Bessent For A Minute Straight
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 2/4/2026 5:16:08 PM
Democratic New York Rep. Gregory Meeks screamed at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday for over a minute while he attempted to answer his question. Meeks confronted Bessent on a firm in the United Arab Emirates that secretly bought a stake in President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency company and did not allow Bessent to answer whether he would hold a complete investigation into the matter. The congressman continued shouting at Bessent and demanded that he stop covering for Trump. “All you have to ask is yes or no. No, Congressman. All you have to ask is yes or no,” Meeks said. “The [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency] is an independent entity.

Hillary Clinton attacked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday as she pushed for a public hearing after she and her husband agreed to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “If you want this fight,” she told Comer, “Let’s have it — in public.”
Former President Bill Clinton and his wife are set to testify on their relationship with the disgraced financier before the House Oversight Committee later this month. The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony.
On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,”
A Maryland Man has been charged with the attempted murder of the Trump-appointed Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Colin Demarco, age 26, who reportedly feared Trump’s reelection would lead to a “fascist takeover,” was charged after he appeared at Vought’s Northern Virginia home wearing a surgical mask and gloves, court records show. U.S. Marshals Service reportedly found during the investigation that Demarco had claimed to have written a manifesto that detailed weapons and a “Body Disposal Guide,” per CBS News.
The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials “R.V.” who, according to the criminal complaint,
Traditionally, New York City mayors are supposed to visit injured police officers in the hospital, but Mamdani being such a historical figure is instead visiting a man who tried to stab a police officer in the hospital.
Video shows Jabez Chakraborty lunging with a knife at police officers before an officer shoots him.
Mamdani visited the attempted stabber in the hospital using him as the poster stabber for his police defunding campaign.
“This situation underscores just how urgently we need a different and more effective mental health response system,” Mamdani argued. “Jabez needs mental health treatment, not criminal prosecution by a district attorney.”
The leftist domestic terrorists in Minneapolis have seriously injured multiple federal immigration officers and made international headlines with their violence and viciousness. Dazzled by this display of complete catastrophe, The Nation nominated the rioters for the Nobel Peace Prize.
There are times when reality is so far beyond satire that it ceases to be amusing and becomes alarming. Leftists couldn’t give a hoot if the officer Renee Good rammed with her car suffered internal bleeding, or if a Homeland Security officer lost his finger after a leftist bit through it, or if vehicular assaults against federal agents in America are up by 3,300%, with Minneapolis the top hotspot
The chief safety officer for a leading self-driving car company admitted during a Senate hearing Wednesday that it hires remote human operators overseas to guide cars in “difficult driving situations.”
The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a hearing Wednesday on the future of self-driving cars during which Waymo and Tesla executives testified. Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey pressed Waymo Chief Safety Officer Mauricio Peña on if his company’s remote human operators worked from outside the U.S. and Peña responded that some were based in the Philippines. In his exchange with Markey, Peña acknowledged that his company’s operators do not remotely drive the vehicle but rather
The Trump administration said Thursday that it has finalized a rule that creates a new government schedule that will make it easier for administrations to fire federal employees it views as hindering its agenda.
The rule, dubbed Schedule Policy/Career, converts a wide range of federal policy-related employees into a status similar to that of political appointees who can be fired at will.
The change is expected to impact up to 50,000 federal workers. Unions have opposed the change, arguing it politicizes the federal workforce, which previously was intended to be neutral and expertise-oriented, according to The Hill. “This is not about people’s views or ideas,"

It's bad enough that non-English speaking commercial truck drivers in the U.S. don't know the rules of the road or how to read highway signs, but this case out of Los Angeles should put you on high alert about how not knowing English can put Americans' very liberty at risk. Or set sex perverts free.
The existential threat of English-free commercial truck drivers — mostly given their CDLs by Washington state and California — has resulted in a lot of dead Americans. The case of the UCLA gynecologist, accused of sexually abusing his patients for years, however, portends more nuanced problems ahead. We're now all witness to what happens when
The Trump administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has opened an investigation into Nike over allegations of discrimination against white workers.
In a press release, the EEOC said that it has "filed an action in federal court to compel NIKE, Inc. to produce information related to allegations that the company discriminated against white workers, including as a result of NIKE’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion-related 2025 Targets and other DEI-related objectives."
Nike has been accused of engaging in "a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against white employees, applicants and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions, including selection for layoffs; internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development
President Trump’s budget office is instructing the Department of Transportation and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to claw back more than $1.5 billion from blue states on grounds the money was being mishandled, officials told The Post.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) told the DOT Wednesday to cancel more than $943 million, while the CDC was ordered to nix at least $602 million meant for California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota.
An OMB spokesperson said that the states were being targeted for “waste and mismanagement” of taxpayer funds.
Illinois was slated to receive the largest of the transportation-related grants, with $100 million provided to the state’s Environmental Protection Agency to build
Rural Texas residents claim that a Muslim city is being built in their backyard and accuse local officials of being very secretive about the deal.
Kaufman, Texas, residents didn’t think much of it when Kaufman Solar LLC bought a massive parcel of land in 2022. However, now that a mysterious buyer from the Middle East is looking to purchase an estimated 2,000 acres of land right next door to the planned solar farm to establish a sustainable city, they are worried about the impact.
Residents first became aware of the potential new settlement through a Facebook post from a concerned citizen Friday, Jan. 30. “Serious question and maybe one of you

whether he will die in prison for golf

The madman convicted of laying in wait with an assault rifle and trying to kill President Trump at his Florida golf course was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.
Florida federal Judge Aileen Cannon threw the book at Ryan Routh after he was convicted in September for the Sept. 15, 2024 assassination attempt at a dramatic verdict reading where Routh’s daughter stormed out while cursing and Routh tried to stab himself with a pen.
Prosecutors argued Routh should get the maximum penalty of life imprisonment, claiming he still hasn’t accepted responsibility for trying to kill then then-presidential candidate. “Routh remains unrepentant for his crimes, never apologized

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson continues to dismay. Her attendance at the rancidly partisan anti-ICE Grammy Awards on Sunday was a joke. The 55-year-old Biden DEI candidate was nominated for a Grammy for narrating the audiobook of her memoir “Lovely One,” which she unashamedly believes herself to be.
California’s already sky-high gas prices are expected to surge after Valero abruptly shuttered its Benicia refinery amid a spiraling “oil crisis,” a new report claims.
The Benicia refinery began shutting down on Saturday, four months earlier than planned, a former Valero manager told the California Globe Tuesday. Thermal imaging showed the facility went cold as the Crimson Pipeline – which transports crude oil from Southern to Northern California – was also taken offline.
“We are in an unprecedented oil crisis,” oil expert Mike Ariza told the publication.
Valero Energy Corp. announced its plans last spring to pull the plug on its 145,000-barrel-per-day refinery by April,

Former Vice President Mike Pence really wants you to think he is a principled man. He really goes on and on about how he, seemingly alone, stands for those bedrock conservative values that made this country great. His foundation, Advancing American Freedom, even boasts “The Conservative Movement Lives Here.”
He’s a constitutional conservative to his core. Until he isn’t.Let’s take election reform. The SAVE Act, the main provision of which is so overwhelmingly popular with normal Americans that it’s only natural that the denizens of the Washington swamp oppose it with near-religious fervor, has stalled in the Senate. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has made a move to secure the deliberations, private discussions, and working drafts of the court. According to the New York Times, Roberts is requiring all clerks and permanent staff to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The writer writes about this in a hushed tone, as though she is laying out the plot of a murder mystery. But there is nothing mysterious about the erosion of the court's integrity, which points directly to publications like the NYT and POLITICO happily disseminating what is leaked to them. The chief justice acted after a series of unusual leaks
A rural Illinois bar owner was gunned down by a convicted murderer in an “execution-style” shooting shortly before opening her business for the day Monday.
Courtney Drysdale, 30, was fatally shot by suspected gunman Julius E. Burkes Jr. just after 11 a.m. as she was going about her normal routine, according to the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office.{snip] Burkes has multiple arrests in previous years, including for battery and alleged stalking.
In 1994, when he was 15, Burkes pleaded guilty to two counts of murder stemming from a killing near Chicago, the outlet reported.
He was sentenced to 37 years in prison but served less than half that, according to the outlet.
Armenian-speakers in Los Angeles County utilize California's In-Home Supportive Services program at a rate roughly 700% higher than their proportion of the county's population, an analysis by The Center Square found -- renewing attention to potential fraud concerns in the community amid the ongoing public dispute between CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and Gov. Gavin Newsom. A top fraud expert said that The Center Square's data analysis likely reveals organized fraud networks are operating in Los Angeles County's Armenian-speaking community -- with participants allegedly getting kickbacks and funneling large amounts of cash out of the country through cash-based hawala networks.
An in-depth investigation by City Journal is raising questions about whether a Minneapolis-based anti-ICE network is pushing civilians into dangerous confrontations with federal immigration agents after the shooting deaths of two activists in less than a month. (snip) According to City Journal, one group sits at the center of Minneapolis' anti-ICE movement: Defend the 612. The organization oversees a large network of Signal chats that monitor immigration enforcement, coordinate protests, and mobilize rapid-response actions across Minneapolis neighborhoods. (snip) [City Journal's] investigation found that members and "related officials have encouraged protesters to impede law enforcement; pushed civilians toward legally and physically risky confrontations; and helped mobilize a counter-protest that turned violent."

Ever since the 2020 fiasco, Americans have been told to stop asking questions about elections.(snip) If you ask for clarity or an investigation, it’s treated like some kind of traitorous sabotage. And yet, the doubts haven’t gone away. In fact, they’ve only grown since 2020, and nowadays, talking about it is encouraged.President Trump has been openly signaling that major developments related to the 2020 election are coming, particularly out of Georgia. (snip)Sen. Tommy Tuberville is claiming that six current members of Congress did not actually win their elections. And he’s not talking about candidates or “former” officials. These are sitting lawmakers, right here, right now.
With nothing else to run on, Democrats appear to think that demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will be enough to win them control of Congress come November.
“In their campaigns, Democrats across the country are responding to the anger felt by many communities over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations,” reports CBS News. If they can sustain today’s anger, the argument goes, voters will turn out in droves to clip the Trump administration’s wings in his last two years in office.
But there are a multitude of reasons why this strategy isn’t likely to work.
First, November is a long way off.
When your enemy is down, that's a really good time to kick him in the head. And right now, the Iranian mullahs are down. Israel took out their air and cyber defense systems. We took out their nuke program. Their economy is collapsing thanks to President Trump's sanctions; there are no more pallets of cash coming with a nice note from Ben Rhodes. The Persian people are rising up. All our forces are finally in place. It's time to kick them in the head.
Let's take these bastards out of the picture for good – and hopefully, as you read this, that's what is happening.We can't let this opportunity slip away.
