Amil Imani

Texas stands at a crossroads, and the 2026 U.S. Senate race is shaping up to be a seismic clash that will shake the Lone Star State to its core. On one side, we have Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General, a relentless champion of conservative values and a loyal ally of President Donald Trump. On the other hand, … Read more

Chris Pappas fool

MacDonald: Chris Pappas Wants More of Your Money

Steve MacDonald

Now that he is running for the US Senate, a position for which it is difficult to unseat even the most despicable liberal scold, Chris Pappas, has invited more scrutiny. As a member of Congress, he can and has done plenty of damage, but the size of the US House dilutes the potential harm. He’d … Read more

Trump Says He’ll Support Chris Sununu for US Senate

Steve MacDonald

The “will he run or won’t he” rumor mill just took an interesting turn. I’m referring to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He’s hinted at past Senate runs and even dipped a toe into the presidential race pool (the water was cold). Outsiders have been happy to speculate while those of us inside know … Read more

Gay Guy for US Senate!

Steve MacDonald

NBC Boston’s coverage of Congresscritter Chris ‘Norovirus’ Pappas’ US Senate run anouncement starts with, he’s Gay! He’s also gay! “He is the first openly gay man to represent the state in Congress and would be the first openly gay man in the Senate if he wins.” And his restaurant once killed a guy, after which … Read more

A Big French Kiss In The Senate Chamber

Ray Cardello

Corey Booker, also known as Spartacus for his off-the-wall and dramatic orations in Congress, again put himself in the spotlight this week. Since the disgraceful exit of Bob Menendez from the Senate, Booker is now the Senior Senator from New Jersey, and there may be no more enormous ego or greater narcissism in the American … Read more

I Got Yer ‘Advise And Consent’ Right Here!

Ian Underwood

Now that Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii is holding up all of Trump’s nominations , it seems appropriate to re-post a recommendation I made a while back: Okay, if this is the way things are going to go, here’s what I think Trump should do.  He should tell the Senate: “You just pick whoever you … Read more

“Let Him who is Without Sin Cast The First Stone” 

Ray Cardello

The Democrats have been filing their nails and sharpening their tongues to attack the credibility and character of every Trump nominee who has to run the gauntlet of a Senate Hearing. I watched Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren harass Robert Kennedy Jr. with her hair and fingers shaking in faux anger. It was not questioning. It was … Read more

These Hearings Are More Retribution Than Confirmation

Ray Cardello

The confirmation process for the president’s cabinet members, ambassadors, and principal officers of his administration is twofold. The president’s responsibility is to nominate people who are qualified for the job, align with the commander-in-chief’s vision, and are of high character. The Senate then performs its duty to advise and consent through committee hearings and a … Read more

Kamala Follows In the Footprints of Nixon and Pence

Ray Cardello

In the most significant act of Vice President Harris’s term, she declared Donald J. Trump the victor of the November election and the 47th President of the United States. Trump is the man who rose from political death, overcame a legal assault by Joe Biden’s Justice Department, and an all-out assault by a biased media … Read more

Trump’s Virtual Cabinet

Ian Underwood

Okay, if this is the way things are going to go, here’s what I think Trump should do.  He should tell the Senate:  “You just pick whoever you want for whatever positions require your consent.  I don’t even care who they are.  You can just pick names out of the phone book. “Because here’s what’s … Read more

I Like “US Senator Matt Gaetz” Better, Anyway

Steve MacDonald

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination to be Trump’s next Attorney General after almost everyone, but a few, made it clear they couldn’t vote to confirm him. I honestly thought this was a trick play a few days in and Gaetz was never the guy, especially after Trump named Rubio for Secretary of State. … Read more

Don’t Let Calls For Unity Fool You. The GOP Is Still At War

Mary Rooke

Republican South Dakota Sen. John Thune was elected Senate Majority Leader on Wednesday. While he appears to have agreed to work with President-elect Donald Trump to confirm his political and judicial nominations and further his agenda, the story is far from over. The reality is that inside the Republican Party, there is a war brewing, … Read more

America Is Back, Or Is It?

Richard Littlefield

On Tuesday, November 5th, We, The People of all (voting) ages and ethnicities, made history by joining the millions of early voters in our country and electing Donald J.

John Fetterman Dem PA

Fetterman Can Become A Serious Leader

Ray Cardello

Sometimes, heroes arise in the most unlikely manner. Who could have predicted that Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) would become the voice of reason in the Democrat ranks and show support for the Republican Immigration bill, HR-2, that has been locked in Chuck Schumer’s desk since it passed the House on May 13, 2023.

Border Bill So Good It Got Dumped On Sunday Night

Ray Cardello

Two time slots are used for any news story you want to bury. These slots are the black holes of news. Friday afternoon and Sunday night are when you drop news you don’t want anyone to see or hear. Chuck Schumer started teasing the text of his blockbuster border bill on Friday morning, but it did not become public until late Sunday night.
