Since the departure of Meghan McCain from ABC's "The View" earlier this year, the oft-raucous panel has lacked a permanent Republican panelist, and several of the cohosts are pushing the network to nix the rotation of guest hosts and select a conservative replacement, according to Politico. The past few months have featured guest hosting stints by a range of conservative women including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Hewlett-Packard chief executive officer Carly Fiorina, former Fox News journalist Gretchen Carlson, political commentator S.E. Cupp, former White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah, and former State Department spokesperson Morgan...

Chartered jets carrying mostly minor-age, illegal immigrants into Scranton, Pennsylvania have attracted the attention of leading conservative lawmakers in the state, The National Pulse can reveal. Congressman Dan Meuser as well as gubernatorial candidate Lou Barletta have urged immigration authorities as well as Governor Tom Wolf to explain what one source told The National Pulse were “ghost flights” into Scranton International Airport over the course of December. The term “ghost flight” was used to describe the secretive nature of the flights, some of which arrived at night, without passenger manifests being made available. Beginning on December 11th and set to...

From culture and foreign policy to COVID-19 and the economy, a close look reveals Biden’s first year was worse than either party thought it would be. Biden started the year with a huge misstep for cultural conservatives when he released a Jan. 20 executive order on “preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.” While not an official law, this order did pave the way for federally funded entities such as schools to ban single-sex bathrooms, as administrators with the Chicago Public Schools did recently . Biden signaled within the first few days of holding...

Cuba and China have signed a cooperation plan to push forward construction projects under Beijing’s controversial overseas infrastructure program, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which has saddled many participating countries with heavy debt loads. The Chinese Embassy in Cuba announced the agreement on its website on Dec. 26, saying that the deal was inked two days earlier by He Lifeng, head of China’s top economic planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, and Cuban Vice Prime Minister Ricardo Cabrisas. The agreement implemented a memorandum of understanding the two nations signed in 2018, when Cuba agreed to become a...

When asked to name the president who has done the best job over the past 40 years, a majority of Democrats name Barack Obama. Republicans, by contrast, are divided between a president who served in the 1980s – Ronald Reagan – and the one who left office this year, Donald Trump.

The Substack Modern Discontent recently posted an anthology series on the benefits of quercetin, including the finding that it works like hydroxychloroquine, a drug found to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 when used early enough. Part 1 begins with a brief overview of what quercetin is and its basic mechanisms of action. Quercetin is a flavonoid found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, such as onions and shallots, apples, broccoli, asparagus, green peppers, tomatoes, red leaf lettuce, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, black currants and green tea. The quercetin content in any given food is largely dependent on light exposure, though,...

An MSNBC panel that was ostensibly not a satirical comedy skit argued that the FBI and CIA should investigate the prank caller who tricked senile president Joe Biden into insulting himself with a “let’s go Brandon” salutation during a Santa-tracking event on Christmas Eve. Former senator Claire McCaskill joined one-time nominal Republican Nicolle Wallace and Jason Johnson in dissecting what was referred to as a “slow motion insurrection.”

A law professor in Chicago has been ordered to undergo mandatory reeducation as punishment for using an abbreviated version of a racial slur in a legal hypothetical about race-based employment discrimination on an exam.The question posed on the civil procedure exam by Jason Kilborn, a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, included the following sentence, which was deemed hurtful to students:“Employer’s lawyer traveled to meet the manager, who stated that she quit her job at Employer after she attended a meeting in which other managers expressed their anger at Plaintiff, calling her a ‘n____’ and ‘b____’...

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in a reversal of a previous recommendation, cut the number of days of isolation for Americans who contract COVID-19 from 10 days to five days regardless of vaccination status.The agency similarly shortened the time that close contacts of COVID-19 need to quarantine. Authorities with the CDC said that its latest guidance is in line with more and more evidence suggesting that those who contract the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus are the most infectious two days before and three days after symptoms emerge.Meanwhile, the CDC said that a surge in the...

A woman who formerly worked as a luxury real estate agent in California has been revealed as the Delta passenger who was arrested by the FBI for attacking an 80-year-old man on a plane, after he removed his face mask to eat. Patricia Cornwall, a real estate agent previously based in Los Angeles, who in the 1990s was - according to TikLeak - a member of the Raiderettes cheerleaders for the Las Vegas NFL team, was on a Thursday flight from Tampa to Atlanta when the altercation took place. Cornwall had recently moved to Florida, Heavy.com reported. She posted on...

Today was not a sterling day when it comes to Joe Biden and his communication with the public. Not that any day is particularly good for him. But first, he blew off federal responsibility on COVID, saying there was “no federal solution” — that the answer was with the states. This was exactly the opposite of what he ran on, saying he had a plan to stop COVID and then not doing so once he took office. Then he was asked why he rejected a plan from health experts in October to have 732 million COVID test kits up and...

Authorities arrested five suspects in Delaware on Wednesday night who were discovered traveling in a vehicle that was carjacked at gunpoint from Representative Mary Gay Scanlon (D., Pa.) hours earlier. Scanlon was one of 125 Democratic sponsors of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which aimed to make it easier for states and localities to replace police officers with social workers and other first responders. The 62-year old congresswoman handed over the keys to her 2017 blue Acura MDX at gunpoint on Wednesday at FDR Park in South Philadelphia. Scanlon was approached by two black men who demanded the...

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump needed to be prosecuted for not trying to stop the violence during the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. McCaskill said, “We can go through, and we can put the images at a specific time. And we can then fill in the text messages, the phone calls that were flooding the White House saying, get him to call them off. Now, what was he watching on TV at those moments? He was watching windows being broken. He was watching police officers being stabbed with...

In this episode of “Republicans Are Racist”…Let’s begin with a basic premise that should be supported by every loyal citizen of every country on the planet: Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote in elections. Period. That should not even be a question.Unless you’re a Congressional Democrat, that is. In that case, undocumented Democrats are your thing.As reported by John Solomon’s Just the News, the issue of “non-citizen” voting first came to a boil big-time at the end of the 2018 Georgia governor’s race, when Democrat Stacey Abrams suggested the “blue wave” of voters she hoped would put in her...

The third impeachment witch hunt of former President Donald Trump led by unchecked grand inquisitors Reps. Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney of the so-called Jan. 6 select committee is the phoniest one yet. In 2019, Mr. Trump became a victim of the first impeachment hoax based on a routine phone call with the president of Ukraine. On the heels of his failed three-year Russia collusion embarrassment, conspiracy theorist Rep. Adam B. Schiff ran a desperate sham trial complete with a fake whistleblower to impeach Mr. Trump for absolutely no reason. Later, when President Biden was found engaging in a similar...

The 44-year-old reportedly just closed on a $4.5 million property in L.A.'s Hidden Hills that happens to be right across the street from estranged wife Kim Kardashian's abode. The 3,651 square-foot home is located in the same neighborhood where the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum lives in the pair's formerly-shared mansion, which is now estimated to be worth $60 million, according to Daily Mail.

Schumer, Pelosi, Swalwell, Blumenthal...they all reportedly took the Nord Stream 2 lobbyist/Democrat party bundler's cash — and Schumer, curiously enough, blocked a vote on sanctions. Democrats for years have accused President Trump of being in bed with Vladimir Putin, but a new investigative report from Daniel Greenfield demonstrates pretty damningly that they're the ones who've been keeping Putin's bed warm. Greenfield singles out Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer as Exhibit A: Schumer, along with a number of other top Democrats, is a beneficiary of campaign contributions from top Democrat fundraiser Vincent Roberti whose lobbying firm was paid over $8.5 million...
