On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” HBO host and comedian Bill Maher stated that while there is no Trump-Biden equivalency, the Hunter Biden scandal “stinks to the high heavens. That’s real corruption there, that a lot of the left-wing media will not cover.” And stated that there would be a much different reaction if Donald Trump Jr. had done what Hunter Biden has. Maher said, “I don’t understand how they can equate this equivalency between Trump and Biden. … Do I love everything about Biden? No. But I just don’t understand how they can look at what Trump did...

New York City taxpayers, some of the most tax-burdened in the nation, are seeing a massive transfer of wealth as they foot the bill for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help carry out Mayor Eric Adams’ migrant hotels scheme. Since the spring of last year, more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the sanctuary city of New York City. Less than 15 percent were sent on buses by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and the majority remain living in the city’s network of shelters, which now includes luxury hotels.

Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin (R) is calling on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to resign after an illegal alien, previously arrested by United States Border Patrol, is accused of murdering a 28-year-old man. As Breitbart News reported, 20-year-old illegal alien Carlos Corrales-Ramirez of Honduras was arrested and charged this week with second-degree murder and first-degree assault in the stabbing death of 28-year-old Jario Hernandez-Sanchez in the city of Troy, New York.

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that in the 2024 election, Democrats need to say the Republican Party was “the largest anti-democratic force on the planet.” Wallace said, “I want to say it carefully because I’m not trying to throw an elbow at people that have done good, but even Liz Cheney, who did heroic work on the select committee, is not out front in protecting democracy from fellow Republicans. Neither are the other Republicans, people in the primary like Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie saying that Trump is clearly criminally compromised, if you will.”

A 26-year-old man allegedly raped and beat a University of Wisconsin at Madison student and then posed as an innocent bystander after the attack, cops said. Brandon Thompson, 26, was busted Wednesday for sexual assault, reckless injury, and strangulation in connection with the “horrific” assault that left a young woman clinging to life, according to Madison police. “This case will not be complete until this cowardly attacker receives the justice he deserves,” Chief Shon Barnes said at a press conference. Thompson was arrested three days after allegedly pouncing on the student as she walked through the college town’s commercial district...

Texas must remove the floating barrier buoys the state placed in the Rio Grande River to deter illegal immigrant crossings, a federal judge ruled Wednesday — but Gov. Greg Abbott wasted no time in announcing he’d appeal. District Court Judge David Ezra ordered the wrecking ball-sized buoys be taken away by next Friday and banned the Lone Star State from adding any other structures in the Rio Grande — the international boundary between the US and Mexico in Texas — without prior approval from the feds. Soon after Ezra’s ruling Abbott released a statement, vowing that “Texas will appeal.” “This...

So you got yourself a brand new, $70,000 subsidized electric vehicle (EV), and everyone on your block is envious. Quiet, non-polluting, cheaper to operate than a gas-powered vehicle, right? That’s not entirely accurate. The grim fact is, you better pray your EV never breaks down. The electric vehicle manufacturers sort of forgot to train the necessary number of mechanics to service your beautiful new car, leaving you with repair costs that will be through the roof. It seems like too obvious a detail to overlook. And it’s going to blow up the EV industry once a couple of millions of...

“I haven’t grilled in years, what if I’ve forgotten how?” “I haven’t done long division since high school, can I still do it?” “I haven’t danced in so long, I’m afraid to go out on the floor.” In dozens of examples in our daily lives, we may go years without doing something that we used to know how to do, but someone is always there to reassure us: “It’ll come back to you. It’s just like riding a bike.” And it usually does. In most cases, if we knew how to do something once, the memories come back and we...

Google is moving a technology conference out of San Francisco, as the city struggles with high crime and rampant drug use. The company will host its Google Cloud Next conference in Las Vegas next year, SFGATE reported. Google held the conference at the city's Moscone Center last week, as it had from 2017-2019, for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It had planned to host the 2024 iteration of the conference in San Francisco as well, but it canceled the booking in July. Google declined to give SFGATE a specific reason for pulling the conference out...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday claimed that President Joe Biden left a Medal of Honor recipient’s ceremony early yesterday in order to “minimize his close contact with attendees.” Biden’s early departure from the ceremony puzzled viewers, as it is not typical for a president to do so. The Tuesday ceremony was to honor 81-year-old Army Captain Larry L. Taylor, a Vietnam veteran, for conspicuous gallantry while serving as a team leader of a helicopter light-fire team that rescued a patrol team surrounded by the enemy.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's Supreme Court decriminalized abortion nationwide Wednesday, two years after ruling that abortion was not a crime in one northern state. That earlier ruling had set off a grinding process of decriminalizing abortion state by state. Last week, the central state of Aguascalientes became the 12th state to decriminalize the procedure. Judges in states that still criminalize abortion will have to take account of the top court's ruling. The court's sweeping decision Wednesday comes amid a trend in Latin America of loosening restrictions on abortion, even as access has been limited in parts of the United States.
