Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on CNN’s “The Source” that former President Donald Trump is the “most un-American presidential nominee in U.S. history.” Scaramucci said, “I think any of those other things that could happen before the trial, particularly the documents case, where if you really read through that complaint, that’s where the most damning evidence is. If none of that happens, it’s a Trump vs. Biden rematch. I think people have to get focused on that.” He continued, “They have to run the reply of Donald Trump, what he said, what he did over the...

… That naysaying has gained much greater currency in recent years as California’s population has contracted for the first time in more than a century. The “exodus” has become an industry, stoking real estate markets from Nevada to Tennessee, fanning the red-versus-blue political flames and launching a thousand what-went-wrong analyses. The latest insult — or bracing reality check? — came last week in a Los Angeles Times poll that found 50% of adults nationwide believe California is in decline. (Bummer, man.) Nearly half the Republicans surveyed said the state is “not really American.” Whatever that means. L.A. Times columnists Mark...

Four in ten Democrats agree with removing statues of George Washington as some leftist cities consider doing so, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found. While the survey found 77 percent of Democrats expressing at least a somewhat favorable view of the country’s first president and Revolutionary War hero, 40 percent at least somewhat approve of removing public monuments of the figure. Of those, 21 percent of Democrats “strongly” approve. However, 53 percent at least somewhat disapprove of doing so.

For the past 91 years California governors have taken part in the annual Christmas tree lighting on the grounds of the state capitol in Sacramento. But this year Gov. Gavin Newsom ended the tradition.The Democrat executive surrendered to pro-Palestinian activists who threatened to disrupt the ceremony.

truth should triumph over nationalistic narratives. And the truth about Thanksgiving should be learned by all Americans, as it is a part of our complicated history of savage betrayal and removal of indigenous people and the colonization of their land. The actual date for the first Thanksgiving is somewhat disputed. Most put the first Thanksgiving in 1621, when the Pilgrims had a feast with the Wampanoag, an Indigenous Nation in and around Plymouth. Scholars say "Thanksgiving" is a misnomer, since the Pilgrims would have given thanks by fasting and "quiet contemplation." It would have been referred to as a "Rejoicing."...

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney revealed the two GOP presidential candidates he refuses to support under any circumstance in a “Person to Person” interview that aired on CBS News. Romney responded that he would support “anybody” except former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy when asked by Norah O’Donnell if there was anybody he liked in the Republican field. “You know, I would uh, I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans. Maybe not Vivek. But uh, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney...

Senate Republicans recently introduced a measure which would forbid the flying of any flag except the American flag over government buildings. Only ONE Democrat voted for it and it missed passage by just one vote. The Democrats voted against this for obvious reasons. The LGBT lobby wields a massive amount of power in the Democrat party, and Senate Democrats know who their masters are. Congratulations to Senator Joe Manchin for being the sole Dem vote. American Greatness reports: Senate Democrats Shoot Down GOP Amendment to Fly Only the American Flag Over Government Buildings On Thursday, Senate Democrats voted against a...

The Supreme Court is poised to hear back-to-back oral arguments for two student loan-related cases on Tuesday, in what could be the final hurdle for the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan. In August, President Joe Biden announced a program that would forgive up to $20,000 in debt for borrowers with federally held student loans, impacting more than 40 million borrowers. Applications for the program opened in October, but a federal judge in Texas put the program on hold in November, ruling that the program was “unlawful.” In both of the cases heading to the Supreme Court, Biden v. Nebraska—a...

The video, which has been digitally manipulated to show a text crawl at the bottom with figures of Ukrainian deaths, is actually from a climate change protest in Austria. The original video, which can still be viewed online, was filmed by Austrian news outlet OE24 in Ballhausplatz, Austria on Feb. 4, 2022, just a few weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. And no one was trying to pass it off as being from Ukraine until it entered the right-wing media ecosystem.

Here’s another tidbit from President Joe Biden’s speech Tuesday. Biden seems to be a little obsessed with the All-American title; while campaigning for John Fetterman in October, he told a crowd that his grandfather was an All-American, a story he’s told before. That story’s been debunked thoroughly, not that it stops Biden from repeating it. We’re not sure who he was complimenting, but Biden told someone that he could have been an All-American playing flankerback if he’d had him in front of him. VIDEO AT LINK.....................

An entire line of Patriotic American flags collapsed right behind Senate Candidate John Fetterman following his remarks at a Pennsylvania Rally

If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while, you’ll know that I’m not really a big fan of democracy and all that. I don’t believe in representative forms of government, voting, elections, and the rest of the things that go along with these. However, I also hold to formalism as a principle, which means that I believe that if you have a system in place then you abide by that system until such a time as it is formally, or at least decisively changed. This is why, despite not believing in democracy, I still think elections should be done...

Journalists with CNN and CBS severely criticized President Joe Biden for having the U.S. military behind him as he gave a political speech that demonized MAGA Republicans as a dark threat to American democracy. “Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it,” tweeted CNN’s Brianna Keilar.

On Thursday’s broadcast of Bloomberg TV’s “Bloomberg Markets,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona responded to criticism of President Joe Biden’s student loan program that it’s not fair to people who paid back their loans by saying that “If something happened where my neighbor needs help to get back on their feet, me feeling that they shouldn’t get help, that’s un-American.” Bloomberg host and reporter David Westin asked, [relevant exchange begins around 9:45] “[D]o you have some sympathy for people who say, I paid back my loans and I didn’t get this kind of break. It’s not quite fair?”

The right to self-defense has been recognized throughout American history and has deep roots. So why is New York persecuting a man for defending himself? So why is New York persecuting a man for defending himself? “A clerk for a New York City bodega was charged with killing a man who attacked him behind the counter,” a local NBC news station reports. “Jose Alba remained quiet Thursday as he returned home after being released on bail following almost a week at Rikers Island. The 61-year-old is facing murder charges after police said he fatally stabbed a man inside a Washington...

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, called it “an honor” to make a guest appearance on the latest episode of the drag show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” “It was an honor to make an appearance on episode 5 of @RuPaulsDragRace All Stars 7 this week,” Pelosi said. “I was inspired by the contestants because they know their power.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 Project creator and professor, said Wednesday on the CNN+ show “Who’s Talking” that parents were wrong when they complained about her work claiming America was founded as a racist country. Wallace said, “What’s your response when people say that you’re saying the country’s racist and that this is a central part and making us feel, making them, kids, feel bad about it. Are you saying parents are wrong?”

The Democratic Party is perceived by voters as being both ineffective and out-of-touch, and as a result, stands to suffer substantive seat losses in the midterm elections, new polling by Schoen-Cooperman research indicates. Indeed, the findings of our survey - which was conducted among likely 2022 midterm election voters - show that the electorate is increasingly pessimistic about the direction in which President Biden and Democrats are steering the country, and feel that the party's priorities do not align with their own..... Indeed, inflation - which is at its highest level in 40 years - is the top issue (51...

Theodore Roosevelt statue removed from American Museum of Natural History A statue of Theodore Roosevelt that has stood in front of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan for more than 80 years was hauled away Wednesday, photos show. The bronze monument depicting the nation’s 26th president on a horse flanked by an African man and a Native American man — which has sparked protests for glorifying colonialism and racism — was yanked out with a crane just after midnight, leaving behind only its concrete pedestal.
