Witkoff and Kushner blew it on ‘60 Minutes’

Just when Republicans are winning, they go and shoot themselves in the foot, giving away vital political gains to liberals. We are literally the gift that keeps giving. Enter: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, architects of the potential peace deal whereby Hamas finally released Israeli hostages after over two years of brutal captivity. Spiking the football, the two ventured into the belly of the beast by giving an interview to Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes. That alone is a rookie mistake, by rookies playing statesmen and politicos.

Methinks the author doth protest too much. She should go put on a dry pair of undies and get on with life.

Why do Republicans go an 60 minutes and help them make money? Ditto a bunch of other biased programs.

The phrase "a little bit" should be retired. Too wishy washy. Either it is or it isn't.

The 60 minutes was a disaster. I was not impressed with Witkoff or Kushner, who said things that should not have been said, and to Leslie Stahl, who they had to have known was going to ensnare them with their own mouths. Proverb: do not with your own mouth ensnare yourself. Witkoff and Kushner should have read that, and not gone on 60 Minutes.

A Hidden Tax: What Americans Are Really
Paying for Illegal Immigration
7 replies
Posted by 4250Luis 10/23/2025 6:10:02 AM Post Reply
This entire exercise is a thought experiment, an attempt to look at illegal immigration through the lens of simplicity. Regardless of whether the numbers are distorted, underinflated, or politically manipulated, the point remains: the cost to the U.S. taxpayer is enormous. It takes away from their children’s future, their retirement security, and their ability to pay monthly bills. This is not a partisan rant, it’s a segmented breakdown of a quiet crisis. In a time when families are tightening budgets and questioning every dollar spent, one cost remains largely invisible, yet it drains billions from our economy and erodes the moral foundation of our republic.

It's only 2025, and you know that Democrats are going to be freaking out all the way till the end of President Donald Trump's term. We're still early in his second term. But they already know that Vice President JD Vance is Trump's likely successor, and they're already losing their minds over him. Former White House Press Secretary, now MSNBC flack, Jen Psaki appeared on the I've Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan. They were criticizing the competence of Trump, which was pretty hilarious given that Psaki used to work for Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump is in a fight for the destiny of the Americas. Will Central and South America be free and aligned with the United States — or will half the Western Hemisphere be forever plagued by cartels, communists and Chinese influence? The Cold War in Europe ended more than 30 years ago, but it never really ended in our own backyard. Cuba remains communist, and a little more than a decade after the Soviet Union collapsed, Venezuela joined the ranks of socialist dictatorships under Hugo Chavez and then Nicolás Maduro. Whenever left-wing leaders come to power in the region, the United States and capitalism are their favorite targetsYet in those countries that,
Biden Judge Orders ICE Agent Arrests

Judicial tyranny continues. A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order. The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.

Dan Osborn is a candidate for U.S. Senate in the state of Nebraska and he claims to be an independent, yet he is being funded by donations from major Democrats in various parts of the country and is using the far left portal Act Blue. It looks as though the left is trying to put one over on the American people by disguising a candidate as something that he isn’t and hiding the truth. It’s an incredibly dishonest and cynical move. Of course, the liberal media is playing right along. Almost every report describes Osborn as an independent.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the federal government owes him “a lot of money” for prior Justice Department investigations into his actions and insisted he would have the ultimate say on any payout because any decision will “have to go across my desk.” Trump’s comments to reporters at the White House came in response to questions about a New York Times story that said he had filed administrative claims before being reelected seeking roughly $230 million in damages related to the FBI’s 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents and for a separate investigation into potential ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign.

Hamas is not just at war with Israel. It is at war with Jews, Christians, and the very foundations of civilization itself.... This is not politics, this is a religious war. Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam. If the world does not understand this, everyone will pay the price." — Mosab Hassan Yousef, eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, JNS, August 17, 2025. Notwithstanding peace treaties or a tenuous cessation of hostilities between Israel and its neighbors, much of the Islamic world remains at war with the West, especially with many dedicated activists, such as Qatar, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority in its midst.

State lawmakers are accusing Gov. Kathy Hochul of retaliating against them for continuing a probe into mounting claims her administration rigged the contract for a massive $11 billion Medicaid homecare program. State Sens. Jim Skoufis (D-Orange) and Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) plan to send a letter Tuesday demanding Hochul’s administration turn over evidence surrounding bid rigging and other allegations centering on her overhaul of the $11 billion per year Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. While the lawmakers were finalizing plans to move the investigation forward last week, Hochul took the unusual step of vetoing several of Skoufis’ bills, including one that would reimburse pharmacies for consulting patients on abortion procedures.

Indicted former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have his criminal case dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of selective prosecution because of President Trump’s disdain for him. Comey’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s false statements case is an unconstitutional abuse of power by the Trump administration. “Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the government’s animus toward Mr. Comey led directly to this vindictive and selective prosecution,” Comey’s attorneys said in court papers. “The proper remedy for the government’s constitutional violations is a dismissal with prejudice.

Some Democrats skeptical about their leadership’s hard-line stance against reopening the federal government privately acknowledge that they fear getting “hammered” by their liberal base if they vote for a Republican funding bill. Grassroots Democrats frustrated with the Trump administration have been demanding a fight, and on Saturday millions showed up at “No Kings” demonstrations across the country to protest the president’s government.In that context, Democrats know they will get hit hard by a number of voices on the left if they do not get something for opening the government.

The “No Kings” protesters are not satisfied with the concept of persuading people to adopt their political views; instead, they want to kill their opposition and then celebrate the death the way they lauded Charlie Kirk’s murder. It sounds like a harsh accusation until you read the signs protesters made and carried during Saturday’s “No Kings” events. Many were straight calls for murder, and others were so vile that they call into question the sanity of anyone comfortable carrying such words — like the woman with the sloppy cardboard sign scrawled with a marker: “Which one heals faster? (A) Trump’s ear (B) Erika’s heart,” referring to Charlie Kirk’s widow.

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.

Perhaps the most characteristic quality of our historical moment is the sheer nastiness of the Left. And by Left, I don’t mean the socialist extreme, I mean the entire Democratic Party. We see it all the time, literally every day. This is one of thousands of instances: Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary, now a professional representative of the Democratic Party, insulted Usha Vance, wife of the vice president: She asserted that Mrs. Vance, 39, mother of 3, was afraid of her overly “ambitious” husband, 41, who’s even worse than the 79-year-old Trump. Vance is overly ambitious because Psaki thinks he wants to be president. Unlike, among many other vice presidents,

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said Wednesday she is “strongly considering” running for the U.S. Senate, and she claimed her decision could serve as “karma” against Republicans. Crockett made the comments during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show,” Axios reported.

And then the other option is every other day there’s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas,” Crockett said. “And I am looking.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents. After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law. James proudly announced in a press release on Oct. 22 that she is

Ashley Tellis, 64, a U.S. citizen residing in Vienna, Virginia, was arrested on Oct. 11 in connection with his alleged unlawful retention of classified national defense information. Tellis appeared in the Eastern District of Virginia for a detention hearing. Court documents say Tellis held a Top Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access.

"The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not," Biden promised.

In other words, for virtually the entire Biden administration, "for all Americans" —
