MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s comments about Canada were “bat#$$$ crazy.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “The piece about annexing Canada, a friend and a neighbor who has never done anything to offend any American or any American politician who has only helped us in national security crises and as an economic partner, trading and otherwise contrasted with the things he said about Vladimir Putin, and I’ll quote him, ‘He and I have been through a lot together.’ You can’t separate the two, right? it’s not just the animosity for our closest friends...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has seen her ratings plummet since President Donald Trump’s triumphant reelection in November. “Wallace’s MSNBC program, Deadline: White House, averaged 1.6 million total viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day, then saw a dramatic 35% drop once Trump prevailed,” reports Fox News. Since Trump made complete fools out of regime media types like the aging Wallace, Deadline: White House has attracted only a little over a million viewers. The story is the same in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age rate that sets ad rates. Wallace had been an average of 144,000 of these demo viewers....

Wednesday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” long-time MSNBC personality Chris Matthews said President Donald Trump’s comments about the United States taking control of Gaza were the “craziest thing he’s ever said.” Matthews said, “I think it’s the craziest idea I’ve ever heard in my life.” He added, “Give me a break! Hamas is not going to be good. Wherever it goes, it’s going to continue to be trouble. Wherever it goes it’s probably going to topple the government. And for the president to say we won’t use troops — imagine American service people’s families realizing that their son...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday denounced President Trump for saying federal efforts to promote diversity are to blame for this week’s deadly crash between a military helicopter and a commercial passenger plane just outside Washington. Jeffries said the president’s comments were “irresponsible” and “shameful,” especially since the recovery efforts are still underway and the true cause of the crash remains unknown. “It’s a very irresponsible statement that was made by the president,” Jeffries said during a press conference in his district in Brooklyn, N.Y. “Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, children were killed, future ice...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

Hezbollah has reportedly agreed to ceasefire terms proposed by the United States, according to the Lebanese government — though the terror group has “comments” that may indicate it has not fully accepted the deal. The Times of Israel reported: Lebanon and Hezbollah have agreed to a US proposal for a ceasefire with Israel, with some comments on the content, a top Lebanese official tells Reuters, describing the effort as the most serious yet to end to the fighting. Ali Hassan Khalil, an aide to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, says Lebanon had delivered its written response to the US ambassador in...

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) doubled down on his recent comments about transgender athletes, saying the response to them proves his point. “I was just speaking authentically as a dad about one of many issues where I think we’re just out of touch with the majority of voters, and I stand by my position,” Moulton said Sunday during an MSNBC appearance. “The backlash I’ve received proves my point that we can’t even have these discussions as a party.” “And we’ve got to be able to have these debates,” he added. “But, instead, we have a wing of our party that shames...

Since the Republican National Convention, where Ohio Senator JD Vance was selected as former President Trump's vice presidential running mate, the mainstream media has been relentless in its efforts to tarnish Vance's reputation. From labeling him as "weird" to casting him in a negative light, media personalities and Democrat politicians alike have consistently worked to portray Vance as the antagonist in this political narrative. This campaign against Vance seems to be an orchestrated attempt to undermine his credibility, which only goes to show they are frightened that he will relate to voters in Rust Belt states and convince undecided voters...

Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump’s bloodbath comment was an “endorsement of political violence.” Saturday, at a rally in Dayton, OH, Trump said, “If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars as now we’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car...

A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Friday that public officials can sometimes be sued for blocking their critics on social media, an issue that first arose for the high court in a case involving then-President Donald Trump. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the court, said that officials who use personal accounts to make official statements may not be free to delete comments about those statements or block critics altogether. On the other hand, Barrett wrote, "State officials have private lives and their own constitutional rights." The court ruled in two cases involving lawsuits filed by people who were blocked after...

Black leaders are condemning former President Trump’s recent comments about Black voters as “racist.” Speaking at the Black Conservative Federation (BCF) annual gala in South Carolina on Friday, Trump said his legal woes have earned him the support of Black voters around the country. “I got indicted for nothing, for something that is nothing,” Trump told the crowd. “And a lot of people said that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing but possibly, maybe, there’s something...

President Joe Biden’s strange and sometimes flat-out false comments to the press reportedly “baffle, rankle, and worry” his aides who are left on their own to “explain or contradict” them, Reuters detailed Tuesday. Biden, 81, often commits political blunders that have included – but are not limited to: Stated his favorite memory of 2023 was the alleged improvement of the U.S. economy Claimed he never met with Hunter Biden’s associates, despite photo evidence Said Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” Maintained he only had six grandchildren, ignoring Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child Declared twice that his son died in...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg slammed former President Trump’s reported comments to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley about a wounded veteran, saying they were just the latest “in a pattern of outrageous attacks” on those who serve the country. CNN’s Dana Bash asked Buttigieg on “State of the Union” on Sunday what his response was to an interview Milley gave to The Atlantic in which he described an instance when Trump complained to him about a wounded Army veteran. Milley said Trump asked him, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,”...

The White House is blasting a popular Fox News host for his commentary on the Holocaust this week. During an episode Monday of the network’s top-watched table talk program “The Five,” the panel discussed the state of Florida’s new controversial standards for teaching Black history, which direct teachers to include instruction on “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” After a liberal member of the show’s panel asked if the same standard could be applied to Jews who were captured and tortured during the Holocaust, Greg Gutfeld chimed in. The late night...

The White House on Monday blasted comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about COVID-19 as “vile” amid broader condemnation of the Democratic presidential candidate’s claim that the virus was manipulated to target white and Black people. The firestorm began after The New York Post reported Kennedy Jr.’s comments, in which he said during an event last week that COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” to attack those groups of people while avoiding Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews.

No admission in former President Richard Nixon's Watergate tapes was "as clearly illegal" as that of Donald Trump in audio first published by CNN where the latter describes having "highly confidential" papers in his possession, a leading historian of the period has said. The audio, in which Trump appeared to admit some of the documents in his possession hadn't been declassified, was published on Monday. In response, a Trump campaign spokesperson said the former president had been "speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously," and hadn't committed any wrongdoing. Earlier this month, Trump was charged with 37 counts related to his...

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that the former president’s comments on the Constitution were a “time bomb” for every Republican. Co-host Kaitlan Collins asked, “I’ve seen your response to this, what you’ve been saying about Trump’s calls to terminate the Constitution. Do you think it should be disqualifying for a presidential candidate if they made comments like this?” Bolton said, “Well, of course, it is disqualifying. You know, the president takes an oath of office prescribed by the Constitution itself that says he will to the best of his ability preserve, protect...

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that “none of us know the facts” about the FBI’s execution of a search warrant on former President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago earlier on Monday and therefore, “any comments” on the subject “are premature” and it’s wise for people to withhold comment on the issue until more facts are known. Schumer responded to a question on his reaction to the search by stating, “Well, I know nothing about it other than what I’ve read, like everybody else, so I think it’s wise for...

Carefully vetting every single piece of user-generated content (UGC) before it’s allowed to be posted to a website is a daunting task. But China is clearly up for the challenge. The country’s so-called Cyberspace Administration has released a new policy that requires all comments on websites to be approved before they’re published. The new rules were outlined in a document published last week entitled: ‘Provisions on the Administration of Internet Thread Commenting Services’. It will mean any company or individual that runs a website where people can post comments will need to hire ‘a review and editing team suitable for...
