The U.S. federal government entered a partial shutdown after the Senate failed to pass legislation before the 12:01 a.m. deadline Saturday.

The House Just Passed a Ridiculous $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill — Here’s The Full List of Republicans Who Betrayed You According to NBC News‚ the bill funds the "departments of State‚ Defense‚ Labor‚ Health and Human Services and Homeland Security‚ among others." 🚨#BREAKING: The Partial U.S. government shutdown has started a deal is reportedly expected to pass within hours pic.twitter.com/ct7iIrDCkP — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) March 23‚ 2024 From NBC News: But amid Republican demands for amendments‚ the Senate was unable to reach an agreement to hold a speedy vote ahead of a midnight deadline to fund those departments. The Senate indicated it has sufficient support to get the bill across the finish line following a 78-18 procedural vote on Friday that advanced the measure. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer‚ D-N.Y.‚ announced just before the deadline that both parties have an agreement to vote on multiple amendments and then final passage of the bill early Saturday morning. Barring unforeseen problems‚ the shutdown would have very little impact. If it dragged on through Monday‚ it would trigger furloughs and suspension of various federal services‚ with “essential” workers like air traffic controllers and TSA agents working regardless. "It’s been a very long and difficult day‚ but we have just reached an agreement to complete the job of funding the government‚" Schumer announced on the Senate floor just before midnight. "It is good for the country that we have reached this bipartisan deal."

Republicans were demanding votes on controversial amendments that could put some vulnerable Senate Democrats in tough spots. The agreement includes up to 12 amendment votes‚ followed by final passage. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer began with a quorum call to give members time to get to the floor‚ and urged members to vote quickly once the vote series begins. Of course‚ many people argued to shut down the government. Vote NO. Shut it down. No more. https://t.co/vEfIbOAbbL — Lara Logan (@laralogan) March 21‚ 2024 The United Stares government is a crime syndicate They stopped working for WE THE PEOPLE a long time ago.

Angels dominate popular culture. But how much of the discussion about angels is real? How much is a myth? The Bible gives some clear ideas about angels and their roles and how they affect our everyday lives.

Christine Blasey Ford provided what they call “no evidence” to back up her 2018 claim that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were teenagers. Kavanaugh fiercely denied the charge. Her "witnesses" didn't see it her way. But CBS and ABC and NPR have provided sappy publicity for her new book – which provides no new evidence of her story. Interviewers sympathetically asked why she would go through this "trauma" again -- ignoring that there was money to be made. Ford claimed this was for all the other victims.Ford's new book is published by St. Martin's Press....which is the same Manhattan publisher that issued E. Jean Carroll's book What Do We Need Men For?‚ the 2019 book where she accused Donald Trump of sexual assault in a department store‚ only she couldn't remember which year it happened. No reporter asks about the payout.  When women accuse Democrats of sexual assault -- as Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick did against Bill Clinton -- they found no book deals. Kathleen Willey authored a book for World Net Daily books. The major publishers at Manhattan aren't interested. In every venue‚ interviewers failed to ask Ford how she perceived the other accusers of Justice Kavanaugh‚ Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick. The media believe Ford is the most plausible accuser‚ so the others are buried in the past.  At least CBS reporter Tracy Smith offered a few seconds of balance by displaying the 2018 testimony of both Ford and Kavanaugh. Smith also gets credit for pressing Ford with the Kavanaugh camp’s pushback -- that no one in that teenage circle recalls this party she’s talking about. NPR sucks. CBS 'Sunday Morning' interviewed Christine Blasey Ford‚ aired Kavanaugh's denials of her unproven sex assault claims. CBS's Tracy Smith underlines no one recalls that night as she does. NPR aired two Ford interviews and there was no pushback on her story. At all. pic.twitter.com/jRaN2to7Td — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) March 22‚ 2024 National "Public" Radio did not present any Kavanaugh soundbites of denial. Morning Edition co-host Michel Martin mentioned at the beginning that Kavanaugh "vehemently denied" the accusation. On Fresh Air with Terry Gross‚ Gross never mentioned Kavanaugh's denials. She began by warning "As a heads up to our listeners‚ the introduction I'm about to give describes a sexual assault." Not an "alleged assault." Gross asked: "How did you write your book without retraumatizing yourself?" Ford replied "I did retraumatize myself." This interview lasted for almost an hour (including the promotional breaks). ABC's The View also celebrated Ford for her great "courage." Donald Trump sued ABC News this week and their Sunday host George Stephanopoulos for claiming a jury held Trump "liable for rape." (That's not accurate.)  We discuss this and the networks and newspapers who completely skipped the hearing on Hunter Biden this week. Enjoy the podcast below or wherever you listen to podcasts.   

Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin‚ who announced last month that he would not seek re-election‚ has now announced that he plans to leave office next month. His departure will shrink the GOP's House majority to 217-213‚ which means that when all lawmakers participate in a vote‚ if even two Republicans join with Democrats there would be a 215-215 tie."After conversations with my family‚ I have made the decision to resign my position as a member of the House of Representatives for Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional District effective April 19‚ 2024‚" Gallagher said in a statement. "I've worked closely with House Republican leadership on this timeline and look forward to seeing Speaker Johnson appoint a new chair to carry out the important mission of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party‚" he continued. "My office will continue to operate and provide constituent services to the Eighth District for the remainder of the term. Four terms serving Northeast Wisconsin in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime and strengthened my conviction that America is the greatest country in the history of the world." — (@) Gallagher‚ who has served in the House since early 2017‚ was one of the 101 House Republicans who voted in favor of passing a swampy‚ earmark-laden government appropriations package on Friday‚ sending the proposal to the Senate. Friday was the last day in office for GOP Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado‚ who announced last year that he would not seek re-election and then announced last week that he would leave Congress at the end of this week. Buck voted against the appropriations package on Friday.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A shocking video captured the moment a California man walked off with a severed human leg after a train accident where a woman died‚ according to police. The video shows a disheveled man looking around while carrying a large‚ ragged object. The Kern County Sheriff's Office said that a train struck a woman at about 8:05 a.m. near G and 7th streets in the town of Wasco near Bakersfield. A witness told KGET-TV that they saw a man remove a severed leg from the scene near an Amtrak Station. The video shows the man in a red hooded sweatshirt and black pants leaning over an object. He turns around and erratically laughs at the person recording the scene‚ then staggers away. A second scene in the video appears to show the police response and the man waving the leg at the officers. KGET published a censored version of the video with words bleeped out and the image of the leg blurred out.A voice can be heard on the video saying‚ "He's eating that s**t!" in English and then in Spanish. Some of the news videos edit out the portions where it looks like he might be eating the leg. The sheriff's office later confirmed that they had arrested the man and identified him as 27-year-old Resendo Tellez. Other news footage from KERO-TV showed what appeared to be a bloody stain on the sidewalk at the scene of the incident. Tellez was arrested without incident and police said he had outstanding warrants. He was also charged with misdemeanor removal of human body parts from an area that is not a cemetery without law enforcement approval. Some reports say he was charged with mutilating the body‚ which supports the claim that he had devoured some of it. Wasco is a city of approximately 21k residents located about 25 miles north of Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. Like Blaze News?
