House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered a blunt assessment of the 119th Congress this week, revealing that House Republicans have passed roughly 1,000 measures, and nearly 700 of them are still sitting in the Senate hopper while the chamber under Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has failed to move them. Johnson’s comments come in the wake of the midterm bloodbath that cost Republicans control of the Senate (Democrats flipped multiple seats) and handed the House to the left. With the lame-duck session underway and Democrats set to take the gavel in January 2027, the Speaker made clear the bottleneck is not in the House. Read the rest of the story, link in the comments.

A Free Press reporter asks New Yorkers if socialism is good for America. They all say yes. Then she brings out Daniel Di Martino, who fled Venezuela, and they get a firsthand horror story they weren’t ready for. NEW YORKER: “I think socialism is actually really good for society.” DI MARTINO: “Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?” NEW YORKER: “Just because it didn’t work out so well in other parts of the world doesn’t mean it won’t work out well for New York.” Di Martino’s family lived through the promises these voters are buying. DI MARTINO: “My family went from making $2,000 a month 20 years ago to $100 a month in 2016. That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free.” “We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water.” Asked if they support “government grocery stores,” the answer is just as confident. NEW YORKER: “Of course I do.” So Di Martino explains what grocery shopping looked like under socialism. DI MARTINO: “There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. It was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.” NEW YORKER: “What happened in Venezuela isn’t going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.” A man describes lines stretching for blocks just to buy chicken and toilet paper, and a Mamdani voter waves it away. Because THIS time, they’re sure it will work. REPORTER: “You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.” DI MARTINO: “The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn’t.” NEW YORKER: “I had no idea. I did not know.” DI MARTINO: “Government rent control. It’s going to stop people from renting apartments because they’re not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent.” NEW YORKER: “That’s a good point. I agree with that. Okay. I understand more about socialism now for sure.” Socialism always sounds good to people who’ve never had to live under it. Those who have never want to live under it again.

🚨 TYRUS NAILED IT: Leftist podcasters are still laughing at Charlie Kirk, and Tyrus explained exactly what that means. "One of the greatest compliments to your life's work is that your enemies are still fighting you after you're gone." Every cheap shot sends another person looking up who Charlie was. They can't stop talking about him. That's how you know he won.

A year ago I wrote to the Trump Administration this warning about the color revolution. This is even more important today. "You need to lock these people up. The organisers such as Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Schiff, Sullivan. The financiers such as Soros and Hoffman. The intermediaries such as Goodlander. The foot soldiers such as the media and CIA operatives. You have an army of lawyers. Find a way. Or the color revolution will succeed and your government will be overthrown."

A plurality of midterm likely voters said that Trump puts Israel's interests above America's interests.

Should I keep going?

FLASHBACK: WOMAN SET POTENTIAL ICE FACILITY ABLAZE ON CAMERA Dara S. O’Connor got two years in prison and was ordered to pay $43,612 for damages after pleading guilty to possessing two destructive devices allegedly used to attempt destroying a Kansas City-area warehouse on property ICE wanted to use for detained illegal aliens. News agencies at the scene were reporting that the real estate transaction DID NOT go through when they recorded O’Connor throwing two “Molotov cocktails” at the building. She then ignited the flammable liquid and attempted to spread the fire using a bottle of accelerant.

Miller, don't get too comfortable with your new title. Part of the benefits package for your promotion is accountability for all the pain you have caused.

Reminder that President Trump non-stop urged the RINOs in the Senate to eliminate the filibuster and pass the Save America Act. John Thune and his pals refused. Trump was fighting for us while the Republican Senate leadership were betraying us. The Save America Act assuredly would have helped Republicans across all states, even if not a single cure-all for every ill. It would have been a major insurance policy to help us out. Trump warned that the Dems would not hesitate to abolish the filibuster, which is exactly what they plan to do. Because Democrats actually play to win.

Good riddance. Few people have done more to undermine U.S. DOJ’s civil rights legacy than Harmeet Dhillon — undermining free and fair elections, subverting anti-discrimination laws, and targeting marginalized communities. We stopped her at every turn and we’ll continue to fight for equality for all.
