CNN's Jake Tapper spent years legitimizing Russiagate before calling the Durham Report 'devastating'For years, Jake Tapper spearheaded CNN's coverage of the Russian collusion hoax that plagued the Trump presidency, but his attitude has shifted following the release of the Durham Report.Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., once said she guaranteed that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the White House in 2016 – a claim contradicted by this week's release of Special Counsel John Durham's report on the Trump investigation."Here you have a president who I can tell you, I guarantee you, is in collusion with the Russians to undermine...

Former President Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who can beat President Joe Biden in the general election, according to a new poll. The former president is also dominating the GOP primary field, holding a decisive lead over his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. A new Premise poll found that, when given a choice between Trump and Biden, 43% of Americans prefer Trump, versus the 38% who said they prefer Biden, with 18% unsure. In a general election race between Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 37% said they prefer Biden, compared to 33% who prefer DeSantis, and...

5th-grade teacher from Florida is under investigation after showing children a pro-LGBT Disney movie. The elementary instructor then went on to CNN to attack school administrators and concerned parents, ranting, “Your rights as a parent, those rights are gone when your child is in the public school system.” The Disney movie, “Strange World,” centers on two homosexual men, and its showing exists in a grey area of Florida’s new parent’s rights legislation, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by the left. The instructor claimed to have received parental permission, though she allegedly only asked parents to approve a “PG” movie, with the...

It was 2014, and in a building in St Petersburg, the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) was already hard at work building its arsenal to take on US politics. According to US prosecutors, the IRA had gathered stolen identities of real Americans, and a formidable encyclopaedia of what "works" on social media when it comes to riling up Americans talking about politics. Two members of the agency were said to have travelled to the US to gather more intelligence, a fact-finding tour taking in nine states, according to investigators. Back on Russian soil, the IRA began posing online as US...

Spencer covered some of the chaos that erupted during today’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing, where three FBI whistleblowers testified about the alleged abuses within the walls of the J. Edgar Hoover Building. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) came out swinging, blasting the FBI and the Department of Justice for being corrupt agencies, a claim bolstered by the recent release of the Durham report: "To be blunt, the leadership of the FBI and DOJ are corrupt," Hageman said. "I will name names: Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland are corrupt. They know it, we know it, and...

Elon Musk recently commented on a compelling editorial cartoon, produced by someone with the Twitter handle “End Wokeness,” that highlights vital crime statistics. The cartoon features a chart showing the number of interracial violent crime incidents by race, based on numbers from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. It shows that the number of black-on-white crimes is nine times higher than the number of white-on-black crimes, yet a news media cameraman has zoomed in on the white-on-black number so that it’s the only thing TV viewers can see. In response, Musk wrote: “Odd, why would the media misrepresent the real situation...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) will announce his 2024 White House candidacy “in the coming days,” New Hampshire news radio host Chris Ryan reported on Thursday. Ryan reported that Christie’s campaign would be “focused on New Hampshire,” an early Republican primary state that often determines the success of a candidate’s campaign. New York Mets owner Steve Cohen will be one of several donors supporting Christie’s 2024 run, Ryan reported.

In an explosive House committee hearing on Thursday, several whistleblowers accused the FBI of engaging in a complex series of highly corrupt and partisan activities, including the manipulation of statistics, targeting of political opponents, and retaliating against whistleblowers seeking to expose the agency’s corruption. The revelations come days after a report from U.S. Attorney John Durham revealed the FBI had no evidence then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with the Russians when it launched its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the former president’s 2016 campaign. While speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, former FBI special agent Steve Friend said he filed protected whistleblower...

We have recently become all too familiar with the phrase “Trust the science” from people in places of power or authority. Yet these same people tell us to accept that you can be whatever you think you are despite the scientific facts about you. Trust, of late, has become something that is not easy to do much of the time. When those who instruct us to “trust what they say” do things that prove they are not trustworthy, trust is the last thing we will extend to them. Thankfully the object and basis of our trust is in a source...

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida all but declared his presidential candidacy on Thursday afternoon, telling donors and supporters on a call that only three “credible” candidates were in the race and that only he would be able to win both the Republican primary and the general election. “You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” Mr. DeSantis told donors on the call, organized by the super PAC supporting him, Never Back Down. “Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and...

A Montgomery-based Anheuser-Busch wholesale beer distributor has taken to the airwaves to share his displeasure with the Dylan Mulvaney controversy that reportedly caused sales of Bud Light to plummet nationally. Steve Tatum, of Montgomery-based Bama Budweiser, addresses the issue in a one-minute radio ad airing on about 10 Montgomery and Selma area radio stations. “We too at Bama Budweiser are upset about it and have made our feelings known to the top leadership at Anheuser-Busch,” Tatum says in the ad. “The voice of the consumer has been heard, and Anheuser-Busch has taken action.” Last month, Mulvaney, a trans social media...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has abandoned his home state in recent months, gallivanting around the country and the world as part of his inevitable 2024 presidential bid.The result of DeSantis’ self-serving behavior is disaster in the city of Jacksonville where an underfunded upstart Democrat candidate beat their Republican challenger earlier this week. This means Jacksonville, which was previously the largest city in the country under Republican rule, has fallen to the Democrats. It is a massive stain on the record of DeSantis, who has been puffing his chest out about what a “winner” he is for months now.On Tuesday, Democrat...

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan appeared to take umbrage at Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s majority opinion in a copyright case involving Andy Warhol and Prince, telling readers in her dissent that she would trust their “good judgment” rather than counter her colleague’s “fistfuls of comeback footnotes.” The shot at Kagan’s fellow liberal came in a lengthy second footnote of her dissent, which several Supreme Court observers found “interesting” and “noteworthy.” Kagan and Chief Justice John Roberts were the only justices that didn’t rule in favor of music photographer Lynn Goldsmith’s claim that the the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts...
