Kamala Harris’s husband’s first marriage ended after he got his children’s nanny pregnant, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife Kerstin with the blonde nanny, who also taught at their children’s pricey private school.

“Obviously, we have eyes.”That was the somewhat jaded response by Larhonda Marshall, a 42-year-old health care worker from Chicago, about all the attention being paid to Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity.As a Black woman herself, Ms. Marshall said that the symbolism of a Harris victory would surely be on her mind as she considers her vote for president. But it was not the most important factor at all, she said. And she wishes the Harris supporters who keep mentioning it would drop it.“I’m tired of hearing it,” Ms. Marshall said. “That’s not an issue. I just want what’s best...

VIDEOThe film "Twisters" was released on July 19 and it has been a box office hit which has already easily earned back its yuuuge budget. Why? Well, one reason is that this film about tornados did NOT go woke by preaching about climate change. Apparently audiences appreciated that the director did not once include a mention of climate change in "Twisters" and word has gotten out that you can be entertained by this movie WITHOUT being preached to. A rational formula for the rest of Hollywood to pay attention to after a long string of "Get Woke, Go Broke" flops....

He would win.And when he did, Mr. Vance counseled, he needed the right people around him this time.“Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people,” Mr. Vance said on a podcast.He continued.“Then when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did,” Mr. Vance said, citing a (possibly apocryphal) quotation long attributed to America’s seventh president, “and say: ‘The chief...

It’s hate on wheels. Residents in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, are aghast over a souped-up Ford F-150 that rolled into the Jewish neighborhood and hipster haven a few months ago, delivering a menacing antisemitic message dripping in blood. The black pickup truck is draped in a sadistic pro-Palestine wrap job that includes images of splattered blood and bloodstained handprints – a symbol of the infamous Ramallah lynching of 2000, where two Israeli reservists were savagely killed by a murderous mob.

Former President Trump is facing fierce blowback from his line of attack questioning Vice President Harris’s Black identity, risking his efforts to court more Black voters in November. The former president drew shock and outrage from members of the Black community after claiming Harris, who is biracial, had “turned Black” after identifying only as Indian for years. Harris has repeatedly referenced her Black and Indian cultural background in her years in the political spotlight. The fallout online from the interview at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention was swift, with some experts arguing the comments will damage Trump...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s (D) position on the Israel-Hamas war is coming under particularly high levels of scrutiny amid the Democratic divide over the war as Vice President Harris considers adding him to her ticket.
