Kathy Hochul (D) stated, “I don’t want to highlight” migrants who committed crimes and that while the state has stronger cooperation with ICE than New York City does and is right to do so, she won’t say if she wants the city to tighten its laws. Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams (D), he’s trying to make moves on this right now, saying that he wants to basically change the city’s sanctuary city status in order to make it easier to deport migrants who...

Jill Biden has come out fighting following the scathing special prosecutor's report on her husband's memory, saying claims Joe forgot their son Beau's death were intended 'to score political points.' 'Believe me, like anyone who has lost a child, Beau and his death never leave him,' the First Lady said in a statement shared by a campaign X account. The statement came in response to special prosecutor Robert K. Hur's conclusion that Biden should not be charged for mishandling classified documents, but only because a jury wouldn't convict him because he would appear as 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with...

The man who helped his roommate skip town after killing two people at a Clovis bar is now officially serving a jail sentence. The victims' families talked about that pain in court Thursday, and also about the hatred they feel towards the shooter and the man they say is just as much to blame. Savannah Gonzalez didn't pull any verbal punches when she talked about Anthony Guzman. "I can't even express the hate we feel towards you," she said. "To say we hate you is actually an understatement." Her brother-in-law was 21-year-old Merehildo Luna. Police say Eddie Cordero gunned down...

SACRAMENTO -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who three years ago placed a moratorium on executions, now is moving to dismantle the nation's largest death row by moving all condemned inmates to other prisons within two years.

"CBS This Morning" co-host Tony Dokoupil gave a perplexing excuse Wednesday for a man seen in a viral video stealing multiple items at a San Francisco Walgreens before exiting the store on a bicycle. Dokoupil claimed the man was probably getting something he needed and suggested that nothing should have been done to stop the crime as it was taking place. "So crime is never justified of course," Dokoupil said after CBS' Vlad Duthiers played the video of the theft. He was interrupted by co-host Anthony Mason, saying, "I will say that I think they could have made a little...

We often hear about inmates on death row who are exonerated after years behind bars, usually because the prosecution made procedural errors, or there wasn’t any DNA evidence to convincingly prove the person committed the crime. But what if it was made clear at the trial that someone else committed the murder, not the guy sentenced to death row? Patrick Bearup has been sitting behind bars for almost 17 years, sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. He fell in with some bad people in his 20s. They told him to accompany them to the house of...

So, apparently, the Russians were organizing these rallies against Trump to help Trump… or something. In fact, the Russians were working as they always do, to divide the country. Something that Mueller has now apparently decided to help them with. How you ask? Oh, by getting children, leftists and low-information voters (yeah, I know, I DO like to repeat myself) to believe that “indictments were handed down” and it’s therefore proven that Trump had Russian help. By the time the court throws these out on the basis of “First Amendment, morons,” everyone who is very young or on the left,...
