CNN’s new CEO is looking at the ratings (he must have an electron microscope), looking at the salaries of his overpaid anchors, and thinking it’s time to make some changes. InTouch reports, “New CEO Mark Thompson is preparing ruthless cuts to remake the network as ratings plunge — leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axman, a source says.” This is what I found fascinating — replacing these liars and basement-rated losers with Megyn Kelly — someone who actually attracts a sizable audience: Sources say [Thompson] has no use for the star system...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” host Anderson Cooper wondered why House Republicans think the two 2019 wire transfers from Chinese nationals to Hunter Biden that listed his father’s Delaware home as the beneficiary address that Republicans say they uncovered is “relevant evidence, when, apparently, it doesn’t show that President Biden received any money or did anything illegal?” While speaking to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Cooper said, “This wire transfer that Hunter Biden received, why do you think Republicans are touting it as relevant evidence, when, apparently, it doesn’t show that President Biden received any money or did anything illegal?”

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, vetoed three bills this week, one of which would have protected children from life-altering gender surgeries performed under the guise of “affirmation.” Cooper vetoed House Bill 808, also known as the Act to Prohibit Gender Transition Procedures for Minors, which specifically states that it would be “unlawful for a medical professional to perform a surgical gender transition procedure on a minor or to prescribe, provide, or dispense puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones to a minor.” The bill provided exceptions, including for those with a medically verifiable disorder of sex development.

Colonel Jeff Cooper, the founder of Gunsite and author of To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth, borrowed from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings to depict soldiers of dictatorships as orcs, communist-occupied East Germany as Mordor, and violent criminals as goblins. "When three goblins broke into his house with knives, he produced his regimental sabre and gave battle." See also: "It seems that the concealed carry policy now in effect in 30 states is unfair to goblins. They cannot tell who is armed and who is not, and when their intended victim shoots back it hurts their feelings...

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is continuing his abortion barnstorming tour around the state. Cooper is desperately making the case why abortion is a good thing for the Tar Heel State as he hopes to somehow convince one or more legislator not to override his veto of a common sense bill that would ban abortions after 12 weeks. The Democrat governor’s latest argument is one that is sure to turn off many voters: Killing babies is good for the economy. Here’s more: Among his concerns about Senate Bill 20, Gov. Roy Cooper believes the legislation’s restrictions on abortion — limits...

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper returned to his scorched-earth approach to former President Trump that has largely been absent since the 2022 ousting of the network's anti-Trump president Jeff Zucker. Cooper began his opening monologue on Thursday following CNN's town hall with Trump the night before by addressing his audience's reaction to the "disturbing" event without once saying the former president's name.

CNN host Anderson Cooper said Tuesday on his show “Anderson Cooper 360” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson would have wet his pants during the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cooper said, “The idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine. I find it hard to understand somebody who has never put himself in harm’s way in any capacity for anyone else or on reporting a story and yet has the audacity to try to rewrite history. I mean, that’s what this is. It is an...

Anchor Chuck Todd asked, “Let’s talk about rebuilding from his disasters. North Carolina has had to do it, Florida has had to do it quite a few times. Is it time to put more strings when it comes to rebuilding so that every dollar that’s spent is done for resiliency, so that it’s better for the next time and who should pay for that?” Cooper said, “North Carolina has had a...

Anderson Cooper has testified that he will accept pre-agreed answers during interviews about legally-thorny topics, in a deposition that lifts the lid on CNN's journalistic processes. The 55-year-old journalist, one of CNN's biggest stars, bristled when the lawyer deposing him described him as a television 'host,' and insisted that he was fully involved in reporting and not just the face of the news. He said he never attended morning editorial meetings, and, asked about who controlled his social media, replied: 'I don't look at social media that much.' On the advice of his lawyer, Cooper refused to answer questions about...

WASHINGTON—Testimony that suggested the Donald Trump-Russia claims given to the FBI by a Hillary Clinton lawyer may have been fabricated will be struck from the record, along with mention of the email that triggered the testimony, a judge has ruled.

Joffe discussed one of the white papers Michael Sussmann, a lawyer representing both Joffe and the Clinton campaign, later handed over to the FBI alleging a secret link between Trump and a Russian...
