Hawaiians have been subjected in recent weeks to a horrific ordeal that saw Maui transformed into a crematorium and hundreds of lives lost.

President Joe
Could Biden’s botched federal response and his epic failure to empathize with the survivors of the Hawaii wildfires turn the state red in 2024? In 2004, some shock polls suggested that the state of Hawaii was actually competitive. Out of four polls that were conducted, the final two showed George W. Bush winning by a
Just minutes into MSNBC’s post-GOP debate analysis late Wednesday night co-hosts Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Alex Wagner declared Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis one of the night’s losers. “Can I just say something?

Actor Kevin Sorbo is not mincing words on the issue of face masks. “I’m not wearing a mask.

With all of the fanfare around the recent COVID “surge” and the rollout of brand-new terror strains ahead of the introduction of a new “bivalent booster” to market as well as flu season, it’s worth reminding ourselves why the Public Health™ authorities have conceded their credibility and therefore why no one should listen to anything
Beloved conservative Larry Elder is in the running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination but isn’t being allowed to participate in the debates. “I’ve met the 40,000 individual donor criteria.

At one point, it would
The highest court in South Carolina on Wednesday upheld a state law that bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is observed. This generally happens around six weeks of pregnancy.

MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart welcomed correspondent and podcaster Trymaine Lee to his Wednesday program to preview the GOP debate by focusing on the word “woke,” and how according to one of Lee’s guests, Republicans have turned it into “another way of saying black” or “the N-word.” Kicking things off, Diaz-Balart declared that “when the Republican presidential candidates
The goal, ultimately, is to transform our free and democratic societies… into totalitarian societies.

After a recent loss at the Women’s World Cup final to Spain, team England had salt rubbed in their wounds by a panel on Sky News that criticized the squad for having a “lack of diversity” that “doesn’t represent diverse Britain.” During the news segment, panelist Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones predominantly took issue with a recent newspaper

With the evidence piling up that Joe Biden was part of an influence-peddling scheme while he was serving as vice president, the possibility of an impeachment inquiry is looking as likely as it ever has.

Before England lost to Spain 1-0 in the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday, a panel on the British network Sky News discussed what they thought was the squad’s biggest problem before the match.

There’s a lot of speculation (it might be too early to call it “copium” but that will come in due time) going on about what went wrong with Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign, which seems doomed to failure at this point.
