    “As of right now, four RINO traitors have joined Democrats in signing Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition to vote on extending Obamacare subsidies to illegals and wealthy people for another three years.

    However, our GOP majority can’t come together to expel Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for stealing $5 million in FEMA funds.

    They can’t come together to expel LaMonica McIver for assaulting federal law enforcement.

    They can’t come together to censure Ilhan Omar for supporting political violence.

    They can’t come together to censure Stacey Plaskett for coordinating with Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing.”

  2. Liars and frauds, today’s Democrat party.

    “@SenJohnKennedy BLASTS Democrats for completely lying about the Drug Boat Briefing.

    “We must have been in a different briefing or one of us is lying.

    Rubio…Hegseth…chairman Cain…lawyers…They were very eloquent and thorough.

    Here’s what I took away from it. These military strikes against narco terrorists carrying drugs & boats to the US are LEGAL, EFFECTIVE, traffic is WAY DOWN, the intelligence on which they are based is EXQUISITELY good.

    There are checks and balances at EVERY stage to make sure that innocent people who just happen to be in a boat are not hurt.

    “How can Democrats continue to LIE about this?”

  3. Of course he lies with impunity. He’s aware he’s before a feckless and impotent #USELESSGOP who won’t do a damned thing about it.

    Weakness has consequences.

    “Looks like Jack Smith is lying to Congress.

    There is no evidence any of the alleged classified documents were in the areas he just described. His prosecutors admitted last year they did not know whether any of the moved boxes contained the documents he claimed were classified.

    Trump and his team cooperated with the DOJ–prior to Smith’s appointment–even allowing Jay Bratt, who later would become the lead in the docs case, into Mar a Lago VOLUNTARILY in June 2022.

    The emails released yesterday further undermine what Smith is now saying under oath.”

    “Ed Department: Nearly 2,000 Minnesota ‘Ghost Students’ Fraudulently Received $12.5 Million”

    https://thefederalist.com/2025/12/16/ed-department-nearly-2000-minnesota-ghost-students-fraudulently-received-12-5-million/

    “In Minnesota, home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in the U.S. and the site of numerous fraud investigations, fraudsters received $12.5 million in student loan and education grant money, according to a letter Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

    The letter calls on Walz to resign, and states that a new fraud prevention system at the department has found over $1 billion in “attempted financial aid theft,” including by international fraud rings and artificial intelligence (AI) bots.”

  5. its simple; its against international law to bomb a boat outside a state of war. Even in wartime, there are rules including no double tap.

    Even if cocaine is visible, you can’t bomb it. If its in US waters, you still have to attempt to board and then only if necessary you can destroy.

    By destroying boats, there’s no way to assess if the intelligence was correct. And if one can board a tanker one can board another vessel. The onus is on the attacking party to prove cause, and without evidence, one can conclude its a war crime. The double tap of course is a war crime regardless.

  6. I’ve always been confused by food “stamps”. Congress and state legislature will micromanage every dime spent by the poor but will just write out million or billion dollar cheques to corporate America. But God forbid a single mom give her child a treat.

    Reminds me; when I lived in Iowa the bars used to accept food stamps in lieu of cash. They then used food stamps to pay staff or buy groceries for the kitchen. Btw, I lived in the most Republican county in Iowa.

    I’ve reached the conclusion the Trump admin is piling on Walz because he had the nerve to run against Trump. Nothing else explains why one of the best states in the Union us constantly being attacked.

  7. Walz needs to be put out of office. He should be wise enough to resign, but he isn’t. So should all those others who stood in the way of exposing the truth of all the fraud.

    Parents can certainly still give their children a treat for a birthday. There are cake mixes, sugar, flour etc. that can be bought. We were on food stamps for a short time, and I did not buy soft drinks or candy ever. We could not afford to do that. It is illegal to sell food stamps and always has been. Of course, it was, and no doubt is still done. That just means dad or mom got alcohol or whatever while their kids went without. By all means, we supposedly should look the other way. What nonsense.

    BTW, MN is not being attacked. The truth of what incompetent, crooked politicians allowed is being exposed. More nonsense.

  8. I watched the President’s speech. I was impressed he stayed on message. It sounded like a state of the union address moved up. Politics is an interesting business.

  9. Watched our President’s speech. Short to the point and while I’m not seeing prices going down quite so fast at the grocery store, our gas prices are definitely down. Our insurance rates in CO are some of the highest in the nation which someone really needs to get a handle on. But hey, I’m in a blue state and that makes it rough for conservatives ….
