On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) discussed the state’s Medicaid shortfall and said that California is “fine.” But “The depression in the stock market will hurt California over the next ten years.” And that the state has to provide Medicaid to illegal immigrants “so that we all don’t get infectious diseases.” Sherman said, “California’s fine. We rely significantly on taxing wealthy people on capital gains. The depression in the stock market will hurt California over the next ten years. You cannot treat a family by only treating some family members. If you don’t treat COVID in...

Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, House Oversight Committee Chairman Eli Crane (R-AZ) confirmed yet again this week. According to reports, the committee revealed that $241 million in taxpayer dollars were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals.

The confirmation is welcomed but the news is not new, as taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste...

The abortion industry’s extremism rarely shocks me, or anyone else entrenched in the pro-life movement, anymore. After all, it’s the business of killing innocent human beings in the womb for profit. Thankfully, the 2024 election between former Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump brought abortion extremism, preborn death up to nine months gestation, to the forefront of Americans’ minds, but also the unethical business practice of in vitro fertilization (IVF). And, it seems the public is starting to catch on to the ethical issues of the IVF industry and how it’s not as “pro-life” as some have been...

If Bass did not want to spend money on fighting fires in a state which lives under a constant threat of such disasters, then the question of what the city funded instead must be raised. The budget resolution for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which said on the front cover that the document was submitted by Bass herself before being modified and adopted...

Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that “it’s just crazy” there are educated people that don’t see how desperate and sick former President Donald Trump is.

On one side you have lying and name calling and dark, dark stuff—our country is in ruins, our country is a hell hole, our country sucks, isn’t everything terrible in our country, aren’t we awful, we are so awful—and, by the way, let me think of all the good names I can call the other people. Then the other side is smiles...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said that hearing Democrats publicly state their concerns that President Joe Biden couldn’t serve another four years in office “made me sick,” “It made me sick the way people were so quickly going and airing their concerns publicly, when they had the White House’s phone number.” Commentator Mike Barnicle asked, “The sitting President of the United States is a man known — noted for his compassion, his decency, his empathy, and, above all, his character. So, my question to you, were you at all surprised at the level of...

The comedian said it was a 'puzzling paradox' that rape jokes were 'completely unacceptable and unthinkable' - unless they were about prison. Maher said such jokes would be made more often since the former president's convictions for falsifying business records last Thursday.

**SNIP** But that isn’t what made the Hur report so poignant, so interesting—so funny. It’s something neither party nor much of the news coverage mentioned at all; the biggest missing detail from the stories elected officials told about the Hur report isn’t any legal technicality in the decision not to prosecute Biden for holding on to classified documents. It’s what Biden held on to, and why. The centerpiece of the investigation is a lengthy memo Biden wrote in 2009 to then-president Barack Obama, which investigators found—along with classified materials used to draft it—tucked in a cardboard box in Biden’s garage...

President Joe Biden gained a “reputation” during his first three years in the White House for reportedly using curse words when speaking about former President Donald Trump. Although Biden vowed to restore “decency” to the White House, he failed to make good on his promise, according to Politico’s Jonathan Lemire, Lauren Egan, Myah Ward, and Ben Johansen, who acknowledged Biden’s habit of cursing his political opponents: The president has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a “sick fuck” who delights in others’ misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description.

Some studies suggest the virus leaves its mark on the immune system even after an acute illness passes, raising an important question:...
