"Every time I watch The View, I become even more misogynistic." — Laura Loomer. Saint Jake Tapper.Bad as it was, “Joe Biden,” the figment president, was merely one manifestation of a nation made mad by power-seeking demons, real-live, ill-intentioned human beings driving a runaway political machine, the party of hoaxes, hustles, and hatred. The country is just now struggling to exit a convulsion of mass mental illness. The demons are still there, though, and still hard at work trying to drag you all back into mass formation. A central mystery is how the news media made itself the enemy of...

If chutzpah could take human form, it would strongly resemble CNN’s Jake Tapper. The recent spectacle of Tapper making the rounds on the interview circuit to promote his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Alex Thompson, has such a wolf-in-the-henhouse feel to it that both the interview tour and the five-years-too-late investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline simply must involve sinister, ulterior motives. Sure enough, in an interview posted to the social media platform X Friday, Tapper revealed those motives. ... “This applies to Donald Trump,...

CNN host Jake Tapper said Thursday on “The Lead” that when former President Donald Trump calls Vice President Kamala Harris lazy, it was a “racist trope about African-Americans.” Tapper said, “Former President Trump is at the border today blasting Vice President Harris, take a listen.” In Arizona, Trump said, “We had a border czar who was the border czar. She loved the title, but she didn’t want to do the work because she’s lazy and probably more importantly than being lazy, she wants have an open border.” Tapper said, “Lazy that’s a new one. I hadn’t heard him use that...

CNN was just handed a slew of legal defeats in the $1 billion defamation case against them. On Monday, Judge William Scott Henry of Florida’s 14th Circuit Court sided with Plaintiff and Navy veteran Zachary Young on multiple motions against CNN, including compelling them to turn over their journalistic conduct guidelines, compelling them to comply with turning over documents necessary for financial discovery, and - much to the chagrin of CNN’s counsel - a deposition of anchor Jake Tapper. (snip) Judge Henry came down hard on CNN’s effort to keep Tapper from being deposed. When issuing his ruling, the Judge...

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) left CNN anchor Jake Tapper speechless after he highlighted President Donald Trump’s foreign policy record during an appearance on “State of the Union” on Sunday. Tapper, who attempted to resurrect the “Russian collusion” hoax and frame Trump as a Vladimir Putin sympathizer, was put firmly back in his place.

Joe Biden started blubbering about billions, millions, trillions on some spending fiasco. Of course, Jake Tapper did not follow up on anything no matter how stupid or dishonest it was. WATCH:

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Thursday on his show “The Lead” it is “wild” that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is so “untethered from all of the facts and evidence” she still believes former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Tapper said, “Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist, and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, met today with Jan. 6 House Select Committee.

Tapper said, “Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has long been known as a very conservative activist.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” reacted to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) denial about his conversation with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), in which he said he would recommend that then-President Donald Trump should resign. Tapper said, “Moments ago at the press conference on the border. You asked McCarthy about the big story involving McCarthy. The audio revealing that he had, in fact, told House Republicans that he would recommend that Donald Trump resign after January 6.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Monday on his show “The Lead” that it was “a little bit frustrating” people were demanding schools be open without making sure all the kids, teachers, faculty, and staff are vaccinated.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Wednesday on his show “The Lead” that members of Congress forwarding a “fringe conspiracy theory” about a man named Ray Epps, were not members of the high IQ society, Mensa International. Tapper said, “This is a fringe conspiracy theory, but I have to ask you because it’s showing up at congressional hearings raised by House and Senate Republicans. An Arizona man, Ray Epps, has become a target of what appears to be a completely baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that he was an undercover FBI agent or informant or operative at the Capitol on January 6...
