To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.
"Whether or not Rep. Kevin McCarthy gets the votes for House Speaker, the renegade conservatives fighting to unseat him have succeeded in exposing the corrupt legislative process and weak leadership that produced another massive spending bill loaded with liberal, special-interest projects like $3 million in taxpayer money for an “LGBTQ Museum.”
"One House conservative who has emerged as an articulate spokesman for the “not business as usual” Republicans is U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, who represents a stretch of Texas ranging from Austin to San Antonio. A former chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Roy is now a formidable force on his own speaking out on behalf of grassroots conservatives against the D.C. “swamp.”
"No congressman has been more forceful in decrying the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, recently signed into law by President Biden, that won passage with the help of 18 GOP senators and nine House members, and explaining how it happened.
"On the House floor [see video below] and in media interviews, Roy has exposed how legislators are given bloated bills resulting from negotiations between advocates for defense spending and legislative liberals as afait accompliwith no opportunity to debate the final bill nor offer amendments. He demands an end to this process:
“The American people are looking at this body and asking how we can pass $1.7 trillion bills that are unpaid for.". . .
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded the most annoying celebs of 2022 - just weeks after the release of their splashy, multimillion-dollar Netflix special that criticized the royal family.
"The couple - whose high-profile split from the royal family dominated headlines in 2020 - each snagged a spot on Ranker's recently released‘Celebrities You’re Sick of in 2022', with the Duchess of Sussex leading the list of figures readers have reportedly grown weary of.
"The dubious distinctions for the duo is markedly more pronounced than where they placed earlier in the year, when Markle was booked as low as the 20th spot, while her husband, faring slightly little better, was pegged at no. 23.
"Names to round out the top top ten this year included Oprah Winfrey - whose interview of the couple last year saw Markle claim royals had 'concern' over her sons' skin color - as well as Amber Heard, James Corden, Kim Kardashian and several other polarizing personalities.
"That said, in a list that, unlike the Sussexes, also included stars who saw their reputations come into question this year - such as Kanye West and Ellen DeGeneres - the Sussex squad was still featured the most prominently.". . .
At first she said she didn't realize who he was but then heard jail employees discussing him and another inmate told her: 'That's the guy who killed those college students.'
UK Daily Mail "Suspected Idahomurderer Bryan Kohberger spends his days ranting and singing lyrics from violent rap songs inside thePennsylvaniajail where he is being held.
"And several times the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students tried to expose himself to a female inmate who was held in a cell close to him.
"Now that inmate, 50-year-old Valerie Cipollina, has revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com how Kohberger taunted guards, saying they were too scared to go in his cell.
" 'I cut them, I'll cut you,' Kohberger yelled repeatedly, said Cipollina, who was held at the Monroe County Jail for six hours on a New Year's domestic violence charge.
" 'You come in here and I'll cut you,' Kohberger allegedly yelled at one guard. 'I'm going to pee on your face. Do what you want with me, I don't give a s**t.'". . .
The lady relating this story is bipolar; could she be making this up? She can do him a service if her story is false.
"He then screamed at the top of his lungs: 'Come in all of you. You scared of me? You should be scared of me.
" 'You're going to do nothing to me because I'm going to cut all of you up,' he allegedly ranted. 'Come into this cell and I'll show you I'm a creeper. Come in this cell and I'll cut you up too.' "
He added that the pair were pulled over twice during their trip as they passed through Indiana, once for speeding and the other for following a car ahead too closely.
Under Biden, says the group Help Save Maryland, “We are talking about over 6.5 million NEW illegal aliens operating in our country in 2023, on top of the 25-35 million illegals already hiding in plain sight!”
Send The Migrant Buses To The Catholic Bishops "Roman Catholic Governors Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are shipping illegal aliens from border states to other parts of the country. Why don’t they send them to the D.C. headquarters of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops?
The address is 3211 4th St NE Washington D.C., 20017.
"The Catholic Church has a “Join the Justice for Immigrants Campaign” that urges people to “Take action in solidarity with immigrants, migrants, refugees and people on the move.”
"Why not send the immigrants, migrants, and refugees to Catholic Churches or the homes of Catholic politicians?
"I’m amazed that this “solution” is not being discussed.
"Whether left-wing or right-wing, Catholics seem to be united in demanding that the church’s role in this on-going invasion be ignored.
"One exception is Brian Burch, president of Catholic Vote, who says, “American Catholics deserve to know the full extent of the U.S. government’s role in funding and coordinating with Catholic Church-affiliated agencies at the border, and what role these agencies played in the record surge of illegal immigrants over the past year.”
"He joined with Judicial Watch to file FOIA lawsuits to investigate the conduct of government and Catholic officials.". . .
. . ."Several months ago, Kohberger visited the Seven Sirens Brewing Company several times, harassing the women who worked there, owner Jordan Serulneck, 34, told NBC News.
"Kohberger, who usually sat alone at the bar “observing and watching,” stood out for his interactions with employees and patrons, Serulneck said.
"The brewery, which scans everyone’s IDs, has a system in which staff members can add notes or comments about a patron that will pop up on a screen whenever the ID is scanned again, Serulneck told the network.
“ 'Staff put in there, ‘Hey, this guy makes creepy comments, keep an eye on him. He’ll have two or three beers and then just get a little too comfortable,” he said.". . .
In one instance, Seruneck recalled he called an employee a “bitch” when she declined to answer his questions.
"Now that Democrats have released Trump’s tax returns, an unprecedented and vindictive move, they may regret it.
"A majority of voters want the tax returns of these Democrats to be released, according to a new poll.
"You know what they say about payback.". . .
While the survey found that most, 63 percent, approve of Democrat members of the House Ways and Means Committee releasing six years of Trump’s tax returns, most want the same to happen to the Democrats who made that happen.

Yet another Democrat scam backfires. Releasing Trump's tax returns shows his net worth declined while in office. Is there a single Democrat who could say the same? Clinton? Obama? Biden? Pelosi doubled her net worth.
Vice President Kamala Harris is requiring any senator or family member or guest of a senator wishing to take a photo with her at Tuesday’s swearing-in ceremony for the new Congress to have a negative coronavirus test taken within 24 hours of the picture, Breitbart News has learned.
"The U.S. Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Protocol Office blasted out a message on Thursday to all Senate offices noting that Harris’s office is requiring the coronavirus tests before taking photos with the vice president.
“ 'The Vice President’s office has requested that we send their standard COVID-19 protocol information to offices participating in the reenactment opportunity in the Old Senate Chamber. Please see their suggested process below,” the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Protocol Office said in the email obtained by Breitbart News. “We look forward to welcoming all Senators and their families for the reenactment opportunity on January 3rd.”
"The email forwarded a message sent from Grisella Martinez, the Director of Legislative Affairs in the Office of the Vice President, in which the senior Harris staffer relayed the coronavirus testing requirements.". . .
The oath: “I, ..., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
To cancel Santos must be to treat Biden the same on the same grounds; not a public word either says can be believed. TD
The American Spectator"The Democrats and the Fourth Estate have finally found, in congressman-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.), a Republican who isgenuinelyguilty of lying to the voters. Having thus discovered themselves — for once — in possession of the moral high ground, they have made the welkin ring with cries of outrage and calls for his resignation. However, if he ignores those calls, it may be difficult to stop him from being seated in the House and even harder to expel him once he takes office.
"But surely the Speaker of the House can simply refuse to administer the oath of office to Santos, right? Wrong. This was attempted in January of 1967, after Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.) was re-elected despite allegations that he had misappropriated funds as Chairman of the Education and Labor Committee. At the opening of the 90th Congress House Speaker John McCormack (D-Mass.) refused to swear Powell in and the House passed a resolution that denied him his seat while a bipartisan committee investigated the charges.
"Powell filed a federal lawsuit claiming that neither the Speaker of the House nor the House of Representatives as a body possessed the constitutional authority to deny him his seat. The District Court dismissed the case on the grounds that it had no jurisdiction to rule in the matter. Powell lost again on appeal. At length, the case was taken up by the Supreme Court, where Powell finally prevailed. Christopher DeLacy, co-chair of the Political Law Group at Holland & Knight, provides an accessible explanation of the Court’s ruling:". . .
The unrelenting abuse of President Trump by his enemies is obvious. It must be investigated, along with the horrific treatment of the J6 protesters, by the new GOP leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"Almost two years after the January 6, 2021, Washington D.C. protests that Democrats and the mainstream news media call an “insurrection,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) is still asking for the public’s help in identifying more people to arrest.
"Of the 964 individuals charged with crimes for their participation in the protests of January 6, 2021, “hundreds” are still in Washington D.C. prisons today.
"The conditions in these prisons are so horrific that 34 January 6th (J6) prisoners asked for a transfer to the military terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo). In their letter pleading for a transfer, the J6 prisoners said that Gitmo would provide what they are lacking in their D.C. prison, namely “nutritional meals, sunlight exposure, top notch medical care,” and respect for “religious requirements.”
"The harsh treatment of the J6 prisoners is in sharp contrast to the rioters who burned and looted in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, MN on May 25, 2020. These criminals destroyed over $2 billion worth of property, attacked countless police officers and participated in 574 violent riots throughout the country.
"Some of the worst violence occurred in Minneapolis, MN, where Floyd died. Rioters either partially or completely destroyed or burned 1,000 buildings. As a result of this violence, 520 misdemeanor citations were issued, but 95% were quickly dismissed. Only 17 individuals were charged with federal crimes related to either arson or rioting. ". . .
"The January 6 committee recently ended with a whimper after a year of pomp and circumstance. Despite much manipulation of information by its members, the committee’s report garnered all of about eight hours of headline news before quickly burning out.
"Why? Because there was almost nothing revealed that we didn’t already know in it, and no matter how much Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the rest insisted otherwise, they themselves never produced an ounce of evidence that Donald Trump orchestrated and was responsible for the Capitol breach.
"Still, there was something interesting shown in the testimony of now-infamous Ray Epps, the man who was caught on video multiple times telling people to enter the Capitol Building on January 6th. While the committee’s final report never mentions him, he apparently stated “I also orchestrated it” in relation to the events of that day.
"Yet, for some reason, Adam Kinzinger rushed to social media on Sunday morning to defend Epps."
. . ."Why is a congressman who served on the January 6 committee outright lying about something that is so obviously true? The videos of Epps are not new and have been circulating since 2021. He clearly and unambiguously incited the riot and the entry into the Capitol Building. In fact, when you watch the different clips of him, he seems to be very well rehearsed in what he’s saying and doing.
"That he was never arrested while grandmas who took selfies were thrown into solitary confinement has always been a major red flag. Given that, perhaps we should figure out why Kinzinger keeps defending the one man with the most evidence of incitement against him in relation to January 6th. Wasn’t the committee’s entire justification for existing to find out why the attack happened? Yet, they completely ignore the man who instigated it?
"None of that makes any sense unless you begin to think the worst, which is that the government was involved. But hey, I’m sitting here typing this, willing to hear a reasonable explanation for why Epps was ignored by the committee and has never been arrested. If Kinzinger has one, he’s welcome to share it because lying about what happened isn’t convincing anyone.". . . Much more on Twitter here
"But, as the year ends, let’s go through the referrals featured in the committee’s 154-page report — the report of a witch hunt from the witch hunters.
"Specifically, the committee recommended that prosecutors pursue four charges against Trump. They are:
Obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress.
Conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Inciting or assisting an insurrection.
And conspiracy to make a false statement.
"Let’s start with No. 1, “Obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress.”
"First of all, Trump did not obstruct anything. He addressed a completely peaceful rally on the White House Ellipse before the events at the Capitol. It was a rally where told the tens of thousands gathered together to go protest “peacefully and patriotically.”
There was not a single word said about “obstructing” an official proceeding of Congress.
"But if protesting the counting of the results of an election is obstruction, then there is the matter of Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the Jan. 6 Committee.
"Democrats, in fact, tried to stop — that would be obstruct — the certification of the Electoral College vote in 2000, 2004, and 2016. Which is to say, they were obstructing “an official proceeding of Congress.” Among those Democrats was Raskin himself, who tried to reject Electoral College votes to declare Trump the winner in 2016.". . .
"This ignominious list includes attention seekers, pretenders, hypocrites, frauds, and so many more.
"This list is in no particular order of importance.
Democrats
"Due to Biden's misgovernance, the U.S. has suffered high inflation, a crime an uncontrolled influx of illegal aliens, and the mass smuggling of illicit drugs. The Democrats then passed a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act, which had nothing to do with inflation, but amounted to a high-spending version of the green new deal. When they found time for it, they focused on Ukraine.
"The Democrats used compromised government agencies to target political opponents. Every rule that was once considered sacrosanct was and is being violated. They are attempting to turn the U.S. into a one-party socialist dictatorship.
"The Democrats from Nancy to AOC may feign empathy, but their sole focus is, was, and always be power and enrichment.". . .Read more...
Even the FBI’s illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago revealed nothing concerning allegations that the former president mishandled classified information. The release of these documents was the most anti-climactic unveiling of all time. It certainly might be the limpest anti-Trump attack.
Townhall "They have wanted these sensitive documents for years. Donald Trump’s tax returns have been viewed as the Holy Grail of scandal for the Left. It’s the smoking gun they’ve lusted for, and now they came into possession of these documents after a lengthy legal battle between Trump’s lawyers and House Democrats. The Supreme Court failed to intervene after multiple lower courts had ruled against the former president regarding keeping these files under seal.
"Spencer wrote about it first—and it was a nothing burger. It might have been an even bigger dud than the Russian collusion hoax. Trump’s tax returns from 2015-2020 showed what we all knew about the former president: he got poorer being president. The cost to his real estate and business empire is not a secret. Trump often joked that he could be doing something other than dealing with Democratic Party attacks and liberal media lies but wanted to save the country.
"The liberal obsession with Trump’s tax returns did lead to media leaks. The New York Times and other outlets obtained past returns, with the Times proceeding to write lengthy exposes that no one read. It also found no ties to Russia, which further torched the collusion delusion that engulfed progressive America.
"Now, with no evidence of felonious activity, the Times is pivoting to say that the latest trove of returns, the big reveal, showed that the former president’s business prowess isn’t what was advertised (via NYT):
