Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has agreed to join House Speaker Mike Johnson on an invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress — weeks after the Brooklyn Democrat urged a new election in the Jewish state with the aim of removing the PM from office. “Sen. Schumer intends to join the invitation, the timing is being worked out,” a spokesman for Schumer’s office told The Post on Friday. Netanyahu, 74, has addressed Congress three times, with his last speech delivered months before the Obama administration signed on to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal....

A trio of senators on Sunday released a bipartisan immigration agreement with the White House that would give the president far-reaching powers to clamp down on unlawful border crossings, including the authority to turn away migrants without allowing them to request asylum. The President always had the power. That’s the first lie. Saying the President pivoted is the next lie. It’s an appearance of a pivot to get funding for foreign nations while giving very little to the USA. It’s also throwing a lifeline to Joe Biden to help him get elected. CBS claims it restricts the asylum system. It...

Florida is eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in higher education, which Gov. Ron DeSantis said have been used as a “veneer to impose an ideological agenda” in universities. DeSantis is signing Senate Bill 266, which specifies that Florida institutes of higher education can not use state or federal funds to promote DEI initiatives DeSantis explained that the bill will effectively “reorient our universities back to their traditional missions,” which is to treat people as individuals and elevate merit over superficial characteristics promoted by the radical left.

Far-right group Patriot Front took to the streets of DC to march towards the US Capitol in the latest appearance of the white nationalist front. Approximately 200 people advanced along the National Mall on Saturday, flanked by police to keep the extremists separated from a small group of counter protestors. According to its website, the white nationalist group claims its 'activism' is intended to assert 'cultural independence' founded in 'our European race'....... A leader of the group previously stated on a podcast in July 2022 that the organization aims to 'make the men who will make the nation'. 'We're creating...

Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States Foundation, discussed the importance of a constitutional convention of the states on Breitbart News Saturday and said it is the “mechanism” for the American people to “take power away from Washington, DC.” Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle opened the show by asking Meckler why a constitutional convention of the states is needed in today’s America. Meckler said that the constitution provides this mechanism to give the American people the power to amend the constitution instead of only Congress having that power. He also noted that the founding fathers unanimously agreed on...

First, let’s clear up a misunderstanding. Some people think that a COVID booster is different from a COVID vaccine, but that’s not true. There is no difference between a manufacturer’s booster and its primary vaccine series. Both come from the same vial. There’s been no change in the formulas that were first authorized last year. Pfizer and Janssen boosters are even the dosed the same as a single shot from the primary series. Moderna boosters are half doses of a single shot from its primary series. Either way, the booster shot is just more of the same. If you want...

Death rate. Death rate. Death rate. Other than hospitalization rate, hospitalization rate, hospitalization rate, no other number matters. What do we care about coronavirus “cases?” We shouldn’t care about “cases.” “Cases” is a nonsense number the fascist left use to keep us locked down and in those filthy, useless masks. “Cases” is the number the anti-Trump vaccine people use to say, See, the vaccine doesn’t work! There’s still COVID!! Do not allow the left, who want you dead, to take your eye off the ball. (More at Source)

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he expects to see law enforcement take a zero-tolerance approach in response to any violent behavior during a right-wing rally slated for Washington, D.C., this weekend. The rally, in support of rioters arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, is scheduled for Saturday afternoon and is expected to draw hundreds of people to the nation's capital. “They need to take a firm line, buddy,” Graham told The New York Times of the local police presence at the event. “If anybody gets out of line, they need to whack 'em.” The...

France cancels DC gala in anger over Biden sub deal: report © SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images French officials on Thursday canceled a gala at the country’s Washington D.C. embassy over the Biden administration’s decision to scrap a $40 billion nuclear submarine deal that the European nation had signed with Australia, The New York Times reported. The U.S., Australia and the United Kingdom on Wednesday announced a new trilateral security partnership in the Indo-Pacific, with the three planning to launch an 18-month review exploring how Australia could best acquire nuclear-powered submarines.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said Wednesday he filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration claiming its “illegally preventing the border wall from being constructed.” The lawsuit is part of the Texas Defense Task Force, Bush said. It also includes Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “The issue here is simple—no man is above the law. And that includes President Biden,” Bush said, surrounded by Texas Border Patrol agents and local farmers. “For four years, Congress allocated more than $5 billion to construct fencing and walls around the Southern border.” Bush created the Texas Defense Task Force, he said, to...

A German job site has been launched to let businesses search for “vaccine skeptic” workers, i.e. those who have not been vaccinated and who would not get the jab. The site, called Impffrei Work (vaccine-free work), was launched by a network of coronavirus skeptics in order “to counter the scientific narrative of the so-called pandemic”, Germany’s Spiegel magazine reports. The jobs advertised are in a variety of industries, from taxi drivers to tax advisors. Some of the jobs on the site include frequent contact with the most vulnerable, i.e. calling for workers in hospitals and care homes. Physiotherapists, social workers,...

I work in an industry heavily connected with field work in the construction industry; in fact, my job requires constant, daily field work on multiple construction sites. I haven't missed a day of field work since this all started, and I'm square in one of the "hot" zones. I'm one of those morons that believe this current "crisis" is a Deep State concoction, fed wholeheartedly by their bought-and-paid-for whores in the MSM. When I see the crappola that's reported, I simply smile sadly. If anything, this "crisis" has exposed how badly this great Republic is occupied by sheep. This is...

US President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a veiled warning to Iran following the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities. While Trump did not mention Iran, he wrote on Twitter, “Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!” Saudi Arabia said that the drone strikes on its key oil facilities disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or...

Brother just got the shingles (high stress life caught up to him). It's limited to a small area but it smarts a lot. Once it clears up (weeks? months?), he's thinking of getting the latest vaccine (me too). Has anyone taken it? Any advice on how he can get through this?

Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s presidential campaign launched in February on a snow-pelted stage in Minneapolis. It has since struggled to gain traction in a crowded 2020 field — and former vice president Joe Biden, who leads the polls, has a centrist pitch that overlaps with the Minnesota Democrat’s. (snip) “He has chosen to go after four women,” Klobuchar said, referring to Omar and three of her freshman Democratic colleagues. “He has chosen to tell them they should ‘go home,’ basically, which is a racist code word.” Klobuchar said Democrats must counter Trump but warned that they cannot be pulled into a...

You might expect something called a deep-sea dragonfish to be a fearsome leviathan of the deep, dark ocean — and it is, if you happen to be one of the thumb-size ocean critters the dragonfish calls prey. Dragonfish (genus Aristostomias) are wee (only about 6 inches long), eel-like predators with massive, fang-lined jaws that can yawn open at 120-degree angles. These gaping chompers allow dragonfish to devour prey more than half of their size, but their hunting success also depends on another near-supernatural adaptation: invisibility. While dragonfish bodies give off a faint, bioluminescent glow, their teeth are almost completely transparent,...

Jussie Smollett's family is squarely addressing people who may doubt his story about being viciously attacked, and in the process they seem to be placing some of the blame on President Trump. Jussie's family just gave TMZ a statement, saying the actor's story has never changed, and he is one of the increasing number of hate crime victims. l They go on to say, "Hateful words lead to hateful actions." This seems pointed at the President, particularly because Jussie says the attackers screamed "MAGA Country" as they left. The family says, "This was a racial, homophobic hate crime ... We...

In an attempt to boost tourism from the US, Mexico’s national airline carrier has a “DNA Discounts” program — which offers flights at lower rates for Americans with Mexican DNA. The promotion was unveiled in an ad last year by AeroMexico, the company offering it, but it’s only just now going viral.

CNBC’s Ylan Mui reports on a deal between Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and Vice President Mike Pence.

Call a primetime presser and announce the firing of that useless and gutless AG we have along with that crooked Deputy AG. Play dirty just like them...you have my support. What do you have to lose? NOTHING! After you fire their sorry asses, appoint someone (maybe DiGenova) that will convene a special council and turn the tables on these bastards and investigate them. I am so sick of the SH*T that's taking place in my country. DO IT MR.TRUMP!
