JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Democrats should help former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) in her race for the GOP presidential nomination Wednesday, as a way of asserting their opposition to former President Trump. “Even if you’re [a] very liberal Democrat, I urge you, you know, help Nikki Haley too,” Dimon said in an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times DealBook Summit. “You know, get a choice, on the Republican side, that might be better than Trump,” he added.

VIDEOBill Mitchell's big grift is apparently over. His Ron DeSantis money well has apparently dried up leaving poor Shill Bill not only broke but severely constipated as well. As an excuse for pulling out of the DeSantis shill racket, Shill Bill recently claimed he conveniently stubbed his toe while watching a football game which sent him to the hospital. Which is more ridiculous? Getting hospitalized for a stubbed toe or for having an ingrown toenail? While in the hospital, Mitchell whined that shilling for DeSantis sent him to the poorhouse with a horrible case of constipation to boot. His GiveSendGrift...

In July, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with a bipartisan group of five other senators, announced sweeping legislation to declassify and release government information about unidentified flying objects. The announcement coincided with, and seemed to corroborate, an extraordinary series of UFO-related developments. But now, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) appear poised to quash this bipartisan transparency initiative. In the absence of reasonable, good-faith objections to the core provisions of the historic legislation, the question is why. If there is nothing to...

Ultra-liberal residents of the Californian city of Oakland booed their Jewish neighbors and denied the Hamas October 7 attack at a shocking town meeting on Monday night.

Amir Tsarfati, the founder and CEO of Behold Israel, a nonprofit group that covers Israel from a biblical worldview, said on Washington Watch Monday that America's open southern border and lax approach to national security make an attack by Hamas a matter of when not if. "They don't even hide it. Those terrorists, they say, 'Saturday people are first, the Sunday people are next,'" Tsarfati told show host Tony Perkins. "America has thousands of sleeping cells all across the country. Your southern border is so open I can't even imagine how many Hezbollah and Hamas cells are in your country...

The mother of a young football fan who wore a headdress and painted his face red and black to a Kansas City Chiefs game has blasted Deadspin for accusing him of “doubling up” on racism against black and Native communities — noting that her son is himself Native American. Holden Armenta became an unexpected focus of an article by senior writer Carron Phillips that focused on a photo of the boy standing sideways, suggesting he was wearing blackface with no mention of the red side. “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face,...

CHICAGO MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON: It has to be better coordination. What we have seen is a raggedy form instituted by right-wing extremism. Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targetted Democratically-ran cities and quite frankly, they've been very intentional about going after Democratically-ran cities that are led by people of color. Their whole motivation is to create disruption and chaos because that's what this particular party has been about. This is the same political party that did not want to accept that President Obama was actually an American. It's the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the...

Ultra-liberal residents of the Californian city of Oakland booed their Jewish neighbors and denied the Hamas October 7 attack at a shocking town meeting on Monday night. The city council was voting on a permanent ceasefire resolution demanding peace in the Middle East and residents spent six hours sharing their thoughts, starting with a moment of silence for civilian victims. At the end of the meeting, the resolution was passed unanimously. Local Jewish groups say it was a futile exercise that will have no bearing on the conflict and will only serve to spread anti-Semitism in the US. Among those...

The goods and services American workers could afford with $100 in 2020 now cost $119.27, a recent Bloomberg report found. The increased prices will likely impact the 2024 election results since they come after President Joe Biden implemented his economic policy of so-called “Bidenomics.” Over half of voters in key swing states said grocery prices are the top way inflation has impacted their budget, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey.

Israel is justifiably proud of being the only democracy in the Middle East and – as such – championing freedoms rarely seen in its regional neighbors. Among these are the right to vote, freedom to worship as one pleases, and the operation of media outlets that are free to inform citizens with honest, factual news reporting…never more important than in times of war. Unfortunately, Israel is being sandbagged by a familiar purveyor of biased coverage: The Associated Press. Over the years in my profession as a broadcast journalist, I have personally documented countless examples of the AP’s bias, in which...

Pope Francis has kicked conservative US Cardinal Raymond Burke out of his Vatican apartment and stripped him of his salary after he criticized the pontiff's pro-LGBT stance. Francis has decided to punish Burke by revoking his right to a subsidized Vatican apartment and salary in the second such radical action against an American prelate this month, according to two sources. It is understood Francis told a meeting of the heads of Vatican offices last week that he was moving against Burke because he was a source of 'disunity' in the church, said one of the participants at the November 20...

* Biden is sending emails to 813,000 student-loan borrowers whose loans were wiped out in August. * It's a result of account adjustments to ensure all borrowers' payments are accounted for. * This email comes just months after borrowers resumed federal payments after the pandemic-era pause. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check your email: Thousands of student-loan borrowers are receiving emails from President Joe Biden after their balances have been reduced to zero. On Tuesday, the White House announced that about 813,000 borrowers whose accounts were adjusted in August will receive an email from Biden congratulating them on their loans being forgiven due to...

Denver has been plagued with crime and rising auto thefts in recent years. Biden landed in Denver Tuesday afternoon for a campaign event and was greeted by Johnston at Air Force One. A spokesperson for Johnston’s office confirmed that his car was stolen but declined to offer additional details about what had happened — or where.

Fifty-four House lawmakers, Democrat and Republican, conservative and progressive, called on House Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday not to extend a controversial deep state surveillance law in a defense bill. Reps. Warren Davidson (R-OH) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), two skeptics of government surveillance, spearheaded the letter, which comes weeks before the year-end deadline of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a law that allows intelligence agencies to collect communications of targeted foreigners. It also may lead to targeted surveillance of Americans’ private communications, which privacy advocates consider a run around the Fourth Amendment’s requirement for...

A judge has ordered the FBI to turn over the laptop of murdered Democrat staffer Seth Rich. Texas Judge Amos L. Mazzant ordered "a timeline for the disclosure of information on Seth Rich's personal laptop, Seth Rich's work laptop, the DVD and tape drive within 14 days following issuance of this Memorandum of Opinion and Order" on Wednesday morning. Rich, who worked for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), was killed on July 10, 2016, while making his way home from a night out in Washington, D.C. The 27-year-old was speaking to his girlfriend on the phone when shots were heard....

Former U.S. Middle East envoy Dennis Ross has a plan to rescue Hamas from destruction, and he unveiled it on MSNBC just as announcements were being made that Israel and Hamas agreed to a temporary ceasefire.Appearing on “Watch the Beat with Ari Melber,” on November 21, Ross said that “the way to end the war in Gaza” would be for Israel to allow the Hamas leadership to leave the territory in exchange for the release of the remaining hostages. Ross said he hopes the Biden Administration will promote such a proposal.Ross cited a precedent: Israel’s decision in 1982, under U.S....

Under George W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy was nothing to write home about. White House advisors who sought to use 9/11 as an excuse to remake the Middle East – but who had absolutely no understanding of Islam – got us into deadly, expensive wars that ended up accomplishing nothing. Bush himself kept insisting that we weren’t at war with Islam – which he called, either foolishly or dishonestly, a “religion of peace” – but with “terror,” a meaningless formulation that doomed us from the start.But at least Bush and his people weren’t actively trying to subvert America. Under Obama...

President Biden’s job approval rating among independents has hit a record low, according to a new poll. Only 27% of political independents approve of the job Biden, 81, has done in the White House, an 8-point drop since last month, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. Contributing to the president’s lackluster approval from the key voting group is his handling of the economy and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, where Biden received even lower marks from independents.

Joe Scarborough has made it a habit to mock House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer as a comical hillbilly, like the goofball sheriff from The Dukes of Hazzard. He suggested in September that Arnold the Pig from Green Acres could do a better job in Congress than Comer. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough—raised in the Florida panhandle and educated at the University of Alabama—was back attacking Comer and his probe of the Biden family influence-peddling business, claiming they have no evidence of wrongdoing: "Well, we ain't really got nuthin' but a squirrel fryer and a hound dog."Later, Scarborough piled on...

When he embarked on his journey to discover a path to India Christopher Columbus’ lead ship was the Santa Maria. Built in 1460 it measured 62 ft with a crew of just 40, the Santa Maria would take Columbus to the New World and would change the course of human history. Half a century earlier there was another man who sailed ships who didn’t change the course of human history. His name was Zheng He and he commanded the Chinese navy during the early 15th century. His Treasure Ships were not only larger than the Santa Maria, they were more...
