VIDEOPresident Jed Bartlet is an absolutely BRILLIANT debater. While his Republican opponent on "The West Wing" spouts platitudinous boring talking points, the fast on his feet Bartlet can talk rings around him while cutting him down with his wit during their debate. GAME ON! Of course, it is easy for President Bartlet to win his debate to get re-elected as President of TV Land because ALL the lines for both him and his opponent are written by liberal writers with an agenda to promote liberalism to the viewers. However, in the real world things are quite different as we saw...

Footage went viral Monday of Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger learning exactly how his Canadian fans feel about their Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The brief moment, which was captured from multiple angles, opens with Jagger telling an enormous Vancouver crowd that he loves “your Mr. Trudeau.” The fans immediately replied with a low rumble of boos. “I mean, his family’s always been such big fans of our band,” Jagger continued as the boos and jeers grew louder. This is when the 80-year-old British singer stops his commentary, giving his fans what appears to be a cheeky smile. Jagger clearly receives...

Biden isn’t likely to need the veto pen. Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote for president and members of...

Detroit – The first 2024 presidential debate put to rest the false media narrative that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack. But it continued to feed another whopper.“Another persistent challenge is the climate crisis,” claimed CNN moderator Dana Bash. “2023 was the hottest year in recorded history, and communities across the country are confronting the devastating effects of extreme heat, intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricanes, and rising sea levels. Former President Trump will you take any action as President to slow the climate crisis?”The climate crisis rhetoric is having profound consequences on America’s industrial heartland as regulatory agencies from Washington...

With tens of thousands of delegates, elected officials and protesters expected to flood Chicago next month for the Democratic National Convention, the city’s busiest health care nexus could be facing some serious blockages. Hospital officials within the Illinois Medical District told the Sun-Times they’re bracing for major disruptions to their operations as convention-goers flock just up the street to the United Center for the Aug. 19-22 convention, which is expected to draw some 50,000 people to the city.

"If the organizers had not caught my subterfuge, this could have been much worse, and for that, I'm grateful," she said, according to documents from the Campaign Finance Board. The chair of a local DFL unit has been fined $200 after admitting to using a fake name and incorrect address when attending a Republican fundraiser earlier this year. The Republican Party of Minnesota previously filed a campaign finance complaint against Barbara Crow, the chair of a local DFL Party unit in St. Louis County, who later admitted to using a false name, mailing address, email address, and phone number when...

Sucralose, an artificial sweetener, cannot be broken down by humans or many microorganisms, leading to its presence in water systems. A study found that sucralose alters the behavior of cyanobacteria and diatoms, potentially disrupting ecosystems. More research is needed to understand its full environmental impact. New research explores the environmental implications of sucralose, showing its potential to disrupt aquatic microbial populations and stressing the need for further research to assess its full impact. Scientific research has well established that the human body cannot break down sucralose, an artificial sweetener present in numerous zero-calorie foods and beverages. Due to its stability,...

Three former advisers to President Obama took aim at President Biden Tuesday as longstanding rumors of tension between the two men's camps continue to linger. Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, who were often referred to as the "Obama bros" during their tenure in the White House, dedicated the majority of their latest "Pod Save America" episode to ganging up on Biden following his poor performance in the first presidential debate, and in a subsequent interview. "I thought it was bad, and, at times, very hard to watch," Vietor said, referencing Biden's sit-down interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos last...

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer announced his office charged the three armed robbers who brutally killed an elderly woman at an outdoor mall last week with special circumstances murder which makes them eligible for the death penalty. Newport Beach is a wealthy, conservative enclave in Southern California.

Sharon Stone has described how people “took advantage” of her financially while she was recovering from a near-fatal stroke. The Basic Instinct star suffered a stroke in 2001 that led to a nine-day brain bleed, which forced her to step away from Hollywood for seven years while she recovered. “People took advantage of me over that time,” the US actress told The Hollywood Reporter. “I had $18m (£14m) saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone. “My refrigerator, my phone – everything was in other people’s names. “I had...

Macron’s government allied with Communists and Islamists to rig the outcome of the second round of voting. Having gotten what it wanted, it’s time to investigate Marine Le Pen and National Rally. An investigation has been opened into the financing of French far right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen’s 2022 presidential campaign. Prosecutors in Paris said they will look into allegations of embezzlement, forgery and fraud, and that a candidate on an electoral campaign accepted a loan. I’m sure. Maybe at some point, the French authorities could find the time to investigate the Antifa and Islamist rioters marching...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy, an ambitious young Democrat from Connecticut, went on television Sunday with a carefully worded warning to President Joe Biden about the viability of his campaign. “This week is going to be absolutely critical; I think the president needs to do more,” Murphy said. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. said Biden had to “reassure the American people that he can run a vigorous campaign to defeat Donald Trump.” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a senior member of the Democratic leadership team, put out a statement that passed for fighting words, saying that the president “must do more...

Let’s face it: Boeing has the government by the balls. It is, after all, America’s only commercial aircraft manufacturer, with over 170,000 employees in Washington State, South Carolina, and Virginia, most of whom make middle-class to upper-middle-class wages. In dollar volume, it is the country’s largest exporter. And to top it off, Boeing is a critical defense contractor, with a space division that recently sent two astronauts to the International Space Station (though thanks to problems with Boeing’s spacecraft, it’s a little unclear when, exactly, those astronauts will return to earth). Late Sunday night, faced with the possibility of a...
