Rep Greg Steube was on “National Report” on Newsmax to talk about getting rid of the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act and also fund the DHS.

The Democrats have continued voting to keep the government shutdown. The result has been long lines at airport security due to a lack of funding for DHS.

“We saw what happened in Michigan. We saw what happened at Old Dominion. We see what happened in New York City. The Austin bar. Numerous domestic terror attacks by men that seemed to have been influenced by radical Islam,” Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj said.

“In the meantime, you have Democrats, the political theater, shutting down the Department of Homeland Security,” Lidia Curanaj continued.

“Your thoughts on all of this sir?” Curanaj asked.

“Not to mention the lines at TSA all across the country for everyday Americans just trying to travel and visit their families,” Steube said.

“In the great state of Florida, you have the Coast Guard, that those guys and gals aren’t getting paid,” Steube continued.

“The Coast Guard is a very important piece of our national security and our homeland security, and the security of the State of Florida,” Rep Steube said.

“You’ve got FEMA that’s not being funded. Thank God we are not in hurricane season right now, but you saw there were some tornadoes that hit in parts of our country that doesn’t have money and those people aren’t being paid,” Rep Steube continued.

“Again, you have the Democrats using the appropriations process to shut down provisions of the government,” Steube explained.

“I have called on leader Thune in the Senate since October to nuke the filibuster and fund the federal government. Nuke the filibuster, and pass the SAVE Act,” Rep Steube said of their unwillingness to do so.

Rep Steube criticized the Democrats for their role, but also said Republican leadership in the Senate is to blame since they were unwilling to get rid of the filibuster.

“The American people elected a Republican House, a Republican Senate and Donald Trump in the White House, and they are very frustrated by the fact that Thune has to go to Chuck Schumer to pass a bill to fund the basic elements of the federal government. The Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, FEMA, TSA, and everyday Americans are feeling it right now when they go to the airports,” Rep Steube said.

“They can blame the Democrats for this, but shame on us for not just nuking the filibuster and funding the federal government,” Steube explained.

Parents are outraged after an 18-year-old illegal alien groped over a dozen girls “in between their legs” at a high school in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The alien, identified as Israel Flores Ortiz, is turning 19 soon and is only in the 11th grade.

Why have authorities allowed a 19-year-old man – who is in this country illegally – to sexually assault minor teen girls in the hallways at school for several months??

“There’s a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault,” one mother told 7News.

“It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs,” she said.

“It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months,” she added.

Excerpt from WJLA:

An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school.

7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims’ parents.

Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he’s in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.

On Friday, Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied Ortiz’s request to be released from jail, even after Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office agreed to Ortiz’s bail request. The judge said the proposed bail request didn’t properly protect the public.

About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school’s hallways.

ICE told WJLA reporter Nick Minock that Israel Flores Ortiz illegally entered the US in 2024 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

Flores Ortiz was charged with nine counts of assault and battery – a misdemeanor!

Parents are outraged that Flores Ortiz was not charged with sexual assault.

Sentenced to 20 years in prison, Maxwell is seeking a presidential pardon.

Gmax is still looking for a pardon.

While all around the world the ‘Epstein files’ are causing ripples that affected the life of the rich and powerful, causing from reputational harm to criminal prosecutions, one woman continues to serve her sentence and dream of a pardon.

Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex-trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

But after she collaborated with the DOJ by giving two days of testimony, she was transferred from the hard FCI Tallahassee in Florida to a ‘Club-Fed’ Camp Bryan in Texas.

But she wants more.

She has been trying to overturn her conviction and sentence by filing various appeals, and she is also still seeking a pardon from President Donald J. Trump, according to her lawyer.

Maxwell is portrayed in countless documents, emails and photos from the ‘Epstein files’.

Politico reported:

“The remarks from Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, came during an on-stage conversation at an American Bar Association conference with Barry Pollack, the attorney for another high-profile defendant, deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

During a discussion about their media strategy in which Markus derided reporting about Maxwell’s prison transfer to what some outlets have described as a ‘country club’-like prison facility, Pollack suggested one goal in talking to reporters might be to alter the public perception of a defendant in hopes of leniency from the president.

‘I can imagine, for example, maybe you’re hoping — not in that case, but in a case — to get a presidential pardon or commutation’, Pollack said, at which point Markus interjected with a smirk to say, ‘that case, too’.”

Epstein and Maxwell in one of his planes.

“Pollack continued: ‘and maybe if the public hates your client, thinks that you’ve already gotten a sweetheart deal, it may be politically more difficult for the president to do that. But maybe if you set the record straight a little bit, it’s a little easier’.”
