@RepThomasMassie Trump asked dual citizen Miriam Adelson, a billionaire running nasty ads against me in Kentucky, “what do you love more, the United States or Israel?” She refused to answer him. He says that might mean she loves Israel more. This isn’t AI, it’s real video…

Rep. Thomas Massie is turning his defiance of President Trump into dollars. The Kentucky Republican raised more than $750,000 in the last three months — surpassing his previous best fundraising quarter since entering Congress by more than $100,000. “A lot of times, candidates get tripped up when Trump endorses their opponents because they can’t raise money, that basically shuts off all the fuel to the engine of their campaign, and that is not the case with me,” Mr. Massie told The Washington Times. Mr. Massie credits the surge in donations to Republican voters. “Every time he’s attacked me, there has...

When challenged that killing citizens without due process is a war crime, the vice president responded that he "didn't give a sh*t." Sometimes in fits of anger, loud voices will say they don't care about niceties such as due process—they just want to kill bad guys. For a brief moment, all of us may share that anger and may even embrace revenge or retribution. But over 20,000 people are murdered in the U.S. each year, and yet somehow we find a way to a dispassionate dispensation of justice that includes legal representation for the accused and jury trial. Why? Because...

Charlie Kirk furiously criticized 'bullying' Jewish donors and said he was considering 'leaving the pro-Israel cause' before his death, it was confirmed today. The bombshell revelation comes after Candace Owens released a screenshot of Kirk fuming in a group chat that Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson. Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots on Tuesday during the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, In the text messages, Kirk privately complained that a Jewish donor had withdrawn a $2 million investment into the organization because he refused to disinvite Carlson...

@RepThomasMassie The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.

@SenRandPaul This continuing resolution keeps spending at Biden’s reckless levels: no real cuts, no debt reduction. It’s the same old Washington game of borrowing more and ignoring fiscal responsibility. We need to stop the spending spree and get government under control.

Donald Trump had a warning to Democrats. Soon he will decide what "Democrat agencies" he would cut and whether those reductions would be temporary or permanent. He said the government shutdown, which began on Tuesday, had afforded him an "unprecedented opportunity". "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame," he posted on his Truth Social website on Thursday morning. Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, may not be a household name. But Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for governing put together primarily by former Trump officials like Vought when...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle this week to discuss President Donald Trump’s plan to create TrumpRX, a government-run website offering discounts on select prescription drugs. Paul, a libertarian leaning Republican, pulled no punches in criticizing Trump’s willingness to intervene in the free market and even went so far as to compare the Trump administration to self-identified socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Paul shared his interview on X and wrote, “If you’re going to criticize the socialist Mamdani for wanting to own grocery stores, you better criticize Republicans who want a share of Intel, of...

Right-wing commentator Cadance Owens dropped her bombshell after teasing over the weekend that she got information that Tyler Robinson was framed in the case of Charlie Kirk's assassination. She said that everything the agencies told about the Charlie Kirk assassination has been a lie. She said a politician's name came up as she dug deeper into the case. Candace said she knows everything is a lie because law enforcement is even lying that Tyler Robinson, the accused, is suicidal. Candace questioned how Tyler Robinson was willing to turn himself in but did not confess. He was 'bewildered' to have known...

Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is desperately trying to keep his fight for political survival from becoming a billionaire battleground, even ever-so-slightly suggesting Elon Musk's tacit support could backfire. The embattled GOP congressman, who Trump has called 'the worst Republican Congressman', is walking a tightrope as he tries to downplay any suggestion that the world's richest man might come to his rescue against the president's personal revenge campaign. 'It's important that my race is not a proxy race between Donald Trump and Elon Musk,' Massie told the Daily Mail, in a bid to keep the race locally focused. 'Elon Musk has...

MOUNT OLIVET, Ky. — Rand Paul might run for president in 2028. It depends on whether the Republican Party still has space for his fellow Kentuckian who now shares the title of Donald Trump’s biggest conservative troublemaker. “First, we’ve got to see if Thomas Massie will keep his job and get reelected,” Paul said after offering a “maybe” to the 2028 question. For Paul, a libertarian-leaning senator willing to break with the president when most fellow Republicans fall in line, Massie’s ability to withstand a Trump-backed primary foe speaks to his own future. “We represent the same thing. If people...

..... The speakers were complimentary of both Paul and Massie, characterizing them as principled conservatives in the face of criticism. Maddox characterized both Paul and Massie as the “most conservative” legislators in the nation, a comment that elicited applause from the crowd. Paul for his own part called Northern Kentucky a “bastion of conservationism” against liberal interests in Lexington and Louisville. 54-year-old Massie has occupied the House’s 4th congressional district, which includes Northern Kentucky, since 2012. He’s proven to have staying power among the electorate, carrying wide margins to victory in every election since that year.

Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson referred to a murderous plot of people eating hummus in Jerusalem in a speech comparing the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk to that of Jesus at the activist's memorial service on Sunday, which led many commentators to accuse Carlson of engaging in antisemitic dog whistles and flirting with conspiracies about an Israeli hand behind the September 10 murder. -snip- Anti-Israel activist Jackson Hinkle clipped the segment of the speech and posted it to his X account, remarking, "mic drop." Quds News Network also captioned the speech as Carlson suggesting "Israeli involvement in Charlie...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said that Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr's comments threatening to take action against Disney's ABC last week were "absolutely inappropriate." Asked whether Carr's comments, threatening to revoke broadcasting licenses from ABC after late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel made remarks about Republicans' response to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, were appropriate, Paul said no. "Brendan Carr's got no business weighing in on this, but people have to also realize that despicable comments, you have the right to say them, but you don't have the right to employment," Paul added.

@infolibnews House Speaker Mike Johnson held a "private meeting" with AIPAC and Jewish leaders on Wednesday on Capitol Hill wherein he reportedly pledged to screen out "isolationist" (see: anti-Israel) GOP candidates "to prevent that wing of the party from growing larger in the House." Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), who was also part of the meeting, revealed "he’d been texting recently with Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt about the proliferation of antisemitic conspiracy theories about the killing of influencer Charlie Kirk," Jewish Insider reported.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined the chorus of hard-right influencers posting their past text messages from Charlie Kirk as the MAGA world debates Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s claim that Kirk had turned against Israel. Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right. Greene added her voice to the firestorm on Wednesday with a post that included a screenshot of a text message from Kirk, asking her if she would like to take part in a debate...

Freeper, what if your name was read out on the House floor associated with Epstein? But that could never happen because you are innocent,... right? If you are innocent, it is impossible for you to be named in and under any circumstance. Right?
