As noted by Politico in 2021, when asked about Donald Trump getting involved in midterm primaries, head of the National Republic Congressional Committee Tom Emmer told reporter Jacob Rubaskin, “He’s a private citizen, and he’s entitled to his own opinion.” “I would tell him that it’s probably better for us that we keep these people and we make sure that we have a majority that can be sustained going forward.” Emmer followed later in March saying Trump getting involved in the GOP congressional primaries was “not gonna be helpful.” Fast forward to 2023, Emmer is now the House Republican Whip and wants to be Speaker of the House.

He wants to do away with the electoral college. If that doesn't bother you how about the fact that the dems want him ?

Maybe he "should have had a plan" before he "burned down the house" trashing Trump . . . not realizing he and all the others "clowns" in the car actually needed Trump and his supporters. Right, Gaetz-bashers?

Trump just Truth-bombed Emmer an hour ago over on his Truth Social. Called him a RINO and said to pick somebody else. That carries weight. There is no way the GOP House all lines up behind Emmer now. Bzzzt! Next candidate.

If the dems want him, even if it is just one dem, then that is a no go for me. Is this really what Matt G. had in mind? He opened up a can of chaos. Hope he's happy making the Republicans look like fools. I know the dems are loving this.

It is done. He is speaker of the house. I do not like watching this movie. I feel this has been planned all along everything has already been set up. I am not looking forward to the end of this movie. I am heartbroken.

Electing Emmer as speaker would be unwise, but RINOs do what they gotta do to remain in the Uni-party and soak up riches courtesy of the tax payers.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI maintained more than 40 confidential human sources on various criminal matters related to the Biden family, including Joe Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The confidential human sources "provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden." Those confidential human sources were managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation, including the FBI’s Seattle Field Office.But Grassley learned that an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office sought to, and in some cases, successfully, shut down reporting and information from those sources by falsely discrediting

My assumption is that Mike Johnson (R-LA), who is currently running for the Speakership of the House, will also go down to defeat. Nevertheless, in the interests of being clear about what kind of politicians are unacceptable for the Speakership we should explore his positions. No surprises: Joey Mannarino @JoeyMannarinoUS Meet Mike Johnson - the fourth Speaker Designate for the House, receiving 127 votes from the GOP conference. Mike has a Liberty Score of 74%. He’s from the state of Louisiana and has served in Congress since 2017. His voting record is mostly solid. He was instrumental in getting the Texas Amicus Brief going in 2020 and voted AGAINST certifying the fraudulent 2020 election.

We should all be aware of the domestic threat posed after several years of BLM alignment with various groups promoting Islamic Jihad. The extreme elements of the Palestinian movement have swelled in the U.S since 2009 and the introduction of sympathies for the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition to the preexisting threat, Customs and Border Patrol are also raising the alert for potential Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters to cross the U.S southern border as the influx of illegal aliens continues unabated by the Biden administration.

Bank records released on Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 from funds his brother Jim Biden siphoned from the failing health care company Americore. Beyond providing more proof that President Biden directly profited from his family’s selling of influence, this new evidence — when read together with Americore’s bankruptcy filings — reveals Joe has the money that rightfully belongs to innocent creditors. (snip) Biden knew “the same day James Biden wrote him a check for $200,000, James Biden had just received a loan for the exact same amount from business dealings with a company that was in financial distress and failing?”

CTH readers don’t need to spend too much time digging into the granules of this recent New York Times article about how Christina Pushaw organized an online “influencer campaign” for Ron DeSantis that has failed miserably [SEE HERE]. However, it’s still funny to see the confirmation, and the people from inside the operation telling the NYT the group gets daily email instructions.

When news broke yesterday that Israel had bombed Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, killing patients, children, and staff, every “anti-Zionist,” “critic of Israel,” and most big American journalism outfits ran with the horrible story. The tale incited worldwide condemnation and recrimination. But it wasn’t true. Israel did not hit the hospital. The Islamic Jihad did. Hundreds of people did not die. The missile landed in a parking lot. It was Hamas disinformation. The media’s disastrous failure on the Gaza hospital bombing story is one of the most vivid and instructive examples of the structural and inherent problems plaguing contemporary journalism. It mirrors many other fiascos of the past decade.

Today, the Pentagon is admitting the events in the Red Sea were “much more significant” than originally outlined. Here’s the big picture, and we will go a little deeper. The USS Carney is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer assigned to USS Ford Carrier Strike Group 12. As part of the October 8th deployment into the eastern Mediterranean, the USS Carney took up a defensive position for the strike group by going through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea.

NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams made a stunning announcement Tuesday on the city's asylum seeker crisis housing crunch. He said it is so severe he's actively planning for the day migrants will have to sleep outside. The mayor did not utter the words "asylum seekers will be sleeping in Central Park," but because the city has had to close a number of shelters in recent weeks because they did not meet the fire code, he said he's now looking for large outdoor spaces where asylum seekers can live.

Right from the top, in the abstract not 10 lines into the study, the authors get to the point. “Using theoretical arguments and statistical tests we find,” the researchers say, “that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be strong enough to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years.” In other words, our words, the greenhouse effect is so weak

At last, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives successfully elected the 56th Speaker of the House on Wednesday afternoon following multiple rounds of unsuccessful ballots and withdrawn nominations, selecting Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to lead the lower chamber. The final roll-call vote saw Johnson land 220 votes while Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) received 209. Needing only a simple majority, Johnson easily secured his victory as previous opposition to House Republicans' speaker-designees vanished entirely on the first ballot of Johnson's bid.

Israel Delays Ground Invasion Because

Oh FFS. The story about why Israel has yet to make a ground invasion of Gaza is becoming clear, and it is yet another embarrassment for the United States under Joe Biden. Israel has been prepared to enter Gaza to eliminate Hamas, but the ground invasion keeps getting delayed. The reason why? The US is unprepared to defend US military installations in the area. This is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. However, I am not sure that the Biden Administration isn’t just pressuring Israel to delay for other reasons as well, given their neverending expressions of concern for Gaza. Israel has agreed, for now, to a request from the U.S.

Rep. Mike Johnson, the new Speaker, is one of the lower-profile lawmakers in Congress but has surged to victory and now holds the most powerful position in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Louisiana Republican is a father-of-four who entered Congress in 2017 and is serving his fourth term. Johnson, 51, is regarded as an intellectual, and a family man, and his success rescued the House from an ongoing state of chaos. On Tuesday, he became his party's fourth choice for House Speaker nominee in just three weeks after the historic ousting of Kevin McCarthy earlier this month. So, as Johnson takes the gavel, who is the quiet bespectacled politician

According to a Sienna College poll released Tuesday, 64% of New Yorkers disapprove of the job Biden is doing to address the recent influx of migrants in the state as of October. That includes 48% of Democrats who flunk Biden for his handling of the crisis, 91% of Republicans and 72% of independents. The poll found 46% of New Yorkers disapprove and just 30% approve of how New York City Mayor Eric Adams has addressed the influx of migrants

According to Grassley’s letter which was obtained by Fox News, the task force in the Washington Field Office shut down the reporting from the sources which eventually halted investigative activity. “Based on the information provided to my office over a period of years by multiple credible whistleblowers, there appears to be an effort within the Justice Department and FBI to shut down investigative activity relating to the Biden family,”
