If you by chance believed that congressional committees were helmed by elected officials who did their homework and were trying to do more than get face time on the evening news, you certainly learned this week what a farce these hearings can be.

Nobody peels the husk off the corn as neatly as Clarice does. Big Pharma has been fleecing the medical industry as well as the public for decades. Drug patents, political payoffs and of course the entire COVID scam. Have we had enough yet? The CDC was bought and corrupted long before COVID but they overplayed their hand on that one. It's also nice to see that the elites of Europe have been dead wrong on nearly everything and are reaping the fruits of their arrogance with poor healthcare, crashing economies and a muslim presence that is strangling them. Their influence on America is nearly gone but they still maintain a firm hold on Canada.

Televised Congressional hearings are kabuki theater for political junkies. Our esteemed Representatives aren’t there to ask questions. They’re there to give speeches hoping for that perfect soundbite that gets repeated on cable news for a day or two. They should be reimbursing the taxpayers for this time out of their campaign funds. They seem to think that we’re all impressed with their clown shows. In reality they should be embarrassed.

The televised kaki hearing gave the country the opportunity to see the Dems and RINO Dr. Cassidy make fools of themselves while RFK shone.. A good thing. I believe that for a number of reasons there should be no more medical advertising on television.

I would never be surprised to find every member of Congress is paid off, directly or indirectly, by Big Pharma. Every Representative. Every Senator. Democrat and Republican. Wonder if RFK Jr. has any Presidential aspirations. If he does, he is certainly being cagey about it. He gets plenty of face time. Not sure which party he would run under or if either party wants him.

An Arizona town competing for basic access to clean water has sunk more than 18 feet over the past eight decades — with no signs of stopping — as locals struggle to make headway against area megafarms reportedly sucking the land dry. Residents of Wenden, an unincorporated community roughly 60 miles east of the Colorado River Reservation, have had to pivot to digging thousands of feet underground just to reach groundwater. For many towns, this wouldn’t be an issue. But along the Colorado River, communities and companies are locked in battles over its water supply.

On Friday, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent appeared opposite NBC's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," and predictably, she pressed the SecTreas on the August jobs report. As is so often the case, Mr. Bessent just wasn't having it. The first topic to come up was the recent (mildly disappointing) August jobs report. Look, we're not going to do economic policy off of one number. We believe that good policies are in place that are going to create good high high-paying jobs for the American people. Two, let's look at the efficacy of this number. August is the noisiest month of the year.

President Donald Trump has reached his highest approval rating ever, according to a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll conducted between late August and early September. The poll shows a consistent upward trend for the President since early June, when it sat at 47 percent. Now, a significant number—55 percent—approve of the way Mr. Trump is performing, compared to 45 percent who disapprove. The President has never seen numbers like this previously. "This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump," said JL Partners co-founder James Johnson in a statement to the Daily Mail. This record high reflects growing popularity in the President's anti-crime, anti-illegal immigration policies.

In his Breitbart op-ed, published Friday, Wilson described accompanying Ambassador Tom Barrack and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) on a recent trip to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, where he said he witnessed historic opportunities for peace and stability following Assad’s ouster in December 2024. Wilson argued that the Caesar Act, enacted in 2019 to impose sanctions on Assad’s government, now hinders U.S. policy by discouraging long-term investment in Syria’s reconstruction. Speaking to Breitbart News, Wilson explained President Trump’s efforts had created “a real opportunity” to stabilize Syria and the Middle East. He compared Assad’s fall to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989-

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Saturday slammed President Trump after reports of a White House takeover of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum were published by numerous outlets. “The @Sept11Memorial belongs to the families, survivors, and first responders who’ve carried its legacy for more than two decades,” Hochul wrote in a statement on X, with a screenshot of reporting from the New York Times. “Instead of politicizing this sacred site, the President should restore 9/11 health care funding and support victims’ families,” she continued. The White House and museum did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comments.

We've written before about the mainstream media's penchant for seeming to manufacture alleged "feuds" between various members of the Trump administration, citing unnamed sources who have suggested, among other things, feelings of resentment between cabinet officials and among senior advisors. One of the more notable ones, which we wrote about at the time, involved Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and a longtime close friend of President Trump. A CNN hit piece from March claimed without evidence that Rubio was miffed because he allegedly thought he was being "overshadowed" by Witkoff.

From the 1980s onward. Iran has been implicated in multiple deadly attacks against American troops in Lebanon, killing hundreds of U.S. diplomats and military personnel, all carried out by Hezbollah under Tehran's guidance. The Iranian regime also had a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. In 2018, a U.S. federal court ruling determined that Iran provided material support to Al-Qaeda in the period leading up to and following the 9/11 attacks,

They correctly forecasted unemployment would rise to 4.3 percent.

Congress has not scheduled a vote to extend President Trump’s 30-day federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department as the expiration date looms. Trump’s control over DC police is set to expire next week on September 10 if Congress doesn’t act. President Trump, on August 11 signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to federalize the police. The Home Rule Act requires Congressional approval for the President to federalize the police for more than 30 days.

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.

Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé. And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.
