It looks like things may get really messy between Tucker Carlson and Fox News. Apparently, Fox News has created a secret “oppo file” on Carlson, just in case he decides to take any legal action against them. According to a report from Rolling Stone, eight individuals at Fox News confirmed the existence of the file, which could be used to tarnish Carlson’s reputation if he doesn’t play nice after separating from the network. “The file includes internal complaints regarding workplace conduct, disparaging comments about management and colleagues, and allegations that the now-former prime-time host created a toxic work environment, three...

Presidentish Joe Biden’s age has limited his public schedule to a grand total of six hours a day, according to White House officials who admitted to Axios this week that “his age has diminished his energy, significantly limiting his schedule.” Please note that Biden is merely available for “public or private events” during those hours and doesn’t necessarily have anything schedule “It’s difficult,” Axios reported, to do anything with Biden “in the morning, in the evening, or on weekends.” “The vast majority of Biden’s public events happen on weekdays, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.” Today’s Axios report follows on...

Joe Biden announced his 2024 re-election bid in a video early this morning. I guess with a dementia patient, it’s better to have video you can edit or redo several times instead of attempting an in-person announcement for which Democrats would have to find people who actually want to attend. “Let’s finish the job,” the announcement said, which seems more like a threat than a slogan. Former President Donald Trump responded with a strong condemnation of Biden’s failed presidency. Trump continued to list Biden’s economic failures. ”Real wages have been falling 24 months in a row. In other words, under...

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says the indictment of Donald Trump is the “worst case of prosecutorial abuse I have ever seen.” And he’s not the only one calling out this raw exercise of political power over the rule of law. Thursday night, Trump’s attorney echoed that sentiment, declaring, “today the rule of law in the United States of America died.” Trump was charged in a sealed indictment handed up on Thursday that is believed to concern a non-disclosure agreement signed by porn actress Stormy Daniels, which the legacy media calls “hush money.” Daniels was paid $130,000 by Trump’s...

American Democrats are continuing their descent into a Trump-induced madness from which there obviously won’t be any return. They’ve escalated their insane war on Donald Trump to a point that has the potential to backfire in grand fashion. They really didn’t think this one through. Then again, they haven’t thought any of their Trump tantrums through. They’re blinded by rage and won’t stop until they get some red meat footage for the 14 viewers who still watch MSNBC and CNN. Robert writes that the arrest of Trump that was originally planned for Tuesday may no longer be happening: But now...

Beginning Monday, America will finally get a look at hidden January 6 footage in an exposé airing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News network. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Carlson access to far more than the 14,000 hours of video the Feds said existed. That was the story they told defendants who were awaiting trial on charges from “parading” to trespassing to interrupting Congress and “seditious conspiracy,” and who wanted the video footage that could exonerate them. But it turns out that there was a far greater amount of video — 44,000 hours — that the Department of...

A new study published last month by the National Institutes for Health suggests “a protective role” for a tiny yellow pill that costs almost nothing. Study is at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9864223/ Before we go on, understand that I’m one of those crazy million-supplements-a-day people. We’ll get to that in a second, but first, let’s look at the science behind vitamin D and COVID. You can buy a year’s worth of vitamin D supplements for about $12 on Amazon. January’s NIH meta-analysis shows that taking it “results in a decreased risk of death and ICU admission.” It would be fair to note that...

Things are getting more interesting in the U.S. Senate race between that barnacle-encrusted boat anchor, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), and veterans’ activist and nurse Tiffany Smiley, the Republican. RealClearPolitics has moved the race from “leans Democrat” to “toss-up.” One poll predicts that “right now, the Washington Senate race has become ground zero for a wave election upset.” Smiley has been ascendant in recent weeks and has received key aid from Mitch McConnell and his Senate PAC money. She has acquitted herself well on the campaign trail and during debates. A recent poll put Murray up by eight points, but she’s...

It’s the economy, stupid! Right? We’ve been hearing that for decades. Well, with that in mind, Democrats have yet another reason to be terrified that they are about to get shellacked in the midterm elections. According to a new poll, most voters believe that if Democrats win the elections, it will hurt the already struggling economy. The poll from Trafalgar Group, done in collaboration with Convention of States Action, found that 58.9 percent of voters say they believe the economy would suffer if Democrats were to retain control of Congress following the 2022 midterm elections, while 41.1 percent of voters...

The J6 House Soviet Select Committee on Daddy Issues recently got back to work after having retreated to their lairs to pull the wings off of butterflies while watching old episodes of Jerry Springer on DVD. The Democrats were hoping that the antics of the committee’s fascist miscreants would not only foil a presidential run by Donald Trump in 2024 but provide them some cover in this year’s midterm elections. The dream was that the focus on J6 would distract from the fact that a loaf of bread now costs $475 and that the Oval Office is occupied by a...

Democrats in a dozen-and-a-half swing House districts are panicking over the hundreds of millions of dollars of outside money pouring into races featuring vulnerable GOP incumbents. And the national Democratic Party can send very little. National Democratic organizations aren’t airing TV ads in six of the 14 Republican-held districts that went for Biden in 2020. Many of those districts, like the seat held by retiring congresswoman Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, will be sacrificed because the national party just doesn’t have the cash. “I know with every bone in my body that [Kristen] Engel will win this district if we can...

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray is under fire as revelations about political bias at the highest level of the FBI have roiled the bureau. Several rank-and-file agents wonder how Wray can survive when it appears that he has lost control of the FBI. urt Siuzdak, a lawyer who represents whistleblowers, remarked to The Washington Times, “How does this guy survive? He’s leaving. He’s got to leave.” The Times published a report detailing the political bias of Timothy Thibault, an assistant special agent in charge who was subsequently forced to resign. But there have been other accusations against Wray that have...

The Gatestone Institute’s Khaled Abu Toameh warns that the White House has “effectively decided to sacrifice the Arabs, their interests, demands and fears in order to appease Iran.” Not to mention America’s own interests, which as president, Biden is supposed to pursue. Earlier this year, Biden unilaterally dropped sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program put in place under President Donald Trump. The hope was to entice Tehran into negotiations. The result was to encourage the Mullahs to demand even more. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned at the time, “As a result of President Biden’s weakness and appeasement, this administration is ramping...

he lead investigator in the House of Representatives committee on the Trump Russia hoax says he knows why the FBI raided former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and it didn’t have anything to do with scary-sounding “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons,” as the DOJ got The Washington Post to spread on its behalf. Kash Patel believes something more is afoot than a beef between Trump, the General Services Administration (GSA), and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The former federal national security prosecutor and Trump Administration Chief of Staff for the Department of Defense believes the FBI raided...

There are five Democratic House members who won their seats in 2020 despite Donald Trump carrying their districts. Those five are number one on the GOP target list, and the upcoming vote on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act will almost certainly mean their doom in November. The fact that inflation is going to keep rising, despite a bill that’s being sold as a way to reduce it, will be very difficult to defend when the election rolls around. And for these five condemned politicians, asking them what they want for their last meal is probably not out of line. Thirty...

There are many things fishy about the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo house on Monday. First, the former president had been cooperating since he left office with the National Archives and the Justice Department regarding documents taken there by Trump during his presidency. The Archives took 15 boxes of documents, mementos, and keepsakes from Trump’s house last January. A “person familiar” with the list of items removed from Mar-a-Largo says “items that were improperly taken to Mar-a-Lago include a cocktail napkin, a phone list, charts, slide decks, letters, memos, maps, talking points, a birthday dinner menu, schedules and more.” There...

The race for control of the U.S. Senate is heading toward the home stretch and after almost all the primaries have been held, both Republicans and Democrats have a case to be made that they have a good shot at ending up with a majority of the upper chamber. Reading the tea leaves this election is especially difficult. Sabato’s Crystal Ball rates the battle for Senate control a tossup. Others think the Republicans have a one or two-seat edge. Even in a “red wave” election, winning the Senate is going to be an uphill battle for Republicans. Of the 35...

It seemed obvious that Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate was a bad idea. Of all the Black Women™ he could have chosen, how he landed on her is a question for the ages. Unless, of course, someone figured they needed someone so awful that she would make Joe Biden look better by comparison. The Biden-Harris White House has had over 30 senior staffers jump ship — many from Kamala’s office. The latest is Michael Collins, Harris’s director of public engagement; he follows senior aides Meghan Groob and Rohini Kosoglu, who departed a few weeks prior....

“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump said in a statement received by PJ Media. “I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election. I will never stop fighting for the truth and for the future of our Country!” Trump has long maintained that, if not for widespread election fraud, he would have won the 2020 election, and the mainstream media (which also pushed the false claims that Trump...

“The Republican National Committee’s partnership with the Georgia GOP and county parties is touting major strides in its ground game,” writes Emma Hurt at Axios. “By the November 2018 election, the group had just barely hit 1 million door knocks. This year, the partnership known as ‘Georgia Victory’ hit that milestone in mid-July.” The GOP’s 2022 efforts include major outreach to black, Asian, and Latino voters all over the state. The Republican National Committee has 75 dedicated field staff and is increasing its presence in Georgia. Additionally, Gov. Brian Kemp’s campaign has raised its ground game, while former senator Kelly...
