Sinclair, the broadcasting company that makes up the nation's largest ABC affiliate group, is giving a list of demands for Jimmy Kimmel to return to air following the show being "indefinitely" pulled. The media company said in a press release on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it "objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk" and, after discussions with ABC, made the decision to "indefinitely preempt" Jimmy Kimmel Live! beginning that night. "Mr. Kimmel's remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country," Sinclair vice chairman Jason Smith said in a...

Stephen Colbert dramatically declared “we are all Jimmy Kimmel” during his Thursday night taping of “The Late Show” in a cringey monologue about ABC’s firing of his fellow late-night host. “Tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel,” the lame duck CBS host opened the solemn episode wholly dedicated to his peer during its taping in Midtown Manhattan. “Yesterday after threats from Trump’s FCC chair, ABC yanked Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship,” Colbert, 61, told the audience. “With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” the host said in apparent reference to President Trump. Colbert railed against FCC...

Already suing newspapers for billions over their reporting, president now cheers removal of late-show hostABC's decision to pull late-show host Jimmy Kimmel off the air marks what observers see as an escalation in a campaign by U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies to pressure media critics into silence. The network announced it was indefinitely pre-empting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, just as taping of the show's Wednesday night episode was about to begin, after Kimmel came under fire for a line in a monologue that referenced the man accused of killing prominent Trump supporter Charlie Kirk. This follows a series of...

Donald Trump and his allies have the U.S. census in their sights as they continue to pursue their anti-democratic visions for the country. Touring a controversial new immigrant detention center in Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump excitedly backed a proposal from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would drastically alter the U.S. electoral map if implemented. Greene said Monday that her proposal, which she said she will introduce in the House, would require the Census Bureau to “immediately” conduct a new census — even though the census takes place every 10 years, with the next one set for 2030....

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is consulting with his team on next steps following his loss in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Cuomo has already qualified for the general election ballot on an independent ballot line. Last night, New York City held party primaries for a range of citywide and local offices, including mayor and city council. In one of the more closely watched races, New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani defeated ten other candidates to win the Democratic nomination, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who led in the polls for most of the primary cycle....

Former Congressman and current OAN host Matt Gaetz was secretly recorded by a fellow airline passenger—who then leaked his private text messages with his mother to the internet. The footage, which was uploaded by a TikTok user going by the handle tidesofmarch, reveals a private, over-the-shoulder shot of Gaetz texting with his mother, Vicky Gaetz, about everything from family finances to his media strategy regarding President Donald Trump. In the now-public texts, Gaetz’s mother warns her son not to criticize President Trump, urging him to remember his loyalty to the MAGA movement. Gaetz’s mom wrote: “Don’t be criticizing the President...

Military Actions During the Clinton Presidency (1993-2001) The presidency of Bill Clinton, spanning from 1993 to 2001, was a period of significant military intervention despite the end of the Cold War. The United States engaged in several key operations, most notably in the Balkans (Bosnia and Kosovo), Somalia, Iraq, and Sudan/Afghanistan utilizing air power, ground forces, and cruise missile strikes. .. Key Military Operations Under Clinton... The initial U.S. involvement in Somalia predates Clinton, beginning under President George H.W. Bush with Operation Restore Hope in 1992 to alleviate a severe famine. However, under Clinton, the mission transitioned to UNOSOM II...

Rep. Sean Casten (D-Il.) said late Saturday that President Trump’s move to bomb Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval amounts to an “unambiguous impeachable offense.” “This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program,” Casten said in a post on the social platform X. “No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.”

@RealCandaceO “A full payload of bombs was dropped” followed by “now is the time for peace”. Utterly deranged. If we had raised the 100 million Adelson gave him on Go Fund Me, maybe he would have kept his promises. Guess we’ll never know.

The Los Angeles City Controller has released data showing that the recent protests over federal immigration raids have cost local taxpayers more than $30 million. In a post to X on Friday, City Controller Kenneth Mejia said that, as of June 17, the cost related to the protests that have roiled the city — mostly downtown L.A. — is $32,042,107.

Former President Bill Clinton, on ABC's "The View" on Thursday, said he didn't have concerns about former President Joe Biden's mental sharpness amid a slate of reports that allege a decline in Biden's acuity during the 2024 campaign and at the end of his presidency. "Well, I think you have to pay attention to them," Clinton said when asked about the accounts. "But all I can say is whenever I was around him, his mind was clear, his judgment was good and he was on top of his brief." Clinton went on to question decisions made by the White House...

Everything is a cover-up. Nothing you hear is true. At least if it comes out of the mouths of Democrats and their mainstream media sycophants … or flows from their pens or keyboards. Turns out the Biden administration and the CDC knew the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous but covered up that knowledge rather than properly inform the public. Big shock? Not to most of us. It also turns out the Biden administration knew cancer-causing chemicals were released into the local environment after the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. And it turns out again that they covered that little bit...

Critics say the administration is breaking the law and sidestepping the rulemaking process that presidents of both parties have routinely followed.At the Transportation Department, enforcement of pipeline safety rules has plunged to unprecedented lows since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.Trump recently ordered Energy Department staff to stop enforcing water conservation standards for showerheads and other household appliances. And at one Labor Department division, his appointees have instructed employees to halt most work related to antidiscrimination laws.Across the government, the Trump administration is trying a new tactic for gutting federal rules and policies that the president dislikes: simply stop enforcing them.“The conscious...

The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party. Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries. “[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico. “The DNC has...

Judges in several states say they have faced threats and intimidation tactics associated with pizza deliveries. Federal judges say unsolicited pizza deliveries to jurists’ homes that began in February may number in the hundreds across at least seven states, prompting increased security concerns and a demand from a Senate leader for a Justice Department investigation. Many of the deliveries have gone to judges presiding over lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has been tracking the deliveries, and judges have been sharing details about their experiences in hopes of finding out more about what they call an...

As my late mother used to say, God has a great sense of humor. About a year ago, AG Leticia James was in the courtroom watching President Trump on trial. My guess is that she was enjoying the show and imagining what her TV ads for governor were going to be like. “Vote for me because no one, not even Trump, is above the law” or something like that. Well, it didn’t turn out that way. Maybe President Trump will go to her trial. Here is the latest in the life and times of AG Letitia James: The FBI in...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a member of the party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, and Black Lives Matter rioters, this week accused Republicans of “domestic terrorism” and being aligned with the KKK. In a Tuesday appearance on the “American Fever Dream” podcast, Crockett went on an unhinged race tirade, which aptly showed her lack of knowledge of American history. The far-left lawmaker, seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, is known for her unhinged race-baiting outbursts and calls for violence against conservatives. As The Gateway Pundit reported, during a commencement address at Tougaloo College, a historically black...

That’s rich! Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders refused to apologize for chartering private jets to ferry him across the country as part of his campaign to rip the wealthy — snapping, “You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United … while 30,000 people are waiting?” Sanders (D-Vt.) defiantly defended his mode of transport after he was widely ridiculed for opting to fly private during his recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour alongside far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “No apologies for that,” Sanders, 83, told Fox News’ “Special Report” late Wednesday when asked about the backlash. “That’s what campaign...

After years of harassment, violent threats, and an assassination attempt being leveled at her conservative colleagues by radical leftists, Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has finally cracked the code on who she believes poses the biggest danger to the judicial branch: President Donald Trump. While speaking at a judicial conference in Puerto Rico on Thursday, Jackson reportedly discussed Americans’ growing criticisms of activist lower court judges unilaterally usurping the constitutional powers of the president to execute existing laws — an issue she characterized as “the elephant in the room.” Without mentioning Trump by name, the Biden appointee claimed...

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stokes 2024 election denial on a far-left podcast (check the host's shirt) and vows to use "subpoena power" on Elon Musk about whether Starlink gave election data to the Russians if Democrats win the midterms "Elon Musk has done nothing in the last 5 months to make me think that we shouldn't ask questions about what the hell he was doing in 2024"
