It’s been nearly a week since Gov. Ron DeSantis’ team released an ugly anti-LGBTQ video, sparking some pushback. As NBC News reported, the Florida Republican, whose presidential campaign is struggling, defended the video publicly for the first time. “Identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream, where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants — I think that’s totally fair game, because he’s now campaigning saying the opposite,” DeSantis told conservative commentator Tomi Lahren in an interview for her streaming show “Tomi Lahren is Fearless.” Keep in mind, the...

Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign team released a wild culture war ad on Friday taking aim at former President Trump as Pride Month ends, using clips from “American Psycho” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” to hammer home the Florida firebrand’s leadership on issues. “To wrap up ‘Pride Month,’ let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…” the DeSantis War Room tweeted with a compilation of clips showing Trump’s ties to the LGBTQ and transgender community. The video begins with a 2016 clip of Trump telling the Republican National Convention, “I will do everything...

The 2024 presidential campaign is already in full swing, and appropriately enough Joe Biden has come out with a commercial that’s a real… swing and a miss. The ad features a parade of Democratic heavyweights like Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker explaining that they’re all-in on supporting the President. As if that was ever in question. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how this commercial should be a huge hit with people who are already 100 percent committed to voting for Joe Biden.

What a great ad for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. It sure sounds like an, “I’m running for President” ad, but it stops short. It builds on Ronald Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing” speech before he ran for President.....

Gunmaker Heckler & Koch tweeted agreement Tuesday with Miller Lite’s woke campaign against using sexy women — “bunnies” — to sell products, then doubled down in a second tweet, describing ad campaigns that objectify women as “trash marketing.” On Monday, Graham Allen tweeted the Miller Light commercial, expressing his shock that Miller Lite appeared to repeat Bud Light’s mistake. He wrote, “Did NOBODY learn from Bud Light’s COSTLY mistake? Miller Lite just dropped this WOKE advertisement!!! When will these beer companies learn????”

The Trump campaign has released a new ad titled "Mourning in America," in which an alarm clock is shown with the word "morning," which then becomes "mourning," depicting the suffering felt by average Americans under President Joe Biden. Images of chaos at the border, Drag Queen Story Hour, American coffins, and a stumbling President Joe Biden play out while a narrator says: "It's mourning again in America, and thanks to Joe Biden, our borders are now wide open for all to come. Our schools free from parental involvement. .... Under Biden's unprecedented inflation, the hope of home ownership gone, and...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – Gov. Ron DeSantis launched an ad Thursday on social media highlighting parts of his recent speech at Hillsdale College in southern Michigan. “We reject the idea that self-government can be subcontracted out to bureaucratic elite. We insist on the restoration of the timeless constitutional principles that have made this country unique so that government of, by, and for the people shall not perish from this earth,” DeSantis said. “My message of freedom from Florida: it requires us to hold the line and it requires us to never ever back down,” DeSantis continued. Hillsdale College is a...

The super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for 2024 rolled out its first national ad Thursday. Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting DeSantis’ unannounced prospective candidacy for the White House in 2024, released its ad publicly. The super PAC is spending at least $1 million to place the ad, which will be broadcast nationally beginning Monday. "When the world went mad, we stood as a refuge of sanity," the ad states. "Whether forged in our upbringing, built on the belief to compete and win, or cemented in service to country." "Across the country men and women willing to...

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis released a new digital ad Sunday night rallying conservatives to fight for freedom ahead of a potential 2024 presidential run. “When the world lost its mind… when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue… Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world,” DeSantis said in the nearly two-minute video. The ad features numerous major figures at Fox News — including Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Dana Perino, and Lisa Boothe — touting DeSantis’ repeated successes while serving as the governor of Florida. “Florida’s...

Results from 6-year-old Anastasia Weaver's autopsy may take weeks. But online anti-vaccine activists needed only hours after her funeral this week to baselessly blame the COVID-19 vaccine. A prolific Twitter account posted Anastasia's name and smiling dance portrait in a tweet with a syringe emoji. A Facebook user messaged her mother, Jessica Day-Weaver, to call her a "murderer" for having her child vaccinated. In reality, the Ohio kindergartner had experienced lifelong health problems since her premature birth, including epilepsy, asthma and frequent hospitalizations with respiratory viruses. "The doctors haven't given us any information other than it was due to all...

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-N.Y., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R.-Ky., have struck a deal to include the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), according to Axios. If the deal holds, it will move this essential piece of legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk. The NDAA must pass by year’s end to fund America’s military. The JCPA would allow news organizations to band together to negotiate fair fees from online platforms, such as Facebook and Google, who derive ad revenue from the hard work of newsrooms — mostly small, local, community-rooted...

Former President Donald Trump released an ad urging voters to support America First Republican candidates to “help save America,” just days before next week’s midterm elections. The video starts with audio of Trump saying that next week’s election is a “referendum” on President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), and Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D).” “The radical left Democrat Congress is destroying our country,” Trump said. “You’re going to elect an incredible slate of True America First Republicans up and down the ballot.” The video displayed text encouraging voters to vote Republican while the montage of Trump’s audio...

This is from when he ran for the Senate in 2016 and lost the primary, but it is making the rounds on the interweb again.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman recreated the classic 1979 Coca-Cola advertisement featuring football legend ‘Mean’ Joe Greene in a bizarre video during his failed 2016 U.S. Senate campaign. The original Coca-Cola advertisement began with Greene, a Pittsburgh Steelers legend, hobbling down the tunnel after a game when a child approaches him to offer a coke. Greene accepts it and tosses this child his jersey, saying, “thanks, kid.”

'Our American Century' released a new campaign ad against John Fetterman as a parody of the 'Wellerman' sea shanty.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will completely pull all his super PAC’s money out of New Hampshire, effectively sabotaging Republican Senate candidate Gen. Don Bolduc. The McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund will pull all its ads off television starting October 25, Shane Goldmacher of the News York Times reported Friday afternoon. The decision will rip $5.6 million away from Gen. Bolduc’s candidacy and greatly help incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH).
