On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a massive $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill packed with Democrats’ climate wish-list items. Democrats passed the bill 233-188 on a mostly party-line vote. Much of the funding tied to actual transportation measures — $500 billion — is tied to green measures requiring states to set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions […] More
Federal workers are accusing powerful Democratic labor allies of gross sexual misconduct, ranging from the use of a company limo to visit male prostitutes to licking the ear of a subordinate.

For once, conservatives might want to believe Rep. Adam Schiff. The notoriously deceptive California Democrat is best known for his ability to lie with a straight face — about “Russia collusion,” about the “whistleblower” who sparked the impeachment of President Donald Trump, and much, much more. It’s safe to say that if Schiff announces what […] More

“See black senator’s emotional response to senator’s ‘token’ remark,” said the headline accompanying the video at CNN. That was their way of introducing the emotional and heartfelt comments from Sen.
