CNN — The Supreme Court on Friday turned down a request from the Biden administration to enforce parts of a new federal rule meant to protect LGBTQ+ and pregnant students from discrimination in 10 states where the rule was put on hold by federal judges. The court announced its decision in an unsigned order that drew a partial dissent from the court’s three liberals and conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch. The Supreme Court’s order is the latest blow to the Biden administration on the issue, which has suffered a series of setbacks with federal courts blocking a rule that was intended...

CNN destroyed Kamala Harris’s Soviet-style price controls proposal and said it would lead to higher prices and shortages. Kamala Harris traveled to North Carolina on Friday to announce a Communist-style price control scheme to combat the inflation crisis she created. Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’ The IRA made inflation unbearable for Americans. Food prices are skyrocketing because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden recently turned his ire toward grocers and said he is going to send state attorneys general after them for price gouging. Grocers are not price gouging. The annual profits for...

A Thursday evening CNN panel devolved into a heated argument after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) repeatedly mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harris’s name. Mace mispronounced Harris’s first name a few times during the interview, with various other guests correcting her. But things became more heated as the discussion went on. After author and professor Michael Eric Dyson said former President Trump was playing reruns with his campaign statements. Mace quickly clapped back. “Talk about reruns, Kamala’s—Kamala’s,” Mace began, saying the vice president’s name correctly the first time but mispronouncing it the second time. Mace was interrupted by former Clinton White House...

CNN — Kamala Harris is officially the Democratic presidential nominee, but Donald Trump is continuing to describe the vice president’s elevation to the top of her party’s ticket as “unconstitutional” and accusing her of taking part in a “coup.” No serious effort to challenge Harris’ status as the Democratic nominee is underway. But some of Trump’s critics warn that the former president could be laying the groundwork to question the outcome of the 2024 election if he loses a second time. Democrats are set to gather next week in Chicago for a national convention at which they’ll rally around Harris...

In an article published by Newsweek on August 7, 2024, Dan Gooding AND Billal Rahman make some incendiary claims. From the article: Immigration into the United States is being partly driven by gun violence — which itself is fueled by firearms bought in the U.S. and illegally transported back to Mexico by organized crime networks. Over 200,000 firearms found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico between 2015 and 2022 were linked back to the U.S., recent data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) shows.The 200,000 number seemed interesting. This correspondent went to the ATF website...

You know it’s bad when CNN is starting to ask questions about Kamala Harris’s refusal to engage with the media. Kamala Harris has not done one interview or press conference since she forced Joe Biden off the 2024 ballot 25 days ago. All she has done is repeat the same teleprompter speech over and over again. Harris doesn’t even have any policies on her campaign website because Americans are unhappy with the Biden-Harris inflation crisis and open borders nightmare. This is why Harris stole President Trump’s ‘no tax on tips’ idea. Kamala Harris is hiding from the media again as...

The Trump = Hitler analogy is getting old. We've been in desperate need of some fresh material! Unsurprisingly, Trump-loathing journalist David Frum appeared on CNN This Morning today to supply it. Frum dug up, and approvingly quoted, this line from Republican consultant Mike Murphy -- or to be completely up to date, "Republican Voters Against Trump" consultant Mike Murphy. "Asking Donald Trump to talk about policy, it's like teaching Charles Manson to foxtrot. He can manage a step or two, but then he's going to put a pencil in your eye, because he's Charles Manson. And Donald Trump is Donald...

Tuesday, during a segment on CNN, network data analyst Harry Enten downplayed the polling enthusiasm for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. According to Enten, if the margin of error from 2016 and 2020 is factored in for battleground states, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump still has an advantage. “Yes, right, exactly. I mean the thing that – we put out those poll numbers yesterday,” he said. “You know, The New York Times, Sienna College, we covered them. I showed you the Ipsos polling. All of which that showed Kamala Harris with clear momentum, enthusiasm potentially on her side. But I...

CNN's top polling analyst admitted that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is doing much better than current polling suggests, similar to the scenario that unfolded before he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Kamala Harris's honeymoon bounce in the polls has Democrats excited for the first time in a long time in this election. Even with that surge of enthusiasm, she's still only managing to take a small lead within the margin of error in the RealClearPolitics average. Nevertheless, her position appears to be much stronger than Joe Biden's but, CNN's Harry Enten is warning them that Harris doesn't have the election in the bag — not by a long shot. To explain why, he looked at battleground state polling in the previous two election cycles to see how far off they were...

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol will hold its ninth hearing next week, and it will likely be the panel’s last before releasing its final report by the end of the year. The Jan. 6 committee will reconvene publicly at 1 p.m. EDT on Sept. 28 and is expected to feature “substantial footage” of the Capitol riot and “significant witness testimony” that has not been previously seen, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said on Tuesday. The hearing comes as the panel is racing to finalize its report on its yearlong investigation into the events leading up...

Hamas has rejected hostage talks that were set for this week, hours after CNN published a poorly-sourced article claiming that the terrorist group was serious about a deal but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not. Axios.com reported (original emphasis): Hamas announced on Sunday that it rejects the invitation by the U.S., Qatar and Egypt for a final round of negotiations over the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal planned for Thursday. Why it matters: Hamas’ announcement is a significant setback for the Biden administration’s efforts to reach a hostage and ceasefire deal and prevent the Gaza conflict from escalating into...

Donald Trump did something Kamala Harris has failed to do since she ripped the 2024 Democratic nomination away from Joe Biden: answered questions from the press. The event, held at Mar-a-Lago, featured Trump ripping into Harris’ intelligence, announcing three dates for debates with the vice president, and warning how the nation is on the verge of economic disaster if Kamala wins in November. The media tried to fact-check the president, and it devolved into such a ticky-tack game of linguistic nonsense that it only served as yet another reminder of why these clowns are mocked and distrusted. First, CNN tried...

What had been obvious “to the rest of us” for years, is finally official: late last night, shares of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent of CNN and TNT, crashed 10% to the lowest level on record after it reported dire results, which missed across the board and plunged across every income statement category… … but the biggest hit – and surprise – was the company’s stunning $9.1 billion charge taken to write down the value of its traditional TV networks, such as CNN and TNT, which were acquired in 2022 when Warner Bros Discovery was created as part of its...

If this is the best that Dem MSM hacks can come up with to defend Tim Walz's claim that he carried weapons "in war," Kamala Harris's VP pick could be in some real trouble. On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt put it to former Hillary spokesperson Karen Finney, now a CNN commentator: "So, Karen, Walz did say that I carried in war. And we do know that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it, with these types of weapons." Finney latched like a drowning woman onto Hunt's mention of...

Longtime CNN host Chris Cillizza has broken from his media counterparts, calling attention to Vice President Kamala Harris‘ “basement strategy” following her newly announced running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Cillizza noted that Harris’ goal to bolster the Democrat ticket has come amid concerns about her apparent reluctance to engage directly with the media.

CNN appeared eager to console viewers on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to botch what would be her first governing decision by selecting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate, surprising observers. The frontrunner had been Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), a moderate governor from a swing state. Expectations had been set when the Harris campaign set the rollout of her running mate for Tuesday evening in Philadelphia. But the party’s anti-Israel, left-wing base had made it clear that it rejected Shapiro, not only because of his pro-Israel views, but also because he is Jewish —...

Lynne Russell, a longtime CNN anchor, made headlines after being listed as the lead plaintiff in a massive Second Amendment challenge in our nation’s capital. Russell is now waging war against D.C.’s prohibition concerning “off-body” carrying of firearms and weapons.

For years, former CNN Anchor Lynne Russell was the familiar face of Headline News for the country. She may soon be making headlines again as the lead plaintiff in what could prove a major Second Amendment challenge in Washington, D.C. Russell is challenging the city’s prohibition on “off-body” carrying of weapons, including keeping a handgun in a purse. That type of off-body carry is precisely what may have saved Russell’s life in a shootout with an armed assailant in 2015. Russell’s nightmare began when the armed assailant grabbed her outside of their motel in Albuquerque, New Mexico and forced her...

Saturday on CNN’s “Smerconish” a video was played showing multiple black men in a Dauphin County, PA barbershop questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris is black. CBS reporter Joel Smith asked, “Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?” One of the men asked, “Hold on is Kamala black, yes or no?” A man next to him said, “I’ll let her speak on that, but to me, no.” Another man in the group said, “I share that same view.” A fourth man said, “I heard she wasn’t. I heard she’s half black and...
