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....

Government workers are reeling after President Donald Trump’s administration presented a “payout” to federal employees refusing to return to the office on a full-time basis. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent an email to millions of government employees on Tuesday, offering eight months of pay if they resigned by Feb. 6. In response, federal employees and Democratic representatives have lodged anonymous complaints to media outlets. This followed Trump’s executive order forcing government workers to return to the office on a full-time basis on Jan. 20. “It was the batshit craziest email I’ve ever read,” one anonymous employee told...

January is shaping up to be the coldest in a decade as the polar vortex dips south across the eastern half of the United States — shocking a nation that has enjoyed an unusually balmy end of the year. “It’s going to get cold, and then very cold,” a Fox Weather meteorologist told The Post Monday. “Based on the latest long-range data, this January has the potential to be the coldest since 2014,” they added. Temperatures are expected to begin dropping from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast around Thursday, but the real plunge will set in sometime between...

Kamala Harris now has supporters screaming at little children in strollers. Will @KamalaHarris or her campaign @KamalaHQ condemn this atrocious behavior?

As I walk around Borovsk, two things strike me about this town 60 miles (100km) from Moscow. First, there is almost no sign of the presidential election coming up this weekend. I see few election banners or billboards and no political flyers being handed out. Not surprising, really. The absence of election preparations mirrors the absence of drama surrounding a stage-managed event that will hand Vladimir Putin a fifth term in the Kremlin. The other thing you can't help noticing in Borovsk is the street art. It's everywhere. Much of it has been created by street artist Vladimir Ovchinnikov. All...

*** Trump ***, fumed on Truth Social over a report that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan had agreed to testify before the Fulton County panel Tuesday. “I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff [sic] Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn’t,” Trump posted. *** “He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way.” *** “WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT I DID NOT TAMPER WITH...

Below is my column in the Hill on the Tennessee controversy over the expulsion of two Tennessee legislators. Liberal members and pundits have lionized the two legislators who shutdown the proceedings while declaring the GOP “fascists.” The controversy perfectly captured our increasingly amplified age of rage. Here is the column: Nobel Laureate Albert Camus once said, “Insurrection is certainly not the sum total of human experience but … it is our historic reality.” Those words came to mind this week when Tennessee’s House of Representatives expelled two members accused of disrupting legislative proceedings in what some called an “insurrection” or...

Plant owners know just how difficult it can be to figure out what they need, especially when leaves start browning or wilting. But it turns out that plants may have been telling you all along. A new study found that when plants are stressed, they emit specific sounds that identify what's wrong. Previous studies had shown that plants vibrate when under stress, but for years, scientists have debated whether those vibrations become sound waves. By studying tomato and tobacco plants in an acoustic chamber inside a greenhouse, researchers at Tel Aviv University discovered that it's true – plants cry out...

A Cantonment man was charged after he was allegedly found naked and screaming in the front yard of a local residence. William Kevin Owen, 45, was charged with trespassing, resisting arrest without violence and indecent exposure. Deputies arrived at a Cantonment residence to find Owen completely naked in the front yard, according to an arrest report. He refused to place his hands behind his back and was taken to the ground by deputies who grabbed his legs and upper body, the report continues. A resident of the home told deputies he was inside his home when he heard Owen screaming...

Screaming’ Florida Democrat lawmakers on Tuesday shut down the state House in protest of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) redistricting map. The radical and rowdy lawmakers stood in the middle of the House floor and sang, “We shall overcome.” They also chanted slogans like “we will occupy this floor” and “black votes are under attack” to prevent the maps from passing the House. The map passed the Senate on Wednesday. If the map passes the House on Thursday, DeSantis will sign it into law.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – When Southern California’s theme parks reopen as early as April, it could be with one very significant and silent difference: no screaming on rides. The California Attractions and Parks Association (CAPA), a trade group which represents theme parks statewide, is backing a plan that would tamp down on shouting on rides, such as rollercoasters, in an effort to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus... California’s reopening guidelines calls for businesses to limit activities that can spread the virus, such as singing and shouting. That means that visitors to parks such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six...

Alyssa Milano wants everyone to know she’s been “SCREAMING” for election reform, lest President Donald Trump capture the White House again in 2020. “I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT THIS SINCE 2016. AND YOU SHOULD BE SCREAMING TOO,” the liberal activist and Hollywood actress tweeted on Tuesday. “Look, if we don’t have secure elections, we’re done,” Milano told the entertainment outlet. “Because the country is so divided, it is essential that voters can trust the results of the election.” “They’ve done it before, there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t do it again,” Milano said of Russian intervention in U.S. elections....

An Illinois Republican congressman told constituents at a town hall meeting on Wednesday that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton screamed at a fellow member of Congress two days after a U.S. diplomatic station in Benghazi, Libya was destroyed, merely for saying aloud that the attack was carried out by terrorist groups.. The Obama administration later acknowledged that reality. But White House officials initially maintained that the deaths of four Americans and the firebomb attack on the State Department mission was the result of a spontaneous protest against a low-budget YouTube film that was critical of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. 'Two...

Remember kiddies... This is the same bunch that told us that Hillary had a 99% chance of winning on the morning of Election Day.

This never gets old! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDYNVH0U3cs

NEW YORK CITY — It was supposed to be a moment of catharsis for an anticipated 2,800 “liberal snowflakes” at Washington Square Park in Manhattan on the one year anniversary of the president’s shocking 2016 White House win. Instead the “scream helplessly at the sky” gathering was ironically hijacked by a handful of MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporters who came to revel in the misery of those distressed over Trump’s presidency. “They’re in pain and that’s a good thing,” Trump supporter Michael Darr, 32, said after making his way into the center of the crowd. “No Trump! No KKK! No fascist...

Borrowing from the title, What Happened’, of their chief mentor’s book, ‘life went on, Trump’s still in the White House. By now even the loudest screamers in their midst must know that one year ago today the train left the station without them Democrats will be crowing about last night election wins in New Jersey and Virginia all day long today, but by nightfall surrogate donkeys will be braying louder out in city parks in an anti-Trump protest touted as “screaming helplessly at the sky”. That’s what it’s come down to one year after the Nov. 8, 2016 presidential election.

So, isn't today the day when hundreds of Bernie and Hillary supporters are supposed to stand outside and scream helplessly and hopelessly at the sky because they lost? I would Love, Love, Love it if FReepers posted videos from the various cities of these mental midgets performing their screams.

If both the Dem party and their running-dog activists could be identified by sound, it would be from donkey braying to pitiful squeaks, to a last ditch desperate attempt calling for screaming at the sky Activists who come on the goose step to every order issued by their progressive/left masters will do anything to amplify the pitiful squeak the Russians-stole-the-election front has now been reduced to. The pathetic squeak heard throughout the Hillary Clinton/Democratic National Committee coven will be boosted November 8 by ear-piercing “Scream helplessly at the sky” events on the anniversary of the 2016 election. You can’t make...

Father Josiah Trenham mentioned “intimidation” to the parishioners of St. Andrew Orthodox Church, and he was quite right: Islamic supremacists and jihadis routinely traffic in intimidation. That’s based on a Qur’anic command: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows” (Qur’an 8:60). When they practice this intimidation, they generally find Westerners — especially Christian leaders — unwilling and unable to do anything in response but submit to...
