An Arizona grand jury indicted a group of Republican figures over the effort to overturn the 2020 election, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. “Arizona’s election was free and fair. The people of Arizona elected President Biden,” said Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a
CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell delivered this evening’s newscast from Rome, and her interview with Pope Francis featured heavily within the newscast. But if the early tease is any indication, O’Donnell devoted the interview to the reheating of the media’s same old talking points regarding the Catholic Church. Case in point: the media love
Donald Trump won the Pennsylvania Republican primary with 82.8% of the vote. The Keystone State’s primary is closed, meaning only Republicans can vote. But is this cause for worry? Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,000 votes. Biden won the state in 2020 by 80,000. However, former candidate Nikki Haley, who dropped out a month
Even though former President Donald Trump is already the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, Nikki Haley, who dropped her Republican presidential primary bid last month, won more than 16% of the vote in the Pennsylvania Republican presidential primary, unofficial results indicate.

Anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas rallies have been spreading like hateful wildfire across American universities, with encampments spouting up in UT Austin and Harvard on Wednesday. And on CNN News Central that afternoon, Harvard professor and former Obama DHS official Juliette Kayyem demanded that universities like hers “allow space” for those mini-Nuremberg rallies. “And I’m pretty clear
Were you aware that this is “Second Chance Month”? Not to be obscure, but they appear to have a “month” for everything from “Black History Month” to “Hispanic Heritage Month” to “LGBTQXYZ Month.” Advertisement I checked the official government calendar, and there doesn’t appear to be an “official” Second Chance Month. April is “National Pickleball
Former NFL star Tom Brady advised kids and young athletes to live more for others and try to be more mentally and emotionally stable instead of focusing on their personal brand. Brady made the remarks on “DeepCut with VicBlends” while getting his hair cut. During a lengthy discussion about golf, fatherhood, and retirement, the quarterback
In the case of Ilhan Omar and her daughter Isra Hirsi, the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree. Hirsi stole the spotlight on MSNBC after being kicked out of Barnard College for her actions related to anti-Israel protests on campus. “Do other student groups have this kind of target on their back, or
A year after transgender Audrey Hale entered and shot innocent people at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville, the Tennessee legislature passed a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns at school to protect their students and themselves. In a 68-28 vote on Tuesday, Tennessee legislators voted in favor of HB 1202/SB 1321, which allows
“Cicadageddon,” “Cicadsamania, “Cicadadoomsday.” No matter what you call it, it’s here. “We have had several calls about a noise in the air that sounds like a siren, or a whine, or a roar.

Stephen A. Smith is under fire again, but it’s not for a reason one might think. Rather, Smith spoke out in defense of former president Donald Trump. “Black folks find him relatable because what he’s going through is similar to what black Americans have gone through,” Smith told Sean Hannity on a Fox News segment.
Jed Handelsman Shugerman, a law professor at Boston University, thinks Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump is a “historic mistake.” Shugerman made that conclusion after witnessing opening arguments on Monday in which prosecutors alleged Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election.” In short, prosecutors claim Trump falsified business
Wall Street Journal media reporter Alexandra Bruell secured an interview with new NPR CEO Katherine Maher, and naturally, she discovered NPR doesn’t want anyone focusing on the “distraction” of leftist tilt. They don’t want anyone disturbing their “mandate” of taking taxpayer money from Republicans and whacking them with it. The headline defined it: NPR Chief
It’s really getting ridiculous. Joe Biden’s lies about his past are too numerous to count these days. What’s funny is that he doesn’t just lie about his record or about things that give him political advantage; he also makes up stories out of whole cloth about insignificant details of his life.

When Dexter Reed died in a shoot-out with Chicago police on March 21, the incident was quickly grafted onto a narrative that began in 2014 after a policeman killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri — namely, that the United States faces an epidemic of violence by unbridled cops who do not believe black lives matter.
Transparency and receiving even basic information about how the government is spending taxpayer money is critical and should be among the government’s top priorities. Unfortunately, this process is difficult and time-consuming. While the Freedom of Information Act is supposed to give Americans a glimpse into the inner workings of Washington, D.C., the process has become
In 2024, foreign policy doesn’t pit Republicans against Democrats so much as it pits Republicans against Republicans and Democrats against Democrats. For Joe Biden’s party, Israel is the fault line, with Democrats split between supporters of the Jewish State and those of Palestinian sympathies. For the party of Donald Trump, the internal conflict is over
Donald Trump said in a radio interview on Monday night that it’s by no means certain that Robert F. Kennedy on the ballot helped him and hurt Biden. “They say he hurts Biden. I’m not sure that that’s true, and I think he probably hurts [us] both,” Trump said of Kennedy. “But he might hurt
Welcome to Woke of the Weak where I’ll update you about the most woke, progressive, insane, and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks is tolerable and well, point out why exactly they’re nuts. This week we took a look at how far from normal the left is. We started out by watching a
When I was in college more than 50 years ago, liberal professors were often hardly much older than the students they were teaching. They hung around with students. They dressed like students. They talked like students. And many of them dated students. Advertisement Not much has changed in 50 years. And at the NYU protests
A brawl at a high school in Louisiana was captured on video, but parents are more upset that a school officer used pepper spray to break up the fight. The video appeared to show a large group of students watching and recording as two girls began throwing punches at each other at the Magnolia School

George Santos, who was expelled from Congress last year while representing New York’s 3rd Congressional District, has announced that he is dropping his bid to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District. “I have decided to withdraw from my independent run for #NY1,” Santos tweeted on Tuesday. “I don’t want my run to
It seems progressives in Germany may have had too much beer before deciding on this recent law, because no sober-minded individual should’ve voted yes for this! Earlier this month, the German Parliament, Bundestag, passed a policy that would enable parents to change the gender on their child’s birth certificate if the kid isn’t satisfied with
As far as the student protesters at Columbia University and other universities are concerned, they’re making a strong and principled stand for justice.

The D.C. swamp is so irredeemably bad that sometimes you just need to laugh at it.

Climate Depot founder Marc Morano spoke out against President Joe Biden’s decisions to slow down American energy production while potentially easing energy sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The first witness in Donald Trump’s trial for alleged “criminal” bookkeeping errors came with National Enquirer-worthy titillations about what a hot commodity the former president was back in the day. Prosecutors thought they’d burst out of the gate with a little razzle-dazzle and T&A, hoping that jurors would believe the witness had anything to do
