The Senate voted in the early hours of Saturday morning to pass a $1.2 trillion government funding bill, averting a government shutdown. The Senate voted 74-24 to pass the “minibus” government spending bill. The bill passed through the House on Friday morning. As Breitbart News’s Bradley Jaye reported, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) violated the Hastert Rule in passing the government funding bill despite the objections of the majority of House Republicans. The minibus spending package contained funding bills for the Departments of Defense (DOD), Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS),

We are screwed, the national debt has increased by 600 billion dollars in the past 90 days. The ship of state is awash in red ink. By the time Trump takes office in 9 months the country will be beyond saving. It will be blamed on Trump and conservatives and the destruction of the last best hope for the world will be gone.

the Senate has proven itself to be the most useless body of elected representatives in the history of the modern world, their incompetence is glaringly evident and their go-along-to-get-along attitude is / has hurt our country in more ways than one, too many times

While the Congress and President are proud of themselves for this sham budget, they should be ashamed. Nobody has done their jobs for several years by having a budget passed by September 30 of each year. Every year it is the same thing. Continuing resolution after continuing resolution until the threat of a shutdown around election time shares everyone and they pass one giant CR kicking the budget until the next 9/30 deadline. Do your jobs Congressional cowards, and pass the budget with the cuts that people want!

Donald Trump was mocked on social media by President Joe Biden and other liberals after claiming he won two golf trophies at his West Palm Beach club. Trump, still an avid golfer at 77, posted about his successes Sunday before attending a glitzy event where golfing legend Jack Nicklaus presented him a trophy as wife Melania watched on. It comes as the president is just hours away from risking losing that club as part of a potential seizure by liberal New York State Attorney General Letitia James if he fails to pay an eye-popping $454 million fraud fine.

The Chicago Board of Elections says it made a mistake when tabulating the results for the Democratic primary race for Cook County state's attorney. The race to lead the nation's second-largest prosecutor's office could not be tighter with just 4,800 votes separating the candidates after a heated primary campaign. At last count, Eileen O'Neill Burke is leading Clayton Harris III by 4,7771 votes. O'Neill Burke has 255,010 votes while Harris has 250,239 votes. The election board is now looking to add an additional 10,000 votes to the total counts after some vote-by-mail ballots were 'mistakenly left out'.

One image shows a suspect named as Shamsuddin Fariddun foaming at the mouth as he lies on a gym floor with his trousers pulled down and wires attached to his groin area. At the other end they are attached to a military radio powered by an 80-volt battery. Separate video sees another man, Saidakrami Murodali Rachabalizoda, having his ear severed and then spitting it out as he is forced to eat it.

Over the weekend, in the dead of the night, the Senate passed the omnibus after the House had already passed it on Friday despite some valiant objections from conservative members like Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT). It's been a wild month in spending for other ways, though. Biden also released a plan for his budget earlier this month for Fiscal Year 2025, which has been met with severe criticism from Republicans, in both chambers.In a statement for Townhall, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a warning about what's really behind Biden's budget. "Biden’s budget is not a real budget--it is a campaign messaging item.

Eric Trump said Sunday that insurance companies “were laughing” when former President Donald Trump asked for a half-billion-dollar bond request while on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. The former president reported being unable to post a $454 million bond after being ordered to pay the State of New York as part of a ruling in his civil fraud case brought upon by Democratic Attorney General Letitia James. Eric Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that the amount his father was ordered to pay was “not available in the United States” after being turned down by various insurance companies.

The hands that grab former President Donald Trump’s New York properties could hand him the White House, a pollster says. Pollster Frank Luntz appeared on CNN Thursday amid talk that New York State Attorney General Letitia James could begin seizing Trump’s properties Monday. James sued Trump in a civil fraud case that ended up with Trump being ordered to pay out millions, with $464 million due Monday. Trump has indicated that making that payment — which state rules say must be made for Trump to appeal — could be difficult, leading to speculation that James is ready to seize Trump properties in New York state’s swanky Westchester County.

That's slang for an assassination. But Carville apparently has rhetorical immunity. He gets to use violent metaphors, and that's fine.

In the decade I served on a school board, I learned a great deal about group dynamics. The most important lesson, I suppose, is that there are people -- most often highly neurotic people -- who deliberately create chaos. They undermine every effort to rationally deal with issues that require solutions. They violate norms like crediting the work of committees that were designated to analyze what needs to be done and offer solutions for the board to act on, dispiriting those desirous of accomplishing what must be done. They go behind the backs of board members to undercut the systematic workings of the board,

Trump claimed that he had $500 million in cash on hand to squash James’ attempts to seize his hard-earned assets, including his Mar-a-Lago residence. “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump wrote in an all-caps Truth Social post.
