The Democrats are a split party. One side backs Hamas, a terrorists group and the opposite side backs Israel. Obama/Pelosi caused the dissension within the party when they kicked Biden out and backed the One World Order/Soros, who brought in all of the illegals. How do you fix a broken party, who does not honor the Constitution?
Fox News host Jesse Watters offers his criticism of the current state of the Democratic Party, and their perceived reliance on identity politics, failure to connect with average voters and financial troubles following Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss.
JESSE WATTERS: After raiding Trump’s house, staging a coup and pardoning Hunter, they lost whatever moral high ground they claimed to have had… It’s more than just an issue of not trusting Democrats. Americans can’t even hear them because their delivery vehicles broken. Kamala’s campaign guy says the party structure, it’s basically a tear down… Democrats are alone and now they’re broke. Kamala blew through 2 billion and left her party in debt. So the donors turned into tightwads. Joe might never break ground on his presidential library. And now we’re hearing he’s canceled from the speaking circuit. Biden already has one foot out the door at this point. He’s more worried about his own legacy than he is about mending fences. Sources inside the Biden world say Biden doesn’t think he owes anything to a party that launched a mutiny against his presidential bid. Today, the big guy came out and took a victory lap for Bidennomics.
If Bidennomics was so great, why’d the Democrats get wiped out? Biden’s leaving and the top three words that voters used to describe him ‘old, falling and inflation.’ That’s according to a survey by the Daily Mail. The party elders are toast. Biden’s going to live in disgrace in Delaware.
A number of stores, banks and ATMs are no longer accepting certain bills. Find out which ones will be rejected and why.
In an effort to improve the security of the monetary system, the Bureau of Engraving, the Secret Service and the Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence (ACD) Steering Committee have launched an initiative to stop U.S. stores, merchants, banks and ATMs from accepting certain banknotes.
According to various reports, the dollar bills that will be rejected are all those that fall into the category of “mutilated”, that is, those that have cuts or damaged edges and are discolored. This measure applies to stores and supermarkets such as Costco, Walmart, Dollar Tree, Target and other businesses
Currently, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) issues dollar bills in seven denominations: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. While the $500, $1,000, and $10,000 bills have been out of production for some time, they are still in circulation. The only scenario in which the latter can be rejected is if they fall into the “mutilated” category, like any other unit.
How can you tell if your dollar bill is “mutilated”?
Typically banknotes get mutilated because of “fire, misuse, or even deterioration from burying money,” according to the Federal Reserve. That is, those that have cuts or damaged ends and are discolored.
What can you do with your “mutilated” dollar bills?
“The BEP will evaluate the note. They have special tools to examine the authenticity and assess the full value of the note. After they do that, they can issue a check back to the consumer,” a Fed currency representative explains.
In addition to the implementation of this new security measure, the Federal Reserve will introduce new designs for the $5, $20, $50 and $100 bills in the coming years. The introduction of the new $50 bill will take place in 2028, the $20 bill in 2030, the $5 bill between 2032 and 2035 and the $100 bill between 2034 and 2038.
How to detect a counterfeit banknote?
According to experts from El Cronista,to identify if your dollar bill is real, you must detect the following characteristics:
Light-resistant security thread with the inscription “USA”
3D security strip that changes when tilting the bill
Ink that changes color in the lower right corner
Watermark when observing the bill against the light
Where did the Patriots in the FBI go? Word on the street reports that internally the FBI is in a mess. His attitude when reporting to Congress was never good.
It was only a matter of time before FBI Director Christopher Wray was out.
Even though he still has three years left in his 10-year appointment, the FBI director serves at the pleasure of the president. Wray, who replaced the noxious James Comey in the position, did little better to engender trust in the bureau and ingratiated himself just as well with what we’d call “deep state” types — unaccountable bureaucrats who think the real power should reside with them, not the people, and get their way most of the time.
But, if you think Wray is leaving without a fight — well, according to reports, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
Days after Trump announced Kash Patel as his nominee for FBI director and hours after a blistering 11-page Monday letter from incoming Senate Judiciary Chair Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, reports indicate that Wray is preparing to leave either before or when Donald Trump takes office for the second time.
“He’s going to be gone at the inauguration — on or before the inauguration,” a source told the Washington Times.
“Mr. Wray is calling it quits because he doesn’t want to get fired by President-elect Donald Trump, according to sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director’s thinking,” the outlet reported.
Patel will have to be confirmed by the Senate, and his nomination was seen as one of the more difficult picks for a second Trump administration to shepherd through a confirmation process.
However, Grassley’s letter to Wray, putting the FBI director on blast for his actions during his six-and-a-half years in the job, made it clear that the GOP wanted someone else and wasn’t going to dissuade Trump from firing Wray with three years and change left in his tenure.
Among the “failures” cited in the letter from Grassley to Wra were several acts of what he characterized as politically motivated actions against Trump and the GOP, Fox News reported.
“The Senate confirmed you to your current position in hopes you’d bring needed change to the FBI after the politicization and scandal presided over by your predecessor, Director James Comey. While I sincerely congratulated you on your nomination, I reminded you that an FBI Director’s ten-year term is a ceiling, not a floor, and laid down my expectations for your service,” Grassley wrote.
“These included foremost the prompt and thorough compliance with congressional oversight requests and the protection of whistleblowers, whom I’ve spent my career defending. As we stand at the threshold of a new Congress and a new administration, with seven years of water under the bridge, you’ve failed in these fundamental duties as director.
“Even President Biden, who denied weaponizing his administration against President-elect Trump, has finally admitted that political bias has indeed infected law enforcement,” he continued.
“These failures are serious enough and their pattern widespread enough to have shattered my confidence in your leadership and the confidence and hope many others in Congress placed in you. Rather than turn over a new leaf at the FBI, you’ve continued to read from the old playbook of weaponization, double standards, and a relentless game of hide-and-seek with the Congress.”
This included the “unprecedented raid” on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August of 2022, noting that he had authorized roughly 30 armed FBI agents to “use lethal force if needed” during the search.
“This raid occurred despite serious questions about the need for it. President Trump apparently was cooperating with the investigation, notwithstanding liberal press reports. He voluntarily turned over 15 boxes of documents months before the FBI’s drastic escalation,” Grassley said.
He added that Hillary Clinton was never subject of such a raid “even though she and her staff mishandled highly classified information while using a non-government server.”
Furthermore, he alleged, the FBI under Wray acted as an “accomplice to the Democrats’ false information campaign designed to undermine my investigation of alleged Biden-family corruption.”
“On August 6, 2020, as Senator Ron Johnson and I were finishing our report on the Biden family’s financial connections to foreign governments and questionable foreign nationals, you succumbed to pressure from Democrats in Congress and provided an unnecessary briefing that Democratic leadership requested in an effort to falsely label our investigation as Russian disinformation,” he wrote.
“That briefing consisted of information we already knew and information that wasn’t connected to our Biden investigation. We made clear at the time our concern that the briefing would be subject to a leak that would shed false light on the focus of our investigation. Predictably, on May 1, 2021, the Washington Post did just that, falsely labeling our investigation as Russian disinformation.”
Furthermore, he said, the FBI “sat on bribery allegations” involving the Biden family.
In addition to all of this, the FBI under Wray failed to act on the vetting process of Afghan nationals admitted to the U.S. in the wake of the fall of the country to the Taliban and “refused” to provide Congress info, also didn’t provide information regarding a memo which described traditional Catholics as potential violent extremists, didn’t act on “credible whistleblower disclosures” of sexual harassment, and showed an “outright disdain for congressional oversight.”
“Your and Deputy Director Abbate’s failure to take control of the FBI has hindered my work and others’ work throughout multiple Congresses on matters that needed timely information, and has prevented the truth on some issues from ever reaching the American people. You’ve also shown a continuing double standard and failure to carry through on promises,” Grassley wrote.
Thus, with the writing on the wall, Wray is apparently out on his own accord — although the FBI didn’t say as much in a statement to the Washington Times.
“The FBI has repeatedly demonstrated our commitment to responding to Congressional oversight and being transparent with the American people. Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate have taken strong actions toward achieving accountability in the areas mentioned in the letter and remain committed to sharing information about the continuously evolving threat environment facing our nation and the extraordinary work of the FBI,” they said in a statement.
Well, the deep state weeps tonight. It remains to be seen whether Kash Patel gets the gig of cleaning the bureau out — but as for Wray, it couldn’t happen to a better guy.
****
Law and order under the Constitution was all it took to keep the streets safe. What went wrong with Wray and what did he not understand about the rules? Did he become a “dirty cop?” When trust was given and it was used against the system, it is time to change the leader. Very disappointing.
McConnell states: U.S. “will not be made great again?” What is that suppose to mean? It is a good thing he is retiring – he has been in his position entirely too long and is as stale as “day old bread.” He could have left on a good note; but, the grouch had to take one last swing at a business man who made government work in his first term – something that the grouch could never do with all of the years he sat in his seat.
As bad as President Biden has performed in his job – McConnell never opened his mouth to call him out and never made any effort as a leader to try to stop him while Biden was taking us down. Why? That is not being a leader – especially, all of the years Obama was weaponizing our country and then what they have put President Trump through – McConnell never stood up for the Republican Party during President Trump’s time in office – even when his wife worked for President Trump.
That is not a leader when your own team is being “spat” on.

Mitch McConnell Appears to Swing at Trump—US ‘Will Not Be Made Great Again’
The Kentucky senator spoke out against “isolationism” and praised the “power of alliances” while accepting an honorary “Peace Through Strength” award at the Reagan National Defense Forum. Around the same time, in an interview with NBC News’ Meet the Press over the weekend, Trump said he was open to pulling the U.S. out of NATO.
McConnell referenced the late President Ronald Reagan’s “peace through strength” mantra in his speech. He also emphasized the need for the U.S. to demonstrate greater commitment to alliances such as NATO and bolster its “military capability” to counter rising threats from nations like China, Russia and Iran.
“Within the party Ronald Reagan once led so capably, it is increasingly fashionable to suggest that the sort of global leadership he modeled is no longer America’s place,” McConnell said at the event held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
“But let’s be absolutely clear: America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline,” he added, seemingly paraphrasing Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. “Let’s Make America Great Again” was also a slogan used by Reagan during his 1980 presidential campaign.
McConnell did not mention Trump by name during his speech. Trump has frequently threatened to withdraw the U.S. from NATO over cost concerns, criticizing other member countries for not meeting spending targets.
“If they’re paying their bills, and if I think they’re treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely I’d stay with NATO,” the president-elect said in the interview, which aired on Sunday. If not, Trump said he would “absolutely” consider the possibility of withdrawing from the alliance.
Newsweek has contacted McConnell’s office and Trump’s transition team for comment via email outside regular office hours.

During his remarks, McConnell described a “new era of great power competition,” warning that “influential voices want to leave the lessons of the last such competition, the Cold War, at the door.”
“At both ends of our politics, a dangerous fiction is taking hold—that America’s primacy and the fruits of our leadership are self-sustaining. Even as allies across NATO and the Indo-Pacific renew their own commitments to hard power, interoperability, and collective defense, some now question America’s own role at the center of these force-multiplying institutions and partnerships,” McConnell said.
*****
Undoubtedly, what McConnell did – didn’t work in the Senate – the whole government was weaponized and he didn’t open his mouth. We are trillions in debt and McConnell thinks we should support the whole world.
McConnell needs to understand – he was part of the leadership who have put us where we are in this day and time. The award “Peace through strength” was given for what strength – our Military is woke and were made to wear high heels?
