Senate Republicans are threatening to force votes on a slew of bills designed to split the Democratic caucus and take over the floor agenda should Majority Leader Charles Schumer carry out his threat to push through a change in Senate filibuster rules for voting rights. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been leading a Republican filibuster against the bills, threatened to use Senate rules to call up a raft of legislation in response – including bills that might peel off a vote a or two from vulnerable Democrats. 'Since Sen. Schumer is hellbent on trying to break the Senate,

This is how you stop the nonsense in Congress. If one side breaks/bends the rules, the other side should respond in kind. Eventually, both sides will tire of the chaos and establish a truce. I blame the Dems for ignoring the rules and the Repubs for letting them.

Make the case, Republicans! Create the posters and make the argument on the floor and in interviews. Speak in facts, data, truth and evidence. You must be more pro-active. Refute with facts their arguments made solely on emotion. There is ample evidence that shows most western countries require ID before voting and yet democrats vilify us for requiring it. How anyone who calls themselves a Republican and refuses to get into the fray in this environment is a coward. We need everyone united to defeat this corrupt party. You wanted the job, now do it!

The same Republican Party that allowed the steal in 2020? I call BS. The Republican Party is acting, this is theater. All meant to make you think they are serious about confronting the monster their cowardice created. Its time to end the show, its time to form a new party. Its time to make sure the act does not continue. There is very little that remains of America that is worth saving, none of it will be saved as long as the fake Republican party exists.

Meanwhile Chuckie schmuckie is throwing a bone to his radical base saying he's going to do this and that, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, the two of them have cut their deal.

At some point in many people’s working lives, they hold jobs at which they must wear a uniform. I’ve had several such jobs over the years. Technically, I had a “uniform” as a fire warden. but that was nothing more than a dress shirt with some patches on the shoulder and a name badge. If I had to wear it for some reason, I usually paired it with my best pair of Nomex® pants that didn’t have any fire damage. But the kind of uniform I’m talking about is the shirt and pants someone must wear to work at a fast food chain, a copy shop, a delivery company, etc.

Activist and scholar Cornel West has announced he will run for president in 2024 as a third party candidate - promising to speak the 'truth' about issues including Ukraine, Wall Street and the Pentagon. The 70-year-old public intellectual posted a video launching his campaign running for nomination for the far-leftist People's Party. 'I am running for truth and justice as a presidential candidate for the People's Party to reintroduce America to the best of itself - fighting to end poverty, mass incarceration, ending wars and ecological collapse, guaranteeing housing, health care, education and living wages for all!' he said in the two-and-a-half-minute announcement video.

The response from major retailers to pick up the slack in combatting shoplifting resulting from progressive politics left customers fed up and demanding things be returned to “the way it used to be.” “It’s a struggle. It makes your day longer.” Videos of shoplifters raiding stores and hauling off trash bags filled with merchandise have become increasingly more commonplace and even led to some companies shutting down business locations altogether. For those seeking to ride out the spiking crime rates in leftist havens, law-abiding customers have felt the brunt of policies meant to protect their bottom line.

Ron DeSantis continues to trigger all the right people, and his latest conquest was Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL). While attending a Paramore concert in Washington, DC, Frost was called up on stage, at which point he launched into a profanity-filled tirade against the 2024 presidential candidate. In the video, shot by someone in the audience, slow ballad-style music plays as the band’s leader singer promotes Frost as “the first Gen Z congressman” before inviting him up. He then bounces around the stage, soaking up the spotlight for a minute before being asked if there’s anything he would like to say.

From the moment Joe Biden first stepped inside the Oval Office as president, the crises began: from the Biden Border Crisis, Biden Energy Crisis, Biden Inflation Crisis, Biden Economy Crisis, Biden’s Afghanistan Debacle, and even falling on stage, nothing is ever this president’s fault. Nothing. The question: Why? We’ll get there. Harry S Truman, America’s 33rd president, famously displayed a simple, four-word plaque on his desk: “The Buck Stops Here.” Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., our 46th president, might as well have a different plaque on his desk: “The Buck Stops Everywhere But Here.” Again, the question is why. Why is Joe Biden seemingly incapable of accepting responsibility for his own actions,

Reportedly, the transgender people who are trying to leave the state of Florida are doing so because of a slew of “anti-LGBTQ+” laws that have been passed in recent years. Sage Chelf, a 30-year-old “trans woman,” told the outlet that the clinic that prescribed “her” hormone therapy was ending all treatments for patients who identify as transgender. “I don’t want to go back to the person that I was forced to be at the time,” Chelf told the outlet.

The incident went down at a River Market public garage when the family was packing up after spending the day celebrating the birthday of a seven-year-old girl. They were confronted by the criminal who assaulted them, striking the father several times as he was loading a wagon onto the top of the vehicle.

"We've developed, what we've seen is a Republican Party that has embraced a cultural populism, the kind of populism that we talked about earlier: resentment, anger, you know, exploiting people's sense that things are rigged," Obama said.

In case you had any lingering doubts that forcibly shutting down the entire economy over a virus and replacing economic activity with government payments does not represent a smart strategy, the Associated Press has more evidence to bolster the case. Its latest investigation, titled “The Great Grift,” highlighted the staggering scope of fraud taxpayers face because of Covid-era programs. On the heels of earlier AP investigations that showed significant spending on projects that had little to do with the coronavirus, the story provides one major explanation — albeit an infuriating one — for our nearly $32 trillion-and-counting federal debt.
