Harris has not made a final decision, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill. One source said that the possibility of entering the race has put “a glimmer in her eyes.” “She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good,” said one source who spoke to Harris about a potential run. Another source reportedly “pushed back” on the notion that Harris would enter the race, they told The Hill: Either way, the sources say Harris is sticking to a self-imposed end-of-summer deadline...

Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax Friday that the Central Park Five may come to regret filing a defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump, calling the case both legally tenuous and politically risky for the plaintiffs. A federal judge refused to dismiss a defamation lawsuit against Trump filed by the exonerated Central Park Five over his past public remarks. Appearing on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” Dershowitz said that the Central Park Five men were not completely innocent and that new scrutiny could expose details they’d rather keep buried. “This is going to be a very hard case for...

BAFTA Film Awards host and Doctor Who star David Tennant took several shots at President Donald Trump during Sunday’s ceremony, labeling Trump a “villain” and making jokes about his hair. During Tennant’s opening monologue at the BAFTA Film Awards, the actor spoke about films such as The Brutalist and The Apprentice, among others. Tennant described The Brutalist as being “a film about incredible architecture,” adding that “apart from” Trump’s hair in the film The Apprentice, it was “the boldest architecture in film.” “Let’s make some noise for the sublime, The Brutalist,” Tennant said during his speech. “A film about incredible...

Those, he specified, are, "Equality, democracy, civility, compassion, tolerance, sustainability, open-mindedness, gratitude, freedom, integrity, and justice." "In short, in the public opinion of the CEO of SkiCo, the election represents a triumph of the opposite of all that. It represents a triumph of inequality, anti-democracy, incivility, unsustainability, close-mindedness, ingratitude, tyranny, and injustice," the report said. "He fails to explain how an open election, in which a candidate won a majority of both the people and the Electoral College, is anti-democratic. Perhaps he meant anti-Democrat." And, the report notes, there was the condemnation of "half the country with whose votes he...

Missy, Kimba, Lucky, LouLou, and Jambo have lived in Colorado Springs for decades in the elephant exhibit at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Now an animal rights group is trying to release the elephants from what they say is essentially a prison for such highly intelligent and social animals known to roam for miles a day in the wild. Colorado's highest court will hear arguments Thursday on whether the older African female elephants should be legally able to challenge their captivity under a long-held process used by prisoners to dispute their detention. The animal rights group NonHuman Rights Project says the...

Where Kamala Harris falls in those categories is anyone’s guess, but one thing is perfectly clear: she does not have any core beliefs and has not done the work to even form them. Why is anyone’s guess, but I suspect it has to do with an ability to skate by without doing it. Most people will do just what is required to get what they want, which is why wildly successful people who work their asses off even after remarkable success are exceedingly rare. Kamala has dined out on the idea that she’s “historic,” but never that she’s successful. It’s...

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg suffered a meltdown on ABC’s “The View” while discussing the new Ten Commandments law in Louisiana. Louisiana’s new law mandates that all public school classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities, display the Ten Commandments. On Thursday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Goldberg raged about the law after it was passed this week. Goldberg argued that if people wanted their children to see the Ten Commandments on the wall, they should “send them to a religious school.” Get out of my school!” Goldberg yelled. “You’re telling me you’re concerned about children learning things — one of the things...

Electric vehicle (EV) maker Lucid Motors announced that the company would be laying off staff in a bid to lower expenses amid a slowdown in the market. The layoffs will affect 6% of its workforce, equating to around 400 employees, and will trim from all employee levels, including leadership and mid-level management, according to a filing submitted Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Lucid is one of several EV makers to announce layoffs in recent months as consumers decline to adopt the product at the rate expected. The company estimates that it will have to pay out between...

A viral clip of an interview with President Joe Biden’s economic adviser Jared Bernstein shows the official struggling to explain why the U.S. government chooses to borrow money when it can just print more. "The government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money … by selling bonds. Is that what they do? They sell bonds, yeah, they sell bonds. Right? Since they sell bonds, and people buy the bonds and lend them the money," Bernstein, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, said when asked why the federal government borrows currency it can print. "I guess I’m just,...

The Biden administration’s well-funded push to build out a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers has so far resulted in only a handful of installations, according to The Washington Post. The bipartisan infrastructure bill of 2021 allotted $7.5 billion to subsidize thousands of EV chargers to help the administration’s goal of having EVs constitute 50% of all new cars sold in 2030, but only seven stations in total have been built in four states to date, according to the Post. The slow rollout of the EV charger funding is unfolding as the Biden administration has recently issued stringent emissions...

Every election there are a few celebrities who try to interfere in the vote by threatening to their fans they will move out of the United States if a candidate, usually a Republican, wins. They never follow through, despite social media volunteers who would help them pack. But now that attitude has spread, and a new polling shows that one in five Democrats would be "anxious" about their "qualify of life" if President Donald Trump wins in November and "would consider moving away." The polling results were delivered early to Washington Secrets writer Paul Bedard.

Vice President Kamala Harris recently traveled to Florida to falsely claim the state's new curriculum on African-America history paints slavery as "beneficial." The curriculum is 216-pages long and extremely thorough, yet Harris took a single sentence completely out of context for political purposes. Now, she's being fact checked by Dr. William Allen -- a man who helped write the curriculum and a descendent of slaves. During a recent radio interview, Allen was asked if the wording of the curriculum should be changed after Harris' criticism. The answer is no. "My great grandfather is someone who came from the islands and...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in mid-July that some Muslims’ opposition to LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education is being fueled by American right-wingers, video shows. Just when you thought Trudeau couldn’t offend any more people, or do something even stupider than that haircut he got in 2022, he outdid his own stupidity in spectacular fashion. While speaking with Muslim Canadians at a mosque in Calgary in mid-July, he seemingly lectured his constituents on why they feel the way they do about Pride events in the education system, according to a video shared on social media. “People on social media,...

Liberal crybaby and Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz deserves an Emmy nominee for her act at an airport after surviving a “dangerous” encounter with an unmasked passenger. The liberal complained via Twitter in a long-winded series of tweets that TSA agents at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York asked passengers to remove their masks before they stepped up to the security desk. Lorenz described the situation as “dangerous” and “insane,” causing her to hold her breath for several seconds as she approached security. Nevertheless, however, she survived the traumatizing experience. “I can’t believe they're doing stuff like this in...

Leftist former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has finally come about his “civil rights” agenda after it emerged that he’s been working with prominent Marxists on his new book. In an interview with journalist Indigo Olivier for the New Republic, Kaepernick gave up the game when he defended partnering with leading Marxists to edit a new pro-black studies anthology. Kaepernick, whose estimated net worth is $20 million, says he’s working with Marxists because “black liberation simply isn’t possible under capitalism.” Ironically, the “free agent” football player has already earned $3 million in corporate sponsorship deals this year alone. During his new...

Wearing a shirt reading “no more dead trans kids,” a transgender activist glued themselves to the floor at Oxford University Tuesday during a speech that called for men to be prohibited from women’s bathrooms, according to the Guardian. Dr. Kathleen Stock, a British philosopher who speaks out against the transgender movement, spoke at Oxford University stating that it is not “fair” to women when biological men use their restrooms because it brings threats of violence, according to the Guardian. Nearly 100 trans activists protested ahead of the speech holding signs that read “our existence is not a debate”, “take stock...

Jane Fonda blamed men – and racism – for climate change during a conversation at this year's Cannes Film Festival, arguing that without the patriarchy, the crisis allegedly of epic proportions would cease to exist. "This is serious," she said Saturday. "We’ve got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest — Global South, people on islands, poor people of color. It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail...

Could it be that union bosses are finally waking up to the cold reality that the greatest threat to steel workers, the United Auto Workers, miners, machinists and the Teamsters is the radical climate change agenda of the environmentalists? The green movement has taken the Democratic Party hostage -- and President Joe Biden's all-in embrace of far-left green policies is wreaking havoc on rank-and-file union jobs. The United Auto Workers recently announced it would withhold its endorsement of Biden as he runs for a second term. "The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings...

This column will be timely whenever you read it. Some horrible mass shooting will be in the headlines; one always is. Followed inevitably by pathetic wails of pain. “Do something!” But there is nothing we can do today to end or even reduce the carnage inflicted on America by gun violence. Neither the no-longer-shocking massacres in our schools, bars and businesses nor the torrent of 53 “regular” gun murders daily is going away any time soon. Thoughts and prayers won’t stop it, “reasonable gun regulation” won’t, even if we could get such laws passed, which we can’t. We are trapped...

While Americans are focusing on Bud Light and its uber-woke transgender marketing stunt, it should be remembered that nearly every major U.S. brand promulgates the LGBT agenda. To highlight that fact, the CEO of Levi's recently affirmed that his company is proud to push radical gender politics and is even expanding its "gender-fluid" line of clothing despite the backlash against Bud Light. Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh spoke at an Axios event in San Francisco on Wednesday where he was asked about the boycott against Bud for teaming with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney. "How do you market...
