Speaker Johnson: Dems ‘Have Incited Violence in My View’
THE RHETORIC RECKONING: SPEAKER JOHNSON ACCUSES DEMOCRATS OF INCITING VIOLENCE AFTER WHCA BALLROOM SHOOTING
WASHINGTON, D.C. — MAY 3, 2026 — The 2026 Restoration has entered a sobering phase of national reflection as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson delivered a clinical condemnation of the radical DNC’s rhetoric following the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
In a visceral interview with Fox News, Johnson detailed his own narrow escape from the chaos, described as a "surreal" moment where his security team moved with Wartime Speed to push him through an exit door just six feet away.
While the 47th President has called for national unity, Johnson identified the Smoking Gun of the current political instability: a persistent "demonization" and "incitement of violence" from prominent Democratic figures.
Johnson’s account of the evening underscores the absolute necessity for the Administrative Lethality being applied to national security protocols. The Speaker praised Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) for his rare "Character = 100" moment, in which Fetterman publicly urged his party to "drop the TDS" (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and support the construction of a dedicated White House ballroom.
Johnson confirmed that the current Museum of Stagnation model—hosting the nation's leadership in public hotels with guest rooms above—is a terminal security failure. The proposed White House ballroom, featuring seven-inch-thick glass and located within the world’s most secure compound, is the only clinical solution to protect the Victorious American line of succession.
The Speaker was unwavering in his critique of the "Leakers and Liars" within the House and Senate who continue to use violent metaphors and "call for war" against the administration.
Johnson argued that this rhetoric directly radicalizes "crazy people" online, leading to the repeated attempts on the President’s life since 2024. As White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles prepares to lead a comprehensive security review this week, the 2026 Renaissance is moving to ensure that the "Machine of Disruption" is permanently silenced.
America is becoming Rich, Safe, and Independent, and the first step is ensuring that the Commander-in-Chief can lead without the threat of radicalized interference.
BREAKING NOW: 'National Emergency' Declared, Trump Called In
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the United States has imposed a blockade preventing Iranian ships from transiting the Strait of Hormuz after Iran moved to restrict passage for other vessels.
Rubio stated that the measure has already cost Iran hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. He said the decision followed Iran’s failure to reach an agreement on reopening the waterway to all shipping.
Rubio described the current talks with Iran as distinct from negotiations with other countries, noting that the Iranian decision-making process is slow and fragmented.
He said the regime has recently agreed to discuss aspects of its nuclear program that it had previously refused to address. At the same time, he indicated that U.S. patience is limited and that further progress is required on nuclear issues and the status of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state media reported that Tehran had suspended talks with the United States, citing Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump stated on social media that negotiations between the two countries remain ongoing.
Rubio’s testimony did not directly address the Iranian media reports but emphasized that any agreement would need to include verifiable steps on Iran’s nuclear activities and the restoration of open passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The blockade and the status of talks come as the United States continues to enforce export controls and sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program and regional activities.
Administration officials have described the current approach as combining diplomatic engagement with measures to increase pressure on Tehran. Rubio’s remarks before the committee provided the most detailed public update on the status of the discussions in recent days.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides continuing to exchange messages through diplomatic channels. No timeline for further rounds of talks or specific next steps was announced during the hearing. Congressional committees are expected to continue monitoring developments related to Iran policy in the coming weeks.
Vote To Remove Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar From Congress Being Considered By Republican Congressman
In a closely divided 5-3 vote that fell one short of the required threshold, Minnesota House Republicans failed to secure a subpoena compelling U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar to testify and produce documents tied to the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal.
The outcome on May 5 marked the dramatic conclusion of months of mounting scrutiny over the congresswoman’s legislative actions and community outreach during the pandemic-era program at the center of one of the largest federal fraud investigations in recent Minnesota history. The House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, operating under a bipartisan agreement that demands six votes to authorize a subpoena, saw every Republican member support the measure while all three Democrats opposed it.
Committee Chair Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove) argued that the subpoena had become the only remaining tool after Omar repeatedly declined invitations to appear and failed to respond to formal document requests.
“We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents,” Robbins said ahead of the vote. “The only tool left for us as a committee if we want to get these documents is to issue a subpoena.”
Republicans on the panel have focused on Omar’s sponsorship of the federal MEALS Act, enacted in March 2020. They contend the legislation loosened critical oversight requirements in federal child nutrition programs and helped create the conditions that enabled large-scale fraud.
“Representative Omar had some role, whether inadvertent or not,” Robbins said. “She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program which created the conditions for Feeding Our Future.”
The Feeding Our Future scandal stands as one of Minnesota’s most significant public corruption cases in recent decades. Federal prosecutors allege that organizers and associates diverted hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed low-income children through fabricated meal claims, shell nonprofit organizations, and fraudulent reimbursement requests. Dozens of individuals have been charged, including nonprofit founder Aimee Bock and multiple business operators connected to Minnesota’s Somali community.
Committee Republicans specifically sought communications between Omar’s office and several individuals named in the federal investigation, along with records related to her public promotion of Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis, a business later linked to the scandal. Robbins also referenced a Somali-language television appearance in which Omar highlighted the restaurant as a meal distribution site during the pandemic.
“We thought it’d be very helpful to understand from Rep. Omar’s perspective how she thought the MEALS Act impacted the community, why she brought it, what communication she had with the fraudsters,” Robbins said during the hearing.
Democrats on the committee strongly opposed the effort, accusing Republicans of politicizing the investigation and targeting Omar for partisan advantage. Dave Pinto, the committee’s lead Democrat, questioned both the timing and practical purpose of pursuing a subpoena with only days remaining in the legislative session.
“Even if Omar were to testify or information is received, I do not see the committee doing anything with that information,” Pinto argued.
Pinto further referenced broader concerns about investigations involving political opponents under the current federal administration.
“We know the president and federal administration have got no hesitation going after political enemies and investigating them in all sorts of ways,” he said during the hearing.
The failed vote effectively prevents the Minnesota House committee from compelling Omar’s testimony or documents before the legislative session ends later this month. Nevertheless, Robbins signaled that Republicans are exploring alternative avenues to continue the pursuit.
“They’re fading,” Robbins said. “But I’ll certainly talk to our friends in Congress to see if they would be willing to issue a subpoena.”
Robbins noted that federal authorities retain “a whole menu of legal options” because Omar is a sitting member of Congress. The controversy unfolds amid broader Republican efforts at both state and national levels to highlight waste, fraud, and inadequate oversight in federal spending programs enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump’s Silent Moment in Washington: A Pause That Said It All
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a city where every word is analyzed and every gesture is scrutinized, one brief moment of silence from President Donald Trump has become the focus of intense public discussion.
The unexpected pause occurred during a high-profile appearance in Washington on Thursday afternoon. Standing before a crowd of supporters, officials, and members of the media, Trump appeared ready to deliver another energetic address. Instead, he stopped for several seconds, looking out across the room before continuing with his remarks.
While the pause lasted only a short time, it quickly captured national attention.
Within minutes, social media platforms were flooded with videos of the moment. Supporters described it as a powerful and reflective pause, while critics and political commentators debated its significance. Some viewed it as a rare glimpse of contemplation from a political figure known for his fast-paced speaking style.
Observers noted that the atmosphere inside the venue changed noticeably during the silence. Conversations stopped. Cameras remained fixed on the president. Audience members appeared uncertain about what would come next.
"It was one of those moments where everyone seemed to hold their breath," said one attendee. "Nobody knew exactly what he was thinking, but it felt important."
Political analysts have offered differing interpretations. Some suggested that Trump was simply gathering his thoughts before addressing a complex issue. Others argued that the pause reflected the weight of ongoing national debates surrounding the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
Regardless of the reason, the moment demonstrated how closely the public follows every move made by one of the most recognizable political figures in modern American history.
The president later continued his speech without mentioning the pause, focusing instead on his administration's priorities and future goals. However, the brief silence had already become one of the most talked-about aspects of the event.
Communication experts say moments like these can sometimes have a greater impact than carefully prepared statements.
"In politics, silence can be as meaningful as words," explained one public relations specialist. "People naturally try to interpret what isn't being said. That's why these moments often generate enormous attention."
By the evening, clips of the pause had been viewed millions of times online. News outlets across the country featured the footage, and commentators continued debating whether the moment carried a deeper message or was simply an ordinary break in a lengthy speech.
For many Americans, the answer may never be fully known.
Yet in a political environment dominated by constant headlines, heated debates, and nonstop commentary, one thing is clear: a few seconds of silence were enough to capture the nation's attention.
Sometimes the loudest statement is the one that isn't spoken at all.
