President Joe Biden will appear before the nation Wednesday night, delivering his first live remarks after announcing that he would not seek reelection.

The president hasn’t made live appearances since his COVID-19 diagnosis last Wednesday. The Hill reported he is in insolation at his Rehoboth Beach, Del., home.

He will be returning to the White House Tuesday afternoon before his public address to the country.

Biden’s trip to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library to remark on the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act has been rescheduled for Monday, according to the White House.

It has been a reckoning for this Biden/Harris campaign after his debate with former President Donald Trump. Trump’s attempted assassination may have ever contributed to the dwindling faith in the President. After pressure from Democrats, Biden announced Sunday that he would not seek election., endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

Support for Harris among Democrats has begun to consolidate, with enough delegates onboard for her to become the nominee, according to The Hill.

Surrogates of Biden told Politico he intends to finish his term. Still, Republicans continue to push for the president to resign, but now without pushback from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

“The president decided to not run for reelection. That’s it. That’s all he decided on. He wants to continue to do the work. He wants to continue to do the works,” Jean-Pierre said on ABC’s “The View.”

Vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and other leading Republicans have pushed that if Biden is not going to run for reelection, he is also unfit to lead the country.

Carol Miller Backs Warrantless Spying on American Citizens With FISA Vote https://nationalfile.com/carol-miller-backs-warrantless-spying-on-american-citizens-with-fisa-vote/ Wed, 17 Apr 2024 17:49:10 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68972 Last Updated on April 17, 2024

West Virginia Rep. Carol Miller (R-1) voted in Congress for uni-party legislation to reauthorize the federal government’s unconstitutional and illegal warrantless spying under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act which, unlike the name would imply, is frequently used to spy on American citizens deemed political enemies of the deep state, including President Trump and his 2016 campaign. And Miller didn’t stop there. After voting to reauthorize the deep state’s spying spree, she reassembled with her uni-party colleagues to block a motion to reconsider the vote, thereby streamlining the legislation to the Senate, which is fully expected to send it to Joe Biden’s desk for a rubber stamp.

H.R. 7888 has reauthorized the FBI’s warrantless spying on American citizens for at least another two years after GOP Speaker of the House Mike Johnson called upon the old Kevin McCarthy coalition and their faithful Democrat counterparts to get the bill rammed through with 147 Republicans and 126 Democrats supporting the FISA renewal.

Among those voting in support of giving federal authorities a key to the private conversations and personal information of American citizens, no warrant required, was West Virginia GOP Rep. Carol Miller, whose 1st District constituency is one of the most pro-Trump political subdivisions in the entire country.

President Trump who, as mentioned, has himself been a victim of the Stalinist FISA program, took to Truth Social ahead of the H.R. 7888 vote to call on members of Congress, like Carol Miller, to “KILL FISA,” reminding them that the program was used to spy on his 2016 presidential campaign in a naked effort to use the federal government’s wide-reaching, self-bestowed powers to rig the election – but to no avail.

Trump Truth on FISA

Now, in the wake of the vote, House Republicans are facing massive backlash from their constituents, and calls are growing for Speaker Mike Johnson to face the same Motion to Vacate fate as his predecessor.

But Carol Miller is doubling down on her support of Johnson’s uni-party-dictated legislative program.

Miller, who faithfully stood beside disgraced ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy through his 15 speakership votes and eventual removal, lauded his replacement in a post she made to X, writing that Speaker Johnson “has led the House of Representatives with strength and determination,” and adding that she supports him “wholeheartedly.”

Carol Miller Mike Johnson

On the contrary, Miller’s primary opponent in the 1st District, Derrick Evans, a former J6 political prisoner, has spent the days following H.R. 7888’s passing ripping into the House GOP and has pegged Miller’s vote for the FISA renewal as just the latest in a long line of votes showing she’s “folded on the people of West Virginia.”

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good Endorses Derrick Evans in WV-1 https://nationalfile.com/house-freedom-caucus-chairman-bob-good-endorses-derrick-evans-in-wv-1/ Mon, 01 Apr 2024 16:35:14 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68714 Last Updated on April 1, 2024

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Bob Good (VA-5) has endorsed J6 Patriot and grassroots candidate Derrick Evans for Congress in West Virginia’s 1st District, where Evans is challenging swamp creature incumbent Carol Miller, a war hawk and Bill Gates associate who’s profited on BlackRock and Big Pharma while funding abortion, gun confiscation, and the Green New Deal policies gutting West Virginia’s energy sector.

Rep. Bob Good, the Freedom Caucus Chairman who helped spearhead the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, is wading into the GOP Primary in West Virginia’s 1st Congressional District to back grassroots challenger Derrick Evans. Evans, a J6 Patriot, is looking to unseat incumbent Carol Miller, the scion of a multi-state political family and staunch supporter of Kevin McCarthy, who’s continued pushing the ex-speaker’s uni-party agenda months after his removal and departure from Washington.

“It is my privilege to endorse Derrick Evans for Congress in WV01,” Rep. Bob Good said in endorsing Evans.

“We can not change Washington and save the country by electing the status quo,” Good went on. “We need true, courageous conservative warriors like Derrick Evans!”

In a public statement he made shortly after the endorsement was announced, Derrick Evans said that he and his campaign are “excited” to have Good’s backing in their fight to get proper representation for their very conservative district.

“The lines could not be more clearly drawn: Either you stand with MAGA and the America First movement, or you’re with Carol Miller and Bill Gates, abortion, killing coal, and funding transgender surgeries,” said Evans.

Additionally, in a post he made to X, Derrick Evans wrote that he is “Honored to have the endorsement of House Freedom Caucus Chair – Congressman Bob Good.”

As mentioned, Rep. Good’s endorsement of Derrick Evans comes as incumbent Carol Miller continues voting closely in line with the uni-party agenda of ex-speaker Kevin McCarthy, and with the rest of the GOP establishment that continues exercising a stranglehold over the Republican Party in Congress, holding the will of the American People hostage.

Just recently, Miller was among the 101 Republicans who crossed the aisle to vote with Democrats and fund Joe Biden’s government with another $1.2 trillion – legislation that has since been dubbed the “Swamp Omnibus” and that funds the expansion of transgenderism and abortion while leaving America’s borders open to an invasion.

As National File recently reported:

Among those voting in favor of the legislation, was embattled West Virginia Rep. Carol Miller, an incumbent who’s facing a stiff challenge from the grassroots campaign of J6 Patriot Derrick Evans, and appears to be one of the GOP establishment members most likely to be bounced from Congress this election cycle.

The Swamp Omnibus vote marks just the latest instance of Rep. Carol Miller voting hand-in-hand with Democrats to fund the very government programs that she feigns opposition to on the campaign trail.

Ahead of the upcoming 1st District GOP Primary, Miller has been exposed for not just voting with Democrats on a regular basis, but for profiting off of those votes, raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars on insider trades linked to BlackRock, Big Pharma, and the War Lobby.

She’s also supported gun confiscation and funded Ukraine with more than $40 billion and, much like she did on Friday, she’s voted repeatedly for massive government spending bills that fund the expansion of Democrat pet projects like transgenderism and abortion.

Will Democrats Join The Effort To Oust RINO Mike Johnson? Will Democrats Protect Johnson To Get Ukraine War Money? https://nationalfile.com/will-democrats-join-the-effort-to-oust-rino-mike-johnson-will-democrats-protect-johnson-to-get-ukraine-war-money/ Tue, 26 Mar 2024 21:48:04 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68460 Last Updated on March 26, 2024

Democrats are indicating that they might join Republican efforts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson after Johnson passed a gruesome $1.2 trillion spending bill that provides more money for Ukraine.

Johnson’s cowardice and subversion is not welcome during these dark days. The Democrat-controlled Senate passed a different $95.3 billion war funding bill that hands out astronomical amounts of money to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The America First movement does not want Johnson to pass that bill through the House, because it would essentially trigger World War 3 and lead the world down a dark path of destruction.

Marjorie Taylor Greene began the process of possibly trying to oust Johnson through a motion to vacate, which Matt Gaetz previously used to oust Kevin McCarthy (Greene supported McCarthy at the time). If Greene is actually serious about the motion, then Gaetz, Eli Crane, Lauren Boebert, Byron Donalds and other relatively young members of the Republican caucus should have a serious discussion about it. Technically, it could take only three Republicans to oust Johnson if Democrats join in.

Meanwhile, Business Insider is trying to push the narrative that an attempt to vacate Johnson would lead Democrats to rally around Johnson in exchange for Ukraine War funding. If that happened, then obviously Mike Johnson would rightfully be hated forever by the MAGA base.

Democrat Nancy Pelosi said that Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat House leader, will soon be the next speaker. Pelosi is either saying that Democrats will join in ousting Johnson or she is trying to pressure Johnson into passing Ukraine war funding.

Last time, the chaos went on for 22 days before Johnson weaseled his way into the speakership, deflating our fun and making us go back to the cold reality of being governed by a succession of interchangeable empty suits who give our money away around the world. Sad!

Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) was among the 101 Republican defectors who voted with Democrats to fund the Biden government and its pet projects, like expanding transgenderism and abortion, to the tune of another $1.2 trillion, while leaving America’s borders wide open to an unmitigated invasion.

The GOP establishment joined forces with Congressional Democrats on Friday, to hold a last-minute rush job of a vote before the beginning of the weekend, funding the Biden Regime with another $1.2 trillion through what has been dubbed the “Swamp Omnibus” bill. Among those voting in favor of the legislation, was embattled West Virginia Rep. Carol Miller, an incumbent who’s facing a stiff challenge from the grassroots campaign of J6 Patriot Derrick Evans, and appears to be one of the GOP establishment members most likely to be bounced from Congress this election cycle.

Still, Miller routinely votes with Democrats.

Mike Johnson Faces Motion to Vacate After Funding Open Borders, Transgenderism, Abortion https://nationalfile.com/mike-johnson-faces-motion-to-vacate-after-funding-open-borders-transgenderism-abortion/ Fri, 22 Mar 2024 21:26:15 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68323 Last Updated on March 22, 2024

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to vacate the chair of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson after he and 100 of his fellow Republicans joined with Democrats to suspend the House Rules to pass a last-minute bill funding the Biden Regime. The legislation fails to secure America’s borders while funding transgenderism, abortion, and the DOJ persecutions of American citizens.

Ironically, Rep. Mike Johnson only became Speaker of the House after his predecessor, now-former member of Congress Kevin McCarthy, became the first speaker in American history to be tossed from his chair by way of a motion to vacate – the Jeffersonian parliamentary procedure allowing for a single member of Congress to initiate the removal process, should a majority of members back the effort.

Now, Johnson faces the distinct possibility of joining McCarthy in the garbage pail of American political history, as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair after Johnson and 100 other Republicans crossed the aisle to help Democrats continue funding the federal government.

While Republicans still hold a thin majority in the House, because of a wave of resignations from establishment figures, which has brought the majority down to a razor’s edge, Democrats have effectively seized control of the legislative agenda, because they only need to convince a handful of Republicans to work with them in order to do it – as in the case of the spending bill vote, in which a majority of Republicans voted AGAINST the measure.

“This is a complete betrayal of Republican voters across the country,” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told OAN after filing the motion to vacate.

“I entered the motion to vacate this morning after Mike Johnson brought part 2 of an omnibus to the floor this morning and forced all of us to vote on a bill that would fund abortion up until full term, doesn’t do anything to secure our border – and this comes after people are seeing this video that’s horrifying to every single American where there’s a large group of military-age men, illegals, rushing the border, running over Border Patrol, running over the National Guard.”

“Speaker Johnson totally gave up every ounce of authority he had as House Speaker to use this funding of the government to secure the border for the American People, and it is way past time [to file the motion],” Greene went on to say, before detailing the various House and GOP Conference rules broken by Johnson is rushing the Democrat legislation through Congress.

“He’s basically handed over control to Chuck Schumer,” said Greene.

Israel First: Mike Johnson Inviting Netanyahu to Address Joint Session of Congress https://nationalfile.com/israel-first-mike-johnson-inviting-netanyahu-to-address-joint-session-of-congress/ Thu, 21 Mar 2024 20:13:34 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68311 Last Updated on March 21, 2024

GOP Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson says that he’s planning to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress and Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says that he supports bringing in Netanyahu as well. The prospective Netanyahu speech comes as Israel continues its war effort in Gaza and as the United States continues funding it, much to the satisfaction of both parties and despite widespread concern over the mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians, particularly children, by Israeli forces.

Speaker Mike Johnson, an ardent supporter of Israel who made declaring Congress’s loyalty to the foreign nation his first priority after being elected Speaker of the House, says that he is “certainly” planning to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has seconded the idea.

The prospective invitation comes as the House and Senate try to pass a massive foreign aid bill, stuffed full of $100 billion worth of funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan while leaving America’s southern border wide open and as ranking members of both parties in both the House and the Senate blast the idea of negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza, where tens of thousands of children have been killed and where the ongoing war is threatening to engulf the entire Middle East.

In addition to his calls for Netanyahu to address Congress, Speaker Johnson has been invited to deliver an address of his own to the Israeli Knesset and says that he’s currently working out the scheduling.

The invitation to Netanyahu won’t mark the first time that he’s addressed a Joint Session of the United States Congress, a privilege that was also recently extended to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who showed up in a sweatshirt to demand that the United States do more to support Ukraine’s war effort, and even unfurled a Ukrainian flag from the podium.

In 2015, when Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a joint session, he claimed that Iran was in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon that it would then deploy against Israel, triggering another Holocaust.

“Iran’s supreme leader…spews the oldest hatred of anti-Semitism with the newest technology,” Netanyahu told the joint session at the time, in between his repeated references and inuendos regarding the Holocaust.

Career Politician Carol Devine Miller Continues Ohio Family’s Political Dynasty in West Virginia https://nationalfile.com/career-politician-carol-devine-miller-continues-ohio-familys-political-dynasty-in-west-virginia/ Tue, 19 Mar 2024 18:44:14 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=68245 Last Updated on March 19, 2024

Born to U.S. House Rep. Samuel Devine in Columbus, Ohio, Rep. Carol Miller is the product of a political dynasty that has crossed state lines to take its act to West Virginia, where Miller currently serves as the state’s 1st District Representative to Congress.

Rep. Carol Miller’s father, Samuel Devine, was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio from 1959 until 1980 and before that, he was a Representative in the Ohio State House.

What’s more, is that prior to his decades-long career as a legislator, Samuel Devine worked for infamous cross-dresser and homosexual FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as a special agent.

Carol Miller was first elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 2006, where she became the State House’s first female Majority Whip, as the Republican Party socially liberalized after Barack Obama first won the White House in 2008.

After 12 years in the West Virginia House of Delegates, Carol Miller ran for Congress in 2018, representing West Virginia’s now-defunct 3rd District for two terms, until re-districting and the loss of a Congressional seat led to her election in the newly-redrawn 1st District, in 2022.

Since arriving in Washington, Miller has gotten deeply in bed with the uni-party establishment. She’s supported gun control, abortion, deadly jab mandates, and sending billions of American dollars to Ukraine. She’s also been cited for making hundreds of thousands of dollars on insider stock trades, which include profitable investments in BlackRock, big pharma, and the war lobby.

Throughout her career, Miller has had the backing of conservative women’s groups, despite her support for massive abortion funding.

She was also a staunch supporter of Kevin McCarthy.

Additionally, and as reported by National File, Carol Miller, who’s voted to fund Green New Deal pet projects, has invited globalist billionaire Bill Gates into West Virginia, where he openly admits that he wants to destroy the coal industry, long the lifeblood of the state’s economy, and a driving force behind the United States of America.

And the Devine Family Political Dynasty hasn’t stopped with Carol Miller.

Now, her son, Chris Miller is running for Governor of West Virginia, and trying to position himself as a “Trump Republican” and a member of the MAGA movement.

On his campaign website, Chris Miller is less than forthcoming about his mother Carol’s status as an incumbent Congresswoman in danger of being bounced from office by a grassroots MAGA challenger, Derrick Evans, and Miller doesn’t mention his political family status even once on his campaign landing page.

GOP Speaker of the House Mike Johnson filmed a promotional TikTok video for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) after voting for uni-party legislation to ban the video-sharing app. Members of Congress and various pressure groups like the ADL are calling for the ban, in large part, because TikTok refuses to censor content unflattering to Israel. Opponents of the bill have slammed it as a Trojan horse, and say that it will allow the federal government to ban ANY app or platform that doesn’t enforce their will.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says that he will “apply every amount of pressure” possible to the US Senate as the TikTok ban reaches the upper chamber of the national legislature, but in the meantime, he’s flexing the double standards often carved by both sides of the aisle for Israel and the Israel lobby.

“Hi, this is House Speaker Mike Johnson. I’m here at the AIPAC Conference and we want to emphasize, it has never been more important for the US to stand with our friend and ally Israel,” Johnson said in the TikTok video. “This is an important time on the world stage,” he went on.

“We have to project and maintain peace through strength and we’re gonna intend to do that. The House Republicans stand strong with you. God bless.”

Watch the Mike Johnson-AIPAC TikTok Video Below: 

2024’s AIPAC Conference was an exercise in war-mongering and reminders of the vast, bi-partisan influence that Israel has over the United States.

AIPAC Conference attendees were treated to a special video address from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who praised Joe Biden and the US government “for standing with Israel at all times,” while beating the war drums in search of support for the Israeli invasion of Rafah, the city in southern Gaza that’s been packed full of civilian refugees with nowhere else to go, and where Israel has been ramping up attacks that have slaughtered civilians.

“To win this war, we must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah,” Netanyahu said. “If not, Hamas will regroup, rearm, and reconquer Gaza and then we’re back to square one. And that’s an intolerable threat that we cannot accept.”

War Lobby Mobilizes to Push John McGuire for Congress https://nationalfile.com/war-lobby-mobilizes-to-push-john-mcguire-for-congress/ Fri, 08 Mar 2024 18:00:03 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=67827 Last Updated on March 8, 2024

The war lobby is mobilizing to take down Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Bob Good and install John McGuire in his place in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, with McGuire winning the endorsement of House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers. Among other complaints, McGuire and Rogers say that Rep. Good isn’t doing enough to support forever wars after he helped block Democrat legislation that would send $100 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

“I’m fully endorsing John McGuire for Congress,” Rep. Rogers, the Lockheed Martin-tied Rep. from Alabama, said in a statement. “His military background and service make it clear that he’s committed to protecting this country,” he added, before claiming that Rep. Good, who has stood toe-to-toe with the war lobby to oppose hundreds of billions of dollars in American military and financial aid for Ukraine, “has not delivered for veterans” or “prioritized service members.”

In addition to the endorsement from Rep. Mike Rodgers, McGuire was endorsed by Minnesota Rep. Derrick Van Orden, who’s boasted that he’s been “banned from Russia since 2009 after working on the counter-Russian problem set since 2009 with Special Operations Command Europe.”

“War criminal Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is illegal, and his despicable display of international aggression cannot go unchecked,” Van Orden said in 2023.

McGuire’s run for Congress comes just months after he was elected to the Virginia State Senate and after he assured his supporters that he would not jump ship and run for Congress, as he tried to do before, in Virginia’s 7th District.

McGuire has made his support for the GOP establishment and the war lobby a major theme of his campaign, with he and his surrogates backing both Kevin McCarthy and massive aid to foreign countries.

As National File previously reported: 

In an email sent out by Friends of John McGuire, the candidate’s position on Kevin McCarthy and the GOP establishment was made abundantly clear, as the email blasted Rep. Good for helping spearhead the historic effort to remove Kevin McCarthy from the speakership last year.

In the email, Rep. Good’s actions surrounding the McCarthy speakership were grossly mischaracterized.

“Our current Congressman voted for Kevin McCarthy to be Speaker, then threw a temper tantrum, reversed himself, and allowed the party to fall into chaos, costing us the 2023 elections,” the email reads.

It completely failed to mention the fact that Rep. Good held out on voting for McCarthy until he agreed to remove Nancy Pelosi’s House Rules and bring back the single-member Jeffersonian Motion to Vacate. Good and others who made this happen, assured that when Kevin McCarthy went sideways, he could be gotten rid of.

The email went on to bizarrely blame the removal of Kevin McCarthy for Republican losses in Virginia’s 2023 elections and then blasted Good for not being pro-war enough and doing enough for Israel, while parroting debunked Israeli propaganda claims about the 10/7 Hamas raid on southern Israel.
