According to a recent poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov, Republican Representative for California Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) popularity has risen as he concludes his first whole week in the position of Speaker of the House. McCarthy had a popularity rating of 27% among all voters in the United States before the midterm elections in November. Now, the same percentage of Americans who felt this way about then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the run-up to the midterms also feel this way about McCarthy: 36%. In addition, a sizable majority of Republican voters (59%) think McCarthy is doing a good…

On Thursday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken requesting papers connected to the withdrawal once again. He noted that his previous requests had gone unanswered for almost a year. McCaul said in a statement that the Biden administration’s refusal to answer…
The Supreme Court has decided to hear an appeal from a former postal worker who was fired because his religious beliefs prevented him from working on Sundays. In a statement sent to The Daily Wire, Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel for First Liberty, one of the businesses defending Groff, said, “It is unconstitutional for employers to discriminate against employees based on religion.” “The Supreme Court should revisit a judgment from the 1980s that gives more weight to the rights of businesses and the state than those of workers who want to exercise their religious beliefs,” said one advocate.…
According to Biden, the records were reportedly ‘locked in a garage’ at the Delaware residence. When asked if classified materials found in President Biden’s garage in Wilmington, Delaware, would be shared, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sidestepped the topic. During a news conference on Thursday, Jean-Pierre made these remarks in response to questions about the confidential papers directed at the press secretary. Fox News’ Peter Doocy wanted to know, “When will the White House provide a log of visits to the Wilmington House?” “What we accomplished in this White House must not be forgotten. We reinstated a comprehensive White…
Visitor records for President Joe Biden’s Delaware home, where a cache of secret documents was discovered in the garage, were withheld by the White House. In January of 2022, reporters from the New York Post inquired at a press conference whether the White House was planning to “reconsider” its decision not to reveal visitor log information from Trump’s Delaware mansions. Jen Psaki, the former press secretary for the White House, flatly refused to give the records to the public. “In an office, many presidents find time to return to their residence. “We also have gone further than the last administration…
On Wednesday, several sheriff’s agencies in Illinois stated they would not implement the new gun law enacted this week by Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker. Several types of rapid-fire rifles, handguns, 50-caliber firearms, and various accessories are instantly prohibited by law. Pritzker signed the “Protect Illinois Communities Act” into law earlier this week at a ceremony at the State Capitol in Springfield, hours after House Democrats secured final approval and less than a day after Senate Democrats passed the plan. The local news reported that Pritzker declared his plan to sign the measure that evening so that it would take effect…
Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House, has accused Republicans of pursuing an “extreme MAGA Republican agenda” with their newfound majority. New York Democrat and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted the “extreme MAGA Republican right-wing agenda” of Republicans for trying to pass a law mandating medical treatment for babies born alive after botched abortions. At his weekly news conference on Thursday, the Democratic leader denounced a supposed Republican intention to “impose a countrywide ban on abortion.” The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and a resolution condemning violence against crisis pregnancy centers and pro-life groups were put to the…
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that there is no “demonstrable proof” that President Joe Biden “was involved in his son’s business dealings.” Put: that is not the case. The GOP has been using a voicemail Joe Biden left for his son Hunter in which he discusses doing business with a Chinese energy company. There have been rumors that Joe Biden worked in the family company, and the GOP has referred to anonymous leakers. The Times pointed out on Wednesday that “Republicans have yet to establish that the older Mr. Biden was involved in his son’s business activities or…
On Thursday, the suspect in the shooting deaths of four University of Idaho students was back in court, having renounced his right to a speedy preliminary hearing and promising through his attorney to fight the prosecution’s case.

While challenges to a New York law prohibiting concealed carry of weapons make their way through the courts, the Supreme Court allowed the ban to remain in effect. In response to an urgent request by the plaintiffs, the Court denied their motion to stay the statute. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, issued a statement explaining the Court’s decision and noting that the case’s viability was not in doubt. Alito stated that the Court’s refusal today was not an expression of an opinion on the case’s merits but rather a reflection of respect for the Second Circuit’s procedures…
According to a report, an additional million people may lose their lives to hunger due to the quick increase in fertilizer prices caused by the Ukraine conflict. Based on their findings, experts from the Universities of Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and Rutgers University have concluded that rising global costs for fertilizer might cause the deaths of an additional million people. As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, there has been a severe problem in the global supply chain for both grains and fertilizers, raising concerns that many fragile nations might be driven to the brink…
It has successfully secured the support of notable Republicans like Tom Emmer and Jim Jordan. The “silent assassin” of the American ideal is spending billions annually to enforce restrictions nobody asked for. The great majority of Republican House members agree with this method of deficit reduction. In light of the Republicans’ newfound power in the House, the party’s decades-long effort to enact the REINS Act (Reviewing Existing Regulations in Need of Scrutiny Act) will be revisited. “When you think about all the issues that we’re having as a nation, from our national security concerns to hyperinflation, the one that no…
When asked if they were investigating claims that gas stoves release hazardous pollutants, an official from a U.S. agency said, “Any possibility is on the table.” Several members of Congress have expressed concern that Americans will be “paying greater energy expenses” if the Biden administration follows through on rumors that it is considering a ban on gas stoves. Many members of Congress from both parties have spoken out against the proposal. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is exploring action due to growing concerns about the potential for gas stoves to pollute indoor air. Because their emissions may create…
Wednesday, the White House sought to stave off a fight with reporters over documents discovered in Vice President Joe Biden’s private office. “Ed, this is unnecessary. We are an efficient unit. During Wednesday’s daily briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre remarked, “We don’t need to have this type of conflict” in response to questions from reporter Ed O’Keefe. About the secret papers discovered in the former president’s office, Jean-Pierre had nothing fresh to share with the media. It’s being looked at this second. I won’t go into detail because it’s now being evaluated even as we speak. As for…
On Tuesday, the surviving Boston Marathon bomber filed a request in federal court contesting his death sentence. Three people were killed, and hundreds more were injured when a brother-and-sister bombing team detonated two devices at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.
