omg 'THROW THEIR A*SES IN PRISON' - JD Vance Looks Into Cameras, Drops Major News
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Vice President JD Vance addressed a viral video showing a violent street brawl in downtown Cincinnati during a press conference in northeast Ohio on Monday. The event occurred while Vance was supporting President Donald Trump’s major tax cuts and budget legislation, known as the “one big, beautiful bill.” When asked about the incident, which has drawn widespread attention on social media, Vance described what he observed as “a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person” and expressed strong disapproval.
Vance stated that he hoped every individual involved in the violence would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He emphasized that law enforcement in Ohio must take such matters seriously to maintain public safety. Referring to a specific part of the video, Vance noted a grown man who appeared to sucker-punch a middle-aged woman, saying that in his view such an act should result in a lengthy prison sentence. He added that the individual was fortunate no one else intervened more forcefully at the scene.
The vice president connected the incident to broader concerns about lawlessness in major American cities. He asked how many people had hesitated to visit downtown areas like Akron, Canton, or Columbus for a meal due to safety worries stemming from local authorities allowing disorder to persist. Vance argued that families and children should be able to enjoy public spaces without fear of street violence. He concluded that the only way to address such violence is to prosecute and incarcerate those responsible.
Five individuals have already been charged in connection with the altercation, which took place around 3 a.m. on Saturday. Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge confirmed that additional arrests are expected. She described the event as a “fight” and said the department is continuing its investigation. According to public videos, the confrontation involved a crowd attacking individuals on the street, including one man who was stomped while on the ground and a woman who was knocked unconscious after attempting to intervene.
Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy reported speaking with one of the victims, identified as a single working mother named Holly. Ramaswamy said she told him that, aside from one police detective, no local or state officials had reached out to her following the attack. He described the situation as unconscionable, noting the lack of police presence in the area on a Friday night and the delay in medical response. Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police President Ken Kober stated that the victims sustained serious injuries and would require time to recover.
The incident has prompted renewed discussion about public safety, urban crime trends, and the responsibilities of local law enforcement. Vance’s remarks reflect ongoing national debates about maintaining order in American cities and ensuring that violent acts are met with swift and decisive legal consequences. Officials have not released the names of those charged, and the investigation remains active as authorities review additional evidence and witness statements.
Pete Hegseth Goes OFF on McConnell in WILD Hearing - "YOU HEARD ME
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth engaged in a heated exchange with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell during a Senate Appropriations hearing on Tuesday. The discussion centered on the Trump administration’s plans for the Pentagon’s budget request, which totals $1.5 trillion for fiscal year 2027, including $1.1 trillion in regular appropriations and $350 billion through reconciliation. McConnell questioned the approach, expressing concerns that key programs such as the Golden Dome missile defense system, munitions production, the F-35 fighter jet, and drone development could be at risk if placed in a reconciliation bill rather than annual appropriations.
McConnell stated that political realities may not always allow a party-line budget reconciliation and warned that excluding top priorities from regular appropriations could create significant risks. He emphasized the need for solid fiscal footing for these efforts. The Trump administration intends to use reconciliation, a process that allows passage with a simple majority, to advance certain defense funding without requiring 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. However, the process is limited by the Byrd Rule, which restricts provisions to those directly affecting federal spending or revenue.
The exchange also touched on broader foreign policy matters. McConnell criticized the administration for alienating longstanding U.S. allies, referencing tensions over NATO commitments and support for Ukraine. He noted that strained relationships with partners could limit U.S. deterrent power globally and serve the interests of adversaries. McConnell highlighted the $400 million in funding Congress approved for Ukraine earlier this year and called on the Pentagon to ensure the funds are released. He argued that when partners are capable, deterrence is stronger and risks to U.S. service members are lower.
Hegseth defended the administration’s approach, emphasizing the need to prioritize American interests and review alliances based on burden-sharing. The hearing occurred as McConnell prepares for retirement, with several pro-Trump candidates competing in the Republican primary to succeed him. The candidates include Rep. Andy Barr, former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and businessman Nate Morris. All have expressed strong support for President Trump’s agenda in a state that has overwhelmingly backed him in recent presidential elections.
The confrontation reflects ongoing tensions within the Republican Party over budget strategy, foreign policy priorities, and the direction of the Senate GOP conference. McConnell has been a vocal advocate for robust defense spending and international alliances, while the Trump administration has pushed for greater focus on domestic priorities and burden-sharing from allies. The hearing also highlighted divisions over the use of reconciliation for defense funding, with some Republicans expressing skepticism about relying on the process given potential changes in Senate control after the 2026 midterms.
The Pentagon budget request includes significant investments in modernization and readiness. Officials have stated that additional funding through reconciliation would allow for accelerated procurement in key areas. The administration has maintained that its approach aligns with fiscal responsibility and national security needs. McConnell has indicated that he will continue to advocate for traditional appropriations processes to ensure stability for critical programs. The exchange is expected to influence ongoing budget negotiations as lawmakers work to finalize defense funding measures.
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the hearing underscores the challenges facing Republican leadership in balancing party unity, executive priorities, and legislative procedure. The outcome of the West Virginia primary to replace McConnell will be closely watched for signals about the future direction of the Senate GOP. Both parties continue to monitor defense spending debates as part of larger fiscal and national security discussions in Congress.
ELECTION CALLED - Republican Senator Learns Fate After Backstabbing Trump
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Incumbent Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito has won reelection in the West Virginia Republican primary, securing her position as one of the state’s most prominent figures in Washington. The closely watched contest featured a packed field of candidates and highlighted divisions within the state’s GOP. Capito faced criticism from some party members for her vote against the SAVE America Act, a measure supported by President Donald Trump that would require proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and strengthen identification requirements.
Despite the criticism, Capito received an endorsement from President Trump. In her victory statement, she emphasized her commitment to West Virginia and her working relationship with the president. “Our campaign’s message to West Virginians has been straightforward from the beginning: I’ve never been in a better position to continue delivering for our state through my leadership positions and committee chairmanships,” Capito said. She highlighted priorities such as working families, small business tax cuts, energy investment, infrastructure improvement, and community safety.
Capito first won election to the Senate in 2014, turning the seat Republican. She is the first woman to hold the office in the state. She currently serves as fourth in the Senate Republican majority leadership and chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. She has stressed her relationships with local leaders and her conservative record. Capito faced five opponents in the primary, including state Sen. Tom Willis, a Republican from Berkeley County. Willis criticized Capito as a “RINO” and a “swamp creature,” accusing her of not aligning sufficiently with Trump’s agenda.
Willis cited Capito’s vote to approve funding for the Afghan Refugee Resettlement program and her support for Planned Parenthood funding as examples of positions he viewed as contrary to West Virginia’s interests. He also raised questions about insider trading concerns tied to her Senate role. Willis claimed that during negotiations for the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Capito secured an appointment for her son as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia in exchange for her support. Capito has denied any impropriety and has emphasized her record of delivering for the state.
The primary results reflect ongoing debates within the Republican Party about loyalty to the president’s agenda and the balance between state-specific priorities and national policy goals. West Virginia has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1977, making the seat highly likely to remain Republican in the general election. Capito’s victory ensures continuity in the state’s Senate representation, though it has highlighted internal party tensions. Observers note that the contest underscores the influence of Trump’s endorsement in Republican primaries while also showing that local dynamics and individual voting records remain important to voters.
The SAVE America Act remains a point of contention in Senate debates. The measure has faced procedural hurdles, with some Republicans, including Capito, voting against attaching it to certain funding bills. The legislation would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and direct states to verify voter rolls against federal databases. Supporters argue it strengthens election integrity, while opponents contend it could create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters. The bill’s future in the Senate continues to be debated as lawmakers weigh election security against access concerns.
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the West Virginia primary results will be watched closely for signals about voter sentiment in a deeply Republican state. Capito’s reelection maintains the status quo for the state’s Senate delegation, but the primary battle has drawn national attention to the party’s internal dynamics. Both parties continue to monitor redistricting and election integrity issues that could influence the broader congressional landscape.
FBI Opens Criminal Investigation - Devastating News For Schumer As Probe Set to Target Senate Democrats
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FBI has opened an investigation into possible leaks of classified information tied to Democratic members or staff on the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to reports citing sources familiar with the matter. The probe reportedly stems in part from a criminal referral submitted by the National Security Agency concerning the disclosure of information from a classified overseas intercept. The referral involved media coverage published during the confirmation process for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The reporting referenced an intercepted conversation involving two Hezbollah figures discussing Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria.
A report in The New York Times stated that some interpreted a reference to “the big guy” in the intercept as suggesting Gabbard had met with a senior Hezbollah leader. Gabbard strongly denied that claim. Sources said the NSA later concluded that while the published information did accurately reference material from one of its intercepts, Gabbard had not actually met with Hezbollah leadership. Investigators reportedly identified possible leakers among Democratic staff members on the Senate Intelligence Committee who had access to the intercept before details appeared publicly.
The criminal referral was reportedly submitted last summer but did not gain traction inside the Justice Department for months. According to the report, FBI Director Kash Patel only became aware of the matter several weeks ago. Since then, FBI counterintelligence and criminal investigators have reportedly expanded the inquiry to examine additional possible leaks and communications with media outlets connected to Democratic committee staff.
The investigation is part of a broader Trump administration effort targeting leaks of classified information. Over the past 15 months, several leak-related cases have been pursued by federal authorities. Those cases have included investigations involving former government officials and military personnel accused of improperly sharing sensitive information with journalists or other outside parties.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has faced scrutiny over leaks in the past. In 2018, former Senate Intelligence Committee security director James Wolfe pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during an investigation into disclosures of nonpublic information to a reporter. No charges have been announced in the current investigation, and it remains unclear whether prosecutors will ultimately pursue criminal cases connected to the reported leaks.
The FBI and Justice Department have not publicly commented on the specifics of the inquiry. Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats also have not publicly addressed the allegations. The investigation is likely to intensify ongoing political disputes in Washington surrounding classified information, intelligence oversight and the relationship between lawmakers and the press. The matter comes amid broader debates over the handling of sensitive national security information and the responsibilities of congressional committees in safeguarding it.
Officials have emphasized that protecting classified information is a priority across administrations. The probe reflects continued focus on preventing unauthorized disclosures that could compromise national security or ongoing operations. Legal experts note that leak investigations often involve complex questions of intent, classification levels and the balance between transparency and security. The outcome of the current inquiry could influence future oversight practices on Capitol Hill.
Breathtakingly Dumb' - House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Makes Worst Mistake of His Career
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Law professor and Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley criticized Virginia Democrats on Friday following the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a proposed congressional map that would have heavily favored the party ahead of the midterm elections. Turley made the remarks during an appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity, hours after the court rejected the plan. The proposal had been designed to give Democrats an advantage in 10 of Virginia’s 11 congressional districts.
Turley stated that the legal flaws in the proposal were significant and that Virginia has historically taken a stricter approach to redistricting than many other states. He noted that lawmakers attempted to rush the proposal through ahead of the midterms, but the state Supreme Court refused to approve it. Turley also targeted Gov. Abigail Spanberger, accusing her of abandoning earlier opposition to gerrymandering after taking office. He described the effort as a “face-planting of legendary size” for the governor.
The discussion also addressed the campaign behind the proposal, which reportedly cost tens of millions of dollars, much of it fronted by a political action committee controlled by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Turley argued the failed effort could politically damage Democrats in Virginia, particularly among independents and Republicans who viewed the proposal as an attempt to dilute their influence. He suggested that the move alienated a significant portion of the state’s voters.
The ruling is part of a broader national redistricting battle. Republicans have gained seats in several states through map adjustments following recent Supreme Court rulings that limited the use of race as the predominant factor in drawing districts. Confirmed Republican gains include five seats in Texas and four in Florida. Democrats secured five seats in California and one in Utah. Additional maps in states such as Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee remain pending or under litigation.
Turley described the Democratic strategy as “breathtakingly dumb,” noting that Democratic states were already heavily gerrymandered in their favor years earlier. He pointed to states such as California, Illinois, and Massachusetts as examples where Democrats had secured favorable maps, limiting future opportunities for additional gains. Turley also referenced the upcoming 2030 census and population migration trends that are benefiting Republican-led states. He suggested Democrats miscalculated by reopening the redistricting fight and argued that the party could face a “colossal loss” in the long term.
The Virginia referendum had passed by a narrow 2.5-point margin in April. The court’s decision nullified the results and imposed a permanent injunction preventing implementation of the new map. Democrats had viewed the measure as a way to counter Republican advantages elsewhere, while Republicans described it as an attempt to gerrymander districts for partisan gain. The episode highlights ongoing partisan divisions over redistricting processes and the role of state courts in reviewing voter-approved measures.
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, both parties continue to monitor redistricting developments that could influence the balance of power in the House of Representatives. Legal experts note that mid-decade redistricting outside the traditional post-census cycle is rare and often leads to litigation. Public opinion polling and voter registration data in Virginia suggest a competitive landscape, though the current map favors the existing delegation balance. The situation remains fluid as Democrats consider legal and legislative options.
'DEPORT HER!' Squad Democrat RIPPED For Trip to Enemy Nation - Trump Is Furious
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) drew criticism after comments about efforts to secure oil supplies for Cuba despite longstanding U.S. sanctions. Jayapal made the remarks during a briefing in Seattle following a congressional delegation trip to the island nation. She stated that she had been in conversations with ambassadors from Mexico and other countries to explore ways to address fuel shortages in Cuba, describing the situation there as “a crisis beyond imagination.”
Jayapal said the trip was part of her role in understanding how U.S. foreign policy affects people in the countries where it is implemented. During the visit, she met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, senior government officials, political dissidents, civil society groups, and foreign diplomats. The United States has maintained economic sanctions on Cuba for decades, with recent adjustments under the current administration tightening certain restrictions. Cuba has faced severe fuel shortages, impacting daily life and the economy.
White House spokesperson Olivia Wales responded to the comments, stating that Democrats continue to show they are the “America Last party” by aiding a failed communist regime. Wales described Jayapal’s actions as shameful for a sitting congresswoman. Critics, including Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas), questioned whether lawmakers should represent American interests or those of hostile foreign regimes. Gill noted Cuba’s history as a communist government that has been accused of human rights abuses and acting as a hub for adversaries such as Russia.
Some conservative commentators suggested the outreach could raise legal questions under the Logan Act, which prohibits private citizens from conducting unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments involved in disputes with the United States. The law has rarely been enforced, with only two historical indictments and no successful prosecutions. Jayapal has defended the trip as legitimate congressional oversight. No formal legal action has been announced regarding her statements or the delegation visit.
The incident has intensified partisan debate over U.S. policy toward Cuba and the appropriate role of lawmakers in foreign affairs. Supporters of Jayapal argue that congressional delegations provide valuable on-the-ground perspectives. Critics maintain that such engagement undermines sanctions intended to pressure the Cuban government on human rights and democratic reforms. The State Department has not commented publicly on the specific remarks.

The broader context includes ongoing U.S.-Cuba relations, which have fluctuated between engagement and restriction across administrations. The current policy maintains sanctions while allowing limited humanitarian and cultural exchanges. Cuba has faced economic challenges, including fuel shortages linked to reduced imports from allies such as Venezuela and Russia. The congressional delegation included multiple members seeking to assess conditions firsthand.
The episode reflects continuing divisions in Washington over foreign policy priorities and the balance between congressional oversight and executive authority in international relations. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, such controversies are likely to fuel further debate about lawmakers’ conduct and the direction of U.S. policy toward nations under sanctions. Public reaction on social media has been divided along partisan lines, with some calling for investigation and others defending the delegation as standard practice.
