Watchdog group urges Speaker Johnson to garnish Ilhan Omar’s salary to cover her student loans
A conservative watchdog group is urging House Speaker Mike Johnson to step in on what it calls an “abuse of office” by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over her outstanding federal student loans. In a letter to Johnson, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) claims Omar is in collection proceedings over her federally-guaranteed student loans despite earning $174,000 a year as a member of Congress, the Daily Wire first reported. “The fact that someone making $174,000 as a Member of Congress cannot pay their student loans is unconscionable and embarrassing,” wrote AAF president Thomas Jones. AAF is asking Johnson to instruct the House Chief Administrative Officer to garnish a portion of Omar’s congressional salary and send it directly to her servicer, Nelnet, until the balance is resolved. “Adding insult to injury, there are credible claims that she is using her influence as a Member of Congress to bully the Department of Education into not collecting the past-due payments,”

Trump administration sues California over new redistricting maps
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration sued California on Thursday over its new redistricting maps after a ballot measure adopting new congressional districts passed in the state last week. The measure could give the Democratic-led state five more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and was intended as a counterweight to Republican efforts to give their party more congressional seats in Texas and elsewhere amid a push by Trump. The Justice Department intervened as a plaintiff in a November 5 lawsuit by the California Republican Party and 19 registered voters in the state. The case challenges California’s ballot initiative Proposition 50, which allows temporary use of new congressional district maps. The Justice Department in its complaint said California’s map “manipulates district lines in the name of bolstering the voting power of Hispanic Californians because of their race.”

Since then, rolling blackouts caused by severe electricity shortages and a drought of biblical proportions have been plaguing the land. What was the response? They shook their fist, as they always have, at the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They doubled, if not quadrupled down. The Iranian regime focused on rearming. Then, right at that time in early July, the drought started, record-breaking temperatures hit, and the rolling blackouts became intolerable.

The U.S. Is On The Verge Of One Of The Greatest Strategic Mistakes In Modern History
In recent decades, the U.S. has been involved in a string of disastrous regime-change wars. Instead of learning our lesson, it appears we’re on the verge of starting another regime-change war. No doubt, Venezuelan President Maduro is a bad guy, and his nation produces vast quantities of illegal drugs that end up on major U.S. city streets. But a regime-change war in Venezuela would require an enormous commitment of military resources at a time when fighting between Israel and Iran could break out again, when Russian forces are about to make a major breakthrough in Ukraine, and when China could make a move on Taiwan.

In America’s K-Shaped Economy, The Rich Are Getting Richer While Almost Everyone Else Is Getting The Sharp End Of The Stick
Pundits have been talking a lot about America’s “K-shaped economy” lately, but most average people on the street have no idea what that means. Basically, it means the wealthy are getting wealthier while almost everyone else is getting monkey-hammered.

For those at the top of the economic pyramid, it could be argued that these are the best of times because the stock market has been soaring.
