MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that there was “a sickness in the the state of Texas” led by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) while reacting to a mass shooting in Allen, TX on Saturday and migrants being killed by an SUV in Brownsville, TX on Sunday. Scarborough said, “You have a group of migrants being run down and killed here. The U.S. has by far the highest child and teen firearm mortality rate among poor countries. Our little children are being slaughtered. And Greg Abbott has nothing to say about it. He just wants to...

Since the agreement was announced FOX News fired Tucker Carlson, lost at least half of its audience, and watched left-wing publications leak out Tucker Carlson videos that were captured during discovery in the lawsuit. Now FOX News is threatening to kill the deal after the Tucker Carlson videos were released to the public. The Daily Mail reported: [Fox News demanded that Dominion Voting Systems conduct an internal investigation to determine whether it was responsible for the leak of damning text messages sent by former anchor Tucker Carlson. Recently, Fox wrote Dominion saying evidence documents it provided to the company during...

*Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson issued a response to racists who compare Black people to monkeys, and he used former president Barack Obama as an example. Speaking to VladTV, Tyson explained why white people look more like monkeys than Black people. "I know you did an interview recently [about] the racist things people have said about Black people and monkeys and so forth," Vlad said. "But you said when you scientifically look at white people [you said] monkeys are hairy, and white people are the hairiest people…" "On Earth," Tyson said, completing the host’s sentence. When Vlad, who is white, admits,...

It's deja vu all over again. A man is dead in the subway system of New York City and the responses were all too predictable. Jordan Neely, a sometimes Michael Jackson street impersonator, died after being put in a chokehold by an ex-Marine, Daniel Penny. The NY Times and the Washington Post seized upon it to rebrand the dead man into a totally innocent victim, with the Post even raising the specter of racism. "Senior prosecutors" are looking into the death (which means, as this is Alvin Bragg's turf, you can bet Penny will be charged with murder and as...

Most favor protecting trans people from discrimination, but fewer support policies related to medical care for gender transitions; many are uneasy with the pace of change on trans issues

There is reason to doubt the political sanity of U.S. House Republicans who are refusing to raise the debt ceiling that allows the United States government to pay debts already incurred by past acts of Congress. There is also plenty of reason to doubt their sincerity. Regarding sincerity, Republican congressmen only threaten to put the nation in default when a Democrat is in the White House. Though spending and debt have gone up and up through four administrations, they did not go to the brink for their elastic fiscal principles when George W. Bush was president, nor when Donald Trump...

July is scorching in Mexicali. The Mexican city just across the border from Calexico, California, averages 108 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, but temperatures often swell into the 120s. In 1955, thousands of disoriented people roamed the city’s streets as the sun bore down on them. They had just been dumped there by American immigration officials—snatched from their lives and jobs in the United States and thrown into a city where they didn’t know anyone. These Mexican immigrants had been caught in the snare of Operation Wetback, the biggest mass deportation of undocumented workers in United States history. As many...

Dallas Stars Head Coach Peter DeBoer, whose team is currently competing in the NHL playoffs, reacted to the shooting at a Dallas area mall that left at least eight people dead over the weekend, saying, “Somebody has to have some answers for it.” “I don’t pretend to know the answer on how to fix it, but it’s too great a country [with] too many intelligent people not to do something about it,” DeBoer said in a pregame press conference on Sunday.

“When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful…. That’s the iron-law of the universe, the truth prevails.” — Tucker CarlsonCan we stop pretending that Tucker Carlson was fired because of the Dominion lawsuit? That’s a bunch of baloney. Carlson was fired because he used his prime-time platform to expose the crimes and illicit goings-on of the most powerful men, corporations and agencies in the world. That’s why he was fired, because he revealed the truth about big pharma’s toxic injections, Fauci’s deranged lockdowns, Brandon’s police-state surveillance, the expansive deep-state censorship program, CRT, BLM, ESG, George Floyd, drag-queen children’s...

VIDEOIf you want to see an example of the large societal change that has occurred in the USA over the past 60 years, compare the attitudes of Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa with today's barista having a meltdown over work.

The Texas mall mass shooter reportedly recorded a bizarre message on his cellphone answering machine – informing his provider that he paid his bill, asking his parents for cash and telling female callers he has “plenty of money.” Mauricio Garcia, who killed eight people and wounded seven others with an AR-15-style assault rifle at the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen on Saturday, appeared to obsess about money in the message, according to records obtained by Fox News Digital. “Hi, this is Mauricio. If you’re the phone company I sent you the money, or if you’re my parents please send money,”...

Key inflation data, quarterly results from Disney (DIS), and an increasingly contentious debate over the looming national debt limit await investors in the week ahead. For investors, Wednesday morning's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for April will be the week's biggest release, with markets looking for signs of a further slowdown in consumer prices. Wall Street expects headline CPI, which includes the price of food and energy, rose 5% over last year in April, which would match the annual increase seen in March. Prices are set to rise 0.4% on a month-over-month basis. On a "core" basis, which strips out...

Leftist policies start out seemingly reasonable and compassionate before they become totally monstrous. Initially, there are sympathetic test cases, they started out with arguing that raped 12-year-olds should be able to get an abortion, and then before you know, it’s partial-birth abortion for bored celebrities. Euthanasia was supposed to help those with fatal illnesses suffering a great deal of pain. And then, in typical fashion, it morphed into killing teenagers and the depressed. Where to in the Great North? How about killing the homeless and the poor? Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical...

Jessica arrived in New Brunswick confused and disoriented, stepping off a bus on a cold March night after a more than 10-hour journey from Roxham Road. She knew nothing about Moncton, the city where she had been sent. "They never told me where we were going," she said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter. Jessica is one of more than 200 asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick after arriving in Quebec over the international border. Her relocation to Moncton was part of a scramble by the federal government to redirect migrants to other parts of the country. Several migrants told...

Former President Donald Trump has a "moral responsibility" for what unfolded at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but it will remain up to the Justice Department to determine if he's legally responsible as well, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is campaigning against Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, said Sunday."The question is whether there is a criminal responsibility, and that's a judgment that the Department of Justice is going to have to make," Hutchinson, also a former U.S. attorney, told NBC's "Meet the Press."His comments came while he was discussing the convictions of four members of...

AM radio is the one broadcasting method that liberals have not been able to dominate. Thus, the left has been scheming for ways to destroy this avenue of conservatism.

President Donald Trump "will win any debate," but by taking them on, he also would go into a rigged system stacked against him, campaign spokeswoman Liz Harrington said on Newsmax Saturday. "I think the major point is, he doesn't mind debating," Harrington told Newsmax's "Saturday Report.""Everyone knows President Trump will win any debate and the people want to see him."But the debate structure means networks are being chosen that have tried to set him up in the past, she insisted. "They're choosing the Reagan Library," said Harrington. "That would maybe sound great in the past, but it's run by the...

Ukraine says it has shot down dozens of drones over Kyiv, fending off the latest onslaught from Russia. Kyiv’s mayor Vitaly Klitschko said on Telegram that Russia launched nearly 60 Iranian-made drones, 36 of which rained down on the capital.

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry gave a slightly different figure, saying that 30 rockets targeted Kyiv specifically and that “35 of 35 russian drones were shot down.” The Kyiv City Military Administration said on Telegram that five people in the capital were injured in the latest bout of...
