Michael Cohen, formerly a personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump, predicted Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that Rudy Giuliani would do what he did and turn on Trump. Cohen said, “I told him was that Donald Trump doesn’t care about anyone or anything, that he will be the next one to be thrown under the bus, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

Actor turned London Mayoral candidate Laurence Fox has come up with yet another snappy campaign slogan… Don’t tell me what to do. F*** off. The Reclaim Party leader was being interviewed by Breitbart News, appropriately enough over a pint and cigarettes in a pub, while on the campaign trail in Sutton, South London. Woke has effectively cancelled his career as an actor. [He’s best known DS James Hathaway in Lewis]. So now he’s on a political mission to cancel woke. We’ve let the genie out of the bottle and the genie is that people will steadfastly bully people that don’t...

​Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly thinking about another run for president in 2024. Christie hasn’t spoken publicly about throwing his hat in the ring other than telling radio host Hugh Hewitt that he won’t rule out running against former President Donald Trump in a primary again, Axios reported on Wednesday. But the outlet noted that if Trump doesn’t seek election in 2024, the candidate field would be wide open.

Monty Python veteran John Cleese is mocking fellow actor Hank Azaria over his apology for voicing the role of Apu on Fox’s The Simpsons. In a sarcastic gesture, Cleese offered his own apology for making fun of “white English people” in numerous Monty Python sketches. John Cleese tweeted his pretend apology Tuesday, just days after Hank Azaria said during a podcast interview that he feels the need “to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize” for playing Apu, the show’s Kwik-E Mart proprietor who hails from India. In response, Cleese expressed sorrow “for any distress...

Biden detailed his first conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping in which he made his intentions very clear that America is unwilling to have a direct confrontation with the increasingly hostile state. “I made it clear to him, again what I’ve told him in person on several occasions, that we’re not looking for confrontation,” he stated. “Although, we know there will be steep, steep competition.”

On Monday’s The View, the liberal hosts were more upset at Sen. Ron Johnson [R-WI] making incendiary statements about Black Lives Matter and Antifa, than they were by scandal-plagued New York Governor Andrew Cuomo refusing to resign. Co-host Joy Behar was reluctant to see Cuomo go, because he had “good points” and a Republican would be far worse: What worries me is if he resigns and fast forward down the line a Republican becomes the governor of New York state a lot of things will happen that I won't be happy with. I mean, let's talk about for a second...

Macomb County Prosecutor says criminal charges possible against Governor Whitmer over nursing home deaths Criminal charges could be in the works against Governor Gretchen Whitmer over putting COVID patients inside nursing homes used as hubs early in the pandemic. New Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido says people who lost loved ones to COVID as residents or staff inside nursing homes should go back to get the vital information about the circumstances of their death and take that to local police and make a complaint as a wrongful death. Lucido says with HIPAA laws, he can’t get that information in his...

Former President Donald Trump told Fox News to dump Republican strategist Karl Rove in a statement from his political action committee Thursday. Rove wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday when he noted a so-called "muted enthusiasm" for Trump following a straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference showed 68% said the former president should run again in 2024. "Never had much of a feeling for Karl, in that I disagreed with so many of the things he says. He's a pompous fool with bad advice and always has an agenda," Trump wrote in a statement from his...

Ferguson activists demanded $20 Million from Black Lives Matter and said the organization of not providing enough aid to local activist groups in Ferguson, Missouri and other places around the country where racial justice protests have occurred. “Today, we hold Black Lives Matter accountable,” said Tory Russell in a video posted to twitter.

“You need a lot of room to pass a 72 wheeler when you’ve got 42 wheels yourself…” wrote the video poster. In the clip, the somewhat desolate outback stretches before them as the filming driver comes up on the road train and seizes an opportunity to pass it, which takes a considerable amount of time and space thanks to its 72 wheels. ...“When strapping down the load takes you two days,”

Several House Republicans are demanding Speaker Nancy Pelosi answer questions about her actions and what she knew before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. She's not answering. Instead her office issued a statement accusing the Republicans of trying to "deflect" responsibility for the violence away from President Trump, who was acquitted last week on a charge that he incited an insurrection. House Administration Committee Ranking Member Rodney Davis, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer and House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes sent a letter to Pelosi asking why a request...

Hollywood celebrities flew into a paroxysm of rage on Saturday after the Senate acquitted former president Donald Trump of inciting the Capitol Hill riots of January 6. Left-wing stars lashed out at the 43 Republicans who voted to acquit, calling them “traitors” and “fascists.” Anti-Trump celebrities including Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, Bette Midler, and Rosie O’Donnell led the collective meltdown. “It is a sad day in America when only 7 republicans have the patriotism and integrity to convict a tyrant,” Milano tweeted. The stars aimed much of their venom at Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying that the former majority leader...

For some reason, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley was a speaker at the Republican convention on Monday night. Nobody is fooled by the unified front that Haley’s appearance presents. Haley was not at the RNC to signal her support for the populist agenda that Donald Trump ran on in 2016, and should run on in 2020 as well. She was there to advance her own ambitions, through superficial association with the Trump administration. These ambitions should be checked now. Allowing Nikki Haley to become a leader in the Republican Party would be a return to Bush-era conservatism, defined by...

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is asking Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators to release about $4.1 billion in state bond funds to ensure that there is enough money to complete construction that’s now underway on the bullet-train route in Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties. If the governor, the state Assembly and the state Senate ultimately concur this spring, the money would come from Proposition 1A, a $9.9 billion high-speed rail bond approved by California voters in 2008. The rail authority’s board unanimously approved the request in a Zoom video meeting Tuesday. Still pending in the state’s 3rd...

In his first act, it appears Pence submitted to Pelosi's direction to remove Representatives and Senators from the floor, where they might participate, to the gallery, where they cannot. The process enabled is thus is being conducted without a quorum present... and with the majority of Representatives and Senators denied the ability to participate. They are not present, because they have been excluded from any ability even to raise procedural issues. Scripted for purpose, certainly... but outside the law and the Constitution, denying participation, silencing the voices not just of the Representatives, but of those they represent. Whatever result they...
