US. President Joe Biden is being accused of responding to a reporter on Monday in a manner that recalls former president Donald Trump’s saying that there were “very fine people on both sides” of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. “Do you condemn the antisemetic protesters,” Biden was asked on Monday. “I condemn the antisemitic protests. That’s why I have set up a program to deal with that,” Biden said, per the pool report. “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.” “President Biden says there are good people on both sides of Oct....

Democrat Fani Willis’ legal troubles extend beyond recent revelations that she deceptively hired her otherwise under-qualified, secret, married lover to run the political prosecution of former President Donald Trump and other Republicans in Georgia. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare. Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election is a fawning political biography...

Since President Joe Biden took office in late January 2021, his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has worked tirelessly to transform the United States-Mexico border into a European-style checkpoint where border crossers and illegal aliens are briefly detained before being released into American cities and towns. Biden’s policies have been highly effective in achieving the administration’s ultimate goal to massively inflate the foreign-born population to the largest ever recorded, standing at nearly 50 million today. The latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate suggests that about 6.2 million border crossers and illegal aliens have been welcomed to the U.S. from January...

The situation at the U.S. southern border continues to worsen (except not according to the Biden White House): NEW: Lukeville, AZ right now. Only 2 Border Patrol agents here to move this mass of hundreds of illegal immigrants from around the world to a processing area. We continue to see enormous numbers of men from Africa who tell us they are going to sanctuary cities around the US. pic.twitter.com/zTSVLJFTGp — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) December 22, 2023 Looks like another mass illegal crossing is taking place in Eagle Pass this evening. https://t.co/lcj7ZdY4aa — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) December 21, 2023 Yep, they...

Corporate media are returning to their favorite question to ask of any and all Republicans who care about the integrity of elections: Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election? A New York Times employee asked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis the question in Iowa last week. NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns asked a variant of the question, to which DeSantis gave an extended reply about the proper and improper way to run elections. Completely uninterested in his substantive reply, she followed it up with: “Yes or no, did Trump lose the 2020 election?”The question is never asked in good faith, and...

"The Federalist" senior editor Mollie Hemingway says she no longer trusts the FBI and Department of Justice in response to the indictment of former President Trump, Sunday on FNC's "Media Buzz." MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: The larger context here is so important. I do think people would have be enwilling to hear from the Department of Justice that they need to indict their top political opponent, and hear that in good faith, if we had not experienced what we have from the past six years from this Department of Justice. We have a Department of Justice that had Hillary Clinton, who was...

It would appear Biden’s energy official, Sam Brinton, has been charged with stealing women’s luggage. No, really. Yeah, you’d think this is a story from The Babylon Bee but nope … this guy (gal, person, whatever) has been charged for snagging luggage that doesn’t belong to him/her/them. Sheesh, trying to comply with the intersectional bruhaha of the day is a serious pain in the butt. Anywho … Mollie Hemingway was good enough to share the story with us as we’re not exactly seeing a ton about it from the mainstream media. This story is somehow far, far, far crazier than...

VIDEOPlease avoid noticing how Joe Biden and the Democrats have screwed things up with much higher gas and food prices as well as overall inflation which they stupidly assured us would only be transitory. Try not to think about the absolute debacle of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in which $57 billion of military equipment was left behind for the Taliban nor of the very expensive easily avoidable Ukraine war. And above all, don't think about the REAL threats to democracy in terms of the FBI turning into political police nor of the government working with Social Media to act...

The widespread and coordinated plan to divide the Republican Party has failed, and it’s a major reason why Democrat prospects for the 2022 midterms are so bad. Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the Washington establishment’s goal for several years now. The “divide and conquer” plan is being run by the Democrat Party, its propaganda press, and former leaders of the Republican Party such as Liz Cheney, who see how the GOP’s new composition and approach has threatened or destroyed their hold on power. The D.C. partnership has worked...

Happy Recession Day, everybody! Over the past several days, we’ve watched with great interest to see just how the media would find a way to downplay our ongoing economic downturn under President Joe Biden. We’ve seen plenty of hackery already, but we new that the real spectacle wouldn’t get underway until the numbers officially came out. Well, the numbers officially came out, and the GDP shrank by 0.9% in the second quarter. That’s a recession, folks. Earlier this week, Erick Erickson made an observation about the media’s treatment of the Biden administration’s shameless attempts to redefine “recession”: We're about to...

The White House is refusing to share details about its coordinated efforts to engage in a federal takeover of election administration.President Biden really does not want the public to know about his federal takeover of election administration. Dozens of members of Congress have repeatedly asked for details, to no avail. Good government groups, members of the media, and private citizens have filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Not a single one has been responded to. All signs indicate a concerted effort to keep the public in the dark until at least after the November midterm elections. The lack...

Actor Matthew McConaughey visited Washington, D.C., this week to push for what he termed “reasonable, practical, tactical regulations” on gun rights, such as background checks, red-flag laws, and higher age limits.“We’ve got a chance right now to reach for and to grasp a higher ground above our political affiliations,” he said, and “a chance to make a choice that does more than protect your party, a chance to make a choice that protects our country now and for the next generation.”Corporate media and other activists praised his call for what they described as “common sense” restrictions on the right to...

House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made history on Thursday by endorsing Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary opponent to represent Wyoming, attorney Harriet Hageman. “After spending time with Harriet, it is readily apparent she will always listen and prioritize the needs of her local communities and is focused on tackling our nation’s biggest problems,” McCarthy told The Federalist. “I look forward to serving with Harriet for years to come.” The endorsement from the party’s top lawmaker in the lower chamber comes after a long string of Cheney attacks on her colleagues and even her own constituents, resulting in numerous censures and...

President Joe Biden ended his State of the Union address with the exclamation, “Go get ’em!” A lot of people wondered if Biden was talking about Vladimir Putin, but Luke Russert says everyone’s got it all wrong. So it’s a Scranton thing? The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway and a lot of others arent’ buying that explanation and are still wondering who it is we’re supposed to go get. The consensus seems to be: Corn Pop. Cornpop. Final answer. — Matt Mehan (@MTMehan) March 2, 2022 He had to get in one last cone before giving them up for Lent. We’re pretty...

The New York Times fudged book sales data in order to deny top-five billing to the best-selling “Justice on Trial,” the definitive and deeply reported account of the nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was written by Carrie Severino and Mollie Hemingway, a Senior Editor for The Federalist. Industry sales figures show that the New York Times ignored actual data on nationwide sales in order to depress the rankings not just for the Hemingway/Severino book, but also Mark Levin’s latest book on the corruption of modern journalism. According to Publisher’s Weekly, the only public source of...

"....Biden is lobbying to end the Senate’s legislative filibuster in order to push through his plan for a radical takeover of elections. The election bill would unconstitutionally empower the federal government to control state election procedures, and help make permanent the decreased election safeguards that caused so many problems throughout the country in 2020. The response of the old guard of the Republican Party this week has been to wholeheartedly endorse the media narrative that the 2020 election had no significant problems, while also opposing Biden’s plan to run elections. It’s a politically insane approach......"

The Facebook CEO planted left-wing activists into local election administration offices, Hemingway tells Tucker Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway sat down with Tucker Carlson to discuss how Big Tech swung the 2020 election for the Democrats, and why her new book "Rigged" exposes Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as the mastermind behind it all. In the latest episode of "Tucker Carlson Today," Hemingway describes a strategic effort by the tech billionaire, who she says bought left-wing activists access to local government administration election offices, enabling partisan staffers to organize massive get-out-the-vote efforts in largely blue cities from the inside.... ... He...

Mollie Hemingway’s new book, 'Rigged,' explains how the 2020 election was corrupted by the concerted efforts of America’s most powerful institutions.Hillary Clinton said Monday in an appearance on “The View” that we’re “in the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy.”She’s half-right. There is indeed a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy, but it doesn’t come from Donald Trump, whom Clinton claims is responsible for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and ongoing efforts to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election. (Clinton would know all about questioning the legitimacy of elections; as recently...

In multiple interviews, Former President Donald Trump unloads on the rigged 2020 election, Republicans who screwed him, and why he regrets elevating Anthony Fauci during the pandemic.What follows is adapted from three interviews of President Donald Trump for Mollie Hemingway’s latest book “Rigged: How The Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections,” out October 12. “I don’t like her … and I don’t like me.”Former President Donald Trump was looking at a photo of the two of us that his assistant had just taken on my phone. It wasn’t up to his specifications. We’d just completed the second...
