    The growing scandal plaguing MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has been “ricocheting around the halls” of 30 Rock, with his colleagues calling it a “bridge too far” for them, Fox News Digital has learned. On Tuesday, MSNBC said it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign paid $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit ahead of a friendly interview with the Democratic nominee just weeks before the election. “MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,” an MSNBC spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon, which first broke the story. Harris sat down for a...

    The Harris-Walz campaign funneled some $500,000 to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s nonprofit, the National Action Network, prior to the vice president’s softball sit-down interview with the civil rights activist. Vice President Kamala Harris’ team made two donations of $250,000 to Sharpton’s group on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1 respectively, according to Federal Election Commission records. The cash flow came in the context of payments totaling $5.4 million to various black and Latino activist organizations as the campaign set its sights on galvanizing support among minority voters. The Washington Free Beacon first reported the donations. Available campaign finance records are current...

    On today's Morning Joe, NBC reporter Peter Alexander described the mood at a Kamala donor party in DC last night as being like "a funeral."And Mika Brzezinski certainly dressed for the occasion today, draped, as you see, in all black.Claire McCaskill was near tears as she acknowledged that Trump understood the electorate better than Dems: that "fear and anger" work, and that our "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton predictably blamed racial and gender,"bias" and "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men for Kamala's poor showing with them. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    Rev. Al Sharpton is organizing a summit where political leaders and elected officials can discuss the federal corruption charges looming over Mayor Adams and their ramifications — and urged Gov. Hochul Saturday not to remove Hizzoner over the indictment alone. “I have called an emergency meeting of New York City and state leaders in the next few days to discuss how we collectively address this situation,” the longtime Adams ally and civil-rights leader told The Post. “The mayor deserves his due process and his day in court, and the focus of our discussion will be whether or how a city...

    A former porn star and go-go dancer who has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of forcing her to have sex during his “freak offs” claims she saw the likes of Donald Trump, Diana Ross and Rev. Al Sharpton at his famed parties, a new report said. Adria English, 46, name-checked the A-listers in an interview with Daily Mail on Friday after the ex-adult film star filed a lawsuit against Combs earlier this year, alleging he groomed her into a sex trafficking victim while she worked his parties nearly two decades ago. English claimed she saw the bevy of famous faces at...

    MSNBC host Al Sharpton and frequent guest Donny Deutsch expressed fears Friday that Donald Trump would place them on an enemy’s “list” if he was elected president again, suggesting imprisonment or worse awaited them. Deutsch, known for his excitable anti-Trump screeds on “Morning Joe,” said Trump would put enemies in jail and there would be no free media in another Trump administration, turning suddenly to Sharpton and asking, “Are you worried, going forward, that you’re on a list if Donald Trump is elected? Yes or no?”

    Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the most notorious antisemites in contemporary American politics, used the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax at the final event of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday night. Sharpton has a long history of antisemitism, racism, and general bigotry. He was so notorious that then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) would not be seen with him in public in 2008; he later

"This kind of entanglement harms the credibility of the journalist, the news organization, and journalism overall, and credibility is difficult to restore," Rod Hicks, the director of ethics and diversity at the Society of Professional Journalists, told...

The rally and Trump’s inauguration coincide with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “While Trump supporters will be on one side of Washington watching him take the oath of office, I will be at the nation’s capital working to keep the dream alive,” Sharpton said. “There has never been a more important time to peacefully organize and mobilize.” Sharpton emphasized that the rally will be nonviolent, “unlike the 2021 insurrection.”...

    President Donald Trump lit it up over the weekend at McDonald's in Bucks County, PA. He worked the fry station and the drive thru window. It got all kinds of attention and he looked like he was in his element. The left lost their minds over it, which made it extra hilarious. It showed once again, Trump's natural ability to interact with people as opposed to Kamala Harris' lack of ability. It was a brilliant campaign move and brought epic images including this one. He was also cheered by steelworkers in Latrobe, PA and at the Pittsburgh Steelers game on...

    The so-called “Central Park Five” sued former President Donald Trump Monday, saying he made “false and defamatory” statements about them during last month’s presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Korey Wise filed the civil complaint in US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging Trump, 78, “falsely stated” that they had “killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime.” “These statements are demonstrably false. Plaintiffs never pled guilty to any crime and were subsequently cleared of all wrongdoing,” lawyers for the quintet wrote in the 18-page filing....

The interview with prerecorded and aired Sunday evening. Al Sharpton asked Kamala Harris about her lack of support from men of all races. Black men are not supporting Kamala Harris which is why the Democrat machine sent Barack Obama on the campaign trail to shame black men.

    VIDEOOh the Horror! MSNBC along with most of the rest of the media, which in 2020 assured us that it would be just fine to wait a few weeks to find out the election results due to mail in ballots, suddenly changed its tune and is now concerned about speed in counting the ballots. Specifically they are worried about the hand counted ballots in Georgia that would avoid the problems of cheating via election machine. Oh, and as you will see they hand count ballots in France with a much larger population with Georgia and their results are usually determined...

    Vice President Harris offered effusive praise for Sean “Diddy” Combs while participating in a town hall dedicated to the coronavirus and black Americans. The two-hour event in April 2020 was co-hosted by CNN political commentator Van Jones and also featured Rev. Al Sharpton and “Squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) “Hey everyone, it’s good to be with you this evening. Sean I want to thank you because you always have a way of convening and bringing folks together,” Harris said on the call. She later followed up in an effusive tweet that was widely mocked...

    MSNBC's Morning Joe tap-danced on the Democrat line again on Monday, freaking out over Donald Trump joking to the Christians at a Turning Point USA "Believers Summit" that they won't need to vote in four years because "we'll have it fixed." Sharpton thought he was criticizing Donald Trump. Instead, he unintentionally revealed something ominous about the Dem strategy for "winning" elections. "If he's saying he's going to give the far-right Christians what they want, it is frightening at best. They're trying in some states to stop a drop box for voting, trying to limit early voting, He intends to set...

Ancient Greece and the ideals we celebrate on Fourth of July greatly influenced the push for American independence.
