Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta joined SiriusXM Urban View hosts Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert this week for a town hall discussion about the future of the Democratic Party and, in a promotional clip, she told them the party is eyeing a safe “white boy” candidate for 2028. During the conversation, Crockett turned to who the Democrats might run in the next presidential election and said she’s already hearing chatter of who donors are rallying behind. “It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about...

One of the more unintentionally amusing things we've seen from leftists since President Trump's inauguration have been the announcements about how they are getting rid of their Tesla vehicles in protest of the company's CEO, Elon Musk, and his senior advisory role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Among the virtue-signalers has been singer/entertainer Sheryl Crow, who made a big show of waving goodbye to her Tesla in a video shared to Instagram back in February."My parents always said... you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing...

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who ditched his Tesla last month, refused to label recent violence at Tesla dealerships in protest of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts as "domestic terrorism," a term that has been used by Republicans and the Justice Department. "Certainly vandalism and it's a crime," Kelly told Fox News Digital when asked if the violence at Tesla dealerships in response to DOGE amounted to terrorism. "It's a significant crime, especially if you're going to firebomb a car or vandalize somebody's vehicle or even key somebody's vehicle. They shouldn't be doing it. And these should...

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth does not resign over the Signal chat among senior national security officials, President Donald Trump should fire him. Kelly said, “When you plan a mission, the most closely held information is the timing when you’re going to launch where you’re going. In this case, Yemen, and when you’re going to get there, time on target, weapon systems you’re carrying. In this case, Pete Hegseth shared MQ-9, Tomahawk, F-18. all that information is the most sensitive, sensitive information we have. And any adversary would want to...

Democrat Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona visited Ukraine this weekend, trying to undermine President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the devastating war launched by Russia in 2022 during Joe Biden’s presidency. Kelly’s trip comes just days before Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet with Ukrainian officials on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia. (Update: Conflicting reports on whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is in Saudi Arabia on Monday, will stay for the meetings. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will also be in Saudi Arabia meetings.) Amazingly, in a statement on his visit to...

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was an “utter mess” that “makes us look weak.” Kelly said, “What a complete and utter mess. And this is a gift to Putin. And make no mistake, and I hope the American people get this, that this makes us look weak and it’s not normal behavior.” He continued, “The United States. Chris we are a superpower. Our power is our military, our economy, our diplomatic corps, our professionalism. This was not professional. We don’t gain anything...

Everyone is lying.On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona leaned into Stephen Feinberg, President Trump’s pick to be deputy secretary of Defense, and challenged him to defend Donald Trump’s lie.Feinberg could not answer the question with a yes.That was a lie.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and his brother, Scott Kelly, both retired astronauts, on Friday called out tech billionaire Elon Musk over his attacks on an astronaut on his social platform X. “Hey @ElonMusk, when you finally get the nerve to climb into a rocket ship, come talk to the three of us,” the Arizona lawmaker wrote on X in response to Musk’s post calling Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen “an idiot.” Scott Kelly defended Mogensen after Musk attacked him for challenging his remarks on a recent Fox News interview alongside President Trump. Musk used an ableist slur, referring to Mogensen, in...

Sen Mark Kelly (the astronaut) tried to hit Tulsi and Trump — got hit back so hard he burned up on re-entry. The problem with so many ‘gotcha’ questions is the fact that throwing a surprise question at someone betrays the #1 rule of asking witness testimony: never ask a question to which you do not already know the answer. Sen Kelly may have thought he had her dead to rights in a question designed as a trap, where either Tulsi or Trump would take a hit in the way it was worded. If he had even the remotest idea...

President Biden appeared to suggest Friday that former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) is either dead or divorced— and no longer his friend — in an apparent gaffe shortly after he told members of a Native American community that there is “nothing wrong with me.” “Thank you to Sen. Mark Kelly, a great friend — who also was married to an incredible woman who was my friend,” the 81-year-old president told the Gila River Indian Community, just south of Phoenix. Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona, has been married to Giffords — who is very much alive — since 2007. The...

That Kamala Harris. She's sure got a lot of "values." We're all familiar with her paradoxical claim that despite having flip-flopped on many positions—including her previous adamant desire to ban fracking and decriminalize illegal border crossings—her "values haven't changed." Appearing on Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Harris surrogate Mark Kelly, a Dem senator from Arizona, professed Kamala's allegiance to the "values" of two disparate electoral groups. Discussing Harris' poor polling among Latino voters in Arizona, Kelly told host Dana Bash that "Harrison-Walz are committed to their values." Earlier in the show, Bash mentioned that Kelly was speaking from Dearborn,...

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Monday on CNN’s “OutFront” that former President Donald Trump is willing to prosecute and jail Americans for disagreeing with him. Host Erin Burnett said, “He is though laying senator the groundwork to claim election fraud if he loses in November, I just want to make sure people know that because if you weren’t listening all weekend, you might have missed that. What he said. He said that the only thing that stands between him and victory in this election is widespread fraud and cheating. Here’s what he said.” At a campaign rally on Saturday, Trump...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that every Democrat on Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate list was “next level league” above former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Wallace said, “What I’m going to say might not be popular or in my interest, everyone on this list is in a next level league from the person that the top and the number two spot on the Republican side. I mean, the Harris candidacy is just brimming with enthusiasm and energy and a vivaciousness that the Democrats didn’t even expect and the Republicans certainly didn’t.”

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., who is a top contender to be Vice President Harris' running mate in the 2024 election, posted a cryptic message on social media amid veepstakes speculation. "Whether it was from my time in the Navy and at NASA, serving in the United States Senate, or visiting our troops overseas: I've learned that when your country asks you to serve, you always answer the call," Kelly posted on X on Sunday.

Damaging stories have plagued two candidates at the top of Kamala Harris's running mate search list. On Sunday, we reported that a Democrat running for statewide office in Pennsylvania accused Gov. Josh Shapiro, one of the frontrunners, of covering up sexual harassment in his office. Harris wasn't likely to choose Shapiro anyway. Despite hailing from Pennsylvania, a must-win state for Harris, his Jewish heritage and pro-Israel positions likely would hurt the ticket among the antisemitic and anti-Zionist wing of the party.But now the dirt is coming out about another top contender, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). It turns out that he...

Kelly’s ties to China, including the surveillance balloon company he founded, are under renewed scrutiny. The Arizona Daily Independent reports Kelly cofounded World View Enterprises in 2012. The Tucson-based aerial surveillance company contracts with the federal government and has received funding from Tencent Holding Unlimited, one of China’s largest tech companies connected to the CCP. Axios reported: An Arizona company that manufactures and operates high-altitude surveillance balloons, and contracts with the federal government, faces renewed attention in the aftermath of the destruction of a spy balloon sent by the Chinese government that entered U.S. airspace earlier this month. As recently...

I did NOT have the Democrats' darling politician and favorite to be Kamala's VP, Astronaut Mark Kelly, as a Chinese spy balloon guy on my bingo card. But, dudes, it's real.

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is calling for more gun restrictions with a proposed bill that seeks to restrict semi-automatic weapons and gun modifications. The Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act would establish a list of prohibited firearms and limit the capacity of detachable magazines to 10 rounds. It would also prohibit "ghost guns," which are bought in separate pieces online and then assembled at home.

“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday. Joe Biden was forced to leave the presidential race after high-level Democrats threatened him with the 25th Amendment. Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post. The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, according to...
