House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has moved into rare political space, reaching an approval rating higher than typical for a top party congressional leader and challenging former President Donald Trump’s approval among Republicans. With a 52% favorability overall and 71% among Republicans, McCarthy has erased whatever it was that some House conservatives didn’t like about him during the drawn-out, four-day, 15-ballot speaker election controversy in January.Allies today suggested that McCarthy’s ability to make good on several promises

I wondered about McCarthy. Have decided he deserves a chance to show what he can do without the fragging.

I'm still on the fence about Kevin but in comparison to our President, he's not even up to our President's knee, in order for Kevin to gain any kind of respect he's got to keep up the hard as nails attitude toward the demcommies and make it relentless

While I’m pleased & thankful for the courage that has been displayed, I’m also mindful of the agreement with Gaetz & company before the final Speakership vote. So, the question lingers about how much that factors into KM’s actions.

These 'polls' still show Biden with an edge over Trump. Whereas PDT can pull in 50k+ crowds and people stand in rain or sun for hours to see him. Old Dementia (whenever he leaves his basement) has just a few reporters on designated chairs. Defies logic!

I must say Speaker McCarthy has impressed me so far. He is paying heed to the Freedom Caucus. And he has made the Turtle look like bozo the clown. I wonder how this is going over in his House district in Cal.

That I know of, McCarthy hasn't fooled me once yet (this term) so I will also give him benefit of the doubt. I really perked up when he spoke about Biden's fossil fuel energy giveaways. McCarthy credited the Creator with giving us any of those we have. Two points in his favor.

Although the 15 ballot Speaker election caused some anxiety among us, it worked out because representatives got to freely express their ideas on how the House should be run and to have a mechanism to challenge the Speaker’s leadership. Internal open and transparent debate works for Republicans and most Americans; not so much for Democrats.

We can thank Gaetz for cutting McCarthy off at the knees and making his job very dependent on performance. He doesn’t want to lose that Speaker chair.

We can give credit where it is due. McCarthy has the outstanding Reps. Gaetz, Boebert, Biggs breathing down his neck. The tough decisions for McCarthy, the fiscal ones that go against the globalists masters, have yet to be made. I pray he makes the right choices.

President Joe Biden on Friday pushed back on a Republican report that members of his family received more than $1 million in payments from China, saying it wasn't 'true.' 'That's not true,' Biden said when asked about it as he left the White House to spend the weekend at his home in Wilmington, Del. He was responding to a report House Republicans released on Thursday that showed the president's Hunter Biden, Beau Biden's widow Hallie and other relatives of the president's family received more than $1 million in 2017 from an associate who had entered into a business deal with a Chinese energy company.

New York— Law enforcement officials in New York are making security preparations for the possibility that former President Donald Trump could be indicted in the coming weeks and appear in a Manhattan courtroom in an investigation examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with him, four law enforcement officials said Friday. There has been no public announcement of any timeframe for the grand jury’s secret work, including any potential vote on whether to indict the ex-president. The law enforcement officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said authorities are just preparing in case of an indictment.

The captain of a United Airlines flight due to take off from New York's JFK airport on the morning of 9/11 has said he believes his plane was intended to be a fifth aircraft in the terrorist plot. Tom Mannello was sitting on the tarmac in the cockpit of United Flight 23 at 9am, waiting to take off, when air traffic control ordered all flights back to their gates. Mannello later learned box cutters were found on a plane parked at the neighboring gate, and believes a ground crew assisting the terrorists got the wrong plane, thwarting any attempted attack.

At this point, nothing should be shocking regarding the Biden Administration, not even when it means pushing young kids to undergo life-alternating procedures. Assistant Secretary of Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Rachel Levine promises that medically changing children's gender will be fully "normalized" soon. And if that isn't twisted enough, Levine continued to say that "gender-affirming" treatment of transgender kids is supported "at the highest levels" of President Joe Biden's administration. "I can say that the children, their families, and you all as their providers have support at the highest levels of the federal government," Levine said

Of the ten students, aged between 13 and 17, who were hospitalized in the district, three died because of the pills.

The complexities around, and solutions to, the current banking crisis lie well beyond my core competency, so I'll leave those matters to others. What I will say is that it's indisputable that much of the upheaval can be traced back to the Biden administration's disastrous inflationary policies, which have forced the Fed to hike up interest rates as a form an anti-inflation 'chemotherapy' for the overheated US economy -- actions that have, in turn, directly and heavily contributed to unpleasant externalities like the collapse of Silicon Valley and Signature banks. Biden and his team were directly warned about the highly risky spending they were jamming through in partisan, Democrat-passed behemoths,

Federal prosecutors are eyeing charges against more than 1,000 individuals who may have participated in the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol building. The United States Attorney in Washington sent a letter this week to the chief justice for DC’s federal court system stating that prosecutors overseen by US Attorney General Merrick Garland may bring between 700 and 1,200 new individuals into the justice system, according to Bloomberg News. The staggering figure represents approximately a doubling of prosecutions sought in connection with the event where supporters of President Donald Trump entered the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt proceedings certifying President Joe Biden as winner of the 2020 election.

This week, a professor at Loyola University in Chicago claimed that organized pantries in people’s homes are rooted in “racism and sexism.” Dr. Jenna Drenten, an associate professor of marketing at Loyola University, made the remarks in a piece for the Conversation, where she slammed the trend of people posting videos of their styled, organized pantries on the platform TikTok. According to Drenton, maintaining a clean, organized home equates to “sexist” and “racist” behavior, because most people who post “pantry porn” are white women (via the Conversation): Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of “niceness”:

The track record of the failure of previous predictions matters not in the least, as if mass amnesia has infected not just the media, but government, academia, and the corporate world.
