During her speech, Harris mentioned the cash disbursements as one part of a larger relief effort.

Trump showed disregard for Pence’s safetyIt was previously known that Trump showed little regard for the safety of Vice President Mike Pence as a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol, but two new details revealed in Smith’s filing underlined that fact. On Jan. 6, 2021, as rioters breached the Capitol in an apparent attempt to stop Congress’s certification of the Electoral College results, Trump took to Twitter — now known as X. He condemned Pence for lacking “courage” because he refused to disrupt the certification by rejecting the official electoral votes for Biden in favor of certifying false slates...

When discussing the ongoing Biden border crisis and the myriad problems it has caused in virtually every facet of society today, the lion's share of the attention is typically focused on the Southern border. The reasons for that are obvious if only because of the sheer volume of illegal migrants encountered there on a daily basis, including known members of violent South American gangs. But what about the other border we share with one of our neighbors? The Canadian border is far less closely guarded and yet it is pretty much ignored when reporting on this vexing problem. As it...

John Kerry and the Circuitous Assault on Free SpeechMere words cannot restrain our aspiring censors from weaponizing their power to silence dissent. Enemies of the First Amendment vow to “hammer it out of existence,” as John Kerry explained this week, and they are prepared to circumvent legal protections to achieve their aims at all costs. Kerry, speaking on a panel on climate change at the World Economic Forum, lamented what he regards as insufficient censorship of “disinformation” and called on his allies to “win the ground, win the right to govern” in order to be “free be able to...

A woman named Shayna Turbovsky in Fort Worth, Texas, went to the store to get meat, rice, beans, bananas, and toilet paper when a coworker warned her about shortages and rising prices, USA Today reported on Wednesday. “I don’t know how bad it’s going to get, but the south east just got smacked by a hurricane and now the supply chain is going to be impacted through this strike…I would rather be overprepared than scared,” she said in a social media...

ASHEVILLE, NC — Official sources within the Federal Emergency Management Agency were disappointed to inform victims of Hurricane Helene that the government agency was unable to offer them any taxpayer funding, as it had spent it all on a PowerPoint presentation about racial equity. According to FEMA spokesperson Gayle Kane, the agency would have loved to help out North Carolina residents affected by the storm but was simply unable to do so as it had blown the remainder of its budget having an intern with purple hair put together the presentation. "To the people of North Carolina — we see...

Heart attacks were once thought of as a disease of age - but worrying new data shows they are increasing in healthy young adults. Roughly 0.3 percent of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack in 2019 - but last year that rose to 0.5 percent, or one in 200. While that may still seem like a relatively low number, it represents a 66 percent increase in cases in just four years, which doctors call 'alarming.' It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40.

SNL cast member Bowen Yang revealed in a recent episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast that the Euphoria star "was practically begging everybody" to make body-related jokes. "She came in and was like, 'Please, everyone, make jokes about my boobs,'" he said. At the time, Sweeney's appearance sparked much discourse and was lauded by a...

Q. When is an October Surprise not an October surprise? A. When it's aimed at Donald Trump. Just ask Morning Joe. On today's episode, Jonathan Lemire and Katty Kay agreed: Nope, Jack Smith's new filing in his election interference case against Trump was not an October Surprise. Lemire's first argument was particularly lame: Okay, yeah, the filing came in October. But it came at the beginning of October, not like Jim Comey's letter regarding the Hillary Clinton private email server probe that came about one week before the 2016 election. This -- we kid you not -- "much further out."...
