Kamala Harris was last night ripped to shreds for her 'word salad' answers in a softball liberal media interview - her first since Joe Biden stepped down 40 days ago. The Democratic nominee appeared beside her running mate Tim Walz for an hourlong broadcast - which in reality amounted to less than half an hour of actual questioning by Dana Bash. Scott Jennings, an ex-Bush advisor, issued the ominous warning that Donald Trump will be 'salivating' ahead of the presidential debate on September 10 - their first ever face-to-face meeting. That sentiment was echoed by GOP polling guru Frank Luntz...

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign following his poor debate showing on Thursday night, warning that deciding to run was ill-advised and made him no better than his adversary, former President Trump. “He’s being selfish. He’s putting himself ahead of the country. He’s surrounded by opportunistic enablers. He has created a reality distortion field where we’re told not to believe what we’ve plainly seen. His hubris is infuriating. He says he’s doing this for us, but he’s really doing it for himself,” she started the column. “I’m not talking about Donald...

Wow, that was brutal. Just brutal. From the moment Joe Biden first spoke, it was clear this was going to be a bad night for him. My only conclusion is that all the talk about Biden potentially being drugged for this debate to boost his performance ultimately scared the campaign from doing just that. This was a huge gamble for the Biden campaign to have Joe debate Trump, and they lost big time. But don't take my word for it.Politico reports that "Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White...

MATTESON, Ill. (WLS) -- A train derailed Thursday morning in far south suburban Matteson, a spokesman for the village said. Chopper 7 was over the scene about 11:30 a.m., and multiple cars were derailed in the area of 21740 Main St. The spokesman said the train involved is from the Canadian National Railway Company. There were no immediate reports of injuries, but officials were looking at a leaking train car. It was not immediately clear what was leaking from the train car. The village spokesman said a white powdery substance seen leaking from one car was tested by CN, who...

'ZIP' IT: Fani Willis appeared flustered, mentioned rushing to take the stand when she was called, and according to some who watched the hearing online, appeared to be wearing her dress backwards. https://t.co/c620ASDDVT pic.twitter.com/cukkXCiRUo— Fox News (@FoxNews) February 16, 2024

Reactions from prominent Ohio political figures are pouring in after President Biden announced this week he will visit East Palestine, Ohio a year after the major train derailment that devastated the community and sparked calls for him to visit the town. "Biden visiting East Palestine at this point is pure politics," Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance posted on X. "What is he actually going to do for the people on the ground? That’s what matters, not political stunts." "Joe Biden refused to stand with the patriots of East Palestine when it really mattered. He could have united our country by...

The daughter of notorious pedophile teacher Mary Kay Letourneau has given birth to a baby boy, according to a report. Letourneau who died of colorectal cancer in 2020 first raped her former second-grade student Vili Fualaau when he was just 12 and she was 34. They eventually had two daughters together including Georgia, 25, who announced her pregnancy back in September with a post on her private Instagram page. 'Cried this morning talking to my son about how much love I feel for him already,' she wrote. 'I love you my baby boy.' People magazine reported that Georgia has since...

Oh snap, this is buckets of funny. The DeSantis influencers are having major ‘splodey heads right now. The meltdowns are too funny. What makes this even more hilarious is that DeSantis online influencers considered Tucker Carlson to be a major player in their tribe.Speaking at the Turning Point USA event to Tim Pool {Direct Rumble Link}, Tucker Carlson gave his opinion on the Ron DeSantis online influence campaign; saying, “the people who represent him online are the nastiest, the stupidest, and the most zero-sum people I’ve ever seen in my life.” WATCH:It’s funny, because it’s true.Christina Pushaw put all of...

@TPostMillennial Tucker Carlson calls out DeSantis' campaign: “The people who represent him online are the nastiest, the stupidest, and the most zero-sum people I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Ron DeSantis’s collapsing campaign has been attempting to peddle fake, AI-generated images of former President Donald J. Trump hugging and kissing Dr. Antony Fauci. The incident comes just days after the DeSantis team launched a corporate media-inspired campaign to “fact check” Trump supporters on Twitter.

On Thursday, a June 5th video resurfaced from the official “DeSantis War Room” Twitter account that uses fake AI-generated images showing President Trump “embracing” Dr. Fauci. The ad aims to attack Trump for not firing Dr. Fauci sooner, and they use the fake images to attempt to make their point.

Too funny not to share. By the way, I know a guy who is ex secret service. He knows some guys who are on the security detail still. They say Biden regularly has dementia moments worse than the public has even seen.

What happened in East Palestine, Ohio is being called the worst environmental disaster in American history and the Biden administration is mostly ignoring it. Now members of congress are calling for Pete Buttigieg to be impeached.

Biden’s magic trick was to turn the economy into a train wreck. Example? The 30-year mortgage rate was 2.88% on Biden’s inauguration day (January 20, 2021). They are now 7.32%, a 154% increase under Biden. ... The US economy is suffering from knucklehead energy policies, reckless Federal spending and rampant inflation. Joe Biden doing economic magic tricks, turning a vibrant economy into an inflation-ravaged one.

Gay journalist, Isaac Grafstein, has tried to explain why Billy Eichner's “Bros” tanked at the box office. Despite opening in more than 3,000 theaters, with a $22 million budget, not to mention an intense marketing campaign by Universal, “Bros” has so far grossed a limp $10.8 million. As Grafstein notes, “Bros” is definitely not 'groundbreaking'. When Jack tells Ennis, in Brokeback Mountain, 'I wish I knew how to quit you'—that was groundbreaking. There are moments when Bros is funny—a self-deprecating lampoon of gay life. But mostly it’s a preachy, self-indulgent dumpster fire. At one point, Bobby harangues Aaron’s mother about...

Democrat optimists may believe that Biden's travel to the Middle East will be a foreign policy success, which would impact Democrat chances of remaining in control of Congress. Israel and Jordan have important commercial shipping seaports in the Gulf of Aqaba. Tiran and Sanafir, islands in the Strait of Tiran, are strategic to international shipping between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. Egypt and Saudi Arabia each claim control of this strait. It is reported that Joe Biden is working behind the scenes to broker a deal that would transfer sovereignty of these islands from Egypt to Saudi...

Another US billionaire in the oil/gas industry (or in commodity markets) blamed the Biden administration’s energy policies for soaring fuel costs and said it would magnify the current crisis.John Arnold, former Enron trader and hedge fund manager, known as the “king of natural gas,” unleashed a tweetstorm Tuesday directed at Biden for the worsening supply outlook that sent natgas futures to 13-year highs. US Natgas supplies are trending below a 5-year mean.

A juror asked Judge Bruce Schroeder of the Kenosha County Court if she could take the jury instructions home with her on Thursday evening, after the jury deliberated for a third full day without reaching a verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Rittenhouse faces five counts — two of murder, one of attempted murder, and two of reckless endangerment. Unlike the second day, when the jury asked to review video evidence, the jury spent the entire day deliberating with each other. After the juror asked to take the instructions home, the defense attorneys shook their heads, and Judge Schroeder paused...

China power problems are affecting 20 out of China’s 34 provinces. Cement production has been reduced by 29% and aluminum production capacity has been reduced 7%. Heavy industry has seen the most cutbacks. Coal prices are up but China’s utilities have energy price controls. There were quotas on coal mining. The rolling blackout and other power shutoff is also hitting hospitals and street lights. The power shutoffs are very broad and the facts do not align with various excuses and stories coming from China. China’s leadership has not been on top of the power shortage problem and has been months...
