Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke called on Democrats to do more than "comprehensive immigration reform" the next time they take back the White House and Congressional majorities, at a rally on Saturday against the GOP effort to redistrict Texas congressional districts. "We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we're going to drive that car like we stole it," he said at the rally in Fort Worth called "The People vs. The Power Grab." BETO O'ROURKE: Check this out. "You know, Democrats -- present company excluded -- have talked an...

Strzok travelled to London 2 days after Crossfire Hurricane was open and 1 day before Obama met with Brennan and Comey to agree how to proceed on the Hillary Plan. Durham report shows that Strzok, Pientka, British intelligence officials and FBI's UK liaison knew straight away that Downer "tip" which was the pretext to open the investigation of the Trump campaign was rubbish. Peintka (SSA1) and Strzok knew it was rubbish, and admitted so in internal communications. Yet the FBI proceeded with it in furtherance of the Hillary plan with the full on investigation, on orders of Obama/Comey.

For almost a decade, Glenn Beck has tried connecting the dots between Ukraine, Russiagate, the Open Society Foundations, and the weaponization of government under Obama and Biden. Recent revelations from the ODNI disclosure from Tulsi Gabbard and the Durham annex reveal a scandal that goes deeper than Russiagate to expose the full scope of the operation to take out President Trump. Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and author of "Blood Money," reveals the depth of Hillary Clinton and George Soros' corruption and how it all ties into the Trump Ukraine impeachment. Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of...

It’s one thing to run a conspiracy out of the Oval Office to deprive the nation of a peaceful transfer of power using fraudulent intelligence. That’s bad enough. But what is it called when you, as a coup-plotting member of the Executive Branch, with a death grip on that fraudulent intelligence, then try to get the Legislative Branch to literally sign on to it? Susan Rice did exactly that when she tried to get then Leader Mitch McConnell and the majority Republicans of the Senate to sign on to a bipartisan letter condemning Moscow over the “hacking” that “Russia” did....

Hunter Biden revealed he started a new job working with a nonprofit homeless prevention and tenants' rights group in southern Los Angeles. The former president’s son made the announcement during an interview with "Channel 5" podcaster Andrew Callaghan, which was posted on Tuesday. "I just think there is such an opportunity to be of service right now – and not in, you know, some kind of melodramatic way – but I just, a lot of people that are, you know, getting the s--- beat out of them out there, right here in LA. And there is enormous opportunity for just...

A Democrat congresswoman faced immense criticism for saying she’s a “proud Guatemalan” before she’s an American. “Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez at a summit in Mexico City this weekend tells the audience while speaking in Spanish: ‘I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,'” The Blaze wrote. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared the footage, adding a quote from Theodore Roosevelt. “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism...Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other...

Former President Obama on Tuesday blasted the Texas GOP’s attempts to redraw the Lone Star State’s congressional lines as “a power grab” that threatens democracy. “We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy,” Obama said in a post on the social platform X. The former president shared a post from All On The Line, a campaign affiliated with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), promoting a virtual event on redistricting.

As you're already aware, Texas Democrats have fled democracy because they know they will lose a vote on redrawing U.S. congressional districts in the Lone Star State. Calling it 'gerrymandering,' they hypocritically hopped a plane to Illinois, which is one of the worst states for Democrat Party gerrymandering. Hating billionaires, they rushed to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who put them all up in one of his luxury hotels. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the vacationing Dems are facing arrest. That's got Jasmine Crockett being dumber than ever and promising to throw fists. (WATCH) VIDEO AT LINK............. They’re not putting...

Rep. Ramirez (D-IL) says in Spanish: "I am a proud Guatemalan before I am American"

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is threatening felony charges and replacement of Texas state Democrats as they push to block a vote for a Trump-backed congressional map. House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) joins Ana Cabrera, slamming Republican leaders in Texas and the Trump administration for the gerrymandered map.

*** A coalition of 20 attorneys general, led by New York AG Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the lawsuit Monday, arguing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s demand that states turn over personal information about SNAP recipients dating back five years, violates privacy laws. SNAP is a federally-funded, state-administered program that provides billions of dollars in food benefits to tens of millions of low-income individuals and families in the United States. The new USDA demands, released last week, require states to provide a list of individuals who have applied or are currently receiving SNAP benefits, in...

‘How many people do you employ this month?” might sound like the kind of question an employer can easily answer, but it’s not. Especially for large businesses, the exact number of employees in a given month is hard to pin down. The media report layoffs and hires in round numbers, but for calculating total employment in the country, it really matters whether “500” means 478 or 523, because those discrepancies multiplied across millions of businesses make a huge difference. Within government, Donald Trump’s appointee as BLS commissioner, William Beach, has been a leader in calling for modernizing the surveys that...

Netter now works for a group chaired by Marc Elias, who helped run the Russia collusion hoax.The Department of Justice official who signed off on $2 million in taxpayer-funded payments to disgraced Russia collusion hoax participants left the Department of Justice to help lead the “legal resistance” to President Donald Trump and other duly-elected Republicans, new records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist reveal.FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, sued the Department of Justice over the release of messages detailing their role in pushing the Clinton campaign’s Russia collusion hoax. They said the release of...

In his second post-office visit in Chicago, former President Joe Biden stopped to accept an award from the National Bar Association, blasting President Donald Trump without ever saying his name to the crowd at the Hyatt Regency in the Loop Thursday evening. “Judges matter, courts matter, the law matters, and the constitution matters,” Biden said. “I think a lot of Americans are starting to realize that under this president. … Get ready folks, he’s just starting.” Biden Thursday decried the abduction of immigrants from their families and communities while highlighting attacks on civil rights and voter access. “There are moments...

A federal judge out of San Francisco, California, is blocking President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending a temporary quasi-amnesty program for tens of thousands of migrants in the United States. As Breitbart News reported, in June and early July, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of migrants in the United States from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal. Though meant to be temporary, since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as nearly every president has routinely extended it and designated new countries...

John Brennan and James Clapper teemed up yesterday to write an opinion piece for the NY Times defending their work on an Intelligence Community Assessment about the 2016 election. It's titled "Brennan and Clapper: Let’s Set the Record Straight on Russia and 2016."The Brennan-Clapper opinion piece (BCOP) can really be broken down into three parts. First is a summary of the previous reviews of their work, all of which concluded it was fine.While some external critiques have noted that parts of the Russia investigation could have been handled better, multiple, thorough, yearslong reviews of the assessment have validated its findings...

On Wednesday, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll ordered West Point to terminate the employment of President Biden’s recently hired censorship czar. The revelation came following a now unavailable Tuesday announcement from the academy that Jen Easterly, the former director of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), would be serving as the new Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair within the school’s Department of Social Sciences. Easterly graduated from West Point in 1990. “A Homecoming Worth Celebrating,” West Point Dean Shane Reeves wrote in a now unavailable X post congratulating Easterly. “Welcome home!” ... Easterly led CISA from July 2021 to January...

Somebody had to say it. It has been noted on many an occasion that we aren't all getting along. The United States of America in 2025 is a fractured place. What was once a casual political divide has become deep and difficult to navigate. One could say, "Well, it's everybody's fault," but it's not. The American Left is diving deep into reasons that they should be violent these days. They're hateful. They're combative. And they wish you grievous harm. From the top down, Democrats have been gleefully advocating for violence against people like you and me. Their politics of hate...

Michigan House Democrats introduced legislation Thursday to criminalize the concealing the identities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other officers while on duty. If signed into law, it would apply to federal, state and local law enforcement across the state, according to the legislation. There will be exceptions for the use of masks for undercover operations, protection against disease and specific dangerous situations. If violated, officers could face up to 90 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine. Democratic Michigan State Rep. Betsy Coffia announced the bill at a July 25 press conference alongside Democratic State...

The Steele Dossier saga isn’t over—not even close. If anything, its rot is more obvious than ever, with each new revelation pointing directly to the highest levels of the Obama administration and even reaching into the early days of the Trump White House. What we now know is already damning: the phony Steele Dossier wasn’t just opposition research—it was weaponized disinformation, deliberately shoved into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under orders from Barack Obama himself. Senior analysts warned it was unverified and unreliable, but those concerns were bulldozed in the name of politics. Obama ordered the revised ICA not because...
