By M. D. Kittle From Chuck Schumer’s race-baiting false equivalencies to Lisa Murkowski being, well, Lisa Murkowski, it was a great week for bad people.   Yes, the weekend is finally here. Does it feel like a century since the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s carnival of crotch-grabbing and  “dry-humping ”? Muy malo.  Speaking of very bad, the week in politics was filled with a parade of awful. From Chuck Schumer’s race-baiting false equivalencies to  Lisa Murkowski  being, well, Lisa Murkowski, it was a great week for bad people.  Here are the Worst of the Worst from the week that was.  Chuck ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Schumer Did you know that asking people to present identification before they vote is like making some voters drink out of separate water fountains and attend segregated schools? Well, at least it is to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his band of insane Democrats who went about this week painting the  SAVE America Act  as “Jim Cro...

By Kevin Downey Jr. Remember back in 2015 when your bourbon-chugging, conspiracy theorist "Uncle Kevin" stunned the family at Christmas dinner by stating, "A bunch of rich pedos are trying to form a one-world government. They'll take away your steaks, cars, and dogs and blame it on 'climate change.' They'll tell you men are women, and label you a 'bigot' if you refuse to let them control your mind. They'll fill your kids full of SSRIs and tell them to cut off their genitals, and they'll take your children away if you don't play along. They'll replace cash with digital currency and freeze your funds if they don't like your latest tweet. And if you don't stop saying things these lizard people don't condone, they will arrest you. While all of this is happening, the New World Order will flood the West with third-world Muslim savages who will rape and murder with near impunity. They will live off of your tax dollars whil...

By Teri Christoph Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the stage Saturday at the Munich Security Conference (MSC), and you could almost sense the audience – made up largely of European Union (EU) leaders, global elites, and other stakeholders – hold its collective breath as it awaited another tongue-lashing from the United States for abandoning the policies on which Western society once rested. It's unlikely any of them had forgotten Vice President JD Vance going  scorched earth  on them last year for their softening stances on free speech. Here's a taste of Vance at MSC 2025: "The threat that I worry most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, not China, it’s not any other external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values." And while Rubio struck a somewhat softer tone at this year's conference, he was no less direct in his message for the rest of the Western world: get your act together...

By Ben Smith Former CNN anchor  Don Lemon  pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges stemming from what prosecutors describe as a coordinated disruption of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon has framed the case as a threat to press freedom. The charging documents suggest something far less noble. Outside the court, Lemon  invoked  his three decades in journalism and the Constitution. “For more than 30 years, I’ve been a journalist, and the power and protection of the First Amendment has been the underpinning of my work. The First Amendment, the freedom of the press, the bedrock of our democracy.” Federal prosecutors allege Lemon was not simply observing events when anti-ICE agitators entered Cities Church during a Jan. 18 service. He has been charged with conspiracy against the rights of religious freedom at a place of worship and violating the FACE Act. According to a federal  affidavit : Agitators disrupted the religious service and “intimid...

By Bonchie Multiple major events happened overnight in Arizona, as police continued their investigation of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The escalation began with a SWAT raid near the missing's home and escalated further with a Range Rover being pulled over and then covered with a tarp.  NewsNation's Brian Entin was on the scene when a mixture of local and federal authorities arrived. He was eventually told to exit the perimeter but reported that none of the law enforcement had left at that point. #BREAKING : At 1204am Eastern Saturday, @NewsNation 's @BrianEntin reveals he was moved back from inside the perimeter after a few hours on the inside, adds "10 FBI cars...just arrived" on-scene of an ongoing SWAT operation in Pima County connected to the Nancy Guthrie search and… pic.twitter.com/LuYMcJOHbV — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) February 14, 2026 Shortly after that news broke, reports of multiple people being detained began to roll in, including one p...

By Nick Arama Congressional lawmakers were given access to see the unredacted names in the Epstein files, and some have looked at the documents. Shortly after that, Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (KY-4) said they found the names of six men whose names had been redacted, whom Massie  said  were "likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files."  Khanna  claimed  they were “wealthy, powerful men that (sic) the DOJ hid," and then he read  their names  on the House floor for all to hear.  Except there was a small problem with this claim.  While two of the names had some connection to Epstein, four of the names I'd never heard of before, and I'd been covering the case for years. Then I went looking to find out who they were. The first thing I thought was: how wealthy and powerful can they be, if I can't even find much on these people?  But it turns out that those four did not have contact with Epst...

WELCOME to The Corral! This is an open chat forum like REVEILLE, but for Sat and Sun.  Have a wonderful weekend, and please be civil! TEX

By Brad Slager Virginia's Governor Abigail Spanberger, in a brief few weeks in office, has done everything to entrench herself as a serious Democrat. From shrieking about President Trump to hiking taxes up to helium balloon levels, she has made her bid. And now she has classically cemented her party bona fides; Abby has her own outdoor grilling disaster. There are some curious traditions within the Democrat Party when it comes to appealing to the common man. These elitist simpletons believe that if they pander to the rabble and pretend to engage in the same activities as they do (while mocking said activities the rest of the year with their condescending acolytes, while cloistered in 5-star eateries), they will appeal to the leftist voting sheep in their districts.  One of these Dem customs is appearing at county or state fairs and  then recording themselves as they consume  some kind of ghastly gastronomic offense  into their oral cavity . They shame themselves ...

By Tom Tillison In what may be a hopeful sign of a return to normalcy, where an entire segment of society is no longer celebrated for who they choose to have sex with, “Gay Days Orlando,” which culminates with an annual unofficial LGBTQ+ gathering at Walt Disney World, appears to be on the ropes. Organizers took to Instagram to announce a “pause” to this year’s events, citing a loss of sponsorship support. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the GayDays Orlando event scheduled for June 2026,” the organization’s post said. “Changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key sponsorship support, and broader challenges currently impacting LGBTQIA+ events nationwide made it impossible to deliver the experience our community deserves.” “This is a pause — not an ending,” the group added. “For more than 30 years, GayDays has been built by and for our community. Our focus now is on reimagining the future and returning with a stronger, ...
