Critics of CNN anchor Don Lemon called for the network to fire him after his controversial comments demeaning 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley. Amidst the furor over Lemon’s statements this week about Haley not being in her "prime" while running for president, Twitter users claimed that this might be the time to finally axe the "CNN This Morning" host.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said Republicans shouldn’t have let Democrats confirm so many Biden nominees to the federal courts when the Senate was evenly split during Biden’s first two years in office. “The truth is the leadership squandered a 50-50 Senate. They could have at the committee level made a major push to vote together and to stop at least the circuit court nominees. Every single one of them would have required a discharge petition. We didn’t do that,” Hawley told The Hill. “There was no concerted effort made whatsoever,” he added. “Say what...

Former President Donald Trump says Democrats and Big Tech colluded to deplatform and "illegally censor" him to hide statements he made on social media stressing peace and lawful behavior on Jan. 6, 2021. "It was shockingly revealed that Twitter colluded with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to Rig and Steal the 2020 Presidential Election in favor of Joe Biden, and to deplatform and illegally censor me," Trump said in a statement provided to Just The News. "As a key example of the corruption within the FBI, Special Agent Charles McGonigal, the head of the now fully 'debunked' Russia,...

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - An Altamonte Springs woman was arrested and booked into jail on several charges after she allegedly loaded a handgun and began to wave it at a McDonald's drive-thru in Florida because she did not receive a free cookie she believed she was owed, according to the arrest affidavit. Amari Bente Hendricks, 24, was booked into the Seminole County Jail on Feb. 16 on several charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, improper exhibit of a firearm, battery causing bodily harm, and resisting an officer, the report said. The McDonald's employee told an officer with the...

VIDEOOn January 2, 2022, YouTube hit my video "Was Remdesivir the Provasic of 2020?" with a Community Guidelines Violation strike and took it down. What you see here in YouTube Files #2 is the back and forth between me and @TeamYouTube on Twitter. Yes, YouTube finally relented but only because of what I suspected was fear of Congress. And speaking of the latter, I hope that the House hearings investigate the unholy alliance between YouTube and Gilead in helping to promote via censorship the latter's highly dangerous drug and expensive drug, Remdesivir. A drug that was promoted by none other...

Who do these skeptic conservatives think they are to question Daddy EPA? Memes, or cartoons in a digital format, stand alone as a medium of communication. In one image, one can clearly convey multi-faceted, or broad concepts to the viewer: For writer Christine Haus at The New York Times though, memes like the one above are nothing more than slimy attempts by Republicans to “sow distrust” in big government. Yesterday, the outlet published Haus’s essay on the current environmental crisis in Ohio — yeah, you know, the one where government officials purposefully ignited some of the most carcinogenic materials known...

ANDERSON, S.C. (WSPA) – From the smell to the unsightly view and constant noise, living near a landfill can be a raw deal. What’s worse, is finding out an expanding landfill is taking in out-of-state trash from as far away as New York. In this Consumer Investigation, 7NEWS learned for one county in particular, that violates a written agreement, and dozens of irate homeowners nearby have filed a lawsuit against the landfill. ... The landfill used to be owned by Anderson County but in the 90s it was sold to private owners, changed hands a few times and has grown...

"Blue Letter" is a song written by brothers Richard and Michael Curtis, first released by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac on their eponymous 1975 album, Fleetwood Mac. It was the only song on the album not written by a band member. Brothers Michael and Richard Curtis met the young couple Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, then known as rock duo Buckingham Nicks and unaffiliated with Fleetwood Mac, through Polydor Records. The group of four became fast friends and worked together on two demos. The first was “Blue Letter”, which, like many of the songs on the Fleetwood Mac album,...

Since the day Joe Biden was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021, catastrophe has become his middle name. Biden has achieved that which is considered almost impossible in current times: the seemingly unattainable achievement of consistency. Unfortunately for Americans, Biden’s consistency happens to be of the most undesired variety. On any given day, the Harris-Biden administration has either breached uncharted territory with their display of incompetence, their disregard for the Constitution, their propensity toward authoritarianism or their display of insensitivity. SNIP Clearly inspired by her superiors, Karen Decker, an acting envoy who is Biden's top-ranking U.S. diplomat assigned to Afghanistan, took...

The current state of the nation's capital is an embarrassment of unrelenting chaos and filth. Every day, a number of innocent victims are carjacked by teenagers illegally wielding guns and engaging in violence. The Washington D.C. City Council, made up entirely of Democrats and leftists, recently voted to reduce penalties for these crimes, ensuring the problem will only get worse — with no recourse for those being threatened and assaulted at the end of the barrel. With crime raging and threatening the city's economic viability, what happened just a few months ago completely undermines the very same democracy Democrats have...

The 56-year-old Lemon might not be terribly bright, but he’s also not dumb. He knows CNN This Morning is it. If this show doesn’t succeed, his next move is to HasbeenVille; is to Didn’t you used to be Don Lemon?; is to Twitter-ranting next to Keith Olbermann. And how is Lemon handling this pressure as he stares into the abyss of his career? Well, that’s the great part. He’s having a total meltdown right before our eyes, which is something I don’t want y’all to miss. Just a couple of weeks ago, we learned that Lemon was screaming at his...

A federal judge in Chicago has denied a motion seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block Illinois’ assault weapons ban and a similar ordinance in Naperville. U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall ruled Friday that the Illinois and Naperville bans on selling assault weapons are “constitutionally sound.” Lawyers for the National Association for Gun Rights and Robert Bevis, who owns a gun store in Naperville, had sought the court orders in a lawsuit to stop the bans. As is now common in such cases, they argued that it’s “impossible” for the new state gun law and a similar...

They said they were not entirely sure and added: "I'm just helping to recruit people. What they told me, I copied and threw it into the...

The US economy, despite the tight labor market, has been shot through the heart by Biden’s economic policies. The Biden Administration (aka, Obama’s third term as President) is giving government a bad name. On the corporate side, US bankruptcies in 2023 had the worst start to a year since 2010 and the financial crisis. On the personal finance side of the ledger, the delinqueny rate on credit cards is growing at the faster rate since 2010. Throw in 22 straight months of negative REAL wage growth, and have a scary situation facing middle America. And the shate of outstanding subprime...

We are being told it is a coincidence, and that there don’t appear to be any political motivations behind the murders. Perhaps that is true. I have no reason one way or another to believe otherwise. But it sure is odd that not one, but two Republican councilmen in New Jersey were murdered in a week, and both had been elected since 2020. The first murder was of Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour of Sayreville; the second of Milford Borough Councilman Russell Heller. The second murder may have been work-related, as his killer shared the same employer. However, nobody is saying “boo”...
