Mitch McConnell, 81, carried on with his Wednesday evening plans with fellow Republican Sen. Jim Banks just hours after freezing up in public for the second time in the matter of a month. The episodes come amid growing concern over McConnell's health following multiple falls in recent years – including one that led to a concussion and broken ribs. The House Minority Leader made a series of calls to Senate allies following the latest troubling appearance, in an apparent effort to assure them of his health and drum up support as worries circulate over his age and fitness to continue serving.

Mitch "MultiUselessMotionLess" McConnell, with his RINO fetch dogs at his side, will say everything is fine. Chuck "Snake" Schumer is expected to keep him in power.

We need Mitch to hold on for awhile. Until the good people of Kentucky elect a Republican governor in November. Then Mitch can resign and the new governor can appoint his successor, a true conservative. Then, of course, the trick will be to get the Republican senate and their many RINOs to support electing a true conservative as their Leader. Problem is, the RINOs like Thune and Coryn are probably the replacements. Rand Paul or Ted Cruz would be a much better choice.

Move Mitch out of the leadership position. He can then be wheeled around like Mrs. Cryptkeeper from Cali to vote “aye” when needed until a replacement can be elected in his place.

fta: The latest has renewed calls for term limits in the House and Senate – even from those within the walls of Congress. The greatest failure of the Founding Fathers imo. They who knew human nature so well should have guessed that old evil men (and now women) would hold onto power until their dying breath and we the people would be saddled with evil demented and senile fools for representatives. Term limits for everyone in government!!

Re: #10 - I respectfully submit that it was the American people (citizen voters) who failed, not the Founders, by continuing to vote to return the bad eggs, like WV Sen. Robert Byrd, to office for 51 years, often due to their own self interest, as their 'guy' consistently had juicy earmarks for his constituents. The people could have demanded and obtained term limits via Constitutional Amendment, had the people really wanted such limits.

He looks significantly more frail than he did a few weeks ago when he froze like that for the first time (in public). He gave coherent answers to the next questions but he wouldn't answer the question about running for reelection. Hmm. Are Dr. Jill and Mrs. McConnell following the same advisors? Ramona (the Pest)

President Joe Biden has spent 40 percent of his time as president on personal trips away from the White House, according to data calculated by the Republican National Committee. The finding that Biden has spent 382 of his 957 days in the presidency away from the Oval Office was corroborated by the New York Post, using White House reports of Biden’s movements. “We have millions of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders. Violent crime is surging. Inflation is crushing hard-working Americans. Our enemies around the world are emboldened,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told the Post.

Joe and Jill Biden on Saturday reluctantly traveled to Live Oak, Florida to survey the damage from Hurricane Idalia. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis snubbed Biden and refused to meet up with him for his cheap photo-op. Hurricane Idalia hit Florida’s west coast earlier this week as a Category 3 storm. Biden showed up in Florida for a quick photo-op after major backlash for ignoring the Maui wildfires as he enjoyed back-to-back vacations. After shuffling around, delivering a divisive speech, and ‘surveying’ some damage from the hurricane, Joe Biden greeted a very small group of people in Live Oak.

Christopher Psaila accused Jayne, 52, of filing fraudulent refund requests with American Express and, through her hubby, Tom Girardi, bribing Secret Service Agent Robert Savage III to “weaponize” the agency and unjustly prosecute the designer over legitimate charges he billed her in 2015 and 2016, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for Central California.

Officials have been investigating Kevin Tomafsky since late 2022, the New Jersey Globe reported Saturday.

They are wrong about everything. The Russian collusion hoax remains in the hall of fame regarding institutional failures. The story never gained traction because there was no solid evidence. Every ‘bombshell’ died days after being outright debunked or was more than light on corroborating documentation. It soon took a life of its own as anti-Trump liberals became engulfed in conspiratorial paranoia. No one has ever been fired or apologized for perpetuating this journalistic fraud on the masses, a fake news story that’s believed by the core of liberal America. But given liberals’ penchant for self-righteousness and insufferable condescension, it’s not shocking that we’ll never get

Opposition to Rep. Kevin McCarthy becoming House Majority Leader was palpable on the right at the beginning of 2023. During a drawn-out fight, Rep. Chip Roy and other conservatives held up his promotion to secure a new rules package and guarantees surrounding investigations. Eventually, McCarthy secured the votes after making several concessions, and at that point, it was fair to wipe the slate clean. He deserved a chance to prove himself, and for the most part, he's been a fairly good leader who has kept his promises regarding investigations into the weaponization of government and the Biden family's corruption.

He founded the institution in 2011 with the purpose of negotiating the release of prisoners and hostages who were being held by hostile countries or organizations. The center said it had worked with over 80 families for that purpose. Richardson helped rescue individuals being held in North Korea, Iraq, Cuba, and Sudan, sometimes by bargaining with tyrannical leaders, such as Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Vice President Kamala Harris has "rabbit ears" for criticism, which are a source of frustration in President Biden's West Wing, according to a new book. According to journalist Franklin Foer's forthcoming book "The Last Politician," Harris' purported insecurity about how she was perceived led some colleagues to compare her to large-eared varmints. "Harris possessed what one of her colleagues described as ‘rabbit ears,’" Foer wrote. "Whenever there was a hint of criticism of her — either in the West Wing or in the press — she seemed instantly aware of it."

The number one problem Joe Biden faces going into his re-election bid is the economy. It stinks. A majority of Americans think it stinks. Almost every previous presidential election was based on the voter’s perspective on the economy. Ronald Reagan’s question still haunts all incumbents: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” The pandemic and the economic fallout from business closings, supply chain disruptions, and $5.2 trillion in government spending — which led to a painful spike in inflation — have made the Reagan question somewhat irrelevant. The economy has come roaring back to almost where Trump left it. But people’s perspective on the economy is still clouded.

But it’s not a comedy. It’s reality, and this joke of an administration is killing America. In one example, illegal migrants are streaming across the southern border in record numbers. So what’s Biden do? He sells off the border wall. Yes, the Biden administration is selling materials that were to be used to construct the border wall. Just this week, 30-foot structural tubes were sold to the highest bidder, according to Fox News. The price? Anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000.
