VIDEOThe mood on the set of the Morning Joe show just a day before the big debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is DEEP GLOOM. Special Kudos to Mourning Mika for bringing up a new term devised by the left namely "Sane Washed." They use that to describe when moderators or reporters ask President Trump normal questions about policy instead of constantly attacking him as a monster. This is described by them (and Mika) as "Sane Washing." I prefer to think of it as describing the sanity washed out of extreme TDS sufferers such as the Morning Shmoe Crew,...

The public inquiry into the pandemic will start 10 weeks of hearings on Monday looking at the impact on patients, healthcare workers and the wider NHS. Covid patients have been admitted to hospital more than a million times in the UK since the virus emerged in 2020, while countless others have had care for other conditions disrupted. The third stage of the inquiry will also examine the impact on NHS staff, the use of masks and PPE in hospitals, the policy of shielding the most vulnerable and the treatment of long Covid. And for the first time, the stories of...

Sure, Christians can teach in Minnesota public schools. All they have to do is publicly deny their faith!It’s not banning Christians from teaching in Minnesota to force all new teachers to repeatedly and publicly endorse what Christianity calls evil, claims a Minnesota factchecker.“Because the law does not contain any language banning teachers from practicing not only Christianity but any religion, KARE 11 found the claim [that Minnesota’s teacher licensing board has banned Christians from teaching in public schools] to be false,” wrote Minnesota TV station KARE 11’s Samantha Fischer in a Friday “fact check” responding, but not linking, to a...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has launched a new webpage detailing her policy positions on key issues, such as gun violence and illegal border crossings, ahead of a Sept. 10 debate, where Harris and former President Donald Trump will face off for the first time. The page titled “A New Way Forward” details the plan of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to build what she called “an opportunity economy” focused on cutting taxes for working and middle-class families, reducing healthcare costs, and investing in child care. Harris also pledged to “restore and protect reproductive freedoms” if...

That’s six times the election margin between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 2020.Election Integrity deniers often complain that Wisconsin has one of the more stringent voter ID laws in the country. That’s a good thing; the swing state Badger State has proved to be a cesspool of election integrity concerns in recent years. But there’s a voter ID-related loophole cheaters can drive a semi truckload of fraud through. In Wisconsin, voters may claim “Indefinitely Confined” status, which allows them to receive an absentee ballot without presenting proof that they are who they claim to be. A new report, “Wisconsin’s...

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested an illegal immigrant from Guatemala for impersonating Americans and voting in federal elections. 42-year-old Angelica Maria Francisco was taken into custody after it was revealed she had been illegally voting in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. She was charged with “false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.” Francisco agreed to plead guilty to all charges. According to court documents, the illegal immigrant, who has been residing in...

CHICAGO - A group of at least a dozen people looted a UPS tractor-trailer on Chicago's Southwest Side Thursday morning following a crash. At 10:46 a.m. in the 2100 block of South Kedzie Avenue in the city’s Little Village neighborhood, the truck’s roof was torn off while attempting to drive underneath a viaduct. The slight miscalculation was only the first in a series of bizarre events that unfolded. As the truck was traveling northbound on Kedzie Avenue, just past Cermak Road, the truck driver struck the viaduct. SkyFOX captured stunning video of its roof peeled off like a tin can....

Former President Donald Trump pledged on Saturday to prosecute anyone and everyone who engages in cheating or fraud in the 2024 election process. Trump warned of “long term prison sentences” for anybody who undermines the democratic process, including illegal voters and corrupt officials. “CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation!” Trump wrote on X and...

Kamala Harris has faced criticism from both the left and the right for not clearly outlining her policy positions on her campaign website. However, she has finally posted an "Issues" page — no doubt to preempt any criticism during the upcoming debate on Tuesday and likely to give her a place to direct viewers to so she can avoid having to explain her positions during the debate."Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are fighting for a New Way Forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but...

QUESTION: Are they at it again for the election disease syndrome? The media seems to be touting the CDC once more, sounding the alarm about a supposed “surge” in COVID-19 cases. The curious thing is you must be a Republican to catch it. It is only affecting the Red states like Texas, California, Florida, and North Carolina. ANSWER: Oh yes, they have a mosquito crisis in New England. Until Bill Gates started breeding mosquitos and released billions in Florida, I never had a mosquito infestation in my yard. Even MALARIA has come back since Gates began his mosquito project. I...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently announced that the Lone Star State’s effort to clean up its voter rolls has resulted in more than 1 million names being removed.Since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law in 2021, individuals who are noncitizens, have moved to other states, or who have passed away have been removed from the voter rolls.Indeed, thousands of noncitizens have been removed from the rolls. This, of course, greatly angers Democrats, who fervently believe that non-residents, non-citizens -- and the dead -- should be able to vote. As often as they like.Abbott released a statement saying, “Election integrity...

Funny thing happened on Thursday: Donald Trump articulated the Kamala Harris economic plan better than Kamala Harris. To borrow the left’s favorite criticism of all things Trump, it was “weird.” Worse, it was a stark reminder of how much is on the line as Americans go to polls to pick their next president. They really need to think hard before allowing someone like “Comrade Kamala,” to borrow Trump’s favorite name for his opponent, near the center of power. I came to that conclusion while listening to Trump’s wide-ranging and detailed economic speech that day at a luncheon sponsored by The...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to the Apalachee High School attack by pushing gun control Sunday that would not stop attacks on schools from occurring. Newsom posted to X: Notice 75 percent of Newsom’s proposed gun control deals with point-of-sale: 1) Add background checks to private sales, 2) Raise minimum purchase age to 21, and 3) Put a waiting period in place for gun purchases. None of these gun controls would have had the least impact on the Apalachee High School attacker as he was only 14-years-old, which means he was already too young to buy a gun, period....

No matter how much you disdain and despise the mainstream media…it is not enough. Not nearly enough. Case in point: the newly rebranded “Minnesota Star Tribune” recently ran an article—on the front page of the ‘A’ section—about the history of the KKK in Minnesota. The headline read “Her mission: Documenting history of KKK in Minnesota.” Clever. The piece never mentioned the Democrat party, never once noted that the party was the home of the KKK, the pro-slavery party, the Jim Crow party, the anti-integration party, the anti-reconstruction party. Misinformation. Disinformation. Mal-information. Lying by omission. Shameful. Instead, the article hinted throughout...
