CHAUTAUQUA — Having experienced the White House during the time of three different presidents, Andrew Card Jr., former chief of staff, has seen the changes in the political state of America during his time in the position. Speaking at Chautauqua Institution on Wednesday as a part of the Institution’s opening week, Card began by discussing how he first got into politics and how he was a big fan of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, two of the three presidents he would work under. Card became “very involved” in campaigns, including the 1980 cycle, which he said involved 22 Republicans....

Oli London @OliLondonTV This is Biden’s new White House Associate Communications Director. Tyler Cherry, who identifies as non-binary is: • Anti-Israel • Pro-Palestinian ‘Resistance’ • Anti-Police • Anti-Capitalism • Pro-BLM • Calls to Abolish the Police • Supports extreme antisemite Linda Sarsour calling her a ‘fierce Muslim woman.’

The White House is taking heat for statements on the deaths of a mother of five children in Maryland and a young Texas girl who were allegedly murdered by illegal aliens. The recent statements, which were short, did not comment on active police investigations regarding the two deaths, Fox News reported on Saturday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” the...

The Biden administration has hired a former Interior Department communications director with a colorful past of attacking police and supporting the anti-Israel movement. “After more than three years at Interior working for Secretary Deb Haaland, Cherry started last week as an associate communications director at the White House,” Politico reported this week.

The White House has canceled a meeting with Israel to discuss the growing threat from Iran, retaliating against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his claim Tuesday that the Biden administration was delaying weapons deliveries. Israeli government spokesman David Mencer acknowledged in a briefing Wednesday that the meeting had been canceled, but said that U.S. ambassador to Israel Jack Lew had since reassured Netanyahu that the weapons in question were being delivered, and that Netanyahu had thanked him.

A so-called “trans woman” who flashed his prosthetic breasts during a White House “Pride” event last year has been accused of sexually assaulting at least five people. To recap, Townhall reported last year how a transgender model went topless on the White House lawn during a Pride event: The transgender, “Rose” Montoya, 27, met President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden. In a video, he unhooked his dress, then cupped and shook his breast implants in front of the Truman balcony where the pride flag hung in the background. As Leah noted, in response to criticism, Montoya said “going...

Videos exposing President Joe Biden’s age, gaffes, and recent awkwardness in public are “cheap fakes” and published in “bad faith,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday.

An ex-Biden White House appointee and current Democratic candidate for a county commissioner seat in Texas allegedly created a dummy social media account to post bogus racist comments about himself. Taral Patel, 30, the challenger running for county commissioner in Fort Bend County Precinct 3 just outside of Houston, was arrested for online impersonation last week after an investigation initiated by his opponent, incumbent Andy Meyers. The Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office started the probe in October, shortly after a lengthy Facebook post Patel made in September in which he painted himself and his family as victims of a vicious...

The White House left open the idea that President Joe Biden might commute Hunter Biden’s pending federal sentence following his gun-related conviction. There is no immediate date scheduled for Hunter’s sentencing. A two to three-month delay between conviction and sentencing is typical in the federal system. “As we all know, the sentencing hasn’t even been scheduled yet,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. Joe Biden told ABC News last week that he would not pardon his son.

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford necessities like food, rent, insurance, and a car payment. But if you’re one of them, don’t expect any understanding from the White House and its sycophants in the media. They say your financial pain is all in your head. As an MSNBC host put it, Americans need “an economic explainer,” since “people are confused” about their financial situation. They’re actually “doing quite well,” she laughably asserted. That will surprise the half of Americans who are struggling to make their rent or mortgage payments on time, especially the one-fifth of renters who are skipping...

A pro-Palestinian protester screamed “I am Hamas!” during a demonstration outside the White House on Saturday as she confronted members of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) as they interviewed both pro- and anti-Israel activists. The video, filmed by Jasmyn Jordan of YAF, showed an unhinged protester, wearing a kaffiyeh, shouting that Hamas had not raped Israelis and that Israeli soldiers had, in fact, raped Palestinians. (Both claims are false). As Breitbart News reported: Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters — some openly supporting Hamas and other terror groups — surrounded the White House on Saturday, vandalizing a statue and assaulting a U.S....

President Trump alleged that the protesters that have taken to the streets in dozens of cities across the country are "organized groups" and have no connection to those mourning the death of George Floyd. Protests have raged across the country for the last four nights in response to the death of Floyd, a black man who died in police custody on Monday. "These are 'Organized Groups' that have nothing to do with George Floyd," Trump tweeted Saturday morning. "Sad!" These are “Organized Groups” that have nothing to do with George Floyd. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2020...

A huge pro-Palestine protest at the White House has descended into chaos with smoke bombs let off and attendees claiming they were maced. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Washington on Saturday calling for a ceasefire on Gaza. Video shows smoke billowing in front of the White House as a speaker delivers a speech to a crowd calling Israel a 'butcher of Gaza'. Independent journalist Ford Fischer shared a photo of his bloodshot face claiming that mace had been deployed on the crowds during an attempted arrest. In another clip cops can be seen making their way through the throngs to...

Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the White House for a rally on Saturday afternoon in protest of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Video footage posted to X showed protesters holding the Palestinian flag and a long, red banner wrapping around the outside of the White House. Protesters could be heard chanting, “F*** Joe Biden,” as others were seen holding signs that said, “Free All Palestinian Political Prisoners,” “Stop the invasion! Hands off Rafah!” and “Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now.”” Video footage showed protesters forming a “red-line” with the red banner around the White House. The so-called red line was...

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters — some openly supporting Hamas and other terror groups — surrounded the White House on Saturday, vandalizing a statue and assaulting a U.S. Park Police officer who tried to protect it. The protest happened on the day Israel successfully rescued four hostages from Hamas’s clutches in a raid in Gaza. Protesters clad in keffiyeh began gathering outside the presidential residence in Washington, D.C., Saturday morning. Their signs called on President Joe Biden to “free Palestine” and “end the siege on Gaza now.” Others stood in a line draped in a two-mile-long red banner around the White...

Ever since Donald Trump rode down the escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015 to announce his run for president, certain Democrats and “Never Trumpers” have been inventing and rolling out one fabricated, dangerous and divisive charge after another. One of the latest they have been running up the flagpole is that Trump will become a dictator who would refuse to leave the White House once his next term is up. It is all the rage among multiple liberal media outlets, while the main talking point of the Biden campaign seems to have morphed into “democracy is at stake” if...

Pro-Palestinian activists demanding an end to the war in Gaza and to American support for Israel plan to surround the White House during a weekend protest, prompting additional security measures, including anti-scale fencing. Advocacy and activist groups like CODEPINK and the Council on American Islamic Relations said on Friday that demonstrations were planned on Saturday, marking eight months of Israel's war in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands while causing a humanitarian crisis with widespread hunger and destruction. The United States, Israel's key ally, has seen months of pro-Palestinian protests ranging from marches in Washington and vigils near the...

Demanding the immediate release of documents pertaining to “credible allegations” of “improper collusion by the Biden White House and Department of Justice (DOJ) in the sham political show trial of President Trump conducted by Alvin Bragg, the New York County District Attorney’s Office, and Judge Juan Merchan,” America First Legal is suing the Department of Justice. The principal target of the allegations of cooperation between the Biden Administration and Bragg’s office is Matthew Colangelo, a senior Biden DOJ official who joined Bragg’s team as a prosecutor after leaving the department. Before accepting a low-level position as a prosecutor in Bragg’s...

The House and Senate return to work Monday in a very different town from the one they left before the long Memorial Day weekend. Over the congressional recess, Democrats reached the Rubicon, convicting the Republican presidential nominee on multiple trumped-up felonies with the help of a Constitution-bending partisan judge and district attorney. While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tweeted his passive expectation that it will all sort itself out in the appeals process, others are setting about the smart work of resisting. In a Friday letter, a group of senators promised to block, stop, and derail nearly all Democrat...

During Pride Month, we celebrate the extraordinary courage and contributions of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) community. We reflect on the progress we have made so far in pursuit of equality, justice, and inclusion. We recommit ourselves to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and around the world.
