Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) slammed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for “blaming” President Joe Biden for Vice President Kamala Harris’s election loss, noting that she got what she wanted when Biden dropped out of the race. In an interview with Politico, Fetterman pointed out that Pelosi, 84, could not “have it both ways,” adding that she and others within the Democrat Party had got what they wanted when Biden dropped out of the presidential race after his disastrous performance at the presidential debate on June 27.

Soon-Shiong said he was specifically looking for influential conservative voices like Scott Jennings at CNN. Jennings has been a commentator on the left-leaning outlet since 2017. Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong on Thursday night said that he was looking to hire conservative voices to help balance out the editorial section of his newspaper. Soon-Shiong previously stated that he would be working to make the newspaper more fair moving forward, after deciding not to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections. Several newspaper owners withheld endorsements in the 2024 elections, with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos claiming it...

America never really gave Donald Trump a chance... until now. The highest his average approval rating ever got to was 43%, in mid-December, 2016. The best that could be said for him by middle-of-the-road voters had been that he was better than Hillary... again, until now. YouGov and Morning Consult were two pollsters that were skewed against Trump the hardest: both predicted him losing to Harris by two to four points. But they're the first two pollsters to poll his current approval rating, and they both have him higher than ever: YouGov has him at 49% and Morning Consult at...

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...

President Joe Biden's White House meeting with President-elect Donald Trump led to several social media reactions, with many speculating that the Democrat crossed the party lines to secretly vote for his 2020 rival. During Wednesday's meeting, Biden showed cheerful expressions. Popular podcaster Joe Rogan said he can 'guarantee' that the president voted for Trump. Another user on X reacted, "Of course Biden voted for Trump after the Democrats betrayed him. " "I bet Biden is just so happy to be done with this charade," commented a fourth person. Speculations about Biden secretly voting for Trump first surfaced after first lady...

An American Airlines flight nearly crashed into a mountain range in Hawaii — but escaped tragedy when it was ordered to rapidly gain altitude, officials said Friday. Los Angeles-bound Flight 298 had just taken off from Honolulu at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday when the air traffic controller ordered the crew to “expedite your climb” — meaning quickly ascend to avoid danger, according to audio broadcast by the website LiveATC. “Number 298 turn right, expedite your climb through terrain and then turn right,” the traffic controller said, ... The dramatic elevation gain — which came after the pilot failed to make a...

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.

[Small excerpt of transcript, formatted by https://www.perplexity.ai/, but there is way more to the 50 min. video The United States and Taiwan have always maintained a complicated relationship.

However, following the conclusion of that war, the Chinese Nationalist government of the ROC almost immediately resumed its long-standing civil...

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...
