ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl is asserting in his new book, “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show,” that so-called “rock-solid” sources claim former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussed a plan to oust then-President Trump from office following the Jan. 6 protest.He is contending that Mnuchin called Pompeo on the evening of Jan. 6 to discuss using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, according to the liberal media outlet Rolling Stone.The amendment, which was added to the Constitution following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, provides for the removal of an incapacitated president,

Yeah, this is the a-klown who excused the media for not investigating the possibility that covid originated in a lab in Wuhan because Trump used racist terms in describing the virus. I also recall he was the WH press corp overseer who decided which reporters were allowed at press conferences and excluded reporters who were favorable toward Trump.and hus admin. No journalist nor reporter he.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” HBO host and comedian Bill Maher said that if Donald Trump Jr. engaged in the same behavior as Hunter Biden, it would get constant coverage on MSNBC, but Hunter’s behavior doesn’t get the same coverage because President Joe Biden is a Democrat.While discussing how people perceive former President Donald Trump’s behavior, Maher said, “I mean, if Don Jr. had done what Hunter Biden had done, it would be every night, all night on MSNBC, but the fact that it’s Hunter Biden and Joe’s on the blue team — see, that’s the problem with America, everything is so binary.

In a race that ain't even close, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is the most visible member of the Democratic Congress. No lawmaker has enjoyed more free airtime than the California congressman, despite his outright falsehoods about having definitive proof of Trump-Russia collusion. In a sane media world, Schiff would have been jettisoned to obscurity a long time ago. Any old-school television news producer would have declared Schiff as someone not credible, all while being incredibly predictable. This is the same person – as ranking member and then chairman of the House Intelligence Committee – who presented the now-debunked Steele dossier as gospel instead of gossip

President Joe Biden on Wednesday dodged responsibility for record-high energy prices and asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate oil companies for “anti-competitive behavior.”With nationwide gas prices reaching historic highs, inflation marking a thirty-year high, and a supply chain that seems permanently broken, President Biden is presumably seeking to escape responsibility for his failed energy agenda by placing blame on oil companies.“I do not accept hard-working Americans paying more for gas because of anti-competitive or otherwise potentially illegal conduct,” President Biden said. “I therefore ask that the Commission further examine what is happening with oil and gas markets,

Is Joe Biden plotting with House Democrats to replace Kamala Harris? Sure looks that way, given some curious goings on reported by Fox News's straight-news congressional correspondent, Chad Pergram (snip) The Pergram report follows from another rumor just a day ago of a Biden plan to kick Harris upstairs: Rumors have circulated that Biden may even be considering nominating Harris for a Supreme Court seat if one becomes vacant so that he can select a new Vice President. (snip) What's significant about that is that Joe has decades of friendships, alliances, and honor-among-thieves relationships throughout Congress. Harris, by contrast, has few allies, given her self-serving and ambitious nature.

President Biden on Wednesday called for the Federal Trade Commission to probe whether oil and gas companies are engaging in criminal conduct by profiting from artificially high prices at the pump, even as wholesale fuel costs decline. Biden – under mounting political pressure with inflation at the highest rate in more than three decades – urged FTC Chair Lina Khan in a letter to investigate potential wrongdoing by the industry, alleging "mounting evidence of anti-consumer behavior" by the companies. "The bottom line is this: gasoline prices at the pump remain high, even though oil and gas companies' costs are declining,"

During the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution argued that Kyle provoked the men who attacked him by waving his gun. To prove this, during the trial, the prosecution gave the defense fuzzy drone footage. There was a great deal of argument about what could be extrapolated from that fuzzy view. It turns out that the prosecution had within its possession a high-quality video that it played for the judge after the trial ended. On this, and other evidentiary grounds, the defense moved for a mistrial with prejudice.
