As the MAGA faithful gather for another day of CPAC in Grapevine, Texas, they are openly celebrating what they believe is tantamount to a major midterms victory: keeping President Donald Trump from endorsing John Cornyn ahead of May’s GOP Senate primary runoff. MAGA world is taking a victory lap — and fresh comfort — in the receipts: A lack of significant spending and polling so far by not only Cornyn’s campaign, but also the NRSC and One Nation, the Senate Leadership Fund-aligned nonprofit. It amounts to a pattern the MAGA cohort reads as Washington making peace with a matchup between...

Since the Senate debate began on the SAVE America Act, the Democrats have spent an awful lot of time denouncing the legislation as part of a sinister Republican conspiracy whose ultimate goal is to prevent legitimate voters from casting ballots in federal elections. …Here are ten of their biggest fibs:Lie # 1 – The SAVE America Act is a “voter suppression” billThis is the most frequently repeated lie about the SAVE America Act. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for example, describes his party’s position on the SAVE America Act as follows: “Our objection as Democrats is not to a...

@KenPaxtonTX Once again, John Cornyn is a coward who's silent. It's simple: cancel recess until the Save America Act is passed. Why is it always so hard for Cornyn to have the courage to do what's right? @JohnCornyn Doing what is right? Coming from a corrupt, self entitled, serial philanderer, that is rich. Judgement Day is coming.

Vice President JD Vance is projecting loyalty to Donald Trump as the president leads the United States into the type of war the Iraq veteran didn’t want — and as the new conflict complicates Vance’s political future. Vance allies have played down the impact the operation in Iran could have on his presidential ambitions, insisting that a mission involving the U.S. military only for a matter of weeks won’t stay in voters’ memories. People close to the vice president have also conceded to The Washington Post, however, that a months-long conflict will pose a problem for whoever is the next...

Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to bring up the SAVE America Act to overhaul election laws nationwide, kicking off what’s expected to be a highly contentious debate on the floor of the chamber. The vote was 51-48, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joining unified Democrats in opposition. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., didn't vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has promised “an extended debate” on the legislation, which President Donald Trump has labeled his “No. 1 priority.” But it doesn’t have a viable path to passing the Senate. The legislation would require Americans to show proof of citizenship — a passport or...

After many weeks of delay, debate, and unnecessary controversy, the U.S. Senate, as of Tuesday, has finally advanced vital election integrity legislation. The Save America Act would require proof of citizenship and an ID to register to vote or to vote in federal elections, which ought not to be controversial at all but which made RINOs like John Thune and Thomas Massie dither with anxiety and which absolutely enraged Democrats. Donald Trump had sworn not to sign any more legislation until the Senate actually passes the Save Act, since the legislation is key in this midterm election year, so the...

The video (uploaded March 17, 2026) covers Republican efforts in the Senate to advance the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a bill requiring proof of citizenship (documentary evidence) for federal voter registration and photo ID to vote. It passed the House narrowly but faces Senate hurdles due to the 60-vote filibuster threshold. Key points discussed: Senate Majority Leader John Thune has started procedural moves to open debate. Republicans are pushing a prolonged "talking filibuster" to force Democrats to publicly defend their opposition on live TV, hoping to build pressure (inspired by the 1964 Civil Rights Act tactic). Alternative paths...

Trump supporters who backed his promise to avoid new Middle East wars worry Iran’s attacks on shipping are pushing the U.S. toward escalation — and maybe even boots on the ground.When the U.S. started firing Tomahawk missiles at Iran late last month, many of President Donald Trump’s allies hoped it would be a quick, surgical operation, similar to last year’s strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities or the ouster of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in January. Though uneasy, they were reassured by the belief that Trump’s open-ended objectives gave him the flexibility to declare victory whenever he saw fit. Now, more...

Senate Democrats have filed legislation that would stop the U.S. from going to war with Cuba without congressional approval as President Trump has threatened a “takeover” of the country. Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine (Va.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.) and Adam Schiff (Calif.) on Thursday filed the war powers resolution, which could receive a vote by the end of the month. The resolution comes as Trump has said the U.S. could carry out a “friendly” or “not friendly takeover” of Cuba, predicting the collapse of the 67-year communist rule under pressure from the U.S. “Only Congress has the power to declare war...

Donald Trump has deployed thousands of US Marines to the Strait of Hormuz amid mounting fears that America is set to put troops on the ground as the world's oil supply is strangled. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth approved a request by US Central Command for the deployment of a Marine expeditionary unit, typically including several warships and 5,000 troops, three officials told the Wall Street Journal.The Japan-based USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, and its attached Marines are now headed for the Middle East, where they join other Marines already in the fight, the officials said. The war spiraled...

The IDF launched a surprise attack on Iran on Saturday morning, with Iranian state media reporting explosions have been heard in Tehran.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been arrested on his 66th birthday and is in police custody. Thames Valley Police said the eighth in line to the British throne has been held on suspicion of misconduct in public office. A force spokesman said officers are searching an address in Norfolk - believed to be Wood Farm where he is exiled - and an address in Berkshire, likely to be Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for more than 20 years until this month. 'The man remains in police custody at this time', the spokesman said - but the force would not...

President Trump is sending the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest warship, to the Middle East, along with a huge fleet of aerial refueling tankers and F-22 and F-35 strike fighters, according to reports. It would join the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in the Middle East as a major show of force amid US negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. The Ford — America’s most advanced aircraft carrier and the largest ever built — is designed to carry more than 75 aircraft, including F-35C Lightning II stealth fighters and F/A-18F Super Hornets, as well as EA-18G...

With all the recent attention on the remarkable price moves in gold and silver, it is surprising that the question of a comprehensive audit of the U.S. government’s gold reserves, a headline issue last year, has been conveniently memory-holed. For a time in early 2025, both President Trump and Elon Musk, in his semi-official capacity as head of DOGE (the so-called Department of Government Efficiency), were vocal advocates of a comprehensive accounting of U.S. gold reserves. President Trump announced plans to audit Fort Knox. Musk offered to video it. But then something happened. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave the public...

All those many many months focused on one primary task at Politico. Get Trump via the Epstein files. It is hard to underestimate the insane lengths Politico employed to somehow implicate President Donald Trump with the foibles of Jeffrey Epstein via the Epstein files. Politico acted if they just kept focusing on those files, damaging material just had to be found about Trump. The pathetic spectacle of Politico madly pursuing their political White Whale culminated last July when Politico was flooded with SIX Epstein stories in just one 24 hour period.So what was the end result of Politico's absurd Epstein-Trump...

Republicans are turning the heat back up on the Trump administration for its handling of the Epstein files. Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie torched FBI Director Kash Patel over the weekend after he caught the bureau chief off guard on information that Patel should have already been privy to. “I told Director Kash Patel that the FBI has names of 20 men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women and girls,” Massie wrote on X. “This basic fact seemed to surprise him. Why? “Is the FBI withholding those names to protect the President’s rich and powerful friends?” Massie continued, before demanding that...

The Department of Justice revealed Tuesday that there were only two witnesses to testify to the grand juries that indicted Jeffrey Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, on sex-trafficking charges. The revelation was made in a late-night filing that urged a Manhattan judge to unseal the transcripts and release the documents to the public, given the “abundant public interest” after it was announced that a review of the cases determined there was no Epstein client list. *** However, even if the judge agrees to the transcripts getting released, it would still only represent a small fraction of the mountain of...

@WallStreetApes Remember how we were told Jeffrey Epstein made his money in finance, wealth management and trading Charlie Kirk exposes Jeffrey Epstein HAD NO TRADES EVER made under his name “There are no trades to Jeffrey Epstein name at any of the trading desks — yet he ends up with a lifestyle you would think that he's worth $50 billion dollars” “He had multiple Gulf Streams jets, multiple. Each one is $30, $40, $50 million”
