CHICAGO - Backstage, as she prepares for a not-so-intimate “fireside chat” about gun safety in front of hundreds of people, Kamala Harris is unscripted and seemingly at ease, no notes or teleprompter in sight. She’s comfortable offering condolences and counsel to those who’ve lost loved ones to gun violence - who stream in wearing red shirts emblazoned with “Moms Demand Action” or “Students Demand Action.” She holds their hands and looks into their eyes. “We speak their names,” she whispers to one woman. **SNIP** Her tenure as Joe Biden’s No. 2 has not been known for relaxed and warm moments...

I like Drew Barrymore and have enjoyed her movies a lot from time to time. I don’t know a ton about her, but I do know she had a rough time growing up and being part of a storied Hollywood family, she had drug and alcohol addiction problems, was exploited, even attempted suicide, and just in general had a hard time finding her way in life. Fortunately, she overcame all that and became a successful actress, producer, and talk show host. She’s also the mother of two young daughters. Unfortunately, however, Drew did a bad thing on her talk...

They just can’t quit Kyle Rittenhouse. Forget the guy was arrested, charged, stood trial, and was found innocent by a jury of his peers … no no, since he’s a straight, white, conservative male he will forever be the ‘villain’ to ignorant people who care more about politics than reality and facts. Like Soledad O’Brien. We’re pretty sure she didn’t think this tweet through though. But then again, does she ever? Just take a look at her timeline. *************************************** Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien · Follow For killing people. Yes. Kyle Rittenhouse @ThisIsKyleR People need to start being held accountable. 9:25 PM...

Vice President Kamala Harris accidentally commended the country’s strong alliance with the “Republic of North Korea” during a speech at the Demilitarized Zone located on the Korean Peninsula, likely meaning to refer to the “Republic of Korea,” which is South Korea’s name. The slip-up came during the vice president’s first visit to the DMZ on Thursday, where Harris vowed U.S. support for South Korea against the North Korean government. The DMZ acts as a buffer zone between the two countries. Harris's visit came just one day after North Korea fired a third ballistic missile into the sea, following two other...

VIDEO: Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm: “Yeah, I do” like the idea of banning gas-powered vehicle sales

ABC’s legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes former President Donald Trump should be “criminally prosecuted.” Discussing the upcoming public hearing of the House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021, co-host Sara Haines said, “So I think that we need to watch it. I hope it is amazing TV because I think the visual will be powerful. I, like everyone else, the slow leak of articles and subpoenas, I’ve become numb to the coverage of it. This is where it comes to a head, and we see the transparency of everything that’s been done....

Make room, Elijah, Jeremiah, and Isaiah. There's a new prophet in town, and his name is Chuck! On the occasion of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, today's Morning Joe brought in Suzannah Lipscomb, billed as an NBC News "royal contributor." Lipscomb enthused over Prince Charles for his trendy views on climate: "His interests in things like sustainable agriculture, and climate change, and deforestation, you know, they’re not seen as eccentricities anymore. They're seen as current concerns. He is a kind of prophet in that way." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

On Feb. 8, gold medalist Eileen Gu posted on Instagram to announce her win at the Beijing Winter Olympics. As social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are banned in China, many Chinese have questioned why she, but not the general public, could use Instagram in mainland China. “Anyone can download a VPN its literally free on the App store,” Gu replied, according to a screenshot of her now-deleted post. Gu, who was born in San Francisco and raised by a single mother, has made headlines for her decision to compete for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) despite...

Olivia Rodrigo schooled Anthony Fauci on "man crush Mondays" in a new video aimed at pushing young people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The nation's leading infectious diseases expert and the "good 4 u" singer read tweets from fans in the pro-vaccination video released Friday by the White House. After Fauci reads aloud a tweet wishing him a "happy man crush Monday" and praising his "intelligence" and "compassion," he tells Rodrigo, "Well that's very nice to say that." When asked if he knows what the lovey-dovey term means, he responded with a laugh, "No idea." "Man crush Monday is just...

AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday. “They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill. “It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at...

Actress and left-wing activist Mia Farrow tweeted responded to a revenge shooting in the Bronx by tweeting “humans are a species that should not have guns.” Farrow was reacting to a New York Daily News report of 18-year-old Luis Rivera driving up alongside 24-year-old Nelson Caban on the Bronx Expressway and shooting him dead. Caban had allegedly shot and wounded Rivera eight months earlier.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she is in therapy after the Capitol Riot she believes was an 'all-out attempted coup'. The Squad member told the Latino USA podcast that she is learning to 'slow down' and indicated her colleagues in the House are still too scared to talk about what happened on January 6. 'Oh yeah, I'm doing therapy but also I've just slowed down. I think the Trump administration had a lot of us, especially Latino communities, in a very reactive mode,' she said.

Good Afternoon And WELCOME To The Grace Curley Show, Hosted By A Conservative Millennial!

Actress Julia Roberts will be presenting an “Award of Courage” to the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci, who she calls her “personal hero.” “You have been a beacon for us, and so, for me it is such a great thrill to represent amfAR in presenting this to you,” said Julia Roberts, who is presenting Fauci with amfAR’s Award of Courage at the organization’s virtual “A Gala for Our Time” event on March 4, according to a report by People. “There’s just no one more deserving, and you’ve been tireless, and true...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that half of the members of the House were at risk of dying during the Capitol protests on Wednesday as she and other Democrats prepare to vote this week on another impeachment against President Donald Trump. 'If another head of state came in and ordered an attack on the United States Congress, would we say that that should not be prosecuted? Would we say that there should be absolutely no response to that?' the New York congresswoman posed to ABC's 'This Week' host George Stephanopoulos. 'No,' Ocasio-Cortez asserted. 'It is an act of insurrection. It's an...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said recently on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she will be working hard to make sure Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock beat incumbent Senator. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in upcoming Senate runoff elections. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Biden is planning a wave of executive orders to roll back some of Trump’s policies once he takes office, on everything from climate to the so-called Muslim ban. As of now, however, it looks as though Republicans, at least until January, will hold control of the Senate. That’s going to complicate your desire...

Steve King lost the Iowa GOP primary. That’s what we do. We vote racists out of office.

There has already been reason to suspect that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is daydreaming more than usual about creating a socialist utopia in the midst of this crisis. The other day she said on Twitter that the collapse of oil prices was wonderful to see, ignoring the fact that it could mean hundreds of thousands of people will be out of work soon.AOC quickly pulled down the tweet in question and never really tried to defend the idea massive job losses were good news. But today there’s a preview of an interview she did with Vice in which she suggests...

True to form, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is playing the "a crisis is a terrible thing to waste" game and is calling for reparations because minorities are getting the coronavirus at a faster rate than white people. Reparations for being sick, reparations for being a distant ancestor of a former slave, reparations for being a victim of "redlining," reparations for business inequalities -- eventually she's going to run out of white people's money to take. But that won't deter our fearless warrior queen.

Environmentalism seems to have entered into an extremely weird phase. A great example is lefty climate alarmist Naomi Klein trying to use the coronavirus pandemic to stoke fear and anger over capitalism in an eight minute and forty-eight second video. She slammed “coronavirus capitalism” and whined that the climate is more important than economic stability during the coronavirus pandemic: “China, for its part, is indicating that it will relax environmental standards to stimulate its economy, which would wipe out the one major benefit the crisis has produced so far: a marked drop in that country’s lethal air pollution,” [emphasis added]....
