Republican Senator Takes the Fight for Life to Congress

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is getting ready to bring the fight for life to the halls of Congress. Speculation is rising that he will propose to codify into law a twenty-week abortion ban with exceptions for rape, incest, and a threat to the mother's life. Abortion is becoming one of the most prominent issues on the ballot box in November. Although the measure is unlikely to make it to the floor while Democrats control the Senate, if Republicans sweep the November elections, it’s increasingly likely that the issue could come to a vote with the incoming Congress.

Classified Biden Files Found In Private Office

When it was discovered President Trump brought private and potentially classified files to Mar-a-Lago, the federal government launched an unprecedented raid on his home. At the time, President Biden questioned, “how anyone could be that irresponsible.” However, the U.S. Justice Department is now reviewing reports that classified documents have been found in President Biden’s personal office at a partially Chinese-funded liberal think-tank. Requesting equal treatment from the FBI, President Trump blasted Biden on Truth Social, saying, “When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?” Apparently, President Biden’s team is cooperating with the National Archives to return the files, but there has been no explanation on why this story was not made public when it was discovered two months ago, shortly before the midterm elections.

Biden’s Border Visit Falls Flat

President Biden visited the Southern Border over the weekend, arriving in El Paso, TX to see the border crisis firsthand. However, the president didn’t meet or see ANY migrants during his trip. For four hours, the migrant crisis seemingly disappeared as the president’s motorcade arrived at a small section of the border. Safe behind a large wall section, the president toured the area with Border Patrol Agents.  Republicans blasted the trip as a glorified photo-op that avoided the issue. Governor Greg Abbot of Texas even hand-delivered Biden a letter in which he states, “your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies.”  Read More

Tourist Town Turned Nightmare

Years ago, Asheville, NC, was a cozy tourist town in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. After years of Democrat rule, crime has skyrocketed, and the city's police force is on the brink of collapse. Far-Left Antifa “activists” and the Dems' anti-police rhetoric has taken a toll on the once-safe streets of Asheville. Since May 2020, the APD has lost more than 100 sworn officers, which has forced the department to stop responding in-person to certain 911 calls. The town has become a hub of Antifa activity, and without drastic action from Democrats, the chaos will undoubtedly continue. Read More

Border Chaos Continues Under Biden DHS 

Following a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Syracuse University,  the Department of Homeland Security was forced to admit that it has “no records” on the more than 350,000 illegal aliens released into the United States recently through the Alternatives to Detention program. While this negligence is certainly shocking to most, it is not surprising in the least. During his presidency, Biden’s DHS has seen an unprecedented rise in illegal border crossings. The continued mismanagement and failure to act has left many Americans to doubt that the current administration has any desire to remedy the situation.  Read More

GOP Revolt Continues as McCarthy Doubles Down

House Republicans are continuing their revolt against Congressman Kevin McCarthy in his bid for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. McCarthy could not get the 218 votes necessary to become Speaker of the House on Tuesday, and after three failed votes, his challengers are emboldened. Twenty Republican members of the Freedom Caucus are not backing down, claiming that Mr. McCarthy is too mainstream and power-hungry to continue as the GOP’s leader in the House of Representatives. McCarthy says he’s finished making concessions, confident he can win a war of attrition against his critics. Regardless of McCarthy holding out or dropping out, the GOP will have to get its act together if it wants to save face in front of the American public. Read More

SCOTUS Votes to Extend Title 42

The U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the continuation of the Title 42 health order, a Trump-era order that allowed border officers to return illegal migrants to their home country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ruling has been praised by numerous Republican officials, citing a brief victory in what has been a detrimental year for border security under the Biden Administration. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a tweet following the ruling, "Today, SCOTUS handed Texas and the USA a huge victory by allowing Title 42 to remain in place after Biden illegally tried to terminate this critical policy". While many are pleased with the outcome of the ruling, numerous Republicans are demanding the passage of more legislation that will allow for a more long-term solution to border security.  Read More

Biden’s Use of Marines in National Address Under Increased Fire

House Republicans addressed their concerns about President Biden's use of Marines in the background of his “Soul of the Nation” speech in Philidelphia through a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Lawmakers wrote that they were “gravely concerned” given that the speech was highly partisan and divisive, calling Trump supporters enemies of democracy. The letter requested Secretary Austin respond to questions about his prior knowledge of the address and the Marine Corps’ involvement. Read More

Karine Jean-Pierre Under Fire After Lies About Southern Border

During a press conference Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the claim that the southern border was not “open.” In addition to this statement, the White House Official found it necessary to put forward that those who claim otherwise are guilty of spreading “misinformation”. The Biden administration has been under fire recently for their mishandling of the border crisis and the allowance of unprecedented amounts of unvetted and illegal aliens across the border. These Jean-Pierre comments come in the wake of the upcoming expiration of Title 42, a public health rule passed in March of 2020 that, when it expires, officials predict will lead to an additional 9,000 - 15,000 new migrants a day.During a press conference Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the claim that the southern border was not “open.” In addition to this statement, the White House Official found it necessary to put forward that those who claim otherwise are guilty of spreading “misinformation”.

Will Schumer Keep His Promises?

In July, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a compromise with  Joe Manchin (D-WV) to secure his support for President Biden’s misleadingly titled “Inflation Reduction Act,” sparking rage from progressives. Democrats were angered by the backroom dealings of their party bosses and discouraged that politicking took priority over radical and uninformed environmental policy. They are now begging Schumer to backtrack his promise to Manchin to include “permitting reform” in an upcoming continuation package to fund the government. Read More
