“Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support!”
– Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok
“Call me crazy, but I don’t think killing narco terrorists who flood our country with illegal drugs is a losing political issue for President Trump.”
– CNN Commentator Scott Jennings
“The Democrats broke the American health care system. The reason your premiums are skyrocketing is because they have terrible policies. And one of them is subsidizing insurance companies…We were always preparing to work through that in a deliberative fashion through October, November, December. But ironically, the Democrats, because they’re shenanigans, took a lot of the time off the clock on that for us to do it.“
– Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
Schumer & Democrats Shutdown Accomplished NOTHING: What a scam. In order to try and extract some political benefit in the upcoming elections, almost EVERY Democrat went along with shutting down the federal government, forcing THOUSANDS to suffer for NOTHING!!!
A political failure. No benefits. No compromises. No messaging win that could be used in future campaigns.
The ONLY thing Schumer and the Democrats accomplished was to demonstrate how politically motivated and calculating the progressive left is.
No pain is great enough, no crisis big enough to avoid Democrats’ political games.
I sure hope voters remember!!!
“Affordable Care Act” – Obamacare Disaster: The Democrats jammed through their disastrous health care plan that was “supposed” to make health care affordable and broad-based.
The simple truth…. the Democrats’ plan that they had to “pass it to see what was inside of it” was a complete failure… no consensus, no compromise… just purely Democrats’ partisan political vote that ALSO failed.
They promised lower premiums & better coverage… instead, premiums skyrocketed by some 60% while millions lost their private insurance and doctors.
Democrats designed, built, and voted for this broken system… with NO Republican input or votes.
As Obamacare implodes, Republicans are committed to fixing it… restoring choice, lowering costs, and protecting care for those in need.
The Democrats’ subsidies to insurance companies MUST stop. Americans deserve a better way… options and lower costs where YOUR tax dollars aren’t used to pay insurance companies to artificially create a socialized medical system, which is sure to fail.

The Democrats Have Become a Cruel and Cynical Party
Thankfully, the longest government shutdown in history should soon end. After more than a dozen votes to re-open the government, Senate Democrats choreographed the end of their obstruction.
Thankfully, the longest government shutdown in history should soon end. After more than a dozen votes to re-open the government, Senate Democrats choreographed the end of their obstruction.
Don’t be fooled. This was not the Democrats seeing reason or choosing to compromise. They deliberately kept the government shutdown through the off-year elections to keep their base engaged. It was cruel and cynical.
Their extended shutdown meant more pain for government workers who were working without pay, more problems for millions of Americans on the SNAP food program, more difficulties for the air traffic control system and millions of Americans traveling.
Make no mistake: Americans’ lives were made more difficult because the Democrats refused to pass the House’s clean budget resolution for more than a month – and this was their plan all along.
Over 5,000 DEAD PEOPLE get SNAP, half a MILLION get food aid twice under same name: Ag Sec
“We now have a plan to fix it and we’re really, really excited about doing that for the American people.”
US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has revealed that her department has found that dead people have been receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as people receiving the benefits twice.
Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Rollins said that of the 29 states that complied and shared their SNAP data with the administration, her department has found that a “staggering” 5,000 dead people have been receiving the benefits, and 500,000 people were “getting benefits two times under the same name.”
Additionally, she said that 80 percent of those on SNAP in those states were able-bodied Americans, “meaning they can work. They don’t have small children at home, they’re not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, and they choose not to work, of course, because they’re getting significant benefits from the taxpayer.”
It’s not just the economy — this is how Democrats beat the GOP across the country
Affordability messaging proves more powerful than general economic stewardship arguments
The ballots are counted, the pundits are spinning, and the verdict is in: affordability isn’t just an issue — it’s the issue. Democrats understood that and they won. Big. Republicans, meanwhile, are facing challenges that look strikingly similar to those that cost Democrats so dearly just two years ago.
Tax cuts for the rich vs. affordability for all
Democrats didn’t win because they suddenly became masterful campaigners, or because their candidates were flawless. They won because they focused on what’s keeping Americans up at night— rising prices, shrinking paychecks and the anxiety that the American Dream is slipping further away. They promised to cap drug prices, rein in healthcare costs and make life a little less punishing for the middle class.
And crucially, Democrats ran unapologetically on taxing the rich — a message that resonated far beyond their base. For years, Republicans have viewed calls to raise taxes on the wealthy as an attack on success, a threat to the American ethos of upward mobility. But for many Americans, and for Democrats this cycle, it was about fairness. If you’re rich, you can afford to pay more. After all, the rich aren’t struggling — everyone else is. That sense of basic justice, not class warfare, is what made the message so powerful and popular.
College kids’ math skills worse than ever, California finds — blame our pass-the-buck public schools
What happens when a child is promoted, grade by grade, through America’s K-12 school system but can’t actually perform at grade level in reading, writing or math?
As the University of California at San Diego found, they get into college — and become someone else’s problem.
UC San Diego’s Senate-Administration Workgroup on Admissions released a startling report last week documenting a steep decline in college preparedness.
Between 2020 and 2025, it found, the number of freshmen with math skills below middle-school level “increased nearly thirtyfold” — with about one in eight of them unable to handle even the most basic high school math.
The university has had to add a new course devoted exclusively to teaching “elementary and middle school Common Core math subjects (grades 1-8)” — in addition to the remedial math classes it already had in place covering high school topics like algebra and geometry.
But by the time these kids arrived on San Diego’s campus, they had already been failed many times over.
UN Ambassador Waltz reveals Trump’s Middle East peace plan is ‘the only way forward’
Waltz plans to present a resolution to the UN Security Council on Gaza
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told the U.N. that President Trump’s historic Middle East peace plan is “the only way forward” as he negotiates a resolution that would codify the Trump administration’s Gaza deal in the international body in a way that is “fully consistent with an America First agenda.”
Fox News Digital spoke exclusively to Waltz after he convened partners and allies to discuss the United States’ intention to present a resolution to the U.N. Security Council on Gaza.
The resolution will endorse the Board of Peace, set parameters for Gaza’s transitional governance and launch the International Stabilization Force outlined in the president’s 20-point Gaza peace plan.
Russian spy ship detected just miles from Hawaiian coastline prompts US Coast Guard response
Coast Guard deploys aircraft, cutter to monitor Vishnya-class intelligence vessel near Oahu
The U.S. Coast Guard announced Thursday it detected a Russian military spy vessel operating near U.S. territorial waters Oct. 29, and personnel are continuing to monitor the ship.
Officials said the Vishnya-class intelligence ship was about 15 nautical miles south of Oahu, prompting a response by the Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules from Air Station Barbers Point and the Coast Guard Cutter William Hart.
The Coast Guard responded to the Russian Federation Navy Auxiliary General Intelligence ship, Kareliya, by conducting a safe and professional overflight and transiting near the vessel, according to a news release.
Acting in accordance with international law, the Coast Guard said personnel are monitoring the vessel’s activities near U.S. territorial waters to provide maritime security for U.S. vessels operating in the area.
Coast guardsmen will also monitor the vessel to support U.S. homeland defense efforts.
“The U.S. Coast Guard routinely monitors maritime activity around the Hawaiian Islands and throughout the Pacific to ensure the safety and security of U.S. waters,” Capt. Matthew Chong, chief of response for the Coast Guard Oceania District, wrote in a statement.
The City Leviathan: How Corruption Killed Capitalism
If you want to see what’s really killing American cities, don’t look to capitalism.
Look at corruption.
Look to Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York — the modern capitals of powerful regional machine politics, where the ruling class has perfected the art of turning public office into private income.
In Chicago, Alderman Ed Burke — once the city’s most powerful politician — was finally convicted on 13 counts of racketeering, bribery, and extortion after half a century of shaking down developers and taxpayers alike.
In Los Angeles, City Council members José Huizar and Mark Ridley-Thomas were sentenced for selling influence and public contracts to the highest bidder.
And in New York, former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos both fell in the last decade for corruption schemes so routine they might as well have been line items in the budget.
These aren’t isolated scandals.
They’re the system working exactly as designed.
Chicagoans Fume at Obama’s ‘Palace’ on Historic Land
Controversy over the Obama Presidential Center is boiling over again in Chicago, as residents and preservationists question why a former president would build what many view as an oversized monument on protected, historic parkland — concerns detailed extensively by the New York Post.
According to the Post, critics across the city are still stunned that Barack Obama’s $850 million center — derisively dubbed “The Obamalisk” by some locals quoted by the paper — replaced prized sections of Jackson Park, the landmark landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for the 1893 World’s Fair.
Construction began in 2021 and is expected to finish next spring.
Chicago architect Grahm Balkany, a self-described progressive liberal, told the Post that Obama “should not be building a palace for himself, a fortress in the middle of a public park,” calling the project contrary to the values Obama once embraced.
He added that many Chicagoans were reluctant to “speak truth to power” when the power belonged to Obama.
While some nearby residents offered mild support in interviews with the Post, many historians and architects remain outraged.
University of Chicago art historian W.J.T. Mitchell told the Post the 240-foot tower resembles “a cenotaph … a crusader fortress in brutalist style,” arguing its monumentality violates Olmsted’s democratic vision for public parks. Mitchell also described the “clear-cutting” of 1,000 century-old trees as an “environmental disaster.”
The Post notes the project faced skepticism from the start. Obama reportedly made Chicago compete with New York and Hawaii for the center, and the city ultimately offered 20 acres of Jackson Park under then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former White House chief of staff.
Democratic senator calls for ‘more effective leadership’ as Schumer faces mounting pressure
Chris Murphy says caucus needs hard conversation after Democrats break ranks on shutdown vote
Amid heated calls by some House Democrats and others in the party to remove Sen. Chuck Schumer from his longtime role as Senate Democratic leader, a top Democrat in the chamber is calling for “more effective leadership.”
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut told Fox News Digital that Schumer needs to lead a conversation to “stop having a group of members cross over and support Donald Trump’s agenda.”
Murphy was interviewed on Wednesday, two days after seven Senate Democrats and independent Sen. Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the party, bucked Senate Democratic leaders and voted with the majority Republicans to end the longest federal government shutdown in history.
Plenty of progressives and center-left Democrats have pilloried the deal to end the shutdown, which didn’t include the Democrats’ top priority, an agreement to extend expiring subsidies that make health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act, known as the ACA or Obamacare, more affordable to millions of Americans.
