Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Megyn Kelly ended Jake Tapper’s career today. Total bloodbath. She left him rambling, speechless, and admitting he helped cover up Biden’s decline. He had years to press Biden and didn’t. Now he’s exposed… and finished. Watch:

I am so bored with being lied to. I am even bored with the new lies being told to cover the old lies: Now It Can Be Told!!! The Behind-the-Scenes Inside Story of How I Lied to You for the Last Half-Decade by Jake Tapper and Wossname. Exclusive Excerpt! The longtime granite-jawed Deputy Assistant Under-Counselor to the President for Running the Country peered thoughtfully through the Oval Office window to the vast city beyond before loosening his cocktail dress and kicking off his three-inch heels. I was stunned by the evident anguish on his face as he turned to me...

Eleven minutes into the June 27 presidential debate, CNN anchor Dana Bash slipped a note to her colleague Jake Tapper after President Biden gave a rambling, incoherent answer. "He just lost the election," she wrote The event at the network's Atlanta studios — recounted in Tapper's and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" — turned out to be the most consequential presidential debate in history

It was the most poorly kept secret in Washington, DC – a city known all too well for poorly kept secrets. The country’s chief executive, supposed leader of the free world, was neither mentally nor physically up to the job. Before the very eyes of the American people, Joe Biden was deteriorating. It seemed as if every time he appeared in public, Biden said or did something bizarre. There were confusing monologues, sometimes almost unintelligible; there were episodes of paralysis; the impromptu wandering off – clearly in the wrong direction. It all played out on national television, and everyone was...

VIDEOPoor Jake Tapper is about to face a BRUTAL week hyping his new book "Original Sin" about the coverup of Joe Biden's mental decline. Too bad for Tapper that he was at the forefront of the media coverup with plenty of video clips to prove it. So what to do? Well, apparently Tapper must have thought that his waaaay too late FACT CHECK in the affirmative of a statement by President Trump that there was a coverup of Biden's mental decline would serve as his shield to protect him from the upcoming attacks on his credibility. FACT CHECK: Won't Work!...

At home, President Trump is ordering up investigations into his political opponents and finding creative ways to use his executive power to ruin the lives of even some of his milder critics.Abroad, Mr. Trump has sent a different message: Let bygones be bygones. Even if those bygones involved trying to assassinate him or working with Al Qaeda.In a series of speeches and off-the-cuff remarks during the first major foreign trip of his second term, Mr. Trump has told audiences in the Middle East that he is willing to set the past aside in the interests of peace and profit.“I have...

VIDEOAh! What a difference a mere week makes. A week ago, much of the media was eagerly anticipating a SURGE in inflation due to President Trump's tariffs. They repeatedly cited "experts" proclaiming the inevitability of such a rise in inflation with NO alternative scenario possible. Unfortunately for them, reality did not cooperate with liberal fantasy yet again.

Tariffs are costing automakers billions, but they’ve announced little in the way of car price hikes. While that’s good for car buyers, it’s not necessarily good for the American economy. Costs have ballooned for car companies after the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on imported cars — nearly half the US car market — as well as an additional 25% on imported parts, which every car built here depends on.

Disappointment brings discouragement. Constant failure to realize our plans or expectations will cause us to lose confidence and hope, and inability to handle disappointment becomes a great tool. The following story, given to me by a friend and mentor 45 years ago, written by Walter Knight, illustrates. Discouragement It was advertised that the Devil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the day of the sale the tools were placed for public inspection, each being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of implements.... Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Pride, and so on comprised...

MSNBC’s revamped primetime and weekend programming is already faltering, with dismal ratings, sharp audience drop-offs, and a primetime collapse from one of the network’s most promoted new faces. What was meant to signal a new chapter beyond Rachel Maddow’s dominance has instead exposed serious trouble. In a bid to reshape its identity amid changing leadership and a shifting cable news landscape, MSNBC launched several new shows: The Weekend, The Weekend: Primetime, and The Weeknight. But if the early ratings are any indication, viewers are not impressed. Take The Weekend, for example. Debuting at 7 a.m. on Saturday with hosts Jonathan...

Is anyone watching Fox News during the last 10 minutes or so?

After an unprecedented on-air hissy fit last week over the forced exit of a longtime editor, 60 Minutes's Scott Pelley decided to go all in on the Trump-hate, using his on-air time to praise and promote Marc Elias, the architect of the Russia hoax scandal and probably the world's sleaziest lawyer. According to Breitbart News's Joel Pollak: CBS News’ 60 Minutes portrayed Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias as a victim of President Donald Trump’s supposed retaliation against law firms — without once mentioning Elias’s sordid background. CBS’ Scott Pelley portrayed Elias as a hero, the only lawyer brave enough to...

Her status as a well-known media elite didn't seem to help as CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell's D.C. husband's restaurant was raided by ICE agents Tuesday. The Trump administration has been working to remove illegal aliens from the food industry, as the Washington Free Beacon reported. "Restaurants in the DC, including Chef Geoff's in Northwest and Millie's in Spring Valley[,] were subject to I-9 audits by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, today, per ICE official and DHS official," CBS News's Nicole Sganga reported on X. "Restaurants were delivered 'notices of inspection' and asked to question employees about their work authorization."

Some people just have to learn the hard way. Then there are people who just never learn. On October 6, 2024, 60 MINUTES broadcast an interview with Kamala Harris. Harris's response to a question about Israel from Bill Whitaker raised eyebrows, particularly those of Donald Trump. Trump demanded to see the unedited transcript and after a battle the transcript was released. It clearly showed that the broadcast interview had been edited in Harris's favor. The lawsuit stems from an exchange Harris had with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t “listening” to...

Friday, during Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly called out so-called “fake polls” intended to pressure congressional Republicans to back away from the support of President Donald Trump’s agenda. “You know, it was interesting to watch the focus group, Robert, with Van Jones, that I had in the opening monologue,” host Sean Hannity said. “And you know, people are not regretting voting for Donald Trump and then to watch their polls to say, yeah, if the election were held again today, Trump would still wipe the floor with Kamala Harris or probably any other Democrat for that...

"There are very, very few people in the West who seriously believe that".. The Associated Press complains that President Trump is calling their political allies “Communists”. For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values. In 2025, communism wields big influence in countries such as China, Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba. But not the United States. “The core of communism is the belief that governments can...

Just moments into President Donald Trump's latest sitdown at Mar-a-Lago with NBC News' "Meet the Press," Trump was forced to rebuke bias by host Kristen Welker's line of questioning, even if the interview ultimately featured Welker changing her tone and even smiling and adopting Trump's messaging."Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is such a dishonest interview already," Trump told Welker in a wide-ranging interview to mark his administration's 100 days milestone this week, blasting her for cherry-picking data points to tarnish his work in contrast to massive Biden-era inflation – by suggesting using tariffs to leverage a reworking a global trade order...

Last week, 60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned in protest — but Owens and the rest of the news program have never taken responsibility for their own corruption.Last week, Bill Owens, the executive producer of CBS’ flagship news program 60 Minutes, resigned, “citing encroachments on his journalistic independence,” per The New York Times. In the first show since the news of Owens’ resignation broke, 60 Minutes ended the program with a glowing, if dubious, tribute to Owens that has since gone viral online. The program took the unusual step of alleging unethical behavior by CBS’ corporate parent Paramount for...

In a stunning new development, President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order defunding National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda machines. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the president previously called on Congress to defund the absurdly dishonest “news” organizations following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content. This includes documentaries about transvestites and transitioning, a documentary about “Racist Trees,” and so-called educational programming for young children, including toddlers, that featured a cross-dressing freak. They have continued pushing false narratives, especially about the Trump...

President Trump humiliated ABC’s Terry Moran by revealing why he picked him for “the break of a lifetime” in getting to interview him on his 100th day in office. The commander in chief put the senior national correspondent in his place during a tense exchange in which Moran challenged him about suspected MS-13 tattoos on deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.
