During the network’s coverage of the first anniversary of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, NBC anchor Chuck Todd said that people who criticized President Joe Biden’s speech believed former President Donald Trump’s “lies.” Todd said, “I think it was something that he had been avoiding. Look, what was remarkable to me about it is we went a year without him responding to this. He wanted to stay above this. And a lot of people thought this, that if you ignore some of the craziest rantings of the former president, maybe he’ll fade away. Maybe this will wear...

Best advice for this anniversary of the events of last January 6: Turn off the TV. Today will be a festival of drama-queen hand-wringing, the latest attempt to make Americans believe that democracy itself was on the brink of collapse, and remains threatened by voters poised to launch waves of insurrection and assaults on basic voting rights. That fabrication has fueled a year of rhetorical excess and malicious maneuvering designed to do two things—destroy the political viability of Donald Trump, and savage the motivations of every voter who ever supported him. Emotions following the 2020 elections ran so high, and...

@Breaking911 PSAKI: In Jan 6 speech, Biden will lay out the "singular responsibility Mr. Trump has for the chaos and carnage we saw.” Clip...

On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the Jan. 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. "We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being 'obsessed' with January 6." You don't have to be a Donald Trump supporter to see it. The media obsession with Jan. 6 is easily quantifiable. Saying there's not an obsession is like claiming the media didn't do enough coverage of Princess Diana's car crash and funeral. The New York Times editorial board recently posted an article titled "Every Day Is Jan. 6...

For the last year, we've heard one commentator after another tell us that American democracy is in crisis. The source of that crisis, we are told, is a hard core of the Republican Party that believes the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and that Joe Biden, therefore, is not a legitimate president. It's true that a significant number of Americans do not accept the results of the election. But is that something new, as the Trump-focused analyses would have us believe? No, it is not. Yes, these days, it is Republicans who doubt the results of a presidential...

President Ebrahim Raisi urges formation of a 'fair court' in which former President Trump and other US officials are tried Tehran-Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi has said former President Donald Trump must face justice for his role in the assassination of top general Qassem Soleimani two years ago, or else Iran will have revenge. In a televised speech on Monday, the Iranian president said as the "main criminal and killer" who ordered the deadly drone attack on Soleimani's convoy in Iraq, Trump must face "God's ruling and suffer "qisas" which is the Islamic term for retaliation in kind...

VIDEOS.E. Cupp whined that just the idea of President Trump's January 6 press conference would make her physically ill. However, if a certain mystery guest makes an appearance at the press conference, live or on video, it could send her into ICU.

Former President Donald Trump holds a commanding lead over other potential Republican candidates in the 2024 presidential election, leading Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis by 43 percentage points, a new poll shows. Asked who they would support in the 2024 election, 54 percent of ​Republicans picked Trump, while 11 percent chose DeSantis and 8 percent picked former Vice President Mike Pence. Nikki Haley, the UN ambassador in the Trump administration, came in fourth with 4 percent of support, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at 3 percent, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Texas Gov....

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the U.S. Capitol Thursday to mark the anniversary of last year's riot. The president and vice president will deliver remarks during their appearance at the Capitol for the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol protests, which saw thousands of former President Donald Trump's supporters breach the entrance and flood into the building while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election results.

That's not Jonathan Capehart having a cold/flu/COVID moment in the screencap. It's the MSNBC host, who's also a Washington Post editorial board member, getting verklempt on his show this morning as he agonized over the alleged threat to American democracy posed by Donald Trump and his supporters. During a segment on the coming anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot, Capehart got choked up, saying. "I'm trying to hold it together right now."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

As usual, the liberal-biased, fake news, mainstream media is lying and misrepresenting again. It was only days ago that I published my nationally syndicated (by Creators Syndicate) newspaper column titled, "Celebrate the Trump Christmas Miracle." In that column, I celebrated the greatest political comeback perhaps in history. Trump is back, winning in the polls, beating President Joe Biden. He's more popular and respected than Biden (or the pope) in polls. A majority of voters even agrees there was massive fraud in the 2020 election -- including 41 o percent Democrats. Trump has truly made both a political and financial comeback...

Donald and Melania Trump returned to the New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago after skipping last year's lavish gala in the wake of his election defeat. Sources close to the former president had told DailyMail.com Friday that he was expected to attend this year's black-tie gathering and attendees posted shots of the former first couple at the gala before midnight. Trump was in a tuxedo, with wife Melania in a shimmering silver gown.

Lumping Donald Trump with Osama Bin Laden? That's going too easy on the former president! At least, if you ask CNN's "national security analyst" Juliette Kayyem, a former Obama DHS assistant secretary. Appearing on Thursday morning's New Day, Kayyem said that when a year ago in an Atlantic article she depicted Trump as "the leader of a terror movement," she was, as she recently tweeted, actually being "too kind" to him!Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

For decades, those inclined toward free markets have focused on authoritarianism coming from the political left. We have spared no energy denouncing and opposing it. We've rightfully been concerned about the push to centralize more power in the hands of federal governments and to increase the scope and size of all government. We have warned that these policies, pursued consistently, pave what the great F.A. Hayek called "the road to serfdom." This fight should continue. However, it's time to be equally harsh toward those on the Right who want to use state power to control individuals' choices and destroy those...

Guess what? I scored big for Christmas. I got my number-one gift. Actually, 80 million Trump warriors (aka "deplorables") scored big for Christmas. Because we all asked Santa for a Trump comeback. Well, we got more than we hoped for. Because Trump has made perhaps the biggest comeback in history. And he did it far faster than anyone imagined possible. I call it "The Donald Trump Christmas Miracle." But of course, you'd never know it if you read, watch or listen to mainstream media. Trump's amazing comeback has been buried and blacked out just like stories about Hunter Biden's laptop....

Trump Thanks Biden For Giving Him Credit For Deadly Vaccine Video..

The other day, in an interview with NBC News, Hillary Clinton went public with a warning --or was it a dog whistle to Democrats and the left? It might be an instance of Hillary’s mouth running ahead of her brain, but don’t count on it. Hillary is a coldly calculating woman --and that might be one of her better qualities. Hillary suggested that if Trump or “someone of his ilk” is elected president in 2024, then American democracy is kaput. Foolishness? Knowing the conceits and delusions that infect her intended audience, her suggestion might not seem ludicrous. Hillary’s side listens...

Appearing on Wednesday morning's New Day, CNN political commentator Cupp said that the prospect of Donald Trump holding a press conference on January 6 at Mar-a-Lago makes her "physically ill, nauseous, and afraid."Responding to co-host John Berman's question as to whether congressional Republicans would continue to support Trump, Cupp said: "I have long given up on the sort of the pivot that Republicans will see Jesus, and understand just how dangerous and awful these years of rhetoric and also policy have been...I have long since lost the idea that they'll find religion."Get the rest of the story and view the...

Preaching for Pastor Robert Jeffress at First Baptist Church in Dallas this past Sunday, former President Donald Trump said, “Our country needs a savior right now. And our country has a savior. And it’s not me. It’s somebody much higher up than me. Much higher.” Yes, much, much higher, indeed. Can we say “Amen” to that? The truth be told, the Savior is on a completely different level than Donald Trump (or any other world leader, or human being, for that matter). He is not just much, much higher up. And greater. And wiser. And holier. And more powerful. He...
