There's nothing new in historians claiming that Abraham Lincoln was bisexual or gay. The "theory" took root in the 1970s during the gay awakening and has hung around on the fringes of historical scholarship ever since. Now, a serious documentary purports to "prove" the point using newly unearthed letters, documents, and photographs. Abraham Lincoln slept in the same bed with men — a common practice in 1840s America where a judicial circuit rider like Lincoln would have been forced to share a bed with other travelers while practicing law — and also wrote "passionately" about male friends and acquaintances. What...

Is there anyone more twisted and disgraceful than the ogres over at Project Lincoln? It’s quite telling that even after being ousted from polite society over grooming accusations, they’re still cheered on and funded by Biden supporters. It says a lot about the “NeverTrump” movement, right? But just when you think they’ve hit rock bottom, they manage to dig even deeper. In a bizarre attempt to take a “victory lap,” the Lincoln Project shared a clip glorifying prison shower rape in a twisted and feeble attempt to smear Steve Bannon, who was politically targeted and imprisoned by the regime. But...

HBO host Bill Maher doubled down on his calls for President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race and predicted that the 81-year-old commander in chief would make the historic decision in August. “The issue with President Biden isn’t if, it’s who,” Maher said during Friday’s airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “Who will replace him? Because he is not going to be the Democrats’ candidate for president in 2024, all due respect.” Maher believes that Biden is finished because the American press and politics are run by “mean girls” with a lust to finish off a...

In his editorial New Rule, Bill delivers the TED Talk that young people who lack game need to hear.

Well, it looks like Chris Matthews no longer feels that thrilling tingle running up his leg. After Biden’s disastrous debate performance, it’s more like Chris had something running down his leg. Matthews joined Bill Maher to discuss the debacle, and he didn’t mince words, declaring that Biden isn’t “smart enough” to “keep up” with President Trump. Bill Maher said he knew 90 seconds into the debate that it was game over for Joe and the election was lost. And pay close attention to Chris’s “senior” moment, or was it a Freudian slip, when he accidentally called Biden “Obama” during their...

Bill Maher ripped into the “aggressively anti-common sense” left and casually predicted a Donald Trump victory during an appearance this week at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Maher participated in a talk with English journalist Tina Brown in which he called out modern political tribalism and at one point ripped into younger liberals so much that Brown had to tell the comedian and Real Time host he’s “very cantankerous” as he continued on.Maher argued Democrats are doing themselves no favors ahead of November’s presidential election.“Part of it the left has to own. They are aggressively anti-common sense,” he said. “The Democrats...

During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) argued that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James’ (D) case against the former President were bad cases that shouldn’t have been brought and wouldn’t have been brought if they were about anyone other than Trump and if Trump wasn’t a presidential candidate. After host Bill Maher brought up the Bragg case, Cuomo said, “That case, the attorney general’s case in New York, should have never...

It’s Father’s Day. While I’d never thought that Bill Maher would have a good message for this special day for dads who are denigrated, mocked, and viewed as less than by angry feminists and deranged leftists, the HBO host, who often mocked traditional values throughout his career, appears to yearn for a return of conventional parenting. Specifically, Maher wants a return of the ‘trad dad.’ He wants fathers to have permission to be dads again. One knock on Maher is that he doesn’t have kids or want them. “Yeah, I don’t give b**wjobs either, but I can tell when someone...

Bill Maher is still a Democrat and he's probably going to vote for Joe Biden, if he votes at all, because of his Trump Derangement Syndrome. But the funny thing is, he keeps giving everyone else great reasons why they shouldn't. And he believes that Biden is going to lose, as he explained last week.

Bill Maher joked that 'we've all been' imagining Donald Trump being raped if he is sent to prison for his 34 felony convictions. The comedian said it was a 'puzzling paradox' that rape jokes were 'completely unacceptable and unthinkable' - unless they were about prison. Maher said such jokes would be made more often since the former president's convictions for falsifying business records last Thursday.

Bill Maher predicted an Election Day defeat for President Biden, despite reiterating his support for the president, telling tech journalist Kara Swisher that former President Trump is likely to rally enough support for a second term. “I would vote for [Biden’s] head in a jar of blue liquid over Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean that I’m — first of all, I think it’s a moot point at this point. He’s going to f‑‑‑ing lose,” Maher told Swisher on an episode of his podcast.

On Wednesday, independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. posted an homage to Harvey Milk, an infamous Democrat politician accused of grooming minors, on the day established in 2009 to celebrate his life. Kennedy posted on X, “I want to take a moment to celebrate Harvey Milk Day and honor a man whose bravery transformed our society. Harvey Milk was a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights and the first openly gay individual elected to public office in California." “Harvey died fighting for what he believed in and left behind a world in which people could live more freely and more authentically,"...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to President Joe Biden and 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump agreeing to two presidential debates by stating that the agreement to have the debates shows that Biden “knows he’s losing, because else he wouldn’t have agreed” to debate because “Only the loser wants to debate.” Maher also stated that Trump would want to debate regardless of how he was doing in the polls because “Trump always wants a crowd.”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn arguing that the paper shouldn’t be an instrument for the Biden campaign and only write negative stories about Republicans while writing solely positive stories about Biden by stating that this is what the paper does now. Maher said, “Now that I’m doing interviews…the big question that people are asking me, I see every interviewer ask the same question, which is like, you make fun of the left a lot more than you used to. Yes, I do, because they’re goofier and...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that many of the campus demonstrators don’t know what they’re talking about and “a lot of the problem” is schools teaching ridiculous classes like Harvard’s course on Taylor Swift. Former CNN host Don Lemon stated that “some of” the protesters are bigots, and “a lot of them don’t have the information needed because they’re getting their news from TikTok…and they don’t have the history of what’s going on.”

Hell froze over when Bill Maher defended the likes of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on his show Friday. The NFL player recently delivered a controversial commencement address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, which sent the Left into meltdown mode. On one hand, there were some parts that many could view as anachronistic about the speech. Then again, Butker is a devout Catholic who delivered an address that aligned with those values. You can disagree without going crazy. And if Maher, an outspoken atheist and critic of organized religion, can shrug this off, so can everyone else. The...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher reacted to the United Kingdom and Scandinavian nations walking back transitioning children by saying that America has tried to be so progressive, it’s actually behind the rest of the world and that the American medical establishment won’t make the same corrections other nations have because “They’re afraid.” Maher stated, “Let me add one more thing to our discussion there about rolling back some of the overexcesses in 2020…this is in the U.K., they are now pronouncing the United States as way behind. This is so, to me, symbolic of so...

“You say it’s not a MeToo case,” Maher pressed Daniels at the time. “It’s not a MeToo case,” Daniels replied. “I wasn’t assaulted. I wasn’t attacked, or raped, or coerced or blackmailed.” ... Daniels [Friday] claimed that Trump “was bigger and blocking the way,” that at the end of it, saying “my hands were shaking so hard,” and “I just wanted to leave.” She also claimed that she “blacked out” during the encounter... Maher contended that Daniels’ testimony now has deviated from her original iteration of the alleged encounter. “She’s talking about ‘he was bigger and blocking the way.’ It’s...

Stormy Daniels may have blown the Democrats' last chance to see Donald Trump jailed before the election by portraying herself as a victim in bombshell testimony to his hush money trial, Bill Maher claimed. The HBO host unearthed footage of his 2018 interview with the former porn star in which she laughed off suggestions she was coerced into having sex during the alleged hook-up 12 years earlier. 'It is not a 'me-too' case,' she told Maher at the time, 'I wasn't assaulted, I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.'

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that President Joe Biden’s student loan plan is “my tax dollars” “supporting this Jew-hating” we’ve seen on college campuses after colleges jacked up tuitions. Maher said, “I’m so incensed about some of this stuff, because, when I read about the college loans…[the] Biden administration’s student debt cancellation will cost a combined 870 billion to 1.4 trillion. That’s a lot of debt forgiveness. Okay, so colleges constantly raise tuition, then the kids take out more loans, then the government comes by and pays those loans. Okay, so, my tax dollars...
