“The Office” star Rainn Wilson slammed “left-leaning” media outlets for causing the public to lose trust in President Donald Trump and Elon Musk — while being cheerleaders for the Biden administration. Wilson, who played the ambitious Dwight Schrute on the hit show, voiced his complaints to MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle during an interview with her on his “Soul Boom” podcast Tuesday. He said left-wing outlets like MSNBC were in denial in their coverage of Biden’s faltering mental acuity and issues important to voters like inflation and illegal immigration — but are now overly negative in their coverage of Trump and...

On Friday’s broadcast of PBS’s “Washington Week,” New York Times Chief White House Correspondent and MSNBC Political Analyst Peter Baker stated that there have been instances of political violence from the left “But it does seem, at times, that Trump and his people seem to be more willing to use words like traitor and treasonous that might excite people to take action.” Baker stated, “On the physical violence part, and that has also been seen on both sides too, of course. President Trump was the target of two different assassination attempts last year. Just this last week, I think the...

The Passover display at the Greenfield Giant Eagle had Coca-Cola with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, which means that it’s not kosher for Passover. I’m Jewish. If I was a crazy, woke, radical leftist, I would have gotten very upset, and seen this as a deliberate act of antisemitism by one of the store employees. But I’m not a crazy, woke, radical leftist. So I saw it as an honest mistake, and did not get upset.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is calling on Americans across the political spectrum to denounce the use of "8647" by protesters — a phrase some allege is a coded call for violence against President Donald Trump — after anti-Trump and anti-Elon Musk rallies broke out in several states. The Daily Post reported that rallies against the current administration were held Saturday in multiple states, with demonstrators holding signs reading, "We are not okay, hands off the USA, 8647." The phrase "8647" has sparked controversy over its potential meaning and intent.

The abject cruelty Democrats inflicted on American citizens over the last ten years has no parallel in our history. They have conveniently forgotten about their suicide-inducing Covid lockdowns, forced masking and experimental vaccinations, and how they made you watch from behind a window as your mother died alone in a nursing home. They showed zero empathy or tolerance for dissent, and routinely targeted people for termination, cancellation, and suspension for speaking out. The party of sadistic cruelty is simply accusing the Right of doing what they have always been guilty of. The Democrats’ petty anger knows no limits. How many...

Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford and Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel are neck and neck in the upcoming election to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to a recent Trafalgar Group/InsiderAdvantage survey. The survey, which was conducted between March 28-30, of 1,083 likely voters, found that 50.8 percent of voters expressed support for Crawford, while 49.2 percent expressed support for Schimel. Among the people who said they “already voted” or that they voted absentee, Crawford received 55 percent of support, while Schimel received 45 percent of support.

A fire blazing at a Tesla charging station in Fargo, North Dakota, on Friday is believed to be intentionally set, the city’s battalion chief said. Acts of domestic terrorism against Tesla continue despite the federal government threatening arsonists and vandals with heavy prison fines. Fargo firefighters, who responded to a 3:15 a.m. fire at the Tesla charging station in the parking lot of Scheels on 45th Street South, revealed they found burned wood chips and a gas can near the scene of the incident, according to a report by InForum. One of the charging stations was smoking while a small...

During the first two months of Trump's second term, I have noticed that the sheer volume of protests has far exceeded what took place in DC during the first months of his first term. I noticed something else, too: the crowds are far older than any time in the past. What does this tell me? Well, for one it says that young people are not the ones taking to the streets of our nation's capital anymore. Trump gained significant ground on the younger demographic in the most recent election. While MAGA was considered to be a fringe political movement populated...

We are witnessing the most radical counter-revolution in the last 100 years, as the Trump administration attempts to slash government spending and the federal bureaucracies. It insists on reciprocal tariffs with friendly, neutral, and hostile nations alike. It will vastly expand energy production, end once and for all illegal immigration, fire the DEI industry and its overt racism, reboot public health policies, redirect the Pentagon, and, in general, reexamine almost every entrenched left-wing government institution and policy of the last 50 years.

In their Financial State of the Cities 2025 report, Truth in Accounting studied eight Texas cities and found their cumulative debt is a steep $37.45 billion. Austin had the highest share with $9.8 billion in debt, while Plano had the least at $467.9 million. “The data confirms what most people suspect—Texas’ local governments are addicted to debt. And that has major consequences for today’s taxpayers and tomorrow’s Texans,” James Quintero of the Texas Public Policy Foundation stated.

Graffiti in Downtown Rochester reads, “Who will kill Elon?’ ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Commuters on I-490 West in downtown Rochester encountered an unexpected sight on Thursday. Graffiti with the words “Who will kill Elon?” appeared on the 490 off-ramp bridge to Howell Street, seemingly referencing Elon Musk. News10NBC has reached out to New York State Police, the Department of Transportation, and the FBI about the graffiti, as Musk is a federal employee.

What we’re finding out in real time is the entire modern left is just smoke and mirrors. There is no left wing voter base, all the elections are rigged and fake, all the liberal media outlets have no audience and are kept alive by USAID funding. All their politicians and political pundits are paid by USAID to say what the government wants. The whole thing was a house of cards.

Studies of rock and dust from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security–Regolith Explorer) spacecraft have revealed molecules that, on our planet, are key to life, as well as a history of saltwater that could have served as the “broth” for these compounds to interact and combine. The findings do not show evidence for life itself, but they do suggest the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the early solar system, increasing the odds life could have formed on other planets and moons. “NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission already is...

President Donald Trump signed a broad executive order targeting transition-related medical care for minors Tuesday. The order, titled “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” intends to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care — including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery — for minors, which it defines as those younger than 19. It prohibits federal funding from covering such care for minors, restricts research and education grants to medical schools and hospitals, and directs the secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations to end such care for minors. The order also directs all federal agencies to rescind guidance...

Stephen A. Smith is dunking on his own party. The ESPN star shocked “Real Time” audiences Friday night by eviscerating Democrats and praising President Donald Trump during a discussion with Bill Maher. Smith, 57, who voted for Kamala Harris in the November election, conceded that Democrats appeared uninterested in the concerns of a majority of voters, saying they instead focused on “issues that pertain to less than 1% of the population.” “The man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,” Smith began. “And the American people still said ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on...

Left-wing radicals have been mobilizing near the nation’s capital ahead of the January 20 inauguration, which has been moved indoors. Since summer, we have tracked D.C.’s radical networks—their movements, methods, and potential for violence. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, these groups learned that street protests could yield political gains. Now, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, they’re weighing their options. This network is decentralized, adaptable, and steeped in organizing social unrest. Black Lives Matter messaging is fading, replaced by anti-Israel rhetoric. As Inauguration Day approaches, Communist militants and members of Antifa-aligned hubs have suggested storming the Capitol,...

Are we seeing the end of global leftism? Probably not. For one thing, politics is sort of a fuzzy spectrum; there will always be a left and a right, although things are a little more complicated than that. But there is a reason the Overton Window is a thing, and it can't go all the way to one side or another, and there will always be people and systems to the left and to the right of that window. But modern leftist politics, defined by socialism and its fuzzy-headed cousin "progressivism" (which may be taken to mean "progress on the...

For some time, I’ve been scratching my head over much of the opposition to Donald Trump. I weigh the good and the bad of him becoming President again, and, though I know that true objectivity is possibly impossible in this world, I think I’ve got a fairly objective view of the man. I’ve voted for Trump three times now. I had originally become a big admirer of his “story” when I read his classic The Art of the Deal back in my Twenties. Merely reading it brought me a strong sense of confidence–stronger than I can remember feeling after reading...

The suspect in Wednesday’s killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson allegedly left a message on shell casings which consisted of the words “Defend,” “Deny,” “Depose.” Breitbart News reported 50-year-old Thompson was shot and killed outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan just after 6:45 a.m. on Wednesday. Hours after the killing, the NYPD held a press conference and made clear they believe the killing was targeted not random. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny pointed out that the suspect was wearing a “distinctive gray backpack,” black face mask, light brown jacket, and black and white sneakers. He said the suspect...

President-elect Donald Trump wished all Americans a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday morning, including “the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country.” The 45th — and soon the be 47th President of the United States — also took the opportunity to celebrate his historic election victory against Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris and praised Americans who want to “Make America Great Again.”
