In a recent outburst, Kamala Harris displayed a level of vitriol that has become all too familiar. During a heated discussion, she took aim at former President Trump, blaming him for pursuing a personal project while millions of Americans face hardship due to government shutdowns. “Are you f**king kidding me?” she exclaimed in what many found to be an inappropriate outburst. The irony is thick: Harris’s comments reflect a disconnect from the reality that Trump funded the ballroom entirely through private means. Her remarks were triggered by Trump’s announcement about building a new ballroom near the White House, intended to…

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) took a hard stance against the Democrats, pointing to the ongoing 29-day government shutdown as a direct consequence of their actions.

In a significant development, the Trump Administration is taking a stand against what it describes as the misuse of over $1 billion in federal Medicaid funds by California and other Democrat-led states. This move aligns with the administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and prioritizing American citizens over illegal immigrants. Medicaid funds are intended for American citizens and legal residents. However, using various loopholes, some sanctuary jurisdictions have managed to redirect these taxpayer dollars toward healthcare for illegal immigrants, which, according to federal law, should not occur. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uncovered this alarming trend, revealing that…
