Iowa Rep Introduces New Stand-Alone SNAP
Funding Bill to Sidestep Schumer Shutdown
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/25/2025 5:55:41 PM
The Schumer Shutdown is rolling on with no signs of any imminent deals, and some government benefit programs are starting to run out of funds. One such is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamp program. It's about to run out of money, but Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) has introduced a bill to fund the program through the shutdown. The Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025 would keep the food aid program funded during the government lapse until the Department of Agriculture is funded through regular appropriations or stopgap measures. The bill is the companion to a SNAP-funding bill in the Senate

As of October 2025, President Trump has made good on an unprecedented number of campaign promises, everything from securing the border and demanding that Europe increase its defense spending to renegotiating fairer trade deals with U.S. partners, ending wars, eliminating woke and DEI programs, ending the so-called climate crisis hysteria, restoring pride in the military, reducing crime in major cities, conducting large-scale deportations, and treating drug cartels as both terrorist and invading forces.
His list of accomplishments is so extensive that it almost feels ungrateful to ask for more.
A newly discovered butterfly species has been named after Iryna Zarutska, the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was brutally stabbed to death in North Carolina on a Charlotte light rail train in August.
Zarutska, who fled war-torn Ukraine seeking safety in America, was savagely attacked from behind and stabbed in the neck by a repeat criminal, Decarlos Brown Jr., 31, while riding the train.
Surveillance video captured the gruesome attack, during which bystanders showed no concern for Zarutska as she bled to death.
To honor her memory, lepidopterist Harry Pavulaan, a 70-year-old scientist who discovered the new butterfly species in the southeastern U.S., named it “Celastrina iryna” or “Iryna’s Azure.”
The case of 18-year-old Jesse Mack Butler has ignited anger and accusations of systemic failure after a “sweetheart plea deal” allowed a young man facing what could have been nearly 80 years behind bars to avoid serious prison time.
In early 2024, Butler, then 17 and a student at Stillwater Public Schools, was charged with 11 counts, including rape, attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, strangulation, and domestic assault/battery by strangulation, KJRH reported.
The allegations spanned two high-school girlfriends, and court documents say one victim was left near death after being choked;
Occasionally, we hear reminders of late in the news that the U.S. government is in a period of shutdown. This one, among the nation’s longest sustained appropriation lapses, has disrupted daily life less than others. Unlike during the Obama years, we don’t see the National Park Service closing off monuments or blocking scenic highway overlooks with traffic cones for dramatic effect. But many important missions are impacted. I learned yesterday that the Religious Liberty Commission’s work has been classified as non-essential, so it has been paused. As always, however, the Department of War is deemed an essential agency.

Communist Democrats are having a bit of a moment right now, and that's not good news for America.
With what looks like the impending victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City's mayoral race, confidence is exploding on the far left. With that, any idea that moderation might follow the 2024 election has become nothing but dust in the wind. The Democratic Party is diving headfirst into its own radicalism, politically and culturally.
On Sunday evening, we saw what that looks like, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders held a massive rally for Mamdani. The former delivered several moments that left conservatives mocking her online.
Billy Joe Cagle, a convicted felon, has been charged via criminal complaint with attempted violence at an international airport, interstate communications containing threats to injure the person of another, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: On October 20, 2025, Billy Joe Cagle was on a FaceTime call where he allegedly threatened to “shoot up the airport.” The airport he referenced was Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. On the call while he was driving, Cagle allegedly stated, “I’m at the airport, and I’m gonna go rat-a-tat-tat,” after which he abruptly ended the call.

to Post a $45,000 Bounty on Pam Bondi

Federal authorities arrested a Minnesota man on October 16 for allegedly offering a $45,000 bounty for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on video video-sharing platform TikTok.
Tyler Maxon Avalos was detained in Ramsesy County on several charges. Avalos allegedly posted a murder-for-hire style threat against Bondi in a post on TikTok, which is a violation of a federal law prohibiting interstate transmission of a threat to injure another person, according to the affidavit.
The FBI discovered the alleged threat after receiving a tip at the agency’s National Threat Operations Center about a “threatening post against United States Attorney General Pam Bondi.”
Karine Jean-Pierre's book tour is shaping up to be an absolute train wreck, and honestly, she has no one to blame but herself. The former White House press secretary is getting destroyed for her role in one of the most brazen attempted cover-ups in presidential history: hiding Joe Biden's obvious mental and physical decline from the American people. Last week, CNN called her out, and she was clearly unprepared, and now, MSNBC of all places joined in.
And once again, she did not handle it well.
Let’s rewind a bit.
Nothing leftists do is organic. Everything is a contrivance. A calculated lie. The fake outrage over the Trump administration’s renovations to the White House and the building of a new ballroom is no exception. While I don’t know, I’m willing to bet that the latest strategy from the left is not only strategic in the sense it was cooked up in a “Democrat strategist” conference room, but I’ll go further and say they likely focus-grouped it to see if it would resonate.
They may have gotten just enough of a response to indicate it could work for them. It could gain traction.
Back in the bar-hopping days of my youth, the telltale sign of a high-quality nightclub was twofold:
Must have a minimal (or no) cover charge, and the beers can’t be crazy expensive. (Pro Tip: If there’s a clean mint in the urinal, you’re paying too much for your drinks.)
Must have hot babes. (Snip) But what if I told you there’s a place that utterly defies this male-female dynamic — a place overflowing with single, desperate women… and young men STILL avoid it like the plague?
Remember those “No Kings” protests? Turns out, the name was dead-on accurate: There were no kings.
In fact, there weren’t many men there at all.

Calls rang out for lawmakers in Illinois to face charges after details of doxxing federal immigration enforcement operations were distributed, “putting a target on agents’ backs …”
From sit-ins to marches and “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests, the left has a longstanding tradition of elevating and rewarding agitators and disruptors — so much so that members of the Squad had even pretended to be handcuffed. Now it seemed that state officials in the Land of Lincoln were goading Attorney General Pam Bondi to hold them accountable as they emailed constituents the makes, models, license plate numbers, and whereabouts of vehicles used toward deportation efforts.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is trotting out the oldest, tiredest, dustiest line of attack her party has to offer.
It feels like the attacks on President Donald Trump from the left have gotten lazier and lazier, culminating in the latest screed from Crockett accusing his administration of racism. She also made sure to throw in some attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for good measure, since that’s the left’s current hate target.

“Imma just call a thing a thing. This administration is racist. He has always been a racist, and that is what we’re enduring in this country,” she said of Trump.

Is John Fetterman Running For President?

It is by now blindingly obvious to any rational observer of American politics that the Democratic Party is circling the drain. Depending on which poll you believe, its favorability rating among U.S. adults is somewhere between 23 percent (CNBC) and 34 percent (CBS). Nor is it difficult to divine what has led to this dismal state of affairs — the party has lurched so far to the left that most of its iconic leaders would be regarded as too conservative to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
A group of left-wing congresswomen enjoyed some fun in the sun during a glitzy junket to the U.S. Virgin Islands in June—with donors picking up the check—records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

For two generations, Bob’s family didn’t just work for FedEx; they were a part of the Collierville community that the company built. His father, a Collierville native, retired as a respected FedEx pilot. Bob followed him into the company, securing a white-collar technical role and the promise of the same stable, prosperous life in the town Parade magazine once named “Best Main Street” in America.
He remembers a different Collierville. A town of just over 10,000, where kids left their bikes unlocked outside the gas station and a trip to the store always meant running into someone you knew. “It was the type of community where…

There’s been a lot of talk in recent weeks about shrinking the federal government workforce. Is this something Americans want? Not necessarily. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows that most Americans think the federal workforce should either be larger or the same size.
This month’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, asked 1,459 participants: “Overall, do you think the federal workforce today is: 1) too large and should be reduced; 2) too small and should be expanded; 3) about the right size; and 4) Not sure.”
The responses were nearly evenly split
A college financial aid advisor allegedly strangled his girlfriend before setting fire to their upstate New York home while she and their newborn baby were inside, according to authorities and reports.
Kidane Haile, 30, was indicted Thursday after a horrific scene unfolded at 8:35 a.m. on Oct. 18 when Buffalo firefighters responded to a blaze at an apartment on Norwood Avenue, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Inside the home, first responders found Haile’s girlfriend, 29-year-old Kathleen “Katie” Carrig, and their 4-day-old son, Noah, unresponsive. Both the mother and son were pronounced dead on the scene, prosecutors said.
Haile strangled Carrig before setting the house ablaze, prosecutors alleged.
AI Is Not Your Friend

Half of Americans are lonely and isolated—and artificial intelligence is stepping into the void.
Sam Altman just announced that OpenAI will soon provide erotica for sexually lonely adults. Mark Zuckerberg envisions a future where solitary people enjoy AI friends. According to the Harvard Business Review, the top uses for large language models are therapy and companionship.
It’s easy to see why this is happening. AI is always available, endlessly patient, and unfailingly agreeable. Millions now pour their secrets into silicon confidants, comforted by algorithms that respond with affirmation and tact. But what masquerades as friendship is, in fact, a dangerous substitute. AI therapy and friendship burrow us deeper into
The truth is under there.
A popular UFO-reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) near US waterways — phenomena which high-ranking US Navy officials warn could pose a threat to national security.
Enigma, which touts itself as the “largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,” claims it has received reports on over 30,000 Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena since launching in late 2022.
But the sightings haven’t been limited to the skies, with reports also coming in about strange objects rising from the depths of the sea, or plunging into the water without so much as a splash.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she'd quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn't reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023.
The far-left firebrand's impressive financial portfolio—according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request—clashes with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism. Further, Crockett, a self-described civil rights attorney, was an active stakeholder in the cannabis business—seeking unsuccessfully to open marijuana dispensaries in Ohio—even as she represented,
The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 is actually a deceased distant cousin, he clarified Monday.
The socialist mayoral front-runner made the revelation during a press conference after critics seized on his story, sharing photos on social media of an aunt of his without a hijab.
“I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago,” Mamdani told reporters. Fuhi means paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi.
The race for New York City mayor has tightened considerably — with ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo cutting front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s lead in half from a month ago, according to a new poll.
Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, now leads Cuomo, running as an independent, just 44% to 34% among the likely Big Apple voters, the Suffolk University survey found. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa is in third place with 11% support.
But Mamdani had a 20-point lead over Cuomo in Suffolk University’s prior poll conducted in September. It’s Suffolk’s first survey since Mayor Eric Adams completely dropped his re-election bid and endorsed Cuomo.
