A central detail in James Talarico's political origin story has been questioned in the New York Times just days out from the midterm elections as he battles to become the first Democratic Texas senator since 1993. Talarico, a former educator who currently serves as a Texas State representative, launched his original bid for office after spending two years in a San Antonio classroom as a Teach For America fellow from 2011 to 2013, when he was in his early 20s. In his initial campaign, Talarico claimed that he taught as many as 45 students at a time and that classroom...

"Amy has a serious problem," Democrat Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton's estranged mother says in a just-released campaign video, "She is a liar, she lies about her past." I just about spit out my coffee. "I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent," entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Donna Arthur says in the clip before trailing off into telling the world her daughter is a big fat liar. "She says she grew up living in a tent," Arthur continued, referencing a common refrain from Acton's stump speech, but "none of that is true. She's lied her...

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s (D) mother called her a “liar” in a new ad, as her brother labelled the video “a despicable low” on Tuesday ahead of the state’s battleground elections in November. “I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent. It is not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar,” Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, appeared to say in the ad. “She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire...

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity said he was “pressured” to push Covid-19 vaccines on his viewers, even though he was uncomfortable doing so. The cable news star vented about how he was compelled to peddle vaccines during the Tuesday episode of his Hang Out podcast, where Hannity and Dr. Drew Pinsky talked about the pandemic — and their issues with how it was handled. “I was being pressured — pressured — to tell my audience to take the jab,” Hannity said. “And I’m like, ‘I’m not a doctor. I’m just not. I don’t know anything about your health, I don’t...

Protestors will be shot, private property is being seized, petrol stations have long lines, and some are in flames. Instead of "protesting," people are on the streets banging on trash cans, drums, anything that will make noise, and others are chanting "Jaavid Shah!" Basij are short handed. And continuing.

The situation for the Regime continues to degrade in Iran.

Does anyone know who this guy is?? Dr. Mark Brauner? Any Freepers in the medical field who ever heard of him or watched his videos? I came across him tonight and spent quite a lot of time watching his videos, and I came to the conclusion the guy is - to put it blunt - utterly full of sh** although I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Every video is basically the same - Israel bashing, genocide accusations, Israelis are killing children, Israelis are mass murdering innocent people - always the children, the children - always Israel, yet...

We knew it was coming. Now, it’s finally been announced. In a video shared to social media, Joe Biden issued a statement about his forthcoming presidential memoir, Promise Me, America, and the rollout told you almost everything you need to know before you bother to crack the spine. Biden's voice sounded muffled, as if he were talking with a mouthful of cotton balls. It was hard to watch, but I sat through it. "Since I left the presidency, I've had a lot of people ask me, 'Joe, what have you been doing?'" Biden claimed in the video. "I'm dealing with...

I am on the email list of my Democrat Congressman Vindman. I got an email today which begins: It now takes 100 days to get a primary care appointment at the Fredericksburg Veteran Affairs (VA) Health Care Center. That is unacceptable. I regularly hear from veterans across my district who are struggling to get the care they need because of staffing shortages and unacceptable delays at this care center. Our veterans served our nation with honor. They deserve a VA health care system that is fully staffed, responsive, transparent, and accountable — and they should never have to wait 100...

Being the United States president can be pretty overwhelming. Fortunately for the 44th U.S. President Obama, had basketball to turn to relieve himself of some of the stress. ...Obama played and he played without any reservations. "they didn't adopt any "presidential rules," and he paid for it dearly one time as someone caught him on the mouth and gave him a busted lip. "There ain't no presidential rule?" Stak chimed in. "I got the scars to prove it," Obama bragged. The affable U.S. president said hoops was as much a part of his schedule as meeting diplomats from other countries....

Bill O’Reilly says that E. Jean Carroll must be criminally prosecuted It turns out she wasn’t paid a little bit to lie about Donald Trump and target him, she was paid a lot. $7 MILLION in funding for her lawsuits against Trump “The E. Jean Carroll fraud should be prosecuted. That is the most outrageous story — It's so outrageous that the woman testifies in a deposition under oath that nobody is helping her, no lawyer is helping her, no pro bono, and then we find out she got $7 million” The lawyer was connected to Jeffrey Epstein and is...

A CSPAN caller who said he voted for President Donald Trump three times delivered a shocking takedown of the president Saturday on Washington Journal. The caller, who identified as Thomas from Hawaii, told host Taylor Popielarz that he now regrets his votes for Trump. “It’s hard for me to say this,” Thomas said. “But I think if I can open up about it in public that it might help others. I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time — even though I had doubts because I knew enough about his business history to think otherwise....

Democratic state Rep. James Talarico of Texas has offered some off-the-wall comments regarding the Bible and God on multiple occasions during his political career.

Omar, 43, belligerently ranted on X on Thursday evening ahead of the attacks on Iran. She claimed the US bombed Iraq in 1990 during Ramadan.

Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was widely panned by conservatives on social media over her rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union, with many calling out the governor for labeling herself as a "moderate" during the campaign but changing her tune. Spanberger’s speech contained several examples of supporting far-left causes that drew criticism online, including school walkouts over ICE, touting "affordability" despite pushing to raise taxes and slamming Trump. Her overall speech quickly drew heat from conservatives online over her policies and her tone. "This Spanberger speech can basically be summed up as ‘I AM A DEMOCRAT WHO...

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "All of you MAGA influencers and the rest mocking the seriousness of women who were trafficked and raped as teenagers look like cult fools. Good luck trying to get women to vote for Republicans in the midterms you insensitive clows. The Republican Party already has a woman voting problem. Keep mocking those of us who take rape and pedophilia seriously and demand accountability for corruption."

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Schneider Severely Criticizes Cardinal Roche's ReportInterviewed by Diane Montagna, Bishop Schneider challenges the historical assumptions and theological premises underlying Cardinal Arthur Roche's document. He maintains that the report does not reflect an impartial and thorough analysis, but rather an ideological approach marked by what he calls "rigid clericalism." Bishop Schneider argues that the Mass most faithful to the Council was the Ordo Missae of 1965, and that the form later promulgated by Pope Paul VI—the Novus Ordo Missae—was substantially rejected by the first Synod of Bishops after the Council in 1967. He disputes the interpretation of the...
