A married woman with kids thanked Dr. Ben Carson at a Texas A&M university event last night for saving her life decades earlier. Dr. Carson, a former pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center who later served in the Trump administration as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, spoke at the Turning Point USA event. “God truly had his hands in this miracle,” Sara Bowker said. She was born with craniosynostosis, a condition where the skull improperly fuses together, according to Bowker. “You gave me the opportunity to graduate high school, college, and start graduate school, play competitive sports,...

Former President Donald Trump said he is considering South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem as his vice presidential nominee for 2024. “Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me,” Trump said on Fox News last month. “She said, ‘I’d never run against him because I can’t beat him.’ That was a very nice thing to say.” Noem’s track record as governor, however, showcases a state executive more eager to capitulate to corporate constituents at the Chamber of Commerce and capitalize on the glamour of political stardom than governing on behalf of Republican voters. Three years ago, Noem shot down a...

WASHINGTON — President Biden liked to joke during the height of the pandemic that controversial ex-COVID czar Anthony Fauci could replace Kamala Harris as his No. 2, a bombshell new book says. As Biden’s team scrambled to tackle the coronavirus in 2021, the president would quip during meetings that his then-White House chief medical adviser should sit in the vice president’s chair. “When the president assembled his COVID team, he would jokingly direct Anthony Fauci to sit in the vice president’s chair,” according to “The Last Politician” by Franklin Foer — who says he had “unparalleled access to the tight...

I don't think this needs any explanation. That said, it is painful to watch...because Kamala is always painful to watch.

It's no secret the the mainstream media and the Democrats lie constantly and advance myths to promote their preferred politicians. Barack Obama was a radical backbench politico who was treated like a demigod by the Democrats. The new flavor of the month is Kamala Harris. Supposedly Harris is unique as the first minority member to serves as Vice President. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! The distinction belongs to Republican Charles Curtis who served as Vice President for President Herbert C. Hoover. Curtis was a Kansan who was a registered member of the Kaw nation. His ancestry included Osage and Potawatomi blood as...

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will. Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden. Celebrities seemed frustrated...

Following cast reunions of The Princess Bride and The West Wing, Wisconsin Democrats are importing more Hollywood celebrities in their effort to turn the state blue and send President Donald Trump packing. This time, the cast of HBO’s Veep, headed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, will take part in a virtual reunion to raise money in the battleground state. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who hosted the final night of the Democratic National Convention, announced Saturday that the virtual Veep reunion will take place October 4. “Anything you donate will be used to ensure that Trump loses Wisconsin, and thereby the White House,” the official...

Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

Last year, Kamala Harris may have become the first presidential candidate in history to laugh derisively at the idea that the Constitution limits what a president can do. When Joe Biden said that her plan for gun control by executive fiat didn’t pass constitutional muster, she scoffed and deployed one of her canned one-liners: “I would just say, ‘Hey, Joe, instead of saying, ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s say, ‘yes we can!’  ” Yes, we can — flippantly blow by the constitutional requirement that new laws be passed by Congress. Harris was one of the Democratic field’s great enthusiasts for unilateral...

The Breakfast Show host Charlamagne tha God, whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey, said elevating Klobuchar onto the Democratic presidential ticket would be akin to committing political "suicide." McKelvey found himself in the middle of a viral moment yesterday when Biden told him that black people "ain't black" if they vote for Trump. . . . especially at this moment, after the comments that he made ... He would be a fool not to put a black woman as his running mate."

CONCORD, N.H. — Amy Klobuchar rode a late-breaking wave of momentum over the past week to finish third in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night, vaulting from relative obscurity into contention for the Democratic nomination for president.

“Seinfeld” actor John O’Hurley sounded off on Hollywood for suppressing “diversity of thought” in the wake of Debra Messing and Eric McCormack calling for supporters of President Trump to be outed. Trump plans to attend a Sept. 17 fundraiser in Beverly Hills during a trip to California that will also include visits to the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego, officials said. The “Will & Grace” co-stars took issue with a Trump fundraiser happening in their city and called for donors to be doxxed. “I think they have the bully pulpit right now to say it out loud. I don’t...

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus took several swipes at President Donald Trump and his agenda on Friday during the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Los Angeles. “I am a patriot and I am very unhappy with our current political situation. And this, by the way, has nothing to do with Veep, this is me talking right now,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus told the crowd, speaking about her hit HBO comedy series. Telling the audience that she’s “not a fan” or the current president, Dreyfus said, “I have no idea who I am going to support in 2020 except to say that it...

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus starred in an ad for the ‘Multiply Your Vote’ campaign this weekend, warning that the United States is heading toward a political reality similar to that of Nazi Germany unless President Donald Trump’s power is restrained. “Donald Trump, you are the president of all citizens of this country, you should not inflame the hatred of some at the violent expense of others,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus begins. “We’ve seen Jews subjected to persecution, prejudice, and mass murder for thousands of years. We were all horrified by the horrific slaughter of 11 Jewish congregants at the Tree of Life Synagogue...

(JTA) — Julia Louis-Dreyfus, an American television actress who gained fame on the hit series “Seinfeld,” was diagnosed as suffering from breast cancer. Louis-Dreyfus, whose paternal grandfather was Jewish, broke the news Thursday on Twitter. “1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I’m the one,” wrote Louis-Dreyfus, who portrayed Elaine Benes on the hugely popular sitcom.

Actress and comedian Julia Louis-Dreyfus announced on Twitter Thursday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

According to Time magazine, Veep star and former Seinfeld leading lady Julie Louis-Dreyfus is a shining beacon of Hollywood feminine power, because — yeah you get it — she’s funny, beautiful, doesn’t take crap from no man, and has all the right liberal heroes. Oh and she also thinks Trump’s a “moron” too. This is the kind of stuff that gives her that “America’s Sweetheart” quality. Louis-Dreyfus is a talented comic actress. As a political commentator? Not so much. But two years into his administration, dumping on Trump (while doing a little identity politicking for good measure) remains a reliable...
