Scott Bessent Just Humiliated a Democrat
Senator Over Jeffrey Epstein

Original Article

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) walked into a budget hearing Wednesday thinking he could grandstand his way through an attack on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Instead, Wyden walked out looking like a fool. The hearing was supposed to be about the federal budget, but Wyden, being a Democrat, had other plans. He opened with a broadside against President Donald Trump's administration, accusing it of "widespread corruption" and personally dragging Bessent into it. He also wanted to make Jeffrey Epstein the issue, because it’s pretty much the only play Democrats have, and it’s not even a good one.

BOOM!!! Well done, Scott!!!

FTA: “The room went quiet. Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) turned to Wyden to check whether he had a response. He didn't.” (Substitute “pulse” for “response.”) But if I’m the poached egg, Wyden, and I knew my son had dealings with Epstein, why in the world would I bring up ANYTHING to do with Epstein? Especially with Scott Bessent, of all people. Scott Bessent is going to skewer you over the Weber grill. I just have to remember: most people would be shamed. Communists have no shame.

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” former first lady Jill Biden said she believed her husband, former President Joe Biden, would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Biden said, “I mean, Joe had to decide whether to run again.

Kirkwood, Missouri, is an appealing suburb about 15 miles from St. Louis City. The city was founded in 1853 and is the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi. Many families flock to the area for its suburban school system and safe environment. But for those parents who thought their kids were getting a well-rounded education in Kirkwood, they may want to think again. Recently, the woke president of the Kirkwood School Board, Judy Moticka, took to Facebook and called for the assassination of President Trump. Judy is a school board leader but wants President Trump killed and is not ashamed to admit her views on her Facebook account!

Less than two weeks after a man was killed after opening fire on Secret Service agents mere steps from the White House – and just over a month since unhinged leftist Cole Tomas Allen was charged with trying to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner – an Obama-appointed judge has ordered that an "86 47" protest be allowed to continue near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued a two-week restraining order against the National Park Service (NPS), which was sued after attempting to revoke the permit of Accountability Now, the leftist, anti-Trump group

Secretary of State Marco Rubio headed to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to face questions about the State Department's budget request for fiscal year 2027 – and the topic of the ongoing conflict with Iran was on everyone's mind. Things got heated when Democrats let loose with their mind-boggling questions about the ongoing negotiations. In his opening statement to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio reiterated that the United States remains "the world's sole global superpower," noting we have the world's largest economy, most formidable military ("ever known to man, by the way"), and a strong currency. This all means nothing, he emphasized,

Late last month, the Trump administration announced it was cracking down on fraudulent asylum claims. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Counsel James Percival said of the change in a press release, "For many years, millions of illegal aliens have committed fraud in our immigration system. No place is this more rampant than in immigration court. Protection claims like asylum are intended to cover unique and narrow circumstances, but it is standard practice for immigration attorneys representing illegal aliens to assert that virtually every illegal alien is going to be persecuted or tortured in his or her home country."

Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told. It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama. All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.

The companies that Artie Starrs, now Harley-Davidson’s CEO, and Marcus Fischer, now Harley-Davidson’s chief brand officer, previously helped lead strongly promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies during their respective tenures, according to conservative activist Robby Starbuck. Harley-Davidson hired both Starrs and Fischer in 2025, a year after the company said it would change such policies following significant backlash.

Insufferable NeverTrumper John Bolton has worked out a plea deal and will plead guilty to a single count of “illegal retention of sensitive national security documents,” reports far-left CNN. Bolton was originally charged with “eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.” A conviction on any of those counts would’ve meant serious jail time. On this one count, although the penalty is up to five years in prison, the deal apparently comes with Bolton agreeing to plead guilty and pay a fine of $2.25 million without jail time. However, a judge could still sentence the 77-year-old to prison regardless of the plea agreement.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted 215-208 to end the war with Iran. This is the first time the House has voted to stop Trump’s military action in Iran. Four Republicans voted with the Democrats: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson. The resolution is likely dead on arrival in the Senate. If it passes the Senate, Trump will veto the resolution. The Hill reported: House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval. The tally was 215-208, with four Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.),

Democrats in New Jersey just handed a primary win to Adam Hamawy, a candidate with actual ties to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which is credited with carrying out the attacks of 9/11. This is in a district where Todd Beamer is buried. You may remember Todd Beamer as the airline passenger on Flight 93 who famously said “Let’s roll” as his last known words, referring to other passengers as they prepared to retake control of the plane, which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania instead of somewhere in DC. This is what Democrats have come to. Utterly shameful.

You know that was likely to spark a storm of "performance theater" by the Democrats, peppering Rubio with questions that were outside the subject of the hearing. But Rubio has shown that he's truly adept at dealing with these characters. My colleague Bob Hoge reported earlier on Wednesday on how he sliced and diced Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), who was trying to push a bizarre conspiracy about President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "keeps going to hospitals" (he doesn't) and that no one has seen him in eight days (we see him all the time).

Cardinal Robert McElroy stripped Monsignor Stephen Rossetti of his role as an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington on June 3, the archdiocese announced. It also severed every tie with Rossetti’s St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal, a Washington nonprofit he led. Rossetti is a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, New York. He had held the exorcist post for 19 years, EWTN reported.
