Scurrying and sneaking, each looking for some Democrat godfather's blessing, the race to be King 'Rat is on. The battle to be King 'Rat among the rapidly sinking Democrats is now going full steam.

Hakeem Jeffries of New York slipped back to Washington to connect in Clyburn’s office during the summer congressional recess at Jeffries’ request. Jeffries, the fifth-ranking...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block a Georgia grand jury subpoena seeking testimony from Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, about his activities in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The court’s order was a paragraph long and did not note any dissents. It said that Mr. Graham had been afforded substantial protections by lower courts, which had ruled that he did not have to testify on subjects related to his official duties. “The lower courts assumed that the informal investigative fact-finding that Senator Graham assertedly engaged in constitutes legislative activity protected by the...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was “ignorant as hell” for saying electing Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker would change the narrative that Republicans are racist.

They’re buying the Senate races, and then they’re flooding the airwaves with nasty, nasty lies about the Democrats, and that’s it. People are fooled by that. You know, if...

Republican Congressman Ralph Norman declared Wednesday that everyone knows Joe Biden isn’t in charge of anything, and that in reality there is a secretive cabal of elitists that are running America.

I mean, a whole host of things.” Norman further urged, “look who is behind [Biden], Kamala Harris… she may speak...

BlackRock’s focus on the latest Wall Street craze—environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing—has turned into a risky affair for the world’s largest asset manager, a UBS analyst recently stated. Brennan Hawken, an analyst at the bank, downgraded the stock of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) from Buy to Neutral and slashed the stock price target from $700 to $585 over growing pushback to its ESG efforts. “We are downgrading BLK to Neutral based on environmental pressure to earnings and risk from the firm’s ESG positioning,” he said in a note, adding that BlackRock could face increased regulatory inspection and the possibility of...

Whoopi Goldberg was forced to apologize on The View Thursday after she joked that Sen Lindsey Graham was getting married

In December of 1776, General Washington and his small army were retreating back across New York, New Jersey, and into Pennsylvania. They were hungry, cold, and so lacking in necessities that many men were barefoot in freezing temperatures. Why were they there? Because just five and a half months earlier, the Declaration of Independence had been signed. These men believed in those self-evident truths so much, they were willing to die for them — as Nathan Hale said, his only regret was that he had “but one life to lose for his country.” As much as we might want to,...

Tuesday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized the investigation and the media for how both were handling the Hunter Biden laptop saga. Graham called for the investigation to follow the standard for former President Donald Trump when he was accused of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. “I believe that you should have somebody looking at Hunter Biden other than a Delaware prosecutor,” he said. “We’re having a prosecutor in the guy’s home state. The prosecutor is a fine fellow, but can you imagine what the left would do if I suggested we...
