Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has welcomed former CNN anchor Don Lemon to “a new world” of journalism on X, the platform once known as Twitter. Carlson’s welcome to Lemon comes after the ex-CNN anchor announced Tuesday that he is launching The Don Lemon Show through his own media company and that it will be available on X. Lemon’s announcement comes after Carlson launched his own show on X, of which he has released over 60 episodes since mid-2023. “Congratulations,” Carlson wrote in sharing Lemon’s post. “It’s a new world. Welcome.” The welcoming statement from Carlson comes after both...

Pfizer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week failed to directly address questions by two media outlets about whether Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine is available in the U.S. [This is the core legal issue concerning government and employer vaccine mandates.]

How can that be? Those two trends in CNN polling would appear to be at least somewhat contradictory, but that neglects the impact of the magic elixir of American politics — partisanship. For the first time in CNN’s series on impeachment, support for Donald Trump’s removal from office has hit 50%, at the same time his approval rating has jumped to its highest level since June: Half of Americans say President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, a new high in CNN polling on the topic and...

Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago. “I think this is...

Americans just celebrated the birth of Christ 2,000 years ago. What we are celebrating a lot less these days is the birth of our own babies. In short, America’s fertility rate is in a free fall. Over a 60-year period between 1957 and 2017, fertility rates in the United States plummeted. About 11 percent fewer babies were born in America in 2017 (3,853,472) than in 1957 (4,316,233.)

In the brilliant movie, "Idiocracy," centuries have passed and America is so dumbed down that a prostitute and a mediocre desk grunt are the smartest people in the world. The President is a pro wrestler and there's no more Congress. It's now the "House of Representin'." Well, apparently, we need not go to Hollywood make-believe or even the remote year 2500. Because the U.S. Census Bureau is already deigning to act like the House of Representin' in 2010 Yup, it's almost that time again. In about a year and a half, the U.S. Census will be taken. Illegal aliens will...
