Abdul El-Sayed, Rep Ro Khanna, and Michigan lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist are all slated to appear at ArabConA trio of rising Democratic Party stars are slated to speak at an anti-Israel convention this week alongside a deep roster of Hamas sympathizers and anti-Semites. Michigan Senate candidate and former CNN contributor Abdul El-Sayed (D.), Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.), and Michigan lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist (D.) are listed in the lineup for ArabCon, an event hosted by the American-Arab Discrimination Committee (ADC) in Dearborn, Mich., a majority-Muslim town dubbed "America’s Jihad Capital" because so many of its city and religious leaders...

President Donald Trump has introduced a “Presidential Walk of Fame” along a noticeable walkway outside the West Wing of the White House. “The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade,” special assistant to the president and communications adviser Margo Martin wrote in a post on X on Wednesday, with a video in which black-and-white portraits of presidents in gold frames can be seen along the colonnade. The image selected for one former president, however, stands out: President Joe Biden, who instead of a portrait is represented by a photo of an autopen.

CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: "How the right blames George Soros for just about everything." CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance...

Another day, another perfectly sane and rational reaction from Keith Olbermann. (Sarcasm intended.) Less than two weeks after Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered by a radical leftist, ol' Keith figured now would be a good time to smooth things over by threatening another conservative media personality. But, as reported by the New York Post, this isn't unusual territory for Olbermann: Olbermann faced criticism last week for his reaction to ABC affiliate Sinclair's decision to air a remembrance for Kirk over Kimmel's show, an announcement made before the comedian was suspended. Olbermann's lovely social media post that time: Yeah. He's a...

Liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann deleted a social media post Monday in which he appeared to threaten conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings. “You’re next -------–---,” read Olbermann’s deleted X post, according to a screenshot shared by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage “But keep mugging to the camera,” the former MSNBC and ESPN host added, in another deleted tweet, according to the grabs Jennings retweeted from Grage while tagging FBI Director Kash Patel.

CNN shared a new survey that crushes the narrative that Americans are not happy with the moves by President Donald Trump's administration when it comes to policies on things like crime, the economy, and immigration. In a video posted on X on Monday by our sister site Townhall.com, CNN's data guy Harry Enten had to ask what the heck the Democrats are doing, and the answer is their obstructionist agenda is crushing them, resulting in a massive lead for the Republican party when it comes to MORE: Oh My: Dem Approval Just Hit New All-Time Low Enten pointed out that...

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten expressed surprise on Monday at how closely Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trails behind Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2028 polls. Newsom leads the pack with 21% among registered voters who are Democrats or Democratic-leaning Independents, while Ocasio-Cortez is in third place with 12%, according to a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2. Enten, on “CNN News Central,” noted that Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lagged significantly more against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2014.

George Soros has been the go-to bogeyman for the American right — and right-wing leaders around the world — for years. The 95-year-old billionaire has funneled money into causes around the globe, supporting democratic endeavors, immigration efforts and criminal justice reform through his Open Society Foundations, which he founded in 1979. In the intervening decades, Soros, with his large network of progressive causes and opposition to strong-arm governments, has become the target of conspiracy theories in areas that range from Malaysia to his birth country of Hungary, where a so-called “Stop Soros” law made it illegal to aid undocumented immigrants...

In the context of a discussion of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show and related matters, today's CNN This Morning aired a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman [D-ActBlue Jeans] calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss."Meghan Hays, a former Biden aide and a CNN analyst, agreed with Goldman, then proceeded to claim: "We are running dangerously close to state-run media . . . We are losing our democracy. They're dismantling democracy by doing this." Accusing Trump of creating a "state-run media?" That's something of a new line of attack. And a laugh line at that. Even without the likes of...

Dave Chappelle on SNL, November 2022 in response to the Kanye "jew" controversy at the time.

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania proves yet again to be the voice of sanity and reason in the Democratic Party, criticizing them in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. He has called on his party to stop calling President Trump "Hitler" and an "autocrat." On Wednesday, before it was confirmed that Charlie had died from the shot, Fetterman noted to CNN's Manu Raju that just a day before the assassination, people were protesting President Trump and calling him the "Hitler of our time." Senator Fetterman condemned the characterization and said that the Democrats must "turn the temperature down." "I...

VIDEOCongressman Seth Moulton (D-eflection) had a reputation for supposedly being a "moderate." Well, he just tore down that "moderate" appellation and revealed himself as a pathetic Charlie Kirk assassination deflection monger by flat out LYING about who is responsible for the vast majority of the political violence in America. Oh, and now he is whining about people calling him out for his LIES.

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has a warning for his party: learn from the politically charged whirlwind that put Donald Trump back in the White House and secured Republicans control of both chambers of Congress or risk staying in the minority. “They have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost in 2024,” Fetterman said of his fellow Democrats in a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on “Inside Politics Sunday.” The Pennsylvania Democrat, who was first elected by just a five-point margin in 2022, said some of the party’s more left-wing views were “weaponized” against Democrats last fall. “Some people...

Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday, pioneered a new model for conservative political advocacy, merging multi-platform media commentary with in-person gatherings and get-out-the-vote drives. Kirk, 31, was a hugely successful political field organizer, TikTok influencer, radio host, nonprofit leader and public speaker all rolled up in one telegenic figure. One minute, Kirk would be on Fox News promoting his friend President Trump’s agenda; the next, he would be on X or Instagram, inviting young people to start conservative groups at their high schools and college campuses. With Turning Point USA, the nonprofit he co-founded in 2012 at...

Every time you think CNN can’t drop any lower, somehow, they manage to do it. In the case of the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, CNN’s Brian Stelter seems to think that the real tragedy in this situation is racism, specifically, the racism of Trump supporters for noticing this crime. This is a new low for him, which is really saying something. Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

The politicization of science has spiraled completely out of control. From climate alarmism to gender ideology, there’s no shortage of reasons to question the so-called “experts.” That reality was on full display this week on CNN’s Newsnight. Host Abby Phillip played a clip of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussing the poor state of children’s health today — a moment the leftist panelists gleefully mocked. But the real fireworks came when Republican strategist Scott Jennings, badly outnumbered, cut through the noise. Things turned explosive the moment he stated the obvious: any scientist who claims men can...

When Israel arrested 24-year-old Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi for inciting terrorism in 2023, mainstream media outlets described her as a modern-day Gandhi. The New York Times hailed Tamimi as an "international symbol of Palestinian resistance." Reuters claimed her protests of "Israeli land seizures" had made her "a hero since she was a teenager." Even before her arrest, CNN called her a "fearless teen" who suffered the horrors of "living under Israeli military occupation." What those outlets have not reported, among other things, is Tamimi’s praise for Adolf Hitler, promises to drink the blood of Jews, and declarations that she is...

Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer. “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.” “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. “Forget about thoughts and prayers,” echoed CNN host Dana...

Speaking with former CNN host Christ Cuomo on his “The Chris Cuomo Podcast,” veteran journalist Matt Taibbi commented on the “treasonous conspiracy” that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and others in the Trump Administration have exposed, saying that arrests of those Obama officials involved could be coming. As background, Matt Taibbi is a longtime journalist who first rose to prominence for his reporting on Goldman Sachs’s involvement in the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, exposing the investment bank as a “vampire squid.” He then gained notoriety with his skeptical reporting regarding the “Russiagate” scandal, being one of the few leading...

CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired less than a month on the job. CNN and The Washington Post and The Hill confirmed Dr. Monarez has been ousted. Details of Monarez’s departure from the CDC are not immediately available. The Hill reported: Susan Monarez, the longtime government scientist recently confirmed as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has been let go from her position after less than a month in the role. A source familiar with the situation confirmed to The Hill that Monarez is ousted as CDC director. The Senate confirmed her on July 29. The...
