Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna said he wants “to be part of the national conversation” for 2028 when asked whether he plans to run for president. NewsNation contributor Chris Cillizza and Daily Caller Senior Editor Amber Duke interviewed Khanna on The Hill’s news show “Rising” on Friday. They addressed Khanna’s support for President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering drug prices, and Cillizza asked him directly whether he was considering a 2028 presidential run.

Something is going on with Big Pharma. One of the prescription drugs I take normally costs around $ 500 for a 90 day supply. Just before the last election the price dropped to zero. But I just don't care enough to vote for a dim. They are not the answer.

Rohit Khanna Wikipedia "Khanna endorsed Bernie Sanders for President of the United States in 2016.[1] In 2020, Khanna co-chaired the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign." "As of October 2021, Khanna had voted in line with Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time" "In 2022, he called the Court's recent conservative decisions anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic."

If you have to ask to be included in the conversation, you are most assuredly NOT in the conversation.

We already have too many Indians in our Congress. Recently some other Indian in a toupee introduced half a dozen articles of Impeachment against President Trump for protecting Americans from illegal aliens.

Here's your part of the national conversation, "don't run." There are already too many zeroes, windbags, barmaids, leftist loons, frufrus, communists and rejects from the Biden administration already signing up. Don't forget to make room for more of the "firsts."

Former President Joe Biden received a diagnosis of prostate cancer on Friday, according to a Sunday announcement by his personal office. The statement characterizes the cancer Biden has as “a more aggressive form of the disease” that has metastasized to the bone, but the statement adds that it can be effectively managed. The diagnosis follows renewed scrutiny on Biden’s physical and mental decline, along with its cover-up, ahead of the release of a book on the subject titled “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down. Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”

A Seattle man travelled more than 60 miles to find help after falling 400ft off a mountain in an accident that killed his three companions. Authories say the protective equipment used by the group failed on Saturday in the northern Cascade mountain range, in an area called the Early Winter Spires. Officials say the group of four mountain climbers were abseiling down a steep gully after deciding to turn back due to an incoming storm. Connected to each other by ropes, the group fell about 200ft (60m) through the air, before tumbling another 200ft over rocks, dirt and snow.

Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is underwater among Democratic voters in his state according to an internal poll. The poll was performed from Feb. 6 to 11 — three months before New York Magazine released an article reporting that staff and other sources close to the senator worry for his physical and mental health, which Fetterman has since called a “one-source hit piece.” With the poll arriving on the heels of the story, Democrats have “begun looking into rules” regarding the senator’s potential resignation and are “whispering about potential replacements,” according to Politico, who first reported the poll.

Sir David Attenborough is launching what he says is one of the most important films of his career as he enters his hundredth year. He believes his new, cinema-length film Ocean could play a decisive role in saving biodiversity and protecting the planet from climate change. Sir David, who will be 99 on Thursday, says: "After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea." The ocean is the planet's support system and humanity's greatest ally against climate catastrophe, the film argues. It shows how the world's oceans are at a crossroads.

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.

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

The state’s Democrat party, the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), is loudly defending the massive healthcare giveaways even as far left-wing governor and failed Democrat nominee for Vice President Tim Walz admits the program is suffering from an unplanned and unsustainable growth in spending.

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,

Republican spending hawks dealt a significant blow to President Trump’s domestic agenda on Friday, blocking his “big, beautiful” bill from advancing through the House Budget Committee. The measure failed in a 16-21 vote, with five Republicans voting no: Representatives Chip Roy of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania. The party could only lose the support of two of its members and still pass the legislation. The fiscal hawks who voted down the 1,116-page bill argue the measure doesn’t include enough spending cuts

The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons. Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is

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 ...
