This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Joy: "You can't make Canada the 51st state without going to war with them. And let me explain how that worked out the last time we tried to go to war with Canada. They burned the White House to the ground in 1814! And won the war! Canada beat us in the War of 1812! They probably like their chances against us. We're not going to beat them in a war because we have never been able to do that."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his resistance to President Donald Trump and border czar Tom Homan’s immigration enforcement efforts today, vowing that his city will be a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants.Speaking at a town hall with other Democrat leaders, including “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Frey said: “I want all of you just to know exactly where we are as far as our neighbors go, Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for undocumented immigrants.”“Regardless of who you are or where you come from, Minneapolis is a place where you should be proud to call...

A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly making sickening threats against President Trump — even challenging him to “fight me naked to the death,” according to authorities. Kendal Aaron Todd, 42, was busted and charged on Monday in St. Lucie County after he posted the sickening threats to kill the commander-in-chief on social media. In a rambling, 80-second clip, Todd railed against Trump and declared himself US president. “Because of Donald Trump, every single person in the world is cursed,” Todd said in the since-deleted, expletive-laden clip. “Donald Trump is the Antichrist.” “Donald Trump has personally made business decisions...

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a former member of the Jan. 6 committee, sought to distinguish between the pardon he received from former President Biden compared to those President Trump gave to those who stormed the Capitol. Just hours apart, both Biden and Trump issued a number of pardons. An order from Biden gave a preemptive pardon to all nine members of the panel that investigated the attack on the Capitol, while Trump, through a series of pardons and commutations, cleared the slate for the more than 1,500 people being prosecuted for the attack. “Look, the people who were pardoned the...

A transgender teen with cerebral palsy who went viral after posting about his breast-removal surgery has told DailyMail.com that he knew what he was doing and is happy with his choices. Micah LeRoy, 19, a University of Minnesota student, had a double mastectomy last month and shared footage about the procedure, and his painful but swift recovery, on Instagram. Those videos exploded on conservative social media on Thursday, with critics calling Micah a victim who should not have been greenlighted for a sex change because of his disability. But, speaking with DailyMail.com, Micah said he had a long history of...

As fires wreak havoc in California, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., claimed in a post on X the catastrophe is “what a climate emergency looks like.” In another tweet, he took aim at President-elect Trump, asserting the incoming president has been bought off by the oil industry. “Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil. Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death. The LA fires are preview of coming atrocities,” Markey declared in a post on X. Markey, who claims there is...

We all know the old saying "actions speak louder than words." A Madison man is living by that message by taking action to destroy firearms. It's all in an effort to prevent gun violence. Madison's Midvale Community Lutheran Church was the site of Jeff Wild's symbolic action Monday. Wild along with several others, brought a pair of chop saws to the church's entrance to cut up six handguns, one rifle and one shotgun. The action comes just a week after a student at Abundant Life Christian School brought two guns inside, killing a teacher and a fellow student. Wild says...

Kamala Harris campaign advisor Lindy Li announced she’s leaving the Democratic Party over its continuing shift toward woke radicalism and intolerance of dissenting viewpoints. Li, a DNC Finance Committee member who was tasked with overseeing the Harris campaign’s finances, explained Wednesday on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” that since pointing out the “stench of loser” hanging over the Democrat Party in the wake of Kamala’s resounding defeat, she’s been targeted for harassment and canceling by her former peers. “As soon as I said that, there were boycott campaigns against me. Unblock-unfollow campaigns. I lost 40,000 followers in four days,” Li said. “They...

Radar Online reports that Clooney is now said to have expressed outrage at “being manipulated by former President Barack Obama into lobbying for Kamala Harris.” Following Biden’s disastrous June debate performance, Clooney kicked off the calls to put old Joe out to pasture with a column for the New York Times demanding that he step aside. He wrote for The Times, “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

As the weeks go by I have to admit that I have incredible joy inside, however the left is incapable of blaming themselves for their own disaster. It really all started with the clintons and their political correctness, their use of raw FBI files to Blackmail their opponents, they're pushing of the don't talk about politics and religion, Whichl Americans really should do. Then Obama walked through the doors, a well-educated, well spoken, well-placed from the inside loins of American communists. Historically obama kept his promise to fundamentally change america. Trump coming on the scene forced the left to Leapfrog...

Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner has deleted his X / Twitter account in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory. His exit marks the end of an era for Reiner who had spent years using the platform to spread false claims and wild accusations aimed at Trump and his supporters — including repeatedly smearing them as white nationalists. Rob Reiner’s X account, which boasted 2.3 million followers, was no longer accessible as of Thursday, with the platform returning a message that the account “doesn’t exist.”

The whiplash-inducing, “Hun­ger Games”-style race to become Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary made it easy for the media to ignore what has been going on with Janet Yellen — and the absolute mess she’s leaving for her successor. Yellen — who, it was revealed Friday, will be replaced as Treasury secretary in January by hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent — was Joe Biden’s pick to run the office that is essentially the country’s CFO. Indeed, it could be the most important cabinet position in the White House given the importance of the US economy. Americans put Trump in office largely over...

A teacher who warned Donald Trump supporters not to start a fight with her or they would lose, and die, says she would consider a more peaceful approach. Annie Dunleavy, 30, resigned from Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire, Connecticut, amid backlash against her Snapchat video. She went viral after the video she posted to a private channel vowing to leave Trump supporters 'on a stretcher... forever' if they 'tested their gangster' on her. Dunleavy was put on a temporary leave from the school as the institution investigated her post-election rant, and quit soon after. Losing her dream job gave Dunleavy...

Russell Bentley, a self-described “Donbass Cowboy,” joined Russian forces soon after they created a proxy state in eastern Ukraine in 2014. He quickly became one of Russian propaganda’s favorite Americans, receiving a Russian passport and a gig with state-run Sputnik TV.

When Liz Cheney attacked former President Donald Trump, she tried to say that she was a conservative in so doing. The people in Wyoming didn't believe her and they roundly turned her out of office by almost 40 points. It's sort of hilarious that the media and the left think she's some kind of arbiter of what any Republicans think when she's that rejected and most Republicans can't stand her. On Wednesday, Cheney proved just how false that claim about being conservative was when she endorsed Kamala Harris during a speaking engagement at Duke University in the battleground state of...

Billionaire Elon Musk slammed a New York Times writer that wrote an article which claimed the U.S. Constitution can be considered one of the "biggest threats" to the country. The Times' book critic Jennifer Szalai claimed that "The United States Constitution is in trouble" due to the fact that former President Trump was able to become president through the Electoral College. "Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us; a growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it," Szalai said. "The document that’s supposed to be a bulwark against authoritarianism can end up fostering...
