'It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab,' she continued. 'It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months.' The victims' parents were less than satisfied with how the school district and Principal Georgina Aye handled the distressing case. 'I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls,' a parent said, calling the county's approach to the situation 'abysmal.' An undocumented migrant has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery after it was claimed that he was groping fellow students in...

CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward joined "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Wednesday night live from Iraq, where she accused the White House of demonstrating a "staggering lack of humility" with its handling of the war in Iran so far. Colbert asked Ward directly how she, as an on-the-ground journalist, felt about the White House's use of action movie clips and "Call of Duty" gameplay in a recent social media video covering the war in Iran. "As a journalist, I'm really not supposed to say this, but I feel deeply ashamed, and I think it belies a staggering lack of...

Actually, it’s easy to say. On Friday’s CNN This Morning, CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen claimed it was “hard to say” whether recent terror attacks have any connection to immigration. But the suspects’ backgrounds in four recent cases tell a very different story. [snip] "Calls for additional immigration constraints… as a practical matter when it comes to terrorism, it's not going to have any real effect.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes while planning the ongoing operation, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said. And now it may be weeks before the administration’s efforts to alleviate the intensifying economic fallout take hold, officials said Thursday, including high-risk naval escorts of oil tankers through the strait that the Pentagon...

Iran’s military has shown off its enormous supply of naval suicide drones, which it is using to blockade the crucial Strait of Hormuz, in chilling footage taken from its underground “missile city.” Footage from Iranian state media purportedly shows underground tunnels full of naval drones, anti-ship missiles, and sea mines, with dramatic footage also showing some of them being fired. Experts have analyzed the footage, released by Iranian state media outlet Fars, telling CNN exactly what is being shown off. The full terrifying array of armory on display includes: Abadil-2/3 “kamikaze” drones: Shown on rail launchers inside the tunnels, these...

"If you are feeling dumb today, just remember, there are real people who believe Iran is winning." —Cam Higby on "X". Terminally Depressed on CNN. You probably wonder what the end of this war will look like. It won’t look like V-J Day in Times Square, 1945, with sailors kissing girls they met five seconds ago. Our country is way too divided and disturbed with politically-inflected mental illness for love to bloom in the streets like it did then. If you happen to catch the glum crew on CNN you will detect that they really want this operation to fail...

Greg: All right, so this week CNN once again left the realm of news coverage for the magical land of make-believe. This time waving their wands over a terror attack, shouts of “Allahu Akbar,” and two suspects who said they did it to impress the goat-bangers at ISIS.Enough details for the story of the year, you would think, but not for Cincinnati. They decided the terror and mayhem wasn't the real story, and this was their tweet:“Two PA teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm...

President Donald Trump was gravitating toward endorsing Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn last week. But he and some top advisers grew frustrated after his intentions leaked to the press, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, and the plan stalled. Then Cornyn’s opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, announced on Friday that if the Senate passed the president’s voting restrictions bill — something Trump has grown particularly fixated on in recent weeks — he would consider dropping out of the runoff race. Paxton specified the GOP should lift the filibuster to do so, an idea many Republican senators oppose. White...

The Jan. 6 Select Committee's various improprieties and its prioritization of narrative over facts have been exposed. Nevertheless, key participants in the Democrat-led lawfare campaign have so far managed to evade consequence. That might soon change. House Republicans have reportedly referred Jan. 6 committee star witness Cassidy Hutchinson to the Department of Justice for criminal charges. A pair of sources reportedly familiar with recent developments told CNN that Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk (Ga.), the chairman of the Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6, 2021, recently made the referral, which was co-signed by House Judiciary Chairman Jim...

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Wednesday over why he was the only Senate Democrat who did not sign a letter pressing for an investigation into the strike on an elementary school in Iran. Fetterman joined The Source to discuss the ongoing U.S. military operation and his view of the war as it continues through its second week. Reporting on Monday claimed that the U.S. campaign in Iran was responsible for a strike on a girls’ elementary school that killed 175 people, most of whom were children. In a letter addressed to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,...

Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review.

The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now. These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?” The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated. There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about...

Give me a phone and a list of registered Democrats, and I’ll find you one who thinks Donald Trump's the greatest thing since sliced bread — and Gavin Newsom is the devil incarnate. That’s essentially the level of polling rigor Audie Cornish brought to Tuesday’s edition of CNN This Morning. Discussing issues ahead of the State of the Union address, Cornish said: “We called up one of the people we polled, a Republican voter, Sean from New Mexico. He said: ‘I think people were expecting Trump to provide a bit of relief to their suffering. Grocery prices are just through...

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, the “Group Chat” sounded less like analysis and more like a Democratic messaging session. Discussing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s claim that the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0,” CNN senior reporter Zach Wolf wasn’t troubled by the incendiary historical comparison. Instead, he fretted that Democratic Senator John Fetterman had gone “off message” by refusing to echo it. Is the CNN motto still "Facts First"? Or is it "Keeping the Democrats On Message"? Fetterman said: “I would never refer to the SAVE Act as Jim Crow 2.0 I don't call people names or imply that...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” host Anderson Cooper said that, after the drawdown of immigration officers in Minnesota, there are “thousands” of officers “who probably couldn’t make it on a police force, probably couldn’t make it in the military. Some of them, obviously, have been serving for a long time, but some of them have 47 days of training because of the 47th president.”

The liberal nepo baby son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones is 'too spooked' to return to CNN after he was eviscerated by Scott Jennings last year, insiders say. Dylan Douglas, 26, an actor and political radio host, was reportedly left so upset by his on-air confrontation with Jennings that he is 'done with tough interviews', according to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter's Substack. Shuter cited sources close to Douglas that say he has made it 'crystal clear' he is done with all hostile interviews, including CNN and 'any outlet where a host might dare to challenge him.'

Popular conservative on liberal news network continues exposing leftist viewers to reality!Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is on a roll this week, destroying a trio of liberals as he promotes President Donald Trump’s America First agenda from within the belly of the mainstream media beast. On Tuesday, during a panel discussion featuring Parkland High School shooting survivor-turned anti-2nd Amendment activist Cameron Kasky, Jennings called out his colleagues for allowing the young March For Our Lives co-founder to accuse President Trump of being “part of” a “human sex trafficking network.” “You gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked after Kasky made the...

Chris Cuomo warns CNN’s Scott Jennings over his refusal to stop using the term ‘illegals’: ‘Don’t be a tough guy’ NewsNation host Chris Cuomo warned CNN analyst Scott Jennings Wednesday that if he keeps using the term “illegal aliens,” somebody might beat him up. Cuomo accused Jennings of acting like a “bully” and a “tough guy” when he dismissed activist Cameron Kasky’s assertion that “you don’t get to say the word illegals anymore,” during a recent CNN panel. Jennings refused to stop using the term and repeatedly asked Kasky, “How are you going to enforce your edict on me?” “What...

It has been a wild day on Twitter. (Or X, if you prefer.) After President Trump ordered the overnight strike in Venezuela, and US Delta Force operators captured and extracted dictator Nicolas Maduro, the social media platform has been a whirlwind of activity. From Venezuelans singing and dancing in celebration to leftists in America crying because one of their favorite world leaders had been taken out, we've frantically been trying to keep up with all of the reactions -- the good, the bad, and the extremely ugly. But amid all the furor, our favorite CNN commentator (and Salem Media radio...

VIDEOHappy New Year to everybody! The year 2025 is ending on a very high note especially since I found out that Scott Jennings must be viewer of the DUmmie FUnnies. How do I know this? Because on December 30 Scott caused yet another meltdown among the liberal CNN crew by mentioning that the Lt. Governor of Minnesota by wearing a hijab was dressed up like the "Handmaid's Tale." Before that very apt observation no other media outlet or figure made that comparison EXCEPT for the DUmmie FUnnies three days earlier on December 27 with a video on this very topic...
