It’s Embarrassing’: GOP Rep. Says Republicans Have Nothing to Run On
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) excoriated his own party during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax, lamenting that Republicans on the whole have little to show for their time in the House majority. “In my opinion, we have nothing to go out there and campaign on, Chris. It’s embarrassing,” Biggs told Newsmax host Chris Salcedo. Salcedo echoed the sentiment: “The Republican party and the Congress of the Majority has zero accomplishments.”

Symone D. Sanders-Townsend (born December 10, 1989) is an American political strategist and political commentator currently hosting MSNBC's The Weekend. She served as national press secretary for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. She left the campaign abruptly in late June 2016, saying "she was not let go and that leaving the campaign was her decision." In October 2016, she was hired as a Democratic strategist and political commentator by CNN. In April 2019, Sanders joined the 2020 presidential campaign of former vice president Joe Biden as a senior advisor, and after Biden won election, was named chief spokesperson and a senior advisor for Vice President Kamala Harris. On December 2, 2021, Sanders announced her resignation from the White House to return to broadcasting.
Symone Sanders pans ‘Bidenomics’ message
Yet another big-name Democratic political operative is delivering some frank advice to President Joe Biden and his top aides: Time to get out from behind the podium, start interacting with voters and give up on the “Bidenomics” message. This time the real talk is coming from Symone Sanders-Townsend, who four years ago was part of a shoestring, money-crunched Biden campaign that was just hoping to survive tough early primary contests and hold out until more diverse voters got a chance to weigh in.

Scaramucci says he’ll do everything he can to keep Biden in White House
“This really is going to be a battle for the democracy, this one. He’s going to expand executive power. He’s going to make things rougher for people. He has already said he’s going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice,” Scaramucci said of Trump. “And so, for all of these reasons, we’ve got to help the Democrats here if he’s eventually the nominee,” he continued, referring to Trump. “I’ll be working very hard on that.” When (Jim) Acosta tried to clarify if that meant he would be backing Biden over Trump, Scarammucci said, “Well, 100 percent. No, no, you didn’t mishear me.” “If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m a patriot first, Jim, I’m a partisan second. This is a battle for the American democracy. This is a battle for freedom. When someone’s telling you they’re going to flex and be a dictator on day one and go after their adversaries, this is against the 200-plus-year experiment of America,” Scaramucci said.

Matt and Mercedes Schlapp: 'Our faith in God sustained us' amid sexual misconduct allegations A prominent political activist is crediting his “faith in God” with helping him as he faced allegations of sexual misconduct that he condemned as part of a “relentless war” against him. Matt Schlapp, who serves as chairman of the grassroots advocacy group The American Conservative Union, released a statement along with his wife, Mercedes, Tuesday after litigation stemming from allegations of sexual misconduct against him reached a $480,000 settlement: “From the beginning, we asserted our innocence. Our family was attacked by a left-wing media that is focused on the destruction of conservatives regardless of the truth and the facts.” After insisting that “we emerge from this ordeal stronger as husband and wife, stronger as parents to our five daughters, [and] stronger as friends to those who stood by us,” the Schlapps asserted that “our faith in God sustained us.” (Christian Post 3/28/24) READ MORE>>>>> Sexual assault lawsuit against Matt Schlapp is dropped The Republican operative who accused the American Conservative Union head Matt Schlapp of sexual assault has dropped his lawsuits against him and his wife, Mercedes Schlapp, according to statements from the main parties. Soon after the 2022 Herschel Walker Senate campaign, Carlton Huffman — a staffer working for that campaign — accused Schlapp of sexual battery and defamation. In a lawsuit, he sought $9.4 million in damages. But in a statement on Tuesday, Huffman said he was discontinuing his lawsuits and issued an apology for bringing them.

We also learned that the left is waging a relentless war against those of us who still hold fast to the principles of America’s founding and the liberty that has endured throughout our 248-year history. The left no longer leaves disagreements on the political battlefield. Increasingly, they have gained a stranglehold on the mainstream media, social media and the legal system which they use to try to silence, shame, and bankrupt Americans who have contrary, yet correct viewpoints.” --Matt & Mercedes Sclapp 3/26/24 |

Newsmax Host Is Now Sorry For Walking Out On 'Important Guest' Mike Lindell
Newsmax host Bob Sellers pulled a stunning about-face Wednesday after walking out on conspiracy-spewing Mike Lindell during an interview. The anchor apologized for the dramatic exit and called the Trump-supporting MyPillow CEO a “friend of the network” and “an important guest.” (See the video below.) In a shocking viral moment earlier this week, Sellers attempted to silence Lindell as the bedding mogul ranted about what even the far-right network host called unsubstantiated election fraud claims. When that didn’t work, Sellers walked off the set, leaving colleague Heather Childers to finish the chat. Newsmax remains firmly in the camp of ex-President Donald Trump, but has eased away from some of the lies asserted by Trump and his allies. That includes Lindell’s falsehoods about rigged Dominion Voting Systems machines. The company has threatened legal action against Newsmax, prompting the network to stop repeating the voting machine claim and to police its guests’ comments. (Dominion also has sent a cease-and-desist warning to Lindell, but it hasn’t stopped him.) (Yahoo 2/4/21) READ MORE>>>>>

Bill Maher name has been added to the growing list of people who have called on Biden to step aside: ‘My pick would be Gavin Newsom’. He added that following the debate, he and others can no longer “ignore the obvious” about Biden’s age. He urged the Democrats to hold an open National Convention, which could allow another candidate to be selected to replace Biden as the nominee. “Time To Stop F*cking Around”. If I was going to chooses a person to replace Biden I would probably pick Newsom also. But I think the better way is for Kamela Harris to take the reigns.

A Texas man has sued Fox News, Newsmax and other right-wing media outlets for falsely smearing him as a "neo-Nazi murderer" following a mass shooting last year at an outlet mall. The lawsuit alleges that Fox News,
Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba and Hollywood Unlocked all falsely identified 36-year-old Mauricio Garcia as the gunman who killed nine people and wounded seven others May 6, 2023, at Allen Premium Outlets. The actual shooter was a 33-year-old man with the same name who was later killed by police in the same area on an unrelated call.

Bill Maher name has been added to the growing list of people who have called on Biden to step aside: ‘My pick would be Gavin Newsom’. He added that following the debate, he and others can no longer “ignore the obvious” about Biden’s age. He urged the Democrats to hold an open National Convention, which could allow another candidate to be selected to replace Biden as the nominee. “Time To Stop F*cking Around”. If I was going to chooses a person to replace Biden I would probably pick Newsom also. But I think the better way is for Kamela Harris to take the reigns.

Meanwhile, The Maga GOP Led House Oversight Committee is looking to understand more about White House Physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor's role after conflicting statements on whether President Joe Biden received a cognitive test after his debate disaster. One really vial person that really needs to be voted out of congress with a great big KICK..is Marjorie Taylor Greene who isn't even pretending she cares (Because she doesn't) acts like some ghoul obsessing over the lives of people and wanting to drag everybody and everything in front the Maga GOP Nuremburg II Trials so she and her fellow Maga-Members can get sound bytes ridiculing them. She is truly a despicable person. If I thought for a minute she was a real Christian I would have left Christianity a long time ago rather than tolerate the clown show she puts on over and over and over.
Donald Trump ally Tom Fitton was hit with backlash on social media this weekend after he said sources told him that President Joe Biden will not only quit the campaign, but resign from his office entirely. Will Tom Fitton accurately be labeled a liar tomorrow? Considering his usual track record...propabably. Former DNC member Khary Penebaker said Fitton's “'sources' were like 'hey, let’s see what s--- we can make up and get Tom’s dumb a-- to say'!" Four more Congressional Democrats said Sunday afternoon during a phone call convened by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The four additional members speaking out are Reps. Adam Smith of Washington; Jerry Nadler of New York; Mark Takano of California; and Joe Morelle of New York.
Pollster Nate Silver is calling on Joe Biden to resign the presidency after his ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos. Not to just drop out of the 2024 election, but to resign as president of the United States and leave office. Silver is not exactly known as a right-leaning person, so this seems like kind of a big deal.
An article from liberal outlet The Atlantic called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and resign from office for the sake of saving American democracy.

"Biden must resign … to give American democracy its best chance of surviving," Serwer wrote.
