<p>South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) sat down for an interview with Ed O’Keefe on “Face The Nation” Sunday morning. Graham, a ranking member of both the Senate Budget Committee and the committee in charge of appropriating funds for the State Department and foreign operations, spoke with obvious emotion about the Biden Administration’s ongoing debacle in Afghanistan which has left 13 service members dead — and what it portends for the U.S. homeland in the future.</p>

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday night that President Joe Biden “should be impeached” over America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, which the Republican lawmaker called “the most dishonorable thing a commander-in-chief has done in modern times.” “This is dereliction of duty by the commander-in-chief,” Graham (R-SC) told Fox News’ “Hannity.”

@JohnCornyn "After reviewing the CBO’s analysis, which estimates the bill will increase the deficit by a quarter trillion dollars, and because of the failure to include my bipartisan amendment, I cannot support the final bill.”

Dems want GOP help raising debt ceiling? GFYS.

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) slammed the Democrats’ recently introduced massive $3.5 trillion spending bill. McConnell called the bill “wildly inappropriate for the country,” describing it as “a left-wing dream of Bernie Sanders fulfilled.” “With regard to this deal they announced yesterday it is a wild spending, taxing spree completely inappropriate for the country, which is already suffering from dramatic inflation right in line with what it was 40 years ago based on what they’ve already done on a single party-line vote earlier this year,” McConnell advised. “This is wildly inappropriate for the...

Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), told Breitbart News Daily there is “no way” the RNC will allow establishment media figures to moderate the 2024 Republican primary debates — if she believes the journalist wants the candidates to fail. She warned that the RNC may encourage the eventual 2024 GOP nominee to refrain from working with the Commission on Presidential Debates if it does not make “significant changes.” Breitbart News Daily host Alex Marlow asked McDaniel about how the RNC plans to deal with the establishment media’s anti-conservative bias, particularly in the context of the 2024 presidential...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), while speaking to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, said regaining the House of Representatives and Senate will check President Joe Biden and the Democrat’s radical agenda. During McConnell’s speech, he said the American people would have a “big decision” to make when they head to the polls in the midterm elections next year to decide who has control of the House and the Senate.

Members of the Republican Study Committee, the largest conservative caucus in Congress, unveiled their plan to rein in spending and cut taxes on Wednesday — in an effort to offer an alternative proposal to the Biden administration’s big-spending plans. The proposal looks to balance the federal budget in five years while cutting $14.4 trillion over the course of a decade and lowering taxes by $1.9 trillion, with the architects of the proposal stating that it would lead to a budget surplus by 2026.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham sound quite swampy on Wednesday night. During an interview on Fox News, McCarthy and Graham joined host Sean Hannity to discuss Joe Biden's joint address to Congress. McCarthy touted South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott as a possible presidential contender following his delivery of the GOP's response to Biden's speech. Graham urged Fox News viewers to go to Scott’s website and donate to his campaign.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday said President Biden’s “daydreams” of a “sweeping socialist legacy” will “never happen” — responding to the White House’s proposal for a $1.8 trillion social spending and tax hike plan. The “American Families Plan” would finance universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds and free community college, as well as subsidize child care and 12 weeks of paid sick and family leave.

President Joe Biden plans to meet with Republican Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and John Hoeven (R-ND) at the White House on Monday, to discuss his proposed $2.5 trillion spending plan. Democrat Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), as well as Sen. Angus King (I-ME), will join in on the meeting. House members will include Democrats Reps. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Charlie Crist (D-FL) and Norma Torres (D-CA). Reps. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) and Kay Granger (R-TX) will represent Republicans.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., mentioned that he’s not “afraid of a struggle” if former President Donald Trump campaigns in opposition to him in 2022 after being labeled a “weak and inneffective RINO” by him earlier within the yr. “I have been via wars in South Dakota, political wars, with my very own celebration after I ran the primary time, with the Democrats in a few hotly contested Senate races, so being afraid of a struggle or anyone coming after me just isn’t one thing that is going to affect that call,” Thune instructed “Fox Information Sunday.” Thune has but to...

Rep. Liz Cheney R-Wyo., chair of the House GOP Conference, warned Sunday that President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan will ultimately wind up raising taxes on the middle class. In an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Cheney said the whole bill will have to be “redone” if it’s going to win bipartisan support. “You are certainly going to see in addition to the corporate tax increases in the bill, you'll see middle-class tax increases,” she said of the $2.3 trillion proposal.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a sharp warning from the Senate floor on Tuesday, warning of a “scorched-Earth Senate” in response to Democrats pressing to end the filibuster. “Does anyone really believe the American people were voting for an entirely new system of government by electing Joe Biden to the White House and a 50-50 Senate?” McConnell asked his colleagues, emphasizing the Senate is split and Democrats only have the edge due to the party occupying the White House.

Former Vice President Mike Pence will narrate a four-part limited series on the life of Rush Limbaugh for Fox News Media’s subscription streaming service Fox Nation. The four-part series is called the Age of Rush, and will drop on March 10. Pence is a former radio host himself, and others featured in the project include Limbaugh’s producer, James Golden, aka “Bo Snerdley,” as well as radio hosts Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Brian Kilmeade, Mark Steyn and Larry Elder. Also contributing to the special will be Fox News Channel anchor Bill Hemmer, MediaBuzz’s host Howard Kurtz and Fox News contributor Newt...

In recent months, the hatred of Fox News from the left has been almost matched by trending memes – from the right! Examples include (to paraphrase) “Fox News has turned left.” “Fox News is being run by Disney.” “The woke wives of the Murdoch sons are running Fox.” “RINO Paul Ryan is running Fox News from his seat on the company’s board of directors.” And so on. All of that is false. Total BS. How do I know? Unlike most of the new anti-Fox critics, I actually watch the Fox News Channel (FNC). I take notes. I have monitored the...

Dan Crenshaw does social media good. What he may lack in depth perception, he makes up for in a Don Henley-esque way of getting down the heart of the matter. This is no doubt to in response to the latest casualty of the culture wars, Gina Carano. In case you didn't know, the former Star Wars star is right-leaning. She was found guilty of the high crime of tweeting right-leaning opinions. Ironically, the same week we found out far-left director Joss Whedon may have allegedly been abusing his female stars for decades. But again, he was far left. So ......

Former Vice President Mike Pence is joining the Heritage Foundation, he and the conservative organization announced on Thursday. Pence, the former governor of Indiana who became former President Donald Trump’s running mate in 2016 and served as his vice president for four years, will be a distinguished visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

He’s jettisoning this 215-year-old protection for minority rights based upon promises from two Democrat senators. ...Thanks to Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, Sen. Chuck Schumer is the Majority Leader. He’s proposed an equal-power sharing agreement, provided that the Senate ditches the filibuster. Of course, the notion of equal power is a chimera. I did mention Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, right? For a while McConnell held firm, refusing to go along with Schumer’s proposal. But Schumer nagged, whined, and complained. He went on MSNBC and said that McConnell’s stubbornness was making his “entire caucus” mad. For a while, McConnell held strong. But no longer....

CHAIRMAN REED TAKES THE GAVEL: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dropped his demand that Democrats agree to give up their power to change Senate rules to end the filibuster, which now clears the way for committees to be rebalanced to reflect the 50/50 Senate split and for Democrats to take over the chairmanship. That means Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, who has been chairman-in-waiting, on the Armed Services Committee, will take over from Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, but more importantly, bills that receive a tie vote in committee will proceed to a floor vote, where the vice president can break...
