A freight train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, which wreaked havoc on the working-class town.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she was “very happy” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was indicted in Georgia for his actions after the 2020 presidential election. McCaskill said, “This is a tale of two very different indictments. We have one in the federal system that is lean and mean and targeted on the boss. And then we have Georgia, where this prosecutor has decided that she needs to go after the whole enterprise and all of this evidence would come in. The whole barrel of bad apples got indicted. You can’t assume in the...

CHICAGO, Aug 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris jumped into another divisive American issue ahead of the 2024 re-election campaign on Friday, vowing support for activists trying to end gun violence and accusing gun law opponents of "hypocrisy." Harris, who has embraced a more combative role as President Joe Biden's re-election campaign kicks into gear, took a swipe at Republicans who have blocked Democrats' proposed gun safety laws, saying such changes are no threat to Americans' constitutional gun rights. "There are some people who are just trying to sell a false choice ... that you're either in favor...

Disney, our favorite left-wing corporate punching bag, is having a(nother) bad month. The company just reported fiscal fourth-quarter losses of a cool $710 million. Don’t worry, I’m sure its new woke live-action version of “Snow White” will fix things. Let’s see what the new Snow White, the outspoken Hispanic feminista Rachel Zegler has to say about the new movie that will save Disney from disaster. “It’s no longer 1937,” Zegler said. “She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can...

As the scream of the eagle is heard when she has passed over, so a man’s name remains after his death. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. Never has a man more need of his intelligence than when a fool asks him a question. One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him. a boaster and a liar are cousins-german. Diligence is a treasure of inestimable price, and prudence is the pledge of security. (snip) Virtue: climbing a hill; vice: running down. Make friends with what is good...

Governor Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC boldly announced 99 new Iowa county chairs last week, leading to revelations that Washington county chair Matt Wells had recently called Trump supporters “degenerates” and told leftist media outlets that he would not “piss on Trump if he was on fire.” Now, another of the Florida Governor’s picks has declared himself a hardline ‘NeverTrumper’, in comments unearthed by The National Pulse.Ryan Frederick, who chairs the Never Back Down PAC in Adair County, Iowa, described himself as a “party loyalist” in comments to the press, but declared on X (formerly Twitter) that he “will resign as...

Donald Trump has spoken on video for the first time since being indicted on charges of trying to overturn Georgia's election - referencing not the racketeering allegations against him, but instead claiming Joe Biden was part of a 'crime family'. Trump declared that Biden was 'a Manchurian Candidate' - his new favorite insult - and claimed that the president was being controlled by China. He also demanded that his trials be held after the 2024 election. 'It is now 100 percent that the Biden crime family received more than $20 million from foreign countries while crooked Joe was vice president...

Many casual political observers have been wondering about why the Georgia republican apparatus, including Brian Kemp, doesn’t just get involved and shut down the nonsense coming from Fulton County and political prosecutor Fani Willis. It’s an understandable reference point and curiosity, but if you understand Georgia republican politics you understand why the political leadership actually support Fani Willis.Former House Speaker, Republican John Boehner (far left), and current Georgia Republican Governor, Brian Kemp (far right), attend a Stop Trump political strategy session in Sea Island, Georgia, May 2023.

The 2009 movie “The Blind Side” does not state or imply that the Tuohy family adopted Michael Oher. Neither does Michael Lewis’ 2006 book that inspired the film that won Sandra Bullock an Oscar. In 2011, when Michael Oher published his first memoir, “I Beat the Odds,” he stated directly that the Tuohys secured a conservatorship when he was a senior in high school. He wrote that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy insisted that he maintain a relationship with his biological mother and 11 siblings. Oher wrote that his mother participated in the procedures necessary for the Tuohys to become...

President Donald J. Trump has announced an 11:00am ET press conference for Monday, August 21st, to highlight evidence of Georgia election fraud. The Republican apparatus in Georgia is going to go bananas.[SOURCE LINK]It’s not the Democrats and totalitarian leftists that are going to go bananas…. It’s the Republican Party apparatus, fraught with fear that their constructs are about to be revealed, who we will see going on the attack.Corrupt Republicans are far more vicious than ordinary corrupt leftists and communists. The corrupt Republicans have far more to lose. Watch what happens.

"And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. "But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." Luke, Chapter 23 1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began...

Donald Trump continues to dominate the field in New Hampshire, with the competition for first loser position taking shape. At this point, none of the other GOP candidates are in a position to win any delegates, and the second highest polling lane is Undecided with 13%.Undecided passed by I Don’t Know shortly before the Iowa fair. Apparently, putting sticks in eggs as a skill exhibited by the Florida governor was not enough to convince the Be Free or Die people of his leadership. It seems Chris Christie, who did not need the optics of being surrounded by multiple food stalls,...

Sometimes revealing a communist is a little like taking off a Band-Aid. You’ve got to pick at the edges a little bit until you can get enough gripped to rip it off.It has been a decade since Jonah Goldberg and I had our back-and-forth editorial debate about “modern republicanism.” [He lost both a massive number of readers and credibility.] In the years since, we are both exactly the same people; the only difference is – his mask has completely dropped and he’s no longer pretending.In this brutally perfect appearance on his new network gig, CNN, Jonah Goldberg, the pontificating pustule...

Donald Trump’s old tweets are coming back to haunt him. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis highlighted a dozen of the former president’s posts on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in her sweeping 2020 election racketeering case against him. The tweets were showcased in a section of the 13-count indictment against Trump that outlined 150 instances that played a role in his alleged conspiracy to thwart the 2020 election. Here are the tweets cited in the 98-page document. “Wow! Blockbuster testimony taking place right now in Georgia. Ballot stuffing by Dems when Republicans were forced to leave the...

Has Attorney General Meritless Garland been promised a SCOTUS nomination if he takes out Trump? With the flurry of Trump indictments, both Federal and State with Federal assistance, it seems that Garland has some motivation for all this activity. Unsurprisingly, Garland has been approached by the KKK Party to start an investigation to lynch the black guy on SCOTUS. Did Biden, at Obama's direction, promise Garland the black guy's seat if he could get rid of him and Trump? Would be a slam dunk because the KKK Party has the votes in the Senate with Schumer leading.
