During a portion of an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, President Joe Biden said that he doesn’t think the exit from Afghanistan could have been handled any better and “the idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don’t know how that happens.” ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked, “So, you don’t think this could have been handled — this exit could have been handled better in any way, no mistakes?” Biden responded, “No. I don’t think it could have been handled in a way that — we’re going to go back in hindsight...

President Biden is facing a huge backlash for not taking any questions about the ongoing turmoil in Afghanistan following his coronavirus address to reporters. As the world is watching the panicked withdrawal of Americans from the Taliban-controlled country, Biden focused his remarks on promoting the booster shot for COVID vaccines and mask mandates for children at schools while scolding Republican governors who oppose his agenda. However, the president shocked the nation as he walked away from reporters after he concluded his speech. "Wait!!! Timeout!!!! Did @POTUS leave without taking questions again?!?!? This isn't incompetent leadership... This is no leadership!!!!" Rep....

A top New York state Assembly lawmaker announced Friday that the impeachment investigation against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will be suspended following his resignation. “After consulting with Chair Lavine and my majority colleagues, the Assembly will suspend its impeachment investigation upon the governor’s resignation taking effect on August 25,” New York State Speaker Carl Heastie said in a statement. “There are two reasons for this decision. First, the purpose of the Assembly Judiciary Committee’s impeachment investigation was to determine whether Governor Cuomo should remain in office. The governor’s resignation answers that directive. Second, we have been advised by...

The impeachment inquiry into Governor Andrew Cuomo will not continue after Cuomo leaves office, New York State Assembly speaker Carl Heastie announced Friday. Heastie cited two reasons: First, the investigation was to determine whether Cuomo would remain in office. With Cuomo's pending resignation in less than two weeks, that's no longer an issue. Second, Heastie said New York's constitution may not allow for an impeachment of an official no longer in office. Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday, about a week after New York Attorney General Letitia James said that an independent investigation found that the governor had sexually harassed 11...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is reportedly seeking a deal with state lawmakers to avoid being impeached over a bombshell report on myriad sexual harassment allegations. The report comes one day after Melissa DeRosa, a top aide to Cuomo, announced her resignation. In February, the New York Post reported that DeRosa admitted to lawmakers that her team withheld the number of coronavirus deaths in New York’s nursing homes to protect the Cuomo administration’s from an investigation by then-President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday that he will not resign from his office.New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Tuesday that an independent investigation into Cuomo found that he sexually harassed multiple women in violation of federal and state law.“For over three months, Executive Assistant #1 kept this groping incident to herself and planned to take it “to the grave,”4 but found herself becoming emotional (in a way that was visible to her colleagues in the Executive Chamber) while watching the Governor state, at a press conference on March 3, 2021, that he had never...

We’re about to find out if Democrats believe what they say about having no tolerance for sexual harassment. If they do, then they have little choice other than to move to impeach Andrew Cuomo as Governor of New York. No corporate CEO, or even a junior executive, would survive in the job amid the trail of bullying, groping, leering, unwanted kissing, and suggestive come-ons recorded in the report by six lawyers at two law firms. In one instance, the report says, Mr. Cuomo noticed a female state trooper he fancied at a public event, had her transferred to his personal...

Vindman: 'Direct logic link' to Trump being acquitted during first impeachment and the coronavirus pandemic Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a witness during the Trump impeachment proceedings, claimed on MSNBC the former president is responsible for over 600,000 COVID deaths in America that would have been prevented if he was removed from office. "If the president was held accountable and removed, we would have 600,000 more Americans walking the streets today. If they censured him, the president would have been on his heels, and he probably would have been more cautious going into COVID. We wouldn’t...

Texas Rep. Chip Roy is calling for the impeachment of both President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over their response to the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border over the past six months. "Over the past several months, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have blatantly and consistently refused to do their constitutional duty to take care that the immigration laws be faithfully executed, as required by Article II, endangering countless American and foreign lives in the process," Roy told Fox News Tuesday. After conservative radio host Jesse Kelly described the border crisis as "more impeachable than...

VIDEOFox News has fired its legal analyst, Andrew Napolitano, due to charges he harassed a male employee. Let us skip over the sordid details of the case to consider if Napolitano was blackmailed into supporting the impeachment of President Trump in 2019. It is not beyond the realm of possibility considering the desperation of the Democrats to remove President Trump from office in the wake of their extreme disappointment over the fact that the Mueller Report had just revealed NO Trump-Russia collusion. In this video we see Napolitano, to the surprise of many, strongly supporting impeachment. Was his motivation to...

The leader of the New York State Assembly's impeachment investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo is warning of "severe repercussions" after a senior aide to the governor tweeted alleged "attempts to demean the Attorney General." A tweet from senior Cuomo aide Richard Azzopardi discussing Attorney General Letitia James's potential political ambitions served "to undermine [her] investigation [into Cuomo] and send profoundly negative signals to witnesses," according to a Wednesday letter from Charles Lavine, the chairman of the Assembly's Judiciary Committee, which was addressed to top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa. Lavine's letter said he warned Cuomo's office in a March 15 written...

Republicans who voted earlier this year to impeach former President Trump are outpacing their primary challengers in the money race. Now the 10 House Republicans who broke party lines in the chamber’s January impeachment vote are heading into the second half of 2021 flush with cash, financial reports filed on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show. Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who was ousted from her post as the No. 3 House Republican in May, raked in the most cash of the group in the second quarter of the year, raising nearly $1.9 million and closing out June with...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who led the House managers during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who led them during the second trial, will return to the fore as members of the January 6 commission. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appointed Schiff — one of the most divisive figures in American politics — and Raskin to a select committee to investigate the Capitol riot, after Republicans rejected an effort to create a bipartisan commission, saying its mandate would be too narrow. The GOP wanted to investigate violent unrest throughout the U.S. over the last...

Joe Biden met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He got rolled. Given the lengthy history of pressers where he’s lost his train of thought, you know Putin put the screws to him. Biden is all bark and no teeth—literally. He’s grandpa gums. Putin is not afraid of being gummed to death, no one is. The liberal media tried to spin the G-7 Summit and the entirety of this foreign outing as something positive. It wasn’t. You can’t. And now we have these reports that we might be cutting military aid to Ukraine (via Politico):The Biden White House has temporarily halted...

A new poll published over the weekend indicates that 64% of those surveyed believe it's "time for someone else" to occupy Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) Senate seat, the Des Moines Register reports. Why it matters: Grassley hasn't said yet whether he plans to seek re-election in 2022, but with an evenly divided Senate, "Iowa's race is one of the most closely watched" in the country, according to Politico.

A Michigan court has ruled that a recall effort against Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a woman with no moral or leadership character, can proceed. That’s good news.However, it is the response from the governor that appears to be the buried lead. Specifically because the statement also included “courts” and the “ballot Box”, the third line of attack from the governor’s office implies acts of violence “on the streets” against her political opposition.MICHIGAN –Recall petitions against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer can proceed, a Michigan court ruled on Thursday.The Board of State Canvassers “correctly” approved the six recall petitions against Whitmer and one against...

Rudolph W. Giuliani says that the FBI secretly spied on his Apple iCloud account beginning in late 2019 when he was having regular messaging conversations with his client, President Trump, during House impeachment proceedings. Mr. Giuliani said the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan on Thursday informed his attorney, Robert Costello, that covert wiretapping took place. Mr. Giuliani, once the mob-fighting top prosecutor in New York and then the city’s mayor, said an assistant U.S. attorney made the disclosure because the operation will have to be detailed in court. The penetration happened under the Trump administration and then-Attorney General William P....
