Finger-pointing has erupted over the Kamala Harris campaign blowing up to $20 million on swing-state concerts Monday night, hours before the VP’s spectacular election loss to Donald Trump — prompting concern that everyday staff and vendors won’t get paid amid reports the campaign is in debt by the same amount. Members of the defeated Harris team tell The Post that the concerts had a ruinous effect on the Democratic campaign’s coffers and that fact was no secret — with one planned performance by ’90s alt-rock goddess Alanis Morissette getting scrapped to save money. The seven swing-state concerts on election eve...

Qatar has reportedly informed Hamas leaders they are “not welcome” in the country, according to sources cited by Israeli broadcaster KAN on Friday. The move follows recent pressure from the United States, KAN reported, and comes just days after Donald Trump became the president-elect, ushering a new era of foreign policy into the White House. For years, Qatar hosted members of Hamas leadership, ostensibly to support dialogue during negotiations, including those around hostage situations. However, three sources familiar with the recent discussions revealed that Qatar’s stance has shifted, telling Hamas leaders to leave the country. Egyptian sources also told Lebanese...

A federal judge in the Southern District of Illinois issued a permanent injunction Friday enjoining the state from enforcing the “assault weapons” ban contained in the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA). The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) was among the plaintiffs in the case. SAF founder Alan Gottlieb responded to the decision, calling Friday “a great day for gun rights.” The judge’s order allows 30 days before the injunction goes into force, giving the state that period of time in which to file an appeal.

Brace yourself, America – the fight for the future of this country has begun. In the 48 hours since President-elect Donald Trump delivered a schoolyard booty stomp to Wokeistan, one thing has become frighteningly clear: Despite unequivocal evidence of an outright MAGA romp (an electoral college avalanche, a rare Republican popular vote victory and a likely GOP-controlled Congress) left-wing lunatics are still clinging to their oat-milk latte delusions like Joe Biden to a baby's foot on Halloween. To the progressively deranged – they may have lost the election night battle, but the war is still raging. And with Donald 'Hitler/Mussolini/Stalin/Lex...

Republican leaders are projecting confidence that they will keep control of the U.S. House as more races were decided in their favor Thursday, while Democrats insist they still see a path toward the majority and sought assurances every vote will be counted.

One of the most harrowing aspects of the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, which claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis, was the glee with which the Palestinian terrorists livestreamed their atrocities for the world to see. Just 13 months later, Jews on social media were once again confronted with footage of an anti-Semitic rampage, one that shook Amsterdam on Thursday evening, following a soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. After the game, social media was flooded with videos of hundreds of jeering and cheering attackers marauding through the city, throwing Israeli soccer fans into the river, beating...

Democrats will keep their majority control of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives next year after holding onto a Johnstown area seat Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams said retaining the House majority was “one of the most challenging yet important priorities of the cycle,” and that her party will be “a critical check on Republican extremism.” Burns, a conservative Democrat who supports gun rights and opposes abortion, has regularly found himself voting against his fellow House Democrats. He has long been an electoral target of Republicans, while many other similarly situated western Pennsylvania districts long ago flipped to...

House Republicans on Friday demanded in a letter that special counsel Jack Smith preserve his records in relation to his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump. They have requested documents and messages relating to meetings between the FBI and officials within the Department of Justice (DOJ) with Smith’s office before a search warrant was executed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in 2023; documents or communications relating to the hiring of staff; and all documents and communications between his office, the attorney general’s office, and the deputy attorney general’s office. “With President Trump’s decisive victory this week, we are concerned that the Office...

Opposition research is one of the most important parts of running a political campaign. Whether you’re using it to highlight your opponent’s ideological inconsistencies or reveal a more salacious personal indiscretion, conducting thorough opposition research is necessary to running a competitive campaign.

Some leftist women are inexplicably shaving their heads in protest of President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory. These distraught women, sharing their hysterical videos to social media, claim to be shaving their heads in protest the “patriarchy,” despite the fact that millions of American women voted for Trump. In one video, a woman in a purple shirt states that she is “giving up on America,” making the statement while shaving the side of her head. She concludes during her rant that basic beauty standards should be completely forgotten, because that is what the “patriarchy” wants.

Dear Democratic Party, and its allies and accomplices, Donald Trump supporters I know have asked me to dedicate some space to thank you for all you did to make their momentous win on November 5 a reality. They insist they couldn't have done it without your help. Here's a partial list of the many people and things Trump voters told me they believe fueled their victory. First of all, thank you for not listening to us or trying to understand us over the past 8 years. Thank you for choosing to call us names like "fascist," "bigot," and "racist" whenever...

More witnesses took the stand Thursday for day three of the manslaughter trial of Marine veteran Daniel Penny. *snip* A 38-year-old Brooklyn woman, who defense attorneys call their star witness, wrapped up her testimony. She testified when Neely was ranting his tone was so believable that there was a moment went she thought she was going to die. She described his behavior as satanic.

To all those think the world will end if we deport all illegals -"I don't care>" To all who think American "democracy" is unfair -"I don't care." To all who say we should give more money to the poor and tax the "rich" -"I don't care." To those who think the homosexual and other freaks will be sad -"I don't care."

Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent ally of Vladimir Putin, said that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is "in no way" a friend of Russia. -snip- "We won't bargain about our constitutional territories, Solovyov said on his program Evening with Vladimir Solovyov. "But [we] can discuss with Trump whether we're going to take Berlin. 'OK, we're not going to take Berlin today,' figuratively speaking. I mean, it's a question of the system of relations.
