A woman who served as an official in Joe Biden’s White House and on Kamala Harris’s transition team, whom bureaucrats tried to hide in the Department of Labor’s non-political workforce after the election, has been terminated after The Daily Wire exposed her scheme. “Elizabeth Peña was terminated, effective today. The Administration is actively working to ensure no other political operatives from the Biden-Harris administration were secretly burrowed into the government,” an individual with direct knowledge of staffing decisions told The Daily Wire. The firing suggests the Trump team is hitting the ground running with attention to detail when it comes...

They have a lot in common. Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House. Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported. Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory. Harris, 60, was the...

Former presidential candidate Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the last weeks of her vice presidency to discuss how to handle her loss in the 2024 election. The two spoke multiple times since November 2024 about their shared experiences and how to handle the future, New York Magazine reported Thursday morning. Harris reportedly slipped out of her official residence at the Naval Observatory to visit Clinton, who lived only a few blocks away, to chat in December. The two also celebrated together during a private reception for Clinton, who was awarded the Medal of Freedom...

Kamala Harris' return to her home in Los Angeles after being booted from the White House was not a particularly friendly one. The former vice president headed back to California Tuesday to thank Los Angeles firefighters for their efforts during the recent wildfires and for a homecoming after spending the past four years in Washington. However, her neighbors in the infamous, wealthy enclave of Brentwood - once home to OJ Simpson - were not particularly thrilled to have her home. 'I'm embarrassed that she lives here, and I'm embarrassed that she represented the United States,' Lewis, a real estate investor...

Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her 'beloved' second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat. But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her 'dead weight' husband.

Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her 'beloved' second gentleman, Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat. But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her 'dead weight' husband. And as she weighs her political future – maybe a 2026 run for Governor of California or another try for the nation's top job two years later – she has to consider whether Emhoff is an asset or a liability.

Doug Emhoff, the former second gentleman, demonstrated just how firmly the left clings to debunked narratives during a ceremonial tea at the White House before Donald Trump’s inauguration. Emhoff refused to shake hands with Bruce Fischer, the husband of Sen. Deb Fischer, citing a prior incident that the left turned into yet another false story to smear conservatives. The irony of this moment couldn’t be more apparent: Democrats often claim to be so worried about "misinformation" yet constantly cling to lies long after they have been debunked. The backstory is straightforward enough. Earlier in January, during a traditional Senate chamber...

Let them eat word salad! Newly unemployed Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are slinking back to Los Angeles Monday — where they will pass out food to wildfire victims after all but ignoring their plight for two weeks. The former vice president has formally left the White House and is returning to her mansion in the wildfire ravaged city after losing the election to President Trump in the November. Harris is expected to fly to her home state with an all-female US Air Force crew, the first of which to ever operate a C-33, MSNBC reported. Upon landing,...

Donald Trump never revealed what he and former president Barack Obama discussed in the viral footage from Jimmy Carter's funeral though he happily shared the parody video of their discussion. Trump shared the parody video on X showcasing the version where Obama praised Trump and said, "Yeah. I bet. I knew you'd win." "I can't talk, we have to find a quiet place sometime. This is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so that we can deal with it, certainly, today." "I've pulled out of that. It's the conditions. Can you believe it?" Trump said,...

Kamala to wildfire victims: "It's critically important that, to the extent you can find anything that gives you an ability to be patient in this extremely dangerous and unprecedented crisis, that you do."

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Monday on “News Central” that Americans don’t understand the connection between climate change and wildfires. Host John Berman said, “Just a few minutes ago, you heard FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell talking about the role that climate change has in helping create the conditions for these wildfires burning out of control, the most destructive in some ways that we’ve ever seen in and around Los Angeles. So how do Americans feel about climate change and the danger it poses? Do they feel the same way that they used to?” Enten said, “I mean,...

Cops rushed to Kamala's Harris's evacuated Brentwood home Saturday after burglars were reported as Los Angeles' lawlessness spiraled amid the worst fires in history. Two people were ultimately arrested for breaching curfew with cops finding no evidence they were outside the vice president's home to commit robbery. However, the incident speaks to the fear that is gripping neighborhoods that have been ravaged by fire. Looting is now running rampant as the flames continue to destroy homes. At least 20 people have been arrested for looting in evacuation zones around the Los Angeles area. At least two people have been charged...

California has focused on fortifying communities against wildfires. But with growing threats, that may not be enough. This week’s fires around Los Angeles present a puzzle: Why is California, the state best equipped to deal with wildfires, seemingly unable to prevent blazes from consuming entire chunks of the country’s second-largest city?California’s building code for wildfires is among the most protective in the nation. Its local fire departments are backed up by CalFire, the state fire agency, which has a $4 billion budget and some of the best trained firefighters in the world. The state’s huge tax base generates effectively unlimited...

As wildfires rage across Los Angeles, which some say is the worst they’ve seen, looters have been emboldened, taking full advantage of the out-of-control region to plunder homes and businesses that have burned down. With LA police officers and private security guards pushed to the brink, the criminal element in the city is running rampant, showing just how fragile the fabric of society has become in this once-thriving metropolis. Unfortunately, the frightening sight of entire neighborhoods overtaken by wildfires has quickly turned southern California, including the Pacific Palisades, into an unrecognizable hellscape. Los Angeles city leaders called in the National...

Insurance industry calls Harris' claim that insurers are canceling policies 'false, wrong and dangerous' The insurance industry is pushing back after Vice President Kamala Harris suggested insurance companies have canceled the policies of victims of California's wildfires, calling her claim "false, wrong and dangerous." During a press conference regarding the ongoing wildfires on Thursday, Harris said, "Many insurance companies have canceled insurance for a lot of the families who have been affected and will be affected, which is only going to delay or place an added burden on their ability to recover." "I think that is an important point that...

Jim Gaffigan says people told him to avoid criticizing Kamala Harris because the election was so important The comedian said the lack of criticism for Harris was probably not good for her campaign. Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed that people had told him not to criticize Kamala Harris during the presidential election, and he called it a strategic mistake. He made the comments while appearing on "The Last Laugh" podcast with Matt Wilstein. "What I thought was interesting about this election, maybe because it was so important, and maybe because it was such a short election for Kamala, that people were...

Bruce Fischer, the husband of U.S. Senator for Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, had an awkward exchange with Kamala Harris during the one-on-one ceremonial swearing-in of senators with their families. Following the oath, Harris tells Senator Fischer congratulations and shakes her hand. She then turns to Bruce, who took part in the ceremony by holding the bible for his wife, and extends her hand. Bruce declined the opportunity to shake hands with Harris, who awkwardly quipped, “I won’t bite.” Fischer declined the handshake and put his hands in his pockets. Harris looked surprised and smiled awkwardly.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. The Left doesn’t get it. They’d rather mainline whatever sludge CNN or MSNBC spews on the airwaves, but there’s no escaping this anymore: Donald J. Trump won the 2024 election. He won the Electoral College. He won the popular vote. He beat the lawfare and the media smear campaigns. He’s unstoppable, invincible, and it’s about time Democrats realize they cannot beat him. So, when you have these clown threads on Twitter claiming how Trump didn’t win the popular vote—look no further than Nate Silver, of all people, to annihilate...
