Earlier this week, Matt Taibbi was called as a witness by the Republican majority of a subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Before his testimony began, Democratic Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove slandered him: Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Democrat representing California’s 37th district in Los Angeles, began her opening remarks in a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing Tuesday with a comment directed to me. “To distract from the dumpster fire this administration is pursuing,” she said, the Republicans were “elevating a serial sexual harrasser as their star witness.” That assertion was an outrageous lie, but presumably Ms. Kamlager-Dove believed she was protected by the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause,

$10 million is chicken feed. A couple of good stock tips from Queen Nancy and a hearty advance on a book deal from Simon & Schuster and she would be able to cover that no problema.

Keep fighting back. Every time a Republican fights back, the Dems are shocked.

Dems love suing people, with their cherry-picked judges, so Conservatives need to start doing the same to them. But go after their personal cash, not tax payer cash.

The Minnesota statue mentions "acts," not statements. If that be the case, a lawsuit may be a slam dunk.

Elie Mystal, a far-left columnist for The Nation, is so petrified of the Trump administration snatching him off the street because of his articles that he has allegedly hired security to keep him safe. This, according to Mystal himself. The author of the new book "Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America" appeared with Charlamagne the God on "The Breakfast Club" late last week and promptly demonstrated little to no grasp of current law. Mystal is not an illegal immigrant (he was born in Queens, and his father was a prominent political figure in Suffolk County, New York—a legal Haitian migrant), nor does he have a student visa.

You would think that geeks would spend their time and effort on geeking out. But when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome, even the geeks get distracted by their need to virtue signal, get political, and spin things. I used to read a lot of tech blogs, but over the past few years I have cut more and more of them out of my regular reading rotation.

The White House press corps declared war on the Trump administration on Inauguration Day, and the administration has responded, but only mildly. Most recently, by taking control over the seating of reporters in the White House briefing room. You might think that something so trivial would not engage the attention of the Left, but you would be wrong. Semafor reports: “Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps.” "The Trump administration’s proposal to take over the seating arrangement within the White House press briefing room has rattled the journalists who cover the president and left them mulling how exactly to push back.
Remember the Price of Eggs? 5 replies

Democrats thought they had a great issue in the high price of eggs, due mostly to avian bird flu. In January, they were touting record-high egg prices as proof of the failure of Trump’s administration–even though the figures released in January were for December, before Trump’s inauguration. Weirdly, the Democrats’ harping on eggs has continued even as the price has plummeted, as in this LA Times column, published on March 8: "As their party struggles to navigate the early days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, some Democrats are convinced that their road to recovery lies in the price of eggs. Instead of leaning into Trump’s tear-down of

DOGE Chief Elon Musk revealed that those funding violent attacks against Tesla dealerships have been identified and suggested criminal charges would be imminent. Musk appeared on Tuesday for an interview with the "The Five" panel to discuss a wide range of topics. Kennedy asked him about the ongoing violence directed at Tesla, wondering how Musk could possibly "talk the unhinged off the ledge." "It is remarkable that there is so much violence," he replied. "People have burnt cars, they've fired bullets into dealerships. They have scratched swastikas into Teslas of innocent people that—that are just going about their lives."

Prince Andrew sexual abuse accuser Virginia Guiffre's claims that a car crash has left her in hospital with just four days to live will raise uncomfortable questions around her credibility - if it transpires that she has exaggerated her injuries - friends of the duke have told MailOnline. Ms Giuffre posted a photo of her bruised face lying on a hospital bed on Instagram and said doctors told her she is going to die due to kidney failure following the wreck.

Last week, the New York Post reported that “DOGEQUEST,” an anonymous website, had published a partial list of Tesla owners’ names, addresses, and phone numbers. The site, since deleted, featured a Molotov cocktail image as a cursor, and a map of supposed Tesla owners and “DOGE landmarks.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the doxxing site as an example of “extreme domestic terrorism;” the White House agreed. In the Department of Justice’s press release announcing charges against three suspected Tesla arsonists, Attorney General Pam Bondi warned would-be criminals, “if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”

Protests used to be really something in America. Back in the anti-war 70s, college kids and young adults were protesting continued U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and it was effective enough to alter the direction of the country. Those same hippies are now grandparents and great-grandparents, if they're still alive. You might guess that a lot of their grandkids are the ones protesting Elon Musk and Tesla, Donald Trump, ICE, and whatever else they think is wrong. But that doesn't seem to be the case most of the time. Many are foreign nationals here on a student visa. A lot of them are paid protesters.

What happens when we find out that much of what we believed or assumed is completely wrong? One of the greatest accomplishments in entertainment history remains Orson Welles War of the Worlds. His 1938 production was so skillful, so brilliantly produced that hundreds if not thousands of people believed that Earth had been invaded by Martians and ran from their homes in terror. Welles had to reassure listeners that the radio broadcast was only a program and that there was no fighting between the aliens and US army forces. How did those who drove out of New Jersey in panic feel when they were finally convinced that the whole thing

WebMD — the last place any sane person would turn to for medical advice — has come out with a whopper of a doozy of a COVID shot propaganda piece, befitting more 2021 than 2025. With all we now know — objectively, quantitatively — about the unprecedented dangers of the shots coupled with the minimal, infinitesimally tiny risk that the COVID infection poses to children, one might expect a least a modicum of nuance from WebMD. But no.

The artist behind a portrait of Donald Trump in the Colorado State Capitol says her career could be in tatters now that the president has besmirched it on social media. Sarah Boardman’s painting of the president had hung in the Denver building for six years before Trump called it “purposefully distorted” and “truly the worst” on his Truth Social platform in January, prompting state lawmakers to yank it off the wall. Now the artist’s 41-year career “is in danger of not recovering” from the backlash, Boardman said in a statement on her website on Saturday.

In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.

She described the ammunition control as one that “[refines] how credit card companies track purchases at gun dealerships.” Hochul noted, “This gives law enforcement the opportunity to find out exactly who may be stockpiling ammunition. And this is an indicator that something untoward could be happening, so it’s an important data point for us to have.” North Country Now pointed out the credit card tracking will occur via the use of a new merchant code,
