Vice President Harris is entering into hairy territory — sharing the history of her hair. The vice president opened up about her much-photographed locks in BuzzFeed’s Cocoa Butter video series “Hair Story,” released Monday. “As long as I can remember, my mother would part our hair down the middle and put it in two tight braids,” she said. “I wanted to wear it out,” Harris, 59, said, recalling the work-around she devised as a grade schooler. “It’s so funny because I’d go to school — so [my mother] would put it in the two braids — and then as soon...

Hunter Biden business associate Eric Schwerin never noted a purported $40,000 loan from President Biden to his younger brother James — despite having access to the now-president’s checking and corporate accounts as his bookkeeper and tax preparer, a congressional interview transcript released Monday shows. Schwerin, 54, said during the Jan. 30 deposition with House impeachment investigators that “I don’t recall” Joe Biden having loaned out any money between 2009 and 2016, during which Schwerin helped the then-vice president prepare tax and financial disclosure forms. “Certainly through the 2016 tax period, I don’t recall any loans that he made,” said Schwerin,...

Somewhere in a dystopian future, the last few human scientists find themselves in a desperate rush to grow food to survive. In their research they discover a censored report that says the reason crops have failed world wide is because of a lack of carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere. Researching historical databases they find that governments of the past harvested CO2 from the atmosphere and stored it in locations underground in the northeast and the south. The scientists are forced to make a decision in a panic. Do they go north or south to dig up the carbon and...

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, tried to explain the Hanukkah story on Monday — and failed spectacularly. Emhoff, the first Jewish person in his position, who is helping to lead the White House antisemitism “strategy,” posted a now-deleted explanation that combined elements of several different stories, none of which connected to the other — or made any sense. He wrote: The story of Hanukkah and the story of the Jewish people has always been one of hope and resilience. In the Hanukkah story, the Jewish people were forced into hiding [sic]. No one though they...

President George W. Bush visited Ground Zero just days after the 9/11 terror attacks. He stood atop the World Trade Center rubble and delivered an impromptu speech that would comfort first responders at the scene and unite Americans. In Fox Nation’s "I Can Hear You," host Martha MacCallum sits down with members of the team that accompanied the president to New York on that day and witnessed what would become known as the "bullhorn moment." Before the 43rd president made his way to the Big Apple, it was of high importance to allow first responders to continue rescue efforts without...

Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s defense subcommittee and vulnerable Senate Democrat up for reelection this cycle, will not say if he is against allowing “drag queen story hour” for children on military bases after reports one was hosted at an air force base in his state.

In 2021, a drag queen story hour was hosted at Malmstrom Air Force Base, which is in Tester’s state of Montana....

President Biden again claimed over the weekend that he was detained by South African authorities while trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison in the 1970s — despite admitting just last month that his telling of the story was false. “I got stopped when I was a young senator trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa,” Biden said during a forum broadcast Sunday by left-wing outlet NowThis News. “Afterward he heard, and when he got released, he came to see me in Washington and he walked up to me [and] said, ‘Thank you.'” Biden was responding to Jon-Adrian Velazquez,...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former presidential candidate and founder of the Forward Party Andrew Yang said it looks as though the Hunter Biden laptop story was “buried because of the timing…it was coming out during the height of the election in 2020 and they just did not want that out in the mainstream.” And that the higher levels of trust in the media among Democrats and lower levels of trust in the media among Republicans and independents is a case “where one side feels like the media is on their side.”
