Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into Charlie Kirk during a speech on Capitol Hill after Congress voted to honor the late conservative activist. On Friday, the House officially passed a resolution honoring Kirk and his legacy, despite 96 Democrats refusing to explicitly condemn last week's heinous murder at Utah Valley University. A total of 60 Democrats voted against the resolution, with an additional 38 voting ‘present’ - or neutral - and 22 not voting at all. Although the resolution passed with a 310-58 vote, some have raised concerns about the stark difference in response compared to the June assassination of...

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sharply criticized the head of the Federal Communications Commission for urging ABC to crack down on the now-benched late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, calling the Trump appointee's comments "dangerous as hell" and comparing his move to a mafia shakedown. ABC, owned by Disney, took "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely on Wednesday, two days after Kimmel faced criticism for his comments on conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. Just hours before the company's decision, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had publicly urged ABC to "take action" in response to Kimmel's remarks, saying in an interview: "We...

A vein treatment at a clinic owned by a celebrity surgeon has left a Long Island councilwoman in crippling agony, after she was given a procedure she never agreed to that was painfully botched, a new lawsuit claims. Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh claims a doctor employed by TV medical pro Dr. David Greuner — who was once dubbed “America’s Most Beautiful Doctor” — was supposed to give her a complimentary vein test under anesthesia, but wound up giving her an unexpected surgery. The two-term Republican lawmaker claims Dr. Arno Rotgans did the 2020 surgery while she was passed...

An ABC TV station was hit by gunfire on Friday afternoon, just one day after protestors gathered outside and railed against the network's decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Police say the broadcasting station in Sacramento, California, was struck by at least three bullets in what they're calling a drive-by shooting. No injuries were reported, but the shots hit a window that faces the street, and people were inside the building at the time, according to Sacramento Police. 'We haven't had a lot of attacks on our media partners, and we'd like to keep it that way,' Officer...

Calls to unite in the aftermath of the leftist assassination of Charlie Kirk are naive at best. How are we supposed to unite when we cannot even agree that Ilhan Omar needs to be ejected from Congress, where she represents not America but her preferred country Somalia? Trump’s political genius consists largely of taking common sense positions like this: “I think she’s terrible. I think she should be impeached. I think she’s terrible,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. Appallingly, Republicans could not even agree to censure her. The Blaze reports on the perfidy of RINO...

John Impellizzeri, a Munroe Falls City Councilman in Ohio, has resigned following nationwide backlash over his social media post in response to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, in which he stated, “the world is a better place.” Impellizzeri is also under investigation at University Hospitals — where he works — due to his heinous remarks. Impellizzeri has resigned from the council and is the subject of an investigation by his employer following backlash regarding a Facebook post he made last week about Kirk’s assassination, according to a report by Record-Courier. “The world is a better place...

A group of Chicago Democrats, demoralized over their powerlessness to stop ICE from enforcing the law, have taken to street violence in the Windy City today. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers clashed with protesters who were trying to blockade official vehicles, obstruct officers from coming and going, and even slashing police tires on Friday outside its Broadview facility, as the Trump administration continues its “Operation Midway Blitz” campaign to rid Chicago of “the worst of the worst” criminal illegals. The protesters became so violent and obstructive that ICE officers tossed gas canisters among the crowd to disperse them and...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation that will require a $100,000 annual visa fee for highly-skilled foreign workers and rolled out a $1 million “gold card” visa as a pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals, moves that face near-certain legal challenges amid widespread criticism he is sidestepping Congress.If the moves survive legal muster, they will deliver staggering price increases. The visa fee for skilled workers would jump from $215. The fee for investor visas, which are common in many European countries, would climb from $10,000-$20,000 a year.H-1B visas, which require at least a bachelor's...

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday denounced Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s threats to pull ABC’s broadcast license as “unbelievably dangerous” and compared some of his rhetoric to “mafioso” tactics.In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” released on Friday, the Texas Republican said he was “thrilled” Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air by ABC over his comments about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. But he said he strongly disagreed with the government policing speech, asserting it could come back to bite conservatives when Democrats retake power.“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he...

After more than 45 years of living in merry old England, I called a halt some time ago and chose the Big Bagel as my main residence. Alas, I left many friends behind, very good friends who ask me what New York has to offer that London does not. Well, I’ll only tell you, my Chronicles readers, because it would seem like rubbing it in if I published this in an English mag. British phlegm, humor, self-deprecation, and good manners are now a thing of the past in that nation’s capital. London no longer has a majority white population, but...
