    Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said downplaying or diminishing the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is something that "could never have happened" during his time at the network. "Fox News is a different place than it was when I was there," O'Reilly said Tuesday evening while appearing on Dan Abrams' primetime show on NewsNation. “I don’t follow it that that closely anymore, but when I was there, there was a discipline from management that diminishing the Capitol riot could never have happened. And I'll state that firmly on the record.” O'Reilly had joined Abrams'...

  • Trump campaign fires back after Obama claims credit for economic boom

    The Trump campaign fired back Monday after former President Barack Obama, in a subtle swipe at President Trump, claimed credit for the economic gains in both their terms. Obama tweeted Monday morning to note the anniversary of his signing the 2009 economic stimulus package. “Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history,” Obama tweeted, alongside a photo of his signature on the bill. ~snip~ But the Trump campaign, in...

    The most important man in President Trump’s life right now is William Barr, the Attorney General of the United States. Yet, Mr. Trump may not understand that. However, the hate-Trump media brigades certainly do. If Mr. Barr were to turn against the President, his re-election chances would be damaged. Significantly. That’s because William Barr is a tough, honest prosecutor who is trying to uphold the crucial constitutional mandate of “equal justice for all.” That means a corrupt media is not the dispenser of justice, nor is a sitting President who may have a personal agenda. The latest controversy over Roger...
  • Brokaw on Sanders’ 2020 Chances: ‘Really Hard to See’ How People Will Say ‘I’m for Socialism’

    During the roundtable discussion segment of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” former “Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw admitted his skepticism of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) chances at the presidency, especially with the success of the economy. Brokaw said he did not see how anyone would say they were for socialism, given the nation’s current economic position. “I think, Chuck, that frankly among younger voters that’s a possibility for him. But with a strong economy, it’s really hard to see how a lot of people will step up and say, ‘I’m for socialism."

    Fox News contributor Dan Bongino pushed back Monday on Sen. Bernie Sanders calling President Trump "an idiot" for denying the effects of climate change. Bongino responded with laughter on "Fox & Friends," accusing the Democratic senator from Vermont of believing in the "money fairy" for proposing a "Medicare-for-all" plan that he estimates will cost up to $40 trillion over a 10-year period. "We're talking about a guy who can't do first-grade-level math and Donald Trump is an idiot?" Bongino asked, later questioning what jobs Sanders has held outside of politics. It's unclear what prompted Sanders to tweet about Trump and...

    Shaun King, an influential social-justice activist in the national Black Lives Matter movement, has endorsed Jody Owens in the race for Hinds County district attorney. King and his political action committee, Real Justice PAC, join a number of local officials and community leaders in supporting Owens, including Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba. King's activist work includes organizing a social-media campaign for attackers in the assault of Deandre Harris, whom six men attacked in a parking garage during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. King raised $60,000 for Tamir Rice's family. Rice was a 12-year-old black boy...

    George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, on Monday derided President Trump as a "racist president," saying that his latest attacks against a group of minority congresswomen left no doubt that he is a bigot. Conway levels the charge against Trump in an op-ed for The Washington Post that draws on his personal experience with racism in America. Conway, a conservative lawyer who has repeatedly criticized the president, opens the opinion piece by noting that he wasn't even a teenager when he first heard someone tell his mother, a native of the Philippines, to "go back to...

    1) It's obvious from the fact that these so-called "bombs" are hoax devices never intended to explode; that they were 'delivered' to try to keep the "bomb" story alive that this is the work of a DemoKKKrat operative. 2) A free press, no blinded by hate for President Trump would see this in seconds. 3) The American people see it. Far from an "OMG!" moment, this has all the earmarks of an "Are you serious?" moment for the public. 4) Trump defused this (pun intended) with his remarks. 5) That means that the reaction is likely to be exactly the...

Last week, O’Donnell announced that she was going to gather a group of Broadway theater actors to go to the White House and sing various hit songs to protest the Trump administration. Now, just ahead of her protest event, O’Donnell is explaining her intent.

    It was just one of those nights for actor James Woods – minding his own business, fighting the good fight for conservative ideals on the Twitter front. Then it came – a full-frontal threat of violence from a guy named Matthew E. Jacob of Manhasset, Long Island. “If I see you in the street I will hit you over the head with a 2 x 4,” he threatened. But Jacob picked a fight with the wrong actor. Woods, best know for his bad-guy roles, took a screenshot of the threat and tweeted it to Twitter Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey,...
