The Biden administration had had quite the penchant of not just promoting the latest COVID-19 booster shots, but of doing so through fear-mongering and partisan talking points. The administration even threatened people's jobs and livelihoods if they didn't get the vaccine. Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci was present at Tuesday's White House press briefing where he also promoted the vaccine, which as Spencer highlighted at the time. erupted in chaos.

On Monday evening, the Paramount Networks aired the first part of a six-part documentary series on the death of Trayvon Martin called Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.

These cops get off every single time,” Pollock declared. Pollock started the segment by rolling his eyes as Fox host Martha MacCallum introduced a news package about the “new footage.” The situation devolved from there. “I am simply...

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president, tore into President Obama over his speech about the mass shooting in Orlando, saying the commander in chief seemed a heck of a lot angrier at the billionaire businessman than the actual Islamic terrorist who killed 49 and injured 53. “I watched President Obama,” Trump said, during a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, in reference to Obama’s widely reported speech that contained numerous angry remarks against Trump, but few toward the Muslim murderer, Omar Mateen, the Hill reported. “And he was more angry at me than the shooter.”

Ms Leslie has said she is a Muslim, despite walking out of the Bali prison where she spent three months wearing jeans and a tight singlet, abandoning the hijab she wore throughout her trial. "Religion and her beliefs are a very personal thing to her," Ms Leslie's spokesman, Sean Mulcahy, said last night. "If Michelle has offended anyone, she apologises."
