Former news anchor Bill O’Reilly thinks President-elect Trump’s past dealings with the mob have prepared him for tough negotiations with foreign leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. As a New York City real estate mogul, O’Reilly said Trump was willing to sit down and talk with the mob because he knew it had the power to derail his projects. “Trump didn’t break the law, but he knew that the mob controlled the cement union workers and all this other stuff,” O’Reilly told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert in an upcoming special, “The United States of...

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly predicted President-elect Trump will face no Republican opposition in Congress now that he has GOP control of the House and Senate. O’Reilly called it a “unique time in history” that would give the former president a “free-fire zone” to implement his agenda. He told NewsNation’s “On Balance” that there won’t be “one Congressperson now that will be in dissent on the Republican side,” though he noted Democratic lawmakers likely wouldn’t support any Trump initiatives. O’Reilly compared Trump’s potential second term to former President Grover Cleveland, the only other nonconsecutive president, but noted Cleveland faced...

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo might be no longer employed by one of the country’s premier liberal propagandists, but he’s proving one thing: He can’t handle the truth. And conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly speaking the truth about Vice President Kamala Harris was a case in point.

Bill O’Reilly is “90% percent sure” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will be former President Donald Trump’s vice president pick. O’Reilly shared his prediction on NewsNation’s “On Balance with Leland Vittert,” emphasizing that Rubio as a running mate would help secure the Hispanic vote.

Nine months until the nation votes for President again, and here's where I think we are. Donald Trump's MAGA support encompasses around 35 percent of Republicans, and they will stand by their man. So, mathematically, Nikki Haley has no chance. I cannot see anything stopping a third Trump nomination. President Biden is drowning. A one-two punch of terrible policies and early-stage dementia has put him in the deepest hole since the hapless Herbert Hoover. The excesses of Donald Trump do bolster Biden a bit, and his party has nowhere else to go, but things will get worse this year for...

A new poll from the Wall Street Journal says if Nikki Haley wins the Republican nomination, she would beat President Biden by 14 points. Donald Trump is four ahead, and Ron DeSantis ties Mr. Biden. The poll is simply a snapshot but demonstrates a few important things. Because Ambassador Haley is not controversial, she polls well among non-political Americans who reject Mr. Trump's demeanor and don't really care how he governs. But committed Republicans continue to overwhelmingly back the former president because they perceive Ms. Haley as an establishment politician who will not aggressively challenge the ingrained liberal system in...

A few things are clear about the Trump indictment. First, after his press conference, I think it's fair to say that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is not exactly Eliot Ness. Or even Barney Fife. His entire case rests on the assertion that Donald Trump used illegal business practices to cover up or commit a greater crime. But what crime? Bragg told reporters that he doesn't have to say. Oh. It's instructive to put Alvin Bragg in the TV show "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." The fearless lawman is convinced that an alleged dalliance between Mr. Trump and an actress that...

You may have noticed that the Academy Award nominations were announced this week. It is also notable that few cared. That's really too bad because one of America's great cultural contributions to the world is our film industry. Well, it used to be, anyway. Gone are the days of the glamorous movie star and incredible films. Today we have superheroes blowing stuff up and dinosaurs rampaging through San Diego - frightening everybody except the homeless who are not moving from the Gaslight District, no matter what. The televised Oscar show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who'd better watch himself,...

Pity the fool who's vote remains undecided, as Mr. T might say. Surely, all Americans understand the pain Mr. Joe Biden has brought. Even those who are standing by their man cannot deny it. A recent CBS poll says 79 percent believe America is "out of control." However, if that survey were taken only among CBS News personnel, the out-of-control number would be around ten percent, if that. Liberal voters know things are not well, but nothing is worse than supporting "the big lie." To them, inflation, violent crime, open borders, energy dependence, woke incoherence, and massive federal spending pales...

Bill O’Reilly has reached a conclusion that has probably occurred to many people recently, namely that although Joe Biden always represented himself as a moderate regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities from Scranton, he “fooled a lot of folks, including me.” For, O’Reilly observes, Biden has recently been full of praise for extremists, saying that he agrees with everything Rep. Maxine Waters says, which includes, after the George Floyd killing, justifying violence and praising “one of the biggest haters on television,” Joy Behar. Although I certainly understand O’Reilly’s reasoning, I must disagree. My view is that the situation is far worse...

Bill O’Reilly, host of No Spin News and author of Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity, said on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that former President Donald Trump is “addicted” to fame. “Trump is addicted to the spotlight,” O’Reilly stated. “He has to have it, and that’s hurt him, because once you have to get attention at all times, you’re going to make mistakes. For example, this Maggie Haberman, New York Times reporter, he gives her three interviews. He knows she’s going cut his throat. He’s got to know what she’s been...

The headline reads this way: "Independent women voters have massively shifted from Democrats toward Republicans in the race for Congress as a faltering economy becomes an ever-larger issue, according to a New York Times/Siena poll released Monday." If that's true, and that poll has been suspect, it is all over for the Dems on November 8. The GOP will win both houses of Congress. I think that will happen. As I reported on the No Spin News, President Biden has gone from befuddled to delusional. Baghdad Bob territory. He told a reporter in Portland, Oregon the economy is "strong as...

After reading the Los Angeles Times over the past few days, I understand why the once-respected newspaper will most likely go out of business. At least, its print edition will. The paper is incredibly out of touch with working, non-ideological people who simply want a decent life for themselves and their families. Example. In both LA and San Francisco, homeless drug addicts are battering law-abiding citizens. Everyone knows this. We can see it with our own eyes. The crime statistics are staggering. And for every crime, victims suffer. Yet, the LA Times is not outraged by the addicted criminal or...

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly appeared in footage captured in the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York cursing at a JetBlue Airways employee over a delayed flight. “What you’re gonna do … It’s three hours late,” O’Reilly said to the JetBlue employee in the video obtained by The Daily Mail and published Tuesday.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said Monday that former President Trump will again run for office – advising him to do so in part based on a record of developing the COVID-19 vaccine during his administration. Appearing on Dan Abrams’s primetime show on NewsNation, O’Reilly said Trump called him after revealing he had gotten a booster shot, which elicited some boos from a crowd in Dallas during a speaking tour.

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said downplaying or diminishing the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is something that "could never have happened" during his time at the network. "Fox News is a different place than it was when I was there," O'Reilly said Tuesday evening while appearing on Dan Abrams' primetime show on NewsNation. “I don’t follow it that that closely anymore, but when I was there, there was a discipline from management that diminishing the Capitol riot could never have happened. And I'll state that firmly on the record.” O'Reilly had joined Abrams'...

Both Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly touted huge crowds ahead of their "History Tour." But it kicked off at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, with many empty seats, according to local media. "Massive crowd headed into FLA Live! The Trump/O'Reilly History show starts soon...," O'Reilly, the former Fox host, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly reportedly threatened to sue a Politico reporter over an article revealing that sales for his “History Tour” with former President Trump were low, citing conversations with venue ticketing officials. Politico’s Daniel Lippman on Friday reported that tickets for the tour, which has four stops scheduled at locations in Texas and Florida this December, went on sale June 14, though venue officials said sales have so far been slow compared with other events held at the arenas. [cut] However, Trump and O’Reilly have both pushed back on Politico’s reporting, with Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington saying...

This is a big eye opener! I give BOR full credit in exposing the money trail in BLM and how Soros is involved. They are like a corrupt charity. Quite shocking.

LEMON: He is right about that, too. But in my estimation, he doesn't go far enough. Because black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here's just five things that you should think about doing. Here's number five, ..........
