Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Democrats this week for trying to push Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) out of office, saying that he has never seen a party cannibalize their own this way.
Cruz made the remarks on his podcast “Verdict,” with co-host Ben Ferguson, while discussing Feinstein’s recent absence from the U.S. Senate as she battles shingles.“Shingles, by all accounts is a horribly painful disease,” Cruz said. “I’m grateful I haven’t had it.(Snip) Cruz then explained why Democrats are anxiously trying to push Feinstein out of office while she recovers.
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday released his plan to address homelessness in the U.S., which he says has contributed to the decline of America’s once-great cities.“The homeless have no right to turn every park and sidewalk into a place for them to squat and do drugs,” he said in a video statement. “Americans should not have to step over piles of needles and waste as they walk down a street in a beautiful city -- at least, a once-beautiful city. Because they've changed so much over the last ten years.”
The 45th president argued that the majority should not have to “suffer”
WASHINGTON— A federal watchdog is investigating whether the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration under chief Anne Milgram improperly awarded millions of dollars in no-bid contracts to hire her past associates, people familiar with the probe told The Associated Press.
Among the spending under scrutiny by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General is $4.7 million for “strategic planning and communication” and other contracts that were used to hire people Milgram knew from her days as New Jersey’s attorney general and as a New York University law professor – at costs far exceeding pay for government officials.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) released his proposal to raise the US debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion.
“Now that we’ve introduced a clear plan for a responsible debt limit increase, [Biden and Democrats] have no more excuse, and refuse to negotiate,” McCarthy said on Wednesday.
“House Republicans have a plan. The Senate does not. And the President is ignoring the debt crisis,” he added. Video: (Tweet/Video) McCarthy’s plan will destroy most of Joe Biden’s agenda.
The Speaker’s plan will eliminate Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailout plan and slash the funds set aside for the army of IRS agents.
Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Wednesday for a barrage of posts, but one in particular addressed the issue of Ron DeSantis and his presidential plans—if any—for 2024. Trump flat-out told him that he was stomping the Florida Governor in the polls and that he simply shouldn’t run in this cycle: (Snip) Ron DeSantis is a young man who is not doing well against me in the polls, to put it mildly. I believe that if he decides to run for President, which will only hurt and somewhat divide the Republican Party, which we don’t need,
In 2020, Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Eric Swalwell, confirmed his past relationship with a woman named Fang Fang (or Christine Fang), who was suspected of being a Chinese intelligence operative.
On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hilariously roasted Swalwell after he spoke during a congressional hearing, saying, “That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy. And everyone knows it!”
The indictment of Donald Trump in New York City has been portrayed as everything from the beginning of long-awaited accountability for the former president to a partisan effort to interfere in the 2024 election. Pundits have dissected it from every possible legal and political angle. Much of this commentary has been predictable, which is to say that for the most part liberal Democrats have defended it while conservative Republicans have decried it.
From the standpoint of a political independent, however, what emerges from all this impassioned discourse is a more sober conclusion: Prosecutors should not carry partisan labels.
We didn’t really need a Trump indictment to assert that point. There’s never
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will get to question a former prosecutor of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office after a judge ruled Wednesday that a subpoena Jordan issued to the prosecutor was enforceable.
U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil wrote that the subpoena, which Jordan sent to Mark Pomerantz two weeks ago, had a “valid legislative purpose.”
“It is not the role of the federal judiciary to dictate what legislation Congress may consider or how it should conduct its deliberations in that connection,” Vyskocil wrote. “Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law.”
In the last two years, the defense of democracy has been central to the Democratic Party's attempt to portray itself as the last line of defense against Republicans' alleged authoritarianism. But as recent events in Nashville showed, Democrats' alleged fealty to democracy and abhorrence for agitators and mobs seeking to disrupt the legislative branch of government is more a matter of situational ethics than actual principle. As the career of a new Democratic idol, Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, demonstrates, they're only against anti-democratic rioters when they're seeking to silence Republicans. Jones became a national celebrity when, along with two other Democrats—Reps. Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson—he disrupted
Bed Bath & Beyond is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy within days, concluding a disastrous few years for the homeware giant.
The retailer's collapse could be finalized as soon as this weekend, according to the Wall Street Journal, as its plummeting stock price could cause the company to fall into default.
Following several catastrophic years plagued with supply chain disruptions and the tragic suicide of its CFO, the retail behemoth is set for bankruptcy despite already announcing a slate of store closures and staff layoffs.
Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has finally returned to Capitol Hill, having spent most of his tenure as a U.S. senator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center being treated for clinical depression. Fetterman was discharged on March 31. While it’s good that he’s progressed with mental health issues, we haven’t forgotten about the lingering cognitive impairments that became a major issue of the campaign, as it was clear to anyone that this man wasn’t fit to serve in the U.S. Senate.
His May 2022 stroke left him incapacitated for weeks, and he was lucky to survive. Despite this, he chose to continue campaigning, which could have potentially led
A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time. I always feel like Judas collecting his 30 pieces of silver from someone else’s suffering.
Be that as it may, the Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we are being honest, the Left can come up with talking points
Another three endorsements for President Trump today from the Florida congressional delegation, bringing the total so far to ten with more anticipated. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in Washington DC seeking support. DeSantis is warmly greeted, but President Trump gets the endorsements. What’s going on?
Republican Congressman Greg Steube gives an explanation below about the Ron DeSantis Floridians know, but nationally most do not.
DeSantis is an out-of-touch aloof persona, who generally projects himself as better than others.
Some 41 percent of U.S. adults would not buy an electric car, according to an April 12 Gallup poll of a random sample of 1,009 people. This, if extrapolated to the wider population, would represent around 106 million Americans who are against a key plank of Joe Biden's vision of a green economy. While this comprises a sizeable minority, the survey, conducted between March 1-23, found that a majority of 55 percent either currently own or were considering owning an electric vehicle (EV). Those against buying an EV tended to be older, and 71 percent of those who identified as

Hunter Biden investigation being mishandled,

'clear conflicts of interest': IRS whistleblower replies
An IRS Criminal Supervisory Agent seeking whistleblower protection claims the investigation into Hunter Biden is being mishandled by the Biden administration. In a letter dated April 19, 2023, attorney Mark D. Lytle of the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Nixon Peabody LLP tells members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate that his client has been overseeing the "ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high-profile, controversial subject since early 2020 and would like to make protected whistleblower disclosures to Congress."
A confession: When House Republicans announced plans for a New York hearing to showcase rampant crime, I didn’t need to curb my enthusiasm.
I assumed the worst, that the hearing would bring New Yorkers bad news they already know and that Democrats and their media shills would dismiss the event as theater designed to embarrass Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. I was right.
The hearing, partly because of its timing, smelled like payback for Bragg’s flimsy indictment of Donald Trump, giving Dems and the media the ammunition to repeatedly ridicule it as a partisan dog and pony show.
But I was also wrong in a major way: I underestimated how clueless
DADEVILLE, Ala. – Two teen brothers and a 20-year-old man have been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a mass shooting at a Sweet 16 party in Alabama that killed four people and wounded dozens more, officials announced Wednesday. Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskegee, were arrested Tuesday in nearby Macon County and charged with four counts of reckless murder in the Saturday shooting at a Dadeville birthday party that also injured 32, officials said at a press conference. A third man, Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, of Auburn, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and faces the same charges, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced.
A man serving as a supervising agent on a 'high-profile' criminal tax probe has come forward seeking whistleblower protections while claiming politics are 'improperly infecting decisions' in the investigation.
And in the latest Biden family matter to draw scrutiny in Congress, the matter has been identified as being about the president's son, Hunter Biden.
A lawyer representing the unidentified whistleblower wrote senators as well as inspectors general for the Justice Departments and the Treasury Department on Wednesday.
Senate Democrats on Tuesday failed to temporarily replace Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee.
Dianne Feinstein’s absence from the Senate is holding up Joe Biden’s judicial confirmations.
Feinstein, 89, has been MIA since she was hospitalized for shingles last month.The California senator’s absence from the Senate Judiciary Committee has the panel deadlocked at 10-10.
It is unclear when Feinstein will return Washington.
Feinstein has missed 60 votes out of the 82 taken this year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court is leaving women’s access to a widely used abortion pill untouched until at least Friday, while the justices consider whether to allow restrictions on the drug mifepristone to take effect.
The court is dealing with a new abortion controversy less than a year after its conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.
At stake now is whether to allow restrictions on mifepristone ordered by a lower court to take effect while a legal challenge to the medication’s Food and Drug Administration approval continues.

On Monday, the DOJ announced the arrest of “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan — in connection with the operation of an illegal “police station” in lower Manhattan. RedState first reported, in October, on the dozens of these secret outposts that have cropped up throughout the world. Their purpose, ostensibly, is to monitor Chinese citizens living abroad. At the time, only one such station was identified in the U.S., while three were noted in Toronto, and others in London, Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Madrid, and Frankfurt. 54 stations (at least) were identified in 30 different countries.
EXCLUSIVE: Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is calling on Congress to investigate the Biden administration over its alleged poor treatment of unaccompanied migrant children detained in the state after a grand jury accused the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of "complete abdication of responsibility" for their welfare.
"A Florida Grand Jury found shocking and horrific evidence of the Biden administration facilitating human trafficking and child exploitation of unaccompanied minors. It should enrage everyone that any child is being exposed to such danger and terrible conditions," Moody told Fox News Digital in a Monday statement.

President Joe Biden’s Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland appeared to begin crying over the issue of climate change while giving testimony during a U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources hearing.
“I really do have to say that all of this is because climate change is the crisis of our lifetime,” Haaland said, as she then appeared to start crying briefly.“We have an obligation to future generations to make sure that we have a planet for them to live on. And that’s why I’m here, and that’s why I’m working incredibly hard
President Joe Biden slammed Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the 'MAGA Republicans' for the 'wacko notions' they want him to agree to in order to raise the debt ceiling.
He made clear he would not do so.
'The MAGA Republican Congress are threatening to default on the national debt. A debt that took 230 years to accumulate overall. Overall. Unless we do what they say, they say they're going to default unless I agree to all these wacko notions they have,' the president said during a speech Wednesday at a union training facility in Maryland.

over civil war, Second Amendment: 'It's infuriating' replies
2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy angered "CNN This Morning" host Don Lemon during a debate on gun rights for Black Americans while on-air.
In the heated exchange, Lemon took offense to Ramaswamy’s recent statements at an NRA conference last week about Democrats in the south instituting gun laws to prevent African Americans from protecting their newfound rights in the post-Civil War era.
Lemon reduced Ramaswamy’s point to a declaration that the Civil War was fought merely to give Black people gun rights and berated him for it, telling him the statement "insulted" him as a Black American.
Alabama authorities announced Wednesday that two teenagers have been arrested and charged in the Dadeville mass shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party last weekend.
Four people were killed, and another 32 people were injured when gunfire erupted at approximately 10:34 p.m. Saturday at the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio, located in the 200 Block of Broadnax Street in Dadeville, in Tallapoosa County about 62 miles northeast of the state capital of Montgomery.
Days later, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, were both formally charged with four counts of reckless murder.
Last weekend, a flash mob of up to 500 Chicago young people — mostly teens — descended on downtown and began to burn cars, terrorize tourists, smash windows, and fight among themselves in a no-longer-shocking display of lawlessness and mayhem.
Some Chicago leaders appeared frightened. “We’ve had more than our share of downtown mass arrest incidents going back over a decade. This is not new,” 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins said. “What is new is to have it happen three days in a row.”
The police were paralyzed and ended up quarreling with other agencies about who was in charge and who was at fault.

The Biden administration has announced that the president will veto the H.R. 734 bill that seeks to protect female sports from transgender athletes.
H.R. 734, also known as “The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” was introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and is expected to come to vote in the House this week. The bill seeks to prevent biological males from participating in women’s sports. H.R. 734 will amend Title IX to recognize sex as “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
The House Education and Workforce Committee already approved the bill 24–17, with Democrats voting against it and every Republican voting for it.

A Missouri school district plans to include the personal pronouns “they/them” in math problems and hire certified teachers as “math interventionists” to fight racism and gender bias in math classes after a curriculum evaluation.

“Research shows clearly that any space where learning occurs is neither free of bias nor resistant to oppressive systems such as racism, sexism, classism or xenophobia,” Susan Bergman, the district’s math curriculum director, wrote

With GOP House members saying their probe of the Biden family’s financial dealings has now spread to nine family members, it appears that troubled son Hunter’s entanglements may only be the beginning of the investigation.
The question now is whether the House Oversight Committee will expose anything that rises to a level that would interest Department of Justice criminal investigators, or if their probe will just shine light on a world of access, favors, and self-dealing that while unsavory is probably not illegal.

America has an undeniable, serious problem with gun violence and firearm deaths. The debate about how to solve it revolves around whether guns are the cause or a symptom of deeper societal issues. In truth, whether cause or symptom, gun violence in the young does not lend itself to a single solution. It is a multifactorial problem that is obscured by a recent alarming statistic, currently being disseminated in the media and scientific literature. Rather than an argument for a ban on AR-15s or a defense of the Second Amendment, this piece is meant to clarify that misleading statistic.
Is the country separating itself into two distinct camps? One increasingly leftist and the other trying desperately to cling to traditional American values? Census data seem to show that it very well could be underway.
Last week, we commented on recent population data showing that people have been fleeing urban areas, noting that these are mostly Democratically controlled, and we’ve pointed out that people have also been moving from red states to blue.
But we wanted to go deeper and get more precise numbers. So, we matched Census net migration data from mid-2020 through mid-2022 for all the nation’s 3,000-plus
It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.
Clarence Thomas is an unconquered American.

It is perhaps no surprise that Emmanuel Macron is in the middle of another big international row. France’s president likes to stir things up. It is his penchant, his trademark foible. Re-elected in 2022 despite a disappointing first term, he has four years left to make a difference. After that, political oblivion beckons – and Macron will still be under 50 in April 2027. Maybe this ticking clock helps explain why he courts danger like a bare-chested surfer riding the waves on the beach at Biarritz. At home, Macron has caused uproar in recent months by pushing through controversial pension reforms opposed by two-thirds of the population.
President Joe Biden railed against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s preliminary budget plan at the White House on Tuesday.
While speaking about what the White House has termed the “care economy,” Biden attacked McCarthy and House Republicans’ preliminary budget plan to lift the debt ceiling until May 2024, create ten-year spending caps, claw back unspent coronavirus aid money, and enact a sweeping energy bill, the Lower Energy Costs Act, work requirement, along with the REINS Act. McCarthy will likely try to pass the plan before April 28 to increase the Republicans’ negotiating ability with Biden, who has refused to negotiate with the House. McCarthy will likely try to pass
The CBC is in a huff about being labeled government-funded media, despite being…government-funded media.
It’s a replay of NPR’s and the BBC’s complaints that Twitter is stating truths about their ties to the government. “We have integrity!,” they declare while proving the opposite by trying to deny a manifest truth. You would think that denying an easily demonstrated fact would be proof that they have no integrity at all, but plenty of liberals share their outrage.
Well, let me give a simple example of how the CBC in particular lies with a straight face about their finances.
Take, for example, this chart. On its face, it seems pretty obvious that government
