In some ways he is right when you consider Sen. Moreno indicated that the GOP should eliminate the filibuster to get the government open. Doesn't he realize that's their end game goal?

DemoRoids don’t do anything without considering the political implications, including going to the bathroom! A pox on Schumer, the rest of the DemoRoids, and their agit-prop arm, AKA the legacy media! Bless their little hearts.

Seen two articles in the last two days where Democrats claim Trump wants a shutdown to prevent the release of more Epstein files. Really?!? Toxic people give us toxic government. Our government spends money it does not have and has racked up 37 trillion in debt so far. They have to cut spending. It has to be done. Unfortunately, too many in government prefer it to be run like a criminal organization. They get rich off it.

We’re nine days in, what happened to the layoffs, etc. that were supposed to happen after 48 hours? Everyone has gone silent on this. DOGE wasn’t even equivalent to trimming a pinky toenail on the federal behemoth. Will this opportunity be squandered? There will never be another chance at this once Trump is out.

Not as vile as senile Joe Biden admitting that the democrats had the perfect cheating machine in place to steal the 2020 election and everybody ignored that little slip. Schumer is not as vile as Slow Joe but he's right up there.

It seems to me that the 'Rats are very much like the Hamas leadership in Qatar before it was eliminated by Israel. First, their negotiation tactics: "Give me Everything that I want First, then we'll TALK about giving you what you want." - of course with no intention to agree to anything, just drag it out, as they already got what they wanted. Second, Schumer, his minions in the Senate, and their staffers are getting paid, and they don't care about the Federal workers who are not being paid, and who are watching the bills pile up. Just like the Hamas 'leaders' in Qatar, who were Billionaires, and who had no regard for the people in Gaza who suffered under Hamas' tyranny.

II suggest the Republican's start making cuts in the bill to re-open, make more cuts every time the Democrats vote it down. Then maybe after a few weeks negotiate away some of the cuts.

The list is staggering, really. And one need not go back to January to compile a collection of the most anti-democratic behavior and positions possible, all to save muh democracy. I can fill out this column with stuff just since Friday. In June of this year, The United States Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in Mahmoud V. Taylor, in favor of parents objecting to sexually explicit LGBT material being used in school on religious exemption grounds. The case overturned the decision against both the rights of parents and the 1st Amendment's freedom to practice religion by a district court judge nominated early in Joe Biden's term.

Remember how many Democrats called in vain for the resignation of former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam when his penchant for performing in blackface was discovered in 2019? Among the most vocal was Abigail Spanberger, who then represented the Commonwealth’s 7th District in Congress. Now, as the Democratic candidate in Virginia’s 2025 gubernatorial contest, Spanberger is oddly reluctant to call for the withdrawal of her party’s vile nominee for Attorney General — Jay Jones. Evidently, musing about the murder of a GOP lawmaker is not as disturbing as a Halloween get up.

By now, you are likely familiar with the story of Jay Jones, the terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad candidate for Attorney General of Virginia. Beege wrote about the emerging scandal yesterday, and chances are good that there will be enough twists and turns to the story that you will read quite a bit more about it over the next few days or weeks. For those unfamiliar with the breaking story, the short version is this: Virginia Delegate Jay Jones is running for Attorney General in Virginia and has a comfortable (if hopefully temporary) lead in the race against incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares this November.

merica’s propaganda press have wound up with egg on their faces a few many times over the past several years. And that could not be truer than when it comes to the military recruitment crisis that helped define Joe Biden’s failed presidency. On Monday, the Associated Press published a report revealing that the U.S. Marine Corps has reached its recruiting targets for the 2025 fiscal year. The achievement follows in the footsteps of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, all of which hit their FY2025 goals months ahead of schedule.

State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release. ICE says Roberts is not only an illegal alien from Guyana who was working illegally, but also that he fled arrest in a school district-owned car and was in illegal possession of a loaded gun and hunting knife when agents finally nabbed him. The school board voted in secret to select Roberts

The Virginia gubernatorial race between Republican Winsome Earle-Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger has already been won by the latter if one takes the polls seriously. Yet, actual ballots cast during the first week of early voting suggest that the electorate is ignoring the polls. Early voting for the 2025 general election began on September 19 and, according to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), turnout is twice what it was in 2021 and it has been particularly high in heavily Republican areas of the Commonwealth. This is remarkably similar to the early voting pattern that prevailed last year.

The opening scene of Kamala Harris’ campaign memoir sums up the entire disaster of the Biden-Harris era: two selfish narcissists focused entirely on their own needs and insecurities, trapped together in an alliance with no regard for each other and no concern for the American people. It is the morning Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday, July 21. Harris is in her kitchen watching the Cooking Channel and making pancakes for her grandnieces when the president calls from his Rehoboth Beach house in Delaware, where he’d hunkered down with his family after his disastrous debate performance.

I wrote about this guy last summer when he was arrested. Casey Robert Goonan was connected to multiple acts of arson in the Oakland area. His first target, on June 1, 2024 was a Berkeley police SUV. He placed a bag of Molotov cocktails near the back wheel.A claim of responsibility was posted on an anarchist site, connecting the arson to the "Student Intifada." This act was done in retaliation against UCPD, for their attack on students yesterday on a different campus and to retaliate against the University of California for its support for the zionist israel settler colony.

Before last Friday’s House vote on a symbolic resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and all forms of political violence while honoring his life, the purported leaders of the Democratic Caucus informed its members that they would support the measure. Yet, in a truly vile floor speech prior to the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called the resolution “reckless” and claimed Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” In the end, less than half of the Democrats voted for the resolution. The rest stood with AOC.

The left is in the middle of a full-blown manic response over Jimmy Kimmel's show being indefinitely preempted after a decision by affiliates and ABC. This followed Kimmel's disgraceful remarks alleging MAGA was desperately trying to spin the narrative that Kirk's accused killer wasn't one of them. That flew in the face of facts that the authorities have laid out regarding the case, and frankly, could deceive the public. ABC decided to pull the show after its Nexstar affiliate called the comments "offensive." That sparked a meltdown from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who blamed Trump.

Several high-profile antifa leaders have fled the country or are actively making plans to abscond overseas. News of their escape comes after President Donald Trump designated antifa as a domestic terrorist threat and directed federal authorities to dismantle terrorism networks operating within the United States. Mark Bray, a financier of transnational antifa operations and antifa’s foremost thought leader in America, announced he is fleeing to Europe, settling in Spain specifically, under the pretext of safety concerns following negative media attention. Before his departure, Bray issued an apparent call-to-action, urging widespread militancy. “Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us,” Bray declared on Bluesky, a popular platform on the political Left.

The Trump administration’s approval of a Qatari air force base in Idaho isn’t popular with either of America’s political parties. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the forthcoming Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in America’s heartland Friday morning, thanking the Middle Eastern nation for playing a “core part” in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Mountain Home Air Force Base will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots, and allow Qatari forces alongside American troops for F-15 pilot training. The move, which stands in stark contrast to the president’s “America first” agenda, seriously rattled some of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters. “Never thought I’d see Republicans give terror financing Muslims

It had – but so too had 10 undercover police officers. A video on social media shows Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, shouting for help as the swarm of officers move to apprehend him. The 35-year-old from Dallas, Texas, is facing the possibility of the death penalty or a long spell behind bars. He was a key member of Prawira Bandung, who won the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL)

The cost for that Disney magic is going up. Walt Disney World has confirmed that it is raising prices on its theme park tickets, annual passes, and on some annual pass renewals. Disney World previously implemented "dynamic pricing," which means daily tickets to its theme parks vary by theme park, day, and demand. That will continue. Beginning during the 2026 holiday season, Disney confirmed that the highest ticket price point – only on its busiest days – could top $200 per person for a one-park, one-day ticket.

In a sharply divided vote, Spain’s parliament on Wednesday formally ratified a sweeping arms embargo on Israel, converting what had been an executive decree into permanent law. The motion passed by a narrow margin of 178 to 169, closing a political chapter and heightening tensions between Madrid and Tel Aviv. This new law has changed the status of the two‑year moratorium enacted at the onset of Israel’s war in Gaza into a binding statute. The newly approved legislation bans the export and import of all defense and dual‑use technologies, and it prohibits ships and aircraft carrying fuel or military‑usable cargo from entering Spanish ports or airspace.
