    Democrats will stop at nothing to defile this great nation. Via PJ Media: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags. The “pride” flag literally represents sexual perversion. That’s how sick the Democratic Party has become. Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country. This brownish-green loogy hawked up and spat on Old Glory and the vets who...
  • Schumer embraced ID laws to counter fraud in the 1990s, but now calls voter ID ‘Jim Crow 2.0’

    A video has emerged of Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer in 1996 talking about the importance of ID checks to prevent welfare fraud by illegal immigrants. The video is going viral online as Mr. Schumer and the rest of his party now vehemently oppose Republicans’ voter ID legislation. He describes the GOP-authored SAVE America Act, which requires photo ID at the polls and proof of citizenship to register to vote, as “Jim Crow 2.0” and says it is designed to disenfranchise minorities. “Let’s admit the truth. Everywhere people go, they’re asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one...

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN this morning that Democrats' demands for reforms to immigration enforcement are "common sense." "We need masks off, we need cameras on and we need every police — every [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] officer, to be identified," Schumer said. "These are common sense proposals. They’re supported by the American people. Why won’t Republicans go for them? They don’t give any good answers. It’s something that every police department does across the country, but ICE is rogue, out of control."

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Sunday that he would be “introducing federal legislation to make the Pride Flag a congressionally authorized symbol.” In a post on X, Schumer criticized President Donald Trump for attacking “not just the LGBTQ community,” but everyone who cares “about pride and equality” in New York City (NYC). Schumer added that he was “proud to stand with” people such as New York State Rep. Tony Simone (D) and New York State Sen. Erik Bottcher (D) to make his announcement. “The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground,” Schumer wrote. “Last week, Donald Trump attacked not...

    While the mainstream media is trying to portray deporting illegal immigrants as an unpopular policy, a survey from Cygnal Polling indicates this policy is popular. Nearly two-thirds of voters think that illegal immigration is a serious problem. This includes 97% of Republicans, 71% of "swing" voters, 60% of independents, but only 33% of Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) discounted these results "because these polls only include registered voters. If elections were really restricted to this narrow constituency we would be worried. However, many states governed by our Party don't limit ballots to only those who are registered to...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders say a proposal from the White House is “incomplete and insufficient” as they are demanding new restrictions on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and threatening a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement late Monday that a White House counterproposal to the list of demands they transmitted over the weekend “included neither details nor legislative text” and does not address “the concerns Americans have about ICE’s lawless conduct.” The White House proposal was not released publicly. Schumer and Jeffries have said...

    When Chuck Schumer released a brief list of Senate Democratic demands for reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of his maneuvers just prior to the beginning of a partial government shutdown last week, he had the short-term tactical goal of looking both tough and reasonable. For the moment, it placated the Democrats, who wanted an all-out fight to radically change or even abolish ICE, while holding out the prospect of negotiations with Republicans if they agreed to separate Department of Homeland Security appropriations from the rest of a giant spending package. The gambit served its original purpose, but Schumer’s...

    Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) called on Senate Republicans on Sunday to move a government funding package without funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the week. Schumer urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and House GOP leaders to drop the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from the six-bill funding package that is due to come to the Senate floor this week. “Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” Schumer said in...

    FBI Director Kash Patel announced that "the FBI has captured more of this country's 'most wanted fugitives' in the last year than were captured during the whole four years Biden was president." Christopher Wray, the FBI Director appointed by President Trump and retained by President Biden until the end of his presidency, called Patel's comparison "unfair. We could've easily racked up many more arrests of the most wanted over the four years Biden held the office, but we were given different priorities. President Biden made it clear that our top priority was to go after what was then the former...

    WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is putting the brakes on his grand plans to hold an IndyCar race in DC to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pushing for the unusual race around the National Mall in August as Trump seeks out unconventional showcases for America’s leading sporting events. “We can’t get Schumer. Schumer is making it very difficult,” Trump told The Post in an exclusive Oval Office sitdown. “What’s wrong with him? Everybody wants to. Schumer doesn’t because he doesn’t want to see advertising near the Capitol,” the...

    President Trump sharply criticized President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA), saying "time has shown that this plan is not affordable and does not provide the results promised. The majority of those on the ACA were not able to keep their doctors. Nearly half of those on the ACA have just a single provider where they live. The premiums they must pay are high as are the deductibles. Most would've fared better if they had been allowed to buy catastrophic coverage, but the ACA didn't allow that. We need a better system." "My Great Healthcare Plan shifts the decision-making authority to...

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Democrats would “restore most of the cuts” that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had made. While taking part in a discussion at the Center for American Progress, Schumer received a question about what he “can do about bringing” the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) back, after DOGE came in and made cuts. “If you look at the budget actually, we’re working on right now — and we’ll have the T-HUD budget, you know, transportation and HUD budget, we restore most of the cuts and even go higher than previous...

    Back in the last year of the first Trump Administration Democrats said the President wasn't doing enough to punish Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) complained that "he hasn't brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than it was when the President began his term." In 2019, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill) complained "the people of Venezuela deserve better than this. We can't allow this President's short attention span to stop us from delivering on our promise to help the Venezuelan people rebuild their country." In...

    President Donald J. Trump just notched another huge win on the world stage, and Democrats are furious. At least, they want us to think they are. Trump greenlit the operation that snagged Nicolás Maduro, the narcoterrorist and socialist dictator. Now Maduro sits in American custody. Democrats want to believe that Trump committed a war crime, invaded another country, got us into an “illegal war,” and all that. But, they’re not angry about what Trump did. They’re angry because Trump did it after they spent years talking about it. Democrats spent years screeching about Maduro's iron-fisted rule. Unfortunately, their Trump Derangement...

Maybe the best metaphor was his claim to bring democracy to Venezuela. There was a big policy there. It flopped. If the policy was working, Juan Guaido wouldn't be in the balcony here, he'd be in Venezuela. He'd be sitting in the president's palace or at least waging a fight to win. He's here. And the president brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break. He hasn't brought an...

    After the capture and arrest of Venezuelan dictator and cartel leader Maduro, the untiring gentlemen of the Senate, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer, have vowed to pass a resolution blocking any action against Venezuela. Sen. Schumer, Sen. Adam Schiff, Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary’s former VP, and Sen. Rand Paul are teaming up on a resolution to try and turn back the clock. No word on whether it will ask for Maduro’s return. While Congress has a legitimate role in declaring war, this resolution is stupid and destructive to the point of being treasonous. President Trump has signaled that he’s not...
