Republicans may retake the House of Representatives after a lack-luster performance in the 2022 midterm elections. The United States is now under a communist assault from within. We need strong leadership. Here are several reasons why Kevin McCarthy should never be Republican Speaker of the House. 1.) Kevin McCarthy: “We’re not going to impeach Joe Biden.” 2.) Kevin McCarthy recommended President Trump resign after January 6 protests that killed four Trump supporters… Then he lied about it. 3.) McCarthy spent millions to defeat pro-Trump Republicans. 4.) McCarthy booed at Trump rally. 5.) Kevin McCarthy following 2020 election, “I Don’t Think...

President Joe Biden pledged to build a high-speed railway between Scranton, Pennsylvania, and New York City on Wednesday. The president made his bold (and likely unrealistic) pronouncement during his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday when recalling how a congressman in the state of Pennsylvania asked if his infrastructure plan would include a high-speed rail between the two cities. “We can. First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money...

AOC is getting rather defensive, isn't she?by Becca London | RNNAs we reported earlier, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried -- and failed -- to "diss" the new Twitter owner, billionaire Elon Musk, by "weath-shaming" him over his planned $8/month subscription for "blue check" Twitter users, who are often celebrities (who can easily afford it).

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to deliver remarks Wednesday night on the importance of protecting democracy and the threat posed by election deniers as part of his final pitch to voters heading into midterms next week. In the remarks, Biden is expected to echo past warnings he has made about the threat posed by those who spread false information about the validity of the 2020 election, according to a statement from the Democratic National Committee. Biden has repeatedly accused Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump of promoting "extremism." “President Biden has been speaking about democracy for the...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is lashing out at oil companies who he says are “fleecing” Californians with gasoline prices that are rising disproportionately in the Golden State. “The fact is, they’re ripping you off. Their record profits are coming at your expense,” Newsom said in a scathing video posted to Twitter Friday in which the governor called for a new windfall tax on oil companies. Newsom said the windfall tax would “ensure these profits go directly back to help millions of Californians who are paying for this oil company extortion.”

Gov. Tim Walz was first alerted to Feeding Our Future’s suspicious activity in April or May 2020, or possibly the summer of 2020, and maybe even November 2020. That’s the story he and his office gave the Minnesota Reformer in an article published Friday. Officials with the Minnesota Department of Education told a Senate committee earlier this year they first detected the fraud scheme a month after it began, which U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said was April 2020. Luger’s office charged 49 people last week for allegedly defrauding the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Federal Nutrition Programs of $250 million intended...

A third retired command sergeant major is speaking out against Gov. Tim Walz, saying he “let his soldiers down” by avoiding a deployment to Iraq in 2005 before running for Congress. Doug Julin worked his way up to division command sergeant major (CSM) before he retired from the Minnesota National Guard in 2012 after serving 35 years. “This was a backdoor deal,” Julin said of Walz not going on the mission.
