Sunday, during his show’s opening monologue, FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin told his viewers there was nothing to be “giddy” about regarding Friday’s blowup between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Levin, who maintains he supports Ukraine’s cause, said Zelensky “blew it” during the meeting with Trump. Transcript as follows: Saturday, before — this past Saturday, I spent the monologue discussing the genius of the Trump plan with respect to rare earth minerals in Ukraine, the partnership with Ukraine, and what would it do? It would involve American private sector investments, hundreds and hundreds of...

Tony Evers (D) supported a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person,” and replace the word “husband” with the word “spouse.” Dan O’Donnell, the host of the Dan O’Donnell Show shared an excerpt of Senate Bill 45, Section 3106, which also replaces the words “man” and “wife” for “person.” The bill, introduced on Friday, is about “state finances and appropriations, constituting the executive budget act of the 2025 legislature,” according to WSAU News.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” host Wolf Blitzer claimed it was “outlandish” for 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump to claim 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris supports taxpayer funding for gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants and those in prison, a stance that CNN itself reported that Harris took when she was running for president the last time and that her campaign refused to tell CNN if she still supports. While speaking to Harris-Walz Co-Chair Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA), Blitzer said, “I want to play for you, Sen., some of Trump’s more outlandish...

Axois is claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris supports former President Donald Trump’s border wall because she backs the Senate’s border bill that requires agency officials to spend border wall funds appropriated under Trump. An Axios headline makes the claim, “Harris flip-flops on building the border wall” even though the article includes no quotes or statements from Harris or her campaign. Her campaign pushed back, telling Axios: Harris advisers note that the bipartisan border proposal didn’t include any new money to continue building the wall. It just extended the timeline to spend funds that had been appropriated during Trump’s last...

Actor Kelsey Grammer said in a recent interview that he still supports former President Donald Trump. But Paramount, the studio behind his new Frasier reboot, reportedly cut the interview short before the actor could elaborate. Kelsey Grammer was speaking to the BBC Radio 4 about the new Frasier series, which streams on Paramount+. During the interview, BBC Radio 4 host Justin Webb asked Grammer if he was still a Trump supporter. “I am and I’ll let that be the end of it,” the Emmy-winning star replied. Grammer’s comment comes at the very end of the six-minute radio segment.

Andrew Cuomo had just finished addressing New Yorkers, saying that the sexual harassment allegations were unfair and politically motivated, a product of changing social mores and misinterpreted efforts at connection with underlings, when, towards the speech’s end, he abruptly pivoted. None of that mattered. He was quitting, he said, instead of being a costly distraction for New Yorkers. “For the good of the country, right?” said Rich Little, sitting with pleated khakis and his loafers perched on a plush couch in the empty lounge room of his midtown Manhattan hotel, in a tone that suggested he knew the lines of...

Georgia U.S. Senate Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” said he would support shutdowns in Georgia amid the coronavirus pandemic if recommended by “public health experts.”

I thought this was supposed to be a conspiracy theory. But here it is, straight from Trudeau’s mouth. The pandemic is the excuse for a “Great Reset” of the world, led by the UN. https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1328020783596269568 Here is a speech the Establishment does not want us to see. Now we know why they are so freaked out by President Trump. https://youtu.be/TW2L6sLAZr8

Erdoğan phones Maduro after U.S. backs opposition leader Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro in a show of support after U.S. President Donald Trump formally recognised Maduro’s rival as the interim president of Venezuela, Spanish daily El Pais reported on Wednesday.

Netanyahu says that while Israel sees the Kurdish guerillas PKK as a terrorist organization, 'it supports the legitimate efforts of the Kurdish people to achieve their own state' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel supports the establishment of an independent Kurdish state. A few days ago Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said during a conference at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya that "Israel and countries of the West have a major interest in the establishment of the state of Kurdistan. I think that the time has come for the U.S. to support the process."

Representative Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% (R-WI) 2014 gun control vote could present another obstacle to this path to the Speakership of the House. It is certainly one more aspect of Ryan’s past that caused Gun Owners of America to warn that a Ryan Speakership would simply be “Boehner on Steroids.” Ryan’s 2014 gun control vote came amid the emotional outpouring that followed Elliot Rodger’s May 23, 2014, Santa Barbara attack. Although Rodger passed a background check, registered his guns with the state–as is required in California–and only used ammunition magazines of 10 round or less, Ryan voted for Representative...

Scott Walker wants you to know he now opposes “amnesty” — even as he says he supports a policy that amounts to “amnesty.”

Former Sen. Scott Brown, who voted for the Massachusetts law creating “buffer zones” around clinics where abortions are performed, says he does not regret his vote in the aftermath of a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the law. The Massachusetts law kept protesters at least 35 feet clinic entrances. The high court unanimously struck down the law Thursday as a violation of First Amendment freedom of speech rights.

US President Barack Obama has supported a motion passed by Senate Democrats which weakens Republicans' ability to block White House nominations. The measure, known as the "nuclear option", curbs the power of the upper chamber's minority party to use a blocking tactic known as a filibuster. Mr Obama said the practice had gone too far, and was "not normal". Republicans vowed they would use the new rule against Democrats if they won back the Senate in the next election. Correspondents said Thursday's motion, which passed 52-48, will make American politics even more acrimonious. 'Power grab' At the White House on...

Former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a likely 2014 gubernatorial candidate, said he supported the Supreme Court’s ruling that cleared the way for gay marriage in California, and said that same-sex couples should be afforded the same rights and protections as heterosexual couples.

Israeli-American businessman Haim Saban said ... that Israelis have gotten used to American presidents who exude warmth toward Israel, including Bill Clinton, and that is why they do not feel comfortable with President Barack Obama. "Obama is not a warm person," he said, but "the claims that Obama has thrown Israel under the bus have no basis in reality." Speaking on Channel 2's Meet the Press Saturday, he cited statements by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak about the strength of U.S.-Israel ties as proof that the relationship between the countries has never been better. The number...

The Associated Press NEW YORK —Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told Republicans at a New York state party dinner that he would work for Mitt Romney’s victory in the general election if Romney wins the nomination. “We are dedicated to a unified Republican Party,” he said. Speaking Thursday in New York City, Gingrich said he’s stayed in the race “to articulate big themes and big ideas” but that “we have a moral obligation to defeat Barack Obama.” To that end, he said, he would work to support Romney, and he said Romney would do the same for him. “Romney and I...

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney renewed his support Wednesday for automatic increases in the federal minimum wage to keep pace with inflation, a position sharply at odds with traditional GOP business allies, conservatives and the party's senior lawmakers. "I haven't changed my thoughts on that," the former Massachusetts governor told reporters aboard his chartered campaign plane, referring to a stand he has held for a decade. He did not say if he would ask Congress to approve the change if he wins the White House this fall. Congress first enacted federal minimum wage legislation in 1938...
