New York Times economist Paul Krugman must be a glutton for punishment. He’s gone from spending months downplaying the surging inflation threat, to admitting he was wrong on inflation, to now dismissing it altogether as a crisis. Krugman appeared on the Feb. 11 edition of Bloomberg TV’s Balance of Power to discuss how the Federal Reserve shouldn’t use “shock therapy” when it comes to finally raising interest rates from zero. After conceding that there was “underlying overheating” in the economy that demands the Fed consistently raise rates to fight off inflation, Krugman then spiraled into spewing utter nonsense: “It’s not...

KANSAS CITY, Mo — American Airlines flight 1775 had to make an emergency landing at MCI this afternoon. The flight was headed from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. when an unruly passenger tried to cause chaos mid-flight. According to another passenger on the plane, Mouaz Moustafa, some aboard weren’t initially aware of what was going on. “A flight attendant comes to the middle of the plane where I am, yells to another flight attendant in the back to turn on the lights. At this time, the plane starts descending very rapidly, I think we reached 5,000 feet per minute,” Moustafa...

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti forwent covering his face at Sunday’s Super Bowl, breaking his own mask mandate again after claiming earlier in February he held his breath while taking a maskless photo with former NBA star Magic Johnson. While fans attending sporting events in Los Angeles County are required to wear masks at so-called “mega events,” Garcetti was noticed and subsequently hammered on Twitter for not wearing one.

OAN Newsroom UPDATED 9:45 AM PT – Monday, February 14, 2022 Donald Trump said Special Counsel John Durham has revealed top Democrats actually spied on the President of the United States. In a series of statements on Sunday, the 45th president said Hillary Clinton and Democrats committed a far bigger crime than Watergate, which is an insult to the American people. Trump pointed out, it will be interesting to see what the media and RINOs like Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will do about it. His comments come as Durham has found Clinton paid hackers to breach Trump Tower servers to...

Former President Donald Trump excoriated the mainstream media on Monday for ignoring allegations that Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign paid a tech company to 'infiltrate' Trump Tower and White House servers in a bid to establish a link to Russia. Trump said the bombshell claims, detailed in a court filing by Special Counsel John Durham, were 'bigger than Watergate' in reference to the scandal that caught former President Richard Nixon spying on political rivals. He added that the lack of coverage on the matter on more liberal-leaning networks was a 'scandal' itself, in contrast with the steady stream of pundits and...

here’s the real problem — a national emergency declaration would not change how the police are handling the protests.... So if a national emergency doesn’t override provincial or municipal “control or direction” of police aren’t we back at square one, where the police with jurisdiction are dealing with the problem? ... Some might argue that federal prohibitions like that cited earlier regarding public assemblies breaching the peace are reason enough to declare a national emergency, giving the police additional powers, but in Ontario and most other provinces those prohibitions can be made under a provincial emergency declaration, or even a...

Just over a year ago, we told you that the DeLorean DMC 12 may make a return to market as a fully electric vehicle. Now, it appears the early plans may become a reality, as the company with official rights to the DeLorean name aims to launch an all-electric DeLorean DMC in 2021. The original DeLorean Motor Company no longer exists, though there is still a DeLorean Motor Company, which isn't affiliated with the car's original maker. According to Autocar, as the story goes, former British engineer Stephen Wynne acquired the rights to the DeLorean name way back in 1995....

Donald Trump suffered greatly for things he didn't do. For four years we endured the execrable Russian collusion lies from the scum bags of the left. It cost Trump the midterms. It, along with the electoral shenanigans, cost him the 2020 election. It began when Trump was spied on by Barack Obama, who routinely used government resources to spy on Americans, especially reporters. Obama had Samantha Powers unmasking Americans and their communications on a daily basis. The obama regime abused FISA on a monumental level. The goal there was to destroy Trump. Neither obama nor any of his minions were...

CNBC’s on-air editor Rick Santelli tore apart the Federal Reserve following the devastating report that inflation spiked to 7.5 percent for the highest level in forty years. Santelli ripped the Fed for its lackluster approach to fighting inflation along with Leuthold Group Chief Investment Strategist Jim Paulson's seemingly out-of-touch positive prediction on the U.S inflation outlook during the Feb. 10 edition of Squawk Box. Paulson predicted that inflation will recede from 7.5 percent towards the end of the year down to around three and a half percent and four percent. “I just love what [Paulson is] saying because I don’t...

Just a few short years ago, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) was beloved by progressives and considered "courageous" by the left because she came out as bisexual. She was, in fact, the first openly bisexual member of the United States Senate, a trailblazer, a living, breathing, shagging combination of Neil Armstrong, Jackie Robinson, and Rosa Parks, one of the finest people ever to tread the Earth. Yet, despite her genital inclusiveness, progressives now consider Sinema a horrible person because she's sticking to her guns, refusing to change her political beliefs, and doing what she thinks is best for the country, not...

Jared Isaacman, the billionaire who flew to Earth orbit on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule last year, plans to fly with SpaceX again. Today, Isaacman announced that he’s purchased three additional upcoming flights with SpaceX, a series of missions called “Polaris” that would take him deeper into space on the company’s spacecraft. Isaacman, who made his fortune through his payment processing company Shift4 Payments, made headlines last year when he bankrolled an entire SpaceX Crew Dragon passenger mission in September, dubbed Inspiration4. He filled the three remaining seats on the vehicle with other civilian astronauts, including a childhood cancer survivor, an...

Joe Biden managed to cobble together a sentence during an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt over the weekend, declaring that his message to people who want COVID to be over is that their personal freedoms come second to his mandates. “What’s your message to people who want desperately for [Covid] to be over and to be able to resume the lives they remember?” Holt asked Biden. “If your exercising personal freedom puts someone else in jeopardy, their health in jeopardy, I don’t consider that freedom,” Biden sarcastically stated in response, before telling people who don’t want to continue wearing masks...
