Though the House of Representatives narrowly approved his impeachment, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told Kristin Welker of NBC's "Meet The Press" that "I have no regrets for anything that's happened on my watch. I have maintained all along that this country needs the millions of refugees that we have helped come into the country since President Biden took office." "Let's look at what we've gained," he suggested. "Hotel vacancy rates in some of our largest cities have plummeted. Many of these businesses were hit hard by the COVID lockdowns and were facing bankruptcy. Now with the government paying...

This week, actor and Bible expert Rob Reiner claimed that "Christians have no business being in politics. It goes against the teachings of Jesus. First of all, Jesus commanded his followers to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. This command came in answer to whether his followers should pay taxes. He pointed out that it was Caesar's image on the coins needed to pay taxes. Money in America has pictures of dead former presidents. Clearly it belongs to the government that generously allows people to temporarily use it. Christians who agitate or vote for tax cuts are simply out of...

In a debate among four candidates running for California's open US Senate seat Rep. Barbara Lee (D) proposed raising the minimum wage to $50 per hour. "Just do the math!" Lee urged. "It would mean that a 40 hours per week worker would make $104,000 per year. I call that a living wage. If I'm elected to the US Senate I will make passing a law to implement this nationwide my top priority." Rival contenders Reps. Adam Schiff (D) and Katie Porter (D) support a more modest increase of $25 per hour. Schiff pointed out that "a large contingent of...

Special investigator Robert Hur's determination that President Biden should not be charged for the crime of mishandling classified documents because "he is an elderly man with a poor memory" has rankled the nation's chief executive. "How could he say that?" Biden wondered. "It seems gratuitous to me. I have a great memory. I can remember stuff that no one else remembers. Why didn't Garland redact that statement from Hur's report?" At the Department of Justice (DOJ), Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer--a top career official, not a political appointee--defended the Hur report, saying that "the identified language is neither gratuitous...

NEW YORK — Former President Trump's civil trial in New York has concluded with Judge Arthur Engoron ordering that Trump pay whatever dollar amount is necessary to bankrupt his Presidential campaign. "I, Judge Engoron, hereby rule that President Trump must pay -- hang on, let me google what his campaign raised last quarter," said Judge Ergoron. "Oh forget it, whatever it takes to crush Trump's re-election, that's how much Trump owes. Case closed!" The civil trial was initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James who argued that Trump received good terms on bank loans, thus endangering democracy. "Trump receiving...

The Marxist State Media (MSM) is consumed with fear about the coming election. The MSM is currently laying off employees and reducing the salaries of the big name and big ego news readers. The election of Trump will cause chaos in the industry. The MSM will have to fire most of the existing staff to accommodate the hiring of the thousands of deep state operatives fired by Trump as political consultants, military experts, lawfare consultants, journeyman news readers, etc. In unrelated news, Ray Epps completes his sentence. Ray had 30 Patriot Front people show up to perform his community service...

The Biden Administration has declared that elite locales like Montauk and Fishers Island in New York, and parts of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts are eligible for low-income area electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidies. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explained "here's the deal. The only people who can afford EVs are people with high incomes. Spending some of this high income on expensive EVs effectively lowers their income relative to the rest of the population." "More importantly, the early adoption of EVs by the wealthier segment of the population is essential if we hope to displace our dependency on gasoline-powered...

Most people are familiar with the story of Moses telling Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and the powerful plagues God inflicted upon Egypt when Pharaoh refused, but hardly anyone knows about the other plagues the Lord visited upon them.

Causing the WiFi to go down for 15 whole minutes: It was nearly impossible to get anything done.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) went on NBC's "Late Night" to explained that "having 60% of the population living paycheck-to-paycheck is not the economic calamity that Republicans claim it is. It is a step in the right direction toward true socialism. Ideally, 100% of us should be living a lifestyle compatible with the collective well-being. Eventually, the capitalists and the bourgeoisie need to be eliminated. This would end the class struggle because all that were left would be members of the proletariat." "Then the dictatorship of the proletariat would make all the investment decisions," Sanders said. "No longer would capitalists be...

By a vote of 214 for and 216 against, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas narrowly escaped being impeached by the US House of Representatives. Republicans had argued that his complete failure to interdict illegal immigration warranted his removal from office. However, every Democrat and three Republicans voted against impeachment. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo) voted against impeachment saying that "Secretary Mayorkas has completely failed at his job. He is incompetent. He is an embarrassment. And he will most likely be remembered as the worst secretary of Homeland Security in the history of the United States. However, he was only following...

Frustrated by growing Republican opposition to sending more military aid to support the war in Ukraine, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) cited legislation under consideration in Ukraine's Parliament as "a breakthrough idea. They, like us, have problems recruiting people to staff their armed forces. They have a draft, but many are evading reporting for duty. There's a bill in their parliament authorizing the confiscation of the assets of every person who refuses to be drafted. While we don't currently have a draft here we could tweak our laws to authorize the confiscation of the assets of anyone who opposes...

Treasury Department investigators in its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) demanded that banks scour customer transactions for key terms like MAGA and Trump. During a Senate Banking Committee hearing Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said "FinCEN was created to stop money laundering, not spy on Americans. Why would they be targeting Republicans' purchases at Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops?" "Senator, you are forgetting that President Biden has declared that Trump and MAGA are enemies of democracy," Yellen replied. "The President's assessment was the logical inference from Trump's incitement of his MAGA followers to seize power after his defeat...

The Public Interest Legal Foundation's (PILF) efforts to fight election fraud in Michigan are being fiercely resisted by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D). PILF Communications Director Lauren Bis said "there are more than 17,000 registered voters in the state who have been dead for more than a decade. Their names should have been purged from the voter rolls." Benson asserts that "there is no need for the type of intrusive intervention PILF is seeking. Deceased persons will eventually be excised from the list when it is clear that they are dead. The obituaries and grave stones PILF has cited...

Special Counsel Robert Hur completed his year-long investigation of President Biden's mishandling of secret documents. His conclusion was that "Biden willfully retained these materials, stored them in an unsecured manner, and illegally shared them with his ghostwriter." Hur declined to recommend prosecution "because the President presented himself to us as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. It's my belief that a jury would be unlikely to convict him because of his mental incompetence." In an effort to rebut Hur's findings, Biden called a press conference where he claimed "my memory is fine. Take a look at what...

The "woke" government of Portland, Oregon now requires homeowners to obtain city permits to remove trees that have fallen on their houses. Recently, a large tree felled by an ice storm crashed into Joel and Sarah Bonds' home. Fear of this very outcome led the couple to request permission to remove the tree in 2021. They were turned down because the city's Urban Forestry Division (UFD) ruled that cutting down this tree "would have a negative impact on the neighborhood's character." Spokesman for the UFD Douglas Furr acknowledged that "the recent damage to the Bond's home is unfortunate, but we...

PALM BEACH. FL — In a surprise move, former President Donald Trump endorsed Bud Light as the "Official Beer Of MAGA" and announced trans icon Dylan Mulvany as his running mate in the 2024 election. "Dylan Mulvaney is the greatest woman, the most fantastic woman, anyone who doesn't think so is a total RINO," said Trump at the announcement. "When you think of making America great, you think of baseball, Donald Trump, drinking Bud Light, and Dylan Mulvaney. We're going to take America back, believe me." The controversial pick was met with immediate applause from the crowd at Trump's...

A newly published research paper "COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines: Lessons Learned from the Registrational Trials and Global Vaccination Campaign" in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science debunks virtually everything that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO) maintained concerning the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. The authors wrote "evaluation of the Pfizer trial data showed that their vaccine induced significant increases in serious adverse events (SAEs) in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group. These SAEs including death, cancer, cardiac events, and various autoimmune,...

Shortly after her election as Fulton County district attorney, Fani Willis met with Amanda Timpson, Director of Gang Prevention and Intervention, a position assigned to giving nonviolent juvenile offenders "alternatives to the juvenile court system." During this meeting Timpson told Willis that she had been demoted for attempting to stop Willis campaign aide Michael Cuffee from illegally spending federal grant money on swag, computers, and travel. Two months later Timpson was fired. "When Willis was elected I had high hopes that she would improve the culture of the DA's office," Timpson said. "I wasn't just fired. I was escorted out...
