    Nicole Scherzinger, frontwoman for the female-led pop group The Pussycat Dolls, Broadway titan, and former The Masked Singer judge, opened up about her Christian faith, saying it gets a “bad rap” these days. Scherzinger revealed in a lengthy interview with Variety that her grandparents – Tutu and Papa – helped instill in her a deep faith. “Mom worked multiple jobs while Papa, a Marine, and Tutu helped raise the little girl, instilling a deep faith in her that remains a bedrock to this day,” Variety noted. Scherzinger revealed to Variety her gold Orthodox crucifix “My papa started out as an...

Co-anchors Michelle Miller, Dana Jacobson and the show’s executive producer Brian Applegate have been informed and are on their way out, sources close to the situation said.

    The recent news cycle has showcased stunning examples of leftists earning near-constant ridicule as their fabrications blow up in their faces. The Left's moral posturing crumbles under even cursory scrutiny and reveals a consistent pattern of hypocrisy, fabrication, and embrace of extremism. References to pots and kettles, glass houses, specks, beams, rakes, and petards are all getting a workout, and it's glorious to behold. Conservatives are basking in schadenfreude, needing only videos of Democrats performing perp walks to make our joy complete. New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani claimed his hijab-wearing aunt faced Islamophobic harassment on the subway post-9/11, and tried...

    Brutal layoffs are hitting CBS News after its parent company announced a plan to axe more than 2,000 staff across the organization. New editor-in-chief Bari Weiss acknowledged the cuts on the network's morning editorial call Wednesday, Semafor's Max Tani reported. Weiss called it a 'enormously difficult day' for the network, according to Tani. David Ellison, the chairman of CBS News parent Paramount, broke the news about the companywide layoffs in a note to staff Wednesday morning. 'In some areas, we are addressing redundancies that have emerged across the organization,' he wrote. 'In others, we are phasing out roles that are...

The talent would ostensibly help Weiss fulfill her mission...

    (DCNF)—CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’ tenure began with significant layoffs announced by Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison in a memo Wednesday, according to The Guardian. The cuts, planned before she was named to the post, affect roughly 100 staffers at CBS News, including virtually all of the outlet’s “race and culture” section, The Guardian reported, citing Puck News reporter Dylan Byers. One staffer told The Guardian the cuts, which involved about 1,000 total employees across Paramount, were a “bloodbath.” Scoop @PuckNews: CBS NEWS leadership will announce layoffs tomorrow...

    The downsizing comes as the David Ellison-Bari Weiss era of CBS News kicks into high gear CBS News eliminated multiple streaming programs on Wednesday as part of newsroom-wide layoffs, just one part of Paramount’s sweeping job cuts and a blow to the news organization’s headcount as Bari Weiss’ already turbulent tenure as editor in chief gets into full swing. It was not immediately clear how many people were affected, though some reports pegged the figure at nearly 100 jobs. The cuts affected CBS News’ streaming companion shows to “CBS Mornings” and “CBS Evening News,” both of which were canceled, according...

    A media shop affiliated with a radical preacher in Dearborn, Mich., recently published a 39-minute video celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination as a "praiseworthy action" that Muslims across the United States should celebrate and repeat. The call to violence has raised red flags with Trump administration officials as they seek to deport foreign terrorist sympathizers and combat radicalism across the nation. "The Fate of Charlie Kirk: The Insulter of the Messenger [Prophet Muhammad] and His Ruling According to Islam" was published on Oct. 10 by the English-language media outlet Project Guiding Light, a radical content mill affiliated with "pro-Islamic State" preacher...

    It’s too good. It’s beyond comical. For the past week or so, liberal America has been apoplectic over President Trump’s new addition to the White House. He’s renovating the East Room so that a proper ballroom can be on the grounds, a venue that can accommodate at least 650 people. The president of the United States will forever have a place for official state dinners and other events—no more tents on the lawn. And yet, you’d think Trump ordered a slash-and-burn of the entire residence. Other presidents have done this—it’s not a big deal. The project is being funded by...

    The new editor-in-chief of CBS News wants Fox News anchor Bret Baier to helm the channel's flagship evening news program, network sources have revealed. Bari Weiss floated The Special Report star's name along with several others during high-level talks meant to find a fresh face for the broadcaster after Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson stepped in for Norah O'Donnell in January, insiders told Status. Ratings for CBS Evening News have dropped from 4.8 million to 4.1million since. Weiss, 41, has begun 'quietly canvassing' the industry as a result, sources said. The news comes after Weiss was minted as CBS News'...

    Unicorns are supposed to be rare and mythical. But at Saturday’s No Kings protests I saw the largest outbreak in America outside a Lisa Frank store. They were everywhere, but I was surprised to see almost a dozen of them down in New Braunfels, Texas. As at many of the No Kings protests across the country, attendees embraced the example set by the taunting frog outside Portland’s ICE facility and came in outfits that you could find threatening in only the most silly and specific of contexts: Cookie Monster was there.But you don’t pass up a chance to meet a...

    A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king. But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power. The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP” appearing to dump raw sewage on...

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri and Kansas are warning SNAP recipients about potential benefit losses if the government shutdown continues. On Monday, the Missouri Department of Social Services sent out a warning saying it will not be able to fund November SNAP benefits if the government doesn’t reopen. The department said it “encourages” people to stretch their October balance into the next month, “if possible.” Throughout the metro, thousands are preparing for the potential impact. Adolph Pratt, a Kansas City, Kansas resident who relies on SNAP benefits, said the potential loss would force difficult choices. “It’s going to make...

    THE search for Saddam Hussein's multi-billion dollar fortune gathered momentum yesterday when special forces seized a half-brother implicated in torture and genocide. Barzan Ibrahim el-Hasan al-Tikriti, the second of Saddam's three half-brothers to be arrested, was captured during a night raid in Baghdad after a tip-off. Barzan, designated the five of clubs in a pack of cards of the most-wanted fugitives, acted as financier, adviser, diplomat and intelligence chief for Saddam. He is believed to have unique knowledge of the billions of dollars hidden abroad for Saddam Hussein and his family. The questioning of Barzan by US investigators is likely...

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Nearly 2,300 Kansas City children are the latest at risk in the government shutdown. Head Start, a federally funded program, is on the chopping block in Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties. Head Start promotes school readiness via complementary early learning, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income children from birth to age five. Eligibility is primarily based on income, but children in foster care, who are homeless, or whose families receive public assistance, qualify. Among Kansas City’s Head Start parents, 1,351 are employed, 169 are in training programs, and 168 are enrolled in school....

    Each case will be judged on its own merits, but this is part of a pattern of selective prosecution.President Donald Trump has embarked on a campaign of prosecuting political foes, from ex-FBI director James Comey to New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). On Thursday night, his former national security adviser, John Bolton, became the third high-profile antagonist to face charges in as many weeks. What’s different now is that the Justice Department’s charges, and the evidence underlying them, appear stronger than in previous cases.A grand jury in Maryland indicted Bolton on 18 counts of transmitting and retaining national defense...

    TYLER, Texas (AP) — Celia Monreal worries every day about the cartilage loss in her husband’s knees. Not just because it’s hard for her to see him in pain but also because she knows soon their health care costs could skyrocket. Monreal, 47, and her husband, Jorge, 57, rely on the Affordable Care Act marketplace for health coverage. If Congress doesn’t extend certain ACA tax credits set to expire at the end of the year, their fully subsidized plan will increase in cost, putting it out of reach. Without insurance, they won’t be able to afford his expected knee replacement...
