They’re not on our side. Millions of Republican voters are scratching their heads, wondering why they should send Republicans to Washington, D.C. when they refuse to represent their voters. Voter ID has the approval of 84% of the American public — that’s Democrats and Republicans! But John Thune refuses to pass the legislation with his Republican majority, knowing that the GOP will then lose the midterms. He really owes it to Republican voters to explain why he hates them so much. That’s the least he could do. What a wicked man. Thune was out bloviating about how he can’t pass the SAVE America Act again on Wednesday. This guy is the absolute worst.

It's time to start making these crooked senators and reps pay for their abuse of the political system. Remember and vote accordingly. Maybe we should start asking voters in certain districts to take IQ and competency tests to remove voters like those in Maine and Alaska who keep re-electing Collins and Murkowski over and over and over while getting the same results. It won't work in California because the people administering the tests are also nut cases.

In the video, Thune sounded like a total sell out. He came across as indifferent toward the save act. He does not sound like a fighter at all and sounded rather wimpy.

Thune was on Fox News this morning talking with Schumer on the Senate floor about the Democrat shutdown and allowed Schumer to beat him and the wimpy Republicans down as Schumer was demanding that the wimpy Republicans allow TSA alone be funded, obviously because of the adverse affects that the vast slowdown of TSA inspections are having on air travel that is bound to reflect badly on the leftist Democrats. Schumer still wants all effective immigration enforcement across the interior of the USA to cease, and that ICE, and maybe even the US Border Patrol, be abolished as they have obviously been arresting and deporting illegal aliens who Schumer and the leftist Democrats now consider to be a yet covert and unofficial leftist Democrat political constituency that has been casting a huge number of bogus or fraudulent votes for the leftist Democrats and therefore must protected at all costs. Common sense will tell you if that Schumer’s and those leftist Democrat “dreams” of abolishing all immigration law enforcement becomes reality, that once that word gets out to the Third World that illegals aliens in the USA will no longer be subject to arrest and deportation, that the USA would be flooded by untold millions of mostly all poor and uneducated illegal aliens from all over the Third World, including aliens who believe in the Islamist absolutist ideology who would support the leftist Democrat political agenda on into the future. The question after watching the Schumer beatdown of Thune, is Thune a RINO or just another wimpy Republican?

These politicians that do not listen to the constituents that voted them in and then vote or advocate for a position that is opposite of what those constituents want are in need a gentle reminder that they work for us and not the other way around. When the threat of voting them out is no longer a deterrent to such behavior, a more direct method of persuasion is needed. I'll leave it to everyone's imagination as to what that persuasion might entail, but tar and feathers come to mind.

Rep. Kevin Kiley's, Calif., departure from the GOP this week has further narrowed the party's majority in the lower chamber and has him thinking that some lawmakers may follow his lead and create an independent block in Congress, or even a third party. Kiley formally left the GOP this week and became an independent, though he continues to caucus with the GOP. He previously announced his intent to seek reelection as an independent instead of as a Republican. The move followed California Democrats redrawing his congressional district to heavily favor their party.

The former FBI agent who ran the bureau’s warrantless spying program said this week that he personally witnessed the director and other senior officials recruiting agents based on political leanings, not qualifications, during Director James Comey’s tenure. Bassem Youssef, a retired special agent who ran the FBI’s Communications Analysis Unit from late 2004 until his retirement in late 2014, also says he warned senior officials about the potential for civil liberties abuses in the surveillance program that he oversaw, but said neither Comey nor the White House took his warnings seriously.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., says putting the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor for a “one-and-done” vote, as seemingly suggested by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., would be a “disastrous” failure. “We ignore our base at our own peril, and we don’t want to dispirit our base,” Johnson said. “And right now, that’s kind of the path we’re going on.” After an enormous amount of pressure from the Republican base and the White House, Thune announced this week that he plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a floor vote. The legislation would require voter ID and proof of American citizenship to register to vote.

Before the FBI subpoenaed election records involving Arizona's largest county this month, congressional staffers dispatched to monitor Maricopa County’s vote-counting process in 2024 reported "alarming" concerns that completed mail-in ballots were stored in the same room as blanks and were sorted by a third-party printing company that had no government officials or partisan observers on site, according to a copy of the observer's report obtained by Just the News. The concerns about one of Maricopa's third-party run centers were detailed in a memo written during the 2024 presidential election in which Trump won, including in Arizona. That memo memorialized the observations of a Republican staff member —

President Donald Trump and his supporters were targeted by four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations over the last decade that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to privacy-invading tactics and essentially treated the man twice elected president as a national security threat for most of the first nine years of his political career, according to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News. FBI Director Kash Patel has personally led the effort to review the operations code-named Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost that stretched from summer 2016 to January 2025, uncovering evidence of a far-reaching dragnet that in some cases may have been predicated on false,

The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News. The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap and the county Board of Supervisors are continuing to battle over what an early voting plan will look like. Ever since Heap took office last year, he and the board in Arizona's most populous county have been at odds. The Phoenix-based board passed a new draft of a Shared Services Agreement last April, a formal contract detailing how the Recorder’s Office and the board will perform election administrative duties under Arizona law. After receiving the SSA agreement, Heap made 170 different changes to it and sent it back to the board, calling it his “final offer,” according to a Maricopa County news release.

Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.” Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth. “Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”

If you have followed Operation Epic Fury closely, you know why the United States has been blowing up Iran's military power, its leadership, and has allied itself with Israel to devastate the Iranian regime. Yet, according to several polls, Americans aren't sure why Trump initiated the operation, and are mostly unaware of how incredibly successful it has been. Aside from the decapitation strikes' successes, people are led to believe that Iran is doing pretty well out of the war. There were a couple of striking findings in the poll, but the one that stands out is that Americans are confused about why we are at war in the first place.
