A bankruptcy judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by The Onion’s parent company to buy Alex Jones’ far-right media empire, including the website Infowars, ruling that the auction process was unfair.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez said after a two-day hearing that The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, had not submitted the best bid and was wrongly named the winner of an auction last month by a court-appointed trustee. “I don’t think it’s enough money,” Lopez said in a late-night ruling from the bench in a Houston court. “I’m going to not approve the sale.”
It was not immediately clear whether there would be a new auction
MSNBC host Joy Reid said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that conservatism itself has “justified violence,” adding that we were “Gotham” and the Joker was “in charge.”
Reid said, “Today, the 26-year-old suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO was back in a Pennsylvania courtroom for an extradition hearing to determine when he’ll be brought back to New York to face charges including second-degree murder. The case has brought out a clear division in the reaction among those on the right. You see, when popular conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro and anti-woman zealot Matt Walsh try to attack evil liberals for celebrating the murder of a CEO
If you’re a fan of The Five or Gutfeld! on FOX News, you may have been wondering what happened to Greg Gutfeld. He hasn’t been seen on either show for almost three solid weeks.
On social media sites like Twitter/X, Gutfeld fans have been asking what’s going on because his absence has been longer than a typical vacation and it’s not like he was suspended or anything. People were starting to get nervous.
Well, today on The Five, his co-host Dana Perino spilled the beans and now we know where Greg has been. She read a statement from Gutfeld on the air:
“It is with great joy that my wife Elana and I
There are certain behaviors we should not tolerate from government officials, elected, appointed, or hired. We shouldn't tolerate any kind of criminal activity or graft. And we shouldn't tolerate petulant displays of childish pique.
That last bit is precisely what we saw during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday when Postmaster General Louis DeJoy threw a tantrum (Snip) DeJoy told McCormick, “You’re talking to yourself” before covering his ears.
What is this guy, 12 years old? I wouldn't have put up with this from my kids when they were three. Why should we put up with this from the United States Postmaster?
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has been one of the leading voices calling for protections for women and their private spaces. She recently introduced legislation to ban biological males from using women's bathrooms and locker rooms on Capitol Hill and on federal land nationwide.
She's calling the new bill, which she plans to introduce tonight, the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act." The goal? "To prohibit individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes."
As a result of her efforts, she was on the receiving end of countless threats made against her and her staff. One trans activist
Luigi Mangione executed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood as an 'act of war' after the company 'violated' its contract with his mother who suffered years of excruciating pain and expense following a diagnosis of severe neuropathy.
This is the claim made in a document purporting to be Mangione's full manifesto, obtained and shared at length by true crime podcast Hidden True Crime.
Producer Lauren Matthias who runs the popular podcast and YouTube channel with her psychologist husband, Dr. John Matthias, shared the unverified document Tuesday afternoon on YouTube.
I love movies – there’s nothing like them for escapism and entertainment – but Hollywood is something else entirely. It is an orgy or narcissism and rape; casting couch feminists and private jet environmentalists. The extremely wealthy who set up “charities” named after themselves to filter income through to avoid paying the taxes they advocate should be raised on everyone else. They are largely hypocrites and just plain bad people.
They are also destroying themselves, which is something worth noting and celebrating.
Box office numbers and high-profile flops like the Joker sequel (did anyone need or want that?) are some prime examples of just how far down the toilet Hollywood has slipped.
On Tuesday night, President-elect Donald Trump announced a slew of picks of those who will serve in his administration. Many of the names are familiar ones, and their roles are varied in nature.
Included among them is Andrew N. Ferguson, who has been appointed to serve as the next Chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
"I am pleased to appoint Andrew N. Ferguson to be the next Chair of the Federal Trade Commission. Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country.
Democrats on Capitol Hill are begging President Joe Biden, set to leave office next month, to commute the death sentences of 40 federal inmates, including one of the Boston Marathon bombers, child killers, mass shooters, and those convicted for brutally murdering women.
“Today, on human rights day, we call on President Biden to do the right thing — to use his clemency authority to commute the death sentences of the 40 individuals on death row, to resentence them to a prison term, and to save lives,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said at a press conference.
We're now 41 days away from January 20, with President-elect Donald Trump once more taking office in just over a month. The Biden-Harris administration has caused all kinds of problems at home and on the world stage, in part because it's been so unserious in so many ways. That was perhaps no more on display than with a post over social media from the Department of Health and Human Services, one wishing people a "Happy Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day!"
The post goes on to add that on such a day, "everyone deserves to feel seen, respected and supported—no matter who they love"
What Next for the Democrats?

With Donald Trump’s presidential reelection, Democrats are experiencing the stages of grief, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Once they accept reality, Democrats will ask: How to return to power?
If Democrats need to go from here to there, where is here?
Today, the Democrat party fully subscribes to economic Marxism (which is a socialist variant) and cultural Marxism combined with violence (state-inflicted through lawfare and swatting against political opponents plus more generally distributed through organizations such as BLM and Antifa, which riot).
Adolf Hitler claimed, “The whole of National Socialism is rooted in Marxism.” Nazis being quintessential fascists, fascism is the wedding of socialism with violence.
Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth said in an interview Monday that President-elect Donald Trump’s top priority for the Pentagon is to return the military to warfighters.
Asked on Fox News’s Hannity what his vision for the Pentagon is, Hegseth said: There’s a lot to be done. First of all, you salute the commander in chief, who got those 76 million votes, and she’s going to chart the way, and I’ll give him advice and counsel along the way.
I’ll just say what he told me: ‘Return the Pentagon to the war fighters. Pete, get in there and clean up
In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"...
As much as I sometimes try, I can't stop myself from writing about the latest nonsense on ABC's ridiculous show, "The View." This was one of those times. As one might expect, the lady geniuses were beside themselves over NYC subway hero Daniel Penny being found not guilty. First, moderator Whoopi Goldberg went off the rails about Penny having a celebratory drink with his lawyers after the verdict. Next up, Sunny Hostin, ever the overt racist, blasted Americans who lack compassion for Jordan Neely, the deranged black man who threatened white and black passengers on a subway car until
From the start, the Select Committee on January 6 was rocked by problems, with perhaps no other member of that committee in as much trouble as now former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). There's been chatter about criminal referrals for Cheney for months, especially since she is a former member of Congress, though it also came up once more earlier this week with President-elect Donald Trump weighing in during his "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker. As was also mentioned, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a preemptive pardon for Cheney and others.
Dick Van Dyke, Cher and Barbra Streisand are among thousands of Malibu residents who have been forced to abandon their homes as a raging fast-moving brushfire rips through Southern California.
Van Dyke, who turns 99 on Friday, announced on Facebook that he and his wife, Arlene Silver, fled their $8 million hillside home to safety, but were forced to leave behind their beloved cat in the mayhem.
“Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo escaped as we were leaving,” the legendary actor wrote.
There is a wonderful and salutatory effect to publicly posting a head on a pike for all to see. Now, after the hideous leftist celebration of the murder of that executive from an unpopular industry, it’s necessary – for the benefit of dumb and disingenuous people who will cry about this imagery – to make clear that this is not to be taken literally. It is to be taken figuratively. That is, we in the America First movement must figuratively post the head of at least one hack GOP establishment senator at the summit of Capitol Hill during the 2026 cycle.
Remember when Donald Trump held a big rally at Madison Square Garden, and liberals were so beside themselves that the only criticism they could come up with was that Nazis also had a rally in Madison Square Garden back in 1939, so Trump is literally Hitler? Well, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow may have topped that asinine comparison with a new one, and let's just say that when MSNBC goes under, the liberal host will have no trouble at all finding a new career as a roller coaster designer. I've never seen someone take so many twists and turns to get to a point.
Famed Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg revealed Tuesday his prostate cancer has returned and “spread to other organs.”
Sandberg announced in January his metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis and, after months of treatments, stated he was cancer-free in August.“Unfortunately, we recently learned the cancer has relapsed and it has spread to other organs,” the Baseball Hall of Famer wrote on Instagram. “This means that I’m back to more intensive treatment. We will continue to be positive, strong, and fight to beat this. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family.”
On Monday, a jury found Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny not guilty of negligent homicide in the Jordan Neely case.
Penny, as RedState readers will recall, put Neely, a mentally ill homeless man with a lengthy criminal history, in a submission hold during a May 2023 subway incident in New York City after Neely reportedly acted aggressively and threateningly towards other passengers.
Neely, who was also restrained by other passengers, was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
It's an understatement to say that Penny's life has been turned upside down since that day, especially after being charged by woke District Attorney Alvin Bragg
Anyone who has voted Republican in more than one election quickly becomes familiar with feeling exasperated. GOP politicians have a history of not handling success well. I can't be precise about how long this has been the case, but this past spring marked my 40th anniversary as a Republican/conservative activist and it's been that way in all that time.
Every once in a while a Republican politician will act like he or she won an election — Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, and President-elect Donald Trump come immediately to mind — but it doesn't happen often enough.
It is both mind-blowing and disheartening to see how the GOP behaves
NBC’s Kristen Welker asked President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday if he still planned to end birthright citizenship. Trump affirmed his plans. But the way Welker deliberately misrepresented the amendment reveals not only a glaring need for clarification from Congress or the Supreme Court about whether children born to illegal aliens are citizens but the dangers of a press who are willing to craft law by word of mouth.
“You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one,” Welker said. “Is that still your plan?”
Ousted Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) argued in a letter addressed just to “White People” on Tuesday that “white supremacy” is the reason Daniel Penny was acquitted in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
In the bizarre rant, posted on X, the departing “Squad” lawmaker further suggested that he doesn’t understand why he feels the need to “keep talking” to white people.
“Dear White People,” Bowman’s manifesto begins.
“I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone."
ActBlue Bombshell: Dem money platform

tells Congress it didn't block foreign
gift cards until fall replies
ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates.(SNIP) ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to “automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and have the highest level of risk as determined,” by its solution provider, Sift.
Donald Trump is considering appointing ex-Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle as his ambassador to Greece, according to multiple sources.
Guilfoyle, 55, studied international law and entered public life as a prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but entered the Trump orbit as fiancee to the president-elect's son Don Jr.
Insiders said the president could think of no one better to represent him in a key posting.
But the announcement was expected hours after DailyMail.com published photographs of Don Jr. hand in with a Palm Beach socialite, amid reports he was moving on.
'There are a ton of people vying for this. It is one of the hottest posts in the world,'
