President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky apologized to Trump in a letter after a explosive public argument during an Oval Office meeting. “Zelensky sent a letter to the president. He apologized for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office,” Witkoff said Monday on Fox News. “I think that it was an important step and there’s been a lot of discussion between our teams and the Ukrainians and the Europeans who are relevant to this discussion as well.” Witkoff said he thought Zelensky sending Trump a letter to apologize for the fiery meeting was...

Polling guru Nate Silver lashed out at other survey junkies in his field for “cheating” in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election — accusing them of recycling some results to keep the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris close. The FiveThirtyEight founder said irresponsible pollsters were “herding” their numbers, or using past results to affect current ones, to keep Vice President Harris and former President Trump to within a point or two of each other each time. “I kind of trust pollsters less,” Silver said on his podcast, name-checking Emerson College. “They all, every time a pollster...

Joe Biden just stuck up his middle finger and told Americans everywhere: Screw you. In a taped interview that lasted only 22 minutes, the President insisted his dire poll numbers weren't real — 'fake news', if you will — that the Democratic party has no concerns about his fitness to lead, and that the only way he would exit the race is 'if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me'. What — Barack Obama isn't close enough? If Americans had a shred of sympathy for Biden after last week's CNN debate — if they felt that perhaps he didn't...

ST. ALBANS, Vt. (AP) — Vermont has agreed to pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit on behalf of a man who was charged with a crime for giving a state trooper the middle finger in 2018, the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed in 2021 by the ACLU of Vermont on behalf of Gregory Bombard, of St. Albans. It says Bombard’s First Amendment rights were violated after an unnecessary traffic stop and retaliatory arrest in 2018. Trooper Jay Riggen stopped Bombard’s vehicle in St. Albans on Feb. 9, 2018, because he believed...

Video reposted by Fox News reporter Will Cain (who owns property in Maui) shows a group of angry Maui fire survivors giving the middle finger and hurling f-bombs at Joe Biden as his motorcade passed by. It is just one of many hostile receptions given Biden after he took two vacations and repeatedly said “no comment” before finally visiting the fire ravaged Hawaiian island after nearly two weeks. “People keep asking me what the attitude is of people in Maui toward Biden. I’ve heard numerous times today about the traffic and how locked down the island is before his arrival....

Shocking video has emerged showing a transgender man being pummeled and body-slammed to the ground by an LA County sheriff’s deputy earlier this year after he gave the officer the middle finger. Emmett Brock, who is transgender, said the altercation began when he drove past the deputy, who was having a heated conversation with a woman, and flipped him off, according to the LA Times. Seconds later, Brock said, he noticed he was being followed by a sheriff’s cruiser. Brock said he called 911, but a dispatcher allegedly said, “What is that you want us to do? If he hasn’t...

Two left-wing formerly high-ranking U.S. intelligence officials argue an influential media report about their Trump-bashing accusations related to Hunter Biden’s laptop was … wait for it … fake news. Both James Clapper, former national intelligence director, and Thomas Finger, whose career included a stint as chairman of the National Intelligence Council, trotted out Donald Trump’s favorite trope to distance themselves from their efforts to quash the explosive 2020 story uncovered by the New York Post.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday wagged his finger at Republicans who he says aren’t moving fast enough on approving the $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending plan. “I said yesterday, ‘We can do this the easy way or the hard way.’ Yesterday, it appeared that some Republicans would like to do it the hard way,” Schumer (D-New York) said on the Senate floor during a rare Sunday session. His comments came after Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) said Saturday that he wouldn’t “fast-track” the bill before the standard 30 hours of debate on it was up. That decision, if not reversed,...

The trial of a Delaware man who confessed last year to drunkenly snapping off the finger of an ancient Chinese terra-cotta warrior statue at the Franklin Institute ended in a mistrial Tuesday, after the jury reported it was deadlocked on whether prosecutors had charged him under the appropriate law. The panel of seven men and five women spent roughly 11 hours debating the fate of Michael Rohana, 25, of Bear, but was unable to reach a verdict on counts including theft and concealment of an object of cultural heritage. U.S. District Judge Petrese B. Tucker dismissed jurors just after 4:30...

A potentially par-inspired spar erupted in Massachusetts Friday, leading one golfer to bite the finger off of another. A 47-year-old man was arrested and charged with mayhem after taking matters into his own mouth – er, hands – at the Southers Marsh Golf Club in Plymouth, Mass., WCVB reports. He was taken to jail, while his victim – whose thumb was reportedly chomped off to the knuckle – paid a visit to the hospital. Dispatcher audio obtained by WCVB reports that “two foursomes got into an altercation and there’s been a finger that’s been bitten off.” The audio also said...

The bicyclist who was fired after being photographed flipping off President Donald Trump's motorcade last month recounted the gesture that has made her a liberal hero on Wednesday, telling MSNBC it was a "spur-of-the-moment decision." Juli Briskman was photographed on Oct. 28 extending her middle finger toward Trump's motorcade as it departed the Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Va. She flipped off the whole fleet, and then she repeated the gesture when she caught up with the cars again, according to the New York Times. The pictures went viral, and she posted them to her social media accounts. She...
