In a sane world this would have to be true, right? He has no reason to lie. The footage will be globally available in 48 hours.We’ll all know the truth, or at least have strong opinions about it, by Friday afternoon. But in a sane world, he wouldn’t have gone boasting to New York tabloids in July that he had totally pwn3d Sacha Baron Cohen by foiling a prank, knowing that Cohen had footage of him lying on a bed with his hands down his pants.So, yeah, Rudy’s perfectly capable of telling lies which he has every reason to...

Having a leader who openly expressed empathy, compassion and love in moments like these that will ultimately move many voters. https://t.co/uHxKqdKYAH— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) October 22, 2020

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Wednesday that Iran and Russia are working to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election. “We would like to alert the public that we have identified that two foreign actors, Iran and Russia, have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections,” Ratcliffe said during an evening press conference, following efforts by the intelligence and law enforcement communities to ensure the election is safe and secure. According to Ratcliffe, Iran and Russia got their hands on U.S. voter registration information, enabling the foreign adversaries to...

A fascinating result considering how he was polling after his fateful impeachment vote. I’ll give you three theories to explain it. A new UtahPolicy.com/KUTV 2News survey shows 56 percent of Utah voters either “strongly” or “somewhat” approve of Romney’s job performance. 42 percent say they disapprove. Romney is in a strong political position right now with a net positive approval of +14.That’s a massive reversal from our previous survey in March when just 36 percent of Utahns approved of Romney’s job performance, while 49 percent disapproved…69 percent of “strong” Republicans disapprove of how Romney is handling his job, but...

Jon Passantino @passantino Mitt Romney tells @mkraju he has already voted in this year's election: “I did not vote for President Trump.” He wouldn’t say if he voted for Biden or wrote someone else in. 1:01 PM · Oct 21, 2020

Hollywood actor Sam Elliott has lent his deep, resonant voice to the Joe Biden campaign, narrating a new campaign ad that calls for Americans to unite behind the Democratic presidential nominee. “There is only one America — no Democratic rivers, no Republican mountains,” Elliott says in the commercial. “Just this great land and all that’s possible on it, with a fresh start. Cures we can find, futures we can shape. Work to reward, dignity to protect. There is so much we can do if we choose to take on problems and not each other, and choose a president who brings...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will independently review the Trump administration's anticipated coronavirus vaccine before approving distribution to its 39 million residents. "Of course we won't take anyone's word for it," Newsom said Monday as he named 11 doctors and scientists to review any rollout of vaccines by the federal government or vaccine developers. It is unclear whether the independent review process will set back the distribution process for New York and California in comparison to other states that may be able to deploy it and potentially slow the spread of COVID-19 at a faster rate.

Things have gotten “so unusual” when it comes to one of Cyndi Lauper’s biggest hits. The pop music legend is peeved that one of her most heartfelt songs is being peddled by an ardent supporter of President Trump, whose mission is to encourage disenfranchised groups to support the caustic commander-in-chief. “As a gay man in America, I spent most of my life believing that Republicans hated me,” #WalkAway campaign founder Brandon Straka said with the release of his audacious cover of the Lauper staple “True Colors.” “In the past few years, I’ve received more love, support, and respect from Republicans,...

With Amy Coney Barrett expected to join the Supreme Court as early as next week, the court’s action in a Pennsylvania voting case has heightened fears among Democrats about the court being asked to decide a post-election dispute and with it, the winner of the White House. The justices split 4-4 Monday over a Republican plea to undo a state court order and force elections officials to ignore absentee ballots received after Election Day, Nov. 3. The tie vote left the Pennsylvania court order in effect and allows mailed ballots to be counted if they are received by Nov. 6....

...The two attacks on opposite sides of Africa are among the scores of violent episodes to shake the continent in what experts are calling a breakout year for extremist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda or the Islamic State. .... The spike in terrorist attacks mirrors a steady, if less dramatic, increase in Islamist violence in parts of Syria and Iraq, driven by Islamic State fighters who slipped away after the caliphate’s defeat and have now regrouped.... The resurgence threatens to undermine one facet of President Trump’s reelection pitch to voters: his oft-repeated claim of victory over the Islamic State. ...The rise...

There was a time when Kevin Van Ausdal had not yet been called a “loser” and “a disgrace” and hustled out of Georgia. He had not yet punched a wall, or been labeled a “communist,” or a person “who’d probably cry like a baby if you put a gun in his face.” He did not yet know who was going to be the Republican nominee for Congress in his conservative district in northwestern Georgia: the well-known local neurosurgeon, or the woman he knew vaguely as a person who had openly promoted conspiracies including something about a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.

Ever win a bet with a friend and not been able to collect? Everyone knows a guy who owes you money but makes you feel like a jerk whenever you bring it up. Sooner or later, you just write it off and stop mentioning it. He lost the bet, but won in the long run. That’s the celebrities who promised to leave the country if Donald Trump won in 2016. The 2020 election is our chance to collect. Maybe they didn’t get the message last time, maybe they thought we were joking? We weren’t joking. Many people, me among them,...

What on earth happen to Drudge?!? I’ve been reading his website since I was 15! And this past year I took a break from politics. I know he wasn’t always the most conservative, but I can’t even go on that site now with seeing liberal vomit spewing everywhere. Almost ever main article I see now is just bashing the President!

SO I went there for the first time in a while and it's like a Biden campaign site. Every link is pro-Biden or anti-Trump. There is even a main headline story claming Biden beats Trump on Twitter! LOL! Biden isn't even in control of that account its some moronic interns. I thought Drudge was meant to be a conservative? Well, he was for about 20 years and all of a sudden he is Democrat. I don't get it...

HAVERTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A man in Havertown said he's fed up with young people who keep vandalizing a political sign outside his law office. John Williamson said he put up a Donald Trump sign in the front lawn of his law offices a couple of months ago, and it's been defaced ten times now. He has put up a surveillance camera at the corner of Eagle and Lawrence roads to try and catch the vandals, but so far Havertown police have not been able to identify who's responsible. Williamson has a big sign that cost him around $200 which...

TROY, Mich. (AP) — She walks with the determination of a person who believes the very fate of democracy might depend on the next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward. She wears nothing fussy, the battle fatigues of her troupe: yoga pants and sneakers. She left her Lincoln Aviator idling in the driveway, the driver door open -- if this house wasn’t the one to save the nation, she can move quickly to the next. For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could...

Actress Francia Raisa posted a hysterical video from her car on Sunday after allegedly getting “boxed in” by a pro-Trump car parade, seemingly accusing supporters of targeting her because she’s of Mexican descent and then “laughing” at her, apparently from inside their vehicles. “I was just on the 405 and I got stuck in that stupid Trump rally and they f***ing boxed me in and they’re pointing at me and laughing at me, saying, ‘haha,” the actress said in hysterics. “And literally, I almost crashed because they wouldn’t let me out. I was trying to go around it, and they...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday decried the recent New York Post bombshell report which alleged to have email correspondence showing Hunter Biden, son of 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, getting help from his father to obtain a “lucrative” relationship with Ukrainian energy company Burisma. This reportedly happened as the elder Biden was serving as vice president.

The polling aggregator on the website RealClearPolitic shows the margin in polls led by Joe Biden in a blue font and the ones led by Donald Trump in red. For a while, the battleground states have tended to be uniformly blue, except for polls conducted by the Trafalgar Group. If you are a firm believer only in polling averages, this isn’t particularly meaningful, but if you are familiar with Trafalgar’s successes in 2016, when (unlike other pollsters) it had Trump leading in Michigan and Pennsylvania and, in 2018, Ron DeSantis winning his gubernatorial race, it is notable. Regardless, it’s worth...

“You know what, I’m just fed up with the lot of them. Rudy Giuliani was a great mayor and a great leader but he’s turned into an unmitigated and now it seems unethical disaster. While President Trump has been trying to govern for the American people, all these hangers-on have been trying to make money for themselves off Trump,” he continued, calling Giuliani and his allies “grifters” and arguing he was distracting investigations into Joe Biden. Hilton also called out Joe diGenova, Victoria Toensing and John Solomon for their ties to the Ukraine scandal.
