Even in Alaska, cold as it gets, if you leave a fish out long enough, it starts to get rank. The same is true for leftists. Give them enough time and enough space, and they will eventually funk up the place, and it will be no secret where the stink is coming from. .... The picture is not pretty. ... Where there’s smoke, there’s fire ... this scandal is growing. ... the scandal starts to strike at the core of the national leftist election infrastructure.

Former senator Al Franken, D-Minn., and more than two dozen other Jewish Americans signed an open letter endorsing Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The open letter, which was first reported by The Washington Post, discusses El-Sayed's foreign policy positions, including statements about Israel and Iran, which "have been a concern for many." However, the letter said, "his positions are much less outside the mainstream of the contemporary foreign-policy debate than some of the charged rhetoric surrounding his candidacy might suggest." While El-Sayed has been highly critical of Israel’s war in Gaza and "abuses in the West Bank," the letter...

"They're taking Lloyd Dobyns off" That's how I felt about the move by NBC to introduce its new live Saturday night show bi-weekly alongside the newsmagazine "Weekend". "Weekend" was a show I had enjoyed during the previous 1974-75 season every week. I liked watching Lloyd Dobyns and his attempt to bring some attitude to television news... I read about this newfangled NBC Saturday Night Live show in the newspaper much hype about the reunion of Simon and Garfunkel which came on the second show in the series later in October. In all honesty I didn't watch the first show and...

<p>OK. This might be hard. You know how the FCC can fine someone on radio or TV for obscenity or for a wardrobe malfunction? This applies to the public airways—broadcast radio and TV. Here’s the idea: Extend this to cable and internet (that alone would require some heavy lifting), but instead of obscenity, the rule covers lying. Not opinion, of course. Actual lying.</p>

Disgraced former Senator Al Franken (D-MN) compared Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Dahmer in a tweet written Thursday.

A former Democratic senator who made headlines in a 2017 sexual harassment scandal that forced his resignation has sparked ridicule after endorsing Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming in her upcoming Republican primary. Wyoming Republicans go to the polls Tuesday to decide between Cheney, who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, and challenger Harriet Hageman, who has Trump’s support. One poll released last week gave Hageman a 29-point lead over Cheney. Former U.S. Sen. Al Franken, who stepped down from the Senate in early 2018, tweeted his endorsement on Saturday. “I’ve decided to endorse @RepLizCheney for...

Former U.S. Senator Al Franken took to Twitter to criticize conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court following a majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a series of tweets, the embattled former Senator-turned-podcast host included a specific criticism of Justice Clarence Thomas, who opined the overturning of the abortion precedent should push his court to review other major cases as well. "After overturning Roe, Thomas wants to revisit Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell. How about revisiting Thomas’ conflicts of interest instead of our rights?" Franken said in a tweet on Saturday. The tweet was in reference to Thomas saying...

Former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans were awful and hypocrites for supporting the Canadian truckers protest that is blocking border crossings between Canada and the United States. Host Joy Reid said, “At a certain point, the Republican center can’t hold. There is no center. The center is the far-right. I wonder what that means long-term for even the United States Senate, which seems like it could very well turn into the House, just smaller and weirder.”

Former U.S. Senator from Minnesota Al Franken is going back on the road for a national comedy tour. Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis just added a second show in October because of high demand. More than three years ago, Franken resigned from the Senate amid sexual misconduct allegations. Jane Kirtley, a professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota, said as time has passed and other scandals have dominated the headlines, some will look at Franken through a different lens. "People's memories can be long, but they also can be very short," Kirtley said. "There is that kind...

SNIP Speaking during an unrelated press briefing Sunday in Midtown Manhattan, Gillibrand said she decided to finally come out against Cuomo because she felt it was important that New York be led by someone able to give the pandemic their undivided attention. “Every situation is different,” said Gillibrand, asked how the allegations against Cuomo compared to the accusations against Franken, who ultimately did resign after multiple women accused him of inappropriate physical contact. SNIP “Because of the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it’s clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners as well as...

In a 14-minute Instagram video, actor Alec Baldwin lashed out against the “cancel culture” and, without naming names, seemed specifically interested in defending director Woody Allen and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY). Sitting at home in the Hamptons, Baldwin also defended himself against those looking to cancel him for defending Allen and Cuomo. “I do have a few people going at me for defending people who have been accused of crimes… Well, I’m not defending someone who is guilty of something. I’m choosing to defend someone who has not been proven guilty of something,” he said. “What I always fall back...

The media have been lying about voter fraud for 20 years. The New York Times and The Washington Post will tell you: Let’s get something straight. There are only two cases of voter fraud in history and they were both Republicans. NEVER? No voter fraud ever? Nope! That’s your first clue they’re lying. Liberals don’t try to say partial-birth abortion never happens. They don’t say black men killing cops never happens. They don’t say immigrants ripping off government programs never happens. Only voter fraud NEVER HAPPENS. I bet you couldn’t find EVEN ONE! How about these? — JOHN ASHCROFT, 2000...
