    As President Donald Trump began his speech to Congress on Wednesday, video-game streamer Asmongold went live to react to speech for his millions of followers. 'That is a new tie, I haven't seen that at all,' he commented as Trump entered the congressional chamber wearing a purple tie and started shaking hands with members of Congress. Asmongold, whose real name is Zach Hoyt, is an American content creator, YouTuber, and Twitch streamer with about 5.4 million followers across platforms. After spotting a member of Congress holding a sign behind Trump that read 'This is not normal,' Hoyt commented, 'Yeah, I've...

    Democratic lawmakers faced criticism this week for their behavior during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. Their protests, refusal to clap at key moments, and subsequent comments drew criticism from Republicans and from some in their own party. "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario traveled to Capitol Hill to track down Democratic lawmakers and ask why they refused to stand and clap for the nonpartisan moments in the address. "You didn't stand up for anything," Belisario noted to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. "The president got before the American people and didn’t talk about how he...
  • Pelosi Tore Up Trump’s 2020 Speech; Had to Watch Him from Benches in 2025

    Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who infamously tore up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in 2020, had to watch in frustrated silence from the House benches as he addressed Congress on Tuesday. Pelosi, gripping her cane, resigned her leadership post after the 2022 congressional elections, in which Republicans retook the House. She had held a firm grip on power in her party — even after leading it to historic defeat in 2010. In 2020, she was in the midst of an effort to impeach and remove President Trump from power. When he delivered a...

    Trump also pointed out a 13-year-old boy in the gallery who is battling cancer and has been made an honorary police officer. The president said that he was making the child an agent of the Secret Service. "Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is DJ Daniel, he is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer," Trump said. "But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer, the doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago....

    Tonight after President Trump honored “DJ”, the 13 year old cancer survivor who wants to be a police officer, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said something truly horrific. In the video below, she starts out saying all the right things. She says she was moved or touched by the story and hopes DJ lives a long life and has a successful career as a police officer. Everything was basically fine until the end of her little monologue where she just had to get her nasty little jab in and that’s where things went south and X / formerly Twitter is enraged over...

    The Democratic Party is, put mildly, struggling here in the early part of the year of our Lord 2025. After a decisive defeat at the hands of a man who they devoted all of their energy to destroying, Dems have been forced to stand by and watch as that man rapidly undoes all of the nefarious things that they did for the last four years in an attempt to shred the Constitution of the United States and establish permanent one-party rule. Worse yet for them, the majority of Americans are cheering on all that's happening. A political party serious about...

    Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. Stephen Colbert also mocked the protests in a segment on his CBS’ “The Late Show,” sarcastically noting how the “Democrats are getting ready to fight back with their little paddles.”

    VIDEONothing better illustrates the Democrats taking the losing side of an 80/20 divide than the public reaction to the House Sergeant At Arms being forced to REMOVE a howling lunatic Wolfman aka Al Green from the House Chamber during President Trump's speech. The divide on unfavorable to favorable reactions was EXACTLY 80/20 as you can see with the Democrats once again being on the LOSING side.

    Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. The Democratic lawmakers were trolled after showing up to the joint session of Congress Tuesday night brandishing the black signs — complete with phrases like “false” and “Musk Steals” — which they repeatedly flashed as Trump was delivering his speech. But the stunt was widely ripped for falling flat — even among notoriously left-leaning MSNBC hosts and late night comedians. “Why are democrats just sitting there? The signs...

    At some point during tonight’s State of the Union, President Barack Obama will likely glance up and to the left of his podium, gesture toward the gallery, and mention one of the unknown Americans seated in the first lady’s box. This year their names include Edith Childs and Earl Smith, but insiders have a different name for them: “Skutniks,” in reference to the first everyday American invited by a president to embellish the State of the Union. Lenny Skutnik was a local hero, a Congressional Budget Office employee who plunged into the frigid Potomac after an Air Florida plane crash...

    House Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday invited President Trump to share his “America First vision” while addressing a joint session of Congress on March 4 – the first State of the Union during the commander in chief’s second term in office. “America’s Golden Age has begun,” Johnson (R-La.) wrote in a letter to Trump. “Thanks to your strong leadership and bold action in the first days of your presidency, the United States is already experiencing a resurgence of patriotism, unity, and hope for the future.” “Your administration and the 119th Congress working together have the chance to make these next...
  • Flashback: Trump signs Right to Try Act for terminally ill patients

    BBC ^ | 30 May 2018
    President Donald Trump has signed a bill giving terminally ill patients the right to try experimental treatments not approved by the government. ... The new Right to Try act allows patients with life-threatening diseases to bypass the FDA's application process for "compassionate use" of experimental drugs. Patients seeking access to "investigational drugs" now need only the approval of their physician and the drug manufacturer. The new bill protects doctors and companies from the legal risks of allowing unapproved treatments unless they intentionally harm a patient. The policy that patients must have exhausted all other approved treatments and clinical trial options...

    In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly apologized to President Joe Biden for rolling his eyes at the president’s angry State of the Union address in March. Johnson’s office did not deny his apology when Breitbart News asked for comment. The apology is the latest revelation that suggests Johnson’s sympathies lie with the establishment and Washington, DC, elites, rather than with the voters who elected him to Congress and the Republican conference.

Kareem Nikoui, who was killed during the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing, stated that the charges against him for interrupting President Joe Biden’s State of the Union haven’t been dropped and no one from the Biden administration has tried to help him, which he isn’t surprised by, because Biden won’t recognize his own grandchild and “it’s nothing new. It’s been this way for the last two-and-a-half years.” Fox News Congressional Correspondent Aishah...

    PALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively that Laken Riley’s parents are “great people” who “lost an angel” when an illegal alien that Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration allowed into the country allegedly killed their daughter. Trump met with Riley’s parents last weekend while he was campaigning in Georgia. At a rally in Rome, Georgia, over the weekend, Trump met with Laken’s father, Jason Riley, and mother, Allyson Phillips. In late February, Laken Riley went out for a jog but was murdered. Biden for weeks refused to...
