Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said her House office was “tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing [her] of supporting terrorism” after she condemned Israel for a series of explosions across Lebanon involving pagers that targeted members of militant group Hezbollah. “Yesterday my House office was tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing me of supporting terrorism after I questioned the pager operation, which clearly runs counter to US policy,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote Friday in a post on the social platform X. “They must live under a rock to not know I don’t take well to bullies,” she added in. On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez posted on X...

First Lady Jill Biden assisted President Joe Biden, 81, on Friday in the first White House cabinet meeting in almost a year, reportedly the first time she has participated in such a meeting. Biden will leave office in January after stepping aside from the presidential race following a debate with former President Donald Trump in which he slurred his words and appeared unable to speak clearly about the challenges facing the nation. Since the president’s departure from the race, Republicans have questioned who is running the country. Rumors suggest Jill Biden did not want her husband to drop out, as...

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are running neck and neck in typically blue Virginia, according to a poll. The University of Washington’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies poll, published Friday, shows the candidates are tied two in a two-way race among registered voters, while Harris has razor-thin edge with likely voters. Each garners 45 percent of the 850 registered voter respondents’ support in a head-to-head matchup. Three percent prefer someone else, and four percent are undecided. Two percent would not vote, and one percent refused to answer. Harris leads Trump narrowly, 48 percent to 46...

Springfield, Ohio, residents raised dire concerns about crime and the influx of migrants during a town hall with Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday. Under the Biden-Harris administration, Haitian migration increased the town’s population by an estimated 25 percent, according to the Columbus Dispatch. City critics say it is a Haitian invasion, leading to deaths, displaced residents, and surging insurance rates. “There simply are too many mass migrants here in this town, and they’re too richly subsidized. It’s pushing people out of their homes. It’s pushing people out of their jobs,” one resident said during the town hall. “We are at a...

First lady Jill Biden emphasized the importance of a “peaceful transfer of power” in January in an article from NBC News that published Friday. “I think we have to vote. As Americans, you know, that’s a right that we’ve been given, and I think we have to take advantage of that, and then we have to have a peaceful transfer of power,” she proclaimed. The first lady, NBC reported, had been asked what she would tell the country “during a toxic campaign season.” After President Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, Trump refused to accept the results...

President Joe Biden on Thursday appeared to forget meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as recently as two years ago. “I’ve never once spoken to the chairman of the Fed since I became president,” Biden said, falsely, in a speech at the Economic Club of Washington. Biden met with Powell as recently as May 2022 in the Oval Office. This was Powell’s third in-person meeting with President Biden, according to Bloomberg. Biden nominated Powell to a second term as chair of the Fed in November 2021. Biden’s false statement was meant to contrast his approach to the Fed with...

Grammy-winning artist Stevie Wonder recently announced a 10-stop tour across the U.S. ahead of Election Day, now less than two months away. The concert tour — dubbed “Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart,” will kick off in October, according to an announcement. “Now is the moment to understand where we are and what it will take to win: win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits — now is the time,” Wonder said last month, during an appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, when Vice President Harris was confirmed as Democrats’...

The feds are “not being cooperative” with Florida’s investigation into the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said during a Thursday appearance on the Ingraham Angle. When asked if the feds are cooperating with the investigation and if he is concerned that he is not getting the information needed, DeSantis said, “The answer is no. They’re not being cooperative. “Yes, I am concerned. I mean, for example, we were rebuffed. Our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach,” the governor revealed, surmising...

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” gun-control advocate Vice President Kamala Harris said during her Thursday interview with Oprah Winfrey before immediately admitting she made a gaffe. “I probably should not have said that,” Harris admitted. “My staff will deal with that later.” Republicans immediately mocked Harris for her statement: Harris’s aides will likely be very busy on Friday trying to clean up her disastrous interview. When asked what “specifically” she would do to secure the southern border, Harris replied with a three-minute answer before Winfrey cut her off.

John O'Hurley, the "Seinfeld" actor and narrator of the documentary "Watergate’s Secrets and Betrayals," says that the new film about the scandal that sunk Richard Nixon’s presidency finally proves that the former president "didn’t get his day in court." Fox News Digital spoke to O’Hurley, as well as the documentary’s director, George Bugatti, about their new film which they believe should reset the narrative about the Watergate scandal and show it was weaponized to force Nixon from office in 1974. "What the film will expose is the fact that he didn't get his day in court. And there were a...

Former President Donald Trump has flipped the script on Vice President Kamala Harris, taking her attacks on “Project 2025” and slapping the label on her own policies. Harris has repeatedly warned voters about “Trump’s Project 2025,” even though Trump disavowed the document, as numerous fact-checkers have confirmed. Tired of Harris’s repeated defiance of the truth, the Trump campaign has decided to use the term “Project 2025” to describe the policies that she would enact if she took office next year. In posts on social media, Trump listed the policies in “Kamala’s Project 2025”: Abolishing ICE Opening the border Defunding the...

Vice President Kamala Harris is being ridiculed over her latest word salads — with many suggesting she even left celebrity supporter Oprah Winfrey looking confused and “lost.” The Democrat’s presidential candidate repeatedly rambled during her star-studded, two-hour virtual rally with Winfrey late Thursday, with the TV host at times prodding her to give straight answers to questions. She then ended with a two-minute monologue that confused many people listening — including Winfrey, according to online commentators who said the powerful media mogul looked “lost” and “unimpressed.” “We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that’s...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon warned the United States that Iran will meddle in the 2024 elections more “than you can imagine.” And cited the recent Iranian cyberattack where Iran sent messages to Israeli citizens warning them about a fake attack. Host Sandra Smith asked, “Throwing one other thing into the mix here, amid these escalating tensions, is the Iranian meddling in U.S. elections and the United States’ response to it. So, what do you — how would you generalize the United States’ response right now, obviously, as...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that building eight electric vehicle charging stations so far under the Inflation Reduction Act’s $7.5 billion investment in electric vehicle charging stations is “on track.” Because most construction will occur in the second half of the decade. Co-host Joe Kernen asked, “[O]ur designs on electrification of the auto industry, have we recalibrated there? And I’ll just give you one item and you can — maybe you can explain why, but under the Inflation Reduction Act, 7.5 billion for building these charging stations. The latest information, eight have been...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that when former President Donald Trump speaks, it is incoherent “word salads.” Co-host Joy Behar said, “The other day he said the Haitians have to go back to Venezuela. I mean, he’s really losing it. So what really annoys me is they raked poor Joe Biden over the coals for every little misstep and this guy gets away with every single thing and that’s including a lot of the media. What do you make of that?”

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) stated that while 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris is saying the right things, “it is basically what you say and what you do are two different things,” and that while he can’t endorse 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, “I like a lot of his policies.” Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Kamala Harris, as you know, has positioned herself as being more moderate. Is she moderate enough to get your support?”

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo personally altered a state review that lowballed the nursing home COVID-19 death count, emails detailed in a new report show – a revelation that directly contradicts his claims he had nothing to do with it. Emails and congressional documents undercut Cuomo’s defiant assertion during a summer congressional grilling that he never saw or even had any memory of the state Health Department report, the New York Times first reported. “Governor’s edits are attached for your review,” Cuomo’s assistant wrote to the then-governor’s senior staff in June 2020, the Times report states. Cuomo wasn’t sworn in under...

We are less than 50 days from Election Day and with thousands of New Yorkers packing out Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Wednesday to see Donald Trump speak, all eyes are on New York. Why New York? Weak, corrupt, incompetent and inept leaders have passed law after law that have made life less safe and affordable. New York continues to lead the nation in out-migration because pro-criminal, high-tax and sanctuary policies have forced countless New Yorkers to seek refuge in other states. Many have reached their breaking point but have found hope in the New Yorker running at the...

Joe Germanotta — the father of Lady Gaga and a prominent New York City restauranteur — has publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump, saying he supports Trump’s policies regarding the economy, the border, and policing. In an appearance on Fox & Friends on Thursday, Joe Germanotta also slammed Kamala Harris, saying she will “say whatever she needs to say to get elected.” He also blasted Harris for the “invasion” of illegal immigrants that has occurred under her watch. Germanotta is the owner of the restaurant Joanne Trattoria, located on New York’s Upper West Side not far from Lincoln Center. Since...

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution Wednesday that effectively bars Israel from self-defense in any of the territory it captured in a defensive war in 1967, including in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. The resolution refers to a ruling earlier this year by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) — led by a judge from Lebanon, which is in a state of war with Israel — in which it declared Israel’s presence in Gaza, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), and eastern Jerusalem to be illegal under international law. (Israel angrily rejected the ruling, with Prime Minister...
