Former President Donald Trump continues to lead among likely 2024 Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, followed by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Support for DeSantis has declined considerably since January while support for Ramaswamy, Haley, and Christie has increased.

Last week, I came to the Senate Floor to give a speech about the Biden Justice Department and FBI playing games with the American people by hiding the FBI-generated 1023 document from Congress. Director Wray was going to be held in contempt for refusing to produce the 1023 that I told Chairman Comer about. Then, instead of contempt, the FBI committed to showing the 1023 and related documents to Congress. So, the FBI showed but didn’t provide possession of that 1023 to the House Oversight Committee last week. As the public knows that 1023 involves an alleged bribery scheme between...

Senator Chuck Grassley took to the Senate floor today claiming the foreign national who allegedly bribed both Joe and Hunter Biden has a stunning 17 different recordings of conversations with the pair, kept as a form of “insurance policy.” “The foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. 17 such recordings,” Grassley said on Monday. “According to the 1023 the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden. According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him...

Grassley floor speech: Foreign national allegedly has audio recordings. 17!! 15 audio between him and Hunter & 2 audio with him and then VP Joe Biden. Kept as insurance policy!

EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT WILLIE HORTON IS BULL “One of my objectives, quite frankly, is to lock Willie Horton up in jail.” —Joe Biden, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, bragging Democrats were tougher than Republicans on criminals, 1990 The nation’s 2022 top-tier fear is crime. Three quarters of Americans say violent crime is a major problem, and getting worse. Democrats’ cashless bail laws, attacks on police, and other liberal soft-on-crime policies have unleashed unrestrained criminality across the country, particularly in Democrat-run cities, where dangerous criminals are no longer locked up in jail. At all. “Arrested-and-released” is now the most...

It is an image burned in our memories, and has a name: “Falling Man.” Twenty years ago, on September 11, 2001, almost 3,000 souls were lost to Islamist terror. Of those slaughtered, this man was one of hundreds in the World Trade Center, caught between death and death, who leapt 100 floors. His identity remains unknown, other than that he was an innocent American and he was murdered. We who watched the coverage live recall the sickening thuds punctuating the unfolding horror, as body after body hit the ground. Everything about that day was heartbreak, but the hollow sound of...

There abides in the living recall of my generation — and among widely scattered remnants of the traditional America that yet survives — one of the greatest spiritual weapons we can wield: our national motto. I was not yet two years old when both Houses of Congress passed a joint resolution declaring "IN GOD WE TRUST" the official motto of the United States. There was no debate, nor a single dissenting vote. By law, it remains America's watchword to this day, Public Law 84-851, signed by Eisenhower on July 30, 1956. The Senate reaffirmed the motto in 2006, as did...

This is our first Christmas without Rush Limbaugh, and for millions of us it is a terrible void.

[snip] “The pathway to ending the pandemic runs through the evangelical church,” said Curtis Chang, a former pastor and missionary who founded ChristiansAndTheVaccine.com, the cornerstone of the new initiative, With white evangelicals comprising an estimated 20% of the U.S. population, resistance to vaccination by half of them would seriously hamper efforts to achieve herd immunity, Chang contends. Many evangelical leaders have spoken in support of vaccinations, ranging from Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress to the Rev. Russell Moore, head of the Southern Baptists’ public policy arm. [snip]

Evangelical leader Franklin Graham believes Americans should get the COVID-19 vaccine. The missionary told CBS News that he thinks Jesus would want people to get their shots, and he's turning to Scripture and the parable of the Good Samaritan to make his case. It's a case that will need to be made clearly if evangelicals — perhaps the most under-discussed group with high levels of vaccine hesitancy — can be persuaded. "Jesus does tell the story of a man that was beaten and robbed and left for dead on the side of a road, and religious leaders walked past him...

A restaurant owner in Michigan was arrested on March 19 for defying state CCP virus pandemic restrictions and ignoring a court order, according to the state attorney general. Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, owner of Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria in Holland, Michigan, was taken into custody following a traffic stop for failing to comply in a civil case filed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. State officials said Pavlos-Hackney kept her restaurant open for indoor dining when it was banned, didn’t comply with capacity limits, and didn’t enforce any mask-wearing rules amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic. The...

[snip] As a result of Sen Hawley the republican senate is in an uncomfortable position. None of the senators would participate in an electoral challenge without the authorization of McConnell, the ultimate DeceptiCon. McConnell knows Hawley’s action is going to initiate a roll-call vote. For McConnell to survive the backlash of We The People showing up en masse at the same time as certification is taking place, Mitch is positioning his upper chamber to give the impression of support. The action by Cruz et al is politically motivated; consider it bandwaggoning as an outcome of what Hawley is forcing upon...

"I think it is personal," the Texas senator said about Justice John Roberts' motivation to turn away from the conservative movement with his court decisions Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "despises Donald Trump," which accounts for a number of the decisions he had made from the top seat on the high court in recent years. In an appearance on David Brody's recently launched show "The Water Cooler," Senator Cruz, an attorney and author of the new book "One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History," told the host that...

The founder of a prominent political action committee opposing President Donald Trump’s reelection was arrested on Tuesday in part of a public corruption probe. Matthew Borges, a lobbyist and former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, was arrested in connection to a year-long $60 million federal bribery scheme. According to prosecutors, Borges and three other lobbyists allegedly conspired with the Republican Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives to secure a $1.3 billion taxpayer bailout for an Ohio-based energy company, FirstEnergy Solutions. Law enforcement officials claim that in exchange for helping FirstEnergy receive the bailout, which was meant to prevent...
