When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) isn’t busy fraternizing with Chinese spies, it appears he enjoys feeding his wanderlust and appetite for the finer things at the expense of campaign donors. The lawmaker has reportedly spent considerable sums of campaign funds to travel the globe, partake of fancy dinners, spend time at luxury spas, and a host of other extracurricular activities. Swalwell’s campaign shelled out over $2.1 million in these diversions last year, with expenses spanning from chauffeured cars to childcare. The question is: Will he face any accountability for this? California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell's campaign spent more than $2.1 million last year, with expenses including international travel, fine dining, luxury spas,

So basically, a sleazy Demon-Rat is being a sleazy Demon-Rat. How is this even news? All Demon-Rats wallow in sleaziness 24/7/365. Now if you could find an honest, moral and ethical Demon-Rat who obeys all the laws, that would be news (and also a miracle)!!!!!

So will Swalwell face any 'consequences'? Only if those Democ'RATS 'Behind the Green Curtain' decide to get rid of him. Very similar to what they did to Noo Yawk Gov. Cuomo, who was doing fine until someone decided to dirty him up so that he could not run in the Democ'RAT primaries against The HairSniffer. They then gave him the classic Democ'RAT 'serial sexual accusations' treatment. If they want lying Swalwell gone, they'll make a big stink about this. If they want to keep 'FangFangBoy' in office, this story will die with today's news cycle, never to be heard from again. Watch and see!

For our Republican Congresscritters: 1. Be sure your houses are in order. If you're doing stuff like Break-Wind Swalwell, stop it now. 2. An ethics committee investigation is in order. Yeah, the RATS will try to sweep it under the rug, but a nice report full of pictures and ledgers showing Break-Wind's excesses would be interesting reading for all.

A passenger on a cross-country United Airlines flight captured shocking video of the “wing coming apart” while the plane was making an emergency landing. Kevin Clarke was among the 165 passengers aboard the Boeing 757-200 on the flight Monday from San Francisco to Boston when the right wing appeared to start shredding. He caught video of the horrifying incident as the plane made an emergency landing nearly 2,000 miles from its planned destination. “Just about to land in Denver with the wing coming apart on the plane,” Clarke is heard saying moments before landing in the clip posted by his wife.

WASHINGTON — President Biden has given first dog Commander to relatives, the White House said Wednesday following revelations of more brutal attacks on Secret Service employees — including a case in which White House tours were suspended to mop up blood from the floor of the East Wing and another attack where an agent suffered a “severe deep open wound” at Biden’s Delaware vacation home. Commander’s propensity for biting Secret Service members was first revealed by The Post in July 2023, with internal documents showing at least seven agents were injured — but the president didn’t immediately part with the German shepherd

Two suspects have been arrested in connection to the break-in of a Secret Service vehicle parked outside the Washington, DC, home of President Biden’s granddaughter, according to court documents and the federal law enforcement agency. Robert Kemp, 19, and an unnamed juvenile were taken into custody earlier this month after a Secret Service investigation into the November 2023 incident in DC’s tony Georgetown neighborhood, where Naomi Biden lives and receives Secret Service protection. Kemp was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and theft from auto, according to the Secret Service. However, court filings in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia

Chicago has a problem with retailers closing their doors, pulling up stakes, and getting the hell out of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. Without warning last week, a KFC franchisee "abruptly" shuttered three South Side locations. One outlet, located in Chatham, had been "undergoing renovations for months" when the franchise owner apparently just gave up and boarded up the windows instead. According to the same Fox 32 Chicago report, the Great KFC Vanishing came "less than one month after Cinema Chatham, a local movie theater, shut down." That closure also came without warning.

Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.” What, you’re telling me people don’t want to see this guy’s face

Let's begin with one of life's truths. The American Democrat Party is the most hypocritical organization on the face of the earth. Yeah, I know; you already knew that — but this article will more than illustrate that truth. When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis first began shipping busloads of illegal aliens to northern "sanctuary cities," state and local Democrat leader lost their ever-loving hypocritical minds. Welp, as more and more illegals continued to find their way north, plaguing cities like New York City, Chicago, and even Denver, a funny thing happened to the sanctuary-city mindset: "We gotta get these illegals outta here!"

In United States immigration policies and practices, all of the incentives are tilted the wrong way. Immigrating to the United States legally is time-consuming and expensive; crossing the border illegally is not only free but comes with plenty of free stuff and benefits. Now, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is about to tilt those incentives still further the wrong way, as they are raising the cost of becoming an American citizen.

They are the brat kid in your child’s class, constantly indulged with hugs and reassurances that they’re “special” and important, when what they really need is a butt-reddening series of spanks that make it difficult to sit for a week. That won’t happen because leftists don’t have any adults on their side. Well, maybe that’s overstating it a bit – they have adults, but they aren’t interested in acting like one.

Such warnings were met with cries of "bigot" and other such name-calling. However, case after case has emerged proving the concerns are completely valid.

It was widely expected that Joe Biden wouldn't serve out a full term as president. Even in 2020, his mental decline was obvious to anyone who watched him on the campaign trail. Few, if any, actually expected that he'd seek a second term. PJ Media's Rick Moran noted a mere ten months into Biden's term that he was governing like he knew he wouldn’t seek reelection, and I agreed. Some believed that the only reason Biden and the White House were even claiming that Biden's plans to run was to “avoid weakening his standing,” which made sense and was an appropriate strategy. But the inevitability of a one-and-done for Joe Biden

The Disney Grooming Syndicate is blaming its string of box office flops on sexist fans, and I’m finding this nothing short of glorious: Everyone says “It’s the movies, stupid,” which is an easy thing for people to say. More appealing movies are a great way to jump the political issues. But more and more, our audience (or the segment of the audience that has been politicized) equate the perceived messaging in a film as a quality issue. They won’t say they find female empowerment distasteful in The Marvels or Star Wars the latest trilogy starring Daisy Ridley], but they will say they don’t like those movies because they are “bad.”

President Joe Biden's administration is investing $20 billion to build ship-to-shore cranes in America in order to keep Chinese hackers from spying at U.S. ports. Biden will sign an executive order Wednesday to give the U.S. Coast Guard new powers to issue basic cybersecurity requirements for transportation vessels and ports amid fears Chinese hackers will target American infrastructure, including ports, as it prepares for a potential invasion of Taiwan. One particular area of focus is ship-to-shore cranes, which move cargo containers off of vessels. 'We felt there was real strategic risk here,' said Anne Neuberger, U.S., deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology.
