Former Vice President Kamala Harris falsely stated during a Tuesday appearance on “The View” that the 2024 presidential election was the “closest” of the 21st century. The closest election in the 21st election was the Election of 2000, when former President George W. Bush won the Electoral College 271-266 electoral votes against former Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore. During her appearance on “The View,” Harris insisted that she hardly lost to President Donald Trump despite not winning a single swing state and becoming the first Democrat in two decades to lose the popular vote. “This is unprecedented, think about this....

You should always be aware of cameras if you’re going to say racist things, and one West Virginia female fan is finding that out the hard way. Last Saturday, fans were as rowdy as ever for the annual ‘Backyard Brawl’ game between West Virginia (WVU) and Pittsburgh (Pitt). One African American man came dressed in a Panthers shirt and purposely antagonized the rival Mountaineer supporters in Morgantown. He got exactly what he was looking for: insane reactions. At one point, a female WVU fan came up to his camera to talk trash back when the guy told her, “Fix your...

In a recently released excerpt from her forthcoming book, 107 Days, Kamala Harris revealed that Pete Buttigieg would have been her ideal running mate if she had been a straight white man. But she ultimately decided not to choose Buttigieg, who is gay, because "it was too big of a risk.” You might have thought that Eugene Daniels, who is married to a man, would have criticized Harris for her rejection of Buttigieg. But for Daniels, Democrat solidarity apparently trumps gay solidarity. He went on to make the case for rejecting Buttigieg: "Kamala Harris, as a black woman, ran with...

A strawberry delivery driver was arrested by Border Patrol near Gov. Newsom’s Little Tokyo news conference, becoming “collateral damage.” Angel Minguela Palacios endured six weeks of harsh detention conditions, watching fellow detainees give up and self-deport. Over more than a month in detention, the 48-year-old father prayed he’d get back to his family. The lights never dimmed and Angel Minguela Palacios couldn’t sleep. He pulled what felt like a large sheet of aluminum foil over his head, but couldn’t adjust to lying on a concrete floor and using his tennis shoes as a pillow. He could smell unwashed bodies in...

It turns out that the services benefiting the well-to-do are most impacted by DC’s ICE crackdown.According to Yesim Sayin, who studies the city economy at the D.C. Policy Center think tank, this is all terrible news for the municipal economy, coming at a moment when federal job cuts have made the tax base ever more reliant on hospitality and real estate. “All these actions with ICE are like putting additional weight on something that’s about to break,” she said.But the identity of the most prolific consumers of the impacted industries is also likely to shape the politics around the immigration...

On today's Morning Joe, MSNBC analyst and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius admitted that the people on the boat that the U.S. military fired on in the Caribbean "were associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. I'm sure they're terrible people doing despicable crimes." And while he first said that they "appear to have been drug smugglers," he later flatly described them as "drug smugglers." Even so, Ignatius suggested that members of the military should consider disobeying the orders of President Trump, the Commander-in-Chief, to fire on such boats.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The New Yorker magazine used to be a showcase for great writers. That was many years ago. More recently it has become a cesspool of mediocre writers striving with great urgency to promote their leftist agendas. And the latest such example of a New Yorker writer crawling deep into the sewer came on Wednesday with this smear masquerading as a story by Kyle Chayka, "Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson Came from the Same Warped Online Worlds."To say that Chayka sickeningly attempted to put Charlie Kirk and his assassin on the same moral plane, as inferred by the story title, is...

Hate speech is on the minds of many Republican leaders in the wake Charlie Kirk’s assassination. But in their rush to condemn anyone who has said anything critical of Kirk, himself a polarizing figure in U.S. politics but beloved in GOP ranks, conservatives are engaging in forms of cancel culture that they used to blame liberals of conducting.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel insinuated Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a member of the "MAGA gang" while mocking President Donald Trump’s response to his death during his show Monday night. The "Jimmy Kimmel Live" host brought up the matter during his monologue and claimed right-wing critics were hitting "new lows" trying to frame the suspect, 22-year-old Utah native Tyler Robinson, as someone who wasn’t "MAGA." "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything...

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman is facing backlash for describing a text exchange between suspected Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson and his partner as "very touching". Prosecutors on Tuesday revealed text messages between accused gunman Tyler Robinson and his roommate, in which Robinson admitted to killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, described hiding his rifle and detailed his planning in the days before the shooting. Utah Governor Spencer Cox had previously said Robinson lived with a romantic partner who is transgender. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed on The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday that the name of Robinson's partner is...

An ABC News correspondent is getting panned for his bizarre empathetic and gushing interpretation of the text messages between accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and his transgender partner which were revealed Tuesday. Reporter Matt Gutman breathlessly reported from the Kirk assassination press conference in Utah Tuesday — presenting the deranged killer’s apparent confessional texts as “intimate,” “fulsome,” and “very touching.” “But, also, it was very touching in a way that many of us didn’t expect,” Gutman stated without coercion of the texts sent just hours after Kirk was killed on Sept. 10.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has compared the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “slave patrols” during an appearance on MSNBC’s Velshi on Sunday morning. “As somebody who understands history, when I see ICE, I see slave patrols,” she remarked. “If you understand the history of policing in this country, then you understand that they were born out of slave patrols.” Watch: VIDEO AT LINK................ ICE agents are responsible for enforcing America’s immigration laws and carrying out the mass deportations that President Trump campaigned on. Slave patrols were historically organized groups of armed militias in the American South, who...

The AI argument kicked off in late July, just a day after Trump announced his AI plan — a 28-page strategy to accelerate the technology and build new power infrastructure to supply it. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) fired off a tirade on X, complaining that AI could create mass poverty by replacing human jobs, and giant AI data centers could have potentially devastating effects on the environment and water supply. In the days that followed, GOP strategist Steven Bannon chimed in, comparing the pursuit of AI superintelligence to “summoning the demon.” And since then, think-tankers and populist conservative outlets...

Karen Attiah A left-wing columnist revealed in a Substack on Monday that she was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts amid the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Colorado school shooting. "On Bluesky, in the aftermath of the horrific shootings in Utah and Colorado, I condemned America’s acceptance of political violence and criticized its ritualized responses — the hollow, cliched calls for ‘thoughts and prayers’ and ‘this is not who we are’ that normalize gun violence and absolve [W]hite perpetrators especially, while nothing is done to curb deaths," Karen Attiah wrote. Kirk, a leading conservative activist, was...

A distinguished Harvard Law professor and legal scholar was hammered on social media after spreading a debunked rumor that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was "ultra-MAGA" and that Republicans were trying to "blame" liberals for the tragedy. Laurence Tribe made the comment in a post on X that shared a lengthy post from an account called Occupy Democrats, which attempted to paint a picture of suspect Tyler Robinson’s political ideology. "Kirk’s apparent assassin seems to have been ultra-MAGA, exploding the GOP/MAGA attempt to pin the blame for this tragedy on liberals," wrote Tribe, a professor at Harvard Law School...

Marc Maron recently appeared on “Pod Save America” (via Vulture) and doubled down on his criticisms of Bill Maher. While the “WTF” host acknowledged that he joined Maher on HBO’s “Real Time” three times in the past, he has since turned on Maher in recent years. Maron already called Maher out earlier this summer for being partial to “some of the things” Donald Trump is doing in his second administration as U.S. president. “I can’t do it,” Maron now said when “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett asked him about Maher. “I always had a problem with his tone, and...

As ICE steps up raids in California, some illegals flee back to Mexico leaving rooms empty and sending rents down for shops and people. And the BBB has allocated another nearly $500 Billion to ICE to employ even more agents to enforce immigration laws.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a dig at President Donald Trump on Tuesday for using his office for personal gain. Clinton quoted an X post from Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), who accused Trump and his family of corruption, citing the reported $5 billion fortune from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, a $400 million plane from Qatar and deals with Amazon and CBS. "Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries. Corruption, plain and simple," Casar said. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T...

BREAKING: MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd for his comments after the shooting of Charlie Kirk

The iconic denim brand Levi Strauss has warned that growing international backlash against President Donald Trump could negatively affect its sales and those of other U.S. companies. In a recent filing with the United Kingdom's national business registry, the California-based company noted the risk of "rising anti-Americanism as a consequence of the Trump tariffs and governmental policies." Levi's warned that this could increasingly push consumers in the U.K. away from American goods and toward non-American alternatives.
