On Friday, leftwing professor Allan Lichtman, who frequently appears as a guest on CNN and MSNBC to hype his "13 Keys" to the presidency shtick was in an excited joyous mood. He had just heard from from former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain that Joe Biden would remain in the presidential race thus preserving Lichtman's all important "incumbency key."Here is the jubilant Lichtman in an upbeat mood due to the preservation of his sacred incumbency key which he believed helped ensure Biden's victory in November.

CNN senior fact checker Daniel Dale said on Thursday that the media incorrectly labeled Vice President Kamala Harris the “border czar.” Media outlets rushed to erase their own reporting to downplay Harris’ role in managing the border crisis by saying she is solely responsible for addressing “root causes” in Latin American countries. Dale continued with this recent trend by saying the media wrongfully portrayed Harris as the “border czar.”

You say to-MAY-to and I say to-MAH-to. You say KAM-a-la, and Trump says Ka-MA-la. Let's call the whole thing off! CNN This Morning devoted a segment to the subject of Trump's pronunciation of Harris's first name. Host Kasie Hunt and CNN analyst and former Dem aide Karen Finney insisted that Trump's mispronunciation was "intentional." Jonah Goldberg wasn't so sure it was intentional, but he agreed with Finney that it was an attempt to "other" her. Really? How is Ka-MA-la any more foreign that KA-ma-la? Neither is exactly Mary Jane. In any case, a country that twice elected Barack Hussein Obama...

The likely 2024 presidential election campaign between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump begins with no clear leader, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection. Trump holds 49% support among registered voters nationwide to Harris’ 46%, a finding within the poll’s margin of sampling error. That’s a closer contest than earlier CNN polling this year had found on the matchup between Biden and Trump.

Almost three-fourths of registered Democrats want someone other than Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s nominee, a CNN poll found Wednesday. The finding exposes a lack of enthusiasm for Harris as the party’s de facto nominee, who appears to be hand-selected by top Democrats. By simply choosing Harris for the nomination instead of holding a democratic process, Democrats will nullify about 14 million votes cast during the Democrat primaries for President Joe Biden. The poll asked Democrats/Democrat-leaning independents who are registered to vote and prefer the Democrat Party to nominate a candidate other than Harris in 2024. “Is...

Former President Donald Trump holds a three-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among registered voters, CNN polling found Wednesday after President Joe Biden stepped aside. The poll is one of the first published surveys after Biden endorsed Harris for president. Trump: 49 percent Harris: 46 percent The poll sampled 1,631 voters from July 22-33 with a 3-point margin of error. CNN’s poll conducted in June found Trump led Harris by six points, underscoring the “honeymoon” period Harris enjoys as the de facto nominee of the struggling Democrat party. The poll found Trump’s support has not changed much since Harris...

When CNN This Morning host Kasie Hunt brings in a Republican and a Democrat to discuss the campaign, that would be two spins. But at the end of today's chat with Republican Scott Jennings and Democrat Brad Woodhouse, Hunt raised her arms, and told viewers: "Scott is giving you spin. That is what they are going to say."Jennings had just said "she's always been better at getting money that votes. I mean, not a single person has ever voted for her for this. And yet, here she has it. So, good job." That is indisputably true on the national level....

In a gross violation of journalistic ethics, a CNN journalist gave the Biden administration a sneak peek of her article looking for the government stamp of approval before publishing. The Functional Government Initiative (FGI) obtained documents shared exclusively with MRC Business showing that CNN congressional reporter Clare Foran all but asked the Department of Energy to greenlight her story going after Republican politicians for pushing to prohibit DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm from implementing any rule that would “limit consumer access to gas kitchen ranges and ovens.” The emails uncovered by FGI — dated March 30, 2023 — don’t denote a...

In Monday's interview on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) offered his perspective on the sudden shift in the Democratic presidential race, criticizing media pressure on President Joe Biden while holding off on an immediate endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Sanders, who had previously supported Biden's reelection bid, expressed concern about the media's role in pushing the President out of the race. The Vermont senator's hesitation to immediately endorse Harris stands in contrast to the wave of support she has received from within the Democratic Party. "Vice President Harris has now been endorsed by at least 41...

Critics slammed CNN after anchor John King said there were “risks” in putting forward Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as the Democratic vice presidential nominee because “he’s Jewish.” “He’s certainly under consideration,” King said on CNN Sunday night, referencing discussions with allies of Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a first-term governor, he’s Jewish, there could be some risks in putting him on the ticket, but certainly some of our voters here in Pennsylvania said, ‘Hey, we like Gov. Shapiro, give him a look,'” he added. The popular X account StopAntisemitism underscored the hateful comment by pointing out how different the response...

A full public assessment of Trump’s injuries is necessary, for both the former president’s own health and the clarity it can provide for voters about the recovery of the man who could become president of the United States once again.

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to turn the United States back to Jim Crow days. Clyburn said, “If you want to know how 45 will perform in the future, look at what he tried to do to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. What would that have done to our children and our senior citizens and others? We know what’s in his Project 2025 for his future. He can claim all he wants to they didn’t know what’s in it. He didn’t know...

CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp said Thursday that Democratic lawmakers were leaking their conversations with President Biden because they feel they can't get through to him about dropping out of the race. "Democrats are so desperate to get through to Joe Biden and they’re not, that now they're leaking these private conversations as sort of an outside effort to triangulate and really force Joe Biden to acknowledge the realities of the state of his campaign. And unfortunately, I think his resistance does not look like it’s coming from a position of strength but a position of delusion," Cupp said.

...that CCN live streamed the Trump rally in Butler PA, and that CNN had never live streamed a Trump rally. The obvious conclusions are 1) they wanted to be in on the kill, 2) they knew in advance that there would be a sniper shoot. Discuss, please.

The impacts of human-caused climate change are so overwhelming they’re actually messing with time, according to new research. Polar ice melt caused by global warming is changing the speed of Earth’s rotation and increasing the length of each day, in a trend set to accelerate over this century as humans continue to pump out planet-heating pollution, according to the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The changes are small — a matter of milliseconds a day — but in our high-tech, hyperconnected world have an important impact on computing systems we have come to...

As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection? For Biden, is it a new moment? Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s alarming debate performance in Atlanta, the White House and the Biden campaign are in a new place, multiple Democratic officials told...

CNN’s John King admitted that former President Donald Trump is on course for an unprecedented landslide victory this November. The CNN analyst says Trump could win as many as 330 electoral votes (only 270 are needed to secure victory). King explained: “If Donald Trump won, what we have here, dark red states, solid Republican.” “Light red states, leaning Republican.” “If he won just those right there, he would already have the path to 270,” King added. “He would have 272 electoral votes,” he explained.

There is only one Democrat who thinks he’s winning or in a good position to win: Joe Biden. Every other member of his party, excluding his Rasputin-like inner circle, knows he’s in trouble. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) reportedly told donors that House Democrats face annihilation if the president remains in the race. The polling reflects that the map has only improved for Donald Trump ever since Biden’s abysmal June 27 debate. CNN’s John King’s projection of the 2024 race isn’t just brutal for Joe Biden; it’s also something of an epitaph. We’re sixteen weeks away from Election Day, and with...

Forensic analysis suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.The FBI said Sunday that the shooter acted alone.The first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final “acoustic impulse” was emitted by a possible weapon C, per audio analysis by Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate at the same institution.Audio analysis has also confirmed that the gunman was about 360...

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks. Subsequent reports have revealed the numerous avoidable failures by the Secret Service to protect Trump and take out the gunman. Humiliating footage of petite females struggling to cover the 45th president and escort him out of harm’s way has also emerged. Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), a former Army sniper and member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command, was a guest Tuesday morning on CNN to discuss the aftermath...
