House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) said Sunday that Democrats will not save Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) if he fails to get enough support from his own party to retain his gavel. Jeffries pointed to the collapse of the bipartisan government funding agreement as a key reason Johnson would not get support from Democrats when his Speakership comes up for a vote again at the start of January. Asked in an interview on “Inside with Jen Psaki” whether Jeffries thinks Johnson is at risk of losing his position, Jeffries said, “I think that’s a real risk.” “And there will be...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) intends to remain at the helm of the lower chamber and asked his colleagues Wednesday to help him keep his gavel. ​​”The American people have shown by their votes that they are ready to turn from the misery of the past four years and embark on a brighter, bolder path that is marked not by big government, bureaucratic control, poverty, inflation and wokeness—but by liberty, security, strength, prosperity and opportunity,” the Louisiana Republican wrote in a letter to lawmakers. “I’m ready to take the field with all of you, and I am humbly asking for...

We’re assured that the person hired to be special counsel in the Joe Biden classified document scandal, Robert Hur, “has a great record. He is a superb lawyer.” He was a pivotal right-hand man in a high governmental office. He “has a long and distinguished career as a federal prosecutor.” And was a key person dealing with a very special, special counsel. That guy sounds like a total legal dreamboat.

Walker made no mention of Warnock in the speech.

Dr. Mehmet Oz faced a devastating wave of news on Wednesday as two separate stories broke that could threaten his bid to become the Republican Party’s nominee for a U.S. Senate seat out of Pennsylvania.The first problematic story for Oz, who is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Turkey, came from an ABC News report about his political involvement in elections in Turkey.“The television star has largely shied away from discussing his ties to Turkey, where he maintains citizenship, and dismissed criticism from political opponents that he harbors any so-called ‘dual loyalties,'” ABC News reported. “But a photograph of...

Well-known Hollywood Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is running for a Pennsylvania Senate seat, has come under fire in a number of Republican and conservative circles for his seemingly long and documented history with communist China, even though he’s running a “tough-on-China” campaign.According to Breitbart, Dr. Oz has ironically launched attacks on his GOP challenger, David McCormick, for his alleged China ties, while at the same time the doctor’s opponents dig up a growing history he allegedly has with China.As with any backstory of a potential political scandal, it’s all about the money.Breibart noted: “The celebrity doctor’s most recent connection to...
