Former President Donald Trump's untruths about the "rigged" election of 2020 were recently slammed by Fox News host Arthel Neville, who fact-checked them while analyzing his Iowa speech. The speech in question was made on December 2 by Trump at a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he made the most strange claims about elections and his presidency, Rolling Stone reported.

Fox News reportedly told former President Donald Trump’s surrogates they are not allowed access to the post-debate “spin room” following Trump’s announcement that he would skip the debate due to a significant polling advantage. snip Aides typically tout their candidates and criticize their opponents in the “spin room,” according to Axios. However, Fox News is no longer allowing Trump’s team to represent the former president in the “spin room” due to Trump’s decision to skip the debate. The conservative cable news outlet said post-debate credentials would be given only to “participating candidate/campaigns,” according to a memo obtained by Axios. Members...

China has acted as a backdoor for Russia to conduct business and obtain much-needed technology to continue its invasion in Ukraine, thereby bypassing Western sanctions, according to a new intelligence report. ... The eight-page report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on "Support Provided by the People’s Republic of China to Russia" found that Beijing has "become an even more critical economic partner for Russia" since the invasion started.

The contentious music video for Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" was slightly changed as it continues to climb the charts and draw criticism. Did the singer finally cave in to pressure and the immense cancel culture? The music video is currently six seconds shorter than when it was first uploaded on July 14, according to The Washington Post, which published this information on Tuesday, July 25. The initial video appears to have been edited to exclude news footage from Fox 5 Atlanta showing Black Lives Matter marches and protests in 2020. In the initial version of the...

Producers of Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” music video have quietly removed archival footage of Black Lives Matter rioters after Fox threatened legal action, according to a new report. The footage in question is a brief series of clips from Fox 5 Atlanta showing BLM rioters violently protesting in the streets, TMZ reported. Sources told TMZ the company that produced the video reached out to Fox back in May and asked for permission to use the six seconds of news footage. Fox reportedly asked for more information, specifically the lyrics of the song. But the production company...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has hit a slow-burn phase after nearly 18 months of intense fighting, focusing primarily on Kyiv’s counteroffensive and Moscow’s efforts to hold their gains after ensuring Ukraine will not be able to join NATO. "The Russian offensive is grinding on a low-intensity pace as the Russians are focused primarily on holding on to the territory they’ve captured and thwarting [the] Ukrainian counteroffensive, which has not produced much gain for Kyiv," Rebekah Koffler, president of Doctrine & Strategy Consulting and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, told Fox News Digital. "Putin is unlikely to push for any...

Let’s be real, the “we the people” crowd is the only group in this country truly rooting for President Trump. When it comes to politicians, media, and corporations, it’s all about the ABT — “Anybody But Trump” agenda, which the RNC is currently rolling out with quite a bang. The first debate moderators have just been announced, and they could practically serve as presidents of the ABT fan club. Struggling Fox News will host the debate, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum at the helm — the same disastrous duo who made that premature call for Arizona on election night...

Fox News: Deep State Collaborators Waving the Flag With all that in mind, let’s think about Fox News. Starting with election night 2020, that operation aligned itself with the Deep State, the architects of election fraud, and those in the GOP who’d rather lose the country than lose control of the party to populist candidates … such as Donald Trump. (And Kari Lake, and Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz.) With a few honorable exceptions (soon to be purged) Fox personalities joined in the mass gaslighting of Americans, assuring them that the 2020 election was “the most secure in history,” and...

@SebGorka They put Kilmeade in Tucker’s slot. 😂 FOX is finished.

Thomas has come under scrutiny from liberals over his family's friendship with GOP donor Harlan CrowA pizza chain with locations in a handful of states along the eastern region of the country has taken aim at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas by listing "every pie on sale" in an effort to highlight his reported friendship with a wealthy GOP donor.

As the Ukrainian spring bloodily transitions into summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Generals are trying to manage a stalled, if not, failed winter offensive in the Donbas that has left as many as 75,000 Russian soldiers and Wagner Group mercenaries dead. As the Kremlin’s overall casualties continue to mount, upwards of 200,000 according to the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense, it is becoming increasingly clear we are likely seeing the beginning of the end of Putin in Ukraine – especially as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Generals draw nearer Kyiv’s much-anticipated counteroffensive. Ukraine is a vast Texas-size...

As former President Donald Trump ramps up his 2024 presidential campaign, new polling reveals that while more than half of Americans believe he intentionally did something illegal after his indictment, many believe it was politically motivated. Trump was arraigned Tuesday in New York City on charges stemming from alleged 2016 hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, making him the first former president in American history to be criminally charged. A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 48% of Americans think Trump should suspend his presidential campaign following the indictment, up 5 points from last week. The survey...

The incident – which was broadcast by Russian state television – happened as Putin was filmed chatting with purported residents outside what appeared to be a freshly-built apartment complex in the besieged Ukrainian city. "It’s all lies, it’s all just for show!" a woman’s voice could be heard yelling in the background, according to the BBC. The person who yelled could not be seen in the footage.

If you were one of those people hoping that the presidential primary season would hold off a few more months, I regret to inform you that the gloves are good and fully off.Donald Trump has been savaging Ron DeSantis (up to and including suggesting he’s a pedophile) for months, but up to this point, the Florida governor had held his fire. That is no more after DeSantis did an interview with Fox Nation in which he finally responded to some of Trump’s jabs.It’s only March, so I’m going to do my best to not get in the weeds yet. There...

Fox News sued one of its senior producers Monday over the $1.6 billion defamation claim it is fighting concerning allegedly knowingly broadcasting disinformation regarding the results of the 2020 presidential election. Fox News's lawsuit came the same day that the producer, Abby Grossberg, who has worked with hosts Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartiromo, filed lawsuits against the company, accusing Fox lawyers of attempting to coerce her into lying to investigators to protect top executives and slamming the television network for being misogynistic. According to Fox's lawsuit, Grossberg told the network last month that she intended to sue it for discrimination....

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the International Criminal Court (ICC) Sunday for issuing an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The comments came the day before the Russian leader hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping. The ICC charged Putin with war crimes, although Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the court and is not likely to turn Putin over on the charges. Nevertheless, Zelenskyy claimed the charges were a "turning point" in the war and show the international community is recognizing atrocities committed in the Russia-Ukraine war, which reached its one-year milestone last month. "The evil state will be...

U.S. officials have released video that shows a Russian Su-27 fighter jet colliding with the propeller of a U.S. MQ-9 reaper drone. The video was released by the U.S. military's European Command on Thursday, allowing the public to view the widely-reported aerial incident.
