Stephen A. Smith Has Come to Save the
Democratic Party!

Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts. Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends. So when Rogan heard Smith saying something stupid and disrespectful about a UFC fighter, he called him out. Here’s a short,

I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, so please take it as a non-medical, totally unprofessional diagnosis when I tell you that Taylor Lorenz is a high-functioning sociopath with murder in her heart and CNN's Donie O'Sullivan is one of the many moral cowards in the legacy dinosaur media who enable her.
Lorenz, you might recall, is a semi-anonymous child of wealth and privilege who went on to become a tech and privacy reporter for many of the big media names after having her personal life scrubbed from the internet. Her specialty, even before being virtually fired last year from the Washington Post, is playing

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has quickly positioned herself as the face of the Democratic Party. If she's not code-switching into being "street" in front of a left-wing audience, she's on cable news or in front of a podium at the Capitol Building trying to make news.
But now, she's got a new audience to contend with: The Federal Election Commission.
According to a new report, the FEC has opened a probe into a donation made to Crockett through the Democratic Party fundraising apparatus ActBlue.
The Federal Election Commission opened an investigation into firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, regarding donations to her 2024 campaign made through ActBlue,
In a age of lightning-fast information and leaks over secrets, it's remarkable how quiet things are on who may have been behind the two known assassination attempts on President Trump last summer, one of which almost succeeded.
We still don't know.
But Byron York at the Washington Examiner thinks the Ukraine angle of Ryan Routh's second attempt in Florida is worth a closer look.
He writes:
It is remarkable how little we know about the two 2024 attempts on President Donald Trump’s life. We don’t know much about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who shot Trump in the ear during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Nor do we know much
An immigration judge has ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil is eligible for deportation under a decades-old federal statute.
Immigration Judge Jamee Comans found that due to his involvement in the pro-Palestinian protests that rocked Columbia University in the waning days of the Biden administration, Khalil’s continued presence in the United States raised “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.”
It’s the latest development surrounding the efforts of Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deport Khalil under the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, which allows the secretary to make the determination
Trump Ends Obama’s ‘War on Showers
12 replies
There was a time when liberals promised to “get the government out of your bedroom” and then they decided that the government should be in your bathroom instead. And I’m not just talking about the transgender movement which really took off later, but the obsession with controlling every aspect of human life to save the planet.
President Trump ended Obama’s War on Lightbulbs. Now he ended the War on Showers.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again.
The Order directs the Secretary of Energy to immediately rescind the overly complicated federal rule that redefined “showerhead”
CNN host Anderson Cooper was hoisted by his own left-wing petard after being schooled by an audience member for misgendering her.
The farcical irony unfolded Tuesday night during a town hall Cooper hosted with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
At one point, Cooper called on a woman in the audience and got scolded on live TV for assuming the lady was female. “I want to introduce Grace Thomas,” Cooper said. “She’s a local civil rights attorney. She’s a Democrat, right?”
An annoyed Thomas shot back: “It’s ‘they/them’ pronouns, actually. Thank you.” An apologetic Cooper stammered in shock, “Oh.” This ridiculous exchange perfectly encapsulates the left’s frivolous obsession with triviality, as the
Political Money-Grab

Did you bet on March Madness?
I did, and many of you did, too. Americans bet billions on NCAA tournaments.
We also "spent $60 billion at casinos last year (and) about $12 billion on online sports betting," notes economist Jason Sorens in my new video.
Sorens published a state-by-state ranking of gambling freedom across America. Nevada lets gambling flourish, while Utah, Hawaii and Georgia ban most of it.
Now some politicians want to ban more.
Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker moved to ban arcade-style gambling machines found in gas stations and convenience stores, loftily saying, "It's not OK to tempt our residents ... to gamble away their hard-earned dollars."
Some states ban at-home poker games, occasionally

Middle-class America is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird.
And California, where mansions and homeless people abound, is the template Democrats want to bring to America as a whole.
Because it suits their needs. Big money donors and poor people in crisis who think they need ‘compassionate’ Democrats’ help.
The ‘American Dream’ was that any normal person who worked hard and saved could have a house and a relatively comfortable — and meaningful — life, expecting to live better and longer than their parents did. That dream has turned into a pipe dream for many.
Why? Political leaders from both parties have presided over the extinction of manufacturing
Another Dem-Manufactured ‘Gate’ Scandal
2 replies
The desperate Dems, pole-axed by Trump’s fast start on his second term, have revved up their TDS Rube Goldberg scandal machine. The so-called SignalGate affair is being vigorously flogged, with the usual help from Republican Fifth Columnists. But the “-gate” suffix doesn’t mean what the Democrats think it does.
Recently, a group meeting including Trump, Vice President Vance, Def Sec Peter Hegseth, and other defense and national security officials, convened to discuss a punitive attack on Yemen’s Houthi terrorists, and inadvertently included Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, best known for his inveterate, hysterical hatred of Donald Trump, and his eager peddling of the preposterous Russia hoax.
Let's Kill the Republicans

It has been a while since Democrats have assassinated a Republican president, but that peaceful interlude may be ending soon. You likely have heard about a survey report by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, which examines the growing tolerance for violence in American society. Or, rather, on America’s Left:
Political violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized. Following the July 13, 2024 attempted assassination of President Trump, tolerance – and even advocacy – for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population. This pattern builds on a broader trend NCRI identified in two

Can I get a cut, blow-dry and a crash course in climate please?
That could be the request in salons across the country under a scheme that aims to train hairdressers and barbers to get conversations going about one of the most hair-raising issues facing humanity.
‘A Brush With Climate’ is inspired by a movement that started in Sydney, Australia when a salon owner looked to see how to use their renowned conversational skills to get chats going about solutions to the climate crisis.
Four towns are to be chosen under the pilot scheme with local hairdressers and barbers invited to become involved.

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who flew into the United States during former President Joe Biden's time in office.
The migrants came to the U.S. under Biden's controversial controversial CHNV mass humanitarian parole program.
In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review.
You had to know it was coming at some point. Left-wingers have targeted everything else at this point to soothe their deranged ideology, and it was just a matter of time before man's best friend ended up in the crosshairs. Yes, after destroying your childhood memories through various reimaginings of everything you held dear, they're now coming after your dog. [Tweet]
Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found.
An Australian review of existing studies has argued that “the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised”.
Washington— Former President Joe Biden returns to the national stage Tuesday to elevate liberal concerns that President Donald Trump’s agenda is threatening the health of Social Security.
The 82-year-old Democrat has largely avoided speaking publicly since leaving the White House in January. That’s even as Trump frequently blames Biden for many of the nation’s problems, often attacking his predecessor by name.
Biden is expected to fight back in an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago. While Biden has made a handful of public appearances in recent weeks, Tuesday’s high-profile address focuses on a critical issue for tens of millions of Americans
Gayle King on Tuesday suggested it was sexist to characterize her brief trip into space with Blue Origin as a “space ride.” King and several other celebrities — including pop star Katy Perry — took part in an all-woman space flight Monday morning. The fiancee of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos was also part of the group. In the aftermath of the 11-minute trip, critics wondered what the purpose of the trip was. Some even flatly dismissed it as a publicity stunt. The next morning, King and fellow Blue Origin crewmate Aisha Bowe talked about scientific impact similar trips on
Honestly, I haven’t thought about Keith Olbermann in a long, long time. But apparently, he’s still out there, trying to be relevant. Yet, he unwittingly gave himself the wrong kind of publicity when he posted a completely unhinged rant in a video on X.
In the video, the former MSNBC host called for the arrest of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Tom Homan, accusing them of defying a Supreme Court order.
“Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and Tom Homan, the head of ICE [sic] must be arrested immediately for contempt of court,” Olbermann raged.

house arrest in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf 23 replies
The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing another high schooler at a track meet was released from jail Monday after posting a reduced $250,000 bond and will remain on house arrest until his trial.
A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”
Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2. He is charged with first-degree murder.
Can Trump Fix His FUBAR Tariff Rollout?
21 replies
So far, President Donald Trump has been piloting his second term like Maverick from “Top Gun.” With one exception. The tariff rollout has been FUBAR, which is troubling since it’s Trump’s signature economic policy issue.
There have been glaring missteps along the way, repeated pauses, confused and conflicting messaging, turf wars. It’s draining public support and causing real economic problems as businesses can’t make plans while all this is in flux.
We aren’t privy to insider gossip to speculate why this is. But we can say that Trump needs to get his tariff act together, and fast.

After Trump’s exchange with Kaitlin Collins of CNN today, he suggested that CNN hates our country. Every Trump supporter knows why he said this. Almost everyone on that network is anti-Trump and anti-Trump supporters.
When CNN cut back to the studio, it was absolutely clear that host Dana Bash was not happy about Trump’s comments and she addressed them while looking visibly bothered and frustrated.
The truth hurts sometimes.
The Hill reported:
CNN anchor Dana Bash rebuked President Trump after he suggested on Monday the cable news network is withholding positive information about his administration from the public out of hatred.
There is a cancer in America’s military ranks, and it must be expunged before it’s too late. That cancer lies in uniformed service members’ widespread rejection of the uniquely American concept of civilian control of the military and disregard for the absolute necessity that America’s military officers remain apolitical in the face of the constitutional will of the electorate. Recent events reveal this cancer,... [Snip] I have heard from some anti-Trump officers that it is acceptable for them to challenge Trump and be “disloyal” to him on political matters... [Snip] The trends we are seeing feel dangerously close to an embrace of 1970s South American-style military juntas.
In a Monday night letter, William J. Pulter, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Agency (FHFA), referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for prosecution of mortgage fraud. (snip) Pulter said the agency has "identified matters that are appropriate for referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for consideration of criminal prosecution."
He added that, based on media reports, "Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) shot up in a poll that asked about the 2028 Democratic presidential primary after his recent record-breaking Senate speech. Booker placed second in a hypothetical primary behind former Vice President Kamala Harris in an Echelon Insights poll released this week, drawing support from 11 percent of respondents. In the same poll last month, Booker drew 2 percent support among party respondents — putting him in line with roughly a dozen other Democratic figures with low single-digit support. Booker, who is serving in his second term, set a record for the longest Senate speech in history in early
VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES -- New details were revealed in the tragic death of a 7-year-old girl in Van Nuys on Friday. Eyewitness News spoke with the suspect's fiancé, who is still in shock and grieving. Police identified the child's mother, 37-year-old Graciela Castellanos, as the primary suspect in the girl's death. She's accused of drowning her own daughter. A neighbor told ABC7 she heard the young child screaming, "Mommy, please no. Mommy, please no." (Snip) "First, I want to say that my wife was an almost perfect mom. She never told a bad word, yelled at the girl, didn't
