Anyone who's ever listened to Stephanie Ruhle's commentary on either NBC Nightly News or her failing daytime show on MSNBC will realize she is extremely partisan and very dumb when it comes to basic economics. She proved this once again during a segment on Wednesday night's NBC Nightly News when she made the preposterous claim that when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it means "the economy is doing well." During a segment on the announcement from the Federal Reserve that the central bank will keep interest rates close to zero and begin raise rates in March, anchor Lester Holt...

Black Lives Matter transferred millions to a Canadian charity run by the wife of its co-founder to purchase a sprawling mansion that had once served as the headquarters of the Communist Party, public records show. M4BJ, a Toronto-based non-profit set up by Janaya Khan and other Canadian activists, snagged the 10,000 square foot historic property for the equivalent of $6.3 million in cash in July 2021, according to Toronto property records viewed by The Post.

The pair would also enter incorrect information into New...

President Biden’s efforts to insert himself into the tense situation in Ukraine drew a sharp rebuke from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. Biden’s warning that “Ukraine is on the brink of being sacked by Russian troops” was rejected by Zelensky as “hysterical panic-mongering. We have already agreed to respect a previous truce with Russia and are working with Germany and France’s acting as mediators to try to reach a more definitive resolution of all the concerns of both sides.” Press Secretary Jen Psaki characterized the agreement and negotiations as “illegitimate. Without the participation and approval of the United States any settlement...

The Republican chairman of the National Governors Association said on Saturday that Donald Trump should not lead Republicans or the country again. "I do not believe Trump is the one to lead our party and our country again, as president," Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told Insider on the sidelines of the NGA Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. Insider asked Hutchinson whether he wants Trump to run following a video that recently surfaced in which Trump declares on the golf course that he is "the 45th and the 47th" president. Asked who should lead instead, Hutchinson said "that's what the election...

This is a rumor and appears unconfirmed. I do find it disturbing that this attempt to silence a fellow citizen is even being made. We need to find a way to 'cancel cancel culture' so to speak. I don't listen to Joe Rogan myself but I wish to defend his right to have a voice and for others to listen to that voice if they so wish.

After the ADL declared Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers to be the most extremist politician in the country, Rogers thanked the ADL “losers” for the accolade. The report from the leftist, pro-Jewish Anti Defamation League, “Extremism on the Ballot in 2022,” was released earlier this week. An “analysis of extremist rhetoric in the elections,” as described by Tammy Gillies, the ADL’s Regional Director for San Diego and Phoenix, the report put Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers “at the top of [the] list.” Rogers, one of the biggest proponents of the America First agenda in the country, was attacked by the...

As indictments and new court filings indicate that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for feeding false reports to the FBI to incriminate Donald Trump and his advisers as Kremlin agents, Clinton’s role in the burgeoning scandal remains elusive. What did she know and when did she know it? Top officials involved in her campaign have repeatedly claimed, some under oath, that they and the candidate were unaware of the foundation of their disinformation campaign: the 35-page collection of now debunked claims of Trump/Russia collusion known as the Steele dossier. Even though her campaign helped pay...

Who’s minding the store? Black Lives Matter burst onto the national scene a few years ago following the officer-involved deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Freddie Gray in Baltimore. In general, no doubt there is a debate about the use of force among police officers in some instances. No doubt bad cops should be held accountable. No doubt, not all police shootings are ‘good’ shoots. Laquan McDonald’s death at the hands of the Chicago Police Department is a prime example, where then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office appears to have pushed for the suppression of the footage in order to...

Two nurses working on Long Island are accused of forging official COVID-19 vaccination cards and entering the information into New York's statewide database -- a scheme that allegedly brought in over $1.5 million. The district attorney in Suffolk County announced Friday the arrests of Julie DeVuono, 49, and Marissa Urrao, 44, who worked at Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare in Amityville. DeVuono was the its owner and operator, the DA said. Between Nov. 2021 and Jan. 2022, the pair allegedly forged vaccine cards, charging $220 for adults and $85 for children. At their arraignment, prosecutors also accused the duo of writing...

The 31-year-old — who smashed through the roof of a black BMW 330i parked below 26 Journal Square in Jersey City when he jumped — had been in critical condition in the days after his dramatic fall on Oct. 6. But despite a mangled right arm, possible internal injuries and bloody gashes on his head, the guy left a treatment center in mid-December, said Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione, a...
