Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott effectively told Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to go away after she complained that the state bordering her city was flooding it with illegal immigrants. The exchange is taking place as critics and many pundits have claimed that the policies of Democratic President Biden have resulted in the unprecedented border crisis. It has resulted in hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens flooding the Southern Border States for most of Biden’s tenure. Bowser was accused of being a flip-flopper and wrecked on Fox News, too!

Former Mayor Jasiel F. Correia II is now in jail, according to the Bureau of Prisons. As an inmate of a federal prison in Berlin, New Hampshire, he is serving his six-year sentence for fraud and corruption. Jasiel F. Correia reported to the federal prison facility in Berlin after getting his GPS monitor removed by the probation department. Initially due to report to prison in early December, Correia asked for and received several delays – first on the grounds that he was allowed to help run his in-laws’ restaurant during the holiday season. Then, there were several other delays due…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) revealed in regulatory filings that her husband, Paul Pelosi, sold millions of shares of chipmaker Nvidia at a loss a day before the Senate passed a multibillion-dollar bill. The bill was designed in part to boost U.S. chip manufacturing and it sent the shares of Nvidia skyrocketing. Paul Pelosi sold 25,000 shares of Nvidia at $165.05 each, valued at $4.1 million, according to the filing. He suffered a loss of $341,365 in the transaction. He also missed a big payday, as Nvidia shares have since jumped 7.8 percent to $177.90. The sale occurs a month…
Sen. Joe Manchin and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have reached an agreement on a tax, energy and climate bill, ending a stalemate on legislation long sought by Democrats to enact key parts of President Joe Biden’s agenda. The plan, announced by both Democrats, would generate about $739 billion in revenue, spend $433 billion and cut deficits by $300 billion over a decade. That’s actually still much smaller than the Biden administration’s plans before meeting repeated opposition from Manchin. The revenue would be derived from a 15% minimum corporate tax, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug price reductions, and to strengthen tax…
President Joe Biden is claiming economic success in spite of the second straight quarter of contraction in economic growth in the United States. The first estimate of the nation’s gross domestic product by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) was worse than the expected 0.5% expansion, FXStreet noted. The U.S. economy contracted at an annualized rate of 0.9. Economists typically define a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth. Despite this, President Biden claimed in a statement that the contraction was not surprising and that the economy was headed in the right direction. “Coming off of last year’s…
A U.S. appeals court ruled that a Libyan man’s 22-year imprisonment sentence is lenient. A Libyan man, known as Ahmed Abu Khatallah, was sentenced to 22 years’ imprisonment for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack on U.S. intelligence and diplomatic facilities, during a trial in 2018. Khatallah appealed his conviction, and the government cross-appealed it. This week the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the government and reversed the original 22-year sentence, suggesting 30 years to life in prison. “Khatallah’s sentence is substantively unreasonably low in light of the gravity of his crimes of terrorism,” reads the court’s…
A former U.S. congressional candidate and Louisiana state senator, Karen Carter Peterson, received campaign funds from the Black Lives Matter PAC through the 2022 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets financial records. OpenSecrets is the nation’s premier research group that track money in U.S. politics and publishes data on campaign contributions to Congress as well as its effect on elections and public policy. Peterson who served as the chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party from 2012 to 2020 recently faced wire fraud charges in federal court. Peterson resigned as a state senator in April, alleging gambling and mental health issues. She…
The Biden administration plans to offer some illegal immigrants a temporary ID card that can possibly be used to travel on domestic airlines. The program, called the “ICE Secure Docket Card Program,” is funded with $10 million for the program in the Biden administration’s FY 2023 appropriations bill, which reads, “$10,000,000 for the ICE Secure Docket Card Program to allow non-citizens access to immigration records and documents.” The card will include several details such as name, nationality and a QR code. The card will apparently be offered to illegal immigrants pending a final decision on their status, two government sources…
One student experienced an “unpleasant reaction” to her prize-winning chair that was designed to stop the “manspreading.” If you’ve ever taken a crowded trains, tube, or bus journey, you’ve probably experienced – or at least been witness to – an incident of manspreading. Defined by Oxford Dictionaries as “the practice whereby a man, especially one traveling on public transport, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats,” manspreading has become a common turn of phrase among frustrated commuters. This is what prompted a so-called designer to…
The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, deplored the fact that “women are getting pregnant every day in America,” pointing to the desire of lawmakers to codify Roe v. Wade. During her speech filled with such obvious logic, the vice president also referred to those who get pregnant as “women,” apparently contradicting the White House’s message that men can get pregnant too, referencing the bizarre war on pronouns sparked by far left liberals. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this issue. WATCH KAMALA HARRIS POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS ON VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG_dceIlxcU…
Governor Ron DeSantis gave a victory lap at CPAC 2022, praising Florida as a “citadel of freedom” while portraying America as a nation under the threat of a new emerging problem: wokeness. In a speech lasting about 20 minutes at the Orlando conference at the time, DeSantis slammed the media, universities and corporations in discordant terms. They and others, he asserted, are tainted by a “new religion” of wokeness and classify conservatives as “second-class citizens.” WATCH DeSantis on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0Ba47MLw14&t=330s The belief is ripping at the “fabric” of society, DeSantis stated. It is, he added, a type of “cultural Marxism.”…
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas mocked the practice of sharing individual, sometimes made-up, pronouns. Addressing the annual Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, Cruz lashed out at “woke” college campuses and recalled an instance in a classroom where a student shared her pronouns. The summit has the purpose of offering leadership training and championing student activism. Its goal is to connect students together with political leaders such as Cruz, former President Donald Trump, Trump Jr., Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham, Rick Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis, congressman Matt Gaetz, Sen. Josh Hawley and several other notable “right wingers,”…
A man attempted to stab a Republican candidate for governor of New York, Congressman Lee Zeldin, faced felony arrest, and was released just hours after that. WATCH THE VIDEO OF IT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDAr3vlrgD4 The attack happened at a campaign event in Perinton, New York, on July 21, 2022, according to Mytwintiers.com.

The national director of AMVETS, Joe Chenelly, stopped the attacker and he was placed in custody, the…
Following Senator Joe Manchin’s announcement that he will not vote for a climate change bill unless inflation slows next month, climate leaders are urging President Biden to declare climate change a national emergency. It seems the White House is seriously considering the move. A formal declaration will open up new opportunities for the executive branch to take unilateral action on climate change. This could include halting U.S. crude oil exports and stopping offshore drilling. Biden may even redirect military funding to build renewable energy projects. However, such creative use of the appropriate federal law would also unquestionably trigger lawsuits from…
Steve Bannon who previously served as a chief strategist for former President Donald Trump is on trial on July 18th for defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Bannon was charged in November with two counts of contempt of Congress after failing to appear for testimony before The House January 6 committee or provide requested documents in response to a subpoena. He has pleaded not guilty. If found guilty, Bannon faces a minimum sentence of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison on each count. The…
The husband of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Paul Pelosi, bought more than $1 million worth of stock in a computer chip company only weeks before a potential vote in Congress that would provide a massive subsidy to the industry. Mr. Pelosi bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of stock in Nvidia, which is a semiconductor company, according to a disclosure file filed by Pelosi’s office. He exercised 200 call options, or 20,000 shares, the disclosure shows. Reuters has been reporting that the Senate could vote on a bill containing billions of dollars in subsidies for the semiconductor…
President Joe Biden and others who appear to think it’s appropriate to explore the possibility of releasing a Russian arm dealer Viktor Bout from prison in exchange for any U.S. citizen detained by Russia – be it Brittney Griner, Paul Whelan, or someone else – “are delusional and naive,” said Rob Zachariasiewicz in his op-ed for USA Today on July 17th. Rob “Zach” Zachariasiewicz who made the statement was one of the Drug Enforcement agents behind the successful operation that ended in Bout’s arrest in 2008. Bout, known as the “Merchant of Death” who fueled conflicts around the world, was…
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that authorized abortion rights in the United States, many states have severely restricted or outright banned abortions. While some of these new bans have yet to be tested in court, abortion is now banned in as many as 10 states and many more are expected to follow, according to the New York Times. In addition, some Americans are concerned that the Supreme Court will overturn other reproductive health rights of Americans. Most notably, Clarence Thomas’ concurrence in the recent Supreme Court case indicated that he…
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia disputed that he halted negotiations on some items in the Democrats’ reconciliation legislation. Later he added that he “only wanted to see July’s inflation numbers before signing off on the green energy items in the spending bill.” Reports on the night of July 14th said Manchin had stated to Democratic leaders that he was unable to support the climate-related items in the Democrats’ reconciliation bill. On July 14th, Joe Manchin claimed in a radio interview that he told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he was concerned inflation did rise from May to June…
Donald Trump is heading back to Washington later this month for the first time since leaving office, Axios has learned. Why it matters: The planned visit by Trump on July 26 – to headline an event for the America First Policy Institute – occurs as the January 6 blockbuster committee hearings add to speculation that his hold on the Republican Party may be weakening. A new poll shows that nearly 50 percent of the party’s core voters want a new GOP presidential candidate in 2024, with a growing number pledging to abandon him if he wins. The House Select Committee…
In a tweet on July 10th, President Joe Biden put the blame on Republicans for the spike in gas prices, switching from the “Putin price hike” approach. Biden sought to place the blame on Republicans in order to build support for the midterm elections on November. “Republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas-price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, and hopefully, soon, lower your prescription drug costs,” Biden tweeted. “This is not right. And that’s why this election is going to be so darn important.” The Biden administration has repeatedly blamed the Russian…
Witness Cassidy Hutchinson has gone into hiding with her family and a security guard after she made new damning statements during the Jan. 6 hearings on former President Donald Trump, according to reports from The New York Times. Hutchinson, a former White House aide, in an explosive testimony during a live committee hearing on July 3, said Trump had sought to lead a crowd to the Capitol on Jan. 6 but was prevented from doing so by the Secret Service. The New York Times reported on July 10th that the committee rushed to have Hutchinson testify at the hearing as…
The newly revealed Justice Department records show the hidden censorship tactics of the Obama administration to silence writer Jim Bovard’s criticism of then-Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. A senior Justice Department official attempted to intimidate USA Today into ceasing publication of Bovard’s commentary, according to documents uncovered by a Freedom of Information Act request made by Bovard. In 2015, former Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon emailed USA Today editors and tried to intimidate them about why they had allowed Bovard to criticize Holder. “Mr. Bovard is not a columnist for the paper, and his take on Mr. Holder is…
House Republicans, furious that five of their own were subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 select committee, are weighing their own retaliatory plans if they regain the majority: issuing subpoenas to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats. Several rank-and-file Republicans, believed to be committee chairs and members of the party leadership, told CNN on July 8th that the Jan. 6 panel’s subpoenas to House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and four other Republicans set a new standard that they could ultimately opt to replicate in a potential GOP majority in the next Congress. Leading the list: Pelosi, whom Republicans have indicated…
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has banned the use of unmanned ballot boxes for the collection of ballots in a narrow decision issued back on July 8th. In a 4-3 ruling, the court said voters were not allowed to turn their ballots into unmanned drop boxes and said voters will not be allowed to give their ballots to others to drop off. The court stated that voters would have the option of handing in their ballots in person or mailing them. In addition, drop boxes would not be used in the August primary or general election. “An absentee ballot must be…
