On Tuesday, a group of conservatives led by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz ousted House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA) over what they describe as broken promises made during McCarthy’s election as speaker.

The bad news just keeps piling up for the Democrats, and it’s hard to imagine how they dig themselves out of the hole they’ve put themselves into.

Tucker Carlson is quickly becoming one of the most important people in news for his rare ability to ask bold, straightforward questions and speak the truth with total frankness.

The New York Times continued to paint Republicans as the extremists on the immigration issue, even when it’s the Democratic Party who seems eager to welcome a surge of migrants and perhaps even give them the vote. The online headline over the story by Nicholas Nehamas and Eileen Sullivan didn’t even nod toward objectivity: “With
Blue state politicians are getting angrier and angrier at the White House and Joe Biden for their reluctance to come up with meaningful solutions to the border crisis that has seen Northern Democratic cities swamped with migrants. New York state and city have seen more than 100,000 people travel from the border to end up
Dianne Feinstein has passed on, leaving a vacant Senate seat in California. Governor Gavin Newsom has appointed Laphonza Butler to fill it. Newsom, who had already openly committed to selecting a black woman for the position, has sparked controversy with this decision. “This isn’t a meritocracy any more,” Sara Gonzales says. “You have to base
A technology officer from artificial intelligence company OpenAI warned that if AI is improperly programmed, the platforms could become far more addicting than modern social media and, in a sense, enslave humanity. Mira Murati, the 34-year-old chief technology officer at OpenAI, said that artificial intelligence is at risk of being designed the wrong way. During
Monday’s White House press briefing started on a pathetic note with the first flurry of questions consisted of the press corps sticking up for and asking questions on behalf of the Ukrainians, not the American people. Eventually, there were real questions asked, thanks in part to Fox’s Peter Doocy and wife Hillary Vaughn of the
New York City is in chaos amidst the resource-draining illegal migrant crisis, but Mayor Eric Adams is focused on the important things, like expanding abortion services.

Charlotte Sena, a 9-year-old girl from Saratoga County, went missing Saturday while on a camping trip with family in upstate New York.

President Joe Biden whined that X (formerly known as Twitter) is not as aggressively engaging in widespread censorship of constitutionally protected free speech. Speaking to the leftist zealots at ProPublica on Oct. 1, Biden accused, without evidence, X owner Elon Musk and right-leaning media outlets of igniting an imaginary increase of misinformation online. In the
The Trump campaign reportedly left a birdcage and bird food outside of Nikki Haley’s hotel room. “After a day of campaigning, this is the message waiting for me outside my hotel room,” Nikki Haley wrote when sharing a photo of the spectacle.

In a letter to President Joe Biden, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker called for the federal government to assist the state as it grapples with a “humanitarian crisis” due to an influx of migrants. “But as the numbers being transported to Chicago are accelerating, the humanitarian crisis is overwhelming our ability to provide aid to the
There was joy and excitement as Donald Trump appeared in a court to face accusations of fraud in his business practices. The networks, as usual, hyped the trip to the courthouse with live coverage. “TRUMP ARRIVES AT COURT FOR CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL,” CNN announced like it was deeply impactful news. It could be, if the
Progressive Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York offered a bizarre excuse and apology after his office sent out talking points calling his detractors “Nazi members” over his fire alarm scandal.

Former Dodgers baseball pitcher Trevor Bauer posted a video to social media defending himself from sexual assault accusations after he and his accuser agreed to drop their lawsuits against each other.

The front page of Monday’s New York Times marked the return of the U.S. Supreme Court to the bench with the scary-sounding headline “How Far to the Right Will the Supreme Court Go?” by Supreme Court beat reporters Adam Liptak and Abbie VanSickle. Recent history suggests that the court’s six Republican appointees will continue to
No matter what a presidential candidate like Joe Biden — any candidate, really — might promise during the election, sometimes, smart policies initiated by their predecessor continue even after the new guy is sworn in. Biden’s China policies are remarkably like Donald Trump’s. Trump began the long and difficult process of decoupling our economy from

Clinton told 77 WABC radio’s John Catsimatidis that the city’s right-to-shelter measure needs to be fixed, agreeing with New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul’s sudden calls for change
Over the weekend, we saw the liberal media rush to spread New York Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman’s disinformation that he set off a fire alarm in a House office building because he thought that’s how doors worked. But, on Monday, a couple of the radical liberals on ABC’s The View had their own conspiratorial theories.
Harry Truman reportedly said, “Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.” Throughout her lifelong career in “public service,” Dianne Feinstein amassed for herself an absurd fortune fit for a Fortune 500 CEO, not a senator making a relatively paltry salary. Now that she’s dead, after
Los Angeles County has reportedly instituted a zero-bail system that officially went into effect on Sunday. The move eliminates setting a defendant’s cash bail amount based on the crime committed.

Comedian and pundit Bill Maher concluded that Joe Biden must not run for president in 2024 if the Democrats hope to win, stating that anyone in the realm of being a “not stupid,” not “woke” “50-ish-year-old” Democrat would be able to beat Donald Trump. On his podcast “Club Random,” Maher spoke to political analyst James
Former President Donald Trump had strong words against Big Tech censorship ahead of the Republican primaries.

Joe Scarborough is a master of false modesty. His typical shtick is to describe himself as “a simple country lawyer.” In a variation on that, last week we caught faux-humble Scarborough saying, “I’m not good at this politics thing.” But given the gaffe Scarborough committed on Wednesday’s Morning Joe, perhaps Joe wasn’t speaking with false
A new electric vehicle battery factory in Kansas will require so much energy that a coal plant slated for closure will now remain open, plus it will be expanded.

A Navy veteran from New York was recently sentenced to 18 years to life in prison after killing his sister with a bayonet blade and awl.
