New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s gubernatorial campaign paid at least $62,500 in a settlement with a former aide, who alleges the Democrat lawmaker engaged in sexual misconduct towards him.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law on Tuesday that repeals legal immunity that the state had granted to nursing homes during the pandemic. Effective immediately, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities can be held civilly and criminally liable for treatment of individuals with COVID-19 after the bill was sponsored and championed by critics including state senator Alessandra Biaggi. Cuomo himself has faced calls to resign amid probes into whether the state mishandled nursing home deaths related to the pandemic and accusations that the state miscounted hundreds of nursing home deaths as hospital deaths.

Georgia Republican leaders Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are both caught on tape in scandalous situations connected to China, which will likely hamper their re-election chances in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is determined to defeat them as revenge for their refusal to help Trump in the 2020 election overtime period. President Trump endorsed Rep. Jody Hice, who is running against Raffensperger for Secretary of State in the Republican primary in 2022. Trump is also planning to campaign hard against Brian Kemp, who is expected to seek re-election in 2022. Raffensperger did not even manage...

President Donald Trump was impeached twice and acquitted twice. The ramifications of this are only now starting to ripple and flow. 2021 may be a bigger political year than 2020 with more public outrage than before unless, they are sufficiently distracted. Another pandemic might do that, perhaps Ebola. I hear its making a comeback. But, I digress. If there are no more pandemics, if there are no more mandates for lockdowns, if America does not go bankrupt or, go to war with China then, I think the country’s focus will be mostly on politics. As such, here are some predictions...

In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Kash Patel, a former Obama-era DOJ prosecutor, who was essential in uncovering the Spygate scandal. Personally recruited by Congressman Devin Nunes, he spearheaded the investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Russia probe. And later as Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, he pushed forward the release of numerous documents, transcripts, and text messages—so the American people could finally see it all for themselves. What was it like to spearhead this investigation, facing obstacles at every turn?

Reporter: "Do you have any plans to travel to the southern border?" President Biden: "Not at the moment."

The White House on Monday confirmed President Joe Biden would continue working with Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) despite a series of sexual harassment accusations and covering up the number of deaths in nursing homes. “We don’t want the people of New York or any state to be impacted negatively,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. “We will continue to work with a range of governors, including Gov. Cuomo, who I would expect will join the call tomorrow.”

On top of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s nursing-home scandal and sexual-harassment charges comes new cause for concern: an alleged coverup of serious flaws in the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. On Monday, the New York Thruway Authority denied any issues of concern over the $3.9 billion span, which replaced the Tappan Zee Bridge in 2017. But a report Sunday in The Albany Times Union alleges that the contractor “covered up” structural problems — faulty bolts — potentially endangering the public, and the authority basically let it slide. “The bridge has been and continues to be safe,” insisted Jamey Barbas, the director of...

Political scandals are not unknown in France and are well documented, but the list of well known politicians, including former presidents and prime ministers, accused in recent years of financial misdeeds or corruption is growing. In the present French political system, the president is a powerful figure: the head of state with supreme executive authority and command of the armed forces, with the ability to choose the prime minister, regarded as a symbol of the French nation. Directly elected by universal suffrage, not by an electoral college, for a term of five years, presidents cannot be voted out of office...

I write this with a heavy heart, as heavy as yours may already be from the revelations of Ravi Zacharias’ hidden life. If you hadn’t heard of him, Zacharias was considered one of this era’s greatest Christian apologists. If you haven’t heard the news, an independent investigation found he had systematically groomed vulnerable women over many years, plying them with attention and gifts, obligating them to return sexual favors, threatening them should they ever tell. I interviewed Zacharias once. He was brilliant, charming, winsome. And yet he was living a lie. The Victims of Ravi ZachariasWe’re starting to lose count...

A second former aide to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment, which came just days after his first accuser made her claims public.

Fanne Foxe, the exotic dancer whose relationship with Rep. Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) ended his career in the 1970s, died earlier this month at the age of 84, The Washington Post reported.

A defensive Gov. Andrew Cuomo went on a 15-minute rant Friday in which he vowed to counter what he claimed were “lies” and “misinformation” about his handling of nursing homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic — and accused his critics of “causing pain” to the relatives of residents killed by the disease. During a virtual news conference from Albany, Cuomo said, “I’m not going to let you hurt New Yorkers by lying about what happened. Surrounding the death of a loved one.” “So, I’m going to take on the lies and the unscrupulous actors, especially when they cause pain and damage...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) admitted Thursday that he had planned on spending longer than he did in Cancún, in a spur-of-the-moment trip his wife tried to recruit friends and neighbors to join that was motivated by Texas’ frigid temperatures, according to texts obtained by the New York Times, following widespread outrage over a vacation Cruz initially claimed was driven by his daughters and their friends. The senator’s wife, Heidi Cruz, tried to recruit friends for the trip on Wednesday and noted their house was “FREEZING,” the Times reported Thursday, citing texts obtained from a group chat. She proposed staying at...

In December, pharmacists made the happy discovery that they could squeeze an extra vaccine dose out of Pfizer vials that were supposed to contain only five. Now, it appears, the bill is due. Pfizer plans to count the surprise sixth dose toward its previous commitment of 200 million doses of Covid vaccine by the end of July and therefore will be providing fewer vials than once expected for the United States. And yet, pharmacists at some vaccination sites say they are still struggling to reliably extract the extra doses, which require the use of a specialty syringe. “Now there’s more...

This is the second time in two days that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration has loosened the restrictions on who can get vaccinated in New York State.

2020: Season 1. "Mostly Peaceful Protests": Federal buildings attacked, defaced, etc, national monuments vandalized, numerous businesses burned or looted, numerous people killed, a black cop killed, etc, etc. 2021: Season 2?

WASHINGTON — Dr. Deborah Birx has announced she plans to retire after being outed on Sunday for not following her own holiday travel guidance, calling the experience “overwhelming.” In an interview with Newsy, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator said she would help the incoming Biden administration but then planned to head for the exits. “I want the Biden administration to be successful,” Birx said, noting that she has worked in the federal government since the Regan administration in 1980. “I will be helpful in any role that people think I can be helpful in and then I will...
