  • Inventing the ‘West Bank’: Its very existence of proves that the “Palestinian” people have no connection to the land

    On December 6, 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (Republican of Arkansas) introduced a bill in the Senate to replace “West Bank” in all federal documents with “Judea and Samaria,” noting, “The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria go back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.” His bill matches a House bill introduced earlier this year by Representatives Claudia Tenney, Randy Weber, and Anthony D’Esposito. Yes, they are the Jewish names but also the world’s. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly...
  • Kaine: ‘Haven’t Followed the Issue of’ Border Wall Material Disposal, ‘We’ll Deal With That As It Comes’

    On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) stated that he hasn’t paid attention to the issue of whether or not the Biden administration is disposing of border wall material and “We are expecting this to be a top priority next year, and we’ll deal with that as it comes.” After discussing Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) request for records preservation on border wall materials, host Bret Baier asked, “Sen. Kaine, about that, obviously, we had an election and immigration was one of the issues. And there are some people at home saying, why get...

    West Point said the discrepancy on Hegseth's relationship with the school was because of an "administrative error" but that a further review confirmed that he was accepted into West Point in 1999, but did not attend the university. Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton on Wednesday called for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to conduct an internal investigation into allegations that it repeatedly lied to a member of the press about Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. A reporter at ProPublica claimed that an official at the school told them on the record twice that Hegseth was never accepted into...
  • GOP Drama: Cotton Blocks Cornyn for Senate Intelligence Chair

    Senate Republicans have discussed elevating Sen. John Cornyn to chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to party officials, a move that would hand Cornyn a prized gavel as consolation for losing his GOP leader bid and could help induce him to run for reelection in two years. The complication, and almost certain deal-breaker: Cornyn would have to leapfrog the Republican next in line to chair the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Cotton has privately made clear to Cornyn he would claim the position. Likely ensuring Cotton’s ascension to the chair is the raw politics of last month’s...

    When Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton speaks, people listen. Whether those "listeners" are Republicans, Democrats, or members of the media, Cotton's words carry weight. This is not to suggest that "all of the above" agree with the Arkansas senator, but they do know that he's a no-nonsense, bottom-line guy. So when Cotton posted to X (formerly, Twitter) that he suspects that all of President-elect Donald Trump's nominees will be confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate, chances are he had already done his homework before making such a statement.I expect our Republican Senate is going to confirm all of President Trump's nominees.—...
  • GOP Senators Who Could Block Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation Took Huge Checks From Defense Industry

    Daily Caller ^ | 12/5/24 | Adam Pack
    Senate GOP hawks who receive large sums from the defense industry could be mobilizing to tank one of President-elect Donald Trump’s national security nominees. Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by Trump to helm the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, could face opposition from Senate Republicans with hawkish views on national security over her beliefs on Ukraine and government surveillance powers. Though a considerable number of Trump-aligned senators have endorsed Gabbard, citing her decades-long military service and commitment to reforming the country’s intelligence agencies that have been frequently weaponized against the president-elect, GOP senators whose national security...

    Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said that the US is not providing Israel with support in its current conflict with the Hezbollah terrorist organization, including intelligence, Singh replied "no" when asked by a reporter if the US is providing any form of support to Israel in the Lebanon conflict. Earlier, US Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wrote a joint letter to President Joe Biden accusing the Biden Administration of continuing to delay the delivery of vital military equipment to Israel. The two senators wrote: "We write to strongly condemn your administration's continued delay in providing...

    Republican Senator Tom Cotton clashed with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins live on air after GOP senators on Tuesday tanked a bill protecting access to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility treatments for a second time this year. The interview started off hostile with Collins asking the Arkansas lawmaker if he would have voted for a similar bill if Donald Trump were in office. The ex-president on the campaign trail has called for the government paying for or ensuring insurance pays all costs for fertility treatment.

    Twitchy.com ^ | 9/8/2024 | Sam J.
    Dana Bash was none too impressed after she interviewed Kamala Harris and her Emotional Support Governor, Tim Walz. We suppose even she couldn't argue with the fact that out of 41 minutes all they could use was a whopping 18 minutes. Hard to claim the interview went well when Americans saw it and could tell differently. But still, this is surprisingly honest from Bash, watch: The post continues: 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me' should be the approach of the American people towards the Biden-Harris administration. Wow. Sounds like Dana is more than willing...

    Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris because former President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), who beat an incumbent Liz Cheney. Host Dana Bash said, “I want to start with some of the endorsements that Kamala Harris got this week, particularly from former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and her father, the former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.”

    Kristen Welker, the moderator of NBC’s weekly Sunday political interview show “Meet the Press,” falsely asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris met with the Gold Star families of the 13 American troops who were killed during the ill-fated US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Welker made the comment as she interviewed Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who took the Biden-Harris administration to task for their treatment of the families. Cotton noted that Harris, the Democratic nominee for the presidency, had not yet met with the kin of the 13 service members who were killed when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device at...

    NBC News’ Meet the Press admitted Sunday that anchor Kristen Welker had been incorrect to say that Vice President Kamala Harris had met the families of Americans killed in Afghanistan — though it also botched the correction. In an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Welker challenged the Republican over former President Donald Trump’s visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery to pay his respects to the 13 fallen American soldiers on the third anniversary of the terror attack on Abbey Gate at the international airport in Kabul. The Harris/Walz campaign accused Trump of politicizing the memorial, amid controversy over...

    Former President Donald Trump suggested he may skip the Sept. 10 presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News. In a Truth Social post on Sunday night, Trump said to “Stay tuned” after he laid out the reasons why he may skip the debate, which included Harris turning down debating on other news networks and significant criticism of ABC News’s anchors. “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do...

    Sen. Tom Cotton is proof an Ivy League degree doesn’t guarantee an understanding of basic word definitions. In fact, the Arkansas Republican showed during a Tuesday interview on CNN that he has no idea what the word “coup” means. Here’s the back story: Ever since Joe Biden stepped down as a presidential candidate on Sunday, the Republicans who previously demanded he step down got mad that he stepped down, and claimed it was a “coup.” It’s not. A coup is typically defined as “the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group,” and not “delegates of...

    President Trump is arguably winning this election, but we need to shoot for more than a razor-thin victory. We should shoot for a landslide. We need a critical mass of Americans supporting him, not just to get him into the White House but to enable him to enact the conservative agenda that will revitalize this country and, to borrow a phrase, make America great again. That means he needs the support of not only the Trump Devoted but also the Trump Curious as well as the Trump Dubious. He gets that by showing he is serious about governing. He scored...

    Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he stood by certifying the 2020 presidential election results of Joe Biden’s victory. Partial transcript as follows: JON KARL: OK. Senator, the day before that violent mob attacked the Capitol, you put out a statement explaining your decision to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Do you stand by that? You were not one of those that challenged the results. You voted to certify Biden’s election victory. Do you stand by that? SCOTT: Certainly. I will stand by that decision and the next decision to certify the fact...

    TOM COTTON SENATOR FOR ARKANSAS January 6, 2021 Cotton Statement on Violence at Capitol Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R- Arkansas) released the following statement after violence broke out at the U.S. Capitol earlier today: “Last summer, as insurrection gripped the streets, I called to send in the troops if necessary to restore order. Today, insurrectionists occupied our Capitol. Fortunately, the Capitol Police and other law- enforcement agencies restored order without the need for federal troops. But the principle remains the same: no quarter for insurrectionists. Those who attacked the Capitol today should face the full extent of federal...

    Yet another Republican U.S. senator has caught former President Donald Trump's eye as he searches for a ticketmate to replace former Vice President Mike Pence. The New York Times reported Friday that Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton has jumped to the top of Trump's list. The 47-year-old Arkansas Republican was elected to the Senate in 2014 after serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Army. The pick of Cotton would be unexpected because it would be bland. Cotton joins other veepstakes contenders from the upper chamber including Sens. Marco Rubio, Tim Scott and J.D. Vance. The presumptive Republican nominee...
