WASHINGTON, DC – MAY 21: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) speaks to reporters as he departs … MoreGetty Images Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives passed sweeping reconciliation legislation early Thursday that, among other things, would repeal several key federal student loan forgiveness and repayment programs and slash more than $300 billion in education-related spending. The bill narrowly passed by a 215 to 214 vote, mostly along party lines. The student loan reforms are part of a broader effort by Congressional Republicans to slash federal spending to help offset the costs of extending expiring tax cuts. “President…

President Donald Trump’s meeting Wednesday with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa began cordially — but when Ramaphosa protested against claims of “genocide,” Trump turned on a video. The video showed radical leader Julius Malema and other black political figures addressing rallies, chanting slogans such as “Kill the farmer!” and “Shoot to kill!” The video also showed threats to seize white-owned farmland, and a large memorial to murdered farmers featuring over a thousand crosses along a roadside. Ramaphosa had begun by avoiding the issue, saying instead that he wanted to focus on trade, investment, and efforts to promote peace around the…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) stated that while former President Joe Biden “had a good economic record,” “The fact that there was the Inflation Reduction Act and these other big bills wasn’t dealing with grocery prices. It wasn’t dealing with the economic insecurity people were having.” Welch stated, “I think what was really bad for us, and we’re still recovering from it, is that, in that campaign, there was support for Biden because he beat Trump, it was because he did a good job on COVID, because he had a good economic record, and…

Alyssa Farah Griffin told her co-hosts on Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that the left claims to support free press until they report negative stories about Democrats. Griffin said, “I want to speak to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson specifically because I’m friends with both of them, colleagues with both of them, and I don’t think there is anyone who could credibly accuse, especially Jake Tapper, of not critically covering Donald Trump for the last ten years. He’s one of the top journalists in this country. He moderated that debate, by the way, and this is where I take issue…

President Trump on Wednesday evening said he is seriously considering taking mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public. The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) guarantee a majority of US mortgages. Recall that government-sponsored Fannie and Freddie were placed under conservatorship in 2008. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) took control over the two mortgage giants during the 2008 liquidity crisis. President Trump said Fannie and Freddie are doing well and throwing off a lot of cash. “I am giving very serious consideration to bringing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac…

South African politician Julius Malema, the leader of the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, responded to President Donald Trump’s claims about “genocide” Wednesday by reiterating calls to kill white farmers. Earlier that day, Trump had shown visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa video of Malema leading rally chants of “Kill the Boer!”, “Kill the farmer!”, “Shoot to kill!”, and other incendiary slogans. Ramaphosa tried to argue that Malema’s rhetoric did not represent the government’s policies, but Trump countered that South Africa had passed a law allowing expropriation of land without compensation, that it had racially discriminatory laws, and that…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) stated that the Republican tax and spending bill just has “crumbs” for working families and “meager working families stuff” while former President Joe Biden and Democrats improved things for working families. Wasserman Schultz said, “[T]hey’re yanking health care away from nearly 14 million people. Those are CBO numbers, those are facts. They are making the largest nutrition assistance cut in American history. And, really, they’re doing all of this in service to giving more — making billionaires’ tax breaks permanent and they throw some crumbs at the working…

On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed Joe Biden’s health. Marlow said that the cancer diagnosis doesn’t impact the main issue of Biden’s cognitive health, and “we’re missing a little bit here because we’re so quick to want to say, well, they’re always lying, they’re lying about this, he wasn’t fit because of the prostate cancer. We do not know that. … We’re much better off…focusing on those aneurysms that clearly cause dementia.” “The Alex Marlow Show,” hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network. You can…

House Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” is one step closer to passage after clearing a key procedural hurdle that sets up a floor vote later Thursday morning. Republicans stayed overwhelmingly united on a test vote to advance the massive domestic-policy measure shortly before 3 a.m., paving the way for a vote on final passage later in the day — just in time to meet Speaker Mike Johnson’s Memorial Day deadline. The 217-212 vote bodes well for Johnson, who can’t, with his razor-thin majority, afford more than a couple of GOP defections on a bill that isn’t expected to garner any Democratic…
