Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should “resign for for his own safety’s sake.” Co-host Pamela Brown said, “I want to ask you, before we go about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, you know that there are now at least two instances of him using the commercial app Signal to discuss sensitive military info. Trump tells The Atlantic that he believes Hegseth will get it together. Do you believe Hegseth should still be on the job? Bolton said, “No. I think he should resign for for his own safety’s sake...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump “should be in a padded room.” Navarro said, “Look, you know, if they’re saying that this was all strategic, then he is a sadist because what kind of government leader puts his people through this kind of distress and sadness and anxiety for a week just for giggles? His supporters always say that he plays fourth-dimensional chess. I think he should be in a padded room playing with his own drool.” She continued, “The things he does are just simply lunacy, and we’re not out of...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while President Donald Trump is going about it the wrong way, he’s correct that “Europe should pay for their own defense.” Maher said, “[T]here are some things I don’t like altogether, but there are some things, — I think you and I both agree, I don’t know if you do on all of these — but some of the things that Trump has ideas for, like, Europe should pay for their own defense. Yeah, they should. They’re rich. Border security, equity completely replacing the idea of equality. Some...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s behavior during White House visit on Friday as “unacceptable” and “one of the great diplomatic own goals in history,” underscoring the deepening rift between Washington and Kyiv. “It’s very difficult to do an economic deal with a leader who doesn’t want to do a peace deal,” Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television, following a contentious Oval Office meeting that derailed a planned agreement granting the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical minerals. The collapse of the deal marks a setback for Ukraine as it sought to deepen economic ties with...

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) claimed the Supreme Court of the United States created the ability to own guns via Heller (2008). In video published by Forbes, Hirono began her opening remarks by referencing an earlier hearing in which the “entire panel” of witnesses agreed that “this nation is awash in guns. She went on to stress the phrase “awash in guns” at least three more times, then said, “Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in various decisions, Heller was pretty much an astounding decision to me when suddenly, individual could, [under] the Second Amendment,...

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman described GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz’s attorney general nomination as a “god-tier” level of trolling from President-elect Donald Trump to “own the libs in perpetuity.” Trump, 78, selected Gaetz (R-Fla.) to lead the US Department of Justice on Wednesday, in a move that stunned lawmakers in his own party. When asked about the eyebrow-raising pick, Fetterman (D-Pa.) quipped that it was a master chess move by the former president. “I mean, I would describe it as god-tier level trolling, that has triggered a full-on China syndrome to own the libs in perpetuity,” Fetterman told an NBC reporter...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that “we need to know” what guns Americans own. Goldberg said, “Why are we compromising? You know what I’m tired of? I’m tired of trying to find a way to justify your being able to keep 75 guns in your house. I’m tired of trying to figure out a way to say, listen, we have rules and regulations. The Constitution is very clear. Scalia changed the meaning of what the Constitution says. Scalia changed it.” She continued, “I have to have a license to drive. It’s not a compromise. We...

Today, the Washington Post published another fake news hit piece on the amazing, and highly accomplished reporter, Christina Bobb from One America News (OAN). They are doing everything in their power to hurt the REAL reporters on the ground in Arizona who are reporting the truth about this historic audit process in the Grand Canyon State. The WaPo headline reads “One America News is the face of the Arizona election audit.” What does that even mean?

It is by now well understood that someone from the Ben Carson campaign is responsible for the whole "Carson going to Florida" mess, and during a press conference today, Carson admitted it.

The other day a white man referred to Lt Col Allen West's Conservatism as "Stockholm Syndrome." It seems that some white liberals believe a Black man cannot choose his own philosophies and therefore these particular people are the property of the Democratic party. Do you find the concept of the Liberal/"progressive"/Democratic Party owning a particular race of people disturbing? I most certainly do! I'll never be "property." I find myself disgusted by those who chose "benevolent bondage" over dangerous liberty. I feel hostility towards those who would usurp the freedom and autonomy of those who would choose liberty. “If you...

EFF is fighting for vehicle owners’ rights to inspect the code that runs their vehicles and to repair and modify their vehicles, or have a mechanic of their choice do the work. At the moment, the anti-circumvention prohibition in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act arguably restricts vehicle inspection, repair, and modification. If EFF is successful then vehicle owners will be free to inspect and tinker, as long as they don’t run afoul of other regulations, such as those governing vehicle emissions, safety, or copyright law. Most of the automakers operating in the US filed opposition comments through trade associations, along...

Rosie feels bad about Selleck ambush By SEAN DALY Last Updated: 12:17 PM, October 6, 2011 Posted: 11:20 PM, October 5, 2011 Rosie O’Donnell has one big regret. Days before the launch of “The Rosie Show” on the struggling OWN network, the controversial talk-show host says she is still kicking herself over a famous, televised ambush of Tom Selleck. “In hindsight, if I had to redo [it], I would do it differently,” she admits. He is “a kind man, who, for the rest of his life, has to be associated with me and that one event.”

Procter & Gamble, the world's largest household products maker, today cut its earnings and revenue forecasts for the second time in as many months, according to Reuters.

OWN, which has been a disaster from nearly day one with terrible ratings and Discovery quickly learning that their supposedly brilliant acquisition was quickly transforming into a money pit. Just in the past year, the signs have been pointing towards OWN’s imminent demise. First Oprah begged Nielsen viewers to watch her flailing network, and then Oprah fought with Rosie O’Donnell over the latter’s cancelled show.
