"The White House and some Republicans in Congress have accused NPR of promoting a liberal bias. How do you respond?" NPR CEO Katherine Maher: "We're a nonpartisan news organization. We do not seek to favor any political party at all." Does anyone actually believe this???

Democrats are trapped by the toxic DEI ideology they created—too afraid to reform, too broken to survive without it. A few Democrat officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people. The Biden administration killed what was left of it in a number of ways. First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden, both while in and after office. Only when caught did the complicit media fess up that the Biden inner circle serially misled the American people...

In a rare moment of honesty from the left, retiring Democrat Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado is sounding the alarm — not about Republicans, but about the crumbling state of his own party. During a CNN interview on Sunday, Bennet torched the Democratic brand, admitting what millions of Americans already know: today’s Democratic Party is out of touch, unpopular, and fundamentally failing. . . . Bennet, who is positioning himself for a gubernatorial run in Colorado in 2026, didn’t hold back. He expressed “fury” at his party’s inability to defeat Trump, even after years of media smears, endless investigations, and...

Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with...

NewsNation political contributor Chris Cillizza said Thursday that fresh polling data paints a dire picture for the Democratic Party. Just roughly one-third of Democrats said they were “very optimistic” or “somewhat optimistic” regarding the future of their own party, according to a Wednesday poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Cillizza said on his YouTube channel that this survey, alongside another poll, underscores how damaged the party has become. WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK.................. “The extent to which Democrats, Democrats think the Democratic brand is broken is pretty stunning to me, and we have a bunch of...

A tense video emerged of a Massachusetts ICE arrest being disrupted by a crowd of about 25 people in what police are calling a "chaotic incident." Footage captured Thursday in Worcester shows a group of residents chanting "don’t take the mother!" and "no warrant!" after a woman was led into an SUV by uniformed ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. Before the vehicle can pull away, other women are seen placing their hands on the front hood of an SUV and screaming in protest. At one point, a CBP agent and a bystander start shoving each other as...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” ABC News Contributor and former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile said that Democrats didn’t hold an open primary to determine their nominee in 2024 after then-President Joe Biden dropped out of the race because there was an assumption that then-candidate Trump’s convictions would tarnish him enough to ensure he lost “And they thought that it was going to be an easier task and that it wouldn’t matter.” While discussing Biden’s recent interviews and the 2024 presidential race, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) stated, “I think, for the Democrats, if they had an open...

"There are very, very few people in the West who seriously believe that".. The Associated Press complains that President Trump is calling their political allies “Communists”. For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values. In 2025, communism wields big influence in countries such as China, Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba. But not the United States. “The core of communism is the belief that governments can...

For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values.Why? Trump himself explained the strategy last year when he described how he planned to defeat his Democratic opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, in the White House election.“All we have to do is define our opponent as being a communist or a socialist or somebody who is going to destroy our country,” he told reporters at his New...

The Democrat sponsor of an unprecedented third impeachment attempt of President Donald Trump has a big problem – his own party. Just when liberals finally felt like they were gaining some political momentum after sweeping Republican victories last November, any progress may have already been washed away. On April 28, Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) officially introduced articles of impeachment against Trump, instantly sending the Washington media into a frenzy and the House Democrat caucus into chaos. While Democrats’ first two impeachment cases were thin, bordering on nonexistent, they at least revolved around specific allegations against Trump. This time, however, Thanedar...

We just covered how Fannie Mae fully dismantled its ESG team and program. Now it appears that Freddie Mac has followed suit. Freddie Mac’s main ESG (environmental, social, and governance) webpage and a recent ESG-related article have been taken down from the website... When we first reported on ESG policies for the Fortune 100 in early April, all 100 companies had an active ESG policy... With Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dismantling their teams, that number is now at 98. Will this move trigger a cascade of similar changes?

Even the most "normal" among them have no choice but to fall in line. The rage and hysteria are escalating. They’re openly calling for Trump’s assassination. They’re marching, they’re protesting, they’re screaming into the void for what, they don’t know. Something has been taken from them, something they desperately want back. It’s been ten long years of fighting, but nothing has worked. There is no way out for them. They’re trapped. If you talk to one of them, they will tell you they believe things that aren’t true. Trump is taking away Social Security and Medicaid. They’ve eliminated the National...

Democrats are scrambling to craft new strategies to get back into power after their ignominious defeat in 2024. Folks on the left have finally decided to give up on identity politics and focus on solutions – okay, I can’t finish this sentence with a straight face. But I tried, and that should count for something, shouldn’t it, dear reader? The truth is, Democrats continue to show they have failed to learn their lessons after Republicans beat them like Mike Tyson whupped Peter McNeely in last year’s elections. Instead of looking inward and figuring out where they went wrong, the left...

On Monday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Prime,” host Symone Sanders commented on the arson attack against Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) by stating that while we don’t know the exact motives of the attacker, “The people that ratcheted the temperature up, the folks that should have been the loudest here” are in the Oval Office and after the attempted assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump “you had Democrats bending over backwards to say, we have to take the temperature down, we have to bring the temperature down, when they weren’t even the people that ratcheted the temperature up.” Sanders said, “[W]e don’t...

New York City has a mayoral election later this year, and the two leading candidates right now are former governor Andrew Cuomo and a state assemblyman named Zohran Mamdani. The latter has gained traction in the polls by promising to build city-run grocery stores that “will operate without profit motive” in order to combat “the outrageous price of groceries.” Leave it to the residents of Gotham to pin their hopes on either the guy who turned nursing homes into COVID death traps or a proud communist who is blithely unaware of the Soviet Union’s history with breadlines. In response to...

Today’s Left is at peak political insanity. Who could imagine massive rallies supporting government bureaucratic bloat and wasteful spending? Or that young women, undoubtedly feminists, protesting on behalf of Muslim terrorists? Why do public officials defend boys participating in girls’ sports? Why would climate activists vandalize Tesla despite the company’s stellar environmental record? Meanwhile, college professors toss around terms like “Nazi” and “fascist” in ways divorced from their actual meaning. Why is a free sex-change operation for incarcerated illegal migrants a riveting presidential campaign issue? Such madness defies rational explanation. America is not in an existential crisis. For nearly everyone,...

Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Princeton University professor and network contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. said he believed people voted for President Donald Trump because they did not want to elect a black woman. Glaude said, “I don’t know what it’s going to take for the American people, for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make the choice to elect this man again, to make the choice will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have.” He continued, “The choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republican to...

When COVID happened, I was still a devout Democrat. I did notice that it seemed like we were all working hard to sabotage Trump rather than come together as a country to help him deal with a once-in-a-generation pandemic. That would be the first tiny crack in the surface of my bubble. I wondered why our hatred of Trump was more important than dealing with this once-in-a-generation crisis. It was verboten to think such a thing. What I learned then is that they are all about clinging to power. They want their Woketopia back, and they’re willing to go to...
