MAGA firebrand Congressman Randy Fine, R-Fla., warned the U.S. must stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons as he cautioned America is losing the battle against radical Islam and must stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News Digital, he weighed in on the debate over whether Rep. Ilhan Omar D-Minn., should be deported after the recent announcement by Tom Homan that the Department of Homeland Security was investigating the congresswoman. "If she engaged in immigration fraud, she should be deported. And by the way, as should anyone who engaged in immigration fraud . And look, the woman is enmeshed. She's bathed in fraud. I think the best example that we know is fraud is when she said she made 30 million dollars, which she either did and then lied about it and said she didn't make it, or she made it up in the first place," he claimed.

"And all at once, summer collapsed into fall…" – Oscar Wilde Congress certainly collapsed into fall this year. It lacked the usual mayhem of an imminent government shutdown for the first time in years. The government is usually only funded through September 30, the end of the federal fiscal year. Lawmakers solved that fiscal riddle early. So the beginning of fall in Congress is usually anything but enjoyable. Others are devouring cobbler, enjoying spiced pumpkin lattes and viewing leaves of amber. When a government shutdown looms, the infernality of summer continues to stew on Capitol Hill. Imagine simmering political temperatures mixed with boiling urban concrete and a soupçon of petrichor. That epitomizes the customary fall tension in the halls of Congress when lawmakers are on the precipice of a shutdown. But this year is different. TRUMP SIGNS GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL, AVOIDING A SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF MIDTERMS No shutdown. That’s a good thing, considering last year’s 43-day s...
