Pat McAfee Responds to OUTRAGE Over President Trump Appearance

A discharge petition to force a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, spearheaded by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), secured the 218th signature on Wednesday. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) became the 218th signee after being sworn in. “Today we will have the 218th vote for the Epstein discharge petition. Here’s how the legislation is likely to proceed over the next few weeks, with a debate and floor vote occurring just after the Thanksgiving break. How will your Congressman vote?” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said. “Correction: I should have said 218th signature,” he noted.

As a refresher, a discharge petition is a critical tool at rank-and-file members’ disposal. Under the arcane procedure, if 218 members of the House – a majority of all 435 districts – sign one, they can force a floor vote in the chamber on anything — even if leadership opposes it. Such an effort rarely succeeds. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has joined with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California to spearhead this particular discharge petition, but while Grijalva provided the decisive signature, the effort faces a number of hurdles — and the bill is unlikely to become law. Even if the effort passes in the House, the measure must still make it through the Senate and obtain President Trump’s signature. Grijalva joined all Democrats and four Republicans in the discharge petition. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and Nancy Mace (R-SC) are the four Republicans who signed the petition. Speaker Mike Johnson says the Epstein discharge petition will get a vote on the House floor next week.

After that, a member can provide notice of the intent to discharge the legislation, at which point the Speaker must schedule a vote within two legislative days. Republican leadership has the option to try to “turn off” the procedural mechanism in the discharge petition that would allow members to force a vote before having to call up the underlying bill. Leaders successfully scuttled another discharge petition earlier this year, after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) got 218 signatures on her discharge petition to allow new parents to vote by proxy for a period after their child’s birth. To “turn off” a discharge petition, leaders can add language to procedural legislation called a rule that sets the terms of debate for another piece of legislation — essentially daring the GOP defectors who signed the discharge petition to vote against it and hold up other GOP priorities in the process. Rules typically succeed in party-line votes and are a test of party loyalty. In that case, the success of the Epstein resolution would be a question of political will in the face of other procedural hurdles. If all 218 signatories — including the four Republicans who signed — are dedicated to forcing action on the discharge petition, they can do so.

I have always said from Day 1 that Donald Trump is the complete opposite of what most people think about him. They think he’s a rough and tumble guy with no heart, just toughness. The truth is the complete opposite. He has a tough exterior, but underneath is a true heart of gold. And I have yet another example to show you to prove it. Ozzy Osbourne died four months ago, which I’m sure you know: BREAKING: Ozzy Osbourne Dead At 76 And after his death, Jack and Sharon Osbourne have now just revealed that President Trump called and left a heartwarming voicemail to the family.

Now his cause of death has been released. According to a newly released death certificate, Osbourne died from a heart attack. WGNTV reported more details on Osbourne's cause of death: Authorities in London have released the cause of death for Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rocker who died “surrounded by love” late last month. Osbourne, 76, died of a heart attack, according to a death certificate reviewed by The New York Times and other England-based outlets. Cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease were listed among the causes, and Osbourne’s Parkinson’s diagnosis was noted. Osbourne announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. On July 22, Osbourne’s family confirmed in a statement that the Black Sabbath founder had died that morning, “with his family and surrounded by love.” Osbourne’s wife of more than 40 years, Sharon, signed the statement, as did his children, Aimee, Kelly, Jack and Louis. “It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne said in a social media post in February. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.” Users on X, noted Ozzy previously got the COVID-19 vaccine: Ozzy died of a heart attack four years after his jab.

During a Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) interview on British talk show Loose Women, the 72-year-old rock legend appeared alongside his wife Sharon to discuss his experience receiving the shot. “It felt like I was being stabbed,” said a shirtless Ozzy, who was cuddled up in bed with Sharon. “My arm was sore yesterday, but I’m glad I got it, you know?” He added, “As soon as I got it, I felt relieved.”

Ever wonder how those actors and actresses stay looking so young? Well, a Hollywood doctor has come forward and is going on record to how his celebrity patients are doing it. While some have been rumored to stay young via taking blood of the youth, there are other ways. Meet Dr. Ernst von Schwarz. He has an MD, PhD, FESC, FACC, FSCAI Triple Board Certified Clinical. And he’s Academic Cardiologist and Author of “The Secret World of Stem Cell Therapy.” Turns out, the treatments Hollywood elites are using is turning back the clocks. Fox News reported: A now viral heart transplant cardiologist with Hollywood patients revealed that celebrities are now using stem cell injections to extend their lifespan and create a youthful appearance that, in some cases, can make them appear ten years younger. Dr. Ernst von Schwarz is a triple-board certified internist, cardiologist and heart transplant at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Heart Institute of Southern California. He is also one of the pioneering thought leaders in modern future technologies, such as stem cell therapies for chronic diseases for the heart and other organs. He went viral when he predicted that the use of stem cells would extend human life to 120 years by the end of the decade. Schwarz now says that number could reach 150 by the middle of the century. Speaking with Fox News Digital, Schwarz said that while aging is a natural biological process, aging is also the number one risk factor for dying because it is associated with a host of degenerative diseases. In modern medicine, advanced aging is treated as a disease itself. “If I do a heart surgery or any procedure on the heart, the number one question is how old is the patient? Because that determines the risk,” Schwarz said. He noted that over the last 20 years, there has been a shift in the medicine paradigm, moving from reactive medicine to what is known as regenerative medicine. Reactive medicine is when someone comes to the doctor because their body hurts. They may have had an accident and the physician reacts to that injury, inflammation, infection, etc. Today, doctors can repair damage and regenerate damaged tissues through various treatments, such as stem cells, which are not FDA-approved for any disease outside of certain forms of cancer. No disease has ever been cured with stem cells. However, Schwarz noted that their use has seen an improvement in symptoms and the quality of life. “The goal is to create an improved health and longer health span, not of the lifespan. So, we want people to be able to be active until high ages,” Schwarz said. Schwarz, who authored the book “The Secrets of Immortality,” often speaks about how important it is not to believe that there is one injection or one pill that a person can take to solve their problems. Instead, what is needed is a whole lifestyle modification change, which includes diet, exercise, the discovery of nutrient deficiencies and regenerative medicine. Despite criticism from the media, Schwarz said that anti-aging research is of “enormous value.” Many people who come to him are considering skin de-aging or reverse aging. Stem cells, Schwarz said, can have various impacts on the skin. First, they rebuild collagen under the skin layers, which helps to give the face a more viable, fuller appearance. They also help to repair epithelial cells, a type of cell that covers the inside and outside surfaces of the body and are found in skin, blood vessels and organs. Through a process known as angiogenesis, stem cells can improve circulation by helping to build new blood vessels, capillaries and arterials, which in turn supports the healing and repair processes. One call live up to 120-150 years? Why not, if your internal organs are constantly renewed? Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, a triple board-certified internist, cardiologist, and heart transplant cardiologist, believes that advances in stem cell therapy will make living to 120 or even 150 years normal within a couple of years.+ pic.twitter.com/zQKGALYkB8 — Erkan AYAN (@ErkanAYAN2013) September 26, 2023   BUT, the question is…do you have the thousands of dollars to get this stem cell treatment? Well, what if you don’t need to? Healing doesn’t need to be kept behind a massive paywall. God provides another route. God always provides. Another form of stem cell treatment is called X39. How does it work? It uses phototherapy: SEE THEM HERE The technology it uses activates your brain to create copper peptides which CREATE MORE stem cells. Rather than getting them injected, just have your body create more. Simple, right? No needles. No shady trips to who-knows-where in Mexico to get the treatment. No $15,000 medical bills. Though it does have some side effects I need to warn you of: It tends to reverse some people’s age. So if you’re happy with wrinkles and grey hair, you might want to stay away. You see, once your body starts making more stem cells, it doesn’t just go to where the pain is, it goes on a wild rampage in your body, healing whatever needs healing. 2. Around 6 months of using the X39 patch, your heart may even start to get younger and reverse in age.

Former president John F. Kennedy’s grandson is looking to revive the Kennedy dynasty. Jack Schlossberg the grandson of the late John F. Kennedy, has announced he will run for New York’s 12th Congressional District. The seat he is attempting to campaign for is currently held by Rep. Jerry Nadler who is not seeking re-election.

Kennedy, is announcing a run for the US House from New York City, becoming JFK’s first direct descendent and latest member of his family to run for elected office. In a video announcing his campaign, Schlossberg says the “country is at a turning point.” “It’s a crisis at every level, a cost-of-living crisis sponsored by the big, beautiful bill, historic cuts to social programs working families rely on health care, education, childcare, a corruption crisis,” Schlossberg said, focusing on affordability while criticizing President Donald Trump. “He’s picking winners and losers from inside the Oval Office, it’s cronyism, not capitalism and a constitutional crisis with one dangerous man in control of all three branches of government, he’s stripping citizens of their civil rights and silencing his critics.” Schlossberg is running to replace the retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, who represents New York’s 12th Congressional District. Without directly mentioning his famous lineage, Schlossberg describes himself as having been “born and raised” in the district, which stretches from Union Square up through Midtown and then to the Upper West and Upper East sides. “I took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other,” Schlossberg said. He attended the private Collegiate School in New York. In advance his announcement, he told CNN he is a Democrat who represents “a new generation.” Schlossberg has become known for his viral videos on social media which are very freewheeling and unorthodox. He believes his understanding of how to communicate in the age of vertical video will help him connect with younger people. “In this toxic polluted media environment we are in — I breathe that air,” he told CNN. Schlossberg emerged as an outspoken voice calling for Democratic Party reforms after its losses in 2024. “Hey guys ? have formed an exploratory committee,” he wrote on social media in September, days after Nadler announced he would not seek reelection. Schlossberg, 32, the youngest child of Caroline Kennedy and her husband Edwin Schlossberg, told CNN that he would pay homage to his grandfather “organically,” noting that the 35th president “broke the mold.” Schlossberg has repeatedly mocked President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Take a look: JFK’s grandson announces he is running for Congress.

Schlossberg, 32, is the only grandson of President Kennedy, whose nephew Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serves as Trump’s secretary of health and human services. Schlossberg trashed his elder relative as a “rabid dog” and called the Trump administration “the most corrupt in American history” as he rolled out his campaign. “I don’t even think such ridiculous comments are worth responding to. Obviously, those things are not true,” Leavitt told The Post at her regular briefing. “Secretary Kennedy is doing a phenomenal job bringing transparency and the gold standard of science back to our healthcare system,” she added. Schlossberg dissed his mother, Caroline Kennedy’s first cousin, in an interview with MSNBC as he made his bid official. “[Trump] is so obsessed with the Kennedys, and the Kennedy name and the Kennedy brand, that he caged one and put it in his cabinet, a rabid dog in his cabinet,” Schlossberg said. “Put a collar on my cousin, RFK Jr., and has him there barking, spreading lies and spreading misinformation.” The Kennedy scion added: ““I don’t think it takes a genius to know that the Trump administration is the most corrupt in American history. And I don’t know who’s paying [RFK Jr.], but I know that what he’s saying isn’t making anybody healthier or safer, and that the American people should know, when he barks, who’s actually talking.”

We’re 43 days in to the longest government shutdown in US history, depending on how you do the math. The House is expected to vote in just a few hours on the plan to end it following a handful of Democrat Senators who magically decided to get onboard. And so I wanted to take a moment to point out exactly why this all happened to begin with! A full six weeks ago, the Democrats were up in arms because the Trump Administration DARED blame them for the shut down. And Republicans even had the audacity to claim that it was because Democrats were demanding funding for FREE HEALTHCARE for illegals living in the US… ILLEGALY. Audacious?  Maybe.  But was it a FACTUAL CLAIM??? That’s not a hard thing to fact check, considering Democrats have overwhelmingly gone on record with their stance! Check out this clip that I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks, as shared by Republicans on X. Here’s a full 5+ minutes of Democrats — IN THEIR OWN WORDS — proving exactly what they tried to whitewash in the media as just another ‘conspiracy theory’. And like almost all of those ‘theories’… this one has been proven out to be conspiratorial, but far more FACTUAL then THEORY. This is the last thing they want you to remember right now; and that’s the very reason I’m bringing it up. Check this out: WATCH: 5 minutes of Democrats fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. This is why Democrats shut down the government. pic.twitter.com/1zDAxq4G93 — GOP (@GOP) October 8, 2025 And for convenience, here’s the full screen version of that spectacularly TRUTHFUL video from YouTube: I would encourage you to watch that entire video, because the media did a stellar job 6 weeks ago of avoiding airing anything like this. Even with the Trump Administration going on a social media blitz in an attempt to draw attention to the reality… The blanket coverage of most left-leaning media was ferociously painting the Republican claim as the political version of “Nu-uh, you did”. But the reality, as shown in that one video, and which the Trump Administration consistently argued… was far more substantial against the Democrats than the media would ever admit. In the world of politics, there are often nuances that need to be taken into account in order to get the REAL story beneath the story that is presented. But not so much in this instance.  (At least, not once you see behind the veil of how state OPERATED and federally FUNDED healthcare for illegals actually played out.) And wouldn’t you know it — those left-leaning media outlets that toted the Democrat’s line, claiming they weren’t trying to get Republicans to give FREE HEALTHCARE to illegals…? They are still holding the line on that point, even with Democrats caught on record over and over again saying the quiet part out loud. But they are now admitting the other reason — that the shutdown was also tied to keeping the most radical wing of the Democrat base enraged against President Trump in order to bolster the turnout in last week’s elections. You don’t say! Check out this SUDDENLY TRUTHFUL report admitting it all, from NBC News: Democrats shut down the federal government to secure a key demand: extending health care subsidies for millions of Americans. After a more than 40-day standoff, they threw in the towel — with no guarantee from Republicans that they would agree to renew the expiring Obamacare tax credits. Progressive activists and their Democratic allies in Congress, who had wanted the party to fight on longer, decried it as a monumental “cave” to an authoritarian in Donald Trump. While emotions are raw and finger-pointing rampant in the wake of the deal, the Democratic Party was unified during most of the record shutdown, which is now in its 43rd day, demonstrating for the first time it could take on Trump, rev up the progressive base and turn out voters at the polls, as it did in this month’s elections. “I think the Democrats did … some of the best messaging I think we’ve ever had in terms of talking about affordability and talking about health insurance,” said Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who voted against reopening the government. “And I think that was the reason why you saw the results coming in, in New Jersey and Virginia, and that you saw that the polling was going our way.” (Emphasis added.) In reality, the Democrat’s initial line of attack for funding healthcare for illegal aliens proved completely unreasonable. Their fallback position ended up being an attempt to make the shutdown all about simply standing up to President Trump. Intended as proof to the radical base that they were challenging the one they’d spent months (years?) calling ‘Hitler’ and ‘Nazi’. But, still, Democrats eventually had to cave to the so-called “Nazi”, which required a NEW fallback political position. And that came in the form of assuming that everyone would probably blame the Trump Administration and Republicans ANYWAY. Except, that was more of a hope and dream than a realistic strategy — as explained perfectly by Rep. Nick Freitas in this clip shared on X: Apparently our “suffering” is their “leverage.” pic.twitter.com/7ZcKh9ZQop — Nick Freitas (@NickJFreitas) October 23, 2025 And the crazy part is the Democrat leadership should have KNOWN their political spin wasn’t working as early as 2 weeks into the shutdown! Check out this clip from nearly a month ago when President Trump’s Sec. of Transportation asked ‘average Americans’ going about their business at an airport what they really thought about the shutdown. The jig was already up.  Almost no one was buying the Democrats claim that REPUBLICANS had shut down the government. And here was the EARLY proof that the Democrats ignored… because they simply didn’t have anything substantial to go with: I asked average Americans at the airport what they think about the Schumer-Jeffries Shutdown. The takeaway words: “UNFAIR”“TERRIBLE”“DEVASTATING” This is a must-watch for Democrats. pic.twitter.com/orHYaOqkTF — Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) October 16, 2025 And now? Now… the handful of Democrats in the Senate who just voted with Republicans to end the shutdown are going with a new tagline. Again, they’re trying to justify shutting down large portions of the government by twisting it into some sort of ‘win’. Now they’re claiming they did it for the federal employees who were laid off during the shutdown. Did you catch that? The Democrats who just voted with Republicans to end the shutdown are trying to say that the shutdown they caused… IS ULTIMATELY A WIN for them… because they ‘forced’ the White House to restore those employees who were laid off during the shutdown (that they caused…). That’s a bit like tanking the job market, and claiming a ‘win’ because a few of them manage to come back. But that’s actually the logic they’re going with, according to this from The Hill: Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), who nearly a decade ago served as Hillary Clinton’s running mate when she lost the presidency to Donald Trump, was the eighth Democratic senator to back a centrist deal the Senate is set to approve Monday that is likely to soon end the longest shutdown in American history. Kaine’s top priority was to protect thousands of federal workers the Trump administration was attempting to fire during the government closure. “We had a caucus meeting at 6 [p.m.]. … I walked in just with a deadpan face and they’re like, ‘What’s going on?’ I said, ‘We got the language we need,’” he said. Democrats are likely to battle for months over the decisions made by seven Democrats and Independent Sen. Angus King (Maine), who caucuses with Democrats, to back a deal that does nothing to extend subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that are set to expire at the end of the year. Thune did promise a Senate vote on the health care subsidies issue as part of the package, but there’s no guarantee an extension will pass the Senate or get a vote in the House. King said it became increasingly clear as the shutdown dragged on for weeks that Republicans would not agree to extend the ObamaCare subsidies. “The position the Republicans have been taking all along is, ‘we’re not going to negotiate about the ACA as long as the government is shut down.’ Maybe in the first week, we weren’t so sure they were for real. In the second week, third, fourth, fifth, sixth week, it became clear that the [Democratic] strategy wasn’t working. They weren’t going to come back and say, ‘We want to do something on the ACA,’” King explained. In backing the deal, the Democrats abandoned Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) strategy of keeping the government shut down to win major health care concessions. (Emphasis added.) So in a nutshell, the Democrats shut down the government initially because they had painted themselves into a corner. They couldn’t FORCE Republicans to fund their state operated (federally funded…) HEALTCHARE FOR ILLEGALS plan. Check out my previous story on that for a little more depth, where I split the proverbial hairs and find out EXACTLY the game the Democrats were playing, here: Nancy Pelosi Comes UNHINGED as Narrative Collapses: “Tell Them to Go F**K Themselves” And then, the shutdown became about creating enough anti-Trump rage among the radical left... in order for socialists like Mamdani to win last Tuesday's elections. Check. And then?  Then, the Democrat leadership had to find some way to get out of the losing pit they'd dug for themselves and try not to look as foolish -- or as DECEITFUL -- as they have been in reality. So 43 days in, they abandoned any real hope of FORCING Republicans to subsidize Obamacare. They have abandoned their initial ridiculous attempt at trying to salvage their somewhat-covert and federally funded HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGALS scams operating at the state level. And now, they're simply claiming they stuck up for the federal employees that were laid off -- because of the shutdown caused by DEMOCRATS, which they're counting on being blamed on President Trump. And they're hoping no one pays attention to that complete lack of reason or logic. Not a good look, Dems. But then again... it's been awhile since the last time that happened.  

Always read the fine print. As it turns out, the Senate-approved funding bill to end the government shutdown includes a very interesting provision… It would allow the eight Senators who were spied on by the Biden FBI and Jack Smith during the infamous ‘Arctic Frost’ probe to sue the federal government for a whopping $500K for each violation. BREAKING: The government funding bill that will be voted on tonight allows Republicans to sue over the Biden FBI and Jack Smith spying on Senate Republicans, with each senator eligible to receive $500,000. — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) November 12, 2025 As a refresher, the eight GOP senators who had their phone records illegally seized by the Biden FBI were: Lindsey Graham Bill Hagerty Josh Hawley Dan Sullivan Tommy Tuberville Ron Johnson Cynthia Lummis Marsha Blackburn Keep in mind that the lawsuit lets each senator sue for $500K per violation, not per person. CBS News provided more details: The language in the new legislation requires service providers to alert Senate offices and the Senate sergeant at arms if federal law enforcement requests senators’ data, and says a court cannot delay the notification unless the senator is the target of a criminal investigation. The bill further states: “Any Senator whose Senate data, or the Senate data of whose Senate office, has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed, or disclosed in violation of this section may bring a civil action against the United States if the violation was committed by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States or of any Federal department or agency.” The bill says senators are entitled to $500,000 for each violation of the notification provisions, and it prevents the government from invoking several types of immunity to rebut the claims. Suits can be brought up to five years after a senator is first made aware of a violation, and allows senators to bring suits for any instances that occurred after January 2022. The FBI analyzed the senators’ call records in 2023, meaning they could bring lawsuits under the legislation. The government can defend against a suit by asserting that a senator was a target of a criminal investigation and by showing that a required notification about the records being pursued was delayed under a court order. Sen. Lindsey Graham claims there were multiple violations against him. So, if this passes, he alone could sue the government for millions of dollars! Both House Democrats and Republicans are criticizing this provision as a mere cash-grab.

Each senator can get $500,000 THOUSAND. “It’s on page 217-229 of the funding bill. Senators can sue the federal government using taxpayer money if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them.” I don’t always agree with Hakeem Jeffries, but he’s not entirely wrong in that clip above (also, notice how he never denies the spying itself happened…) Don’t get me wrong: what the Biden FBI and Jack Smith did was very wrong and very illegal. The Operation Arctic Frost scandal makes Watergate look like a parking ticket. But, it appears like all this provision does is allow Senators to collect millions of dollars from the government in taxpayer money. Exactly this: So they get $500,000 of MY tax dollars because someone spied on them? The ONLY way this is okay is if the money comes from the people that did the spying. Otherwise it’s just a money grab on the backs of the taxpayers. So much for a clean CR. — Beekman (@BeekmanNoCo) November 12, 2025 Wouldn’t it be better to, you know, prosecute Jack Smith and the other actors involved in ‘Arctic Frost’ directly? Several House Republicans are rightfully furious that the Senate tacked this onto the so-called “clean CR” bill at the last minute and want it removed. But of course, to do so would mean that the bill would have to get sent back to the Senate again, which would delay re-opening the government. Fox News reported: Three House Republicans voiced frustration over a last-minute provision added to the Senate-passed government funding bill that would retroactively allow senators targeted in the “Arctic Frost” investigation to sue the U.S. government for at least $500,000 each. Reps. Chip Roy, R-Texas, Morgan Griffith, R-Va., and Austin Scott, R-Ga., criticized the Senate provision Tuesday evening during a House Rules Committee hearing. Scott was first to highlight the provision, which states that “any Senator whose Senate data, or the Senate data of whose Senate office, has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed, or disclosed in violation of this section may bring a civil action against the United States if the violation was committed by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States or of any federal department or agency.” Each violation would be worth at least $500,000, along with attorney fees, litigation costs and any additional relief granted by the court. Scott said that as soon as he found out about the provision, he started asking questions. “This language did not go through any committee markup. This language was not shared with the House of Representatives prior to it being put in the bill,” explained the Georgia congressman. “And I personally agree that it should be removed.” Roy said he shares Scott’s concerns and doesn’t think the provision should have been inserted. “It certainly shouldn’t have been inserted at the eleventh hour without deliberation and back and forth,” he argued. “There were Democrats and Republicans involved with it. But look, I think there’s gonna be a lot of people, if they look and understand this, they’re going to see it as a self-serving, self-dealing kind of stuff. And I don’t think that’s right.”
