An autopen — if you’ve somehow avoided any major political news in the last six months — is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a device that automatically recreates signatures for an individual. It’s also one of the most controversial things to emerge from former President Joe Biden’s … shall we say “polarizing” lone presidential term. ... To wit, it’s hardly a secret that Biden wasn’t exactly the epitome of good health during his presidency. To say nothing of recent devastating health diagnoses (the 46th president has an aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones), Biden’s lone term...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Los Angeles City Council Member Eunisses Hernandez (D) calls to escalate the riots against ICE agents. Arrest her. 10:43 PM · Jun 7, 2025

After Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned ICE for operating in LA, the city is seeing massive unrest all across the city. But now that President Donald Trump is bringing in the national guard against CA Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes, will this save the city? Check out @AnthonyCabassa_'s work on x!

ABC News’ senior national correspondent Terry Moran went off on a late-night screed against top White House adviser Stephen Miller along with President on social media — drawing scathing backlash from the Trump administration. Moran, who landed an interview with the president in April, blasted Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, as a man “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.”z “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But...

Representative Nanette Barragán (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Donald Trump was “targeting peaceful protests” by sending the National Guard to Los Angeles. Host Dana Bash said, “Let’s start with the fact that the president ordered National Guard troops to respond in LA County within the next 24 hours. What have you heard about the situation on the ground? What updates are you getting?” Barragán said, “Well, I’ve spoken to the sheriffs on the ground who have said they have things under control. There is no need for the National Guard. They have the manpower...

Was there a coup? That question, when asked in the context of American politics, invites ridicule from respectable quarters. Yet when the subject turns to foreign regimes, that same question is treated with analytic seriousness. Political scientists pore over cases from Georgia to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Egypt, cataloguing the hallmarks of so-called "color revolutions", soft regime-change efforts executed through legal, media, and civic levers, rather than military ones. Oddly, however, the moment one notices similar tactics deployed on American soil, the conversation ends. That silence deserves scrutiny. For there is a credible case that the 2020 effort to remove...

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...

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast. Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency. Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations. A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said. “The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added. “I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat...

The blue state of Hawaii is suing oil companies over climate change, but for some strange reason they have exempted one refinery that has executives who give a lot of cash to Democrats. What an odd coincidence. The entire conversation about climate change should have ended the instant that leftists began targeting Teslas and Tesla dealerships over DOGE. It proved that the left doesn’t really care about this issue, they just want what they want. The lawyers for the oil companies will surely point this out, if they’re smart. Hawaii Sues Oil Industry for Causing Climate Change—But Spares State’s Largest...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. New York Attorney General Letitia James ranted to a crowd that she’s being followed on the orders of President Trump – days before reports surfaced that Trump’s Department of Justice had actually launched a criminal probe into mortgage fraud claims against her. “They got individuals coming to my house, standing outside my house. Last Sunday – church Sunday while I was in church – these individuals were in front of my house, taking pictures and then streaming it, putting it on social media,” she said during a May...

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...

A New York budget item negotiated by Albany Democrats sets aside $10 million to cover “reasonable" private legal expenses that state employees incur in defense of actions brought by President Donald Trump's administration since Jan. 1. Although the fund is for any state employee, critics say it appears to have been set up for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is the subject of a criminal investigation opened by the FBI and U.S Attorney’s Office in Albany on Thursday.

Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has repeatedly been assigned cases to do with President Donald Trump's second term, as Townhall has been covering. Congress has taken notice, and the House last month passed a bill to rein in rogue judges like Boasberg and others. Questions still remain, though, and on Monday, Townhall obtained a letter from Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Chip Roy (R-TX) regarding such concerns. The letter was sent to Angela D. Caesar, the Clerk of the Court for the U.S. District Court for...

A Pennsylvania woman was caught on camera taking a dump on another driver’s car during a revolting road rage incident Tuesday — and then bizarrely bragged about it being a “clean poop,” according to authorities and a report. The victimized driver didn’t report the poop-filled fracas, but the disgusting act was videotaped by a bystander and posted on Instagram. The footage shows a woman hop out of her vehicle, storm over to the other car, pull down her pants and squat on the grill of the other car — quickly ripping loose in just a matter of seconds as the...

Soros-backed prosecutor Mary Moriarty is being blasted for deciding not to file criminal charges against an admitted Tesla vandal and Minnesota government staffer, who caused $20,000 in damages to vehicles built by Elon Musk last month. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty — who has financial ties to George Soros — is facing backlash for not charging 33-year-old Minnesota state government employee Dylan Bryan Adams after he admitted to attacking six Tesla vehicles in a politically motivated vandalism spree last month. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says it will seek “diversion” over charges against Adams — a Minnesota Department of Human...

President Donald Trump signed a powerful memorandum last week ordering a full federal crackdown on illegal campaign donation practices — specifically targeting the embattled Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue and calling for “crooked” Adam Schiff to be thrown behind bars. The directive comes amid mounting investigations led by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and 19 state Attorneys General — including officials from Texas, Arkansas, Florida, and Missouri — exposing explosive evidence that ActBlue was complicit in laundering illegal donations, including potentially illicit foreign money, into Democrat campaigns across the country. The memorandum, as highlighted by The Gateway Pundit, states: “Federal law (52...

CV NEWS FEED // A Minnesota state employee caught on video vandalizing Tesla vehicles will avoid criminal charges under a controversial decision by Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty, drawing sharp rebukes from police and victims. Surveillance footage captured 33-year-old Dylan Bryan Adams, a data analyst for the Minnesota Department of Human Services, keying multiple Teslas and stripping paint from the vehicles while walking his dog near a dealership in Minneapolis. The damage totaled over $20,000 and impacted at least six victims. Despite the evidence, Moriarty’s office declined to file criminal charges against Adams. Instead, Adams was placed in a...

Today the Colorado Deep State in conjunction with the Globalists were unsuccessful in dismissing the DOJ Statement of Interest against Tina Peters. This alone was a HUGE victory for justice. Leading up to today, the Insurgent Marxist Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser on behalf of his Globalist handlers did all he could to prevent the case from even being heard. He even attempted to utilize last minute 3rd Grade excuses reminiscent of why homework wasn’t done. Their excuses were also unsuccessful. The Judge today heard both sides, and instead of ruling in favor of the Deep State as it usually...

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on Tuesday vetoed a bill to speed up Arizona’s vote-counting process by requiring in-person mail-in ballot drop-offs to be completed before Election Day. Under the new law, voters would still be allowed to send in their ballot or deliver their ballot to the County Recorder’s office by 7 pm on election day, but early in-person drop-offs in ballot drop boxes must be completed by 7 pm on Friday before election day. It can be recalled that Katie Hobbs stole her election for Governor from Trump-Endorsed Kari Lake when 60% of voting machines failed on election day,...
