Ohio Secretary of State and Senate Republican candidate Frank LaRose unleashed on Donald Trump Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy in an unhinged manner on Wednesday. LaRose released a statement as Trump Jr. and Ramaswamy plan to campaign with Ohio businessman and Senate Republican candidate Bernie Moreno. He said: Today, two strong supporters of the second amendment, Don Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, campaigned with a Democrat who has repeatedly mocked gun owners and parroted anti-Second Amendment language used by Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Sherrod Brown. Sometimes, even the good guys get it wrong, but Ohioans won’t fall for Bernie’s election-year conversion....

At the heart of the decline in family wealth is China's real estate meltdown, which is having a pervasive effect on a society where 70% of family assets are tied up in property. Towards the end of last year, 34 of the top 50 Chinese property developers were in default.. China has rolled out new rules meant to expand access to commercial bank loans for property developers as Beijing doubles down on its effort to end a prolonged crisis in the real estate industry. In an attempt to stabilize financial markets and boost the economy, the Chinese government has cut...

Then-top Biden aide Susan Rice would privately slam fellow Cabinet member Xavier Becerra as a “b—h a–’’ and “idiot’’ over the migrant crisis — yet another sign of a White House in turmoil, a report said Monday. Rice insulted the Health and Human Services secretary and clashed with Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall and other officials while coordinating the administration’s border response as President Biden’s domestic policy adviser from January 2021 to May 2023, Axios reported. Sources told the outlet that Rice’s ire for Becerra stemmed from his failure to secure additional sheltering spaces for child...

Everyone from the ladies on ABC’s "The View" to actor John Leguizamo to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are peeved at Univision over a recent interview with former President Trump. But Media Research Center news analyst Jorge Bonilla felt the interview was "totally normal," and the Spanish-language network is only taking heat because it’s usually a "reliable left-wing depository of Democrat talking points" and they simply cannot handle giving Trump a platform. "What you're seeing right now is a major meltdown, mostly on the left, from operators of the Democratic Party, members of the media and members of the celebrity class...

Team DeSantis is now praying for the destruction of our country. pic.twitter.com/7nbitHfX3D— NN (@NnPnemck) November 12, 2023 Ron Desantis’ strongest online supporter: pic.twitter.com/Md7cfmMsE4— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) November 12, 2023The envy and hate DeSimps have for Trump and his base is repulsive. Imagine being this triggered over Trump simply attending a UFC fight. Btw- this is an account managed & created by the DeSantis team to amplify his support with blacks Americans. Pathetic.

During an interview with NewsNation aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Hill,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued that if his rival Republican candidate former President Donald Trump had followed his promise to build a wall on the border, “it would have been much more difficult for Biden to get away with” the damage he’s done on the border.DeSantis said, “I do think, when he’s saying things, like, in Iowa, the other day, that, well, he couldn’t follow his campaign promise to have Mexico build the border — pay for the border wall, because there was, no...

China’s problems are many and varied, but now we can add a possible famine to them.Like Mao during the Cultural Revolution, Xi is pushing a new program of “agricultural management.” In practice, this means hundreds of thousands of party bureaucrats or simply average job seekers turned into state-sanctioned “agriculture managers” (effectively rural “enforcers” for the CCP) descending on villages and small towns – a nightmare scenario for farmers.These enforcers have already sowed resentment and chaos in rural communities. In one instance from earlier this year that went viral on Chinese social media, agricultural managers threatened to uproot backyard fruit and...

VIDEOIt's on! The North American battle of the Liberal Meltdown Challenge. On the U.S. side of the border we have teachers union president Randi Weingarten in an epic meltdown over the possibility that cancellation of student debt won't be permitted. North of the border Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a bizarre meltdown over even the slightest dissent from fully supporting a seemingly endless and expensive war in Ukraine that could lead to World War III. Both are obviously putting great effort into their respective liberal meltdowns. However, only one can come out the winner in the North American Division...

Teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten got attention on social media for her emotional display outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday. A Student Debt Crisis Center’s rally was held in response to the Supreme Court listening to a pair of challenges to President Biden’s plan to forgive $10,000 in federal student loans for individuals making less than $125,000 per year or households earning less than $250,000 annually. Weingarten broke down during her speech. "And frankly, and this is what really pisses me off," Weingarten said. "During the pandemic, we understood that small businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it...

VIDEOA little known fact about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is that in addition to being a member of Congress, she is also an accomplished concert conductor. Once in awhile AOC even combines her two occupations such as recently when she simultaneously took to the floor of Congress while also conducting the 1812 Meltdown Overture.

Former Vice President Al Gore said that “greenhouse gas pollution” was “boiling the oceans,” causing “rain bombs,” and creating “climate refugees” during remarks at a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday. Gore joined a panel discussion ostensibly examining what the WEF and the White House regularly describe as a “climate crisis” driven by consumption of fossil fuels. One of the panel’s hosts framed it as a “planetary crisis” driving “mass extinction” while “really putting humanity’s future at risk.” Gore claimed: We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere] every single day,...

Economic conditions just keep getting worse. As we prepare to enter 2023, we find ourselves in a high inflation environment at the same time that economic activity is really slowing down. And just like we witnessed in 2008, employers are conducting mass layoffs as a horrifying housing crash sweeps across the nation. Those that have been waiting for the U.S. economy to implode can stop waiting, because an economic implosion has officially arrived. The following are 15 facts that prove that a massive economic meltdown is already happening right now…#1 Existing home sales have now fallen for 10 consecutive months.#2...

Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republicans and potential 2024 presidential election rivals by saying Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin couldn't have won without his support. The former president wrote on Friday morning that 'Young Kin' is a name that 'sounds Chinese' and that he helped him get the 'MAGA vote' in his victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe in November 2021. It comes after Trump laid into Ron DeSantis by calling him 'average' and claimed that he sent in the FBI to 'stop ballot theft' when he won the Florida Governor race in 2018. 'Young Kin (now that’s an...

New footage from January 6, 2021, shows a candid moment where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened to physically strike then-President Trump, should he have joined those protesting at the Capitol. In the video, which was publicly shared Thursday, Pelosi admits the actions could have resulted in her going to prison — a consequence she said she would "be happy" to accept. "I hope he comes, I’m going to punch him out," Pelosi tells her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough, who discourages her boss from making the comments. "I’ve been waiting for this, for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I’m going...

y columns have turned rather apocalyptic of late, but for a valid reason. Just this week, we got confirmation that our financial system is, again, at the brink of collapse, when the Bank of England (BoE) was forced to enact, de facto, a bailout of the pension funds of the United Kingdom. On Sept. 28, around noon, the Bank of England stepped (back) into the Gilt markets and start buying government bonds with longer maturities to stop the collapse in their value which could have caused the financial system to become unhinged. Pension funds were faced with major margin calls,...

VIDEOA Democrat Snowflake rudely cut ahead of a polite man in a checkout line and when he mildly objects, she goes into a self-righteous but extremely hilarious BERSERK rage.

J.D. Vance makes an appearance I searched for "Tucker" in keywords and titles and didn't see this. Hope it's in the right place because this bailout is in the news.

From dealers to lenders to tow truck operators, reports have poured in this month about a disturbing trend of rising car and truck repossessions. Lisa Beilfuss Popeo, who covers the economy for Barron's, recently reported that vehicle repossessions have doubled among “prime” borrowers, which includes consumers with good credit scores. "One red flag is the rate of repossession for prime borrowers is starting to rise. It's not just subprime borrowers that are having problems," Popeo told CBS News. The reason for the sharp increase in repossessions is not exactly clear. Some point to a bubble in the car market that...

Vladimir Putin has vowed to defeat the West on the 'battlefield' and suggested he could escalate the war in Ukraine. The Russian leader announced at a televised meeting with MPs this afternoon: 'Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. 'Well, what can I say - let them try.
