President Joe Biden responded with a statement after Thursday's night's bombshell development that West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin wanted to wait next month's inflation figures before agreeing to a deal with his party's leadership on Biden's key agenda items. With Biden on a trip to Saudi Arabia, the White House issued a statement on a day when several leading Senate Democrats denounced Manchin's move, which appeared to signal the end of many key progressive priorities on climate and other issues. 'Action on climate change and clean energy remains more urgent than ever. So let me be clear: if the...

Monkeypox infections in New York City are overwhelmingly being found in men - with more than half of cases being detected among lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer people as well. Officials in the Big Apple revealed the first snapshot of the demographics of people that have been infected with the tropical virus. Of the 336 cases in the city - the most of any singular locality in America - 321 are among men, with no confirmed cases among women. The remaining five percent of cases are split between transgender persons and cases where the gender is unknown.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has claimed that President Joe Biden takes 'pills' to boost his cognitive performance before public appearances. Biden, 79, has strenuously rejected similar allegations in the past, but Carlson claimed on his Friday evening show that he had spoken 'directly' to a witness who saw the alleged medication on the 2020 campaign trail. 'His staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every public appearance. Checking the time, and at the certain hour giving him a dose of something,' said Carlson.

Way right Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday claimed he has “woke math’s” number, and he doesn’t like it. He railed about the mysterious mathematics Friday in a speech in Tampa to a group of conservative Moms for Liberty who are opposed to several aspects of education. DeSantis was unable to elucidate exactly what “woke math’ is. He indicated that it’s math with little regard for correct calculations, which was news to the world. “I’m just thinking to myself like, 2 + 2 equals 4. It’s not 2 + 2 equals: Well how do you feel about that? Is...

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s day of whistle stops in the Ottawa area ended early Friday as anti-Liberal protesters gathered outside a brewery before he arrived. Following uneventful stops in Gatineau Park in Quebec and two Ottawa suburbs earlier in the day, Trudeau was on his way to the Brasserie Etienne Brule Brewery in Embrun, Ont., about 30 minutes east of Ottawa. The event was called off before he arrived. About a dozen protesters gathered across the street from the brewery, including one who was carrying a flag emblazoned with a profanity directed at Trudeau, and another who was...

Author and intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the January 6 riot at the Capitol was only the start of the “Trump insurgency.”Nance said, “As you recall, on November 6, 2020, I was on ‘Real Time’ with Bill Maher, and when everyone was on the show preaching kumbaya and come together and understand the Trump voters, and I say I have some bad news and they are going into insurgency. An insurgency is not an insurrection. That’s just one action that takes place during an insurgency. An insurgency is a broad campaign that may involve...

President Trump annihilates RINOs, “losers” and backstabbers in a Save America StatementIn a statement put out today by President Trump, he identifies and absolutely crushes 5 RINOs and backstabbers whom he describes as “shortsighted ‘losers'” who spend their time criticizing him and the America First movement, while providing nothing positive to the Republican Party or to this nation.President Trump’s statement reads:I listen to all of these foolish (stupid!) people, often living in a bygone era, like the weak and frail RINO, Peggy Noonan, who did much less for Ronald Reagan than she claims, and who actually said bad things about...

TAMPA, Fla. -- Before a friendly audience of conservative moms, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday excoriated political opponents of wanting to “sexualize” children and warp kids’ understanding of race and history. The charged campaign rhetoric in remarks to the Moms for Liberty group was usual fare for DeSantis — and a major reason why he’s in the top tier of potential GOP presidential candidates who now sits on an unprecedented $130 million war chest. But the political backdrop was as atypical as unexpected: The day before his speech, one of the national teacher unions that opposes him released a...

HUGE update from Durham! He just issued 30 unnamed subpoenas for witnesses to appear in trial against Russian Lawyer Danchenko, charged with 5 counts of lying to the FBI. Danchenko was the main source of the completely fabricated Steele Dossier, which was used as the legal justification to illegally spy on then Presidential candidate and eventually President, Donald J. Trump. The witnesses will appear in trial beginning October 11th. The timing is a MASSIVE tell. PRIMED a month out from the midterms, giving time for a full media cycle leading up to the vote. Repeatedly peppering the minds of normies...

American High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems being used in Ukraine are making an impact on the conflict there between Ukrainians fighting to preserve their national sovereignty and Russian forces who have illegally invaded that country. The M142 HIMARS system allows for the launching of multiple, precision-guided rockets. Already, the U.S. had provided eight of the systems to Ukraine and last week promised to send an additional four, for a total of 12 of the systems. During a background briefing today at the Pentagon, a senior military official said the Defense Department believes the HIMARS are having an indirect, but significant...

In 2016, American liberals threatened—half seriously—that they would move somewhere more progressive if Donald Trump won the presidential election. That spring, Spotify released a tongue-in-cheek playlist called “Moving up to Canada” with the description, “Some of you might choose Canada this November … here’s the perfect soundtrack.” Now that the Supreme Court has issued the Dobbs decision overturning Roe, thus denying women the constitutional right to an abortion, the threat is back. It seems more serious and, at any rate, is much easier to carry out, because somewhere more progressive could be just across state lines, no expatriation required. The...

Millions of Ontarians can expect to get some extra cash from the federal government on Friday. The first round of the Climate Action Incentive Payment, a tax-free rebate to offset the cost of the federal carbon price initiative, will be automatically deposited for eligible residents. The payments issued on July 15 will go to individuals in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, who are at least 19 years of age. Other provinces have the funds directed back to the provincial government. The climate action incentive was previously a refundable tax credit claimed annually on income tax returns, but the payment will...

A New York City bar owner with a full tank of gripes is selling a gallon of beer for the price of a gallon of gas — an effort to protest the Biden administration’s failure fueling historic inflation. Patrick Hughes, owner of Scruffy Duffy's on Tenth Avenue in Manhattan, also hopes to raise awareness around the challenges that continue to devastate America's small-business owners. "It’s just our way of calling attention to the insanity of inflation right now, especially gas prices," Hughes, a NYC pub owner for 32 years, told Fox News Digital.
