🚨NEW: CNN's Michael Smerconish *CASTS DOUBT* on WSJ Trump-Epstein letter🚨 "It's hard to believe that the president would have written the imaginary conversation between himself and Epstein 22 years ago. I mean, listen to some of the back and forth." "That doesn't sound like something Donald Trump would write." @DailyCaller

On Thursday, CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings, left, refused to let a comment about the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, slide - attacking Touré Neblett, right, for saying Trump was "supposedly" shot in the ear. Former MSNBC host Touré caused an uproar on CNN this week when he said that Trump was ‘supposedly’ shot in the ear during a segment on the CNN News Night panel show. He was immediately called out by Scott Jennings, the lone conservative voice on the network. This moment is a reminder that there are people on the left who actually believe the assassination...

A new study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) alleges that major U.S. and European news outlets served as uncritical megaphones for Hamas-linked narratives during the war with Israel in Gaza, amplifying claims that ultimately undermined a U.S.-backed food relief operation while shielding the terrorist group from scrutiny. The 102-page report, titled "The 4th Estate Sale: How American and European Media Became an Uncritical Mouthpiece for a Designated Foreign Terror Organization" concludes that outlets including MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post, and Reuters published or promoted unverified claims sourced from the Gaza Health Ministry without disclosing that it is controlled...

U.S. — CNN took time out of its broadcast today to mark the one-year anniversary of the time President Trump fell over at a rally after some loud popping noises. "The nation will always remember the startling images of Trump falling over and hitting his ear," said Anderson Cooper. "The big oaf just tumbled over, surprised as he was by some innocuous popping sounds. While we have never confirmed what the noises were, or how Trump got a cut on his ear, the day will go down in history nonetheless." CNN displayed several iconic images that came out of that...

Kash Patel is NOT resigning from his post at the FBI — unless the President himself removes him, according to new reports. Earlier Friday, rumors exploded across social media, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel might join FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in stepping down after growing friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi. Dan Bongino reportedly took a day off following a heated confrontation with Bondi over her suppression of critical evidence tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to CNN and The Daily Wire, Bongino has told confidants he is strongly considering resigning if Bondi remains at the DOJ....

"This is, unfortunately, a very sad and tragic example of the continued politicization of the intelligence community, of the national security process, and quite frankly, I'm really shocked that individuals who are willing to sacrifice their reputations, their credibility, their decency . . . on something that clearly is just politically based."Wow! Who would ever expect CNN to air such a stunning denunciation of the actions of John Brennan and James Comey in fostering the fake story of Trump's supposed Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign? Oh, wait. That wasn't a denunciation of Brennan and Comey. The quote was by...

Donald Trump told a private gathering of donors last year that he once sought to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow” in retaliation, according to audio provided to CNN. “With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump said during one 2024 fundraiser, according to the audio. “And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 10%.” The remarks, which came as Trump made his case for a...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper says the Epstein case is NOT closed and there’s a trove of evidence being hidden from the public. He then demands it all be released: “There's a trove of information that the Trump administration is right now refusing to share, information that could well point to the powerful folks who availed themselves of the sex trafficking victims of Jeffrey Epstein.” “So, while there may not be an official client list to be released.. There's a lot of extra information that is not being made public.. This isn't going to go away. The public…...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that Congress has a “responsibility” to look into whether the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service affected the amount of deviation of the deadly central Texas floods. Co-host Kate Bolduan said, “To is these deadly floods in Texas as these the search continues for the missing there are big questions being raised about the warnings that happened and the impacts also of cuts to — that the Trump administration had made to the National Weather Service.” Swalwell said, “I do think as lawmakers, we have a responsibility to...

he Supreme Court on Tuesday backed President Donald Trump’s effort to carry out mass firings and reorganizations at federal agencies, putting on hold a lower court order that had temporarily blocked the president from taking those steps without approval from Congress. In an unsigned order, the high court said that lower courts had stopped the plans based on the administration’s general goals, rather than specific agency “reduction in force” efforts to drastically cut government employees. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a member of the court’s liberal wing, dissented. The case stems from an executive order Trump signed in mid-February that kicked...

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now Germany’s largest opposition group and even topped several opinion polls – briefly putting it ahead of now-Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s center-right party – in the weeks after February’s federal election. At the same time, the AfD is facing growing calls for an outright ban, most recently from another major political party. In May, the country’s domestic intelligence agency formally classified the AfD as an extremist entity that threatens democracy. In a 1,100-page report, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, also laid out its findings that the party was...

Love Tim Burchett, fund him. Be proud Tennessee.Burchett in control of CNN.

CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers asked why people aren’t investigating the Trump family’s citizenship status while discussing the White House’s ongoing deportation efforts on Tuesday. *** The panel referenced a recent memo from the Justice Department dated June 11 that directed U.S. attorneys to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings” as part of an effort by the Trump administration to crack down on crime. *** “Look, if we want to have a conversation about who belongs where, when, how, and whether or not their citizenship status- and we want to look at everything, I mean, I would look at Donald...

On Thursday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish gave a platform to left-wing actor and gay rights activist George Takei to promote his new "graphic memoir" "It Rhymes With Takei" [spoiler alert: gay]. Cornish teed up Takei to equate Trump's deportation of illegal immigrants with FDR's internment of Japanese Americans during World War II (he and his family were interned). Takei said both were based on "lies" and "hysteria" and are "completely anti-American." Of course, there is a vast difference that Cornish and Takei chose to ignore. FDR interned Japanese AMERICAN CITIZENS. People who were either born here or were...

For almost a decade now, the Left’s favorite insult has been to call Donald Trump an idiot. They toss it around like it’s some kind of magic word that automatically disqualifies him from being taken seriously. Not only is it juvenile, it’s also lazy, smug, and totally out of touch. This is what happens when people are so blinded by hate that they can’t even see what’s right in front of them. It’s easier for them to dismiss Trump as “dumb” than to admit they underestimated a guy who just keeps winning in court, in the polls, and in the...

Just when you think CNN’s Jake Tapper can’t become an even bigger media hack than he already is, he finds a way to prove you wrong. The latest incident of the network host’s shoddy conduct as a so-called “journalist” came on Friday during his interview with New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Among the topics covered during the exchange was the Big Apple’s upcoming mayoral contest, which will pit Adams against the newly nominated Democrat candidate, radical socialist Zohran Mamdani. When the conversation shifted to the race against Mamdani, Tapper — whose network a jury found is actually fake news...

The White House is looking into possible criminal charges against CNN after it published a report about an app allowing users to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in their area. President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the matter with reporters at the grand opening of a Florida detention facility known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” A reporter brought up border czar Tom Homan’s assertion that CNN should be prosecuted for essentially promoting the app to its readers. “We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that, because what they're...

The Trump administration could prosecute CNN for its recent promotion of an app that allows phone users to learn if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is active in their area, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday. CNN recently did a segment promoting the ICEBlock app, which would alert anyone using the app that ICE is reportedly active near the user. “We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations,” Noem said in a video posted to X. “And...

Unreal. CNN is now promoting an app which tracks the movement of ICE agents to warn illegals. ICE agents face a 500% increase in assault and threats. CNN knows exactly what they’re doing.
