The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive." That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump. Chuck Schumer melts down over...

After persistent Democrats obstruction to all Trump nominees using old Senate rules, Thune got the Senate rules CHANGED today to allow confirmation of Trump's nominees in batches. Today alone, 48 Trump nominees will be confirmed in a big batch. Expect more batch confirmations in coming weeks and months. Expect more crying and gnashing of teeth from the crazy Schume who's attempt to trade confirmations for money for his crazy projects come crashing down.

Late last week, Senate Republicans invoked the "nuclear option" to push through President Trump's nominees, after Senate Democrats dragged their feet on votes. In discussions prior to this, Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted, "It’s time to take steps to restore Senate precedent and codify in Senate rules what once was understood to be standard practice — and that is the Senate acting expeditiously on presidential nominations to allow a president to get his team into place."Democrats complained, of course, with Chuck Schumer using this as an opportunity to claim Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat.Today, the Senate voted under...

Kash Patel takes Democrat US Senators apart in US Senate hearing, including calling Schiff a “political buffoon” (watch Schiff’s face as Patel launches this vicious attach). It was just glorious to watch.

Republicans jammed through a change to Senate rules on Thursday that will allow them to more quickly confirm many of President Donald Trump’s nominees. The move came over the objections of Democrats after bipartisan negotiations collapsed. The rules change will allow nominees to be considered en bloc, or as a group, as tensions have grown over several months between the two parties over the backlog of President Donald Trump’s nominees awaiting Senate confirmation. The vote was 45-53. Bipartisan negotiators worked furiously Thursday to reach an agreement that would head off Republicans from using the so-called nuclear option to allow the...

If you, by chance, believed that congressional committees were helmed by elected officials who did their homework and were trying to do more than get face time on the evening news, you certainly learned this week what a farce these hearings can be. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, members of which are richly financed by the pharmaceutical companies that have made mountains of money on vaccines: [video at link] If you didn’t realize before this that the CDC needs a thorough housekeeping after it mandated -- with no scientific basis -- six-foot distances and...

In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, claiming he has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.” “Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” the statement read. Joe Kennedy further called for RFK’s resignation from the agency. The comments come one day after RFK’s explosive Senate Finance Committee hearing, where he held his own against the relentless Democrats on the committee. Full statement below: [Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and...

"We are the sickest country in the world. That's why we have to fire people at the CDC ... They did not do their job! This was their job to keep us healthy!" —Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. What a gruesome spectacle it was to see HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. take on a conclave of vicious grifters on the Senate Finance Committee straining to warp reality in defense of their mighty patron, the nation-wrecking pharmaceutical companies. Do you understand how deep, convoluted, and grave the political sickness is? Over the years, the public health agencies and “big pharma” had...

There is a lot on chest thumping and harrumphing going on right now about what RFK Jr is doing at HHS. He testified before a Senate committee yesterday and handily whacked the opposition, bringing up some truly valid points. We've been lied to repeatedly: First, RFK Jr. broke down the TRUTH about Pharma’s Covid-19 coverup: “We were lied to about everything.” Democrats accused him of “politicizing” HHS—but he exposed that EVERYTHING about Pharma’s Covid narrative was a lie. “The whole process was politicized.” “We were lied to about natural immunity.” “We were told again and again the vaccines would prevent...

VIDEOHow many of us are desperate to be worthy of earning a Starfish pin? As we all know it is the highest honor, above that of even the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that can be bestowed upon a civilian. So when Senator Ben Ray Lujan (D)umb New Mexico refused to give his Starfish pin to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the recent Senate Hearing it completely devastated him as you can see by the look of total grief on RFK's face in reaction to the sad news.

He told the Senate Finance Committee that Susan Monarez told him she was not ‘trustworthy.’Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he fired Susan Monarez from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because she told him she was not “trustworthy.”Kennedy’s comments came in response to questions from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a Thursday hearing before the Senate Finance Committee about the agency’s plans. Warren had asked the secretary why he decided earlier this month to abruptly fire Monarez, then the CDC’s director, who was confirmed by the Senate in late July.“I told her she had to resign because...

See video. Sen. John Kennedy who states: "We need to restore confidence and so far I don't see where Secretary Kennedy has done that. All I see over there is at the moment is a multiple vehicle pileup.” See comments. Sen. Kennedy just took a swim in the swamp sewer. Why would he do this to himself? I had a lot of respect for his common sense and he just destroyed is Rep in my book. It will be a long long time before I stop listening askance to anything this swamp rat says. He clearly lacks common sense. It's...

After burying multiple Democratic Senators intent on trying to destroy his political career, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got his chance to dunk on arguably the most notorious Senators in America. As expected, he did not disappoint. As NBC News reported, Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to answer questions. This comes one week after Kennedy pushed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, Susan Monarez, to resign. The White House fired her when she refused, and three top CDC officials then resigned in protest. The hearing got testy in a hurry after far-left, Big Pharma hack...

Kennedy Jr. during a Thursday hearing from several people who say they’ve been left in the lurch, denied vaccines after recent CDC decisions to change recommendations. “I would say, effectively, we’re denying people vaccines,” Cassidy said after reading the messages from conservative radio host Erick Erickson and a friend of the Louisiana Republican, who is a doctor.
