FULL TITLE: 'Text "FREDO" to 88022': Trump's re-election campaign pounces on Chris Cuomo video scandal with 'Fredo Unhinged' t-shirts that urge supporters to sign up for text alerts Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign wasted no time capitalizing on a feud between the president and Chris Cuomo, introducing a t-shirt for sale on Tuesday that mocks the CNN anchor for a videotaped F-bomb rant that went viral online. Cuomo confronted a man who called him 'Fredo' – insisting he thought that was the TV star's name. Cuomo took it as an anti-Italian insult and threatened to throw the man down a...

There’s not a single journalist who hasn’t missed a story, made a mistake or mangled a quote. It comes with the territory, with the consolation that there’s a new chance tomorrow. But a certain editor at The New York Times cannot be consoled. His flub was no ordinary one, for he was insufficiently hostile to the president of the United States. When Trump is the president, that is not a mere mistake at The New New York Times. It’s a sin, potentially a mortal one. “He’s sick. He feels terrible,” executive editor Dean Baquet reportedly said. No doubt the sinner...

As predicted, the $15 minimum wage is forcing city employers to cut staff, shorten or scrap shifts, hike prices, cancel expansion plans and even close locations. The mandate took effect Jan. 1 for city businesses with 11 or more employees — and will hit even the smallest businesses come Dec. 31. Employers say they’re struggling to adjust to the whopping wage boost and making major shifts in plans. Yes, lefty and union-backed economists released a report last week claiming a local restaurant-jobs boom. But the city’s Independent Budget Office put the 2018 drop at 6,000 jobs, or about 3.4 percent....

A national panel of health experts recommended Tuesday that doctors screen all adult patients for illicit drug use, including improper use of prescription medications. But the group, the US Preventive Services Task Force, stopped short of endorsing such screening for teenagers, a position that puts them at odds with major adolescent health groups. The panel, appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services but operated independently, said that its proposed guidelines are intended to combat alarmingly high rates of substance abuse in the United States. It cited a 2017 federal survey that found 1 in 10 Americans ages 18...

During a high-altitude test on 5 August in Kiruna, Sweden, a test mass designed to represent the combined lander and rover was dropped from a stratospheric helium balloon at the height of 29km. Engineers were testing the largest of two main parachutes, measuring 35m in diameter, designed to slow the vehicle to a speed required to land safely on Mars. The European Space Agency says it's the largest ever to fly on a Mars mission. However, the test article crashed into the ground at high speed. Preliminary analysis shows that the initial steps in the parachute's deployment were carried out...

The two guards who were in the jail unit where Jeffrey Epstein apparently killed himself fell asleep and failed to check on him for about three hours, then falsified records to cover up their mistake, a law enforcement official and a prison official said on Tuesday.

Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne delivered to the Department of Justice a number of documents, including emails and text messages, in April, regarding both the origins of the Russian investigation, and an FBI operation into Hillary Clinton with which he was personally involved during the first months of 2016, according to a U.S. official who spoke SaraACarter.com.

Different host, same deranged hatred for all things Trump . . . On MSNBC on Monday afternoon, Chris Jansing sat in for Nicolle Wallace on Deadline: White House. As our Bill D'Agostino has documented, Wallace has a history of unhinged Trump hatred. Things got so bad last week that Wallace was forced to apologize for accusing President Trump of "talking about exterminating Latinos." On Monday's show, the question was whether it would be good political strategy, given President Trump's alleged racism, to accuse the Trump base of being racists for supporting him. They turned to Frank Figliuzzi, an Obama-era FBI...

The family of a pilot killed in action in 1967 during the Vietnam War was among dozens of people who silently observed the Dignified Arrival of the airman’s remains at Dallas Love Field Airport in Texas on August 8, local media reported. (Jay Giggs via Storyful){p}{/p} The remains were transported by the airman’s son, Bryan Knight, who is a pilot for Southwest Airlines. An obituary for Roy A. Knight Jr, a major in the US Air Force, said he was shot down in May 1967 while attacking a target on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. He was initially...

The present manifestations of feminism are mere phases of a process that seeks the annihilation of women. It seems a contradiction. Feminism claims to glorify women and their accomplishments. Women’s Studies departments worldwide are supposedly dedicated to the study of women’s achievements and the denouncing of the “oppression” they have suffered over the ages. However, avant-garde feminists reveal the true nature of their nihilistic creed. They desire the destruction of all that was once considered to be female. They claim the feminine ideal is a social construct that inhibits and restrains women from being whatever they want to be. Central...

Julián Castro plans a rude interruption of Donald Trump’s executive time Wednesday. The Democratic White House hopeful has bought a half-minute of ad time on POTUS’ go-to appointment show, Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends, to deliver a personal message to the president. “As we saw in El Paso,” the former HUD secretary says on camera, “Americans were killed because you stoked the fire of racists. Innocent people were shot down because they look different from you because they look like me. They look like my family.” Watch the ad below. Castro is among a number of Dem presidentlal candidates...

After Governor Bevin said that Baptists should be “insulted” by Andy Beshear’s first campaign ad, due to Beshear’s stance on abortion, a group of faith leaders that included Baptist ministers called out the governor. In a press conference held in front of Douglas Boulevard Christian Church, a group of faith leaders across the religious spectrum spoke of their faith and of reproductive rights, and accused the governor of using abortion as a tool to divide Kentuckians, rather than bring them together. And, they emphasized the ability and the rights of women to make their own healthcare decisions, calling the shaming...

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Tuesday said the Trump administration should declare racist beliefs a threat to U.S. national security. During a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee, Jackson Lee said that the attack in her home state of Texas last week displayed the danger of ignoring U.S. residents who foster white supremacist views. "I believe that racism ... should be declared a national security threat," Jackson Lee said. "Racism is a national security threat. Before, we would say, 'you have a right to your racist views. You have a right to believe that slavery was right. That...

New York, NY – For the eighth time in 2019, an ambulance has rolled up to the Margaret Sanger Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Bleecker Street in New York City to transport a Planned Parenthood patient to the hospital. The incident took place on August 1, 2019, at approximately 11:45 a.m. In the past few months, two ambulances have responded to calls for emergency assistance, but this day, only one ambulance from the New York Fire Department responded. About ten minutes after the ambulance crew entered the Planned Parenthood abortion facility, they emerged with a young Black woman in the...

Of the rock festivals of the sixties, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair was by far the most famous. Held on a 600-acre dairy farm near Bethel, N.Y. on August 15–17, 1969, the festival is the iconic representation of the drug-addled culture and sexual revolution that upended American life. This August marks the fiftieth anniversary of the era-defining event. Some have called for celebrating with another concert. The occasion is hardly a cause for celebration—so many of the cultural changes after Woodstock had catastrophic consequences. Most do not know that the concert was a disaster—even from an organizational point of...
