Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin (R) joined Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the latest developments regarding Senate efforts to confirm President Donald Trump's nominees in the face of Democrat resistance. As Bonchie reported previously, Senate Republicans have (seemingly) learned a lesson and decided to play hardball with the Democrats — and President Trump is having none of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) shenanigans.On Saturday, the Senate got 10 nominees confirmed, including Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia,

If this article is correct and Trump knew what Thune did then I guess I was wrong to call Thune a traitor. If this is the case I apologise. I support Trump and he knows what he is doing so I will watch the process and see what happens next. Schumer and his party can go to hell.

According to Sen. Marwayne Mullin: "Nobody blocked Trump from recess appointments. We spent 3 days working with the President 24/7— all options were on the table, including recess appointments. The next play call: change the Senate rules as a permanent solution, overpower Dems, expedite the nominees." So, we should see some recess appointments, Mullin? Or, are we expected to wait for the next play?

When I first read the Thune news my reaction was the same - there they go again. But this isn't Mitch 2.0. I had a feeling that there was something else going down here.

Schumer is trying to exert power he doesn’t have and then claim victory. The rescission bills and elimination of the totally corrupt USAID cabal had the full backing of the majority. Trying to force the funding back by using procedural rules to stop Trump’s confirmations is going to result in the Democrats again going down in flames. However the Republicans need to always be mindful that some day we may have another Democrat controlled Congress. Don’t be Harry Reid.

Hopefully Senator Thune himself will clarify what is going on. E.g. if recess appointments are not being blocked, what purpose do the "pro forma sessions" serve? And what rules are they proposing to change? Archaic procedures allowing a single senator to indefinitely delay a nomination have been so grossly abused by Democrats this year that they are indefensible. On the other hand, had there been no "filibuster" (requirement for 60 votes before final consideration of legislation) during Biden's first two years when the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate some truly awful bills would now be law. Remember, e.g., the proposal to impose California's fraud-friendly voting procedures on all 50 states?

It is so great that we have a President who is not afraid to tell someone to "pound sand".

The next shoe dropped on Monday in the case of Texas Democrat legislators fleeing to Illinois and New York to deny a quorum, and now a motion to approve arrest warrants has been passed. As RedState reported, 51 Texas Democrats left the state on Sunday in an attempt to stop Republicans from passing a redistricting plan that would conceivably gain the GOP five congressional seats. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) had been spearheading the plan as a way to combat the gerrymandering in states like California, where an "independent commission" drew lines that gave Democrats 83 percent of the seats despite their vote totals coming in far lower.
A half century of junk science comes to

With efforts underway by Administrator Lee Zeldin to reform the EPA’s reputation for junk science, it is worthwhile to look back at how science became politicized within that agency. The story begins over a half century ago during the counterculture revolution of the late ‘60s when environmentalism became popular. Paul Ehrlich, who is often credited with being the founding guru of the environmental movement, became an overnight celebrity with his 1968 best-seller, The Population Bomb. In it, he warned about the consequences of population growth and predicted imminent famine and resource depletion for the world.

Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling white adults in downtown Cincinnati. The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion. But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all. Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims. There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs. One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them. Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies.

Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as “Russian disinformation” the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous “years-long coup” against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley “very closely” (32%) or “somewhat closely” (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration’s fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Donald Trump as a Kremlin stooge to cover up Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing.

Democratic Party leaders in the city’s most conservative borough are jumping on the Zohran Mamdani bandwagon in what critics are calling the political equivalent of a “shotgun wedding.” Staten Island Democrats are making nice with the party nominee after backing his rival, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June Democratic Party primary. Cuomo is now running in the general election on an independent, minor-party line. “Zohran is the Democratic nominee. The voters have spoken,” said Laura LoBianco Sword, chairwoman of the borough’s Democratic Party.

It's hard to fathom the evil that led to creating fake intelligence to frame then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as a Russian spy and traitor to his country. We've seen in recently declassified documents that Hillary Clinton didn't do this alone. She commanded dozens, if not hundreds, of willing participants, including the George Soros foundation, President Barack Obama, the FBI, the weaponized intelligence agencies, and others, to bring Donald to his knees.Buried deep in the latest tranche of declassified documents called the Durham annex report, however, a deep state hawk has found something that is equally or more evil than changing intelligence to manipulate one election's outcome.

“Deflection,” “Distraction” and “Dishonest” are just some of the accusations leveled at President Trump recently for saying he’d like to look into past Democrat conspiracies against him. The President’s critics have claimed that he is simply trying to push attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein story. Even some of the President’s defenders have sighed that surely he should focus on moving forward and not get distracted by these past problems. But putting aside for a moment the fact that President Trump has shown himself able to do more than one thing at a time, he is right to bring up the Russian collusion hoax and more.

The party of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele approved constitutional changes in the country’s Legislative Assembly on Thursday that will allow indefinite presidential reelection and extend presidential terms to six years. Lawmaker Ana Figueroa from the New Ideas party had proposed the changes to five articles of the constitution. The proposal also included eliminating the second round of the election where the two top vote-getters from the first round face off. New Ideas and its allies in the Legislative Assembly quickly approved the proposals with the supermajority they hold. The vote passed with 57 in favor and three opposed.

A high-stakes deal that would give an American company a major role in running dozens of strategically crucial global ports is now in limbo — as China aggressively demands a stake. The United States cannot let that happen. US asset manager BlackRock and its partners are vying for 43 of the world’s most important shipping ports, including the two that straddle the Panama Canal. The seller is C.K. Hutchison, a major Hong Kong operator that is one of China’s “big three” port giants — and the only one not owned outright by the Chinese government. Prying these ports from China’s oversight is a critical move for both US national security and the global economy.

Emily Damari was shot in the hand by Hamas and kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The monsters also shot and killed her 11-year-old dog in front of her. The bullet that killed the dog also struck her leg. When she was released earlier this year, she returned with a bandaged hand and missing fingers, and only she and God know what kind of mental and emotional damage. Damari, who has dual British and Israeli citizenship, has been pretty outspoken about her ordeal, and she has tirelessly advocated for those who remain in captivity.

The second-quarter first read GDP is at three percent. The White House said it "shatters expectations." President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both trumpeted the news and called on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower rates. Trump called on Powell to let people buy and refinance their homes. Leavitt said:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.

President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys. Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.

Politico published a story yesterday saying that Democrats are counting on a blue wave to carry them back to power next year. Unfortunately for Democrats there are already warning signs that wave may not happen. Recent polling shows Democrats are still struggling to regain their footing with voters who lurched right in 2024, and that’s compounded by growing gaps in fundraising, an increasing number of messy primaries and a congressional map that Republicans are redrawing to make it harder for Democrats to win.

Former president Barack Obama exudes an air of superiority and self-assurance that inspires those to whom he’s speaking to believe everything he says is true. He has spent twenty years leveraging his soaring rhetoric to deceive the easily duped. That’s why it’s no surprise that we are now learning that the former president has tried to harm political opponents by saying one thing publicly and doing the exact opposite in private. Since 2004, America has received warnings from Barack Obama about threats he believes Americans should watch out for, including issues related to democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, free speech, misinformation, election denial, and hyperpartisanship.
