What a big surprise that a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out! They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations. NOT going to work with me, because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of war fighters and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter.

If you hear a Republican giving this oxygen, change the channel & make a note to never listen to that person again. They are either ignorant or deceived or too stupid to understand - or worse, they are not playing for the right team.

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov confronted billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday over his glaring conflicts of interest as an adviser for President Donald Trump. “So you’ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have open investigations and regulatory battles with your companies,” said “The Five” host of Musk’s push to purge the federal budget of wasteful spending with his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. She continued, “At the same time you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”Tarlov has previously called out the...

A growing rift between Trump and Fox News? NEWSMAX's Bob Brooks takes a look at the combative exchanges and harsh criticisms

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont - champions of the left - repeatedly targeted President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk as they kicked off a three-day swing through three electorally important western states. But Sanders, and especially Ocasio-Cortez, also trained some of their fire on the Democratic Party, with the best-known member of the so-called "Squad" of diverse and progressive House members urging her own party to have "the courage to brawl" against Republicans. And Sanders and Cortez took to the stage at their first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, while...

Republican strategist Karl Rove said President Trump’s claims that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has discovered “hundreds of billions” in government “fraud” will backfire when Democrats spotlight a lack of prosecutions of those involved. During an appearance on Fox News’s “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,” Rove echoed Democratic strategist James Carville’s sentiment that Democrats should “allow the Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight.” In his joint address to Congress last week, Trump criticized the “appalling waste” in government spending, while praising DOGE head and tech billionaire Elon Musk for discovering “hundreds of billions of dollars of...

AG Bondi said that Epstein documents are being held up by a New York FBI field office The Justice Department’s rollout of the Epstein files on Thursday and Friday drew heated criticism from many on social media from those expressing dismay at the level of detail of the files and the time it took to release them.

Various news outlets asked the White House on Feb. 17 to allow the Associated Press to once more attend press events despite its insistence on referring to the Gulf of America as the “Gulf of Mexico”.... But a letter signed by 40 outlets and organized by the White House Correspondents’ Association implored the White House to lift the ban, according to The New York Times....

President-elect Donald Trump says that he wants to work with Democrats on a "plan" to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era order -- echoing a similar push he attempted in 2019. Trump was asked in an interview with NBC News on Sunday about "dreamers," an activist-preferred term for illegal immigrants who arrived as children, and whether they would be included in his plan for mass deportations.

On Thursday's "American Agenda," Greg Kelly discussed his opposition to Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary nomination.

President Trump and Elon Musk are the ultimate dynamic duo. Their partnership might seem random, but it feels like something written in the stars. Ironically, this game-changing collaboration might never have happened if Joe Biden hadn’t snubbed Musk by excluding him from the White House summit on the future of electric vehicles—despite Tesla being responsible for over 70 percent of EV sales. Could this be the perfect opportunity for Elon Musk to swoop in and buy Fox News? The progressive hacks at Vanity Fair seem to think so—and you can bet they’re terrified it might actually happen.

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” network host Trey Gowdy, a former South Carolina congressman, blasted President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gowdy suggested Gaetz was corrupt and said naming a corrupt person to head the Department of Justice would not alleviate the corruption. “Trey, I had Senator Thune on, the incoming Senate majority leader yesterday, and he basically said, listen, it’s not going to be easy,” host Bret Baier said. “Some of these picks are not going to be easy to get through. But there is this mandate just by the vote that...

Big Oil is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement after withdrawing from the treaty during his first term. The Paris Agreement, established at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in 2015, is a legally binding treaty between nearly 195 parties who are committed to international cooperation on climate change. Trump officially withdrew from the treaty in 2020, but the U.S. was reinstated to the climate agreement in 2021 after President Biden took office. After winning a second term in the 2024 election, Trump is expected to consider a second withdrawal from the agreement....

President-elect Donald Trump announced in a public social media post Saturday that he will not be inviting two members of his former administration back to the White House. Nikki Haley, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were both mentioned in the post. The Republicans had been considered two strong candidates for Trump's new Cabinet. "I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation," the president-elect posted on Truth Social early Saturday evening. Despite...

The head of the discredited Fox News decision desk has warned that the presidential election result will likely take around five days. In another complete break from presidential election norms, Fox News pollster Arnon Mishkin has said that he is expecting the race to be called by the Saturday after election day, some five days after the polls have closed. Mishkin, who is a registered New York Democrat and was responsible for the infamous Fox News call in Arizona back in 2020, said in an interview with Politico. The report states: The man who may call the winner of the...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) acknowledged “there are serious challenges in the world” like the tensions in the Middle East and the port strike, but “many of these challenges are as a result of Donald Trump’s policies and things he set in motion and we need serious people right now to address that.” Host Neil Cavuto asked, [relevant exchange begins around 1:00] “[T]his message coming today about, now you have a port strike going on, you’ve got this turbulence in the Middle East again, that seems to be a constant,...

The data shows a significant difference between age groups. Approximately...
