Left-wing streaming personality Hasan Piker sued conservative commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, seeking at least $72.5 million over accusations that he supported lynching black Americans. The complaint, filed October 27 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, requests at least $27.5 million in compensatory damages and $45 million in punitive damages. Piker also demanded a jury trial. The lawsuit concerns an August 11 broadcast of The Scott Jennings Show and subsequent social media posts. Piker alleges that Jennings used edited livestream footage and added a fabricated quotation to portray sarcastic remarks as support for racial violence. The...

Leftist gaming site commentator Hasan Piker and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., met up in Minnesota to cohost a campaign event on Monday night, bashing President Donald Trump's administration as well as Democrats who are willing to work with him. Piker, who streams his commentary on Twitch, called Republicans "terrorists" during the event, and Omar referred to the party as the "pedophile protection party." They made the comments during a Q&A session led by failed Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh. "Trump's obsession with us started in 2016, when he arrived at the airport and begged for our vote. We said, no...

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) joked with Hasan Piker that the media is fixated on her because of her “good” looks Monday ahead of a controversial event with the far-left antisemitic streamer. Omar made the remark during Piker’s livestream of his green-room couch conversation with the “Squad” rep before they took the stage at the event hosted by socialist Minnesota state lawmaker Omar Fateh. “I feel like the media has a tendency, you know, to highlight everything that you do,” Piker told Omar during their chummy conversation. “Some of the things that I do, like – we’re just normal Americans...

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is set to share the stage with far-left streamer Hasan Piker on Monday night despite mounting opposition from fellow Minnesota Democrats, some of whom have publicly urged the congresswoman to cancel the appearance just eight days before the midterm elections. Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., has called Piker's rhetoric "polarizing and dangerous" and said embracing him is "a mistake," while Sen. Amy Klobuchar's gubernatorial campaign called a number of his past statements "reckless and unacceptable." Other Democratic officials and party groups have gone further, calling on Omar and state Sen. Omar Fateh, who is hosting the sold-out...

There was an ad put out in support of Democrat Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed that has been getting a lot of attention and earning a lot of ire. It came from Rebellion PAC, which was co-founded by leftist Young Turks online show co-creator Cenk Uygur, who is the uncle of far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. The ad is supporting El-Sayed, who campaigned and shared quality time with Piker during the primary. The clip features a couple in a grocery store deciding what to buy and saying they have to put the eggs back because that money has to be...

The CIA contractor accused of leaking classified intelligence to his lefty journalist girlfriend could face 10 years in prison — all for posts that appeared to have netted just dozens of likes on her Substack. Ian Brinksman, 42, was accused of exploiting his access to sensitive US intelligence and acquiring reports unrelated to his duties — including sensitive intel on Israel — for the sake of passing them along to his romantic partner to help bolster her career, prosecutors claimed. While officials did not name the girlfriend, the intel involved and dates match up with at least five reports published...

This is the problem with mixing religion with politics, and it’s the problem I’ve always had with Turning Point USA. While I still think Charlie Kirk was sincere in his Christian beliefs, I think the way he approached politics was extremely flawed. For example, Kirk once platformed an open, practicing homosexual who called himself a “gay Christian” while living openly in rebellion against God. While sitting on stage with him, Charlie Kirk never corrected him. In fact, he affirmed him. And while I don’t think it’s wrong to stand with non-Christians or people of other religions on certain shared political...

Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker was recently grilled on a satirical internet show—and the clips it generated were gold. “Now, Karl Marx said, ‘To each according to his needs.’ You live in a $2.7 million house,” the host said. “Why are your needs more important than 90% of other Californians?” Piker appeared uncomfortable as he answered—and it wasn’t because he was fully decked out in a Mao suit. To put it simply, proudly sporting the uniform of a regime that took the lives of an estimated 80 million people, all while enjoying the prosperity of a $2.7 million house and...

The most stunning part of the Rep. Ilhan Omar search warrant comes from an unusual place… the name.The search warrant names her as Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi aka Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.

Islamic Gaza GenoLIE: Selective Outrage / Falsehood PropagandaPolitical Islam's Hatred If the anti-Hamas war in Gaza had been conducted by non-Jews, would any prominent Arab or Muslim figure or organization be speaking so loudly about it? Of course not. They didn't—and don't—care about the 700,000 Syrians, the Uyghurs under China, or the millions of victims in Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, and Nigeria, or the 140,000 people killed by Iran's regime, among others. Have these same figures and organizations seriously confronted guilty Arab-Palestine dictatorship leadership Hamas's role in Gazan civilian deaths—its military tactics, its conduct of the war, and the consequences of...

-- Benny Johnson's the host of the Benny Johnson show. So, a lot of push back over this woke BS, isn't there? . -- How about He's calling everybody racist and they're like, "How many black friends do you [laughter] have?" You couldn't name one. Yeah, dude. You love China. How many blacks are living in China today? It's a great question. You're wearing a Mao Zedong outfit. That's supporting a actual genocide state. He continues to scream about genocide[sic]. Maybe it was him in the Jerry Seinfeld show. Have we checked on that guy? Do we have an idea...

The Left’s cries of “genocide” against Israel ring hollow when many of its loudest critics ignore the far bloodier histories of their own ancestral homelands. On October 7, 2023, Hamas killers slaughtered 1,200 people, more than two-thirds of them civilians, inside Israel. For the ensuing three weeks, they refused Israel’s demands to turn over the 251 hostages and to surrender the architects of the massacre. No matter—within a day of the attacks, when Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops on Israeli soil, the American Left was already screaming “genocide!” They did not mean Hamas’s intended genocide of Jews, a...

AUSTIN, Texas — A 40-year-old man was arrested in Texas early Wednesday on suspicion of plotting to attack the state Capitol, authorities said, in an act reportedly motivated by anger at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobby group. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a statement that it received “credible information about an individual planning a violent attack” for Thursday in Austin. Officials did not provide details about the alleged plot, citing an ongoing investigation. The tip came in Tuesday evening, and SWAT officers made the arrest at about 3 a.m. Wednesday...

Hasan Piker says he'll make sure James Talarico follows his far-Left agenda if he becomes a Senator: "After James Talarico wins...we have to remind him that...we are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power, and if he wants to maintain it he’s got to play ball.” So every vile anti-American position that Piker takes can rightfully be hung around the neck of Talarico and the rest of the Democrat candidates that have sold their souls to satan’s minions in the Democratic Socialist of America party.

Earlier, “progressive” LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman used the "genocide" slur with Hasan Piker.  Appearing on Sep 29, 2026 in a Jewish forum by the Jewish Federation, Raman was asked whether she would appear with someone who was anti-Christian or anti-Muslim, as she had appeared with the antisemitic Hasan Piker. She said yes, explaining that “we need to hear a wide variety of opinions.”  So she was asked about her use of the word “genocide.”  She answered, “I’m not an expert on this term, but I’ve seen experts calling it a genocide. I looked it up, and...

This is who Abdul El-Sayed is. He refused to disavow Hasan Piker, who had said that America deserved 9/11, he made excuses for the Muslim terrorist who tried to kill 100 Jewish preschoolers at a synagogue, and he continues attending events with outright supporters of terrorism. “I pray one day, Inshallah, Allah will bless us to raise an army and I’m serious about this. We were very close, recently. We had made intention to raise an army of 10,000 men in NY City. Muslim men to go fight…And the day is going to come, when that happens,” the ISNA speaker...

In his September 24, 2026, address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s strikes on Iran and its conduct in Gaza, describing the years since October 7 as a seven-front war. Recalling the Six-Day War and his brother Yoni’s role in the Entebbe rescue, he repeated the refrain, “We have no other choice.” Delegates staged a walkout as the speech began, prompting Netanyahu to invite any remaining “moral cowards” to leave. He praised President Donald Trump, rejected accusations of genocide, and sharply criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Qatar, and Turkey. He also voiced support for...

In a campaign speech, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz acknowledged that "the era of unconditional love that the US has shown to Europe since World War II are over. The generosity that every US president since Truman has shown toward Germany and our fellow European states has been ended by the cruelty of President Trump. Fortunately, the defensive shield from Russian aggression provided by US arms is no longer needed. The hundreds of billions that shield saved us permitted us to provide ample social welfare benefits that would otherwise not have been possible." Merz went on to mock Trump's "humiliation by...

America’s unrivaled prosperity and freedom make it hard for us to understand why everyone doesn’t want to live and think as we do. Even leftists in the United States who routinely assail our history and institutions share this mindset. Their true ideology might be said to be cognitive dissonance. While they spout Marxist dogma, their very viability hinges on keeping the blessings and fruits of our current system. The difference is their belief that they should be the ones to command and distribute them. The problem, of course, is that they may likely kill the golden egg-laying goose in the...

It’s easy to see why Abdul El-Sayed wants to separate himself from left-wing streamer Hasan Piker. In an interview with Axios, Piker said that he believes the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had a nuclear weapon. .@AlexThomp: "Do you think the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had a nuclear weapon?"Hasan Piker: "I believe yes."(the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism) pic.twitter.com/S8uaLJEBMC— Sarah Gallagher (@sgallz_) September 17, 2026Piker said that America conducts more terror than Al-Qaeda.
