emember that "wave of intense support" for Kamala Harris in the summer of 2024, stemming from her social media campaign using terms like "brat" and "coconut?" Me neither. But Audie Cornish does! On Wednesday's edition of CNN This Morning that she hosts, Cornish brought on Katie Drummond of the leftist magazine Wired to explain why Zohran Mamdani's social media campaign has been so successful, while Kamala's flopped: When I look at Kamala Harris, and we think about Brat/Coconut Summer, there was this sense of like a wave of intense support, right? And attention. Why do you think that that didn't...

The Democratic Party's coronation of Kamala Harris as their 2024 presidential nominee wasn't the smooth, unified effort they wanted the public to believe. Behind closed doors, it was pure chaos, with Barack Obama furious at Nancy Pelosi for moving too fast and essentially backing Kamala’s anointing before anyone else had a shot at it. When Joe Biden finally bowed out of the race in July 2024, Nancy Pelosi wasted almost no time throwing her support behind Kamala. Less than a day after Biden's announcement, Pelosi was all in on Harris. The problem? According to excerpts from Jonathan Karl’s forthcoming book,...

Former President Barack Obama was not pleased that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris the day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.In his new book Retribution, ABC News' Jonathan Karl provided new details on what had been widely known - that Obama didn't want a quick coronation of Harris, but rather 'a process' to determine who would become the Democratic nominee. The Daily Mail obtained an advanced copy. Obama called Pelosi shortly after her endorsement of Harris became public. 'The Obamas were not happy,' a Pelosi confidant told Karl. 'This...

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from...

A female agent formerly on the Secret Service detail for Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff moonlighted as a model and never passed her physical fitness test, sources told RealClearPolitics. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle emphasized Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) during her tenure before she was forced to resign in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, RealClearPolitics reported.

The agent was featured...

OMG! You must watch this! This is absolutely Kamala! 🤣🤣🤣 You will say, damn, who did this? 🤣

When we think of whom to thank for Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, we should not forget to mention Joe Biden’s press secretary.

Former Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre unleashed on the Democratic Party in an excerpt from her new memoir, explaining why she decided to become an independent after years as a party flack. In the excerpt, Jean-Pierre detailed the phone call in which then-President Joe Biden told the White House team that he was dropping out of the race, Newsweek reported. "Biden seemed to be totally at peace with his decision, but I was stunned, my feelings a blur. I was angry and sad. I was enraged and heartbroken that this man had given more than 50 years of...

After Virginia’s Republican candidate for governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, left her Democratic opponent, Abigail Spanberger, on the ropes in a debate last week, Sears came out with a devastating ad: A full minute-long clip from the debate of Spanberger staring ahead silently, unwilling to answer the moderator’s question about whether she endorses attorney general candidate Jay Jones despite his homicidal comments against Republicans. “We’re talking about murder … have you nothing to say about that?” Sears prodded. ... So even as Sears rolled out ad after ad that criticized Spanberger by showing her responses when asked about policy positions, the most...

A detailed analysis of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs found new problems with the FBI evidence and advances the notion that the case could turn out to be a government-created hoax. A video engineer who spent more than a year examining the pipe bomb evidence submitted a 26-page report to the House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6. Known on social media as Armitas, the analyst was asked on Oct. 4 to submit his report by the legal counsel for the House Committee on the Judiciary. Armitas said he has been working with a Washington-based FBI...

The best #content train on the planet right now went full steam ahead this week, and it even picked up a new, insufferable passenger! The Kamala Harris book tour, in which Kamala goes around and lies her ass off about things that have literally never happened, welcomed Hillary Clinton to the show on Thursday, and buddy – it was a DOOZY. It sort of reminded me of that scene from Dumb & Dumber where Harry and Lloyd just scream ‘Mockingbird’ at each other in the van? And hey! That analogy works well here, because these two broads are truly two...

SiriusXM’s Stephen A. Smith on “Straight Shooter” Wednesday told Democrats to stop accusing their opposition of being “a threat to democracy,” calling the claim hypocritical. Former Vice President Kamala Harris became the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee despite garnering virtually no primary voter approval after former President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her on July 21, 2024. Smith said on his show that the Democratic Party has anointed their nominees in recent elections rather than letting Americans choose them — unlike Republicans since President Donald Trump entered politics. “See, when I talked about voting for Kamala Harris, I wasn’t excited...

Former Vice President Harris said on Thursday that any checks and balances to hold back President Trump have not worked. On tour to promote her new book about her campaign, “107 Days,” Harris spoke with journalist and podcaster Kara Swisher at the Warner Theatre to a sold-out audience. “The point is that the guardrails have failed, for the most part,” Harris said. “Except one, which is the people and the power of God.” “So right now, in this moment, if the Supreme Court isn’t a guardrail … what is, from a legal point of view, the guardrail that you see?”...

Kamala Harris’s book tour continues to generate interesting soundbites, with the former vice president blasting President Donald Trump’s administration, saying “These motha****kas are crazy!” during one recent appearance. Harris shared her assessment while speaking at the “Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit in Los Angeles on Monday. The ex-VP told the crowd at The Getty Center: VIDEO AT LINK............... We are living history right now, and you all storytellers are living this. You’re not passive observers, you know that. You’re living it, and I would ask you that all the emotions that we are feeling — give those emotions, give that...

Kamala Harris was at the Masonic on Sunday afternoon for a conversation about her new book, “107 days.” So was Doug Emhoff, her husband. Everyone was thrilled to see them. They were in friendly territory. The ovation was deafening. “That election was quite unprecedented in a number of ways,” Harris, former San Francisco District Attorney, said at the beginning of her conversation with comedian D.L. Hughley. She was asked why she spilled the beans about that historic period after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race — thereby sending her off to run the shortest presidential campaign in...
