A bitter feud — which began in 2015 when Donald Trump said of former POW John McCain “I like people who weren’t captured” — is over, Page Six is told. Trump wasn’t invited to the senator’s funeral in 2018, and the then-president fumed afterward that he didn’t get a “thank you” for Sen. McCain’s state funeral. McCain was also, famously, gave his “thumbs down” vote against Trump’s attempt to repeal Obamacare. (Photos) Sen. McCain’s daughter, political analyst and commentator Meghan McCain, had been particularly furious about the stunning digs, defending her father and calling Trump “a piece of s*** election-denying huckster.”

Ugh, enough of him screwing us for his ego and his daughter going along for the ride after his death. RINO is gone, let's not rehash.

President Trump was grateful for all the help which came from many sectors to assist Tulsi get over the finish line. He demonstrated over the top consideration to the McCain family at the time of the Senator’s death. I hope Meghan is finally as thankful as she should be that this good man is our President yet again.

He was nothing more than a possibly straight Lyndsey Graham. He did and said all the right things until after the election. Then he went back to selling his soul. He deserves nothing more than contempt.

Trump should have eased up as McCain neared his death. Those unnecessary attacks likely cost him Arizona in 2020.

Actually it was John McCain who started the feud when he called Trump supporters “nuts”.

I live in SC and don't know anyone who likes Lindsey Graham. I'm thinking the same might be said for McCain. . . still causing problems from the grave. Speaking of obamacare, when does the Republican House work on getting rid of that failure? I'm sick of having to prove to the IRS that I have health insurance.

Let's not forget that John McCain made himself a stooge for Upchuck Schumer and his vote was the deciding one that kept Oponziecare on the books. How much has that cost Americans in ridiculous insurance premiums since 2018? Glad to see Meghan has made peace with PDJT. Now she needs to make peace with the rest of American people for her father's failings while he was in the Senate. Good luck with that.

McCain was a bitter, humorless troll who never got the joke or was still overcome by the guilt. We should bill the family for the five Phantoms and Skyraiders that he lost. His later career should not detract from his service.

To trust this Meghan is like trusting the other Meghan, Markle that is, a peril at your own risk. This Meghan has always hated 45 and now 47. That hate is still there, just masked because Tulsi has been appointed DNI. Again, do not trust this Meghan.

In a clear display of political bias, celebrities recently canceled multiple performances at the Kennedy Center in protest of President Donald Trump. Once celebrated for its commitment to artistic expression, this arts institution has allowed partisan politics to shape its programming decisions. Trump’s shakeup, in which he ousted 18 members of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts board and replaced them with a Trump-aligned majority, has made left-wing crybabies spiral into a black hole and flee the Washington, D.C. institution.

When Barack Obama won the 2008 election, some wondered if this signaled the end of conservatism. Democrats knew how to connect with a winning coalition; they knew how voters felt about the issues. Now, that coalition is dead, with the younger voters, working-class families, and healthy shares of the union rank-and-file becoming Trump supporters. What happened? That’s a long discussion for another time, but it shows that nothing is permanent in politics.

Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan is poised to issue a temporary restraining order that would block nearly everyone in the Trump administration from accessing any data produced by any federal agency or dismissing any federal or contract workers. The order comes in response to a suit filed by 13 states — New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington — claiming "that President Trump has violated the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution by creating a new federal Department without Congressional approval and by granting Musk sweeping powers over the entire federal government without seeking the advice and consent of the Senate."

President Donald Trump’s decision to put one of New York’s own, ex-Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency is already paying off — literally. Zeldin last week announced that his team rooted out roughly $20 billion in taxpayer money that the Biden administration had squirreled away at an unnamed outside financial institution. The plan, per Zeldin, was to park that cash to be passed out to far-left climate groups in “a rush job with reduced oversight,” as it was “awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency.”

Curiouser and curiouser - on Thursday, hours after the swearing-in of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as director of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Planned Parenthood apparently scrubbed their institutional Instagram posts. As in, all of them: Planned Parenthood caught the internet’s attention on Thursday after all of its Instagram posts were deleted within hours of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary RFK Jr.’s swearing in. The organization, in an apparent nod to this move, posted a pair of eyes on a black background on its Instagram story with no explanation.

Ric Grenell, a former top aide to President Donald Trump, is making waves in California politics as he threatens to challenge former Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for governor. Known for his outspoken conservative views and leadership in the Trump administration, Grenell positions himself as a strong alternative to the liberal policies that have dominated the state under Harris’s influence. With California facing mounting issues, from skyrocketing homelessness to rising crime rates, Grenell’s potential candidacy signals a bold effort to bring pragmatic, conservative leadership to a state increasingly disillusioned with its far-left agenda.

Joe Biden’s time as president was truly a sleeper. Biden, 82, took more time off than any other US president in modern history, spending 577 of his 1,463 days in office – or 39% of his presidency — on vacation, according to shocking new data compiled by the Republican National Committee. The average American — who gets 11 paid vacation days a year — would have to work 52 years to rack up as much down time as Biden scored in his four years.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith received $140,000 in pro bono legal services from high-profile DC firm Covington and Burling last month, shortly before he resigned from the Justice Department. The legal services were labeled as a ‘gift’ on Jack Smith’s financial disclosure obtained by Politico. The reason for the legal services was not immediately clear. However, it was previously reported that Jack Smith’s prosecutors sought legal counsel from high-powered DC law firms as Trump’s new DOJ was set to take over. It was previously reported that Jack Smith’s investigators were fielding calls with lawyers in DC.
