Bush. “In fact, I think Doug Emhoff outshone...

US President Joe Biden on Saturday expressed hope Iran would stand down despite its threat to avenge the elimination of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Reuters reported. Iran and Hamas have blamed Israel for Haniyeh’s killing, though Israel has not claimed or denied responsibility. They, together with Hezbollah, have vowed revenge for both Haniyeh’s elimination as well as for the elimination of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Asked by reporters whether Iran would stand down, Biden said in response, "I hope so. I don't know." On Friday, the Pentagon announced it would move a fighter jet squadron to...

RICHMOND — Former congressman Denver Riggleman, a Virginia Republican who ran twice with Donald Trump’s backing but broke with him over the Jan. 6 insurrection, endorsed Vice President Harris for the White House on Sunday. “I was heartbroken and horrified to see how close we came to losing our democracy on January 6, because of one man — Donald Trump,” Riggleman said in a statement released by Harris’s campaign. “I’ve seen with my own eyes how Trump’s thirst for power, revenge, and retribution is his real motivation, and that’s why I cannot stand by while he tries to destroy our...

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele said in an interview late Thursday that former President Trump’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris are “incoherent.” “At a rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump showed in real time how the ground has shifted for Republicans, as he tried out some incoherent attacks on his new opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, including repeatedly mispronouncing her name and trying out a recycled insult or two,” Steele said while guest-hosting MSNBC’s “The ReidOut.” Steele highlighted a whirlwind week in politics after President Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Harris. Since then, Harris’s campaign...

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) will be supporting Vice President Harris in November after previously saying he would back President Biden. Duncan endorsed Harris in an interview on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” podcast that aired Wednesday. He has been a staunch critic of former President Trump and revealed in May that he would be supporting Biden instead of the former president for the White House. He was asked on the podcast whether he has or will be endorsing Harris. He said after Biden’s poor showing at the debate last month, he thought the Democratic Party would do...

The suspect in the Trump rally shooting searched online for information on the arrest of a Michigan mass shooter and his parents, who were prosecuted in a 2021 high school shooting. He visited websites for how to build explosives. And in the minutes before he fired shots in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, he screenshotted a picture from a livestream of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. A week before the shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks searched online for the date of the Democratic National Convention and where Trump planned to speak, as well as other searches for Trump and President Joe...

Back to Videos Michael Steele: "A Lot Of Questions Around That Ear," We Have No Official Medical Records From Trump Assassination Attempt Posted By Tim Hains On Date July 17, 2024 Michael Steele, who served as the head of the RNC during the Obama administration, speculated Tuesday on MSNBC about big unanswered questions about "the extent and nature of the damage to [Donald Trump's] ear" following the assassination attempt Saturday. "There are a lot of questions around that ear," Steele said. "Let's start with last night and the band-aid. It’s been three days -- going on four -- since this...

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said on Sunday that he doesn’t think President Biden understands he is “not winning this race” against former President Trump. “There are certain immutable facts of life, and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage, and the President just doesn’t seem to come to – he hasn’t come to grips with it. He’s not winning this race,” Axelrod, a senior adviser in the Obama administration, said on CNN’s “Inside Politics Sunday.” “If you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it’s more likely that he’ll...

President Biden indicated in an interview with ABC News Friday that he would be at peace if he lost to former President Trump "as long as I gave it my all." Why it matters: Biden is under growing pressure to step aside as the Democratic nominee in the wake of his disastrous debate performance last week, especially given the stakes of a potential Trump second term. Many Democrats believe Biden has been an excellent president — but that his refusal to give up power at his advantaged age could risk throwing the country into turmoil after November's election. His interview...

Galloway, a former Labour lawmaker, is known for his radical stance and longtime support for various terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. He was expelled from Labour in 2003.

What kind of a political leader sends members of his own party on a wild goose chase to find out whether their party leader was a Russian spy while sitting on a phony dossier full of lies and not telling them? Well, we now know the answer: Former House Speaker Paul Ryan. I've defended him for a long time and have never been a Ryan-hater, but this is not a pretty picture. According to Roll Call: GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger and a longtime aide to Speaker Paul D. Ryan each were given an early look at the final report added...

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, continued the course of not supporting former President Trump during the 2024 election. Last week, Trump had a closed-door meeting with Republican senators where he pitched a new policy position that could win over workers in key swing states ahead of the November election. Romney attended the meeting, though he told CNN reporter Manu Raju on Tuesday that he did not go to support Trump. "I didn't go there to support former President Trump. I went there to listen to what he was planning on doing if he became president," Romney told Raju. Romney reportedly acknowledged...

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan described himself as “an anti-establishment Republican” on Tuesday while defending himself from accusations of being a “RINO” on Fox News. During an appearance on Fox News’ Your World, Ryan tore into former President Donald Trump, prompting host Neil Cavuto to shoot back, “Well, he doesn’t like you either.” Cavuto then confronted Ryan – who, as the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, has long been seen by Trump supporters as a face of the Republican establishment – with a post Trump made calling him a “loser” and “a pathetic RINO [Republican in Name Only].”

John Boehner, the conservative nemesis turned lobbyist ousted from the speakership in 2015 for pushing Obama administration priorities, has reportedly emerged as a “quiet mentor” to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).Boehner — “an establishment Republican who was speaker a decade ago chronologically, but an eon ago in the GOP’s radical evolution — has become a surprising tutor” to Johnson, Axios reported Monday. The report comes days after Boehner headlined a fundraiser in his native Ohio on May 30 for Johnson’s PAC. In reporting on the upcoming fundraiser, Punchbowl News noted, “If you’ve listened to Speaker Mike Johnson recently, there is some...

A seething mob of anti-Israel protesters busted inside the Brooklyn Museum Friday, where they set up an encampment, made their way to the roof and draped a banner from the side of the building declaring the war in Gaza “genocide.” The intruders — who were the vanguard of a massive demonstration nearly 1,000 people strong — scaled the building and rappelled down inside of the art museum with climbing equipment, police sources said. Hundreds of others surrounded the museum. A number of protesters on the roof draped a giant banner reading “Free Palestine Divest From Genocide” over the front of...

Phelan will be returning to the Legislature in 2025 with far fewer friends and far more emboldened enemies. Despite the cigar and bravado on display at his victory party Tuesday night, Phelan and his cohort suffered heavy losses to the rightwing. Six of the eight House incumbents mired in runoffs lost. Those losses follow the incumbent bloodbath in the March primaries, in which half a dozen Phelan allies were defeated by challengers backed by Paxton and/or Governor Greg Abbott. One of the main jobs of the speaker is to keep his members in office. The king must protect the kingmakers....

We’ve seen politicians go to jail. We’ve seen a vice president of the United States — Spiro Agnew — resign to avoid any chance of going to jail. We have seen President Richard Nixon pardoned in order to keep him out of jail. What we have never seen is a former president of the United States in jail. But now that is a real possibility, because Donald Trump can’t shut up and abide by a simple gag order. Justice Juan Merchan has repeatedly tried to enforce his gag order with fines. Trump pays the fines and keeps violating the gag...

Paul Ryan must be very confused about what makes a person’s “character” good or bad; according to a new report, the former congressman will not be voting for Donald Trump, because “character is too important” and therefore, he can’t get behind a guy like Trump. Apparently, Ryan intends to write in another Republican candidate, which is obviously a throw away vote and therefore, one less vote against Joe Biden. Funny, because Ryan and all the other RINOs never say a word about Biden’s character, nor are they that critical of his policies. The goal with Ryan and others is to...
