The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Amber Duke walked off set after her co-host Nomiki Konst said Duke “made Nazi comments in the past.” “Rising is shorter than usual today because I chose not to continue sitting at a desk with someone who falsely accused me of ‘Nazi writings’ because they were losing an argument,” Duke, who previously worked as the Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent, tweeted Tuesday. “I think I have been unfathomably patient with my cohost but everyone has a line,” she wrote. The pair were discussing a controversy surrounding former CNN contributor Ryan Gidursky’s dismissal from the network when...

Joe Biden has complained that Elon Musk broke U.S. immigration laws nearly 30 years ago. Over the weekend, The Washington Post published a hit piece complaining that when Musk arrived in the United States in 1995, he was supposed to be on a student visa. However, Musk never actually enrolled in his graduate program and instead focused on developing Zip2, a software company that he eventually sold for $300 million.

GOP veep pick JD Vance on Sunday went head to head with CNN host Jake Tapper over former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the fact that some former top aides have called him a “fascist.” “State of the Union’s” Tapper came out of the gate grilling Vance on Trump’s remarks about an “enemy from within” and retired Gen. John Kelly’s suggestion that his onetime boss fits “into the general definition of fascist.” Vance, 40, in turn belittled Trump turncoats such as Kelly and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as warmongers, which led to Tapper, 55, to drill down on the...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if former President Donald Trump wins the presidential election, billionaire businessman Elon Musk would likely be “running the government.” Host Kristen Welker said, “I have to ask you about developments related to Elon Musk. The Wall Street Journal reporting this week that Musk a major government contractor and someone that has security clearance that gives him access to highly classified information has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin for the last two years. My question for you, is it appropriate for Elon Musk to have these secret...

PITTSBURGH — Mark Cuban admitted Saturday that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted “sooner” to fix the border crisis — while he was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh. “I would have handled immigration differently,” the business mogul said on the campaign trail on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.”

Mark Cuban admitted Saturday that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted “sooner” to fix the border crisis — while he was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh. “I would have handled immigration differently,” the business mogul said on the campaign trail on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.” While speaking with small Pennsylvanian business owners during a town hall, Cuban said he ultimately supports how the Biden-Harris administration has handled...

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Black Insurrectionist,” the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York. He’s also white. With a profile photo of a Black soldier and the tagline “I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS,” the account on the platform X amassed more than 300,000 followers while posting dubious claims about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Some were amplified by former President Donald Trump, his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, and their Republican allies in...

Millionaire investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary clashed with CNN panelists after he blasted the Democratic Party Thursday for how it selected Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee. O’Leary said on “CNN NewsNight” that after watching her at their town hall the night before, Democrats should have some concerns about how she ended up being the nominee. He said he was struck by how “only 90 days ago, Pelosi went to Biden and said, ‘You need to step aside’ and convinced him to do so. He made the decision, and he did actually ask her, and we’ve now...

Donald Trump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency. His rallies offer a steady stream of such promises and threats — things like prosecuting political opponents and using the military against U.S. citizens. These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of American democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster. We have two words for American voters: Believe him. The record shows that Mr. Trump often pursues his stated goals, regardless of how plainly...

I love The Washington Post, deep in my bones. Last month marked my 40th year of proud work for the institution, in the newsroom and in the Opinions section. I have never been more disappointed in the newspaper than I am today, with the tragically flawed decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential race.At a moment when The Post should have been stepping forward to sound the clarion call about the multiple dangers that Donald Trump poses to the nation and the world, it has chosen instead to pull back. That is the wrong choice at the worst...

Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump's own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris. Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn't intend to carry out -- underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race. Responding to one of...

Vice President Kamala Harris claims former President Donald Trump will weaponize the government against his political opponents, but Democrats are already targeting one of Trump’s chief supporters – Elon Musk. Musk’s enterprise has increasingly been targeted since he purchased Twitter in 2022 and began staunchly supporting Trump. Washington’s bureaucracy and thousands of regulations enable officials to target him, experts told the Daily Caller. “I think if Harris wins, they will launch multiple criminal investigations of Elon Musk,” former U.S. District Attorney for Utah and Executive Director of Right On Crime, Brett Tolman, told the Daily Caller. “There’s no question.” Musk’s...

I’m not ready. I have to get there where I'm ready for either scenario,' Kimmel told Joe Scarborough Late night host Jimmy Kimmel said during an interview on Wednesday that he was not "mentally prepared" for Vice President Kamala Harris potentially losing the election to former President Trump. "I was telling my wife, I don’t feel like I’m mentally prepared for the possibility of a loss. I’m not ready. I have to get there where I'm ready for either scenario," Kimmel said, speaking to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who wondered whether he looked forward to a time when they weren't...

Many generations of young Americans have learned in school under the grading system. We took tests in subjects and would find out how well we had done when the instructor returned them, often with red marks to show where we’d made mistakes. The instructor would go over the tests, often spending extra time on the questions that had given students the most trouble. Then we would move on to new material, followed by another test. At the end of the class, we’d receive an overall grade to indicate how well we had done—an A for excellent work, a B for...

Donald Trump manned the fry station at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania during a weekend campaign stop, intended at least partly in response to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has claimed that she worked at the fast food chain in 1983. Trump has repeatedly accused Harris of lying about working there in an attempt to pose as someone with working-class roots. McDonald’s said in a statement that it did not keep employment records for all positions dating back from the early 80s. Trump has not provided any evidence to validate his claims that Harris did not work there. After Trump’s McDonald’s...

During a town hall on CNN on Wednesday, 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris responded to a question on how her plan to combat “price gouging” on groceries “during emergencies or times of crisis” would help with the fact that grocery prices have just been high every day for years by stating that there should be accountability “when companies are taking advantage of the desperation and the need of the American people,” and stating that “most” companies don’t gouge. Host Anderson Cooper asked, “I looked at your plan. You talk about going after price gougers, and I’m quoting...

They seem to think the company employee who was beaten by Tren de Aragua gang members should go back and clean up the illegals' trash. As if getting one's managed properties taken over by a foreign gang weren't bad enough, and then upon asking for help, watching the city look away, now the property managers of the Aurora, Colorado apartments are getting hit with selectively enforced code violations related to the gang's activity on their property. The CZB Management company, which put out this up-close-and-personal look at gang takeovers of their properties a couple weeks ago, now has put this...

Former president also slams Harris as “lazy” for taking day off from campaign trail, and urges leakers of Israeli intel to be brought to justice. Gaining momentum two weeks from Election Day, Donald Trump is laser focused on voters’ top priority of making America safe and affordable again. But after spending hours comforting families victimized by murder, rape and other border crimes, the former president told Just the News he also is open to creating a federal compensation fund for Americans harmed by illegal immigrants let into the country under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The idea...

A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.' 'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience. 'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.' Typically,...

Michigan’s top election official, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, is the subject of a bar complaint over her department’s actions to keep independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name on the ballot. State Sen. Ruth Johnson, a Republican who immediately preceded Benson as secretary of state, filed the bar complaint alleging that Benson manipulated procedures to undermine the Nov. 5 election. Michigan is one of the most fiercely contested battleground states. Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, and former President Donald Trump, a Republican, are separated by a single percentage point, according to the Real Clear Politics...
