CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” reacted to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) denial about his conversation with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), in which he said he would recommend that then-President Donald Trump should resign. Tapper said, “Moments ago at the press conference on the border. You asked McCarthy about the big story involving McCarthy. The audio revealing that he had, in fact, told House Republicans that he would recommend that Donald Trump resign after January 6. That’s something that McCarthy brazenly had denied, and it’s been proven publicly that he was lying. What did...

Actor Alec Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos while he is sad over accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a movie set with a prop gun, he does not have any guilt over the incident because he is not responsible. "No. No. I feel that someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me," Baldwin said. "What do we come out of this learning? What changes can be made? This is a one-in-a-billion that someone puts a real bullet in a gun and that never happens," Baldwin added. He wants...

Salvation Army trying to weasel their way out of their woke statement.

Senator Forest-Niesing was double vaccinated for COVID but suffered from an autoimmune condition that affected her lungs, according to a statement from her office on Tuesday. Her staff also said they were unsure how she contracted the virus....

Members of an online movement infected with pandemic conspiracies are shifting their focus - and are increasingly peddling falsehoods about climate change. Matthew is convinced that shadowy forces lie behind two of the biggest news stories of our time, and that he's not being told the truth. "This whole campaign of fear and propaganda is an attempt to try and drive some agenda," he says. "It doesn't matter whether it's climate change or a virus or something else." **SNIP** His immersion in this conspiratorial world has coloured his outlook and affected his relationships. He's speaking to me on a video...

FNC’s Geraldo Rivera said Wednesday on “The Five” that Tuesday’s elections results were not a Republican “tidal wave.” After clips of MSNBC and CNN hosts reacting to the election of Glenn Youngkin as governor, Rivera said, “The commentators, like Democrats generally, are whiny, they are annoying. I watched. I hate-watched CNN, MSNBC. I watch everybody with the sound off. And the other networks were so gloomy. They were so depressed. They had big frowns. And even everything looked blue and black. They were very depressed. This is not that big a deal.” He continued, “In my town, in Cleveland, the...

In the 2004 Governor's race in the State of Washington, wildly popular Republican Dino Rossi overcame Democrat Christine Gregoire (aka Fraudoire) and her criminal syndicate of lawyers and union bosses that have kept a lock on key elective offices in the State for as long as anyone can remember. In Seattle, I knew one of the lawyer kingpins whose family had their hands in the State’s politics since the late 1800s. Joe T headed up at one time a law firm of more than 50 lawyers but three ex-wives ate him for dinner leaving him to relish gin highballs for...

The United States is now on its knees. It has been shamed before the world. It’s in a state of collapse. It is in a relentless downward spiral, the Babylon of this era, a nation on its way to the graveyard of history. We’re hearing this from the left, who are always going to be anti-American no matter what the situation, and also from the crybaby branch of movement conservatism, eager to be the first to run out and start shrieking about doom and damnation. Afghanistan is no joke. It is a miserable situation, a disgrace that should not have...

In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC, the Google CEO said an open internet –information online being equally free and available to everybody – has been a 'tremendous force for good' that is 'taken for granted'. Speaking at the tech giant's HQ in Silicon Valley, Pichai told the BBC that Google has proudly stood for an open internet and free expression. 'In some ways I think we pull back from the bigger picture where many countries around the world are restricting the flow of information and I think we are drawing much more rigid boundaries. 'I hope there are stronger...

Joy Reid has been panned for saying she is skeptical of statistics showing a surge in crime because she hasn't heard 'anecdotes from friends' about violent incidents in big cities. The MSNBC host made the statement on Twitter Friday in response to a new ABC News/ Washington Post poll which found a large number of Americans disapprove of President Biden's handling of the crime wave. 'I've seen more TV stories about crime than the actual anecdotes from friends in NYC or other big cities bear out,' Reid stated. 'I mean summer is when crime always goes up and Shark Week...

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Widespread mistrust of science and disputes over basic facts, tied to growing political polarisation and disinformation campaigns, are undermining efforts to tackle climate change globally, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry warned. During a virtual summit organised by the Nobel Foundation and major science academies this week, Kerry said building greater public understanding and agreement on the world's "existential" challenges was crucial to addressing them. "We have to establish a baseline of truth or we can’t build consensus in a democracy," he said. "Paid-for denial" about climate change by big polluters and political disregard by some...

TRUMP MUST BRING QUO WARRANTO ACTION AS COMPLETE DEFENSE TO IMPEACHMENTPosted in Uncategorized on January 23, 2021 by naturalborncitizen Donald J. Trump, please pay close attention to the following legal strategy. You can’t sit back on defense for the Senate’s pending attack on America. This so called impeachment trial fiasco is aimed at stopping the American people from holding the line concerning election fraud, error and blatant lawlessness in the 2020 election. If you are still willing to COUNTERPUNCH, rather than meekly playing defense, then you MUST bring the receipts to institute an action in quo warranto to oust Joe...

Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger, Geoffrey Duncan, Gabriel Sterling. Remember names. They are ALL going to jail. They are complicit in foreign interference with national election. They will be joined by many others. To those threatening me, stop wasting your time. I am fearless.

...FBI Director Christopher Wray doesn’t necessarily find himself in the same company as Jong-Fast, but he’s also apparently not a believer in the notion that antifa groups pose any sort of serious threat. In fact, he’s not even necessarily a believer that antifa groups really exist. Instead, Wray indicated during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Thursday that antifa is more of a ideological view of the world.... To the extent it is an ideology, however, Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw thought Wray was “downplaying” the effects of it. “I’ve heard many members of this body, of this committee,...

“I’m a big fan of vaccines but DAMN I’m skeptical of one that‘s supposed to have been developed, tested, produced, and distributed in 6 months — right in time for the re-election of our very own dictator,” the California Democrat wrote Wednesday on Twitter...The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a letter to governors this week instructing them to be prepared for a vaccine by Nov. 1...“It’s very irresponsible how people are trying to politicize notions of delivering a vaccine,” Azar said.

It’s not just the loss of jobs, the end of school for children or the nonstop panic the mainstream is stirring up in an effort to knock out President Trump. The COVID-19 panic is having even more profound effects on the American society. “The number of people looking for divorces was 34 percent higher from March through June compared to 2019, according to new data collected Legal Templates, a company that provides legal documents,” Fox News reported. The combination of stress, unemployment, financial strain, death of loved ones, illness, homeschooling children, mental illnesses, and more has put a significant strain...

For months, I’ve been laying out evidence that: a new coronavirus was never properly discovered; the diagnostic tests are therefore meaningless; and most of the people who are sick are suffering from traditional illnesses which have been re-packaged under the empty umbrella label, “COVID.” Of course, most people in the world have a religious belief in the new virus. And that opens the door to: “psychological COVID.” Here is what it can look like. A person is watching TV for hours. He’s treated to wall-to-wall news, ads, public service announcements—all about the virus and the pandemic. After days and weeks...
