It's A Cult: Kid At Trump Rally Wants 'Fani And Nikki In Jail'

This is really sick.

By Conover Kennard — March 3, 2024
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans accused former President Barack Obama of trying to indoctrinate children. Of course, they accused him of that without evidence.

A kid at twice-impeached four times indicted former President Donald Trump's rally told Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, Brian Glenn, that District Attorney Fani Willis and Trump's rival Nikki Haley should be imprisoned, even though his orange god is the only one facing charges.

"Let's put Fani and Nikki in jail," the kid said.

Hey RSBN.............good thing there isn't a fairness doctrine right..............I think you should be in jail.....better yet move to mother Russia.....Iran, North Korea,...........

House Republican Readies Discharge Petition To Thwart Speaker Johnson

Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick told reporters on Thursday he was preparing an effort to circumvent House Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on aid to Ukraine.

By Ed Scarce — March 3, 2024
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. In this case, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, has to get around the impediment known as Mike Johnson in order to secure much-needed military aid for Ukraine. Johnson has chosen not to schedule a vote because Trump told him not to (and Putin told Trump, probably).

The House version would provide $66 billion in military aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, of which $47.7 billion would go to Ukraine. A portion of that would include much-needed improved air defense systems, the kind that saves civilian lives, such as this woman and her three-month-old baby in Odesa.

'Killed in vast numbers': Horseshoe crabs under threat from overharvesting

They are some of the most spectacular images currently on display at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in London. Huge pictures of weird creatures with golden carapaces and multiple legs scuttling across the seabed now adorn the walls of the city’s Natural History Museum.

The award-winning photographs, taken by Laurent Ballesta, could be visions of extraterrestrial lifeforms. In fact, they are horseshoe crabs that evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and which are some of Earth’s oldest species. These living fossils thrive on the ocean floor where they root out worms, algae, and clams that they crush between their legs before eating.

The biological relationship between horseshoe crabs and Homo sapiens is distant. Yet these strange creatures have become a vitally important cog in modern life – for their bright blue blood is a critical component of tests to assess the safety of vaccines, insulin injections and many other medical interventions used by humans today.

'Huge tax breaks': private equity prepares for a boon from Congress

Billions in private equity and corporate taxes could be rolled back, along with what critics say is a sop for child tax credits

Some of largest and most profitable companies in the US are primed to save billions of dollars from a congressional tax deal that critics say gives “billions in tax credits to the biggest corporations while giving pennies to middle-class children and families”. And private equity funds could be among the deal’s biggest beneficiaries, a Guardian analysis suggests.

The tax cuts passed the House of Representatives at the end of January as part of an agreement that pairs handouts for businesses with a moderate expansion of the child tax credit. The Senate could vote on the bill over the coming weeks, and the White House has indicated that Joe Biden would sign it into law.

The deal, led by Democratic senator Ron Wyden and Republican congressman Jason Smith – the chairs of Congress’s tax-writing committees – would roll back a series of tax measures that were designed to partially offset the cost of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

In a statement to the Guardian, a Wyden spokesperson said: “The provision dealing with business interest was a Republican priority in negotiations, and it’s clear that it would become law in a Republican Congress without any matching benefit for working families. With the support of finance committee Democrats, Senator Wyden set a standard for this divided Congress that any tax cuts for corporations must be matched with an investment in children and families that the Joint Committee on Taxation scores as equal, and that’s why the bill includes a child tax credit expansion that helps 16 million children from low-income families get ahead.”

Smith’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Comer Is SHOCKED By Reporter Telling The Truth

A reporter actually said to James Comer that he has no evidence in the so-called Biden impeachment inquiry. They don't do that "truth" stuff on Newsmax!

By David Edwards — February 29, 2024
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) clashed with a reporter who was not buying his claim that President Joe Biden was involved in an "influence peddling" scheme.

As the president's son, Hunter, was giving a deposition behind closed doors on Wednesday, Comer spoke to reporters at the Capitol.

"We have evidence that Joe Biden met with the Chinese officials," Comer said as one reporter asked for proof that the current president helped a Chinese health care company.

'Hound them': Supreme Court faces flood of protests over Trump immunity case

By David Edwards
Published February 29, 2024 4:34 PM ET

An online movement aims to convince the U.S. Supreme Court to quickly deny Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity in the election subversion case against him.

The unorganized group is concerned that the high court may have helped Trump by taking up the case that is expected to delay his trial past the 2024 presidential election.

"I've written my feelings to the US Supreme Court on the Trump immunity case. Have you?" one person wrote on X.

Trump ally threatens to sink State of the Union to put pressure on Biden

By Travis Gettys
Published February 26, 2024 1:28 PM ET

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) suggested that House Republicans might disrupt the State of the Union address to pressure President Joe Biden to accept their legislative priorities.

The Donald Trump ally warned that congressional Republicans might rescind an invitation to address the joint session on March 7 as leverage to force Biden to accept border legislation favored by conservatives after a bipartisan bill failed in the U.S. Senate.

"We need every point of leverage, every single point, including spending, certainly including an address to the people from Congress," Perry said.

Rep. Nancy Mace Says She Trusts Russian Asset Over The DOJ, FBI And The Bidens

These people are a disgrace.

By Heather — February 24, 2024
Never mind that their star impeachment witness just blew up in their face and turned out to be a Russian intelligence asset, Republicans are going to continue with this farce and with playing the same Russia, Russia, Russia game they did after Barr covered up for Trump after the Mueller report was released.

Here's South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace with Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo following the news that Alexander Smirnov was just re-arrested on a new warrant for the exact same charges (and hopefully this time he'll remain in custody.)

MACE: Well, it's clear that Dan Goldman has lost his mind yet again, and the Oversight Committee, we've been doing this investigation, and the FBI told the Oversight Committee that this witness was credible and this witness was trustworthy. Even Jamie Raskin last year said in front of the entire world that he was told this witness was credible. And so this is just another day and another Russia hoax coming out.

I deleted my first rant.....her is my second ..........she is just like that traitor down in Florida, she and others in her worthless treasonous party trust Russians more than my country and she is getting paid by taxpayers ........
