Representative Carlos Gimenez of Florida is far from a firebrand. A member of the Republican Governance Group, he joined a handful of mainstream conservatives to block Jim Jordan’s bid to become speaker. In May, after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s failed attempt to boot Speaker Mike Johnson, he said, “You’re not the Republican Party” and called her “an idiot.”But after a gunman in Butler, Pennsylvania nearly killed former president Donald Trump during a rally, Gimenez told The Independent he was angry, saying that Democrats had sowed the seeds for this by constantly attacking Trump.  “They tried to lawfare and they tried...

Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Three years ago, Sen. J.D. Vance proposed to replace "every civil servant" with partisan loyalists. Today, the Ohio lawmaker is Donald Trump's running mate. “I think that what Trump should—like, if I was giving him one piece of advice—fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,” Vance said on a 2021 podcast appearance. “Replace them with our people. And when the courts—because you will get taken to court—and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”
