If Democrats wish to travel to El Salvador and meet with a foreign illegal MS-13 gang member, they can spend their own money to do so.

I will not approve a single dime of Oversight Committee taxpayer funds for use on the excursion Democrats have requested. //

No, no, I want a couple dozen of them to go. And take some Dem senators with them. While they're gone, bring every item on the GOP wish list to the floor and pass it.

President Joe Biden brought at least 8 million illegal immigrants into the United States through an assortment of semi-legal programs.

Now, President Donald Trump is seeking to do the will of the American people by deporting them, but the Democrats’ tooth-and-nail legal fight against him shows that keeping them in the country forever was always their plan. //

If the full array of amnesty hearings and appeals were to be given to all the millions of illegal immigrants Biden ushered in, it would take not decades but centuries to clear the backlog of cases.

Biden’s aides knew this when they opened the floodgates, and they knew it when they brought suit against Texas for securing its part of the US-Mexico border.

They knew this when they abolished “Remain in Mexico” and told millions of people to simply hang out until their court dates came up — or until the administration did away with their court dates altogether, leaving them as de facto permanent residents.

Polling shows that mass deportation is what the voters want. They propelled Trump into office to fulfill this promise, just as they did in 2016 before the Democrats made the border a mess again. //

The party’s plan is now laid bare: Bring in millions of people, let them work illegally, increase blue-state congressional power, draw on state and federal benefits, and expand government reach — all to prop up the lifestyle of the laptop class.

Meanwhile, keep the American working class hooked on cheap imported goods, fighting with undocumented workers for housing, health care, and jobs.

They’ve said it outright and repeatedly — proof that the “humanitarian concerns” they profess for illegal immigrants are hollow. //

Democrats took advantage of America’s legal system. Republicans must use every tool to right their wrongs.

Keep a close eye on the trajectory of these two stories. They haven’t met in the middle yet, but when they do, the old Democratic Party will be dead — and AOC will be its next leader.

David Hogg wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent a criminal referral to the DOJ, accusing James of mortgage fraud. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Director Bill Pulte says James appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms. He cited a property in Virginia, that she has allegedly claimed as her principal residence and a property in New York that she claimed as a four-unit structure...instead of a five, which Pulte says means she was able to get a different type and more favorable loan. //

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

9:59 PM · Apr 14, 2025. //

For comparison, Van Hollen never showed one-tenth this amount of energy when Rachel Morin, one of his constituents, was murdered by an illegal alien in 2023. Let a Salvadoran be sent back to El Salvador, though, and he's ready to board an international flight and beat down someone's door.

The senator wasn't the only one with that idea, though. As I type this, House Democrats are organizing a congressional delegation to go to the Central American nation. Oh yeah, and you get to pay for it. //

What exactly is the end goal here? Kilmar Abrego Garcia is from El Salvador. The United States has no mechanism by which to somehow return him to Maryland to resume his position as an illegal immigrant. Further, El Salvador's president has already said he won't facilitate that. Democrats going down there and shouting for the cameras isn't going to change that.

All of this is just so stupid. Where was this outrage when 13 American service members were murdered due to the Biden administration's rank incompetence and politicization of the Afghanistan withdrawal? Where was this outrage when Laken Riley was murdered in cold blood? But let an illegal immigrant be deported to his country of origin, and they are ready to invade El Salvador over it, and I'm not sure I mean that figuratively. //

So in El Salvador Bukele does something very simple, he denies entry to these clowns. Picture this, they fly down to El Salvador (actually the city of San Salvador) and get off the plane and go to customs and when they get there the customs official tells them that their entry is denied. What do they do then? Try to go through customs anyway and get arrested? Maybe Bukele puts them in the same prison as as Abrego Garcia?

It would make for terrific theater!

“I consider Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to be the leader of the Democratic Party," Kennedy declared.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a complaint with the Senate ethics subcommittee over Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., asserting that he was fundraising off his marathon floor speech last week, which the watchdog says is a violation of the chamber's ethics rules.

In a letter dated Tuesday to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, chaired by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., FACT said several solicitations were sent before, during and after Booker's speech that directly linked "official actions with solicitations for campaign contributions."

The ethics rules draw a clear line between official government business and campaign activity, and it is important these rules are enforced to prevent Congress from simply becoming a venue for campaigning," FACT wrote in their announcement.

Gracias laid out the whole thing, saying:

"So now you’re in the country with some quasi-legal status, you’re waiting for your court date, while you’re waiting for your court date — six years is the average by the way, it could be longer than that — you can fill out an asylum application, so without an interview, just an application … once that application is in, you can file another form, a 765 [form] to get work authorization, once you get that, you get a 766 which is the authorization and we automatically send you a Social Security card in the mail. No interview, that is the majority of the growth you see in these numbers. //

Adding to this grift is the fact that no identification verification process was in place, and roughly one-quarter of the illegal immigrants who were reviewed by DOGE were never fingerprinted by the Border Patrol. The result: around 1.3 million illegal immigrants now receive Medicaid paid for by you, the taxpayer, and voilà, as an illegal immigrant, you will be grateful enough to keep voting Democrat in perpetuity. //

It gets better. Even though several states, including Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia, and Ohio, purged thousands of non-citizens from their voting rolls before the election, some had, in fact, voted. Gracias stated:

We looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands are registered to vote in friendly states. And we looked even further in those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted. It was shocking to us. If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it … it is shockingly bad.

Included on those voter rolls were criminals and those who had names that matched ones on the federal Terror Watch List. But for Democrats, criminals, and terrorists voting is just collateral damage as long as they vote Democrat. //

On the Fox Big Weekend Show last night, Guy Benson pointed out the irony of this movement calling itself “hands off” when progressives and Dem led governments want nothing other than to keep their “hands on” virtually every aspect of our lives - education, the cars we drive, appliances we use, parental authority, etc etc. //

I still can’t figure out what everyone at the protests is so upset about? So basically their argument is to continue the status quo indefinitely, cut zero waste, and just keep driving this train off a cliff? And somehow Elon Musk (and all billionaires for that matter) are ruining their lives? Like the article above mentioned, what rights are being infringed upon?

Really the only people that showed up to these were hardcore Dem/Kamala voters. Unlike Trump gathering support in deep blue enclaves like the Bronx which was much more authentic.

“That just opened the door for me to start listening more to the other side, really. Because if you’re willing to lie to me and tell me that a man can become a woman, then I wonder what else could you be lying to me about?”

Kernen: “Did you call for Lloyd Austin’s resignation? Not only did we lose 13 service members, we left $70 billion worth of equipment that fell into the hands of the Taliban.”

“Couple of years later, he was out of pocket for two weeks and didn’t tell the White House. Did you ask for him to resign at this point?”

Coons: “The fact the Secretary of Defense was getting healthcare is fundamentally different from the Secretary of Defense sharing on an unsecured platform attack plans.”

Kernen: “The point is you’re going to complain about a splinter in one eye and ignore a 2x4 in the other eye.”

And the media was running anonymous stories claiming that Hegseth's colleagues thought he should resign; for instance, Trump allies are starting to notice Hegseth's growing pile of mistakes - POLITICO and Concerns about Hegseth’s judgment come roaring back after group chat scandal | CNN Politics.

Pete Hegseth has been targeted for destruction, but he was merely a participant in the chat group. This isn't new. It comes after another failed attempt to claim that Hegseth had briefed Elon Musk on top-secret war plans targeting China.... The question is: Why?

The answer to that, I think, lies in what Hegseth has done since taking the reins at the Pentagon. He has swiftly removed the most problematic military leaders and replaced them with people who support his agenda. He has largely uprooted the massive DEI infrastructure transplanted into the Pentagon during the Obama years and nurtured to maturity under Biden. He has made great strides in focusing the Pentagon on fighting and winning wars. I think the team he is building will begin to repair much of the damage done to the services, particularly the Navy. His willingness to work with DOGE ensures he is making enemies in the right places. As we've noted before, Hegseth is facing a lot of pushback from the status quo in the Department of Defense, and he's not backing down. //

There is no logical reason why Pete Hegseth should resign or be fired over the Signal fiasco, but there is a very logical reason why that blunder is being used to discredit him and try to have him removed. Hegseth is an existential challenge to the left's "long march" through the military. He's taking back ground the left fought hard to gain in turning the military into a giant petrie dish for social experimentation. The team he is putting together holds the promise of being transformative. That is why Pete Hegseth has become the target.

During the continuing resolution fight, the drum the Democrats kept beating was that Republicans wanted to gut Medicare - despite the fact that Joe Biden's administration oversaw years of cuts to Medicare Advantage, the plan increasingly chosen by the nation's seniors. Dems won't characterize cuts to Medicare Advantage as Medicare cuts, though, because what they're really trying to do is eliminate Medicare Advantage as a way to push "Medicare for All."

We know that the rambunctious mobs besieging Republican town halls are organized. It’s full of paid agitators, and this game could’ve gone on a bit longer if the far left didn’t overplay their hand. There is no way that Wyoming, which sent Liz Cheney packing, is this enraged about January 6. Cheney lost her primary to Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) by almost 40 points—the people of this state are decidedly in the ‘who cares’ column when it comes to this issue:

The dems are simply running their playbook when they are out of power. As a reminder, here are the 13 Rules for Radicals:

1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
2. "Never go outside the experience of your people."
3. "Whenever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy."
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to
   counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
8. "Keep the pressure on."
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a
    . constant pressure upon the opposition."
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside;
    this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

We should play Rules for Radicals bingo to expose the left.

A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus's origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump "conspiracy.". //

Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.

Indeed, that was the point.

Biden's role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the "old Joe Biden from Scranton" pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.

His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.

One, it was completely fallacious -- fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.

Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.

Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden's laptop was the work of "Russian disinformation." Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation. //

All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.

The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.

No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.

The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.

The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.

Sean, I don’t hate anybody, and that includes Sen. Schumer. He’s very smart. On the other hand, Chuck’s often wrong. He never makes the same mistake twice. He makes it five or six times just to be sure. But this time he got it right in supporting our efforts to keep government open. //

These people are deeply weird. For example, no honest person whose IQ is above his age doesn’t believe that biological sex doesn’t exist, but they do. That’s what I mean when I say they’re deeply weird. Our Republican secret plan for dealing with the Democrats is called Operation Let Them Speak...

The left loves to talk about how they are all about "trusting the science," but one of the fundamentals about science is this: When the data contradicts your hypothesis, you change your hypothesis. The Biden administration certainly didn't do this; they would rather hide inconvenient data.

Case in point: A recent Daily Caller exclusive reveals that the Biden administration buried an inconvenient liquid natural gas (LNG) export study that would have removed the primary reason for that administration's LNG export ban. //

The thumbnail? The Biden administration had a draft report in hand that contradicted their claims that halting LNG exports would result in more greenhouse gas emissions. The draft report indicated the opposite was true. So the Biden Department of Energy round-filed the report. //

The first layer of this stinker is in the deliberately deceptive practice. The administration made a claim to justify the damage the export ban was doing to domestic energy development; that claim was not only false, but the administration knew it was false, they had data in hand showing it was false, and they went ahead and implemented the ban anyway, in the name of "climate change."

The second layer of this stinker is that the Biden administration hid the results of a taxpayer-funded study and then lied to the American people about it.

And the final layer? They completely disregarded the standard Democrat shibboleth about "trusting the science," but then, Democrats have never been about the science - about the data. They are about the agenda, and this episode is just one more example of many.

A government is a necessary evil in a fallen world. It exists to establish rules to regulate the evil impulses of man, and take money from him in order to keep civilization ticking. It has a military that halts dangers that may threaten that civilization. It creates barriers for man in order to help that civilization flow smoothly.

The issue is that government is run by fallen individuals and needs to be checked and, from time to time, pruned with extreme prejudice. Democrats don't believe this to be true. They don't see it as "getting in a man's way," they see it as a tool to achieve greater heights, and if a little is good, then a lot has got to be better... despite clear historical evidence to the contrary.

What stops them from seeing logic about the negatives of big government — and I find this part incredibly ironic — is their own corruption, with which they use government to enrich themselves. They don't see the waste, fraud, and institutional abuse as an issue, they see it as part of the process to build their Utopia, but what they don't see is that their dehumanization of the people to build it is really just an attempt to mechanize human beings to create a Utopia for themselves. It's hard to see that when you're using it as an avenue to live large yourself.

And this should disqualify Democrats from office for years to come. Until they can see humanity as individuals, each with a story, a personality, and a life, they cannot be allowed to step foot into power, because this kind of thinking about humanity is, at its core, evil.

In referring to tax cuts/breaks for the so-called rich, unnamed business owners who he referred to as a "small group of greedy, wealthy people" who control the Republican Party, here's what Schumer said in a mocking tone:

"You know what their attitude is, 'I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?' I don't want to pay taxes.

[...]

They hate government. Government is a barrier to people. A barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it and we are not letting them do it. We are united.". //

So, just to recap, Schumer has not only ticked off just about every mover and shaker in his party (not to mention all the hacktivists), but now he's just confirmed what Republicans have been saying for decades about Democrats on the issue of taxes and business ownership and how they love to punish success.

You're doing just fine, Chuck. Keep right on talking, buddy.

When the media all comes out at the same time, pushing the same talking points—that’s collusion.”

He criticized the media’s portrayal of ActBlue’s fundraising success, suggesting that the notion of millions of small-dollar donations from everyday Democrats is an illusion designed to mask financial misconduct.

Johnson shared the previously reported story of an 80-year-old woman from Richmond, Virginia, who allegedly made over 22,000 donations, totaling nearly $800,000, despite living in a rent-controlled apartment and relying on income from Social Security. //

Comer further suggested that ActBlue’s system was deliberately designed to facilitate fraud, referencing Sen. Marco Rubio’s past concerns about the platform not requiring credit card verification (CCV) codes (the 3-digit security code on the back of every credit card]. He implied that this loophole made it easier for foreign entities, possibly from China or Iran, to funnel money into U.S. elections through ActBlue.

According to Comer, “If they [ActBlue] were innocent, they’d be going on TV, trashing me. They’d be calling me a conspiracy theorist. … But they’re not saying anything. … Their lawyers are leaving. And when the lawyers leave, that’s a pretty good sign that something bad is going on.” //

“And if ActBlue goes down—if people go to prison—if there are frog marches for ActBlue executives—the Democrat Party is finished.”

“They’ll have to rebuild from the ashes. If ActBlue collapses, the Democrats have no party left,” Johnson said.

To which Comer replied, “Exactly. ActBlue is their financial lifeline. Without it, it’s over.”. //
