"Real Time" host Bill Maher had a tense exchange with Puck News correspondent Julia Ioffe after she claimed that Trump supporters "have a lot to repent for." During the "Overtime" segment where viewer questions are answered after the show on YouTube, Maher complained about the political polarization that has taken place across the country in recent years and how he doesn't want to be forced to "choose sides" since he finds things disagreeable with both parties. Presidential historian and Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham spoke about how he's "friends" with many Republicans in his home state of Tennessee who don't like...

After a child in the audience professed her love for him, President Joe Biden called her “Baby” and asked her age during an event at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania on Friday. “How are you, baby? How old are you? How old are you?,” Biden asked after the child screamed “I love you!” After she said she was nine years old, Biden joked that she was “almost double figures.” …

Demetrius Carl Davis, 24, was arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office after an investigation identified more than 80 child victims that Davis allegedly groomed into doing and filming sex acts that he saved on his cell phone and computer, Fox 40 of Sacramento reported.

We’ve long known about Biden’s disturbing habits around little girls but his latest remark about nakedness and blackmail raises his creep factor to new heights. Over the years, Joe Biden’s predilection for sniffing and pawing little girls has been the subject of a great deal of commentary. Video after video shows him groping them, whispering to them and, always, sniffing them. He’s the original creepy uncle, and he certainly raised a very creepy son. Yesterday, Biden took the creepiness to a whole new level when he discussed “a new civil rights cause of action” for people whose naked images ended...

ALBANY, N.Y. — Members of New York’s ethics commission voted overwhelmingly to rescind approval of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s $5.1 million book deal Tuesday. The committee’s vote comes over a year since the October 2020 publication of Cuomo’s book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” which largely recounts the governor’s once-daily press conferences last spring. Tuesday’s vote means Cuomo will have to apply again for approval for his book deal. McNamara and other commissioners have said they want to claw back at least some of Cuomo’s book deal proceeds. It’s unclear whether the state could go after all...

President Biden, who in December said he “wouldn’t demand” vaccines be mandatory, not only mocked unvaccinated Americans on Thursday and their freedom to make their own medical decisions, but also endorsed the firing of first responders and police who don’t comply. During a town hall event with CNN, moderator Anderson Cooper asked about his thoughts on first responders and police in a number of major cities who are refusing to take the vaccine, which has been mandated at the city level. “Should police officers, emergency responders be mandated to get vaccines and if not, should they stay at home or...

As of 5 p.m. ET, the...

What is a quitter? Mike Richards — the recently announced new host of “Jeopardy!” — has already bailed on the gig amid ongoing controversy about his problematic history of sexist language and lawsuits. He announced his departure in a bombshell memo dropped Friday on the beloved game show’s production staff. “[Sony Pictures Television] will now resume the search for a permanent syndicated host,” Richards, 46, revealed in the resignation letter. “In the meantime, we will be bringing back guest hosts to continue production for the new season, details of which will be announced next week.” A spokesperson for Sony TV...

"At The End of His Grope" Breaking911 (@Breaking911) Tweeted: NY Post headline on Cuomo's resignation. https://t.co/RaRal9w5Cx

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday under threat of impeachment, following the release of a scathing state Attorney General report in which investigators concluded that he sexually harassed several women in violation of state and federal law. “I think that given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside,” Cuomo said from his Manhattan office. After disputing the report’s findings and apologizing for some behavior he insisted didn’t amount to sexual harassment, Cuomo said the wasted time and money from the impeachment process would hurt New Yorkers during a time of crisis....

In March, President Biden said that Andrew Cuomo should resign if an investigation confirmed the sexual assault allegations against him: President Joe Biden said in an interview aired Tuesday that Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign if an investigation confirms the allegations of sexual harassment against him. “I think he’ll probably end up being prosecuted, too,” Biden said.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo boasted, “I am not a superhero,” in early versions of his book, drafted as his aides scrubbed a politically damaging Health Department report. ALBANY, N.Y. — As the coronavirus subsided in New York last year, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had begun pitching a book proposal that would center on his image as a hero of the pandemic. But by early last summer, both his book and image had hit a critical juncture.

Former Nixon campaign official G. Gordon Liddy, who was a key figure in the Watergate scandal as the chief operative in the White House Plumbers unit, has died, according to multiple news outlets. He was 90.

ALBANY - On a Saturday morning last June, Charlotte Bennett was unexpectedly summoned to the Capitol to "staff" Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo as he worked in his private office. It was during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and the governor was putting in long hours. According to an attorney for Bennett, who would later level sexual harassment charges against the governor, she was greeted by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa and Stephanie Benton, the director of the governor's offices - a role in which Benton largely serves as Cuomo's gatekeeper. "They said, 'Oh, good, you're here,' and brought...

Disillusioned staffers are abandoning embattled Gov. Cuomo, sources said. “I hear that most people aren’t even coming into work, and the offices at the Capitol are empty,” said one well-placed insider in touch with staffers in recent days. “He’ll fight and fight and fight, but the staffers I’ve talked to are ready for him to hang up the gloves. Everyone feels like there is an inevitable conclusion — I mean at some point will Biden call on him to step down? They [staffers] just want this torture to stop.” Rebellion in the ranks deepened as Cuomo on Friday defiantly refused...

A third woman, 33-year-old Anna Ruch, on Monday stepped forward to accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual harassment. Ruch met Cuomo at a mutual friend's wedding reception in Sept. 2019. The two had a discussion after Cuomo offered positive thoughts about the newlyweds. According to The New York Times, Cuomo allegedly placed his hand on Ruch's lower back, which she removed with her own. He allegedly said she was "aggressive," placed his hands on her cheeks, and loudly asked if he could kiss her. As Cuomo leaned in to kiss her, Ruch pulled away. “I was so...

CHICAGO — Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger got hit with his first formal rebuke late Wednesday from Republican officials in his district for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump. The LaSalle County Republican Central Committee overwhelmingly passed a resolution censuring the GOP congressman for taking actions “contrary to the values” of the party, county GOP Chair Larry Smith announced. In a statement, Smith said the measure passed with 88 percent support. The voting started Tuesday night but the results were released a day later. Republicans, he said, are also concerned that Kinzinger hasn’t engaged with county Republicans for six years...

Would you let your young daughter anywhere near Joe Biden? It’s time to have a candid discussion about Joe Biden’s down right creepy behavior around little girls. It cannot be ignored any longer. It’s the big donkey in the room. Joe certainly doesn’t hide his conduct. He proudly parades his predilection in front of cameras during primetime appearances. Joe even talks and jokes about it. The #MeToo madams are predictably silent over the troubling public spectacle exhibited by the democratic presidential candidate around little girls and young women. Like all politicians, photo opportunities are a necessary evil of the business,...

CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart attacked former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann after his network settled a $250 million defamation lawsuit earlier this year. On Tuesday evening, CNN awkwardly aired Sandmann's speech as part of the second night of the Republican National Convention, where he said his life "changed forever in that one moment" because the "full war machine in the mainstream media revved up into attack mode" while botching its coverage of the 2019 viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor. However, one of Sandmann's loudest critics came...
