Hunter Biden has revealed he once angrily confronted CNN’s Jake Tapper and told him to “go *&*&” himself for hounding him over his brother Beau Biden’s death. The disgraced former first son gave a rare interview to confirm his long-running feud with Tapper after the lefty anchor denied hounding him. “It would be impossible to forget or misremember something that upsetting and out of line during one of the toughest moments of my life,” Hunter, 55, told Breaker on Wednesday. “It happened. I was furious.” The saga is said to have unfolded when Tapper repeatedly called Hunter as his brother...

Left-wing actor John Leguizamo, star of John Wick and Disney’s Encanto, recorded a series of videos for his fans and followers of himself reading a political manifesto called Project 2029, he says was written by Liz Cheney, as a path forward for democrats after their defeat last November. “This is from Liz Cheney. She had to do it, because, well, dear Democratic Party: I need more form you. You keep sending emails, begging for $15, while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time,” Leguizamo began in a video posted to the leftist echo chamber Bluesky on Thursday. Liz Cheney...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday that his state would due the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over cuts to the federal AmeriCorps volunteer program. AmeriCorps was established by President Bill Clinton to provide volunteer opportunities on American soil (the Peace Corps, established under President John F. Kennedy, focuses on volunteer service abroad). Elon Musk’s DOGE made cuts to the program this week, after half of AmeriCorps’ 600 employees had already accepted a voluntary severance package. Many volunteers across the nation were also let go from the agency.

The Biden administration’s “climate envoy,” John Kerry, claimed that the United States was “on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency.” During a forum hosted by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics last week, when asked what people who care about the climate and are concerned about the future “should be doing,” Kerry stated that people needed to “start focusing” on the arguments that went with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition. Kerry added that there were “seven million people” who were dying each year due to poor air quality.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she did not have “faith” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will certify the 2024 presidential election. Moderator Kristen Welker said, “President Biden said he does not know if there will be a peaceful transfer of power in 2025. You just heard how the House Speaker answered my question about how he would certify the election results. Do you have faith that the election will be free and fair and there will be a peaceful transfer of power.”

Wild video shows an 8-year-old Ohio girl swerving her family’s SUV across lanes on a 25-minute joyride to go shopping in Target. Dashcam footage released Wednesday shows alarmed motorist Justin Kimery calling 911 on Sunday, assuming it was an adult driving dangerously in a 2020 Nissan Rogue, WSAZ reported. “There’s a guy in a car, he’s like right behind me. He’s swerving all over, he’s swerving everywhere like in all the lanes,” Kimery said — not realizing at first it was a young girl behind the wheel. Kimery keeps up with the swerving SUV for several minutes, at one point...

Biden megadonor John Morgan believes Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris as a "**&* you to all who pushed him out.” “Be careful what you wish for,” he added to Harris supporters. The thinking goes that former President Barry Obama wanted an open primary and had his eye on Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) as the nominee. Harris, Obama apparently believes, is too far to the left to defeat Donald Trump. Kelly is a white guy from a crucial swing state without all the extreme baggage CacklyMcNeverBorderCzar carries with her. But. Biden is furious at being forced out of the race, so...

The Oakland City Council adopted a resolution Monday night demanding a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas — while rejecting amendments condemning Hamas for terrorism against civilians. The resolution acknowledges that “over one thousand people in Israel” have been killed (the number is closer to 1,200), and claims that “more than eleven thousand Palestinians in Gaza” were killed, apparently citing Hamas statistics that do not distinguish between terrorist combatants and civilians.

Academy Award nominee Sharon Stone is alleging she was sexually harassed by a former head of Sony Studios back in the 1980s before she became a superstar. Stone shared her accusations during an appearance on November 7 episode of SiriusXM’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera” with host Kelly Ripa, according to The Wrap. The 65-year-old Basic Instinct star did not name any names in the interview, but it is not the first time she has hinted about her #MeToo experience.

An explicit recruitment advert targeting women for the Ukrainian Army is Russian propaganda and not an official video, Kyiv have said in a statement. A short video linking to the recruitment website for the Armed Forces of Ukraine showing by turns a woman in lingerie, a woman caring for a small child, and a woman preparing for battle has been flagged by an official statement from the Ukrainian government as a fake. Kyiv’s government news outlet Ukrinform picks apart the video, noting it is stitched together from generic stock clips found elsewhere on the internet, and that the video has...
