Dems threaten to torpedo GOP’s government funding bill targeting noncitizen voting

By Rebeka Zeljko | Daily Caller Democrats are already pushing back against a Republican-led plan that would temporarily fund the federal government until March, decrying a separate bill attached to the measure that requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration. Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to introduce the continuing resolution (CR) next week with the hotly-contested SAVE Act tethered to it, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, Punchbowl reported Tuesday. At the same time, a number of Democrats have called the effort a nonstarter and encouraged Republican lawmakers to be more “bipartisan.” “As we have said each time we’ve had a CR, the only way to get things done is in a bipartisan way and that is what has happened every time,” Sen...

Gov. Jared Polis flip-flops on live TV over Harris ‘supporting’ southern border wall

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was heard floundering Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” over Vice President Kamala Harris “supporting” the construction of the U.S. southern border wall. Harris has faced repeated criticism from Republicans in recent weeks for failing to explain her flip-flops on numerous policies she campaigned on in 2020. After ABC’s Jonathan Karl pressed Polis on Harris reversing her position on funding the southern border wall, Polis claimed Democrats “have always been supportive of building barriers and walls.” “Look, this is another issue that as it gets into the public discourse is very misleading. Democrats in general, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, you know, Barack Obama, have always been supportive of building barriers an...

‘She Ain’t Made For This’: Harris Aides, White House Staffers Vilify Her In Expository Book

By Robert McGreevy | Daily Caller A book written by progressives, about progressives, blasted Kamala Harris at a time when political observers speculated whether she would be replaced as Joe Biden’s vice president. In it, White House aides outlined Harris’s inability to define a political agenda and her total reliance on personality. Now, with Harris in a tight race for the presidency with Donald Trump, the book has been resurfaced eight months after its release. As recently as the summer of 2023, a cavalcade of Democratic party superstars like California Gov. Gavin Newsom were brandishing their leadership credentials as calls grew for Biden to step aside. Once that time passed, the left-wing whisper machine turned on Harris and her historically abysmal favorability numbers. RE...

Harris brings along VP pick for her first sit-down interview

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Vice President Kamala Harris is set to sit down for her first interview since launching her campaign with CNN, and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz will be appearing alongside her. Harris and her campaign have faced growing pressure over the last month as the vice president has failed to hold a press conference or sit down for an interview since launching her bid for president. CNN announced Tuesday that its own Dana Bash will get the first chance to interview Harris in a segment airing Thursday, though the vice president will be accompanied by Walz. The vice president previously told reporters that she was hoping to get an interview scheduled by the end of the month. While deliberating whether Harris should do an interview, campaign aides were asking ...

Biden-Harris Administration uses little-known hiring mechanism to staff key DOJ divisions

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller The Biden-Harris administration has deployed a little-known hiring mechanism to staff key divisions of the Department of Justice (DOJ) ahead of the 2024 election, according to documents provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT). Hundreds of people, primarily lawyers and judges, have been appointed to the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENRD) and Antitrust and Immigration Review divisions of the DOJ using its “Schedule A” hiring authority since President Joe Biden took office, documents shared with the DCNF by PPT show. Schedule A hiring does not require appointments to be made on the basis of merit and appointments do not expire at the end of the current president’s term, meaning these bureaucrats will stick ...

Kilpper: From vasectomy vans to hotties for Harris, The DNC was truly a freak show

By Gage Kilpper, Commentary | Daily Caller Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them. Allow me to guide you through the Democrats’ wondrous world of human freaks and oddities. But first, we must get inside! Careful, this is a dangerous path. Stay alert as we wade through the crowds of unwashed protesters — rabid, the lot of them. Feast your eyes on a veritable buffet of causes. Do you want to see the destruction of Israel? Care to donate to Hamas? Perhaps trans rights are more your speed. Or, think bigger: the true idealists here want global intifada or worldwide communist revolut...

GOP senators want to know who funds Pro-Palestinian protests, Biden Admin brushes off inquiry

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller The Biden administration brushed off a top GOP lawmaker’s request for information regarding organizations backing pro-Palestinian protests, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Pro-Palestinian protests and riots have surged throughout the country for months, most recently at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chigaco this week. Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and 15 other senators wrote to the IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel in May urging the agency to open an investigation into nonprofit organizations supporting certain pro-Palestinian groups and movements, and whether those organizations’ support jeopardized their tax-exempt status. (RELATED: Gov.

Trump says he will ‘absolutely’ debate Kamala Harris, says he would do ‘more than one’

By HENRY RODGERS | The Daily Caller Former President Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” debate Vice President Kamala Harris, even adding that he would do more than one, while on a press call Tuesday. On a call with reporters, Trump was asked about debating Harris since Biden dropped out of the race, to which Trump said he was not thrilled with ABC News but that he wants to debate Harris, and believes it is important to do so. Harris, who’s running based on a party insider vote with no primary voter approval, said Monday she had secured enough verbal commitments from DNC delegates to clinch her party’s nomination. Three hundred California delegates voted to back Harris on Monday night — all during a private Zoom call. “Absolutely. I’d want to. I think it’s important. I’m not t...

‘Economic hardship’ bonus of only $20 per month? That’s what military troops are getting

By JAKE SMITH | The Daily Caller The Biden administration’s Pentagon will start giving U.S. troops “economic hardship bonuses,” but the payout is unlikely to make any substantial difference in their salaries, according to Military.com. Troops in the E1 through E3 rank — considered junior enlisted troops — will receive an additional $20 per month as a result of the new bonus, a senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Military.com on Friday. Junior enlisted troops have been among those hit the hardest in the military by financial hardships in recent years, with low pay compared to the private sector and high inflation and cost rates.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Jeffrey: Joe Biden Is The $7 Trillion Dollar Man

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY | Commentary, The Daily Caller Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the federal debt has increased by more than $7 trillion. On Jan. 20, 2021, the day of Biden’s inauguration, it was $27,751,896,236,414.77, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury Department. As of this Fourth of July, it was $34,847,568,990,054.13. That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639.36 — in less than four years.
