Retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell was mysteriously whisked to the hospital Sunday morning for unknown reasons, and his current condition is not publicly known. “Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” a spokesperson for McConnell told The Post. McConnell’s spokesperson declined to give more details about the senator’s hospitalization. The 84-year-old former Senate GOP leader has long suffered from a string of health-related issues even as he has continued to ask sharp questions during committee hearings as he serves out the remainder of his seventh term. The Kentucky Republican was previously hospitalized in February with flu-like symptoms.

#3, Kentucky has a Dem governor, who would no doubt appoint a Demmunist to replace Cocaine Mitch. It's like chewing aluminum foil, but I hope he hangs on.

‘END IT NOW’: MAGA Demands Trump End
Visa Program That Takes Jobs from Americans
1 reply
Posted by ConservativeYankee 6/14/2026 5:30:05 PM Post Reply
Some Republicans and immigration hawks are demanding that the Trump administration finally end a visa program that incentivizes employers to hire foreign students. The Optional Practical Training program, created in 1992, allows foreign students to remain in the United States to work for nearly four years after graduation. Employers receive a tax break for hiring foreign graduates under the program, which some say gives foreign nationals an advantage over U.S. citizens. “F” student visa holders, including OPT graduates, are considered nonresident aliens for their first five calendar years in America. For those years, their wages are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes—for both the employee and the employer.
Obama Presidential Center's $470M safety

Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center's grand opening. Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part

The upcoming UFC fight scheduled to take place outside the White House has been criticized by many on the left for "defiling" a national monument. However, many who have made this allegation were silent during the previous administration, as protesters vandalized national monuments and transgender-identifying activists were seen celebrating topless outside the White House for Pride month. The UFC is scheduled to host “UFC Freedom 250” on the White House South Lawn on Sunday night. Organizers have constructed a custom octagon for the event, which is expected to host more than 4,000 guests. The event faced a legal challenge earlier this week, but a judge declined to block it on Friday.

Trump Develops Plan to Get His First Term
Impeachments Expunged: 'I Did Nothing Wrong'

President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to have the two impeachments from his first term expunged from the congressional record through a resolution. “It should be done because I did nothing wrong,” Trump said when asked about the resolution in a phone call, The Wall Street Journal reported. “It was a rigged deal—it was a whole rigged situation.” The Democrat-led House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump in December 2019, saying he had wrongfully tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, by delaying aid money, into investigating Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden for alleged corruption involving millions of dollars.

A former White House alum under Joe Biden says the former president has returned to public life for 'financially driven' reasons. Biden, alongside wife Jill, has made several public appearances recently, including the ex-First Lady's headline-making promotional tour for her new memoir. However, one ex-Biden staffer said that the Bidens are doing all of this out of obligation. He's not getting any younger, he's ill, and it feels financially driven,' the anonymous source told New York Magazine. One of the main financial needs is money to potentially build his own presidential library as fundraising has been deemed a total failure so far. The chairman of The Biden Foundation claims things will

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is pulling back the curtain on a 22,000 square-foot replica town on its Huntsville, Alabama campus that it built to train law enforcement in simulating and investigating real-world cyberattacks. The aim is to teach investigators in a secure environment beyond the classroom by getting hands-on with some of the latest consumer and enterprise technologies, many of which are frequently targeted by malicious hackers. The numbers put the training into context. The FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report, drawing on more than one million complaints, logged a record $20.9 billion in U.S. cybercrime losses, a 26% jump over the prior year, with ransomware ranked

Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of. Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery. It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego. The reality, as most black people will admit, is that

Democratic Utah congressional candidate Liban Mohamed has mobilized a nationwide community of Somali-American supporters to drive donations for his campaign to represent Salt Lake City. Donors with names originating from Somalia or East Africa account for around 85% of Mohamed’s unique donors, and roughly the same share of his total donations, according to FEC filings for April and May. An identical percentage of his donors are from out of state, as the 27-year-old son of Somali immigrants has toured the country, seeking donations from areas with large Somali-American populations. In late May, he attended a fundraising event for Somali-Americans in Minneapolis with progressive Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who endorsed him in April.

A nonprofit dedicated to instituting guaranteed income programs across the country is reportedly aiming for a permanent policy in California funded by taxpayer dollars — in a state already $1.3 trillion in debt. That, according to a report published Saturday by Fox News which examines the Economic Security Project (ESP), a nonprofit founded in 2016 and consisting of “100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists” dedicated to promoting direct cash payments to individuals. ESP has created over 100 guaranteed income pilots across the United States, the outlet reported. Now, a state affiliate of ESP, Economic Security California (ESC) aims to establish a permanent guaranteed income program,

U.S. House Republicans passed their No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 on June 10, marking the end of a 3-month effort to pass the bill through the House of Representatives. The bill, originally introduced to the floor by Congressman Burgess Owens of Utah in March 2026, seeks to crack down on criminals who pocket financial aid. These criminals — “ghost students” — are thieves who impersonate higher education students to enroll in courses and receive federal financial aid that they can steal. The problem has grown since 2019, prompted by an increase in online courses being offered. The No Aid for Ghost Students Act would require

A mock-up for a new memorial on the National Mall drew criticism from Republicans and veterans after it was revealed by the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation on Thursday. Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), who served in Afghanistan, called the proposal a disgrace. “Thousands of heroic Americans sacrificed everything in service to our nation during the Global War on Terror,” Banks said. “These were real people with real stories. They deserve to be honored with dignity, not disconnected abstract art.” The memorial honors the fallen service members who served in the global war on terrorism. Standing in the National Mall, the memorial is positioned to align directly with

President Barack Hussein Obama wanted a monument in Chicago, and Chicago gave him parkland, patience, tax breaks, years of disruption, and now a tower that looks less like civic memory than self-regard poured into granite. The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public June 19 in Jackson Park, a historic South Side park once shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The Obama Foundation calls it an “awe-inspiring 19-acre campus.” Many Chicagoans can look at the same structure and see something colder. The building matches the man's politics. Obama, the 44th president, sold hope in polished speeches while leaving the country more divided than he found it. My criticism of Obama has

I just wrote about an internet trend in which racist blacks were filming themselves violently assaulting random whites—they’re not the brightest bunch—and accusing the unwitting victims of having something to do with the jury in Karmelo Anthony’s recent trial; these assaults proved to be very popular with their social media followers. But that was yesterday, and today is a new day, and in the case of these same blacks, they’ve already got a new trend: they’re using AI to edit themselves into a picture with Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look as though they’re urinating on it.

"Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," he wrote on Truth Social.

Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.” So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?

On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly. Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos

Back in 2022, then-former Rep.

Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs. Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.

Iran's rulers might sign a piece of paper -- as Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat did with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the 1993 Oslo Accord – but, like the PLO, its fundamental goals will not change. The regime cannot abandon "Death to America" or "Death to Israel" without dissolving its own reason for being. Leaving it in place only ensures that it will dig its hooks in even deeper -- especially after President Donald J. Trump leaves office and his successor possibly turns to interests more enjoyable than "enforcement."

And so in Italy recently, a woman was beheaded, in accord with commands found in the holy book of a rapidly growing segment of Italy’s population, and in case anyone remained determined to miss the point

The confirmation comes amid conflicting reports on the details of the framework and whether it included a ban on Iran developing nuclear weapons. "Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal," Sharif posted on X.
