HOLY OCTOBER SURPRISE — Pompeo just announced he has Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails, and is ‘in process’ of releasing them publiclyPompeo on Dana Perino’s show in the past 15 minutes. Watch the last 30 seconds. The clip is unclear. Trump is talking about the 33,000 emails, then Pompeo says we’ve got them, but doesn’t mention the 33,000. He might be talking about just the classified emails. This story is developing.

SNIP I think the president’s right on this, and unfortunately, I think this is a pattern we’ve seen play out throughout the debates, where the moderators and the debate commission have behaved like arms of the Joe Biden campaign,” Cruz explained. “I think at the first debate … Chris Wallace did a terrible job moderating. Last night, I think Susan Page did a better job moderating. She didn’t interrupt as much but her questions were still, you know, it’s an interesting hypothetical to go back and look at the questions she asked, and ask how would the questions have read...

"The President has always had EROTIC behavior."

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin blasted the medical team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Monday, going as far as calling for the "defunding" of the hospital after President Trump announced he would return to the White House that evening. Trump tweeted Monday afternoon: "I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!"

Christian leaders criticized 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden for “deceptive ads” highlighting the former vice president’s faith to Catholic and Evangelical voters. Biden’s campaign is launching a seven-figure ad buy in October targeting religious Americans, Religion News Service reported Thursday, featuring three new ads and two 30-second television spots running on Evangelical and Catholic programs.

... Rawhide Down: The Near Assassination of Ronald Reagan. We discuss what happened on March 30, 1981 (almost exactly 30 years ago), whether Reagan almost died that day, and how the incident shaped Reagan’s presidency. From page 147 of the book: Lichtman assured the president that he would have no difficulty breathing during the operation and then prepared to administer the anesthetics. As if responding to a cue, the president rose up on one elbow and dramatically pulled the oxygen mask from his face. Salvaging a line that had fallen flat in the emergency room earlier, he said, “I hope...

Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

These videos are absolutely hilarious! I just caught one on Facebook and found the source. So far I've watched all four. There is also a "monday night" version. I was laughing hysterically. The sound effects and WWF style play by play are awesome. Here are four: Episode one: https://banned.video/watch?id=5f5c242ddc50dc07a1f90520 Episode two: https://banned.video/watch?id=5f5c242ddc50dc07a1f90520 Episode three: https://banned.video/watch?id=5f652103dc50dc07a108708b Episode four: https://banned.video/watch?id=5f6e6aecd1e7550a1c00b9ed

by Ron Kersten Many FoxNews viewers were not pleased when the (formerly) "fair and balanced" network hired liberal hack reporter John Roberts from CBS News. And today they were vindicated when Roberts erupted -- ON AIR -- against critics who rightfully slammed him for joining the media's ridiculous attacks against Trump over the non-existent "white supremacy" of the Proud Boys. Here's Roberts parroting the media's new attack line against Trump, endlessly demanding denunciations, despite repeated reminders of exactly that from his Press Secretary: Roberts was immediately SLAMMED by FoxNews viewers and conservative pundits for his tantrum, and he couldn't...

"Unhinged," "thuggish," "racist," "undisciplined" and "appalling" are among the many derogatory adjectives that have been used to describe President Donald Trump's performance during his debate with former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, September 29. But such adjectives were being used to describe Trump long before the debate, and one author who has not been shy about stressing that he considers Trump to be the most dangerous president of his lifetime is Noam Chomsky — who, in an interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine published this week, laid out a variety of reasons why he is so troubled by Trump's presidency....

Last night was the first presidential candidates debate of the 2020 campaign season. The immediate takeaways were that: ** Trump was taking on two politicians ** Chris Wallace interrupted President Trump 76 times to just 15 times for Joe Biden ** Joe Biden couldn’t answer a question ** Joe Biden’s name-calling was disgusting and inappropriate ** Joe Biden made 33 false or misleading statements ** Democrats have to lie to the public about their policies and plans because they are so unpopular and destructive Democrats left the debate thoroughly defeated. They know they lost. How do we know that? Because...

Joe Biden and his wife Jill on Wednesday boarded the Amtrak train in Cleveland to head to Alliance, Ohio. Biden looked tired and battered after last night’s debate as he boarded the train. Trump supporters had a little surprise for Biden when he arrived outside an Elks lodge by a train station in Alliance, Ohio. Trump supporters dragged out huge speakers and blared audio clips of Joe Biden’s gaffes.

by Joe Callen Most online polls are showing that President Trump won his first debate with former VP Joe Biden Tuesday night. Polls with huge responses like this are typical on Twitter: But of course the major networks -- as they did in 2016 with Hillary Clinton -- ALL gave the edge to Biden. ABC by 10, NBC by 9, and CBS by 7 pts...

Dear Dave, My neighbor across the street just put a giant Trump/Pence flag in their front yard. A week later―the day after the Breonna Taylor grand jury came back—he added a Blue Lives Matter flag to the pole. These people are very kind, perhaps the kindest and most generous people on our suburban block. And yet ... they're Trump supporters? They reject the idea of Black Lives Matter? I don't know what to do about it. It's like a big middle finger, whether they know it or not. I'd like to put up a Biden sign, or a "Hate Has...

USA Today embarrassed themselves earlier when they fact-checked a ridiculous, over-the-top Babylon Bee story that nobody—not a single person—believed to be true. Here is the satirical story from The Bee that so-called journalists at a real news outlet somehow felt the need to debunk: The first paragraph reads: In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In a close decision, the judges on the court have ruled RBG's death unconstitutional and will block Trump from nominating a replacement. Instead of cracking a smile at an obvious joke...

<p>Far-left actress Bette Midler has urged Democratic nominee Joe Biden to kick President Donald Trump “in the nuts” during the first presidential debate, and Midler says Biden should pummel the president on behalf of the 200,000 people she says he “murdered.”</p>

Much as the celebrity cash-and-politics antics of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry disgust us, it appears they disgust Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, even more. Here's what Breitbart reported: The decision by Los Angeles-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to wade into the upcoming U.S. election by offering voting advice was a “violation” of their “Megxit” deal with the Queen and could further jeopardise their links to the monarchy, it was claimed Sunday by senior royal aides. According to the Times newspaper, courtiers have been canvassing how the royal household could separate itself further from the pair. The distance is...

Debates are an opportunity to speak directly to voters. If you’re doing it right as a candidate, you’re just a more distilled version of your usual self. If you’re grasping for a debate strategy, you have bigger problems than debating: Your message should be a simple extension of your overall campaign message and strategy. Biden has both. Trump has neither.

California’s largest wildfire is threatening a marijuana-growing enclave, and authorities said many of the locals have refused to evacuate and abandon their maturing crops even as weather forecasters predict more hot, dry and windy conditions that could fan flames. The wildfire called the August Complex is nearing the small communities of Post Mountain and Trinity Pines, about 200 miles (322 kilometers) northwest of Sacramento, the Los Angeles Times reported. Law enforcement officers went door to door warning of the encroaching fire danger but could not force residents to evacuate, Trinity County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Nate Trujillo said.

Nothing better symbolizes the peacemaking achievements of President Donald Trump than the reported agreement of Serbia and Kosovo to name a disputed lake on their border after the man who brought them together, overcoming centuries of conflict between a Christian majority and Muslim majority nation. First reported in the English Language version of Gazeta Express, a Kosovo-based publication, the naming emerged out the successful discussions mediated by Ric Grenell to normalize economic relations between the two nations. That agreement, which also resulted in Kosovo’s agreement to normalize relations with Israel and Serbia’s agreement to move its embassy to Jerusalem, resulted...
