    The Trump Card...

    It would appear they've already ruled on that. However, he can't pardon state convictions. "The power, which has historical roots in early English law,2 has been recognized by the Supreme Court as quite broad. In the 1886 case Ex parte Garland, the Court referred to the President’s authority to...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    So all the members who voted against the Johnson bill are "hardliners"? This sounds like more labeling, straight from "Rules for Radicals", which the Democrats have used generously this year, just the way Johnson was immediately labeled a right-wing extremist and a MAGA Mike. This proposal...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Speaker Johnson got his bill passed; govt shutdown avoided. "It passed 336 to 95, well over the two-thirds margin it needed to get the measure over the line. Just two Democrats voted against the bill, along with 93 Republicans" Pretty good for a right-wing extremist. Way to go, Maga Mike...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    It looks like Speaker Johnson has proposed a reasonable "laddered" CR that would keep the government open for business and "avert the possibility of a large omnibus spending bill being considered just before Christmas". Of course there are a few hard-liners in his party that insist on getting...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    One other dynamic is in play during these House proceedings that the media refuse to address or even recognize: Democrat party unity against anything the Republicans propose. With the slim majority the GOP holds, they must have nearly every one of their votes to pass anything. It only takes a...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    The Israel bill does not defund the IRS. It takes proposed additional, excessive funds that would've gone to the IRS and diverts them to funding Israel's defense. Aid to our only middle eastern ally should not be tied to aid for Ukraine; they're in no way related. It also avoids printing more...

    What's Wrong With the Republican Party?

    OK, so what's your definition of far left, aka liberal extremism? You asked us to provide our definition of MAGA (extremism) and we responded. We're just comparing opinions, so there's no fact checking involved - just personal perspectives, no AI stuff.

    Mass shooting du jour

    Coverage of these insane screeds also doesn't fit the narrative for the Trans and LGBTQ+ movement. This young woman was a homicidal maniac who thought she was a man. She had a hatred for young, white children and their perceived "white privilege" - a textbook example of insanity. This obsession...

    Mass shooting du jour

    Three pages (see link below) from the shooter's manifesto have been leaked to Steven Crowder on X, but there has been scant coverage by the mainstream media. At first the shocking pages were classified as "unconfirmed", but have since been authenticated by the NPD. It's obvious this girl was not...

    What's Wrong With the Republican Party?

    Imagine "The Horror". Anyway, after wasting more time than I intended on reading a couple of articles by the local press, it looks like the teachers and other forces from neighboring school districts came together against the new curriculum. It appears that it was just too conservative to suit...

    What's Wrong With the Republican Party?

    Another reference to Republican "extremism". Apparently all Republicans are now "MAGA Extremists" according to the Democrat party and the mainstream media. A glaring absence of specifics or details. What exactly was the "controversial, right-wing curriculum"? What were they teaching these kids...

    Loudon County, VA Public Schools

    This is the best result Loudoun County parents could have hoped for. It's probably the most liberal county in the entire state, so expecting a GOP takeover would've been unrealistic. Now maybe they can keep mentally disturbed boys out of the girls' bathrooms and off their sports teams.

    The Defining Issue of 2024

    How many people outside of OH are aware that their existing law already allows abortion up to 22 weeks? This vote wasn't a monumental victory over an implied abortion ban. The people of OH simply codified their current right to abortion into their state constitution, exactly the way the SCOTUS...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    The House has voted to censure Rashida Tlaib for her antisemitic rants and lies. Even 22 Democrats joined Republicans in this show of displeasure with her obnoxious, pro-terrorist behavior. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-votes-censure-rashida-tlaib-over-anti-israel-comments

    Palestinian Protest coming up in Washington

    On a related note, at what point do the protests and hate-filled speeches by Tlaib and radical organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace cross the line into incitement of violence? As if antisemitism wasn't bad enough already across the country and especially on college campuses, the ADL reports...

    Correct - it's a different photo, as intended.

    Palestinian Protest coming up in Washington

    Of course there's no mention of the 1st Amendment, because that's not the point; their 1A rights are a given. The point is who's doing the protesting, and it's not all muslims. To repeat, a lot of these protesters are far-left Democrats who sympathize with Tlaib, Omar and the rest of the Squad...

    Palestinian Protest coming up in Washington

    Spot on. They vote Democrat. We see the the pictures of these thousands of protesting people and need to realize they're not all Muslims. They're also far-left Democrats, and they're not only supporting terrorists, they're also threatening to boycott Biden next Nov for his support of Israel. If...

    The Trump Card...

    Intra-party squabbling has been around since the beginning of the Republic, and it's a definite possibility that there will be GOP factions that want to take Trump out. This will be especially likely when - not if - he gets convicted of a felony in the highly biased DC court. The way things are...

    The Trump Card...

    This is what political persecution looks like. The Republican base may not be aware of the exact numbers , but they're aware of the extreme disparity between the Trump indictments - all made by biased prosecutors in Democrat venues. The result is the runaway situation described in the post...
