    The Democrat and RINO effort to blow up Trump’s global tariffs suffered an embarrassing failure in the Senate this evening after two senators failed to vote. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senator Rand Paul (RINO-KY) had sponsored a resolution that would have terminated ALL of Trump’s tariffs, including those on America’s top adversary, China. The vote deadlocked 49-49, meaning it failed by one vote. But there were three Republicans who voted to stab Trump in the back and end the global tariffs: Rand Paul of Kentucky Susan Collins of Maine Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Senator...

    The White House is warning that President Donald Trump will veto a bipartisan Senate resolution that would terminate his sweeping global “Liberation Day” tariffs. The statement of administration policy from the Office of Management and Budget, sent to congressional offices Monday, comes ahead of an expected vote this week forced by several Democrats led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. “This resolution would undermine the administration’s efforts to address the unusual and extraordinary threats to national security and economic stability, posed by the conditions reflected in the large and persistent annual U.S. goods...

    Four Republicans – Sens. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky; Susan Collins, of Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, sided with Democrats in voting for a resolution that would repeal the emergency declaration that permitted Trump to levy taxes on Canada by citing deadly fentanyl flowing across the border. The measure, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., passed the upper chamber of Congress by a 51-48 vote.

    A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump. The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs.

    Most of the time, when Donald Trump bashes you, it’s over. When it’s done behind the seal of the presidency, it’s doubly over. For Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who’s no longer the leader of the Senate Republicans, the man is, politically speaking, a dead man walking. His approval numbers are absolute garbage, and he’s solidified his reputation as being the “odd man out” among Republicans when he voted against Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard for secretary of defense, Health and Human Services secretary, and director of national intelligence respectively.

    Andy Barr would begin with a federal campaign account affording him millions of dollars but have to confront the reality that he’s little known to most of Kentucky. Daniel Cameron could ride the familiarity of having run statewide twice but carries the scars from his humbling loss in the governor’s race. And Nate Morris would occupy the outsider’s lane of a non-politician but soon find himself answering questions about his stewardship of a Lexington company now struggling financially. Kentucky’s senior senator, Mitch McConnell, has yet to verbalize his expected exit from the U.S. Senate in 2027, but that hasn’t stopped...

    “I feel sorry for Mitch,” Trump replied. “He’s not equipped to be leader, mentally. He never was.” “Under him, the Republican Party was going to h*ll,” he added. “McConnell never really had it. He had votes because he gave money to senators.”.. “I was the one that got McConnell to drop out of the leadership position,” Trump pointed out. “He’s not voting against Bobby [Kennedy], he’s voting against me. He’s a very bitter guy.” “But we have a very strong party, and he’s lost his power. It’s affected his vote.”

    As Fox News’s Chad Pergram reported, McConnell gave a nasty speech on the Senate floor following the vote explaining why he voted against RFK Jr and the Make America Healthy Again movement. McConnell first turned to a predictable target every critic has used against RFK. Jr: vaccines. “I’m a survivor of childhood polio,” McConnell said. “In my lifetime, I’ve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. “I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.”...

    Toxic RINO Senator Mitch McConnell on Wednesday voted ‘no’ on Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation vote. The Senate voted 52-48 to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as the next Director of National Intelligence. McConnell was the lone RINO who voted against President Trump’s nominee. Recall that McConnell was also one of the three Senators to vote against Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Defense Secretary. Shortly after the confirmation vote on Wednesday, McConnell went off on Tulsi Gabbard. McConnell said Tulsi Gabbard’s record proves she is “unworthy of the highest public trust.” Per Fox News’ Chad Pergram: [The Senate’s power of advice and consent is not...

    Mitch McConnell said on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign allies were a bad idea, but said he supports most of what this administration wants to accomplish. “It will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it’ll be paid for by American consumers,” McConnell said of Trump’s tariffs. “I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?” His comments came during a a nationally televised interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” and a day after Trump announced a raft of tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

    As President Trump works nonstop to keep his promises and clean up the chaotic mess Biden left behind, another major battle is unfolding: confirmation hearings. (snip) This time, things are different—thanks to billionaire Nicole Shanahan. Like the rest of America, she’s had enough of the political games, and she’s putting her money where her mouth is. She’s now vowing to make it her personal mission to take down any Senator who refuses to support RFK Jr. If these turncoats won’t back him, she’ll make sure they lose their seats. And she’s not just making threats—Nicole has a plan and is...

    Sen. Lisa Murkowski issued a joint statement with the Danish member of parliament who holds two seats representing Greenland, emphasizing that the United States should view the icy landmass as a “an ally” rather than “an asset.” “The appeal of Greenland is easy to understand. It is strategically located for defense, shipping, and more. It is also a storehouse for all sorts of minerals, the building blocks of society that will determine who leads—and controls—the industries of the future,” the statement began. “Of course, a businessman turned president would be interested. But Greenland is not for sale. The question has...

    For 20-years we have called out the Machievellian nature of Mitch McConnell and his duplicitous agenda to support the UniParty apparatus in Washington DC. Heck, even the name of this site, “The Last Refuge” came from our non-pretending association as to the nature of the root cause of our problems within the Republican apparatus. Mitch McConnell has always been working for the other side. Last night in the confirmation vote for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Mitch McConnell voted no. In an almost identical way to former Senator John McCain refusing to repeal Obamacare, Mitch McConnell ends his time in the...
