A former Democratic megadonor blasted his party’s newly released election autopsy, arguing the party doesn't need a lengthy report to understand why voters rejected them. John Morgan, who has previously given over a million dollars to the Democratic Party, revealed he didn’t give "a penny" to the 2024 campaign once Vice President Kamala Harris took the helm. Speaking on "Jesse Watters Primetime," Morgan argued the DNC’s post-mortem report misses the mark, failing to address the party’s decision to embrace certain progressive social issues. "I don't know what they spent on this autopsy, but they could have given me nothing and...

The Democratic National Committee has finally released an outside review of 2024 campaign losses that the party says was delivered unfinished and full of unverified claims about problems and solutions. DNC Chairman Ken Martin, facing internal criticism for a decision to shelve the report after he received it late last year, apologized in a Substack post accompanying the report for withholding the document until now. "When I received the report late last year, it wasn't ready for primetime," Martin wrote. "Not even close. And because no source material was provided, fixing it would have meant starting over, from the beginning...

While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it, Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and did not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened, this person said. Like most prospective candidates, Harris is staying involved in political affairs. That includes touring the country, giving speeches to state parties, developing the framework for a policy platform and sounding out fellow Democrats about her next chapter. What’s unique about Harris is that while she tries to orient toward the future, many in her party are actively fighting...

As former Vice President Kamala Harris considers another run for president, she is also signaling that she has no problem with a public airing of what went wrong last time — telling donors she believes the Democratic National Committee should release its buried autopsy of her failed 2024 campaign, according to a person who has heard the conversations. While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it, Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and did not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened, this person said.

Pod Save America co-host and former Obama White House director of speechwriting Jon Favreau grilled Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Ken Martin this week over his refusal to release the full report on how the Democratic Party lost the election in 2024. “When you won the chairmanship in February of ’25, you criticized the DNC’s refusal to release their 2016 autopsy as exactly what not to do,” said Favreau during an interview with Martin on Tuesday.

Democrat Party members reportedly are angry that Chairman Ken Martin decided to bury a postmortem of the 2024 election. Democrats commissioned an extensive internal review of what went wrong after their losses last year only to have Martin decide the public, donors, and even many party activists won't get to see it. The backlash is coming from inside the Democrat tent, where strategists and operatives warn that refusing to air the findings reinforces a growing trust problem and all but guarantees the party repeats the mistakes. The DNC's "autopsy," the Washington Examiner noted, followed a bruising cycle in which Democrats...

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin has decided not to publish the post-election autopsy the Party has been working on since last year. "Look, we did our best to try to convince voters that Trump and the Republicans are fascists who want to undermine our democracy," he said. "But our message was drowned out by unfavorable media coverage and the inherent racism of white voters. The censorship of social media that was so successful during the pandemic lost steam as more folks began to doubt the effectiveness of the vaccine President Biden mandated. As data showed the vaccine didn't...

What is the Democrat Party’s long-term strategy? They ran Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, then installed Kamala Harris as his replacement despite not winning even one delegate, and has since relied on radical party bosses and unpopular policies to combat Trump’s win. On this week’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the party’s post-2024 election autopsy and explains why they’re doomed to fail if they continue on their trajectory. “ After the defeat of Kamala Harris in November 2024, the Democrats decided recently to run an autopsy, a discovery, so to speak, of...

A forensic pathologist who was present at Jeffrey Epstein’s post-mortem has called for a reinvestigation into the disgraced financier’s death, arguing that it was more consistent with strangulation than suicide by hanging.

ST. PAUL — Derek Chauvin was granted permission to test materials from George Floyd’s autopsy in a challenge to Floyd’s cause of death on Monday, Dec. 16, by federal Judge Paul A. Magnuson of the U.S. District Court of Minnesota. In May 2020, 46-year-old Floyd died after Chauvin, then a Minneapolis police officer, kneeled on his neck. Floyd’s death sparked worldwide Black Lives Matter protests in the months following. As part of a bid to reverse his guilty plea in the case, Chauvin filed a motion requesting further testing of Floyd’s autopsy. Chauvin argued in his complaint that his trial...

Heidi Matthews, a law professor at York University in Toronto, specializing in international criminal law and laws of war, calls for an investigation into the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel. In a statement published on Twitter, Matthews wrote: ''A wounded fighter attempting an escape is not hors de combat; this is why Israel claims Sinwar was killed while trying to escape. While he was wounded in a first attack & fled to the building in which he died, the video shows him seated when he was killed." ''The physician who conducted Sinwar's autopsy confirmed the cause of...

Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA), who is the leader of the House task force in charge of investigating the assassination attempt on President Trump, has revealed the autopsy of Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks is “gruesome.” In a comment to The Daily Mail, Rep. Kelly said that people who “don’t have a strong stomach” shouldn’t see the autopsy. Punch Bowl News reported the Trump Shooting Task Force obtained the autopsy through a subpoena to the Allegheny County medical examiner. Also contained in the subpoena was a request for everyone in the room when the autopsy occurred.

Officials are refusing to release autopsy records for Trump shooter Thomas Crooks, and bombshell findings from Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., may explain why. Higgins, who’s on the House Task Force to investigate the Trump assassination attempt, issued his preliminary findings Thursday, telling the public that the FBI released Crooks’s body to his family for cremation before he could examine it. Higgins, a former law enforcement officer, also said the FBI scrubbed the crime scene of biological evidence, which he said is “unheard of.” “My effort to examine Crooks’ body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a...

Scientists have recreated the face of a 16th-century woman with a brick jammed into her mouth, an object apparently wedged there to stop her from eating the dead — as Italian locals believed she was a vampire. The spooky story begins at a mass grave discovered on the Venetian island of Lazzaretto Nuovo, a location used as a bubonic plague quarantine in the late 1500s and 1600s. In 2006, archeological studies found some bodies that were buried centuries ago. “When they supposedly identified a vampire, one of those responsible for the plague according to popular myth at the time, they...

Kephart called Morris’s use of force “indefensible”...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: Derek Chauvin calls his trial a ‘sham’ in first interview from prison New doc shows FBI could have modified Floyd's autopsy

November 22, 1963, is a date defined by I will never forget. Sent home from school alone, frightened and attached to the TV, the day unfolded before me that even by today's standards was too much, too fast and too sad to grasp the entirety of what went down. My commitment to understanding it moved from passive to active many years later when Dr. Lawrence Klein, one of my personal physicians introduced to me by by mom, told me that on Nov. 22, 1963, he was a third-year medical student at UT Southwestern, doing a rotation at Parkland Memorial Hospital,...
