They can't handle truth. Have you ever heard of Howard Lutnick? You most likely will soon. Howard W. Lutnick is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the venerable financial services firm. He was one of the lesser-noted speakers at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday — you know, the one where, if you believe MSNBC, jackbooted Trump supporters were goose-stepping around and shouting “Sieg heil!” in terrifying unison when a Charlie Chaplin-mustachioed Trump appeared and gave them the straight-arm salute. While all that is lurid fantasy and the left’s latest shameless smear of the Bad Orange Man, Lutnick really did...

An international team of archaeologists, led by Antonis Bartsiokas with Democritus University of Thrace, in Greece, has uncovered evidence that a tunic found in one of the Royal Tombs at Vergina once belonged to Alexander the Great. In his paper published in the Journal of Field Archaeology, Bartsiokas outlines the evidence surrounding the purple and white tunic and also claims that he and his team have definitively identified the remains of three of the people entombed at the famous burial site. Prior research has suggested that several members of Alexander the Great's family were laid to rest in the Royal...

Test results for the upcoming November 5 general election mistakenly appeared on WNEP-TV early Sunday evening during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix. Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error by WNEP that they did. The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night. The numbers were not reflective of any actual vote count. Pennsylvania law does not allow mail-in ballots to be taken out of their envelopes until 7:00...

Jimmy Kimmel's attempt to sway Republicans with a 19 minute anti-Trump monologue has backfired with viewers. The talk show host delivered a special plea to those thinking of voting for the former president, in which he promised to avoid, 'liberal virtue signaling'. But the almost 20 minute rant ended up irritating some viewers so much they pledged to vote Trump anyway, just to spite Kimmel. The comedian used clips from the former president's speeches, interviews and rallies to try and illustrate several aspects he believes make Trump unfit to lead. 'Am I biased against Donald Trump? Yes,' Kimmel admitted. 'Do...

Despite recent polls giving former President Donald Trump an edge in the 2024 presidential election, American University professor Dr. Allan Lichtman is standing by his prediction that Vice President Kamala Harris will come out on top. Lichtman, 77, has been dubbed by some the election “Nostradamus” due to his track record of predicting nine of the past 10 presidential contests. In September, he went all-in on a Democratic win. “Nothing has changed to change my prediction that I made on September 5, deliberately before the supposed ‘pivotal’ Trump-Harris debate — according to the pundits — which proved to be pivotal...

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to hold a large-scale exercise of the Kremlin’s nuclear forces on Tuesday, including practice missile launches, as tensions boil over the Ukraine war. Putin oversaw the drills in a video call with military leaders, as Russian soldiers simulated a nuclear attack using ballistic and cruise missiles. “Taking into account growing geopolitical tensions and emerging new threats and risks, it’s important for us to have modern strategic forces that are always ready for combat,” the Russian president said. Despite the show of force, Putin claimed his nation’s nuclear arsenal would only be deployed under...

Last week, a video began circulating on X, formerly Twitter, purporting to show a person in Pennsylvania ripping up ballots marked for former President Donald Trump and leaving alone those marked for Vice President Harris. The person curses the former president multiple times and at one point says, “Vote Harris.” The video is a fake. The envelopes and ballots shown don’t match what that county actually uses to vote. U.S. officials said it was created and spread by Russia to sow doubt in the election.

CV NEWS FEED // President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump are “garbage” for backing such an “unconscionable” candidate. The president’s remarks came after insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke about Puerto Rico being an island of “floating garbage“ during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. While numerous conservative Puerto Ricans came forward to say they were not offended by the joke, Democratic operatives claimed it was malicious and tied it to Trump. Puerto Ricans are “good, decent, honorable people,” Biden said in response to the controversy during a Zoom call...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that it turned out former Secretary of State and then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was right when she called supporters of Donald Trump “deplorables.” During the panel discussion on President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage,” Goldberg said, “So you know they’re working very hard to spin this to some crazy end, but this is my problem. let me explain to y’all. I don’t understand why all the pearl clutching over Biden’s statement. Why they all have a problem with what Biden said when what this other guy has said.” She...

A 93-year-old Florida man allegedly confessed to twice trying to kill his wife of 60 years — because he “did not want to leave her alone” when he died, according to cops. Helmut Lockner was arrested on Saturday after his wife said he crept up on her watching TV and tried to strangle her with some rope — weeks after he tried to smother her with a pillow, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Lockner allegedly told detectives he planned to kill himself with the same rope, telling them that he “is dying and did not want to leave...

But last week, the packaged product made headlines after The New York Times’ sports department, The Athletic, issued a shocking article that the NFL is the circular snack’s No. 1 fan. In fact, NFL teams “go through anywhere from 3,600 to 4,300 Uncrustables a week,” meaning that the league is consuming at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year

This is GREAT!!

A video captured Vice President Kamala Harris looking vacantly out of one of the administration’s helicopter windows, yawning and appearing dishevelle with just days to go until the election. The video, shared by the Trump War Room X account, shows Harris staring off into space as an aide converses with her while she works her phone. Trump’s campaign said Harris appeared to be s “cracking” after just three months of being installed as the Democratic Party’s nominee, “Kamala is exhausted — cracking under the rigors of a presidential campaign after being installed as a nominee who didn’t earn a single...

Former President Donald Trump has the slightest lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground Michigan, according to a Suffolk/USA Today survey, released just days ahead of the election. The survey shows an extremely tight race in Michigan, as Trump is ahead of Harris by less than half of a percentage point, garnering 47.4 percent support to Harris’s to 47 percent support. To put this in greater perspective, the Detroit Free Press noted that “in this poll of 500 Michiganders, the difference represents just two voters.” The margin of error is +/- 4.4 percent for this survey taken October 24-27.

The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Amber Duke walked off set after her co-host Nomiki Konst said Duke “made Nazi comments in the past.” “Rising is shorter than usual today because I chose not to continue sitting at a desk with someone who falsely accused me of ‘Nazi writings’ because they were losing an argument,” Duke, who previously worked as the Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent, tweeted Tuesday. “I think I have been unfathomably patient with my cohost but everyone has a line,” she wrote. The pair were discussing a controversy surrounding former CNN contributor Ryan Gidursky’s dismissal from the network when...
