Disney-owned ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel downplayed the violent, destructive, insurrectionist L.A. riots Tuesday night and said he was “very angry” that immigration officials were arresting murderers, drug dealers, and rapists. During Tuesday evening’s Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue, Kimmel blasted the Trump administration for “abducting” people off the streets for deportation and for sending the National Guard to break up what Kimmel called “peaceful demonstrations” occurring in Los Angeles. “I’m very angry, I have to say. I cannot believe what’s going on. I knew it was going to be bad, I did not know it was going to be this...

MADRID (AP) – Spain has cancelled a deal for anti-tank missile systems that were to be manufactured in Madrid by a subsidiary of an Israeli company, in a bid to move away from Israeli military technology, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. The decision will affect the license for 168 SPIKE LR2 anti-tank missile systems with an estimated value of 285 million euros ($325 million). The systems would have been developed in Spain by Pap Tecnos, a Madrid-based subsidiary of Israel´s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, according to local press. “The goal is clear…a total disconnection from Israeli technology,” government spokesperson Pilar...

Italy’s right-wing government has joined with Germany, France, Canada and the United Kingdom in calling on Israel to end its military campaign in Gaza. “The legitimate reaction of the Israeli government to a terrible and senseless act of terrorism is unfortunately taking absolutely dramatic and unacceptable forms, which we call on Israel to stop immediately,” Antonio Tajani, the Italian foreign minister, said in an address to parliament on Tuesday. “The bombing must end, humanitarian assistance must resume as soon as possible, respect for international humanitarian law must be restored,” he added. Later, alluding to calls by U.S. President Donald Trump...

A popular left-wing Gen-Z TikTok creator with millions of followers praised the deadly shooting of two Israeli diplomats in the U.S. capital, calling the gunman a “resistance fighter” — joining other far-left groups that have justified, excused, or openly celebrated the attack. On Thursday, social media personality Guy Christensen — known online as “YourFavoriteGuy” — posted a video voicing support for Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing two Israeli embassy employees during a private event in Washington, DC, last week. “I do not condemn the elimination of the Zionist officials,” Christensen said in the now-deleted clip, later urging viewers...

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Early vote counting in Australia’s general election Saturday suggested the government was likely to be returned for a second term. The Australian Electoral Commission’s early projections gave the ruling center-left Labor Party 70 seats and the conservative opposition coalition 24 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, the lower chamber where parties need a majority to form governments. Unaligned minor parties and independent candidates appeared likely to win 13 seats. Senior government minister Jim Chalmers said the early results pointed to volatility and different contests across the nation. Opposition Sen. James McGrath expected the result would...

Dramatic and unexpected election results in Greenland saw long-governing legacy parties kicked out of power and more right-wing, pro-American politicians set to dominate parliament for the first time. The provisional results for the Greenlandic elections held on Tuesday show a historic result not forecast by pollsters, with the longstanding political establishment parties punished and relegated to third and fourth positions, respectively. The election comes amid intense discussion of Greenland’s potential independence domestically and global attention over U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated overtures to the country to become part of the United States. As things stand, Greenland is now a region...

Left-wing billionaires are dumping large sums of cash into the highly consequential Wisconsin Supreme Court race ahead of election day on April 1, according to recent campaign finance reports. Money from left-wing billionaire George Soros, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), and Silicon Valley billionaire Reid Hoffman accounted for more than 40 percent of the $4.2 million in individual contributions the Democratic Party of Wisconsin received over the past month. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin then promptly transferred $2 million to the campaign of Democrat Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford, records show. Hoffman, a past visitor to Epstein Island, contributed...

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was pulling a Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night when she attempted to set off a conspiracy theory about Elon Musk and the Trump administration. The left-wing cable host devoted a segment of her show to accusing President Donald Trump and Musk of corruption and “self-dealing” over a potential $400 million purchase of armored Tesla vehicles through a State Department contract. However, Maddow omitted a crucial detail of the story: the planned purchase was listed in a procurement document published in December under former President Joe Biden’s administration, weeks before Trump even took office. Tonight, Rachel Maddow led...

Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), a radical left-wing activist group, is closing down a grantmaking program that the Biden administration sought to seed with $50 million in taxpayer cash, the Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed. CJA is sunsetting the “environmental justice”-focused grant program that the Biden Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sought to fund with $50 million from one of the agency’s massive “environmental justice” grant programs, a spokesperson representing the group confirmed to the DCNF. The funds that the Biden EPA looked to route to CJA did not make it out the door before President Donald Trump and his team...

The confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon on Thursday was interrupted several times by raging protesters who screamed about transgenderism and other left-wing causes. A person familiar with the situation told the Hill the interruptions were from people affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA), which is the largest teachers’ union in the country. The NEA is staunchly opposed to school choice, and the organization has a history of funneling millions of dollars into far-left politics. The head of the organization notably raked in more than $500,000 in pay and showered liberal causes with money,...

Thursday on FNC’s “Hannity,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich pointed to the local and state government incompetence in responding to the wildfires plaguing Southern California. Gingrich called the response an example of “total incompetence and destructive of left-wing government.” “Look, I think we need a totally new model,” he said. “I think the federal government should basically impound all the money that was going to give California and all the money that it was going to give Los Angeles, translate that into to help for the people not the governments, but take all that money so that, in fact, we’re...

Left-wing “Morning Joe” hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice. The MSNBC co-hosts, who have repeatedly bashed the Republican on air over the years, said they had a face-to-face with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday — their first meeting in seven years — after reaching out in the wake of his election win. “Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear...

Democrat-aligned groups have been boosting voter turnout efforts through “downright dystopian” means such as free rent checks, gift cards, birth control, and “pole dancer” parties, sparking concerns over their efforts to attract young voters while raising questions about fairness as the DOJ focuses on Elon Musk’s America PAC over its recent sweepstakes. As the 2024 election approaches, Democrat-affiliated groups continue deploying highly unconventional methods to boost voter turnout, particularly among younger voters in key swing states.

Self-described “progressives” appear to be tiring of Kamala Harris’s effort to downplay her left-wing policies, and are reminding her that they do not want to be taken for granted as she tries to portray herself as a “moderate” candidate. While Harris told CNN last month, in her first and only media interview, that “my values have not changed,” Harris’s campaign has been telling the media that she no longer supports some of her most radical policies, such as canceling private health insurance, defunding the police, ending detention for illegal migrants, backing the “Green New Deal,” banning fracking, and other policies...

The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain announced Monday that it will be suspending dozens of arms export licences to Israel over concerns of UK weaponry being used to violate human rights in Gaza. Foreign Secretary David Lammy told the House of Commons that the British government will be suspending 30 of its 350 arms export licences to Israel, including UK-made components used in military drones, helicopters, and aircraft, including fighter jets used by the Israelis. The move comes after months of protests by left-wing activists and a two-month review conducted by the Foreign Office, The Guardian reports. While the...

On Friday’s “CNN News Central,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris should respond to the Trump campaign pointing to her prior remarks “With her record.” “But Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans just lie, lie, and lie.” Co-host Boris Sanchez asked, “[T]he Trump team is using some of Harris’ previous remarks about banning fracking, about demilitarizing the police, promoting Medicare for all to convince voters that she is a radical leftist. How do you think she should respond?”

Corporate media would love to make it appear that all political violence in the U.S. comes from the right. History begs to differ. Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, one of the most prominent news bytes among the propaganda media was the shooter’s alleged political affiliation. Corporate media outlets didn’t hesitate to note that Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania native who shot Trump in the face, killed a rally attendee, and injured two others, was a registered Republican. “Crooks was a registered Republican, according to Pennsylvania voter records,” wrote NBC News in an article the day after...

EXCLUSIVE — One day before anti-Israel protesters caused mayhem in Washington, D.C., burning an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he spoke to Congress, scrawling graffiti across federal property, and burning American flags, the National Park Service granted the organizing group a public gathering permit.... The NPS said in the permit documents that ANSWER “refused to provide specific locations for onsite contacts.” ANSWER is a project of a charity in San Francisco called Progress Unity Fund, according to tax records.... The NPS is already facing scrutiny for its handling of the Wednesday protest. Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) sent...
