A top Democrat in the House has detailed how her caucus is prepared to help Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy keep his job in exchange for ending the impeachment inquiry he launched into President Joe Biden’s actions just weeks ago. Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D-MA), the minority whip, promised she could marshal the votes to help McCarthy avoid an attempt by conservative Republicans to vacate the speaker’s chair which would require near-unanimous support from Democrats as well. Rep. Clark told POLITICO that she also intends to force McCarthy into a corner on aid to Ukraine and his ongoing negotiations with the White...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden. “I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.” A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border...

Megadonor Tells DeSantis to Get Moderate or Else, Within Hours DeSantis Dismisses 2020 “Stolen Election Theories” as False August 4, 2023 | Sundance | 24 Comments These two events are not coincidental. Ron DeSantis megadonor Robert Bigelow (below right) is already into the failing DeSantis campaign for $20 million. Billionaire donor Bigelow tells Reuters that he has told the DeSantis managers the candidate needs to take moderate positions, or he will not donate any more money {LINK HERE}. Ron DeSantis is then questioned by reporters in Iowa about the Trump indictment and the claims of the 2020 election being stolen....

As my colleague Nick Arama pointed out, former Vice President Mike Pence’s tweet commentary on the latest Trump indictment pretty much finished his campaign and sealed his fate. Pence has made himself unlikeable, and he will never be president—at least not of these United States of America.Way to sink your campaign still further. Somehow, even the random person on the street knows that we are at a precarious time with the government being weaponized against us—and that we need to stand together against it if we are to uphold the rule of law and the protections of the Constitution. But...

We are entering unchartered territory with political advertisements these days, presenting serious moral and ethical questions.Politico recently reported about a new anti-Trump TV advertisement funded by ‘Never Back Down,’ a pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC that has used AI (artificial intelligence) technology.The advertisement focuses on President Trump’s criticism of Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds in an attempt to push two narratives.The first is to imply that President Trump has disdain for conservatives.The second is to suggest he disrespected the highest elected official of the first caucus state of the primary, and thus disrespected Iowans, too, since she was their choice.A section of...

RNC Research @RNCResearch BIDEN (last week): "I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things..." 4:01 PM · Jun 26, 2023

Over the last two weeks, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has been sounding more and more like an establishment Republican. During the House Speaker voting sessions, MTG emphatically called Rep. Gaetz and Rep. Lauren Boebert along with 18 other Republican lawmakers “destructionist” for voting against McCarthy. Here’s the video for context: Now when a reporter asked MTG if Biden is the legitimately elected President of the United States, she responded “Of course Joe Biden’s the president. That’s always a silly question.” Just watch:

A small but vocal group of Republican senators is furious with GOP leadership over the agreement with Democrats to approve a massive year-end spending bill that will fund the federal government through next September. The bipartisan deal has created a schism between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican colleagues in both chambers — including House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy — who accuse Mr. McConnell and his leadership of rolling over to help Democrats pass a major budget on the brink of a government shutdown and the holidays without knowing what’s in it. “I don’t see any reason why Republicans...

Senate Republicans, who overwhelmingly re-elected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to leadership, appear ready to pass immigration reform that will not come with added border security during the lame-duck session.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) pledged on Tuesday to sell out the American people by trying to advance amnesty for illegal aliens after striking a deal on gun control. After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tapped Cornyn to negotiate a deal on gun control, he now promised to move forward on a deal on amnesty. “First guns, now it’s immigration,” Cornyn told Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA). “That’s right, we’re going to do it,” said Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). Andrew Surabian, a former Donald Trump administration official, said in reaction to Cornyn’s pledge for amesty, “From selling out on gun control to...

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures earlier today. During their discussion Senator Cotton argued that the US Congress had to give $40 billion to Ukraine in military aid or China will attack Taiwan. This was after they were discussing the record inflation rate in the US today. Tom Cotton: It’s important that we support the Ukrainians as they defend themselves against this war of aggression by Vladimir Putin. So, first off I do understand the reservations some people had about the legislation. And there was some excessive or unnecessary measures. But a lot of that...

Former Attorney General William Barr claims in a new book that he yelled at his boss, then-President Donald Trump over a discussion regarding Hunter Biden shortly before the November 2020 election. “In his upcoming book, ‘One Damn Thing After Another,’ Barr recalled that in October 2020, Trump called soon after a Newsmax segment on Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Fox News reported Wednesday. “Reports about the computer revolved around emails that appeared to connect Joe Biden to his son’s business dealings when the elder Biden was vice president,” the report continued. “You know this stuff from Hunter Biden’s laptop?” Trump asked Barr,...

Howard Stern used to be this hardcore, edgy guy. If you were looking for someone who bucked the system and went rogue, Howard was your guy. He was a fighter for free speech and was actually fired several times for standing up for the First Amendment. Howard was brave and courageous. But that man no longer exists. Howard Stern is now a big pharma/government stooge, who is so scared of his own shadow and filled with so much hate and bitterness, he can hardly see straight. Now, instead of fighting for the little guy, you can often find Howard lashing...

The US and EU have agreed to end a festering dispute over US steel and aluminium tariffs imposed by former president Donald Trump in 2018, removing an irritant in transatlantic relations and averting a spike in EU retaliatory tariffs, US officials have said.

Pence urges young conservatives to get COVID-19 vaccine Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday urged young conservatives to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as the country grapples with rising case counts amid the spread of the highly contagious delta variant. "Now let me say this about the vaccine: I got the shot. My family got the shot. And I want to encourage anyone here who hasn’t gotten the shot who’s eligible to go get it. And if you’re not sure about it, go ask your doctor and get the very best advice you can," Pence told the Young America Foundation's...
