Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally brought a rare Melania sighting, another strange speech from Elon Musk, an appeal against DEI from Dr. Phil, more Hulk Hogan nonsense and a racist comedian who was so bad, even Trumpers had a hard time laughing at his offensive jokes. Video shows a steady stream of people leaving while Trump spoke. One note: Trump is now promising to build a dome over America.  ...

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith had to correct Sean Hannity yesterday on Fox. Hannity was trying to normalize Trump’s mental state and Smith wasn’t having it. In trying to defend Donald Trump, Hannity said Harris struggles to speak in public and that she hast to give word salads because she can’t say how she really feels. Smith called Hannity out: 'I know you're not talking about someone being lucid an...

Tucker Carlson was on stage with Trump at a rally in Georgia last night and it got weird. Carlson, in what was at best a completely misogynistic rant and at worst pervy and abusive, slammed Vice President Kamala Harris and then said “dad” was coming home to deliver punishment. Of Daddy Trump, Carlson said, “He’s pissed! Dad is pissed. … And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a...

Perhaps Donald Trump has had a lot of time to reflect after the two attempts on his life during this campaign. Perhaps he really caught religion or perhaps he was just trying to play to the Christian voters he was in front of when he said he was chosen by a “supernatural hand” inferring that God selected him. He also told the group of conservative pastors at the 11th Hour Faith Leaders Meeting, “I...

If Donald Trump is allowed to move forward with his plan for the economy, nonpartisan budget watchdog group “The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget” says it would push Social Security to insolvency three years earlier than expected and would cut benefits by nearly a third.  Between Trump’s plans for mass deportations, tariffs and tax cuts, the Social Security program’s trust fund would dry...

Trump seems to be having more serious mental issues. Over the weekend at a rally, he referred to the late golfer Arnold Palmer’s penis size. He’s also sticking to his nonsensical lie that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald’s and showed up to work at a McDonald’s cooking up french fries. Last week, he decided to play music at a town hall event and sway back and forth rather than take questions....

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk is kickong off a series of solo rallies in support of Donald Trump. Yesterday, Musk appeared at a high school In Ridley Township, Pennsylvania. He called the state of linchpin of this election. Musk told the crowd that if they cared about the US Constitution, they would vote for Trump. Trump is the only candidate who has advocating suspending the United States Co...

With fewer than 20 days until the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris walked into the lion’s den and sat down for an interview with Brett Baier, of Fox News. The moment the interview started, the atmosphere was tense. Harris was strong when it came to protecting the constitutional rights of Americans. She called Baier out for not telling the real story about Trump’s threats ag...

Yesterday, Donald Trump told a room full of women at a Fox News town hall event that he is the father of IVF. Monday, Trump sat down with Bloomberg Editor John Micklethwait at the Economic Club of Chicago. Rolling Stone called it a total mess, saying, “the former president was incoherent when pressed with real questions about his policies.” It was clear he didn’t understand the ramifications of th...

Incensed by the idea that his beloved Fox News would interview Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump took to social media. Trump wrote Fox “has grown weak and soft on Democrats.” He accused Fox News anchor Bret Baier, set to interview Harris on Wednesday, of being too soft on the left. He then slammed other Fox hosts. Though Trump has upcoming appearances scheduled on Fox, he says he won’t be going...

You would think that while standing behind a podium in Detroit, Michigan trying to court voters, a presidential candidate would not badmouth a city to its own residents. That’s what Trump did yesterday. Speaking at the Detroit Energy Club, Trump rambled on for nearly three hours. He took the opportunity to express his dismay over Vice President Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview, and said that...

A Trump rally in Pennsylvania yesterday turned into something of an embarrassment. Trump told the crowd,“We do a lot of these beautiful rallies, and it’s so great. We never have an empty seat, never have, look at it!” So, it appears a few people actually looked around. Whole sections of seating areas at the back of the Trump rally were either empty or mostly empty. The pictures were quickly posted...

Hurricane Milton strengthened back into a Category 5 storm as people continue to try to leave danger zones on clogged Florida freeways. One woman told CNN, “This is the one we prepare for but never had.” Those choosing to stay are facing dire warnings. Tampa’s mayor is telling her constituents “If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you’re gonna die.” The Police Chief of Holmes Be...

Vice President Kamala Harris did not get softball questions when she sat down with Bill Whitaker on CBS’ 60 Minutes. He pressed her on the economy and on immigration policies, putting the questions to her until he got direct answers. Harris shined when asked about foreign relations and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Trump canceled his scheduled 60 Minutes appearance.  Trump continues to...

Elon Musk, it appears, just had his Tom Cruise couch jumping moment. Over the weekend at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, Musk was strangely jumping and leaping around behind Donald Trump on stage. The event was held in Butler, Pennsylvania, the sight of the first Trump attempted assassination. In addition to his bizarre jumping for joy cheerleading routine, when Musk spoke, he called himself “Dark...

Colorado Republican Tina Peters is headed to jail. As a former Colorado county clerk, she promoted Trump’s 2020 election lies and was behind a security breach of Mesa County’s voting system. In other words, she tried to cheat and take the voice away from the voters she was supposed to protect. Tina Peters was convicted of four felony and three misdemeanor charges in connection with using another p...

The judge in Trump’s federal election interference case is making portions of a dossier of evidence against him public. From comments he allegedly made about his Vice President Mike Pence being in danger to statements he made about the outcome of the election to those around him…the evidence appears damning. Former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz will break it down.

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz seemed a bit nervous as the debate started, but got over that pretty quickly. Republican JD Vance was confident from the start and presenting a side of himself that voters have not yet seen, someone who, on the surface, seems reasonable. While the debate was surprisingly civil (mics were only disabled once), Vance masterfully spun lies into his answe...

We get to find out a little more about the Vice Presidential candidates tonight in their only debate of this election. There will not be a live audience at the VP Debate in New York, but unlike the presidential debate, the microphones will stay on. For the last couple of months, Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance have been disparaging each other from afar, so tonight’s meeting will likely b...

Newly leaked messages do not bode well for the relationship between JD Vance and Donald Trump. The “Washington Post” says in 2020, Vance was using X (then called Twitter) to send direct messages critical of Trump. The WP says Vance was not pleased with Trump’s record as president writing, “Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy)...

From golden sneakers to bibles, Trump is slapping his name on anything he thinks will make him a buck. With only two months until the election, it seems everything must go. In the last couple of weeks, Trump silver coins, Trump watches, and Trump crypto have all launched. The watches are selling from between $500-$100,000. Trump did not design or manufacture the watches. He just licensed his name...

We know that a presidential candidate can win the popular vote yet lose because of the electoral college votes. It was thought that Republicans had the advantage, but new data shows Trump may not be as strong on Electoral College numbers now. According to the New York Times polling average, it looks like Kamala Harris won’t need to win the popular vote by much to take the presidency. It all comes...

It may be a long shot, but a nonprofit called the Haitian Bridge Alliance wants Trump & Vance to legally answer for the lies they’ve told about Haitians eating pets . They want the two men arrested and facing criminal charges after the claims made without evidence resulted in bomb threats and safety issues. They accuse Trump/Vance of making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravat...

No matter the audience, Donald Trump is trying to scare the hell out of people insisting their livelihoods will end should Vice President Kamala Harris win the election. Trump tells people, no matter their occupation, they won’t be able to rely on that job anymore. He is stoking fear against immigrants, insists we should all be afraid of a crime wave (even though violent crime under President Bide...
