Former ABC News veteran correspondent Terry Moran has launched his independent journalism career. The 65-year-old journalist resurfaced his Substack account and vowed he would get back to the “important work,” he said Wednesday, a day after he was booted from the Disney-owned network. Moran was dismissed Tuesday for violating the company’s policies with a viral social media attack against top White House official Stephen Miller. “For almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News, as you may have heard, I am not there anymore. I’m here with you, on Substack,” Moran said in a video posted...

More voters approve of the job President Trump is doing than approved of the job former President Barry Obama was doing on this same day during Barry’s second term. How do you like those apples-to-apples? On this same day during his own second term (June 4, 2013), Obama’s average job approval rating was 47.1 percent. Today, exactly 12 years later, during Trump’s second term, The Donald enjoys an average approval rating of 47.5 percent. Trump is also scoring better than former President George W. Bush did on this same day during Bush’s second term (June 4, 2005), 45.9 percent for...

An InsiderAdvantage poll shows President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has surged to 55 percent approve while only 44 percent disapprove and a mere one percent remain undecided. “These results are not a surprise,” InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery writes. “Other pollsters who accurately polled election cycles where President Trump’s name appeared on the ballot have been showing his approval ratings moving into the fifty-percent-plus range.” This is accurate. Currently, Harvard-Harris has Trump at 47 percent approval. He sits at 49 percent approval with Rasmussen. Even Morning Consult shows him at 48 percent. In a previous InsiderAdvantage survey (conducted with Trafalgar...

CNN host Jake Tapper said Tuesday on “News Central” that White House aides were hiding how much President Joe Biden was struggling to do his job because of his “deterioration both physical and cognitive.” Tapper said, “The White House physician, Doctor Kevin O’Connor, was telling White House aides that President Biden’s deterioration of his spine, the degeneration was so significant that if he fell one more time that he might have to be in a wheelchair and serve in a wheelchair for his second term but everybody pushed off the notion that he used a wheelchair until after the election....

U.S. private-sector employers ramped up their demand for workers in late March, while layoffs fell broadly and worker confidence strengthened, underscoring the labor market’s resilience heading into the second quarter, according to Labor Department data released Tuesday. The number of private-sector job openings increased in March, helping to more than offset a broader decline in total openings driven by reductions in government hiring. Employers posted 7.19 million vacancies on the last business day of the month, down slightly from a revised 7.48 million in February. Openings remain above pre-pandemic levels, highlighting sustained employer demand for workers even amid broader economic...

Two teenage girls from Germany were detained, arrested, and deported at an airport in Hawaii after immigration officials said it was suspicious they had not booked a hotel room. Backpackers Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18, arrived in Honolulu from Auckland while undergoing a round-the-world trip. The duo planned to spend five weeks in Hawaii before moving onto California and Costa Rica for the next legs of their journey. But despite having ESTA travel authorization, immigration officials accused them of attempting to enter the U.S. to work illegally, and they were placed in handcuffs and taken to a nearby...

Partners of over 1,000 registered voters between March 31 and April 3. Donald Trump’s four-point jump in job approval was not the only surprise.

Toronto -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday said that US President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs are a “direct attack” on his country and that the trade war is hurting Americans, noting that American consumer confidence is at a multi-year low. Trump said earlier on Wednesday that he was placing 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports and, to underscore his intention, he stated “This is permanent”. “This is a very direct attack. We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country,” Carney responded. Mark Carney said he needs to see the details...

U.S. job openings rose unexpectedly in January, underscoring a resilient labor market that continues to defy pessimistic forecasts about the impact of President Donald Trump’s economic policies. Job openings climbed to 7.74 million in January, up from a revised 7.51 million in December, according to data released Tuesday by the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). The increase surpassed economists’ expectations of 7.6 million openings. The increase in openings was driven primarily by gains in the real estate, construction, retail, manufacturing, and financial sectors, suggesting continued strength in key areas of the economy. Despite widespread media speculation...

On Monday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said that while there are changes that need to be made to FEMA, the agency has been fully cooperative with helping the state out with the recent flooding in Kentucky, the state’s disaster declaration for the floods was turned around by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “in near record time”, and Trump, Noem, “and FEMA are doing a great job here with us right now.” On “CBS Mornings,” Beshear said, “[L]et me give credit to the Trump administration. We have seen FEMA operating just like they did in the...

Far-left CBS News got some bad news from its latest poll. Currently, 53 percent of the public approves of the job President Donald Trump’s doing and 59 percent approve of his deportation of illegal aliens. What’s most fascinating about this particular poll is that it’s not a poll of voters. Rather, it’s a poll of 2,175 U.S. adults. The GOP tends to poll better with tighter screening for registered voters and likely voters. There is nothing wrong with an “adults” poll, but knowing the fake news artists at CBS News, it’s not unreasonable to assume they asked for an “adults”...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s press Secretary got her job because of “wokeness.” Goldberg said, “I would like her to do a little homework because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off. And that was she said, ‘There will be no wokeness here.’ Let me explain something to you, because without that wokeness, you might not have that job because women were not invited to that table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation.”

Better leave than wait out the clock. Aspirational workers beware, staying at one company won't get you out of a dead-end role. Gen Zers might be on the right track, as job-hopping is shaping up to be the solution to the workplace blues. Young workers are especially likely to quit a job as a way of getting ahead early on in their careers. Most (83%) consider themselves to be job-hoppers, according to a report from ResumeLab—and they're onto something. New research reveals that sticking to one boss and one company doesn’t always lead to success these days, as workers have...

Companies across the globe, at least four in 10, are likely to cut jobs as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, new research shows. A survey in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) latest “Future of Jobs Report,” found that because of the “increasing capability and prevalence” of AI, 41 percent of employers surveyed said they will shrink their workforce within the next five years if the technology is able to replicate the work. “As we enter 2025, the landscape of work continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Transformational breakthroughs, particularly in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), are reshaping industries and...

Colorado’s left-wing Governor, Jared Polis, says it is “dumb” to oppose the H-1B program that delivers thousands of tuition-paying foreign graduates into the careers needed by well-trained Colorado graduates. Polis told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins on December 26: Look, we have world-class universities here, University of Colorado at Boulder [and] Colorado State University. Students from across the world come here. And one of the stupidest things we do as a nation is when they get their degree, or their graduate degree, it could be a PhD in physics, in engineering, we literally say, ‘You’re not allowed to work in this country,...

Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Thursday, after the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck multiple targets across Yemen, the fourth Israeli counterattack against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and the most ambitious thus far. As Breitbart News reported earlier Thursday, Israel hit Yemen’s international airport in the capital city of Sana’a, and port facilities in Hodeida, after several days in which the Houthis fired ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli cities.
