The host emphasized that the presidential election results were still coming in and nothing was yet decided. But given that vote tallies were suggesting a Donald Trump victory at the 12 a.m. hour, Stewart had some thoughts. “This isn’t the end,” Stewart said during his Comedy Central special, The Daily Show Presents A Live...

South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham has sent an ominous message to special counsel Jack Smith as Donald Trump was on the precipice of being announced as the winner of the 2024 election. Early on Wednesday morning, mere moments before Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida, to give his victory speech, Graham posted a note on X “to Jack Smith and your team”. “It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham wrote...... In a conversation with the conservative podcast host...

I don’t get it. Why do only partial votes from Nebraska and Maine go toward each candidate instead of winner take all? What makes them special?

Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B shared many Kamala Harris supporters’ anxiety when she tweeted “We need a Hail Mary” Tuesday night as Donald Trump started to take the lead in multiple swing states. But it was her follow-up post that sparked immediate backlash and was quickly deleted by the “WAP” singer. It contained a brief video, captured and retweeted by others, in which Cardi B, using a face filter, says, “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes.” There was no context but the comment was made shortly after battleground North Carolina was called for Trump, joining several other...

Over the weekend, the internet was ablaze with posts about a squirrel in a cowboy hat. Even big names and political players like Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. were posting about “P’nut.” For those unfamiliar with the story, New Yorker Mark Longo adopted an orphaned squirrel named P’nut seven years ago, along with a raccoon named Fred. The squirrel and raccoon quickly became popular on social media sites like Instagram and TikTok, garnering a decent-sized following. Longo subsequently opened an animal sanctuary and rescue operation, inspired by taking care of P’nut. Last week, the New York State Department of...

It denigrates what Jews faced when Democrats leverage our Shoah tragedy for their hoped-for gain.No one in the world knows more about identifying a Hitler — or any other Nazi — than do Orthodox Jews. Hitler ultimately went after all Jews and also homosexuals and Romani people (“Gypsies”). But he and his Nazi crew particularly went after Orthodox Jews. Before they proceeded with the death camps, they loved spotting Orthodox Jews walking in the street and bloodying them, pummeling them to the ground and kicking them senseless. They made a sport of photographing themselves forcibly cutting Orthodox Jews’ beards...

Conservatives are already predicting Donald Trump will file federal charges against Anthony Fauci. The conjecture comes as figures like Elon Musk have called for the arrest of the infectious disease expert who served as one of Trump's leading medical advisors during the Covid pandemic. At the height of his power, bobblehead doll figures of Fauci appeared in the windows of liberal New York bookshops. However, demands for his methods to be fully investigated have grown louder since the National Institutes of Health admitted to Congress earlier this year that it funded risky 'gain of function' research in Wuhan, China, under...

Rich Baris The People's Pundit @Peoples_Pundit 5m Breaking: Donald J. Trump has won the state of Nevada. Nov 6, 2024 · 8:41 AM UTC

We are in the midst of the greatest political comeback in American history — which follows, by eight years, the greatest political stunt in American history. That stunt was Donald Trump’s first win, in 2016. The comeback is his extraordinary performance over the past four years following his defeat in 2020. I am not here going to adjudicate Trump’s sins or errors, though I am so mindful of them that I did not vote for him and wrote in someone else. No, I am here to represent hundreds of millions of slack-jawed people around the world, gaping in wonderment at...

Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States.Now that, Donald Trump, is how you overturn an election. You win. This time four years ago, Trump felt that he lost the 2020 election because of voter fraud. But the best way to reverse a loss that you don’t like is not by charging fraud but by regrouping and winning outright four years later. Trump and his supporters should have understood that charging that an election was stolen is a lost cause. In a country the size of the United States of America, with 50 different states utterly...

Manhattan’s district attorney was held in contempt by a state court for refusing to turn over plea deal documents with a doctor who was later convicted as a sexual predator. DA Alvin Bragg’s office must now comply with the subpoena to produce documents related to 2014 criminal action against perv Dr. Robert Hadden, Judge Richard G. Latin ruled last month. Attorney Anthony DiPietro, who is representing hundreds of Hadden’s victims in the civil suit, is also seeking the DA’s communications with Hadden’s longtime employer, Columbia University, in relation to Hadden’s 2016 no-jail plea deal with Bragg’s predecessor, former DA Cyrus...

A tumultuous first term in office for Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón seems likely to end in a failed reelection bid, as he trails challenger Nathan Hochman by more than 20 percentage points in early returns. Gascón swept into office in 2020 on a promise of reform and restorative justice, but Hochman — a former federal prosecutor and defense attorney — has spent months painting the incumbent as responsible for increases in crime and homelessness around L.A.

The moment of truth came earlier when Fox News called Pennsylvania, the biggest of the battleground prizes, followed by Wisconsin and then the entire race in his favor. The Associated Press had still...
