Democrats’ Government Shutdown Continues: Democrat Leader Senator Chuck Schumer and his allies have made a political calculation that shutting down the federal government to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants and pass some additional spending bills is good politics?!?
I don’t get it… I’m not sure the American people will agree?!?
The Republicans have offered a “clean CR” (continuing resolution) that keeps government spending and priorities as they are. No increases, no cuts… just keep the government operating while Congress negotiates a new budget. Sounds reasonable.
The Democrats say no.
They want a backroom deal to fund some of their leftist priorities in exchange for the 7 Democrat votes needed to pass any continuing resolution. That’s right, because of the Senate rules the Democrats have to put up ONLY 7 votes, along with all the Republicans, to keep our government functioning.
But it’s all about politics for the Democrats. Billionaire liberals who hate Trump more than they care about America are willing to fund every and any anti-Trump effort across the country. Doesn’t matter if the policies are good or bad… if Trump supports them, the Democrats are a hard no.
Stopping Illegal Immigration – the Democrats are a NO.
Keeping boys out of girls’ locker rooms – the Democrats are a NO.
Stopping transgender mutilation of our children – the Democrats are a NO.
Stopping the attacks on law enforcement and funding the police – the Democrats are a NO.
Stop encouraging killing, violence, and retribution for differences of opinion – the Democrats are a NO.
Supporting common sense policies – the Democrats are a NO.
This will continue as long as America’s voters keep elected leftist Democrats who want to destroy our country as we know it. EVERY Democrat is voting with the left-wing leadership of their party. There are NO moderate, common sense Democrats willing to stand up to the AOC and Bernie Sanders of the progressive wing of the Democrat party.
Until voters let their voices be heard at the ballot box, America, we have a problem.
Putin’s Russia Still Terrorizing Its Neighbors: Once again, Putin lies and continues his terrorist bombing of civilian targets across Ukraine. He doesn’t care about Russian speaking Ukrainians any more than he cares about the elderly and children who are killed daily as Russia bombs schools, churches, and civilian targets in order to terrorize Ukraine.
Putin’s Russia violated the Budapest Agreement, where EVERYONE agreed to the existing borders.
Putin’s Russia attacked and occupied parts of Ukraine… and wants more.
Putin’s Russia doesn’t care what the United Nations or neighboring states think.
Putin’s Russia has openly committed war crimes and couldn’t care less what the world says.
Putin’s Russia ONLY understands strength. Peace through strength is the ONLY solution.
NATO and the United States need to support our friends in Ukraine. We have a responsibility to live up to our international agreements and obligations as the leader of the free world.
Ukraine is NOT asking for boots on the ground or handouts.
It’s a country rich in minerals, agriculture, and talent. They are willing to pay their own bills. They are just asking that we, their friends and allies who made commitments to support their independence in return for giving up their nuclear weapons, keep our word.
Either Ukraine inflicts unsustainable pain on Russia’s military-industrial complex and their economy forcing Russia out of Ukraine… or Russia respects the agreements they signed and their neighbors’ right to self-determination withdrawing their troops from Ukraine. Two straightforward options.
Putin or Russia’s leaders can end this war tomorrow. Russia doesn’t need any more land, it’s already the largest land mass country in the world. Russia doesn’t need Ukraine’s resources, it’s already one of the world riches countries regarding its oil, gas, and mineral reserves.
This is about Putin’s ego and legacy… which history will now record as a failed disaster under any circumstance.

Top Dem’s staggeringly out-of-touch comment about families struggling through government shutdown
A high-ranking Democrat appears to have admitted an inconvenient truth about the government shutdown that has officially entered its fourth week.
Massachusetts Representative Katherine Clark, who is the Minority Whip of the United States House of Representatives, admitted that she views families struggling during the shutdown as ‘leverage’ for her party to use in political games.
‘Shutdowns are terrible. And of course there will be families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of the few leverage times we have,’ Clark said.
Clark’s comments, made during an interview with Fox News Channel’s Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram last week, were rebuked on Tuesday by several congressional Republicans and also played in the White House press briefing room.
White House reporters were surprised to see the video pop up on the briefing screens, but it played throughout the day as they passed through.
Government enters longest full shutdown in US history with no end in sight
The federal government is now in its longest full shutdown ever, and Congress is not giving any signs that an end is in sight.
A full government shutdown occurs when the end of the fiscal year comes on Sept. 30 with none of Congress’ 12 single-subject appropriations bills passed by the House and Senate.
While both the House and Senate have passed three separate appropriations bills each, they have yet to sync up and pass the same version of any spending measure.
A partial government shutdown lasted 35 days under President Donald Trump’s first term but saw several critical departments — including the Department of War, the Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services — funded.
National debt surpasses $38 trillion milestone for first time in US history as spending surges
Milestone reached just two months after hitting $37T, with deficits projected to soar even higher
…and the Democrats want even more!!!
The U.S. national debt surpassed another historic milestone as it topped $38 trillion for the first time this week, as the federal government continues to rack up debt at a record-setting pace.
New data from the Treasury Department released on Wednesday showed that the gross national debt reached $38,019,813,354,700.26 as of Oct. 21.
The $38 trillion milestone comes a little over two months after the U.S. national debt reached $37 trillion for the first time in mid-August, and less than a year after the $36 trillion threshold was breached last December.
America’s debt has grown rapidly over the last decade as the population ages and enrollment in Social Security and Medicare rises. Another key driver of the surging debt is interest expenses incurred from servicing the federal debt, which have swelled due to higher interest rates put in place to curb inflation as well as the growth in the debt itself.
Republicans Must Take the No Kings Movement Seriously
Republicans’ initial reactions to the No Kings movement have been to ridicule and make fun of it. This is a serious mistake.
NEWT GINGRICH: The President Of Peace
There is no precedent for the outpouring of support for President Donald J. Trump and his effort to bring peace to the Middle East.
The two events (in one day) at Jerusalem and Sharm El-Sheikh were unimaginable until they happened.
It was clear President Trump has built personal relationships with the more than two dozen national leaders who joined him for photos. He has developed a working knowledge of the world that is astonishing.
The consistent references to peace in both Israel and Gaza represented a dramatic break with the 77-year struggle to survive that has characterized modern Israeli history.
Since it was re-established as a nation in May 1948, Israel was under siege. All its neighbors assaulted it in a coordinated effort to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. It fought a series of wars to survive. Israel faced continuous terrorist efforts to destroy the country and drive its people out of the region. Hamas’s founding pledge was that “not a single Jew will remain.”
Ted Cruz Throws Support Behind Plan To Keep Noncitizens From Voting
“This ‘honor system’ offers no meaningful safeguard against ineligible individuals registering to vote.”
Senator Ted Cruz has thrown his support behind a measure to prevent noncitizens from voting in American elections.
The Texas Republican on Tuesday wrote a comment letter along with Congressman Eli Crane in support of America First Legal Foundation’s petition to the Election Assistance Commission to require voters present documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections.
“Unfortunately, the current federal form falls short of that mandate,” the lawmakers write in the letter, a copy of which was exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire. “It relies solely on self-attestation of citizenship, allowing an applicant merely to check a box under penalty of perjury. This ‘honor system’ offers no meaningful safeguard against ineligible individuals registering to vote.”
“Requiring documentary proof of citizenship is a simple, common-sense reform. Just as Americans are asked to show identification for far less consequential activities—boarding an airplane, opening a bank account, or even attending certain events—it is entirely reasonable to require proof of citizenship to participate in our elections. This step would not burden eligible voters but would provide an essential check to ensure that only citizens are added to the voter rolls,” the letter continues.
NRSC: Michigan is ‘starting point’ for flipping Senate seats red in 2026
Trump-endorsed Mike Rogers leading the race in cash on hand with $2.7 million
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is eyeing a path to expand control of the upper chamber in 2026, and it runs directly through Michigan.
NRSC officials said during a Tuesday call with donors they view Michigan as a “starting point” for flipping seats in the Senate, noting the race to replace Sen. Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Twp., is looking much different than the state’s 2024 senate contest.
“Democrats are tied up in a messy primary in the state, which GOP party officials told donors gives [former Congressman Mike] Rogers a big advantage he didn’t have last cycle when he ran and narrowly lost, according to one attendee” who spoke with Axios.
“On the call, party officials touted that Rogers is running ahead of the generic Republican in public and private polling and has more cash on hand than he did at this point in 2023,” the news site reports.
Sen. Elisa Slotkin, D-Holly, prevailed over Rogers in 2024 by a scant 19,006 votes after facing a weak primary challenge from actor Hill Harper. The 2026 contest features three more evenly matched Democrats in Congresswoman Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Royal Oak, and former Wayne County health official Abdul El-Sayed.
Democrats spent $4 million on television ads last year in an attempt to paint Rogers, who owns a home in Florida, as a carpetbagger, and they’re now deploying the same playbook on themselves for the primary.
“Regardless of which of these Democrats wins their messy primary debate over who is the ‘truer Michigander,’ the fact is none of them will ever be the U.S. Senator for Michigan after Mike Rogers wins next November,” Joanna Rodriguez, spokeswoman for Senate Republicans, told Axios.
Doc Shows Garland, Wray, And Monaco All Over Corrupt ‘Arctic Frost’
‘This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels. My oversight will continue,’ Sen. Grassley wrote on X.
he fingerprints of top deep-staters in President Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice are all over the launch of the corrupt “Arctic Frost” investigation, according to a document just dropped by Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“Just received this doc frm DOJ Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland+ Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco+ FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost,” the Iowa Republican wrote Thursday afternoon on X.
“This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels. My oversight will continue,” Grassley added.
