    The British government’s plans to hand control of the strategically significant Chagos Islands to Mauritius are set to be signed off on Thursday, after an 11th-hour legal injunction failed to stop an effort that has been intensely controversial in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Prime Minister Keir Starmer intends to return the islands to the African country, while maintaining control of the US-UK Diego Garcia military base, and the deal is expected be finalized on Thursday. It comes after a High Court judge briefly blocked the move in a ruling made at 2 a.m. local time (9...

    CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo claimed Wednesday on “News Central” that President Donald Trump repeated the talking points of “white supremacists in South Africa.” Madowo said, “As the South African AG minister mentioned, they have a rural safety problem that affects both black and white farmers, and white farmers are unhappy about their security. If 1000 white farmers died in south Africa, it would be impossible to hide that.” He added, “President Ramaphosa brought his most diplomatic self. He is a skilled negotiator who once held brief for Nelson Mandela, but nothing could have prepared him for this multimedia ambush....
  • Biden Spox Discloses New Information on Joe Biden’s Last Test for Prostate Cancer After Trump Questions Why Diagnosis Wasn’t Revealed Earlier… and CNN Isn’t Even Buying It

    On Tuesday a Biden spokesperson claimed Joe Biden’s last underwent a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test, a common way to detect prostate cancer, back in 2014. “President Biden’s last known PSA was in 2014. Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer,” a Biden spox said on Tuesday afternoon. Even CNN isn’t buying it. “He was President of the United States and didn’t get tested? I find this very surprising,” a CNN anchor said in disbelief.
  • Begala: Democrats’ Credibility Isn’t Hurt at All by Biden Decline, They Were ‘Hoping That He Was Doing Fine’

    On Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” CNN Contributor and Democratic strategist Paul Begala said that the revelations about then-President Joe Biden’s mental fitness don’t impact the credibility of the Democratic Party at all and “I don’t think any Democrat who’s going to be facing voters in the midterms was at all complicit.” And there were “a whole bunch of politicians who understandably were rooting for him and hoping that he was doing fine, but they didn’t know.”Co-host Mary Louise Kelly asked, “What does this mean to your party’s ability to hold President Trump, his administration, and Republicans accountable...

    Eleven minutes into the June 27 presidential debate, CNN anchor Dana Bash slipped a note to her colleague Jake Tapper after President Biden gave a rambling, incoherent answer. "He just lost the election," she wrote The event at the network's Atlanta studios — recounted in Tapper's and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" — turned out to be the most consequential presidential debate in history

    CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House. “The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday. “We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday. “Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

    On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) responded to questions on if she saw signs of President Joe Biden’s decline by saying that she didn’t see Biden that often and she “can’t speak to that directly.” Co-host Pamela Brown asked, “You were a co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign. You stuck with Biden until he dropped out of the race. Given your position in the campaign, what signs of decline did you notice?” Whitmer responded, “I have not read the book. I can tell you this, that, if, as the book reports, Cabinet members didn’t have...

    Ed Martin, who left his position this week as the top federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, to take another job within the Justice Department because his chances of being confirmed to the post were dwindling, is facing an ethics probe, according to a letter reviewed by CNN. Martin told his entire staff on his last day as interim US attorney, that he is under investigation by the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which investigates claims of misconduct against attorneys.

    EX-DNC fundraiser can’t believe the topic of Tapper’s book A prominent former fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) blasted CNN’s Jake Tapper’s upcoming book as "a slap in the face" to people who were scolded for questioning former President Biden’s fitness for office. Lindy Li, a well-known fundraiser who raised money for the Democrats' 2024 presidential campaign, announced her exit from the party in December after being ostracized for criticizing then-Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. She was a loyal supporter of President Biden until she called for him to step aside because he was too old to...

    More video has been uncovered of CNN’s Jake Tapper actively engaging in the conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. The backlash against CNN’s Jake Tapper and the bubbled arrogance that led him to write a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden’s obvious unfitness to be president has been both fierce and glorious. Tapper must think it’s still 2013, a time when the regime media’s snooty hubris could power them through any hypocrisy. Well, those days are over. Social Media and New Media are both blistering Tapper with multiple exhibits proving he actively engaged in covering...

    The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 election, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson decided to co-author a book about what had led the Democratic party to defeat, with a focus on former President Joe Biden. The deeply sourced reporters found what they call a “cover-up” of the former president’s “serious decline.” The resulting book, titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” is coming out on May 20. The book’s publisher, Penguin Press, announced the project on Wednesday. “What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run...

    CNN's Jake Tapper warned on Monday that the country was about to enter an "era of deepfakes and all sorts of disinformation" under President Trump, while discussing the Big Tech presence at his inauguration. "We‘re about to enter an era of deepfakes, and all sorts of misinformation and the degree to which those five gentlemen play a role or do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms of where the American people are four years from now, in terms of understanding what is true and what is false," Tapper said before Trump took the oath of office.

    Every once in a while, we're given a reminder of why we wake up every day. A Florida jury on Friday found CNN liable for defaming a Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the US military withdrew from the country in 2021. The six-person jury said CNN had to pay damages totaling $5 million. There will be a second phase of the trial to determine any punitive damages. The verdict followed a two-week trial in Panama City, Fla., state court.

    The Washington Free Beacon ^ | January 3rd 2025 | Chuck Ross
    CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s jabs at Fox News could come back to bite the network in an upcoming defamation trial over a segment in which Tapper's show falsely accused a Navy veteran of preying on Afghan nationals fleeing the country after the Taliban’s takeover in 2021. A judge in Florida ruled Thursday in favor of Zachary Young, who accuses Tapper and CNN of falsely portraying him as an "illegal profiteer" of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan, allowing Young to use Tapper's disparagement of Fox News in November 2023 at trial. Back then, Tapper referred to Fox News as a "cancer on...

    We previously discussed the defamation lawsuit brought by Navy veteran Zachary Young against CNN and anchor Jake Tapper. Young has been doing well in court and last week he won on additional major issues against CNN. In a pair of orders, the jury will be allowed to award punitive damages and his experts would be allowed to be heard by the jury on the damages in the case. It also found that the Navy veteran was not a public figure and thus is not subject to the higher standard of proof associated with that status. The punitive damages decision is...

    This is Jake Tapper and The New Yorker we're talking about, but if half of this report is true, then holy moly. On Tuesday, The New Yorker published an excerpt from the CNN host's new book, and it's a doozy. Here's the part where Joe Biden didn't remember mega-famous actor George Clooney, a man he'd met numerous times before. I remember being told that I was a domestic extremist who peddles in harmful disinformation if I suggested that a dementia patient was running the country. I’ve been right so many times these past several, maybe even 10 years to the...

    resident Joe Biden struggled in practice debates ahead of his disastrous showing against Donald Trump last year — leaving his advisers with little option but to cross their fingers and hope he would be a “game-day performer,” a new book about the collapse of the Democratic administration reveals. Biden’s advisers “blocked out substantial time to prep over several days” at the presidential retreat at Camp David in rural Maryland in June 2024. When the president turned up after a trip to Europe to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day and attend a G7 summit, he was “rusty and exhausted,” according...
