If there is one thing that’s always entertaining, it’s the liberal host seething and fighting back tears while putting on a calm and composed face for the audience. Everyone at MSNBC was ripping shots and popping pills in between commercial breaks. Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses by the widest margin in history, 30 points, and clinching over 50 percent of the vote. The GOP base is riding with Trump, and this momentum is sure to carry into New Hampshire, which, despite propaganda by Nikki Haley’s camp, is also Trump country. Trump’s Iowa win caused the panel on MSNBC to...

Montreal West is known for its large porches, but around the holidays, those porches are a big target for thieves or "porch pirates(opens in a new tab)." "It's something we deal with on a daily basis," said Montreal West councillor responsible for public security Lauren Small-Pennefather. Small-Pennefather said packages are stolen from homes regularly, and while there are bylaws and police officers in the community who know about the problem, she said porch pirates are getting smarter. "You have people that are following the vehicles, and when they see a parcel that's dropped off, they then go and take the...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who is running for Senate, unveiled a new Jan. 6-themed advertisement warning that the country faces an “even greater danger” following former President Trump’s win in Iowa. The advertisement, titled “Danger,” touts Schiff’s efforts to hold Trump accountable on various issues as the California congressman battles other Democrats for the Senate seat. Schiff was the lead House manager of Trump’s first impeachment. “When our democracy was in danger, he stood up. Adam Schiff took on a corrupt president. He fought to protect our values and the rule of law,” the ad’s narrator says over clips of...

Happy New Year. Have you resolved to remove your kids from the public school system yet? In "Get Out Now: Why You Should Pull Your Child from Public School Before It’s Too Late" (2019, Regnery Press), Mary Rice Hasson and Theresa Farnan sounded a wake-up call to parents with children in public schools: “The truth is that nearly everything in America’s public schools — the culture, discipline, curriculum hiring practices, school policies, even the names of schools themselves — is determined by progressive ideologues, both inside and outside the school systems. … Public education has been incredibly successful in one...

Former President Donald Trump’s huge win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday enshrines one of the most astonishing comebacks in American political history. Losing one-term presidents almost never mount subsequent successful primary campaigns, much less pull off landslides that demonstrate utter dominance of their party. Trump transformed the GOP in his populist, nationalist, nihilistic image in 2016. By claiming 50% of the vote in the biggest win in caucus history, putting him on course to his third consecutive nomination, he showed that eight years after his outsider presidential victory, the current GOP is entirely his party. “The big night is...

Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) threatened President Joe Biden on Sunday with jumping into the presidential race on a third-party ticket. If Manchin enters the race, he would siphon votes from Biden’s candidacy, dooming his reelection campaign. Many polls already show Biden trailing former President Donald Trump. The West Virginia Democrat, who will retire from the Senate in 2024, told a private gathering in Connecticut that he will meet with Biden “in the coming days” to move him “to the center,” Fox Business’s Charles Gasparino reported Monday.

An obscure bureaucratic entity, buried deep within Texas A&M, is attempting to rewrite the rules for how governmental bodies make information available to the public. If successful, it could have dire implications for citizen oversight. At issue is a series of requests by the American Accountability Foundation, a non-partisan watchdog group, that attempted to learn more about the role of so-called “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” initiatives at A&M’s medical school. Senate Bill 17, passed by the Texas Legislature last year, forbade these practices as of January 1 2024. During the December 11 meeting of the A&M “faculty senate,” Senior Associate...

Pro-Palestinian protesters shout “shame” at a New York City cancer hospital that cooperates with medical centers in Israel. “Another complicit institution: the Sloan Kettering Center,” an activist yells to the marching crowd of pro-Palestinians as they walk past the hospital. “Make sure they hear you; they’re in the windows. On this day, shame on you. You support genocide, too,” the activist continues, as at least one child can be seen peering through the window. Sloan Kettering has participated in collaborations with the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, but the activist leading the chants against the New York hospital did not...

The Supreme Court declined to rule on two court cases Monday involving energy development, while a federal appeals court blasted the Biden administration’s appliance efficiency standards. Home appliances The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Monday sided with 11 red states that sued the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) over its promulgated efficiency standards for dishwashers and washing machines, ruling that “it is unclear the DOE has any statutory authority to regulate water use in dishwashers and clothes washers.” The court also stated in its opinion that, even if it does have that authority and the agency had...

“Let your way of life be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,’ so that we confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:5-6). Your relationship with God allows you to enjoy genuine contentment. In view of yesterday’s lesson, you may be asking, “But how can I enjoy contentment and be satisfied with what I have?” You can begin by realizing God’s goodness and believing that He...

Jason Kelce is calling it a career after 13 NFL seasons. The Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center told his teammates in the locker room after Monday’s season-ending wild card loss to the Buccaneers that he is retiring, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 36-year-old future Hall-of-Famer was visibly upset on the sidelines at the end of Philadelphia’s 32-9 loss at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Kelce appeared to be crying during the final seconds of the game when ESPN cameras panned to him on the sidelines. “That looks like a man filled with emotion right now,” said Troy Aikman, who was...

On July 25, 2023, Fox News Host Sean Hannity hosted a town hall meeting with Democrat presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. ###Kennedy summarized Germany’s reunification and America’s failure to live up to promises made to Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet head of state. The promise was that NATO wouldn’t expand beyond Germany’s eastern border. Our leaders later took the position that America’s and Germany’s oral promises had no legal basis. This is not sustainable in diplomatic understandings be they made in secret or announced publicly.###The war in Ukraine had been planned for some time. Operatives in our State Department and...

President Joe Biden continued his methodical war against people of faith last week when his Department of Health and Human Services issued new regulations rescinding conscience protections for doctors and nurses who are forced by their employers to perform procedures that violate their beliefs. At a time when many states are mandating healthcare professionals perform highly controversial procedures such as abortion, sterilization, assisted suicide, and gender transition surgeries, Biden’s actions will only force more religious observers out of the healthcare profession entirely. The HHS is charged with being the first responder for over a dozen federal laws designed to protect...

...Trump won the Iowa caucuses handily; the major networks called for him almost as soon as the doors opened. There was never any question that he wouldn’t, except perhaps in the mind of the most delusional DeSantis aides. Nikki Haley was in a tight race for second against DeSantis, as each pretends that they are in fact really running for president – and not, as anyone can see, for the positions of vice-president and attorney general, respectively. Perhaps because Trump’s fait accompli has no plot and can’t drive ratings, or perhaps because they are in denial, the networks have spent...

Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Monday night: “The Yemeni armed forces consider all American and British ships and warships participating in the aggression against our country as hostile targets”. The missile came from near Hodeidah, a Red Sea port city long held by the Houthis, the US said. ..

With the Iowa Republican Caucus in full swing, it's time for us to confront our deepest, darkest fear: Donald Trump may actually get re-elected in November. As painful as it may be to face that fact, this reality means there are things liberals may need to think about buying up and hoarding. The Babylon Bee is here to help with the following helpful list of things you should stockpile in case Trump takes the White House and kills democracy AGAIN: 1. "Gun-Free Zone" signs: To scare off the roving gangs of MAGA voters. 2. Bricks: For throwing through the windows...

HBO’s John Oliver Learned backstage during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that former President Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses, which he said spoiled his “magical Emmys moment” on Monday night, reminding him that “joy is ephemeral, pain is forever.” Oliver said, before dropping his microphone. “You know, Mr. Trump did win the Iowa caucus tonight, so you’ve got some work to do this week,” Entertainment Tonight’s Nischelle Turner told John Oliver, which appeared to be news to the Last Week Tonight host, who replied, “He did?”

The doors had not yet closed at caucus locations across the state of Iowa, but MSNBC had already entered into the “maligning the voters” portion of the program. Joy Reid, the network’s flagship racebaiter, decided that this was a good opportunity to dump on white evangelicals voting for Donald Trump. Watch as Reid cites woke religion author Robert Jones (he/him), using his quote as the cudgel with which to bash Christians: JOY REID: But I feel like the important sort of data point, and you know, Steve talks about it a lot, he's gonna probably talk about it a little...
