Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., erupted over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) while delivering remarks to colleagues on the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday. During a markup of bills related to providing the House with information on DOGE access to Treasury Department payment systems and the Social Security Administration, Larson turned red and shouted at Republican colleagues, "You will do whatever Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell you to do. "Where's the independence of the committee? Where's the legislature? We're an equal branch of government," an enraged Larson yelled, "Look at the empty seats here....

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) launched an unhinged rant Sunday against President-elect Donald Trump — claiming the nation was on the “eve of an authoritarian administration.” The lefty lawmaker representing parts of Queens and the Bronx let loose during a series of Instagram videos in which she slammed TikTok for crediting Trump for the social media platform’s return after it was briefly offline in the United States this weekend. “We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration,” the congresswoman said a day before Trump’s inauguration. “This is what 21st-century fascism is starting to look like.”

Bill Burr is fired up. The comedian and actor, 56, blasted insurance companies and praised accused UnitedHealthcare CEO-shooter Luigi Mangione while speaking about the LA fires during his Tuesday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Burr revealed that, like many people in Los Angeles, he had to evacuate after flames threatened his home. “I got lucky,” he said. “You know, the winds moved. “And I think everybody did a great job. Unlike the internet,” he added, alluding to the rapacious criticism of state and local officials’ response to the fires. Burr went on to mock online critics who liken themselves to...

Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, has resigned after receiving fierce backlash for her online expletive-filled tirade where she called Trump voters “f–king fascists” on election night. “I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” Helmuth announced on her Bluesky account Thursday. “I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).” The president of the magazine, Kimberly Lau, said that Helmuth decided to step down on her own. She thanked Helmuth for her time leading Scientific American, noting that the magazine “won major science communications awards...

Both Harris and Trump are campaigning in the crucial swing state of Michigan on Friday. A new highly weighted Michigan poll shows 21% of Democrats now support Trump. Kamala Harris buckled under the pressure on Friday and went on an unhinged Hillary-style rant. “[Trump] should never again have the privilege of standing behind the seal of President of the United States!” Kamala Harris shouted. “Never again! Never again! Never again!” WATCH:

One of the things that is just so infuriating is when you look at the way Democrats and Republicans are treated in the media, in particular, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus former President Donald Trump. They are constantly telling lies and repeating hoaxes about Trump, yet the media not only doesn't call them out on it, they repeat it and spread the hoaxes without question. Then they say Trump lies. It's a constant propaganda war machine to indoctrinate the public. The good thing is now, with the rise of new and independent media, that we can push back against...

Like Hillary Clinton herself, The Handmaid’s Tale / abortion metaphor is old, worn out, and seems to never, ever go away. This past weekend, Hillary Clinton reportedly rolled out the cliché one more time during an appearance at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, where the failed presidential candidate was on hand to promote the new abortion-themed documentary Zurawski v Texas, a documentary she produced about a group of women who sued the Lone Star state last year. At the screening, Hillary exhorted the sympathetic audience to “get back to a time when your government is not determining what your...

President Joe Biden angrily attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur during his press conference on Thursday for mentioning in a recent report that the president had trouble remembering when his son Beau died. As Breitbart News reported, Robert Hur said in his report that the president has suffered from cognitive decline, which has affected his memory. Hur even used this as a basis to recommend that he not be prosecuted for “willfully” retaining classified documents. Per the report:

Prominent progressive activist and independent presidential candidate Cornel West is facing backlash after declaring his solidarity with “anybody who’s occupied” — claiming that his “people,” too, have “dished out love warriors and freedom fighters,” as he attacked the “American empire” and “cowards in Washington, DC,” for their unwillingness to capitulate to Hamas’s demand for a ceasefire. Speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally in front of the UN headquarters in New York on Saturday, Ivy League professor Dr. Cornel West described being from a “people who, for 400 years, have been terrorized, traumatized, and hated.” Because, he argued, he comes from a...

Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his claims that the Bidens are a “crime family” and likened their suspected wrongdoings to “Watergate times 10.” Trump’s withering criticism of President Biden and his clan came just days after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, claimed in a Fox News interview that at least 12 members of the first family were involved in an “influence-peddling scheme.” “What Congressmen James Comer and Jim Jordan have revealed about the ‘Biden Crime Family’ would be Watergate times 10, if this news was revealed just 10 years ago,” Trump said in the video posted to...

Wednesday, during his show’s opening monologue, FNC host Tucker Carlson reiterated his criticism of the United States’ involvement in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Carlson mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to a joint session of Congress, likening the Ukrainian leader to a strip club manager

I usually leave my spouse rants to other forums (and on occasion - my ears). But her rant about the latest Supreme Court ruling has received so many digital fist-bumps that I had to share it here. With that said, I humbly present to you - my wife - lady jimjohn (un-redacted). ___________________________________________________________ With apologies to my more delicate friends: I will give you a minute to leave the room before I rant... Ok. To the rest of you: I don’t care what side of this issue you are on…stop with the drama and overreacting. This decision changes very little....

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Galatians 5:13 (King James Version) It appears the Center for Disease Control is beginning to feel the heat as the exposure from the people is becoming more intense. It appears the attorneys are revealing the coup for what it was, a way for the Communist Party to systematically steal an election using Cold-19 protocols to flood the election with fake ballots. For Democrats any amount of murder always justifies the means. Yet they are outraged a...

Many people have been at a loss as to why freedom-loving Americans, especially conservatives, are not fully on board with Ukraine. Can’t they see this for what it obviously is? – a clear-cut case of an aggressor, invading a sovereign country, without provocation? – a pure and simple case of good versus evil?Well,…After six years of nonstop hoaxes and hysteria;After six years of being cynically subjected to the politics of panic-porn, where everything is a potentially world-ending catastrophe, and one “unprecedented crisis” after another is breathlessly rolled out to keep people terrified and on edge;After two years of censorship, deception,...

“ Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) which was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur? It was shot down on July 17, 2014, while flying over Eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Immediately the US accused Russia and then imposed sanctions on them. It was shot down by the Ukrainian Nazis with an old Russian missile that Russia was no longer using. They did so trying to get the US to enter their revolution against Russians living there in Donestk. Why has Zelensky refused to allow those people to vote? Russia had no...

Lame duck Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who serves on the January 6 committee, but was nonetheless drawn out of his congressional district by Illinois Democrats, tweeted an error-filled rant Wednesday against Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Kinzinger, a veteran who is often hawkish on foreign policy, took issue with Hawley’s effort to encourage peace between Ukraine and Russia by dropping U.S. support for Ukrainian membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
