Donald Trump is magic. I'm not joking. There really is something magical about the power he has over the world. Any normal person would have been crushed by all the forces arrayed against him, but somehow, he has survived and thrived despite constant attacks. Since his election, both Russia and Ukraine have changed their tunes about finding a negotiated settlement, the markets have breathed a sigh of relief, free market advocates have been giddy and talking about investing in the United States, pharmaceutical companies are running scared, and...government employees are talking about mass resignations! Ending wars is difficult. Getting career...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she hopes President-elect Donald Trump reconsiders replacing FBI director Christopher Wray, whom he previously appointed in 2017, with Kash Patel. Host Jake Tapper said, “So Trump is also reportedly considering Kash Patel as FBI director. Patel worked in the Defense Department during Trump’s first term. He’s promised in the past to essentially go after Trump’s enemies, and including people in the media. He has not been formally nominated, but it is definitely true that Trump is considering making him FBI director. Do you have a take on him?”

Vice President Kamala Harris' social media campaign has hit the ground running, but it didn't just fall out of a coconut tree, as there appears to be a very distinct youth strategy at play. … Indeed, according to figures from CNN, @BidenHQ posted on TikTok 335 times with around 500,000 views per post. Compare that to the 6 million views per post that @KamalaHQ has been averaging since July. There's no doubt that Harris HQ is using social media to target younger voters, as Grayce McCormick, founder of Lightfinder Public Relations, told Newsweek that they have demonstrated a "nuanced understanding"...

“Cigarette Daydreams” presents the pain of one’s search for identity through the musings of a parted lover. Lyrics: [Verse 1] Did you stand there all alone? Oh, I cannot explain what's going down I can see you standing next to me In and out somewhere else right now You sigh, look away I can see it clear as day Close your eyes, so afraid Hide behind that baby face [Pre-Chorus] Do-do-do, do-do-do [Chorus] You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer [Verse 2] Funny how...

Ivy League universities, particularly Harvard and Columbia, have faced a crisis since October 2023, when both institutions revealed themselves as places where blatant anti-Semitism openly flourishes. Amid the anti-Semitic uprisings on campus, the presidents of both schools also faced academic plagiarism charges. Alumni and donors, who expected more from the schools’ leaders and did not share the apparent tolerance for Jew-hatred, have stopped contributing financially. As reputational and financial damage mounted, Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned in disgrace last January, and Columbia President Minouche Shafik followed in August. But with those poison Ivies still trying to find a way to...

Shut up and go to the bathroom you're supposed to. The Ohio bathroom bill otherwise known as Senate bill 104 is entirely the fault of the trans community. The LGBTQ madness has gone too far and bills like these are the country letting the trans and non-binary know that we are done with all of it.

Things might look gloomy at CNN with layoffs, salary cuts and a new digital programming model that may or may not work. But On The Money has learned that private equity firms have been crunching the numbers on a possible acquisition of the ratings-challenged network. Don’t exactly hold your breath for anything happening soon, my sources both at CNN and in the private equity business tell me. The network’s parent, Warner Bros Discovery, isn’t yet shopping CNN. Indeed, no firm has made a bid, my sources tell me: the PE people I spoke to don’t really know how to really...

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tyson vs. Paul. In a boxing ring.

Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic have gained popularity recently for their ability to support weight loss, which can mostly be attributed to their appetite-suppressing effects. Ozempic is in a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1. This slows down gastric emptying and sends signals of fullness to the brain. Basically, this means food stays in the stomach longer and tells the brain that you are full and don't need more food. This leads to less calorie consumption and, eventually, weight loss.

Long before Karl Marx was even born. Long before Karl Marx was a sperm cell in his father’s dreams, the Pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism, and they found that it didn’t work. Now, it wasn’t called that then. But that’s exactly what it was. Everybody was given an equal share. You know what happened? Nobody did anything. There was no incentive. Nothing worked. Nothing happened. “What Bradford and his community found was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else, unless they could...

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen the person who will do battle with the White House press corps for his second term. On Friday, Trump announced in a statement that Karoline Leavitt, the 27-year-old national press secretary of his presidential campaign, would serve as his press secretary for his upcoming administration. She will become the youngest person ever to hold the position. The previous youngest press secretary was the late Ron Ziegler, who served under former President Richard Nixon

Former President Mike Pence is urging Senate Republicans to block Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. President-elect Donald Trump, Pence's former running mate, announced Kennedy's nomination on Thursday, a decision that has raised concerns from public health experts. Kennedy, a former 2024 presidential candidate who went on to back Trump's campaign, has been incredibly critical of vaccinations, including suggesting that childhood vaccines are linked to autism diagnosis. Pence, however, took a different issue with Kennedy's appointment, saying in a statement Friday that making Kennedy the HHS secretary would be "an abrupt departure from...

A graduate student at a Michigan university experienced a chilling interaction with Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini. What began as a seemingly routine academic inquiry turned into a nightmarish scenario when the chatbot delivered a disturbing and threatening message, CBS News reported. The 29-year-old student, who was working on a project about “Challenges and Solutions for Aging Adults,” sought the AI’s assistance. Query: Nearly 10 million children in the United States live in a grandparent headed household, and of these children , around 20% are being raised without their parents in the household.
