Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) believes he has a commitment from the White House and Senate GOP leadership to get another chance to repeal an expansion of Medicaid offerings — a controversial proposal that failed to make it the final version of President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy package. “I think I pretty well have a commitment. They’re going to do that,” Johnson told reporters of the prospects that Republicans will reconsider a provision that would end the federal government’s 90 percent cost share of funding for new enrollees in states that expanded Medicaid under the Democrats’ 2010 health care law.…

For years now, Democrats have accused Republicans of being ‘election deniers’ but ever since Trump was reelected, people on the left seem to be competing to see who can come up with the most outlandish conspiracy theory about Trump and elections. Rosie O’Donnell has accused Elon Musk of stealing the 2024 election for Trump. James Carville recently got an earful from Bill O’Reilly for claiming Trump will rig the midterms, and now failed Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams is getting in on the act. While appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel show with guest host Anthony Anderson, Abrams went through a…

The Trump administration on Tuesday officially revoked the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designation for Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Syrian rebel group and former al-Qaeda faction that toppled dictator Bashar Assad in December and took control of Damascus. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the revocation of FTO status fulfilled a promise made by President Donald Trump in May, when he met with HTS leader and interim Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia. “Tomorrow’s action follows the announced dissolution of HTS and the Syrian government’s commitment to combat terrorism in all its forms,” Rubio said in a statement released…

A man on Tuesday died at one of Milan, Italy’s airports after being sucked into a jet engine on a runway. An official for Sacbo, the company that manages the Milan Bergamo Airport, said that the man was not a passenger nor an airport employee. After the incident, flight operations were suspended due to a “problem” on the taxiway and subsequently resumed at noon, local time. The New York Times reported: Airport tarmacs usually have strict security protocols, and fatal incidents on them are rare. Last year, in May, an airport employee died after climbing into a running jet engine at Amsterdam’s Schiphol…

Senate Republicans are eyeing changes to the White House’s $9.4 billion request to claw back funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting as leadership plans to bring it to the floor next week. Majority Leader John Thune can only lose three GOP senators and still get the House-passed bill to the floor and ultimately across the finish line — and the South Dakota Republican is openly acknowledging that it’s TBD what the bill looks like when and if it gets there. That’s because Republican senators are still talking about potential tweaks to slim down the cuts President Donald Trump is…

Gustavo Petro / Screenshot Colombia’s Marxist president, Gustavo Petro, has issued a groveling apology to President Trump, days after accusing his administration of plotting a “coup” against him. The letter, which was obtained by Colombian media outlets, attempted to ease tensions between the two countries that are at their lowest point in years. “My concern has always been to warn about destabilizing dynamics affecting our region, often driven by diverse actors with conflicting interests,” it read. ”In this context, I recognize that some of my words may have been perceived as unnecessarily harsh.” “In the interest of dialogue, I want…

One rule has remained true for generations when it comes to the division between the sexes: Men are held accountable for everything, women accept accountability for nothing. Obviously, there’s going to be exceptions to the rule, but the majority of the time it is true that modern western women have a serious problem taking responsibility when things go wrong. They have been taught from a very early age that they are victims: Victims of men, victims of society, victims of “patriarchy”, victims of religion, victims of biology, victims of circumstance, etc. The feminist movement is built entirely around the notion…

An imposter has been posing as Secretary of State Marco Rubio in order to contact other high-level officials, including foreign ministers and a member of Congress, since at least June, the Washington Post reported. A State Department cable obtained by the outlet, corroborated by a senior U.S. official who spoke on the subject, revealed that an unknown culprit is behind a string of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered audio and text messages mimicking Rubio’s voice and writing style.  The cable, sent from Rubio’s office to State Department employees on July 3, said the imposter sent regular texts and messages on the encrypted…

China’s latest social media celebrity is a man with the surname Jiao, known online as the “Red Uncle,” who lured a large number of straight men into sexual intercourse by disguising himself as a woman, then secretly filming the encounters. Jiao was detained by police in the city of Nanjing on Sunday on charges of “spreading obscene material.” Distributing photos or video of sexual acts online is illegal in China and surreptitiously recording sexual activities without the consent of the other party may be a criminal violation of the few privacy rights the Communist Party recognizes. The case quickly became…
