By Brett Rowland (The Center Square) The International Monetary Fund warned the United States that government spending and increasing national debt are not sustainable and could hurt the global economy. The Washington, D.C.-based group that represents 190 member countries also called the U.S. economy “overheated.” The debt warning follows several other high-profile calls to address growing U.S. debt.  “Amid mounting debt, now is the time to bring back sustainable public finances,” according to the latest IMF Fiscal Monitor report.  In its latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF w ..read more

House Speaker Mike Johnson is forging ahead with a House vote this weekend to send tens of billions overseas. The $95 billion bill provides aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other American allies.

A fourth vote will consider making Ukraine aid a loan, a potential nationwide ban on TikTok, new sanctions on Iran, and a measure allowing ..read more

Most conservative Republicans are very much against the over $60 billion in new Ukraine aid that the GOP and Democratic establishments desperately want. Especially considering the billions America has already spent there. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a great idea: House members who insist on voting for this aid can also go over there and fight in the Ukrainian military. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced an amendment requiring members to “conscript in the Ukrainian military” if they vote for the Ukraine supplemental bill. pic.twitter.com/n0SykKpA3I — Juliegrace Brufke (@julie ..read more

MSNBC host Joy Reid could hardly contain her excitement over the fact that several “DEI officials” are behind the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The acronym DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Critics of such policies suggest it is outright racism, using skin color or other demographics in hiring practices. In other words, affirmative action. Something the Supreme Court recently ended for college admissions. Reid, in a segment with fellow host Lawrence O’Donnell, says black attorneys going after Trump is “wonderfully poetic.” “But for me, there is something wonderfu ..read more

Donald Trump’s alleged ‘hush money’ case began this week carried out by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, but Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett is calling BS. Jarrett says the former president is being held to a completely different standard due to the fact that Hillary Clinton did ‘pretty much the same thing” but was not dragged into court over it. Clinton was never put on trial for her campaign paying for the now discredited Steele Dossier, that supposedly showed Trump colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Gregg Jarrett: "I've never seen such a tangled, tor ..read more

Rodriguez quotes Judge Juan M ..read more
