GOPers in Congress need to stomp on the
prima donnas and hang together — or
they’ll soon hang separately

With much of President Donald Trump’s agenda hinging on the “big, beautiful” budget bill, Republicans in Congress are . . . forming a circular firing squad. They need to buckle down and figure out the compromises to get it passed — fast. That means everyone will need to give ground — potentially including the prez. It’s time to slaughter some golden calves. On Friday, deficit hawks on the House Budget Committee derailed the bill, balking at “news” that it could add $3.3 trillion in red ink over the next decade. OK: Federal spending is out of control, and the final deal could certainly stand more cuts in (still-growing!) outlays,

Very simple solution - - - - President Trump sits down with the lunatic SALT coalition - - and tells them that if they vote NO - - he will endorse other candidates in their districts - - and campaign for them. So - - if they vote NO - - they will absolutely positively lose their seats. The only way they have a chance to keep their seats - - is to vote YES. There is no risk that the Pubbies will lose control of the House - - even if these RINO Blue State seats are sacrificed - - because the Pubbies will pick up lots of other seats when the tax and spending cuts go through - - and the economy booms. The SALT RINOs have no choice. Vote YES for the sake of the country and possibly keep your seats - - OR - - vote NO to destroy the country - - and lose your seats anyway. I'm sure President Trump has thought of this - - and he will act accordingly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Republicans have been called “the stupid party.” That may not be true in general, but it sure is true of these reps who are willing to sabotage our president’s agenda.

Making the government lean and efficient is not a one and done procedure. Start the cutting process with this bill and continue until it hurts. We have 36 trillion dollars staring our children and grandchildren in the face, even before some of them are born.

He missed the boat on this one. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday bizarrely suggested that DOGE cuts to the US Coast Guard could have been partly to blame for a Mexican tall ship’s deadly collision with the Brooklyn Bridge. “We know there has been meddling by the Trump administration into USCG staffing, and we need to know how this might have impacted the events of last night — from a command, communication and local coordination level,” the embattled Dem said in a press release. “There are indications that this service [Vehicle Traffic System] may not be fully or adequately functional in light of a hiring freeze,” he said —

Host Jake Tapper said, “With what we’ve seen from President Biden both in that audio, but also throughout 2023, 2024, especially on the debate stage do you think that Joe Biden really would have been able to perform as president all the way through January 2029, when he would have been when he would be 86?” Clyburn said, “Yes.

Students in Oklahoma will soon be educated about the issue of Democratic voter fraud. Under the direction of state School Supernintendent Ryan Walters, schools in Oklahoma must analyze the results of the 2020 presidential and the statistical anomalies that it presented. According to one textbook, students will be asked to “identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.” The Gateway Pundit has led the way on exposing the 2020 election fraud,

According to a new report from the Los Angeles Times, Kamala Harris will spend her summer deciding between three options for her political future. The first and most obvious option would be to retire from politics, which seems unlikely given her ego. Harris’s second option is a third attempt at running for president. According to the report, the third option is a run for California governor. The report states, “According to several who’ve spoken with Harris, she is genuinely undecided, torn between concern and affection for her home state and an undimmed desire to be president.”

During a commencement speech at the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota governor and failed vice-presidential compared hardworking ICE agents to the “modern day gestapo.” “Donald Trump’s modern-day geskapo, gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” he declared. ”They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons.” ”No chance to mount a defense, not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye, just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared,” he continued. ”To be clear, there’s no way for us to know whether they were actually criminals or not, because they refused to give them a trial.

The first U.S.-born Pope, Pope Leo XIV, had his inaugural Mass at the Vatican on Sunday. Among the people in attendance at his mass were Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife Jeanette, the Pope's brother Lou Prevost and his wife Deborah. [Tweet, video] Lou Prevost is a big Trump supporter, and he's also a fan of JD Vance, so this must have been a very cool moment for him to be sitting right next to the VP and the secretary of state in the front row during the mass.

Some people just seem to try to extend their relevance long past... well, relevance. Like, say, Mike Pence, who in an interview Sunday with NBC "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker, was asked if he was planning to run for president again. Mr. Pence's response acknowledges reality, that being that the only national contest he might stand a chance of winning would be an "Older Race Bannon Lookalike" contest. At least the former VP seems to recognize that. Former Vice President Mike Pence doesn’t expect to attempt a grand political comeback and likely won’t ever run for the White House again, he said

Some Democrats have realized how unpopular it is to rally around Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who has been dubbed as “Maryland man,” with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) reportedly telling members to stop going to El Salvador. Meanwhile, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) does not look to have gotten the memo. The senator not only traveled abroad last month to inquire about the illegal immigrant, but he’s also still posting about him. On Thursday, Van Hollen shared a video of himself with Félix Ulloa, the vice president of El Salvador. The video appears to be from last month,

In the political cage match that America didn’t know it needed—2025 has delivered. On one side: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the self-anointed heroine of the progressive revolution, armed with Instagram reels, virtue signals, and a dogged resistance to anything resembling border enforcement. On the other: Tom Homan, the no-nonsense former ICE director turned Trump’s new immigration enforcer—armed with the law, federal authority, and a mandate from the American people. The recent showdown between the two—sparked by AOC’s “Know Your Rights” campaign and Homan’s blunt response—has lit up the media, Congress, and coffee shop conversations across the nation. But unlike most Beltway bluster, this battle actually matters.

Forget any foreign adversary or terrorist group, Democrats in this country are the greatest threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness our country has ever known. Internal threats are always dangerous, especially to a country as strong as ours, but that half the political establishment and almost all of the media are active participants in actions designed for the specific purpose of harming American citizens (up to and including their deaths) and destroying the country is something for which there is no precedent. Think of all these “progressive” idiots who hid Joe Biden’s decline. That treachery still has not been viewed in its entirety.

President Trump went there! Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family. The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons. In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash. Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said. Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was 9 ...

A massive Mexican navy tall ship on a goodwill visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts into the deck in a horrifying scene that left 19 injured, including four critically, according to fire officials and sources. The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — apparently lost power as it was sailing out of New York on its way to Iceland and the current carried it into the road deck of the bridge around 8:30 p.m., according to Mayor Eric Adams and footage of the crash. The collision sheared off the ship’s 147-foot masts. Adams said two sailors

Honest Abe. Old Hickory. Tippecanoe (and Tyler too). Silent Cal. The Gipper. Been some iconic nicknames for U.S. presidents. Should Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ever reach the big-boy seat in the Oval Office, he should probably invest in a better nickname, because his current one doesn’t exactly convey an inspirational sense of wisdom, majesty, courage, or purpose. I looked it up: There were roughly 300 news articles — from mainstream, legitimate news outlets — that referred to Tim Walz as “Tampon Tim.” Those outlets included NPR, Time Magazine, CBS News, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, People Magazine, Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, HuffPost, The Washington Post, USA Today, TMZ,

Welcome back to another tour of the craziness that is progressive Christianity. Sometimes, I approach these columns with a theme in mind, but that wasn’t my plan this week. It wasn’t until I finished compiling these examples that I realized that there was a theme, and it’s that progressive churches will preach anything but the gospel. Let’s start with a doozy. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson sent me a post on X featuring a woman pastor (shocker) with sort of a mohawk (bonus) spouting a bunch of left-wing clichés that start with “I’m a pastor…” I'm a pastor. Of course I believe that all lives matter, but right now,
