So says Punchbowl News’s Samantha Handler, who hears it from John Thune, who hears it from the holdouts in the GOP caucus. The reconciliation bill only needs 51 votes to pass, and Thune has 53 in his caucus, but wrangling them turned into a nightmare that will have consequences when the bill returns to the...
The Big Beautiful Bill is getting close to passage–maybe–and Elon Musk is very unhappy. And when Elon is unhappy, everybody knows it, including Donald Trump, who, in turn, is unhappy with Elon. And when these guys are unhappy, everybody else knows it immediately. Elon famously hates the Big Beautiful Bill because it blows up the...
Get ready for the Ayatollah’s revenge for the loss of his nuclear-weapons program! No, I’m not referring to the alleged Iranian sleeper cells that the Joe Biden Regency allowed into the US, and which Tom Homan is presently rounding up. The Iranians have an even bigger bombshell to drop on Donald Trump … Stormy Daniels....
There is nothing unique, unfortunately, about people offering the lives of their children to the gods. The Abrahamic religions were born out of the revelation from God that He does not demand such sacrifices–in fact, that they are wrong. Unfortunately, one of those religions–Islam, or at least the radical Islamist version of Islam–has reverted to...
I came across this story today and thought it was pretty funny. Then I looked around and discovered it was part of a trend. There have been quite a few stories in the last few weeks about Gen-Z office workers and how truly special they are. In San Francisco, some managers have decided to hire...
On the last day of what used to be Pride Month – you know, before most everyone regained both their intestinal fortitude and their sanity – I thought this little tidbit would be kind of an ironic way to sign the fading rainbow days away. Bid a less-than-fond adieu to the weary woke, as it...
Stephen Ireland was the co-founder a Surrey Pride, a pro LGBT group launched in 2018. He used that position to repeatedly attack J.K. Rowling as a hateful “TERF” over several years. Today, Ireland was convicted of raping a child and sentenced to 30 years in prison. His then-boyfriend was also convicted. A man has been...
Some jokes write themselves. The projection is off the charts. It’s clearly a strategy that an actual Stalinist party would use. — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) June 30, 2025 Coming from a political party that redefines words, airbrushes history, employs groups like Antifa to bully people, uses the security services to censor people, and works mightily...
There is civil war taking place within the Sinaloa drug cartel and the body count is piling up. This story was published today. Twenty bodies, several of them decapitated, were found on a highway bridge in a part of Mexico where factions of the Sinaloa drug cartel are fighting each other, authorities said Monday. Four...
It’s as if the voting British public expected RESULTS, or something. I mean, C’MON, man! Starmer’s only been Prime Minister, what? A year? Surely one can’t expect miracles, less mind promises to be kept in that little bit of time, even if the government had any intention of keeping whatever promises they made to begin...
Orwell was wrong. Well, not quite. He was just 40 years early in predicting that Great Britain would become a totalitarian regime that wipes away history, common sense, and freedom of thought. And even he could never have imagined the development of woke ideology, because cultural Marxism is even less sane than mere economic Marxism,...
… neither does anyone else. However, we certainly recall the panic p0rn that the Protection Racket Media ramped up on ‘Liberation Day,’ and for a couple of weeks afterward. When the markets dipped the first couple of days, the media rushed to predict not just utter ruin for investors, but also runaway inflation, goods shortages,...
Two weeks ago I wrote about the Antifa riot that took place outside a Portland ICE facility. Here’s a bit of what that looked like.    And later that night: Portland 06/15 pic.twitter.com/RBQTijm3Zc — Dixie (@OSiiNT) June 16, 2025 Three people were arrested but since then things haven’t calmed down. Last Tuesday there were more...
Sometimes those virtue-signaling, 500-pound brains at CNN are almost too crafty by half. To the point where they just about out-clever themselves, and dang if they haven’t done it again. It’s not like we don’t all know that CNN despises Trump and that CNN anchors and personalities think every illegal alien is another Maryland man...
DME stands for Durable Medical Equipment. It’s a class of medical gear which attracts a lot of fraud because Medicare agrees to pay 80% of the cost of any DME, such as a wheelchair, that is prescribed by a physician. The other factor that makes this kind of fraud appealing to criminals is that there...
