MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” former president Donald Trump and FNC’s Tucker Carlson are “associating themselves” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Wallace said, “I want to put up this kind of axis of Putin, Trump, Tucker Carlson, because I think we have mistakenly thought that world events or tragedies or a red line or the slaughter of innocents or as Tony Blinken says, ‘the commission of war crimes,’ that these things could be defrosted, they could be put on ice, but it is clear they are not. Tucker Carlson has been amplifying Russian disinformation: March...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Joe Biden’s ongoing war on fossil fuels are jacking up oil prices, and now left-wing climate change activists are adding to high energy costs by pressuring banks to stop investing in fossil fuels in the name of stopping “climate change.” The pressure comes in the form of a report titled “Banking on Climate Chaos: Fossil Fuel Finance Report 2022,” which seeks to shame the banks into dropping oil, gas, and other fossil fuel energy resources. And the effort is backed by well-funded climate activists groups, including the Sierra Club and Oil Change International.

Former President George W. Bush met with illegal aliens this week to promote his amnesty and legal immigration expansion agenda, snubbing Angel Families who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime in the process. On Tuesday, Bush and former first lady Laura Bush met with illegal aliens Gerardo Casas, Rebeca Gurrola, and Dip Patel — all of whom are enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — as well as mass migration advocates from Jewish Family Service of San Diego and the American Nursery & Landscape Association.

WASHINGTON - In a decision that could dramatically undercut President Joe Biden’s ambitious climate goals, the Commerce Department said Monday it is investigating whether imports of solar panels from Southeast Asia are circumventing anti-dumping rules that limit imports from China. Clean energy leaders said the investigation - which could result in retroactive tariffs of up to 240% - would severely hinder the U.S. solar industry, leading to thousands of layoffs and imperiling up to 80% of planned solar projects in the U.S. Such an outcome would jeopardize one of Biden's top clean energy goals and run counter to his administration's...

Fox News host Jesse Watters shared statistics Tuesday challenging the acuity of America's perception of reality, saying that America is being brainwashed by the Left. JESSE WATTERS: Have you ever miscalculated and paid the price for it? I certainly have. Maybe you drove past the gas station thinking your tank could make it just a few more miles … or you went on a family vacation and miscounted how many kids you have. … miscalculating leads to mistakes, and what happens when you make a mistake? You overcorrect. When a ref blows a pass interference call, he usually gives that...

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientist says the agency sending a draft of its school reopening guidance to a powerful teachers union was unusual. “It’s uncommon,” said Dr. Henry Walke, who directs the CDC’s Center for Preparedness and Response. It’s also not common for the CDC to incorporate line-by-line edits from outside groups into its guidance, according to Walke. The career government scientist was speaking in February to staff members on the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Portions of the interview were released on March 30. Earlier releases show that the CDC used...

The governor of Ukraine's northwestern Rivne region said Russian forces had carried out a rocket strike on an oil depot in the region on Monday. In a short video address posted online, governor Vitaliy Koval said emergency services were at the scene, but did not give further details. Earlier on Monday, Ukrainian forces had seized back full control of Irpin, a town near capital Kyiv, which has been one of the main hotspots of fighting with Russian troops, the mayor said on Monday. The United States assessed that Ukrainian forces have also retaken the town of Trostyanets, south of Sumy,...

The Cook Political Report has lowered the number of seats Democrats are projected to gain from redistricting in the wake of major court decisions in two states. “Owing to court decisions in Maryland & Ohio, Democrats are now on track to net 1-2 House seats nationally from redistricting alone,” Cook Political Report senior editor David Wasserman tweeted Tuesday. The Cook Political Report previously estimated that Democrats would net four to five seats in Congress. The new, downgraded estimate is a sign that Republicans are posed to do better than expected in the redistricting battle. The stunning development comes after a...

Agreements with FEC call for payments of $105,000, $8,000 We now know that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign for president in 2016 misled the federal government about funding that infamous and thoroughly debunked "Steele dossier" that made wild and unsubstantiated allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump. It's because they've agreed to pay fines of $105,000, and $8,000, respectively, for those actions that broke federal law.

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Marx Thinks Practised Homosexuality Is “Not A Sin"Homosexuality is "not a sin," Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx told the anti-Catholic Stern.de (30 March).Marx calls homosexuality "love" that shows itself "precisely in the sexual encounter [sic!]", although sin and love are opposites.Ten years ago, Marx could not have imagined staging a homosexual service, as he did in March.It "doesn't matter" to him that this “offends" Catholics [and God]. He feels freer to say what he "thinks" and wants to "take Church teaching further" [into the abyss].Marx believes that God seeks communion with homosexuals. For him, "it is rather sinful...

A 33-year-old French cryptocurrency expert who was shot at point-blank range by a robber trying to steal his $450,000 Richard Mille watch says he believes he was targeted and followed for hours or days before being ambushed outside his Manhattan hotel.

Federal tax probe into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings gains momentum Fox News contributor Miranda Devine reacted on "Outnumbered" Tuesday to the federal tax probe into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings gaining momentum as some media outlets begin to acknowledge the "bombshell" controversy surrounding his infamous laptop. MIRANDA DEVINE: That’s just another extraordinary mistruth from President Biden there. He did that throughout the campaign. He pretended that he knew nothing about his son Hunter's overseas business dealings. There’s plenty of evidence on the laptop and Tony Bobulinski's material and the material that Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson collected for their...

It's remarkable to me how people don't hear the words coming out of their mouths. MSNBC wanted a sob story from a teacher about how Ron DeSantis' "Parental Rights in Education" bill is adversely affecting them. That's the legislation that critics call the "Don't Say Gay" bill, but people who have read it know it just says teachers can't push sex and gender on kids 3rd grade and under. MSNBC chose Cody Bernaert, who is upset he can't talk about his personal life to his students anymore. He teaches kindergarten. In other words, five-year-olds. "My kids do have questions. They...

3. Product of the USA Meat Beef and Pork can be raised and slaughtered in Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Brazil, China, etc… It’s then shipped over here to be cut into your supermarket steaks, roasts and burgers… And legally labeled as “Product of the USA!” Sad, but true. Those cattle and pigs didn’t breath a single breath of United States air to merit this status. But shoppers will never know the difference. A Stone Barns Center report says 75-80% of all “USA” grass-fed beef sold online or in grocery stores is imported from overseas. It is shocking that United States...
