Thomas Massie & Juan Merchan: Two Peas

Wow! Only four days into the new year and already two public figures have locked-down victories as 2025’s two stupidest people in American society. First up at bat on Friday was the comical U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) who clearly has no future with California Psychics.com (the website that boasts it turns down 98% of the psychics who apply for work because of their dubious ability to make accurate predictions.) Massie—the linear equivalent of Mayberry deputy Barney Fife, who was only issued one bullet on the 1960 TV series “The Andy Griffith Show”—apparently believed he was going to derail U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s re-

Ah, the Republican, Inc press speaks! The new Ron Paul may not always be exactly on it, but he's closer than anyone at the RINO establishment Town Hall. What Massie and his companions have done is shown professional squish Mike Johnson that he can be McCarthyed if and when necessary. That's a good thing.

I guess we should put Tom Tradup in the Swamp category. I am so tired conservatives being berated and otherwise hassled for having conservative values and standing by them. It is not the least important if the vaunted Tom Tradup likes Thomas Massie; what counts is this: Does Representative Massie represent his district and do his constuents approve of his representation? I guess the answer is yes because Rep Massie has been re-elected by a fairly well educated and wealthy district. Go pound sand, Tom Tradup.

Tradup dismissed himself by putting Masse and Merchan in the same sentence. Who would want to read about that?

Tom Tradup has no business being published by any vehicle with a modicum of integrity. He is bashing a man, Massie, who is a man of Honor and will not bow to the political aims of another but represents the people of his district. Obviously, like Johnson, Tradup wouldn't know anything about Honor. Johnson is a dirtbag treasonous POS and doesn't deserve the Speakership...witness the Democrat omnibus bill he tried to shove down the throats of America. I may have to rethink subscribing to Townhall!

President Joe Biden rewarded one of the Left’s most influential and notorious donors Saturday, giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros. The White House announced the honor in a list of 19 recipients, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and LGBTQ megadonor Tim Gill. Biden framed Soros’ funding as philanthropy in service of “democracy” and “social justice.” George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations,” the White House explained. “Through his network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.”

MTA chair and CEO Janno Lieber brushed off subway crime as “in people’s heads” as congestion pricing launched Monday — forcing more New Yorkers into the plagued public transit system. Lieber skirted around concerns over safety on the subways during a Monday morning interview on “Bloomberg Surveillance,” telling listeners: “Some of these high-profile incidents, you know, terrible attacks have gotten in people’s heads and made the whole system feel unsafe.” “The overall stats are positive. Last year we were actually at 12 and a half percent less crime than 2019, the last year before COVID,” Lieber said.

In a total failure to accept a clear electoral loss, leftists plan to gather in Washington, D.C., and other large cities across the nation on Jan. 20, Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day. They claim their aim is to “defeat Trump’s extreme right, billionaire agenda.” The FBI is still prosecuting people who attended the chaotic Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Cuba became an independent country in 1902. You can divide the island’s history into two periods: the pre-Castro years and the current regime’s period in power since 1959. I was born in the last decade of pre-Castro Cuba. My story so typical of the other kids born in the 1950s. We were the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of immigrants from Spain or elsewhere. Our ancestors came to Cuba because it was a prosperous island, an attractive place for Spaniards seeking a better life, for Jewish refugees from Europe, hardworking Asians, and others. It was a young and vibrant country with hope and a future. I

Joe Biden’s first 46 months in the White House were an exercise in political vandalism, the effects of which the world will be dealing with for years. But it wasn’t enough for him. He’s accelerated his offensive on his way out. Inauguration Day can’t arrive soon enough. The candidate who ran in 2020 on restoring dignity to the office of the president is a small and petty man. This is not a revelation but a fact known since he “served” in the U.S. Senate and was especially evident when ran for president the first time, nearly four decades ago, dropping out after he could no longer cover his serial lies,

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday he expects to pass President-elect Trump’s agenda through one big reconciliation package before Memorial Day. In an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Johnson reiterated that Republicans will try to pack in as many policy items as possible into a large reconciliation bill, which would avoid the 60-vote threshold necessary to pass most legislation in the Senate. Reconciliation legislation requires a simple majority, or 50 votes, in the upper chamber. “We’re 15 days out from the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump for his second term. And we want to make sure that we’re jump-starting the agenda now over the next two weeks,

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made a surprise visit to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Trump on Saturday. They were joined by a number of Trump’s expected nominees for his forthcoming administration, according to a pool report, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), tapped for secretary of State; Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), picked for national security adviser; and Scott Bessent, selected for Treasury secretary. CBS News reported that Tilman Fertitta, Trump’s pick for ambassador to Italy, was at the meeting as well. Trump greeted a crowd at Mar-a-Lago before a showing of a documentary about his close ally, John Eastman, and he praised the Italian prime minister. “This is very exciting.

Justin Trudeau is expected to resign as the leader of Canada's Liberal Party, a move that will set up his ouster as Prime Minister as well. According to the Globe and Mail, Trudeau could announce his departure as soon as Monday in a bid to get ahead of an all-important caucus meeting on Wednesday. The controversial far-left leader has led his party to the abyss over the last several years, with the Pierre Poilievre-led Conservative projected to win a resounding victory in October's elections. Once he's resigned his party position, Trudeau will be replaced as Prime Minister, though the exact timeline is unclear.

Teachers in New Jersey no longer have to pass a reading, writing, and arithmetic test to be certified, as of Jan. 1, thanks to Act 1669 (it would be more appropriate to call it the 1619 Act). Because American children aren’t already way behind where they need to be academically, it’s important for them to be taught by teachers as ignorant as themselves.

From the beginning of the Harris/Biden administration, the focus of the FBI and every other organ of government has been not protecting America from criminals, terrorists, or hostile foreign states like China but pursuing and punishing political enemies. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin made clear his quixotic campaign against white people in the military. Then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley vowed to combat “white rage.” Joe Biden repeatedly proclaimed America’s greatest terror threat was “white supremacy,” which, to his way of thinking, was Normal Americans who opposed his policies.

The Biden administration is banning certain natural gas water heaters from the market as part of its climate change agenda, a move critics say will jack up energy costs for low-income and senior households. The move in the final days of the administration will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change advocates and President Biden say cause global warming. The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today’s least efficient tankless models.

We can’t be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden’s awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America. In honoring Soros, Biden said: “Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world,” reads the Soros citation. Soros has been a relentless enemy of freedom throughout his adult life. “His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be

Schumer went into full shameless mode, and basically denied what he said even when host Kristen Welker played a clip of him saying it. But Chuck had more to say, and when asked to analyze the Democrats' electoral defeats in the November elections, when the GOP took control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office, he appeared to blame voters for being too stupid

WASHINGTON — President Biden is moving to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters, a last-minute effort to block possible action by the incoming Trump administration to expand offshore drilling. Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing. “My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage

Motorists heading into some of Manhattan’s busiest neighborhoods have begun shelling out a first-in-the-nation $9 congestion toll — a controversial levy critics contend will drive people out of Gotham and devastate the local economy. The scheme officially took effect at midnight on Sunday, meaning drivers entering the city below 60th Street will now have to pay $9 during peak hours — 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends — and $2.25 for off-peak hours. During peak hours, large trucks will pay $21.60, small trucks $14.40 and motorcycles $4.50.
