Scott Pelley, a veteran of 37 years at CBS, denounced Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss for "interfering with my freedom to report the news the way I see fit. Her demand that I include both sides of contentious issues broke faith with the essential DNA of the '60 Minutes' program. For decades we were routinely allowed to determine what we reported rather than be compelled to give any attention to ideas or information we thought was out-of-line with our version of the truth." "For my candor, I got fired by '60 Minutes' executive producer Nick Bilton," Pelley complained. "I have to say...

VIDEOMeet Daniel Moraff. The weirdo Commie with the beyond annoying Valley Girl Vocal Fry who has been choosing the Democrat candidates including the really, really ANGRY Graham Platner who has a "dark history" that has encompassed his entire life. As for the infamous tattoo, Moraff's blatantly GUILTY look on his face reveals that he knows he will be facing a massive lawsuit by the donors for not revealing that information when he knew it.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Az) has introduced the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, HR 8158. Ansari called it "part of my Healthy, Equity, Rights (HER) package. It covers pregnancy terminations, menstrual pain, miscarriages, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, IUD insertions, vasectomies, fertility treatments and biopsies. My bill has 28 co-sponsors." Ansari said "pain related to periods, in particular, is something that I have dealt with for many, many years. Women's pain, whether from periods, from endometriosis, from the number of reproductive healthcare issues that exist, is severely underfunded and under-researched and therefore we don't have many solutions." Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), a co-sponsor of...

VIDEOIt's not corruption. It's TRADITION! As the host of "Meet The Press" Kristen Welker explains, "That's how they count the votes in California."

Given its oft-proclaimed calling as a peace project, the European Union can sound oddly bellicose when it sets about crafting policy. There are trade and fiscal “bazookas” to blast away crises, “silver bullet” solutions for every problem, and “nuclear options” to be used as a last resort. Yet in the absence of an EU army or even a police force, the pen-wielding Eurocracy rarely gets its hands on anything that looks like an actual weapon. The only exception—tellingly—is the club’s border-patrol agency. For over a decade after it was founded in 2005, Frontex agents wielded little more than whistles and...

VIDEOAfter the IMMENSE viewer blowback to NBCLA TV pretending there was nothing suspicious about the L.A. mayoral vote count which was highlighted in the previous DUmmie FUnnies video, pompous blowhard Conan Dolan had to go to the convenient fallback position that while the election was honestly run it did have "terrible optics." That "Terrible Optics" mantra was recited several times as if that somehow explains the irregularities away. Of course, what are the chances that Conan Nolan would actually lead an election integrity campaign to require valid voter ID, no mail ballots allowed after election day, and end to ballot...

In a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting in Washington, DC, Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham (NM) claimed "if women — Democratic women — just show up and vote, we're good. We don't need any of the men. We have more women and women of color elected in New Mexico than anywhere else in the country. We have the most female legislature." "Don't get me wrong," the Governor said. "I want the men's votes. I am greedy. Losing anyone's vote — and that's been, I think, part of the Democratic Party's national branding problem. I just...

While election night vote counts on Tuesday night showed City Councilwoman Nithya Raman far behind in the race for Los Angeles Mayor, as we go into the 4th day of counting her numbers are picking up and betting odds markets predict she will overtake Spencer Pratt for second place and qualify for the November runoff. Raman attributed her surge to her strong advocacy for bike lanes, saying "the people who mocked me will see that I have the winning formula for bringing the City back from the baleful performance of Mayor Bass and the whimsical delusions of low crime and...

VIDEOOne of the most amusing aspects of the VOTE FRAUD being perpetrated in plain sight in California is reading the viewer comments on videos of TV news shows that pretend there is NO fraud at all. An example is this video of NBCLA in which pompous blowhard Conan Nolan made a fool of himself defending the "integrity" of California's NO ID mass mail ballots. As you can see in the viewer responses they are aren't putting up with the BS with the overwhelming number of posts expressing extreme skepticism about validity of the California elections.The responses to this NBCLA video...

VIDEOLet's see... The network news shows, especially the Sunday CNN shows have been talking incessantly about the California elections, both the L.A. mayoral election and the gubernatorial election, for weeks yet on the first Sunday after the elections with the third place DEMOCRAT candidates "miraculously" surging up the mail-in ballots towards second place to the runoff elections, NOT A WORD from them about those elections. Why would that be? This video helps clear up the mystery as to why CNN is now completely silent about the elections that they have been obsessed with for weeks... until now. NBC also appeared...

Lydia Grant, president of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council, announced that "funding for our annual Fourth of July parade has been pulled by Mayor Bass. We've been doing this parade for over 50 years. I was very shocked because the mayor herself said to contact her staff to get it done. Then they started ignoring us. This has never happened before." Bass blamed Trump for the cancellation, saying "since President Trump has made such a big deal about this being the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence I felt duty bound to thwart his ambition to make this year's observation...

The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) brushed aside the negative aspects of his Party's prospective nominee for the US Senate seat in Maine, saying "yeah, he's had some troubling behaviors. First there was the Nazi tattoo on his chest. I mean, who does that? Then there is the revelation that he's been unfaithful in his marriage. This isn't so unusual. Congress has a special fund to pay off the women that are abused by its members. Finally, there is his boast that he would rape anyone who breaks into his house to demonstrate his dominance. These aren't the words that I would...

U.S. influencers and an administration official arrived in Russia just as Vladimir Putin, the country’s president, needed a publicity boost. The small group of Americans flew in as the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, or SPIEF, often dubbed Russian Davos, opened on June 3 in the port city. The annual conference serves as a promotional vehicle for the country as Putin seeks to project strength and global power. Officials say this year they are receiving 20,000 guests from over 100 countries, with 76 countries sending high-level representatives. Putin has increasingly faced setbacks on the battlefield as a Ukrainian drone strike...

This week, Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman said "we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a de-MAGAfication similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War II in Germany." "The purge can be done peacefully like the one Stalin carried out in the 1930s to rid the Soviet Union of counterrevolutionaries or violently like the one carried out by Lenin in the years following the Russian Revolution," Krugman suggested. "Trump's MAGA minions know they are guilty of trying to undo the transformation of the United States initiated by former...

After Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate last month, it wasn’t surprising that Republicans launched a barrage of attacks against Democratic nominee James Talarico. What was surprising, though, and troubling, is that they attacked not Talarico’s record or past rhetoric, but his masculinity. Paxton got things rolling on election night, calling him “Tofu Talarico,” “James Tala-freako,” and “low-T Talarico.” Trump aide Stephen Miller piled on, suggesting that Talarico was transgender. Others insinuated that he was secretly gay and that his girlfriend was fictional. (This is a bold strategy, because...

The Texas Democrat nominee for the US Senate James Talarico complains that "state laws limiting voting to citizens who must have valid IDs severely deters the voters I want to represent. I believe that every human has an inalienable right to choose those who will rule over him or her. This includes the huddled masses that have trekked thousands of miles to enter our country. Some states recognize this right. California, for example expressly prohibits voter IDs because individuals who have made this trek are not citizens and don't have the kind of valid IDs Texas is requiring." Talarico criticized...

In an effort to regain control over the people who work for the state government, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has ordered them to report to work at the offices the government has provided for them four days per week. "It has been four years since the pandemic ended," Newsom argued. "The original reason for allowing them to work from home--help prevent the spread of covid--is no longer valid. I've been more than patient. We need these workers to be on the job and under direct supervision to make sure they're really working." The union of California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges...

President Trump's attempt to donate the $1.8 billion settlement he reached with the Internal Revenue Service for publicly releasing his personal income tax data to an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that would make compensation payments to individuals wrongly targeted by the government has run into some opposition. Virginia US District Judge Leonie Brinkema has issued an order saying "the administration cannot take any action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund." California...

In Los Angeles, City firefighters are lashing out at Mayor Karen Bass' neglect to sufficiently budget for fire safety. Councilwoman Traci Park, the lone dissenter on the City Council's priorities for spending said "here we are a year and a half after the worst disaster in our city's history, and our fire department investments are being deferred. Our firefighters are being asked to do more with less. Response times have lengthened. Work shifts have become longer and some paychecks have been missed." The Mayor insisted that "the fact that Park is consistently one vote against the fifteen other Council members...
