    The left-wing fanatics over at New York Magazine chose to use Earth Day to celebrate the budding legacy of George Soros’s “loyal parasite” son Alex Soros, the crown prince of his empire. “Alex, 39, is dressed in black leather boots, black pants, and a black turtleneck, a uniform that matches his pallid complexion, intense demeanor, and Ph.D. in European intellectual history,” fan-boyed the magazine’s features writer Simon van Zuylen-Wood in his 7,959-word Earth Day nonsense. Zuylen-Wood’s item tried to cast the radical extremist as being America’s savior from President Donald Trump, as was exemplified by his headline: “The New Soros:...

    A Florida woman was denied service at a Taco Bell because none of the workers spoke English. Apparently the Chalupa Supreme Combo doesn’t translate South-of-the-border. Alexandria Montgomery posted a video of the entire incident as it unfolded in the drive-thru of the Taco Bell in Hialeah. “Nobody here speaks English? Nobody in the back speaks English? So you can’t take my order,” Montgomery said. At one point another staffer intervened, but that individual claimed not to speak English, too. “She doesn’t want to help me because she don’t speak English. But you know the menu. You work here, so you...
  • HERE WE GO: Irate Democrats Plot to Force David Hogg to Resign as DNC Vice Chair After He Threatens to Oust His Own Party’s Incumbents

    Here we go! David Hogg has infuriated top Democrats, and they are now plotting to force him out as DNC Vice Chair. In February, the DNC elected David Hogg, 25, as Vice Chair – and Democrats immediately had buyer’s remorse as the ‘twerp’ began threatening to primary certain Dem lawmakers. Hogg has no experience in actually getting Democrats elected to office. He’s an online troll who is causing too much damage to the already ailing Democrat party, so now the Democrat leadership has the knives out for him. Last week, TGP reported that Hogg vowed to spend millions to unseat...

    CNN's Jake Tapper launched a scathing attack on CBS owner Shari Redstone for 'bending the knee' to Donald Trump on Tuesday, following the resignation of longtime 60 Minutes producer Bill Owens. Owens, 58, had been the executive producer of the CBS news magazine since 2019, but told staff in a memo on Tuesday that he has come to realize he is no longer able 'to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience' amid the president's $20 billion lawsuit against the network, the New York Times reports. Trump has claimed the network deceptively...

    Paramount’s pending Skydance merger and Trump’s “60 Minutes” lawsuit have created turmoil at a news division that’s already weathered plenty of changes The exit of “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens in the face of Trump administration pressure has roiled CBS News and alarmed journalists, fueling speculation about where the organization goes from here, especially if there are further concessions to clear the path to parent Paramount Global’s merger with Skydance Media. Although she refused to discuss the specific situation at “60 Minutes,” Paramount Chairman Shari Redstone didn’t help matters Tuesday night, when she told TheWrap at an event in...

    The non-executive chairwoman spoke with TheWrap at the premiere of the documentary “Children of October 7,” hours after “60 Minutes” EP Bill Owens quit the newsmagazine show Just hours after the surprise resignation of “60 Minutes” boss Bill Owens, Paramount Global non-executive chairwoman Shari Redstone described her views on the role of media in the current era, and what freedom of speech means. Speaking to TheWrap after the premiere of the documentary “Children of October 7,” Redstone said, “there is nothing controversial about telling the truth. There’s nothing controversial about getting the real story out there. And I think companies...

    Status obtained the audio of Tuesday’s stunning “60 Minutes” meeting where Bill Owens, fighting back tears, said he’s become “the corporation’s problem”—and made it clear he wasn’t leaving by choice. Late Tuesday morning, chatter started spreading through the halls of CBS News. A one o’clock meeting had suddenly been scheduled for the “60 Minutes” staff. It was short notice and there was no stated agenda. Alarm bells started to ring. By early afternoon, as producers and correspondents filed into a room on the 14th floor of the CBS Broadcast Center on Manhattan’s West Side, the tension was unmistakable. Anderson Cooper...

    President Donald Trump’s first 100 days haven’t even been completed yet and CNN is already whipping out "Great Depression" scare porn to describe the current stock market under his administration. No, you didn’t misread that. “We’re suddenly talking about the Great Depression when discussing Trump’s stock market,” read the insane April 22 headline of CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman’s latest anti-Trump flapdoodle. “Trump’s stock market is throwing off some jaw-dropping statistics. How extraordinary? We’re now making comparisons to the Great Depression,” he continued. Making freakishly outlandish claims seems to be a trend for Goldman, as he’s the same so-called...

    The Liberty Daily ^ | Floyd Buford, Daily Caller News Foundation
    Over the past two decades, a reclusive Swiss billionaire has poured more than $800 million into left-wing causes across America, and now states are fighting back. Hansjörg Wyss, 89, a Swiss national with an estimated net worth of roughly five billion dollars, has quietly become one of the most influential donors on the American left. He has spent more than $800 million bankrolling hundreds of left-wing causes across the United States, donating millions to climate change groups, abortion activists, and the Clinton Foundation. Information about him is sparse, but his sister once wrote that Wyss seeks to “(re)interpret the American...

    This week, investigative journalist Joel Gilbert revealed that his research discovered that New York Attorney General Letitia James committed mortgage fraud by making false statements on loan applications. In 2023 she claimed a property she purchased in Virginia as her primary residence. On another property loan in 1983 she claimed to be married to her father. These deceptions resulted in lower interest rates being granted. Needless to say, the AG of New York dioes not reside in Virginia and she and her father were not married to each other. While James did not directly refute the obvious deception of her...

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At 94 years old, leftist billionaire George Soros has established the blueprint for how his enormous Open Society Foundations, fueled with $32 billion of his fortune, will continue fulfilling his dark vision throughout the world under the leadership of his more extreme son Alex. Part of that vision involves using the ever-evolving specter of climate change as a springboard to impel the world towards a New World Order. The utopia that the elder Soros envisions is one that has banned fossil fuels, with everyday human existence regulated into oblivion. The COVID pandemic in 2020 provided what he called...

    Democrats are scrambling to craft new strategies to get back into power after their ignominious defeat in 2024. Folks on the left have finally decided to give up on identity politics and focus on solutions – okay, I can’t finish this sentence with a straight face. But I tried, and that should count for something, shouldn’t it, dear reader? The truth is, Democrats continue to show they have failed to learn their lessons after Republicans beat them like Mike Tyson whupped Peter McNeely in last year’s elections. Instead of looking inward and figuring out where they went wrong, the left...

    Former Secretary of the Treasury during Biden's presidency Janet Yellen called Trump's efforts to revitalize America's manufacturing capabilities "a pipe dream. Not only will it not happen, it's not even a desirable goal. America has entered a post-industrial phase. Generation Z quite sensibly rejects the idea of having to work for a living. We won't have the workforce needed to run complex industrial output in another 20 years." "In contrast, China has millions of workers willing to accept extraordinarily low wages," Yellen contended. "Why not let them do the work making products so Americans can concentrate on consuming them? China...
  • Patron Saint of 'Mother Earth'? TIME Mag Praises Lefty Pontiff As ‘The Climate Pope’

    Apparently the recently deceased Pope Francis is the patron saint of "Mother Earth." At least that’s what the climate Armageddon-obsessed TIME magazine is trying to argue. TIME senior correspondent and eco-doom prophet Justin Worland’s papal obit read like a cheap comic strip: “The Climate Pope: Francis and His Environmental Legacy,” Worland’s headline read, celebrating the leftist pope for his radical eco crusaderism. According to Worland’s twisted worldview, the first big “environmental move” the pope did upon ascending to the papacy was simply “choosing the papal name Francis after Saint Francis of Assi, known among other things for his appreciation of...

    Within the first months of his second administration, President Donald Trump has prioritized “unleashing” American energy and has already axed several of what he considers to be burdensome regulations on the coal industry, promising it’s “reinvigoration.” Trump signed an executive order on April 8 to revive the coal industry, and shortly after moved to exempt several coal plants from Biden-era regulations. Though it has become a primary target of many climate activists, coal has been historically regarded as readily available and affordable, and several energy policy experts who spoke with Daily Caller News Foundation believe Trump has the cards necessary...

    Can you imagine what would have happened if President Donald Trump 45 had the kind of people in his cabinet in the 2020 Summer of Love that he has now? I often think about this. When I hear of another of another Tesla bomber being busted by the feds, however, it gives us a pretty good idea of what those days might have been like. Trump didn’t make it to the White House in 2020. The overwhelming majority of those violent rioters who torched multiple U.S. cities, destroyed other peoples’ property, did billions of dollars in damage, and were responsible...

    By now, we all know that DEI isn’t about excellence. It’s not about merit. And it sure as heck isn’t about making anything better. DEI is a movement built on charity, not achievement—and it’s dragging America straight down with it. We’re watching the quality of nearly every major institution collapse under the weight of checked boxes and forced diversity quotas, all thanks to political correctness. The airline industry has become a very dangerous punchline. Under the Biden regime, the military was more about trans rights than military might. And now, even once-trusted names in medicine are trading in their reputations...
