House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) that Republcans would not make cuts to social security or Medicare to offset the debt ceiling during a meeting on Tuesday, according to Punch Bowl News co-founder Jake Sherman. Sherman noted in a tweet that Manchin also “hopes” President Joe Biden will negotiate with Republicans, who want spending cuts in exchange for their help raising the debt ceiling. A source familiar with their conversation said it was positive but added “commitments” were not established, the Hill’s Alexander Bolton reported.

While Mitch "MultiUseless" McConnell awaits an OK from Chuck "Snake" Schumer in order to speak. Hey MultiUseless, Chuck says write a stern letter and he'll modify the contents(as usual). Here MultiUseless, here's your biscuit.

I can't imagine why in the world McCarthy would waste time and energy engaging with a treasonous low-life like Manchin?

McCarthy could possibly be President someday if he would only say NO to lifting the Debt Ceiling. Simply NO! If he explained the Ceiling has gone as far as he is ever going to allow it to hit. From now on, begin CUTTING how much money is spent of Illegals every month. Start There! No more Unemployment for people who should be working. Keep moving on until the necessary things will be funded because the NON-Necessary things have been cut! That's what average Americans have to do to keep their Budget where it needs to be. That's what the GOVERNMENT needs to do as well. No more just simply raising the ceiling, then keep spending more and more. And how about no more money to Ukraine. We have done all we can for them!

Why would any Republican even respond to a demoslut lie about Republicans cutting social security or medicare. Surely there must be video from fifty years ago of some demoslut saying that Republicans will cut social security during a campaign. I remember seeing just BS in Newsweek and hearing this crap on tv when I was a junior in high school in 1970.

Okay, the reality is that the dems have one club to hit us over the head with: "gutting social security". As DJT has advised SS has to be left alone. There is plenty of garbage spending that can and should be cut. McCarthy needs to be smart about this, highlighting that he will approve the ceiling if and only if progress is being made on waste and expensive woke nonsense.

Given that America's senior citizen population has shrunk due to COVID mismanagement, I doubt that costs for Social Security and Medicare will rise anytime soon. The debt ceiling needs to stay stable before we go under water and have no choice. Every time they are tempted to increase our spending, another government department should be eliminated. We all have our favorite candidates.

PDT has already shown the way out. Axe the wastage on useless Green Energy 'save the planet' projects. I would say take a serious look at foreign aid, Ukraine, make welfare and Medicaid work dependent, reduce Federal employees in useless and extra-constitutional activities. I think I just solved the problem!

The shame is that Congress will still ask for more money after the ridiculous and completely useless pork that gets passed in every bill that is brought to the floor. I think these Congress critters should be made to make a list of each porkified request and put the name of the person requesting such absurd expenditures, every single one along with the amount. We need to know who is behind financing these boondoggles. If they are so important make them explain why to the American taxpayers. It’s all about an abundance of hubris and a total lack of accountability. Americans are sick of it. Didn’t the Congress recently add a salary increase for themselves and their staffs in the last omnibus bill? How in the world can they do this while Americans suffer because of the laws they are passing? It just boggles the mind. We are living under a caste system that is nothing like the government our Founders wanted for this country. It is ironic because our government resembles the British monarchy with their powerful hierarchy of elites who control the destiny of anyone beneath their station in life. Yet, here we are free Americans submitting to an overzealous and corrupt caste of criminals and power hungry elites who are confident we will never rebel and we probably won’t. We can’t even manage to demand an accounting of their expenditures which seems to me to be a reasonable request.

A start to the Debt Ceiling Resolution would be to cancel the 1.7 Trillion $$$$$$ Monstrosity bill that was passed the end of Dec. in the middle of the night before the Republicans took over the House. There. That's a start!

Washington – The New Jersey man who admitted to spraying U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with pepper spray during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was sentenced to 80 months in prison on Friday in a Washington, D.C. courtroom packed with Sicknick's colleagues and fellow officers. "I don't know what got into you," said federal Judge Thomas Hogan, as he imposed the yearslong prison sentence on Julian Khater, "somehow you got determined to push your way through the crowd." Hogan also fined Khater $10,000. Sicknick died of natural causes a day after defending the Capitol during the Jan. 6 assault, the D.C. medical examiner's office announced last year.

Matt Taibbi just published installment number 15 in the Twitter files series. This one is about a bogus media fraud known as Hamilton 68. If one goes by volume alone, this oft-cited neoliberal think-tank that spawned hundreds of fraudulent headlines and TV news segments may go down as the single greatest case of media fabulism in American history. Virtually every major news organization in America is implicated, including NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and the Washington Post. Mother Jones alone did at least 14 stories pegged to the group’s “research.” Even fact-checking sites like Politifact and Snopes cited Hamilton 68 as sources. Hamilton 68 was and is

Eight people were killed in a shooting in Jerusalem and ten were injured, Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday. The shooting took place at a synagogue, according to the ministry. Israel's Magen David Adom emergency rescue services said the shooter was neutralized at the scene and that some of the injured are in critical condition. Emergency services were responding to calls about a shooting in the city's Neve Yaakov neighborhood on Friday night, they also said. The incident comes one day after the deadliest day for Palestinians in the West Bank in over a year, according to CNN records, when Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians

The latest numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the U.S. economy grew by 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, and 2.1 percent for 2022. While the White House was quick to take credit for the state of the nation’s economy, they might want to think twice. This latest report should have alarm bells ringing, not trumpets sounding. That’s because economic growth is slowing down. Even the areas which contributed positively to gross domestic product (GDP) are not necessarily signs of prosperity. For example, business investment grew at only 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter, but that was almost entirely inventory growth. Nonresidential investment,

Dave Rubin, host of “The Rubin Report” got a great opportunity — to go behind the scenes with Elon Musk and walk through Twitter. But first, he had to walk through San Francisco to get to the company’s headquarters–and that wasn’t a picnic, making his way through Nancy Pelosi’s city. Rubin said he spent two days talking to engineers, product managers, and Musk. He discovered what a “Rube Golberg” contraption Twitter was, and how hard Musk and his engineers were working to clean up all the mess that had been left. He was told he could write anything he wanted about the experience, as long as it was true.

McCarthy, leaving the meeting with Musk in his office, declined to comment other than to say: "He came for my birthday." The California Republican turned 58 on Thursday. After the meeting, Musk wrote on Twitter that he met with McCarthy and Jeffries "to discuss ensuring that this platform is fair to both parties."

The bankruptcy of crypto firm FTX could lead a bevy of companies with ties to Hollywood out in the cold. Unsealed court filings released Thursday list the corporate creditors of the Sam Bankman-Fried founded crypto firm, and they include many blue chip companies in the technology and media sectors. Among the creditors are Comcast, the owner of NBCUniversal, Netflix, Fox Corp., Apple, CAA, and subsidiaries of Warner Bros. Discovery and Endeavor, among other firms. The companies’ presence in the filing implies that FTX owes all of them money, though precisely how much, and what for, remains unclear based on the filing.

In the weeks after Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Christmastime visit to Washington, U.S., German and other European leaders became locked in an increasingly ugly t-for-tat over whether to send tanks to Ukraine. As language got heated behind the scenes, neither the U.S. nor Germany would budge — even as the standoff exposed a rare breach between two of Kyiv’s biggest backers. Ultimately, President Joe Biden decided it was more important to show a unified front and send the tanks — a move that could go down as one of the most consequential decisions in the multinational effort to arm Ukraine. Biden concluded it was important to move in lockstep with an ally,

President Joe Biden’s administration may bring a record 2.7 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border this year, new analysis projects. For 2021, Steven Kopits with Princeton Policy Advisors accurately projected that about two million border crossers and illegal aliens would be apprehended. Likewise, Kopits correctly projected that more than 2.3 million border crossers and illegal aliens would be apprehended in 2022, for a total of about 4.2 million apprehensions since Biden took office. As illegal immigration hit a record monthly high in December 2022, with more than 250,000 apprehensions at the border, Kopits writes that the figures “are simply surreal” and suggests that Biden

McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results. She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.

Watching a Project Veritas undercover sting operation invariably leaves me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I’m struck with admiration for yet another one of James O’Keefe’s bold strokes against the corrupt empire that now dominates our world. On the other hand, I’m shocked by the disclosure that the Empire is staffed by such moral and intellectual lightweights. Though incredible, it appears that the subject of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Jordon Walker, really is a Pfizer Director of Research & Development Strategic Operations. Here he is giddily talking about deliberately mutating SARS-CoV-2 by means of “directed evolution” in order to keep Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine gravy train going.

The Biden administration is facing some scrutiny over a proposal to change the way it racially/ethnically classifies federal employees. At the moment, anyone of Middle Eastern or North African descent only has the option of identifying/being classified as “white.” Were the administration’s proposal to be approved, these individuals would instead have the option of identifying as Middle Eastern or North African. The proposal would accomplish this by rewriting the Office of Management and Budget 1997 Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15).
