How completely dishonest is Nancy Pelosi? – Today, she said she was “satisfied” with the way Joe Biden has responded to the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against him. To be clear, Joe Biden has yet to say a single word about the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against him. Your demented, despicable, disgusting, disgraceful, depraved Democrat Party in action. Oh, but it gets better. Thursday morning, #FireChrisHayes spent hours trending on Twitter. Shockingly, it wasn’t trending due to outraged Trump fans going after the corrupt MSNBC host. No, no, no. It was trending because Hayes missed the Media Matters/DNC...

Community Health Systems, HCA Healthcare and Universal Health Services received a total of more than $1 billion from the $100 billion emergency relief fund for healthcare providers created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The three for-profit hospital operators disclosed the grants during their first quarter earnings calls. Each company also received advance Medicare payments to help offset the financial impact of COVID-19. The advance payments are loans that must be repaid, while the grants do not require repayment. Here is a breakdown of the grants and advance payments each company had received at the time of...

The College Fix recently asked 1,000 students: “How has the quality of your education changed because your college or university moved its courses online due to the coronavirus?” Fifty-four percent of students said it’s “somewhat worse,” and another 25 percent replied it’s “significantly worse,” for a total of 79 percent.

Have you ever thrown together a last-minute party, with no planning, no promotion, no paid staff, no money spent…and 8,000 to 10,000 people showed up? I have.It happened last week in Las Vegas. And you need to hear about it. A week ago, I decided to announce an idea on my nationally-syndicated Las Vegas radio show. I announced a “Open the Nevada Economy” protest caravan. I called it, “the World’s Safest Protest.” Because the entire protest would happen in our cars, listening to all the speeches, interviews and play by play, on my national radio show, on your car radio....

Roger Stone's lawyers told a court on Thursday that they intend to appeal the right-wing political operative's 40-month prison sentence and a judge's decision to deny him a new trial.

VIDEO Remember how until recently liberals and Deep Staters such as current FBI Director Christopher Wray and former Director James Comey would try to shut down any skepticism about the motives of the FBI by exclaiming that you CANNOT question the integrity of that agency? Well, you probably won't be hearing that defense much longer as shocking new evidence has come to light about how the FBI has FRAMED General Michael Flynn. Oh, and remember that it was James Comey who "sent them."

CNN’s Don Lemon addressed former Vice President Joe Biden’s sexual assault allegation Tuesday in an interview with former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Abrams is one of Biden’s vice president hopefuls and was grilled by Lemon about the allegation against Biden on “CNN Tonight.” Lemon is one of the only hosts from legacy outlets to ask a potential vice president about Biden’s allegations. Former senate staffer Tara Reade accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s. Biden has denied the allegation through a spokesperson, but has yet to address the allegation himself.

One of five physicians in front-line treatment roles has prescribed hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, according to a new survey from health care market research company InCrowd. The most common treatments were acetaminophen, prescribed to 82% of patients, antibiotics (41%), and bronchodilators (40%), InCrowd said after surveying 203 primary care physicians, pediatricians, and emergency medicine or critical care physicians who are treating at least 20 patients with flulike symptoms. On April 24, the Food and Drug Administration warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine outside of hospitals and clinical trials. The InCrowd survey, which took place April 14-15 and is the...

The struggle between President Trump’s drive to reopen the American economy as quickly as possible, and the insistence by his public health team and many others that this has to be delayed until further hurdles are overcome, is largely a false dilemma. We can simultaneously increase protection for those who are most vulnerable to coronavirus and, with appropriate precautions, reopen most of our economy and society. The key to unlocking this false dilemma is a clear understanding of who, in fact, is most vulnerable to death from this novel killer — and who is not. As data from the deaths...

A new US study of the state prisons system found 3,300 inmates had tested positive for the coronavirus in four states. But only 4% of those infected with the virus showed any symptoms.Hat Tip to James CreighReuters reported: Four states have conducted widespread Covid testing of inmates in their state prison systems. These tests showed (i) most prisoners have already been infected with the virus and (ii) most importantly, more than 95% of those who were infected showed no symptoms. These results are even more remarkable because there are many inmates with underlying health issues and because males are dying...

British researchers who are currently conducting human trials of a potential coronavirus vaccine will know if it’s effective by the summer, possibly as early as June, according to the chief executive officer of the pharmaceutical company that is working alongside Oxford University scientists in its development. Pascal Soriot, the head of pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca, told Sky News that scientists will know if the vaccine works by “June or July.” On Thursday, AstraZeneca announced a partnership with Oxford University in the development and distribution of the potential vaccine, which is being developed by the Jenner Institute and Oxford Vaccine Group. The...

Joe Biden’s calling on President Trump to lower the flag at the White House to half-staff to honor the more than 60,000 Americans who’ve died from the COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus. In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee said that “by the end of this month we will have lost more people to the coronavirus — dead — than we lost in the entire Vietnam War — Americans lost in the entire Vietnam War. And know, I think the president should lower the flag on the White House to...

As we started holding politicians and business leaders and celebrities around the world accountable for their actions, it was easy to sort things into their respective buckets: this is wrong, this is right. Holding people accountable for their actions was not only right, it was just. Except it’s not always so easy, and living in the gray areas is something we’re trying to figure out in the world of social media. But here’s something social media doesn’t afford us–nuance. The world is gray. And as uncomfortable as that makes people, gray is where the real change happens. Black and white...

O’Keefe strikes again! Project Veritas spoke to several funeral directors in New York who are doubting the legitimacy of COVID-19 labeled death certificates. “To be honest with you, all the death certificates, they’re writing COVID on all the death certificates whether they had a positive test, whether they didn’t, so I think, you know again this is my personal opinion, I think like the Mayor (Bill de Blasio) in our city (NYC), they’re looking for federal funding and, the more they put COVID on the death certificate the more they can ask for federal funds,” Funeral Director, Colonial Home Michael...

Newly unsealed FBI notes that discussed motivations behind interviewing then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in the White House in January 2017 were written by the FBI's former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap, Fox News is told. This is not the first time that Priestap’s name has come up in connection with high-profile matters. When Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report on the origins of the Russia investigation, he revealed that it was Priestap who made the ultimate decision to launch the probe, which was known within the FBI as “Crossfire Hurricane.” Flynn’s case, based on charges that...

Michael Flynn is celebrating the newest developments in his case, as the Justice Department unsealed FBI files revealing agents discussed their motivations for interviewing him in the Russia probe—questioning whether they wanted to “get him to lie” so he'd be fired or prosecuted, or get him to admit wrongdoing. But whether or not this leads to his vindication legally, the case has come at an enormous cost for the retired three-star Army lieutenant general and his family, as he racked up millions of dollars in legal bills, was forced to sell his house, lost his job, and saw his reputation...

If there was ever any question about the dishonesty and corruption that poisoned the case against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, newly released documents erase all doubt. For more than three years, the FBI and federal prosecutors concealed exculpatory evidence proving that the retired Army lieutenant general and former National Security Adviser committed no crimes. James Comey’s FBI knew it, and special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors knew it. They didn’t care. An innocent man could be sacrificed. In their zeal to damage President Trump, Comey and his confederates devised a devious scheme in January of 2017 to target and frame Flynn....

New Jersey’s Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday praised President Trump’s work to deliver federal support to the state during the coronavirus crisis.
