“There is something profoundly wrong,” Tucker Carlson said when discussing the latest actions of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who soured many conservative allies after initially offering a 1,547-page spending bonanza and ultimately handing the Democrats a win. Eduardo Neret, a former producer for Carlson and a conservative commentator, brought up the disastrous spending bill negotiated by Johnson, which essentially thrust Johnson’s future Speakership in the air. “On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, right before Christmas, he tried … to shove through a 1,500 page spending bill that would have given Chuck Schumer all of the leverage with the debt ceiling going into next year,” Neret said.

His betrayal of any Christian morals he may have had at one time were in evidence as well! nobody likes a HYPOCRITE! Even the Savior doesn't care much for HYPOCRITES such as Johnson!

If you and I ran a business like congress runs the country we would be sent to jail for fraud. The purpose of 1,000+ bills is obfuscation & fraud. It is not just Mike Johnson (R-LA). The bill came through the appropriations committee and was sponsored by Tom Cole (R-OK) and Chuck Edwards (R-NC).

Tucker is correct. Dead Fish smell like roses compared to this outrageous bill meant to grant every spending wish the democrats have for the next two years. Somebody needs to start checking bank accounts.

Before he became speaker, I had never heard of Johnson. He came out of nowhere picked by who knows who to become speaker. I guess he was viewed as noncontroversial and acceptable to all the D.C. insiders.

Every time I see Speaker Johnson, he is standing between Jeffries and Schumer, both of whom are smiling. I have never seen Johnson negotiating with Republicans, only Jeffries and Schumer, who have gotten everything they wanted, and Republicans nothing. We need a new Speaker. One that will work with Republicans, not Democrats.

I firmly believe there is a lot of blackmail going on in Congress, and likely throughout the bureaucracy. If it ain't blackmail, it's unmitigated greed.

It may be time to consider Tucker Carlson’s current powerful influence with caution because there may be more going on behind the scenes than what Mr. Carlson may be aware of and Speaker Johnson may be part of those goings-on. Regarding Tucker Carlson, be reminded: “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” (Edmund Burke)

Hard to tell from a distance whether Johnson is being played, and is just weak/stupid or whether he is complicit in this stuff. He certainly isn't working effectively with Trump and in the direction of MAGA and DOGE. Incompetent or malevolent? It's always tough to be certain.

The ones who have been in there awhile, get no press are often protected BECAUSE they are compromised. I do not believe for one minute Johnson was particularly popular except with establishment. He was the perfect one when needed. Nobody has ascended to SOTH for a very long time unless the Deep State has them.

Like most Republicans, Johnson is afraid of being blamed for shutting down the government. The Dems know this and use it for leverage. When will the Republicans stop being such spineless wimps?

Israel's enemies in Gaza today, like the Philistines of old, constitute a mortal threat to the nation, although that threat diminishes as Israel again succeeds in overcoming its enemies. One hopes, with the astounding team of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President-elect Donald J. Trump, who successfully initiated the Abraham Accords, that jihads, pogroms and similar events will no longer take place, and that Israel will soon herald in a new dispensation of peace and redemption, as promised to Moses on Mt. Sinai, and live once again as "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."

At one of her stand-up shows, she said that, as a Jew, she was tired of missing out on all the hoopla and glitter that personified the Christmas season so she was going to get a giant Christmas tree with all the trimmings including the nativity scene. But she would dress Mary in a Chanel suit and say to her, "You're the mother of G od — look it!"Perhaps there are some puritanical Christians who are offended by this skit but I'm not and saw it as the perfect way to see beyond the superficial veneer-

Samidoun ("Steadfast"), a "Vancouver-based terrorist group," was founded in 2012 -- ostensibly to "assist Palestinian prisoners" -- by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization in the United States, European Union and Canada. In practice, Samidoun is a front for the PFLP. Who funds this terrorist-supporting madness? Samidoun, which does not publish any donor information, has a financial sponsor in the US, the Alliance for Global Justice, a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that reportedly works to bring about a communist revolution through building coalitions of organizations, many involved in pro-Hamas activity, and, according to its own website:

New Jersey is now subject to nonstop and often sensational civilian reports of swarms of nocturnal drones crossing city skies and violating the airspace of airports and military bases. Terrified thousands demand to know what these drones are doing and to whom they belong. In response, the Biden administration had initially kept mum Then, under mounting public pressure, it assured the public to be calm, given that most of the drones were likely launched by hobbyists and private citizens. When that narrative failed to convince many, spokespeople pivoted to claims of mass hysteria and mistaken identity. Amateur sightseers, they inferred, were subject to panic and hallucinations -

On Thursday evening, Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the second attempt at a continuing resolution (CR), which aimed to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. The CR, backed by President-elect Donald Trump, included a provision to suspend the debt ceiling until 2027. While the proposal had support from the majority of Republicans, a few dozen of the party, along with Democrats, opposed it. As America watches the budget battle wage on, other questions have arisen: Who is that purple-haired woman screaming about "President Elon Musk"? Videos of an impassioned Democrat lawmaker have circulated across the internet. The woman in question is the 81-year-old Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro,

Rep.

Pressley, 50, described the 82-year-old commander in chief’s decision to spare dozens of convicted murderers and rapists from death as a “historic and groundbreaking act of compassion that will save lives, address the deep racial disparities in our criminal legal system, and send a powerful message about redemption, decency, and humanity.”

When the London Times published a late November report claiming that Donald Trump plans to “kick transgender troops out of the military,” leftist groups and media outlets clamored against the idea, warning that an estimated 15,000 transgender troops would be impacted. There’s no evidence this figure is even close to accurate. That startlingly high figure of 15,000 trans-identifying troops has been pushed, without sourcing, by major news outlets including the London Times, Military.com, and Newsweek. Rachel Branaman, a spokeswoman for the pro-LGBTQ Modern Military Association of America, used the number to suggest that any future Trump administration action to remove these troops would imperil the country’s war-fighting ability

Jon Michael Raasch at the Daily Mail just reported that the U.S. Marshals Service “quietly dropped” a two-year, fifteen-million-dollar deal to protect Anthony Fauci, all covered by the U.S. taxpayers of course. My initial thought? It’s about darn time, and I want to be reimbursed NOW. (I myself had no idea that on top of his outrageous “highest-ever” federal pension, he was receiving private security on my dime.) Per Raasch: Dr. Fauci, who has an estimated $11 million net worth, was constantly surrounded by U.S. Marshals at the time whether he was at home or going to TV studios to film interviews.

Recently, I was asked what I thought was the seminal event in the first quarter of the 21st Century. The past twenty-five years, beginning in January of 2000, have been fraught with wars, terrorism, religious persecution, natural disasters, political intrigue, and financial instability. Yet nothing compares to the impact, both short and long-term, of the global elites’ malevolent exploitation of the COVID-19 pandemic to permanently embed an authoritarian international world order. The politically motivated and unprecedented overreaction to a virus with a 99.5% survival rate was launched in March 2020, unleashing what can best be described as a once-in-a-century fiasco.

The company, run by Bob Iger, has found itself in the midst of several “culture wars” over the last few years after pledging to “further strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion everywhere” in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020. Disney chose to make its theme parks more inclusive, such as adopting more gender-neutral greetings, and has made a conscious effort to include more diverse characters, for example, introducing its first
