Jim Jordan: “I'm still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race, but I want to go talk to a few of my colleagues.”

In a candid discussion, Vivek Ramaswamy shifts the debate from the standard climate change narrative to the promise of nuclear energy. Learn why the "climate change agenda" is viewed skeptically by some, and why adaptation and nuclear energy might be the real answer to our environmental challenges.

Bacon is accused of being one of a handful of Republicans who would consider voting for Democrat Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker over Republican Jim Jordan. Bacon in a recent interview protested at the way that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed. "You can't have five, lately, it's been eight out of 222 making demands that everybody else has to comply with their wishes. I'm not prepared to do that," Bacon told KETV. "I don't think Jim is the best fit for this district. If he won fairly, I'd support him. I'm not into an unfair process when 1 out of 10 is playing unfairly and breaking the rules to demand what they're getting." Jordan chairs the House Judiciary Committee and has the nomination of the Republican caucus, but he currently lacks the necessary number of votes to become speaker due to holdouts like Don Bacon.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was recently confronted on her 'present' vote on Israel's Iron Dome while on CNN. "A couple of years ago, there was a vote in Congress for funding for the Iron Dome, and you very publicly were torn, even emotional about your vote, which ultimately was present," CNN political correspondent Abby Phillip noted. "You put out a statement saying that you opposed Iron Dome funding. I wonder, given everything that we've seen in this last week, the Iron Dome has essentially intercepted thousands of rockets from Hamas. Do you believe now that that funding is essential? Would you vote for it today?" "Yes, and to be clear, at that time I had voted present on the Iron Dome funding because of what we had seen previously that year in terms of Netanyahu's decisions, which also resulted in the bombing of several buildings that contain media agencies, civilian targets. However, I do think that in this present moment when we discuss support for Israeli defense systems, that is absolutely legitimate. I think it is absolutely something that who support, we support." AOC neglected to mention that the IDF warned the occupants of Gaza's Al-Jalaa Tower that an airstrike was imminent because it "contained military assets belonging to Hamas military intelligence." After her maudlin theatrics while making her 'present' vote on the Iron Dome funding, she explained her shedding of tears. “Yes, I wept. I wept at the complete lack of care for the human beings that are impacted by these decisions, I wept at an institution choosing a path of maximum volatility and minimum consideration for its own political convenience,” she said. “And I wept at the complete lack of regard I often feel our party has to its most vulnerable and endangered members and communities - because the death threats and dangerous vitriol we’d inevitably receive by rushing such a sensitive, charged, and under-considered vote weren’t worth delaying it for even a few hours to help us do the work necessary to open a conversation of understanding.” There is not much to understand: Israel needs the ability to defend itself from militant Islamist aggression that threatens to wipe it off the map. That is an actual "death threat," and Israeli citizens live with it everyday. "So you would vote yes today if it came to the United States Congress, additional funding for the Iron Dome?" Phillip asked her. "I think if it was explicitly around that, I have concerns, white phosphorus. I have concerns about the respect for humanitarian about human rights." What about the "human rights" of Israeli civilians who were at partying at dawn on a Saturday when Hamas militants slaughtered them in a surprise attack? What about the "human rights" of 21-year-old Mia Schem, an Israeli-French woman who was kidnapped from that Supernova Music festival? What about the "human rights" of Israeli civilians to live and worship in peace without the constant threat of being exterminated for believing in Judaism? But perhaps we shouldn't expect AOC to have moral clarity on this issue, after all, before the 2018 election, she attempted to clarify her view that Israel was on "occupied" territory. “I think what I meant is like ... the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas and places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty and access to their housing and homes,” she responded. When prompted further, she admitted, “I am not the expert at geopolitics on this issue." That is something that Americans can agree on.

This senator was as cool as the other side of the pillow.

CNN reported on the atrocity and the conflicting reports.

It looks like the FBI director debunked reports that Islamist terrorist attacks coming to America were nothing but conservative influencers' "conspiracy theories."

Jake Tapper and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan discuss the possibility of a prisoner swap for US hostages.

MAHER: “I just want to finish with the values first, because it just amazing to me that the American left, so much of it, throws their lot in with people whose values I hope they don’t share, but let’s go through them." "Because values and customs make a difference, okay, and the people of Gaza — by the way, if the Israelis did get rid of Hamas, they’d be doing a giant favor to the people of Gaza who hate Hamas." "But let’s just go through the list, because Israelis look like us in most ways values-wise. Maybe we’re not doing it the right way, I don’t know." "Religious tolerance, that doesn’t exist in Gaza. You’re either a Muslim or an infidel, and you better be a Muslim. Female freedom. Free and fair elections. Free speech. Gay rights..." [...] [JAMES] KIRCHICK: "I think that this past week has been a real important moment for a moral reckoning on the American left, because there’s a small — and I will emphasize that, a very small but growing and extremely loud faction on the American left that has revealed itself — " MAHER: "I don’t know how small anymore." Good for Bill Maher for calling this out.

The President had quite a "moment."

Batya Ungar-Sargon: “They really cannot understand the difference between the butchers and the people trying to stop more butchering.”

"Yeah, why don’t you go f*** yourself!" Town Selectman Lilia Maselli unleashed on 60-year-old Wilmington resident Kevin Macdonald for daring to bring up an alleged conflict-of-interest. MacDonald contended that the Covid vaccines were having a deleterious effect on firefighters' insurance. He also accused Maselli of a conflict of interest since she worked for a company that he claims is a risk to the fire department for “gas leaks.” Board member, Gregory Bendel, becomes annoyed with MacDonald saying "don't you raise your voice at me pal. I'll throw you out" while gesturing at the door to the meeting room. "Mr. Chair, I'm going to excuse myself because I don't have time to waste sitting here listening to this" Maselli told the board. Maselli tells the man, "it's a good thing nobody in this town likes you or listens to anything you say." "Why don't you go get some ice cream?" he retorts. "Why don't you go f**k yourself" Maselli said before storming off, adding that people should call the police "so this guy doesn't attack any of us. If he's going to be here, I am not. I am done with this 's**t'.' This is what arrogant liberals believe is a "democracy." You agree with what they say or they will call the police on you for disagreeing.

Watch a British talking head get shut down in real-time while calling for Israel to have a “proportionate” strike against Hamas. Douglas Murray hits her with a real gem of a response.

Dominik Tarczyński: “Of course, because this is what our people are expecting from our government.’…‘This is the reason why we had not even one terrorist attack’…’I care about my family and about my country. ”

Israel provides a 24-hour window for Gaza civilians to evacuate before its planned invasion of Hamas targets in Gaza.
