Kid Rock told 'Jesse Watters Primetime' he put politics aside and performed at Barack Obama's inauguration

Biden champions the action as win for climate change, while Trump's team says it could keep energy costs high President Biden announced an 11th-hour executive action on Monday that bans new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters. Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska's Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing. He invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands...

Ever see a drunk asked to leave a nice restaurant? It doesn’t have to have been in person, you’ve likely seen it in a movie or a TV show; something where the person is asked nicely, but forcefully, to leave and they cause a huge scene as they walk to the door – knocking over drinks, bumping into people, being very loud, etc. That guy is Joe Biden. The current President of the United States and his administration are going to go out like a destructive drunk and it should lead not only to the destruction of his legacy, but...

The White House has confirmed that lame-duck President Joe Biden is trying to funnel “as much funding as possible” to “climate change” groups as he can before his term ends next month. The Biden administration is seeking to rapidly disperse taxpayer-funded climate cash before President Donald Trump is sworn in to power. Biden is hoping to cement his green energy agenda before Trump assumes the Oval Office in January. In a memo released by the White House, Jeff Zients, Biden’s chief of staff, boasted that the president is pumping as much climate cash “as possible before the end of the...

Former President Bill Clinton relitigated the e-mail scandal of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (snip) with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. SCARBOROUGH: I want to read from something that you wrote in the book about the 2016 election. This whole thing is hard for me to write. I couldn't sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry. I wasn't fit to be around. I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts, rage, which lasted for years, and bothered or bored people who thought it was pointless to rehash things that couldn't be changed. In this chapter,...

Never a dull day: America’s political culture is ever changing. Currently, we are witnessing a beautifully orchestrated “display” of how one leaves the office of president as a sore loser. After the 2020 election, Donald Trump was defeated and had to vacate the White House to make room for Joe Biden. In the end, whatever you think about the president-elect, January 6 was a political protest that devolved into a riot. Nothing more, nothing less. It certainly was not an insurrection. For many it was an expression of contempt for Washington establishment elites and their sense of entitlement to everything...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted.

Local news just announced that the dumbest Senator in Congress Bob Casey has just conceded .

Funny how the defenders of "democracy" behave when they do not like its results.Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who narrowly lost his re-election bid to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, has refused to concede the race.Moreover, according to one report, Casey has mounted a legal challenge. "McCormick was leading by more than 30,000 votes when AP called the race at 4:09 p.m., and though there were an estimated 91,000 votes still outstanding, there were not enough in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference," the outlet explained.

Kamala Harris has yet to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump, and the pressure on her to do so is mounting as her dour numbers keep rolling in. As it stands, the vice resident is on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential election. She could even be on pace to have the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since the 1988 race. The world was shocked as the results favoring Trump trickled in Tuesday night as many polls indicated that Harris had a slight lead heading into Election Day. Trump has blown that prediction up...

Nov 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver a speech conceding defeat in the presidential election to Donald Trump at 6 p.m. (2300 GMT) on Wednesday, two sources told Reuters.

Maybe now she'll finally go away (or at least accept the fact that no one cares)... Hillary Clinton can't catch a break, the poor thing. It's been almost eight years since the hot-sauce-in-the-purse lady hosted a "victory" party under a giant glass ceiling and primed confetti cannons to blast out shards of symbolism to celebrate her historic election as president. Instead we got her longtime goon John Podesta fighting back tears and telling everyone to go home for the night. As a consolation prize, the powers that be touted the hell out of the memoir Hillary wrote after that disastrous...

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday he would not consider being Donald Trump’s running mate one day after the former president confirmed the former 2024 rival was on his “short list” — with DeSantis revealing that he was looking at other prospects, including another White House bid in four years. “People were mentioning me [as a potential vice president]. I am not doing that,” DeSantis told Republicans his presidential campaign had recruited to be delegates to this summer’s nominating convention during a thank-you call, audio of which was shared exclusively with The Post. The 45-year-old also went in-depth about who...

In his first interview since dropping out of the presidential race, DeSantis told Blaze TV’s Steve Deace that the blame is on Iowa caucusgoers who rallied behind front-runner Donald Trump even though many didn’t like him. “They did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over,” DeSantis told Deace on Tuesday. DeSantis, who lost to Trump in the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, added that those voters were “checked out” and had “just totally dropped out of the process.” The Florida governor told Deace he’d consider running...

After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious. Yeah, he actually said that. The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched. The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has...

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida lashed out at the media Monday after networks declared former President Donald Trump the winner before some caucus sites had started voting. “It is absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote,” said DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo. “The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.”The news broke at a caucus site here right around the same time a surrogate for Mr. DeSantis had taken...

Ron DeSantis has further alienated the America First conservatives he hoped to win over from Donald Trump’s base by disparaging January 6th protestors, denying they were motivated by patriotism.Speaking at a CNN town hall, the Florida Governor was asked if “the January 6th insurrections display[ed] patriotism, as some of them claim they did” by an audience member.“No, of course not,” DeSantis replied immediately. “I mean, that was not a good day for the country. I think the media has taken that, and I think the left has taken that, and really tried to politicize it, but it was not a...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy delivered his farewell address on the House floor, commending Democrats for their embodiment of America’s diversity while censuring his own party. Once holding the Speaker’s gavel, McCarthy saw his tenure end abruptly in October after a historic ousting due to his failed leadership. Earlier this month, McCarthy announced that he is retiring from Congress at the end of the year. “I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote in a Wall Street Journal. “I...

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday clapped back at NATO opposition to freezing the war in Ukraine and said their support for Kyiv was tantamount to their direct involvement in the war. "If NATO, through the mouth of [Secretary General Jens] Stoltenbeg, once again declares that they are against freezing, as they say, the conflict in Ukraine, then they want to fight," he told reporters according to Russian media outlet Tass. "Well, let them fight!" "If they declare at the same time that they are not waging a war against Russia, but in fact they are doing exactly that,...
