Well, for liberals, year one was the darkest era in human history. It was the return of Lord Voldemort, the resurgence of Sauron from the land of Mordor, or the Galactic Empire reigning hellfire from the Death Star, whatever terrible cultural villain suits the narrative that was it. Frankly, it was probably the former because…
It’s been nearly 24 hours since Minority Leader Chuck Schumer got Democrats in line to end the #SchumerShutdown. It was the right thing to do but leftists, who Schumer usually sides with, are absolutely enraged by the cave. ACLU: “Enough is enough. We cannot rely on empty promises from those who have already proven to…
You already knew that both parties are trading hypocritical barbs over the current ‘Schumer Shutdown,’ but this clip from the archives is really quite special and simply too delicious not to share immediately. Back when Republicans pushed a flawed shutdown strategy over Obamacare in 2013, a certain Senator from New York pronounced himself aghast. The GOP’s disgraceful ‘hostage taking’…
With the government still shut down as the workweek began, President Trump took to Twitter to blame the Democrats. “The Democrats are turning down services and security for citizens in favor of services and security for non-citizens. Not good!” he wrote. He also accused them of using the shutdown to appease “their far left base.”…
A four-page memo circulating in Congress that reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses is being described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia. Speaking with Fox News, the lawmakers said they could not yet discuss the contents of the memo they reviewed on…
The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to have the final say on President Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The Justice Department late Thursday asked the court to hear its appeal of the 9th Circuit’s decision to block the administration from ending the Obama-era program. DOJ attorneys argued in the…
The White House physician said Tuesday that President Trump is in excellent physical and mental health, adding he has “absolutely no concerns about the president’s cognitive ability or his neurological function” after conducting a medical examination of the president last week. “All clinical data indicates the president is healthy and that he will remain so…
Who deserves credit for the booming economy? This is not a petty argument. How voters answer the question could well determine whether Democrats retake the House of Representatives come November. Trump and Obama (and their admirers) are slugging it out, both claiming that it is their policies that have led to the ongoing economic expansion,…
Winter Storm Inga is bringing snow and ice to the South on Tuesday and will also spread accumulating snow to the East Coast through Wednesday. A long band of light to locally moderate snow is ongoing from the interior Northeast southwestward into Kentucky, Tennessee, northern Alabama, northern Mississippi, southern Arkansas, northern Louisiana and Texas. Inga brought some…
Republican Senator David Perdue insisted Sunday that President Trump did not use the word “sh*thole” to refer to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations during a bipartisan immigration meeting last week. “I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want…
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi mocked the group of men leading immigration talks as “the five white guys” after this week’s discussions on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program did not include any minority members of Congress. In fact, she likened the men—House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas,…
The State Department unveiled a revamped travel warning system Wednesday, giving five Mexican states the sternest “do not travel” advisory alongside war-torn nations like Syria, Yemen and Somalia. All five states — Tamaulipas on the U.S. border and Sinaloa, Colima, Michoacan and Guerrero on the Pacific coast — are hotspots of drug cartel activity, either…
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program on Tuesday, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security’s “decision to rescind DACA was based on a flawed legal premise.” U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled the Obama-era program must remain in place while litigation plays out. Alsup,…
President Trump is hosting a major meeting at the White House Tuesday morning with lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle. The goal: to tackle the issue of illegal immigration. The meeting comes just days ahead of a potential government shut down, with DACA at the center of negotiations. Here is the list of…
The Justice Department has launched a new investigation into allegations the Clinton Foundation used “pay to play” politics while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state, Fox News has confirmed. A source familiar with the investigation told Fox News late Thursday the investigation is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI in…
The hits just keep on coming. I’ve been covering the Frankenstein fallout since The Worst Piece of Legislation In History passed, and the results continue to shock the conscience. Matt brought you up to speed on the bonuses and other investments announced by American and Southwest Airlines this week, but they’re hardly alone. Let’s survey some of the additional devastation wrought by this…
California on Monday officially became the first ‘sanctuary state’ in the country as the bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed in October went into effect. “These are uncertain times for undocumented Californians and their families, and this bill strikes a balance that will protect public safety, while bringing a measure of comfort to those families who…
Just days after the United Nations General Assembly voted on and passed a resolution condemning America’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (which it has been for decades, whether the U.N. and third-world dictators want to admit it or not), Nikki Haley has shown that when she said that the United States would be ‘taking…
ISIS has lost 98 percent of the territory it once held — with half of that terror group’s so-called “caliphate” having been recaptured since President Trump took office less than a year ago, U.S. military officials said Tuesday. The massive gains come after years of “onerous” rules, when critics say the Obama administration “micromanaged” the…
It’s (nearly) over. By a 51-48, strictly along party lines, the US Senate has passed a GOP-backed tax reform package that will cut taxes for more than 80 percent of all Americans (raising taxes on a tiny, disproportionately wealthy fraction), benefit small businesses, and make America’s extraordinarily highcorporate tax rate — both statutory and effective — far more internationally competitive.…
