHINGTON (TND) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday chastised certain anti-Israel protesters during his address to a joint session of Congress. The address came as thousands of anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to protest Netanyahu’s presence. Demonstrators pounded drums, lit flares and hoisted Palestinian flags. Capitol Police reported members of the crowd became violent, causing them to deploy pepper spray. Netanyahu called out Gays for Gaza, a slogan used by some anti-Israel protesters. Such a slogan, he argued, is oxymoronic. “Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming 'Gays for Gaza,’” he said. “They...

    Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, who is in the midst of a war with Hamas, is flying to the United States to speak to a joint session of Congress. Kamala Harris, as President of the Senate, is supposed to preside. She is declining to do so, and has also declined to even meet with the Israeli Prime Minister. Disgraceful: Kamala Harris’ first official act as the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States is to snub the leader of America’s key strategic ally, the Jewish state.Kamala Harris would be a total disaster for the US-Israel relationship. https://t.co/FiUTiWWw7O— RJC...

    Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones....

    It may be weeks before we fully understand the fallout from the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol building. The prevailing consensus from conservative talk radio hosts and editors is that this event provided ammunition to Trump’s enemies and gave squishy Republicans an excuse to abandon their objections to the certification of Biden’s electors. They may be true, but based on what I saw experienced first-hand, I am conflicted on what to say about those who entered the building.According to the website “wildprotest.com,” the original plan was to gather at the Whitehouse Ellipse from 9am to 12pm, then gather...

    Vice President Mike Pence expressed anger about President Trump to a Republican senator after the commander-in-chief made the veep a target of the angry crowds that stormed the Capitol for simply following the Constitution’s rules regarding the Electoral College vote certification. Speaking to Tulsa World after the shocking series of events unfolded Wednesday, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) revealed that he had spoken to the vice president — and that he was furious.
