Kayleigh McEnany walked away from a press briefing where she lashed out at the media for their failure to cover the Hunter Biden scandal, leaving CNN’s Jim Acosta to shout one last lonely, attention-seeking question accusing her of disinformation. The White House Press Secretary addressed the mainstream media’s refusal to cover a scandal that could have swayed the election, blasted them for suppressing information to the American people, and hammering their effort to create a campaign of confusion by alleging it was simply ‘Russian disinformation’ all along. We’ve covered extensively how the mainstream media essentially worked on behalf of the...

The ‘Squad’s’ newest member Cori Bush is demanding President-elect Joe Biden move to grant clemency to everybody currently sitting on death row. Bush’s view shows once again that there isn’t any level of criminal the group won’t embrace. The Missouri Democrat made her views clear in an op-ed with Time Magazine on Monday. “If [Biden] truly opposes the death penalty,” she wrote, “he must do everything in his power to stop it for good. Granting clemency to all on federal death row is his most effective tool.” Bush went on to describe the death penalty as “murder in the name...

A group of over two dozen black ministers has signed a letter expressing strong criticism of Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock over his support for abortion. Warnock is headed for a January runoff election against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler. “Unborn Black, Brown and White lives are so much more than clumps of cells, burdensome inconveniences, or health problems,” the ministers wrote to the radical Democrat, who is also a reverend. “They are sacred human persons endowed by God with inalienable dignity and worth,” the letter continues. “We implore you to uphold the Biblical defense of life and to fight against...

Bill Gates expressed support for shutting down bars and restaurants for up to six months and indicated lockdowns may continue all the way into 2022. The billionaire Microsoft founder made his sobering warning during an interview with CNN over the weekend. “Well, sadly, the next four to six months could be the worst of the epidemic,” he told anchor Jake Tapper in discussing lockdowns and his support for extreme restrictions such as stay-at-home orders issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Bars and restaurants in most of the country will be closed as we go into this wave, and I think...

A look at the media’s attempts to ‘fact-check’ President Trump’s predictions on the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine shows exactly why journalism is a dying industry. The country’s first Covid-19 vaccines were administered on Monday. President Trump predicted as much prior to the election. The President predicted this day would come in historically record time. “We’re looking to get it by the end of the year if we can, maybe before,” Trump said at a White House event in May. “Vaccine work is looking VERY promising, before end of year,” he tweeted as well. Not wanting the President to celebrate...

A former aide to Andrew Cuomo accused the New York Governor of sexual harassment, saying it took place over many years while she worked in his administration. Lindsey Boylan, who is now running for Manhattan borough president, alleged that the Democrat governor “harassed” her over her looks and criticized her performance, which she says was due to her gender. “Yes, [Andrew Cuomo] sexually harassed me for years,” Boylan wrote in a multiple tweet statement. “Many saw it, and watched.” ...

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner scolded Marie Harf after the liberal pundit took a shot at the talk show Outnumbered for not hyping COVID death numbers to what she views as an acceptable level. Harf began by running defense for Democrats engaged in stifling, Draconian, and unconstitutional lockdown orders as a means to combating the pandemic. Justifying those edicts, in her view, is the death toll from the virus. “Yeah, I mean, we are 43 minutes into the show and we haven’t mentioned the 3,000 Americans that died yesterday, more than on 9/11 and every day for a while we...

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard is making news on two fronts, introducing a ‘born alive’ amendment that protects infants who survive abortion, and bringing forth legislation that would prevent biological males from competing in women’s sports. Gabbard, a former candidate for President, is sure to ruffle some feathers within her own party on both matters. Her first effort regarding infants would amend U.S. criminal code “to ensure a health care practitioner exercises the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.” It seems like common sense to administer medical care to a child...

A video montage produced by the Media Research Center (MRC) shows just how desperate the mainstream media was in trying to cover up the Hunter Biden scandal. MRC put the video supercut together one week before the election as a means to highlight how the media was lying about there being “no evidence” that the former Vice President and his son “had done anything wrong.” Over a month later, it has been revealed that Hunter is the subject of a federal investigation into his “tax affairs” that began in 2018, a year before Biden announced his campaign for the presidency....

Biden’s remarks came speaking at a virtual meeting between him, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and several prominent civil rights leaders. ... The reality here is that Biden doesn’t want Democrats to stop talking about the push to “defund the police” specifically, he would just rather they keep it quiet until after the Georgia Senate runoffs. In other words, he...

Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister for China, celebrated the presumed return of former vice president Joe Biden to the White House by saying it marked a “return to the right track.” Speaking to the board of the US-China Business Council (USCBC), the representative of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revealed his goal of improving relations with the United States. That goal would require the removal of barriers put in place to smooth dialogue. The hard-line stance of the Trump administration, for instance. ... “Based on the direction of mutual benefits for our two peoples and countries,” he continued, “we need...

Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh believes the political landscape in America makes it possible that the nation is “trending toward secession.” Limbaugh, a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, made the observation during a broadcast of his show on Wednesday. A question was posed by his producer wondering if Republicans would ever be able to win elections again if they’re not able to make headway in strongly blue cities and states. ... Those quotes involve “bloggers” who Limbaugh has observed writing extensively that “there cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of...

AOC gave a “shout out” to her “fellow radicals” on Instagram this week while preparing a meal from Whole Foods in a $58 shirt saying ‘tax the rich.’ Ocasio-Cortez: “Shoutout to my fellow radicals in the United States who believe crazy things like a full-time job should be enough for you to live and believe in crazy radical things like if you kill someone there shouldn’t be impunity. And also who believe really crazy radical things like you should get a stimulus check without having to bail out a corporation for it. Or that you should get a stimulus check...
