Former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi said on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline” that those who voted for President Donald Trump should question whether they are American anymore. Figliuzzi said, “This Reince Priebus clip that you played, Nothing to see here, don’t worry, remain calm, he occasionally likes to take a grenade out and throw it on the floor to see what happens. I’ll tell you what happens when you play with a live grenade and toss it on the floor eventually it explodes. The only question for us is whether it’s going to explode back on Trump or explode...

Imagine waking up at dawn to six armed officers storming your home—not for drugs, not for weapons, but for posting a meme. That’s exactly what happened in northwest Germany, and CBS was there, cameras rolling, treating it like some noble act of justice. This isn’t journalism. This is collaboration with tyranny. The suspect’s crime? Sharing a so-called "racist" cartoon online. German authorities, operating under their draconian hate speech laws, seized his laptop and cellphone, claiming these devices were used to spread "hate." Fifty homes were raided that day. Fifty people had their doors kicked in. For words. Germany’s speech laws,...

Another day, another half-truth from the mainstream media. This time, CBS’s 60 Minutes wants you to believe Kristina Drye was “fired” from USAID during the agency’s chaotic shutdown. But there’s a problem with that narrative—she wasn’t a USAID employee. Not even close. Drye was a speechwriter working for XLA and Jefferson Partners, firms that provided services for USAID Administrator Samantha Power. When Power resigned, Drye’s contract ended. That’s not a firing. That’s what happens when your boss leaves and the job disappears. But CBS didn’t bother telling you that, did they? The USAID shutdown wasn’t some random event—it was part...

This makes me mad. So wrong — MAGA isn’t racist! SNL knows they can keep pushing these stupid stereotypes for laughs. Sick.

In an interview with NBC News' Meet The Press, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told moderator Kristen Welker, “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never." “This is the war in Ukraine, against us, and it’s our human losses," Zelenskyy stressed to Welker that the risk of Russia occupying Europe is 100%. "If the United States pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe," Welker repeated, to which the Ukrainian president clarified: "Not all of Europe at first; they will begin with small countries that have been in the USSR, the Soviet Union," adding...

President Donald Trump loves to take a phrase and drain it of all meaning. In his first term, he transformed the term "fake news" from describing a specific problem with a type of misinformation into an attack on any journalist he didn't like or a piece of journalism that made him look bad. Now he's doing the same to the word "lawfare," and the stakes are even higher — including, potentially, the guardrails of our democracy. Coined in 2001, "lawfare" refers to the use of courts and other legal systems to damage or delegitimize a political opponent. After Trump left...

The liberal media were apparently still trying to suggest President Trump was a Russian asset during Tuesday’s edition of CNN This Morning. Anchor Jim Sciutto and senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen’s redux of the Russia Collusion Hoax involved them juxtaposing Trump’s desire to bring the War in Ukraine to a close with an ad put out by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). At one point, CNN even did a crossfade putting the SVR emblem over Trump’s face (pictured in this piece).

NBC News’ chief foreign affairs Andrea Mitchell said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there was an international backlash developing against President Donald Trump’s agenda. Host Kristen Welker said, “We just talked to the Trump national security adviser amid questions about Gaza, whether he plans to try to make Canada the 51st state and of course, all of these cuts that we’re seeing. How do you see the Trump doctrine right now?” Mitchell said, “It appears to the world as might makes right in Panama, Canada. You can argue that this is an opening bid but we’ve seen in...

American citizens, including citizens of Native tribal nations, have been pulled into the vast immigration operations ordered by President Donald Trump in accordance with his campaign vow to conduct mass deportations since Day 1. Those who are getting caught in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids are being targeted because of their race or skin color, according to witnesses.

Outraged Chicago locals have slammed CNN for selective reporting of migrant raids in the city. The liberal broadcaster has largely focused on the human tragedy of the raids, despite violent criminals and a pedophile being among those also seized. In one news item, CNN showed an Illinois woman breaking down in tears saying her grandfather had been deported after 30 years in North America. 'They opened the door because they thought maybe one of us were in trouble or something happened to us,' said the interviewee, Yelitza Marquina of Waukegan. 'I'm already heartbroken myself and I can't imagine little kids...

This weekend, a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy outrageously identified the vehicle whereabouts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in East San Jose, California, which is known for violent gang activity. KCBS 740 AM – not to be confused with the Los Angeles CBS affiliate with the same name – elevated the insane unmasking of ICE agents from the leftist Rapid Response Network, which fights against deportation initiatives during the January 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News. But to make matters worse, anchor Bret Burkhart gave exact descriptions of the vehicles the ICE agents...

More than a dozen officials who worked on the criminal investigations into Donald Trump have been fired, according to sources familiar with the matter. A letter from acting Attorney General James McHenry to the officials said they cannot be “trusted” to “faithfully” implement Trump’s agenda. “You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump. The proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust superior officials place in their subordinates,” McHenry wrote. “Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President’s agenda...

ABC News Chicago broadcasted tips to illegal foreigners on how to evade ICE. ICE is looking for criminals and terrorists. They are aiding and abetting illegal criminal migrants. The host in the clip below said ICE is targeting schools and churches when they are targeting foreign criminals. After preying on people’s sympathies, ABC News shifted to Gov. Pritzker, complaining that ICE was looking for 2,000 illegal foreigners to begin with. He knows they are likely criminals.

Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” co-host Joy Behar told Washington, D.C. Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde that she was “more fearlessness than anyone in Congress right now.” Tuesday at the National Prayer Service, Budde said, “I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives. And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that President Donald Trump has kicked off his second term by “issuing a challenge to the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.” Wallace said, “I guess we’ll start here. Buckle up, the country and the world are now experiencing what this is like. The first hours of the second Trump presidency happening right now. Donald Trump is at the U.S. Capitol. Soon he will head to that rally inside Capital One Arena. It’s happening in place of the Inaugural Parade because of bitterly cold temperatures. Donald Trump is expected to take...

Left-wing cable news channel MSNBC is back to foaming at the mouth about Donald Trump. Anchors Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid went off the deep-end while covering Inauguration Day, both aghast at the prospect of a democratically elected president making good on his policy promises that decisively swept him into office. “How is this happening in America?” Maddow asked incredulously at the sight of Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem seated beside Apple CEO Tim Cook at the inauguration ceremony, Mediaite reported. “How is this happening? Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with cabinet...

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday during the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump that it was tough to watch the “takeover of the United States by a base mentality of greed and corruption.” Reid said, “The promise of the incoming administration is to wipe away the civic memory of Washington, to get rid of and to fire all of the people who normally transition as civil servants from one administration to the next. The promises on the table are 200 some odd executive actions, an attempt to get rid of birthright citizenship, an attempt to do mass deportation.”

Poor Jon Meacham. The resident Morning Joe historian and occasional Biden speechwriter was in a decidedly dark and depressed mood on this Inauguration Day. Just look at the guy! Meacham was down on the United States in general, claiming that "for 250 years, [America] more often than not has gotten things wrong." And he was down on Trump in particular. Meacham compared, albeit via a John Belushi line, Trump's impending presidency to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Meacham addressed himself to his fellow Trump detesters. He warned them that the days ahead will be "hard" and "depleting," and acknowledged that...
