"If Ken Buck isn’t lying and 3 more RINO’s leave, Jeffries becomes speaker. All investigations end , certification is in peril AND Bucks sudden departure puts Bobert at risk. YES they hate Trump that much."

Dade Phelan incurred the wrath of Trump and other Republicans when he led the impeachment effort against state Attorney General Ken Paxton.. Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan and his Republican challenger David Covey, who was backed by former President Donald Trump and Attorney General Ken Paxton, will proceed to a primary runoff race in May.. Phelan and Covey were neck and neck in the results early Wednesday, while a third GOP candidate, hairdresser Alicia Davis, won far fewer votes but helped deny both candidates a majority of their party's votes. Phelan incurred the wrath of Republicans in Texas and nationally...

The Daily Wire, The Federalist, and the state of Texas joined on Tuesday in a lawsuit against the U.S. State Department, alleging that the government agency funded censorship technology designed to bankrupt domestic media outlets with disfavored political opinions. The State Department is tasked with foreign relations and has no authority over domestic affairs, yet it took a government office designed for countering foreign terrorist propaganda, the Global Engagement Center (GEC), and unleashed it against Americans engaged in what it claimed was “disinformation,” according to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas on Tuesday night...

DENVER (KDVR) — After five terms in Congress, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck announced that he will not be seeking reelection. Buck, a Republican from Windsor, was first elected in November 2014 and has been reelected every two years since.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck (CO) broke from his GOP colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee and thanked FBI Director Christopher Wray for his service on Wednesday, then spoke with CNN and claimed Wray is “doing his very best.” House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee grilled Wray at a Wednesday hearing over issues related to alleged civil liberties violations by the government. For example, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed Wray for answers on the agency’s involvement with investigations into Hunter Biden. However, Buck used his allotted time to praise Wray and the FBI. Buck recognized that Wray was appointed assistant attorney...

As you’re probably aware, Ken Paxton, arguably the best Attorney General in the nation, is facing impeachment proceedings led by so-called “Republicans” in Texas. Many are shocked to see so many RINOs in leadership roles in the Lone Star State. But it makes sense when you consider Texas’s long history of establishment politics. It’s a sad reminder that the establishment won’t back down easily, and they’re not afraid to get in the gutter and play dirty; as we can see with Paxton’s impeachment trial. Fortunately, Paxton’s legal team is skinning the RINOs as we speak. ... As it stands, the...

Mr. McCloskey explained during his on-camera interview on Monday that he announced to the Marxist mob that they were on private property and that’s when they became enraged. “Somebody forced the gate, and I stood up and announced that this is private property. Go back. I can’t remember in detail anymore. I went inside, I got a rifle. And when they … because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd,” he said. McClosky said one of the militants pulled out a loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said ‘you’re next.’ “We...

These days candidate Mark Brnovich reminds us of rocker Mick Jagger. Although he was recruited by establishment Republicrats to challenge conservative incumbent Attorney General Tom Horne, he appears to be drawing not much more than dust in the campaign donation department. Jagger sang about not getting ‘no satisfaction’ and Brnovich is clearly not generating much in the way of the all-important fundraising traction. Endorser Jon Kyl, a titan in the McCain brigade sent an urgent message to Tucson auto dealer Jim Click some time back, urging him to rally the car dealers to Brnovich’s aid. Zilch came of that. (SNIP)...

SALT LAKE CITY — Sometimes you just have to sit back and marvel at some of the things mankind has created. The hard work and problem solving it took to send a man to the moon is nearly unfathomable. And then the ingenuity behind building a structure like the Burj Khalifa or the dedication and insight to write something like the Gettysburg Address is awe inspiring.

Kenneth Feinberg must be a big fan of Albert Camus. Every job he takes involves some sort of existential quality. He made his mark doling out compensation to the families of 9-11 victims, a job that entailed deciding whether or which life had more monetary value: that of a janitor or a banker? As the Obama administration’s pay czar, Feinberg spent most of last year determining what executives at bailed out banks and auto companies should be paid. “In our society, I’ve found that compensation is a surrogate for worth,’’ Feinberg said at a recent speech at the Wharton School....

[excerpt] We hate the media in general, but we love afternoon talk show hosts John & Ken of KFI radio in Los Angeles. And if the media ignores their movement, we will give them a hand. The talk team drew 15,000 people last week to their “Revolt, Recall, Repeal Rally” to protest California’s $50 billion tax increase and to begin recall efforts aimed at the governor and several state legislators. it was covered locally, but did you see any national coverage? Ten NOW protestors on the on the White House steps makes news, but not 15,000 in a tax revolt?...

Tax Revolt and Recall Protest draws 15,000 Fullerton – An estimated crowd of 15,000 people showed up at a tax revolt and recall protest hosted by The John & Ken Show of radio station KFI 640. The hyperactive John Kobylt and immaculately groomed Ken Chiampou prodded the crowd into chants of "heads on a stick" and "off with their heads" several times during the three hour event, referring to lazy legislators and the lying governor. Some people brought bloody effigy heads of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and stuck them on the end of a pike, while the crowd joined their hosts...

Boris Johnson has been elected Mayor of London, adding to Labour's misery after disastrous local elections. The Conservative candidate beat Ken Livingstone with Liberal Democrat Brian Paddick in third place. Mr Johnson polled 1,168,738 votes to Mr Livingstone's 1,028,966. After second preferences were allocated, Mr Johnson achieved around 53% to Mr Livingstone's 47%. The result put further pressure on Prime Minister Gordon Brown after his party suffered its worst council election results in four decades. After the result was announced, the new mayor thanked his team and praised his opponents, particularly Mr Livingstone who he described as a "very considerable...

Cleveland - Veteran local sportscaster Casey Coleman, who battled pancreatic cancer for more than a year, has died. Coleman, 55, who died early Monday morning, will be difficult to replace, said WTAM AM/1100 radio host Bill Wills. "He was an integral part of our broadcast," said Wills, co-host of "Wills and Coleman in the Morning." "He was a pros pro and a very good friend. Players and coaches trusted him. He gave our broadcast credibility." Doctors gave Coleman six months to live in June. He returned briefly to WTAM at the start of Cleveland Browns training camp but took a...

YOU CAN DRESS him up any way you want. Change his appearance to make him look like Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp or even John Wayne. Tough boy, homeboy, cowboy. It doesn't matter. Ken is still a castrated man. Ken has always lived in the shadow of the venerable girl next door. He is an afterthought, known for nothing but being a mere accessory, sold separately. Mattel is trying to bring him back after a hiatus, but with a lobotomized grin and submissive gaze, he is the epitome of role reversal. While Barbie has been a regular career gal with a...

Today news of Ken Lay’s heart attack and unexpected death has reached me. I did not know this Mr. KennyBoy Lay person but he seemed to be a good man and like me he knew how to treat people and make money from oil and energy markets. Damn I miss manipulating the price of crude. I have been thinking that many times well known people who are connected by celebrity and a random fact seem to die in groups of three...
