Piers Morgan has sensationally quit Good Morning Britain hours after the launch of a social media campaign which saw more than 40,000 complaints made to Ofcom. The tough-talking morning show host, who has helped rocket the ITV show to its highest ever viewing figures, received a backlash on Twitter after saying he 'didn't believe a word' of Meghan Markle's bombshell Oprah interview - in which the Duchess said she felt like she 'didn't want to be alive anymore'. Today the UK's television regulator announced it would launch an investigation into the comments following a flurry of complaints - driven by...

The American people are really going to regret putting the warmongers back in control. Joe Biden has been in the White House for less than two months, and the warmongers that Biden has surrounded himself with have been feverishly setting the stage for the next war in the Middle East. I do not believe that it will start within the next week, but I do believe that it is inevitable. While President Trump was in the White House for four years, the U.S. didn’t start any new conflicts, but now the Biden administration is quite determined to start projecting “American...

Mike Biundo, a longtime Republican consultant and veteran of the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, told Fox News that the retirements "certainly do" allow the former president to potentially increase his clout over the GOP.

Stopping Construction of the Border Wall There are miles of double-layered walls and fences along the Nogales, Arizona-Mexico border that have dramatically reduced illegal crossings. The border wall is a force multiplier helping our Border Patrol do their job in protecting our country from drug trafficking and human smuggling. I was dumbfounded to find that there are holes in the wall because the Biden administration has issued an order to stop construction on the wall. I visited one site where the panels were already stacked on the ground and ready to be put up. Instead, they are prohibited from completing...

Newly staffed with Biden appointees, the National Labor Relations Board has blocked the request of construction workers in Indiana to hold a vote to decertify their membership in the local carpenters union. Patrick Semmens, vice president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which is assisting the workers, assailed the blocking action, calling it "a direct suppression of these workers' rights. Indiana is a 'right-to-work' state. That means people can't be forced to be union members in order to work. The right to exit a union is every bit as important as the right to enter a union....

As the Lebanese-born essayist and statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb has written, huge cultural changes are wrought by the smallest minorities: “It suffices for an intransigent minority to reach a minutely small level, say three or four percent of the total population, for the entire population to have to submit to their preferences. Further, an optical illusion comes with the dominance of the minority: a naive observer would be under the impression that the choices and preferences are those of the majority.” Taleb’s point is that a small number of intolerant people with a passionate commitment to their cause can command...

For two years, Dak Prescott gambled on himself. And for two years, the Dallas Cowboys sat across the table and bet against their starting quarterback and the mushrooming pay scale that surrounded him. On Monday, the impasse was broken. Or if we’re searching for a more accurate descriptor, Prescott smashed it. The 27-year-old QB achieved a four-year, $160 million deal that essentially makes him the highest paid player in NFL history (based on his contract value at signing) and sets Prescott in the running to achieve a gargantuan windfall over the course of his career that could ultimately make him...

...Here are 10 crazy examples of waste and partisan kick-backs that have nothing to do with COVID-19 but are in the new bill. 1. $1 Billion for ‘Racial Justice’ for Farmers“The $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package being pushed by President Biden puts more than $1 billion toward ‘socially disadvantaged’ farmers and related groups — including an equity commission, agricultural training and other assistance to advance racial justice in farming,” Fox News reports.2. $50 Million for ‘Environmental Justice’ GrantsThe legislation allocates $50 million for “environmental justice” grants via the Environmental Protection Agency. The Republican Study Committee decried these grants as a...

The area where George Floyd died has become known as George Floyd square. It’s a police no-go zone with barricades in the street that are manned by people who are specifically there prevent police from entering. Like the other autonomous zones that have popped up in Seattle and Atlanta, things at the square have gotten out of control. On Saturday a man was shot and killed inside the area. Police received reports about 5:45 p.m. Saturday that two people had been shot and were being brought to the barricades at the entrance to the area. The victim was gone by...

Senate Democrats rejected an amendment to the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says now paves the way for illegal immigrants to receive $1,400 stimulus rebates. "There are 12mm or more illegal immigrants," Cruz tweeted on Sunday. "60% of them are from visa overstays. Many (if not most) of them have social security numbers. Under the bill's language, MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS will get the $1400 checks." According to the text of the Cruz amendment, "any alien who is not lawfully present" would be ineligible for direct stimulus payments or checks. Democrats voted against the amendment...

BuzzFeed acquired HuffPost from Verizon Media in February. BuzzFeed announced layoffs for the HuffPost newsroom on Tuesday, three weeks after acquiring HuffPost from Verizon Media in February.

On this date in 1784, 64-year-old former Landammann of Appenzell,** was beheaded in a nasty bout of local politics. The amiable and fair-minded Suter (wee German bio), a tavernkeeper, won election to his position at the head of a popular party — in the process defeating a local aristocrat who expected the gig as his birthright and nursed a terrible grudge against Suter for the defeat. This aggrieved aristocrat, Geiger by name, had to bide his time all through the 1760s and into the 1770s, until the political stars aligned against Suter. It seems a neighboring town had been able...

A video clip from Joe Biden’s visit to a hardware store in DC shows Biden’s handlers in the background panicking at the prospect of him being asked a question. The clip shows Biden, who is wearing two face masks, appearing distracted as he waves to some people on a higher level while meeting with the store owner. As the owner tries to address Biden again, Biden’s handlers suddenly become agitated and one is repeatedly heard saying, “come on press, let’s go, we’re gonna move out.” “Let’s go you guys, come on let’s go,” she repeats herself as one of the...

Samuel Paty died for a lie. The beloved French teacher was beheaded by a wannabe jihadi who was told by a schoolgirl that Paty showed an image of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on free speech. Now, the teen girl has admitted lying about Paty. Her filthy fib kicked off an online hate campaign targeting the teacher that culminated in his grisly beheading in the street last Oct. 16. The unnamed girl claimed the teacher asked Muslim students to leave the class before allegedly showing the image from Charlie Hebdo. The problem is, it never happened and the girl...

A statement on behalf of his family said: “Trevor Peacock, actor, writer and song-writer, died aged 89 on the morning of 8 March from a dementia-related illness.” Peacock, who was also a prolific stage actor and screenwriter in the 1950s and 60s, was last seen on TV in the 2015 Comic Relief special of the Dawn French’s hugely popular BBC sitcom. Peacock appeared in every episode of the...

In an attempt to pick up border wall construction where former President Donald Trump left off, a state lawmaker in Texas has introduced legislation that would see the construction of a border wall along the Texas-Mexico border. HB 2862 would create a special "border security enhancement fund" to pay for the projects, which includes planning, designing, constructing and maintaining transportation and water infrastructure along the Texas portion of the international border with the purpose of preventing unauthorized crossings, the trafficking of controlled substances and terrorism. The author of the proposed bill, Republican Texas House Rep. Bryan Slaton, moved to name...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical advisor on the Chinese coronavirus, expects high school students will be vaccinated in the fall, making the prediction during a virtual appearance at Tufts University Monday. “Now in a totally different situation with the Biden administration it’s very clear that science does rule uh and evidence and data really determine what we do,” Fauci said during the virtual appearance before explaining when he believes the country will see most children back in school full time.

The family of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran and Trump supporter who was shot dead during the Jan. 6 siege, is open to filing a lawsuit against the officer who pulled the trigger during the unrest.
