Sounds like the wimpy Republicans started something that they could not finish and were forced to roll over for the leftist and progressive Democrats once again!

I suggest that before one red cent is sent to the secret service, the secret service needs to start forking over information that Congress has been asking to see for the last three months.

In this case Mike Johnson is right. The original bill that included the SAFE Act would never have passed a Democrat controlled Senate. It would have created drama and little else. Government shutdowns are not the answer. A totally Republican held Congress with a strong leader at the top is. We need to see and understand this clearly and logically and not be ruled by emotions.

In a visit to Sprankle's Neighborhood Market in Leechburg, Pennsylvania, former president Donald Trump helped a mother of three pay for her groceries. It was a move sure to endear him to everyday Americans, and Trump's campaign aide Margo Martin caught it all on video. (X Video) Trump pulled out some of his own cash to pay for a bag of popcorn, handing over a few bills and telling the cashier to "keep the rest." He then handed the remaining bills in his hand, apparently around $100, to a woman checking out in the next lane over, saying the money should help her bill

Kamala Harris surely is wracking up some endorsements. Except they're the kind of endorsements that aren't exactly going to make more people vote for you, including Liz and Dick Cheney, as well as Vladimir Putin and the IRS Agents Union. Imagine thinking that helps you, but her people are touting these things. The Lincoln Project has even put out a cartoon ad featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Dick Cheney. I'm sure they thought it was clever, but I don't think they realized -- because they're perpetually clueless -- what a great ad for former President Donald Trump this is. The ad has Sanders calling Cheney a "warmonger"

An appearance on national television proves that Kamala Harris’s own surrogates are just as clueless about the issues impacting the American people as she is and just as inept at explaining her ‘ideas.’ Kelly Hyman, a Florida attorney and Democratic strategist, appeared on the Fox News show Your World with Neil Cavuto to defend Harris’s plan to lower the price of goods for Americans. But she was left completely clueless when Sandra Smith, who was filling in for Cavuto, decided to perform an act of journalism and ask her to specify Harris’s economic plan in detail for viewers.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen issued a stark warning about the economy and delivered what appeared to be a veiled endorsement with just over forty days to go before the presidential election. In an op-ed written in the Wall Street Journal, the top economic official signaled the U.S. is on the right economic path and touted the policies implemented in the Biden administration over the last three and a half years. But she also warned the U.S. needs to stay on track. 'Risks remain, but the data suggest that we’re on the path to a soft landing,' Yellen wrote just days after the Federal Reserve announced its largest interest rate cut

The crowd at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on Monday erupted into cheers as Breitbart News’s Jon Kahn’s song, “Fighter,” played. Kahn’s song was played prior to Trump taking the stage. As Breitbart News has previously reported, Kahn’s song, which is a tribute to Trump, “landed at #1 on the iTunes charts across all genres.” The song’s lyrics go: I’ve been down Counted out Smiling through the taste of blood In my own mouth I got bruises Broken bones But they don’t know I ain’t in this ring alone I’m a fighter No one can say that I’m a run and hider I was born to be a do or die-er A make it righter

"The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July. The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponized Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency," Trump posted on Truth Social Monday afternoon.

Donald Trump paid $100 towards the groceries of a mother shopping in Pennsylvania on Monday. During a living room politics stop at a local grocery store chain in western Pennsylvania, the former president took money from his wallet to help a woman checking out with her three sons. 'Here,' Trump said while taking out a Benjamin and handing it to a store patron checking out. 'It's going to go down a little bit,' he said of her grocery bill that day. 'It just went down $100.'

More than 700 members of the Deep State — a mixture of high, medium, and low-ranking government officials and staffers — signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, in a move reminiscent of the letter 51 former intelligence officials signed claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. In fact, some of the signatories of the new letter also signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, such as former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and Air Force Gen. (Ret.) Michael Hayden.Other signatories of the new letter include Trump-haters Alexander Vindman, the former Ukrainian-American National Security Council staffer and retired Army lieutenant colonel who sparked the second impeachment

The mass exodus continues. Former congressional candidate Sammy Ravelo, a Gulf War veteran, 9/11 first responder, and retired NYPD lieutenant, has officially cut ties with the Democrat Party. In recent months, the Democrat Party has witnessed an increasing number of former supporters, like Ravelo, walking away due to the lies and propaganda being fed to the American people. For years, Democrats have claimed they are the party of the people, of unity, and of progress. But Ravelo’s departure lays bare what many Americans already know: it’s all a facade. The Democrat Party isn’t for America, it’s for control — and law-abiding citizens like Ravelo are done playing their game.

The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida, previously wrote a letter stating “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” according to a new filing Monday by federal prosecutors. In a court hearing, prosecutors also said they plan to charge Ryan Wesley Routh with attempting to assassinate Trump, and a federal magistrate judge ordered Routh to remain detained pending further proceedings. A witness told investigators that Routh had dropped off a box at his home months before, which “contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.”

As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November. Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that,

Media titan Barry Diller wants to see former President Donald Trump “pushed into the dust heap of history” come November, claiming a Kamala Harris presidency would be “extraordinarily healthy” for America. Speaking at a recent business summit in West Hollywood, Diller — the mogul who runs the left-wing Daily Beast, among many other media properties — glossed over the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration, including record consumer prices, an unprecedented tidal wave of illegal immigrants, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. None of that appears to matter to Diller. What does matter is getting rid of Trump.

The Secret Service in America not only failed to protect President Trump from nearly getting assassinated on two occasions, but it’s so discombobulated that agents are now shooting themselves. WUSA 9 revealed today that a United States Secret Service (USSS) agent was on duty Saturday evening right before 8 p.m. when he “negligently” discharged his weapon and shot himself. The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. The Secret Service is not making any further details public at this time as they plan to investigate what happened.
