Former CNN contributor Chris Cillizza’s Tesla was defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi” during his son’s soccer tournament, prompting him to reflect on the increasing politicization of everyday products and its impact on American society. In a recent Substack post, former CNN commentator Chris Cillizza shared an incident involving his Tesla being defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi.” The incident occurred over the weekend while Cillizza was attending his son’s soccer tournament. The leftist used this experience as a springboard to discuss the growing trend of politicizing everyday products and how it is “making...

Omer Shem Tov, kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, tells Bianna Golodryga how he survived starvation, isolation and mental abuse in Hamas tunnels until his release in February. 24:13 min interview.

Hamas is calling on Gaza residents not to accept food from the new Israeli aid mechanism that began operating today. Hamas’s Interior Ministry warns Gaza residents against cooperating with the new Israeli food distribution mechanism, claiming its purpose is “the occupation’s takeover of aid distribution in the Strip.” The Hamas ministry adds: Israel is funding the mechanism through the “Gaza” aid fund and is violating international law by operating it. Gazans have the right to receive aid at their place of residence under international law. Cooperating with the occupation’s mechanism threatens the work of international organizations. If the mechanism fails,...

President Donald Trump is visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day on Monday hours after blasting his political opponents and perceived enemies as “scum” in a social media post marking the solemn occasion honoring America’s war dead. In the early morning Truth Social post, Trump criticized members of the federal judiciary as “USA hating” as well as “monsters,” and his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, as “incompetent.” The all-caps message, posted just before 7 a.m. ET, sees the president wishing a “Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country...

If chutzpah could take human form, it would strongly resemble CNN’s Jake Tapper. The recent spectacle of Tapper making the rounds on the interview circuit to promote his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Alex Thompson, has such a wolf-in-the-henhouse feel to it that both the interview tour and the five-years-too-late investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline simply must involve sinister, ulterior motives. Sure enough, in an interview posted to the social media platform X Friday, Tapper revealed those motives. ... “This applies to Donald Trump,...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Anderson Cooper as a [redacted] to colleagues following a tense interview over former President Joe Biden's catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump last year, a bombshell new book revealed.The then-veep unleashed the disparaging remark after the CNN host grilled her on Biden's cognitive health immediately following his disastrous showing in June -- that ignited widespread panic and ultimately led to the octogenarian dropping out of the race."This [redacted] doesn't treat me like the [redacted] vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues," according to the new book "Original Sin," co-authored by Anderson's...

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....

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.

CNN anchor and slick-haired blowhard Jake Tapper’s tell-all book on how Democrats covered up President Joe Biden’s mental decline the past four years was just released today. Not surprisingly, website traffic cop NewsGuard is still giving the liberal media outlets that helped perpetuate this cover-up stellar marks for journalistic credibility. Outlets like CNN, Politico, Bloomberg News, Slate and others have falsely tried to cast Biden’s conservative critics on his deterioration and on the media’s complicity in burying the story as peddling “unfounded” “conspiracy” theories, which now look utterly ridiculous in retrospect of Tapper’s new book. As syndicated radio host Chris...

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...

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...

Israel is preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a leak to CNN. CNN reported on Tuesday that the United States obtained new intel suggesting Israel is currently planning on striking Iran’s nuclear and uranium enrichment facilities. No final decision has been made, according to CNN. President Trump recently demanded that Tehran stop enriching Uranium.

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Megyn Kelly ended Jake Tapper’s career today. Total bloodbath. She left him rambling, speechless, and admitting he helped cover up Biden’s decline. He had years to press Biden and didn’t. Now he’s exposed… and finished. Watch:

“The root causes of the conflict.” These were startling words from a man purportedly on the path to peace.But it is the nub of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s position of what must be solved for peace, after two weeks, or three months, depending on how you count, of mounting pressure for an immediate unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Unbothered, taking this most consequential of calls at a music school on the Sochi coast, the Kremlin head has returned to the start – to his false narrative about this war of choice being sparked by NATO expanding too fast.Five other, different words emerged...

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. Negative reaction to Biden’s alarmingly disastrous performance led him to abandon his campaign three weeks later and Vice President Kamala Harris...

Nothing's wrong with a black mayor boasting of hiring blacks for senior positions in his administration in order to look out for the interests of "our people." After all, civil rights laws are on the books only to protect "minority groups." Non-minorities being the victims of discrimination? Meh. That is the apparent position of New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro. She was part of Tuesday's CNN This Morning panel reacting to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's comments on his hires, and the ensuing DOJ investigation into them. Panelist Michael Warren of The Dispatch said: "I think the mayor shouldn't be talking...

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...
