A British news reporter was condemned by a group of Donald Trump supporters when she asked former President Donald Trump if 'he was ready to go to jail.' The journalist identified as Sophie Alexander, a producer with Sky News followed Trump supporters to an impromptu event at a cafe after the former president's arraignment on Tuesday held at a federal courthouse in Miami. Alexander stood among a crowd of supporters at Miami's famed Cuban eatery Versailles when she asked her question which was met with boos and a slew of profanities including, 'traitor!' with some telling at her to 'Shut...

Biden snaps at ‘wise guy’ Lester Holt for noting how president was wrong about inflation President Biden called NBC journalist Lester Holt a “wise guy” Thursday when the veteran TV anchor pointed out that Biden erroneously said high inflation would be temporary and that instead it surged to a new 40-year high. “I think it was back in July, you said inflation was going to be temporary. I think a lot of Americans are wondering what your definition of temporary is,” Holt said during Biden’s first TV interview of 2022. “Well, you’re being a wise guy with me a little...

Billions of dollars for roads, bridges, water projects and broadband will soon flow to Utah and other Western states now that President Joe Biden signed the sweeping infrastructure bill Monday. Biden called the plan a “monumental step forward” to rebuilding the backbone of the country without raising taxes. “America’s moving again, and your life is going to change for the better,” he said before putting his pen to the legislation. “This law is a blue-collar blueprint to rebuild America.” Few Republicans in the Mountain West supported the $1.2 trillion package, including $550 billion in new spending, to shore up the...

Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), are expressing support for censuring their fellow Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) for posting a photoshopped anime video this week depicting himself killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Cheney and Kinzinger have frequently criticized their own party over its continued ties to former President Trump, but it is nevertheless extraordinarily rare for lawmakers to back censure efforts against members of their own party. A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), formally introduced a resolution on Friday to censure Gosar over the video, which the Arizona Republican defended as a...

Former President Trump argued that then-Vice President Pence was ‘well-protected’ during the Jan. 6 riot and defended angry chants against the vice president from rioters, including those calling for him to be hanged, according to a new audio excerpt released by ABC News on Friday. The excerpt, shared by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl with Axios, is from an interview Karl conducted with Trump on March 18. The interview is part of a 90-minute interview conducted at Mar-a-Lago and will be included as part of Karl’s forthcoming book, “Betrayal,” according to Axios. In the audio clip, Karl asked...

Former President Trump — in a taped interview with Jonathan Karl of ABC News that was shared with Axios — defended, quite extensively, supporters who threatened to "hang" former Vice President Mike Pence. Why it matters: Well, it is unprecedented for a former president to openly say it was OK to threaten the life of his vice president.

Nearly half of all Florida voters now disapprove of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis' job performance. His disapproval rating has risen over the last two months as Florida's COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths have reached their highest levels since the pandemic began.

The Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth System and University Hospitals have not yet joined national retailers, colleges and other local hospitals in mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for their employees. The Clinic, MetroHealth and UH are not yet saying when, or if, they expect to issue a COVID-19 immunization requirement for employees. Statements released by each health system did not elaborate on what information that will use to make their decisions. Yet many health experts say vaccine mandates in healthcare settings help protect hospital workers, keep them healthy enough to stay on the job, protect immunocompromised patients and help stop community spread of...

On Wednesday, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said that former President Donald Trump was “inciting violent extremism” by meeting with the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot by a police officer during the Capitol riot on January 6. Wallace, a former spokesman for George W. Bush, made her comments on her show “Deadline.” Wallace said Trump was “sympathizing, once again, with the ‘insurrectionists’ about the death of Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt and potentially threatening Capitol police officers.”

MADISON, WI - Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a vocal critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, announced plans Friday to hold a news conference bringing together people who claim to have had adverse reactions to the vaccine. His plans drew renewed criticism from doctors who have been accusing Johnson for months of advancing conspiracy theories and putting people's health at risk. Johnson, who has also advocated for alternative and unproven treatments for COVID-19, said the Monday event in Milwaukee will allow people from around the country to tell their stories and express concerns he said have been “repeatedly ignored” by the...

CNN's Brianna Keilar describes herself on Twitter as an "anchor." The more honest description would be "left-wing activist." Keilar twice fretted to her Democrat-consultant guests that President Biden isn't doing enough. As Keilar first put it to Hilary Rosen: "Is Biden doing enough to combat the war on voting rights? Because clearly, some folks do not think so." Moments later, Keilar expressed the same concern to Bernie bro Chuck Rocha: "I wonder, Chuck, what you think in the near term if Biden waits too long to combat this assault on voting rights because he’s looking at his legislative priorities the...

Having low blood levels of vitamin D may not increase a person's risk for severe COVID-19, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open found. People with extremely low levels of vitamin D in their blood were not more likely to test positive for antibodies to the coronavirus, the data showed. The presence of antibodies -- cells made by the immune system -- suggests past infection. Those with moderately low levels of the vitamin also did not have a higher risk for testing positive for coronavirus antibodies, the researchers said. "We found no evidence for an independent association between low...

Earlier today The Gateway Pundit posted video of Joe Biden pretending to drive an electric truck at a Ford facility. Following his speech, the declining septuagenarian was put in an electric vehicle where he pretended to be driving. This was all a show by his handlers to make Joe Biden look like he’s in charge. Later today we received this email from a far-left USA Today “fact-checker” who is paid to harass conservative publications. Liberal outlets that lie for years about dossiers and Trump’s non-existent ties to Russia are never attacked by these far-left outlets. Hello, I’m Chiara Vercellone, a...

Headline only. I will not pay to see their fake news.

WASHINGTON - Allegiance to a lie has become a test of loyalty to Donald Trump and a means of self-preservation for Republicans. Trump’s discredited allegations about a stolen election did nothing to save his presidency when courtrooms high and low, state governments and ultimately Congress - meeting in the chaos of an insurrection powered by his grievances - affirmed the legitimacy of his defeat and the honesty of the process that led to it. Now those “Big Lie” allegations, no closer to true than before, are getting a second, howling wind. Republicans are expected to believe the falsehoods, pretend they...

Donald Trump and his allies have stayed quiet on Matt Gaetz Their silence is deafening as Gaetz struggles to save his political career Gaetz was one of Trump's top allies on Capitol Hill Trump, who has not been shy about blasting out statements on an array of matters, has yet to send one out on Gaetz Anyone that has ever spent 10 minutes with the guy would realize he's an unserious person,' one former Trump campaign aide told Politico of Gaetz

Has anyone else noticed the the big media meat puppets are now referring to illegal immigration as "Migration"?

The mainstream media goons who shrieked and moaned about a “free press” during the Trump administration are pretty mum after the Biden admin announced that they will be charging reporters for their COVID tests every time they enter the building. Without taking the $170 test, reporters will not be allowed to enter the building to go to press briefings. The Washington Post reported on Friday that the White House is seeking to put the new charges in place on Monday. Charges this high would make it much harder for smaller and independent outlets to get into the briefings, which would...

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed something they call the "Equality Act," which would, in their lingo, "amend existing federal civil rights laws to extend protections for LGBTQ Americans." But some other Americans would have their "protections" removed. On Thursday morning's New Day, co-host Alisyn Camerota interviewed one of the bill's chief sponsors, freshman Rep. Marie Newman (D-Illinois). When Camerota broached the issue of the Act forcing women to compete in sports against biological "trans" men, she couched it in terms of conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her allies being "very concerned" about that possibility. In fact, it's...

Fresh off an election in which former President Donald Trump made false claims of fraud, the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to ponder the legality of a restriction on early voting in Arizona that his fellow Republicans argued was needed to combat fraud. The Republican-backed law, spurred in part by a video purportedly showing voter fraud that courts later deemed misleading, made it a crime to provide another person’s completed early ballot to election officials, with the exception of family members or caregivers. Community activists sometimes engage in ballot collection to facilitate voting and increase voter turnout. Ballot collection is...
