No loves Megan Rapinoe like Megan Rapinoe loves Megan Rapinoe.
She’s been in the spotlight for years now – with ESPN’s social justice warriors clambering over themselves to pat her on the back and forward her agenda. She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden, because why not? That award has no meaning any longer. Barack Obama gave one to Joe Biden at the end of his presidency. It was supposed to be his “go-away” gold watch. Like Obama’s Nobel and Biden Medal, Rapinoe was given one of the nation’s highest citizen awards because of her big mouth.

Megyn Kelly said that The Walt Disney Company’s emphasis on “wokeness” has cost it nearly $1 billion at the box office due to “flops” such as “Lightyear,” “The Little Mermaid” and “Elemental.”
Kelly devoted a segment of Thursday’s SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” to a YouTube report that claimed the Mouse House lost $900 million on its last eight feature films, several of which include prominent “woke” characters. “The people are not buying this content,” Kelly said during her podcast on Thursday.
“They don’t want this content.”
Kelly noted that media giants Disney, Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery have all seen their heads of diversity leave their jobs.

Trump may have an edge in primary polling, but even he can’t deny that Ron DeSantis is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to fundraising.
On Thursday, DeSantis’s first quarter fundraising numbers were released, showing that he has raised a whopping $20 million since launching his campaign on May 24. Nearly half of that came in the first 24 hours.
The DeSantis campaign shared its fundraising data with Fox News, touting the fact that this haul was the “largest first-quarter filing from any non-incumbent Republican candidate in more than a decade,” and that it even “bests the $18.3 million former president and quasi-incumbent Donald Trump’s campaign raised

Let’s be honest. If your 80-year-old father, grandfather, brother, or husband was in the same physical and mental condition as Joe Biden, would you want your loved one to face the rigors associated with the job of president of the United States — much less remain in office until age 86?
If Biden wins the 2024 Democrat nomination and goes on to win the election, he’ll be 82 on Inauguration Day 2025 and 86 years old if he finishes a second term. That is inconceivable, particularly given Biden’s steady decline, just since the 2020 primary season. His deterioration grows more evident, seemingly by the week, and attempting four more years

On the July 4th CNN This Morning show, CNN political analyst Natasha Alford dismissed white women Democrats who support Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) over his education policies, accusing them of having "privilege" which they are trying to preserve. Her analysis came after a pre-recorded piece was shown which highlighted women in Florida who previously supported Democrats but became big fans of Governor DeSantis because he pushed to reopen schools during the pandemic. After the piece concluded, co-anchor Phil Mattingly asked GOP strategist Joseph Pinion for his reaction, leading Republican to put a negative spin on the DeSantis presidential campaign by accusing him of hurting his standing by

My drumbeat for months now has been that, if the leftist takeover of America is to be stopped before our nation is irreparably damaged, the energy will come from parents. Someone on Team DeSantis understands that and put together one of the best campaign ads I’ve ever seen.
Americans will put up with a lot. Thanks to decades of indoctrination about climate change, they’ve been fairly meek as their standard of living, the highest ever attained in world history, is under perpetual attack. Although they hate the open border, they feel there’s not much they can do about it. They’re divided on Ukraine, but even those who dislike

During his presidency, Donald Trump discussed having the Internal Revenue Service conduct investigations into two FBI agents probing his 2016 campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, according to a sworn statement by his former chief of staff, John Kelly. The news was first reported by the New York Times on Friday evening.
The publication reported that Trump suggested using the tax collecting agency to target Peter Strzok and Lisa Page:
Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials,

billion in mysterious land purchases near a key Air Force base in California, but after eight months of digging has been unable to uncover the investors behind the deal, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
A mysterious group known as Flannery Associates has gobbled up nearly 52,000 acres of agricultural land in California, including areas near Travis Air Force Base, sparking concerns of foreign influence that lead to the Air Force’s Foreign Investment Risk Review Office’s probe, according to the WSJ. Flannery maintains it is majority American-owned, with the remaining 3% of invested capital originating from Ireland and Britain, but local authorities, lawmakers

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded a reporter Friday for asking if she would answer, once and for all, whether the cocaine that was discovered in the White House on Sunday “belonged to the Biden family.”
A white powder was discovered in the West Wing of the White House on Sunday and it was later confirmed to be cocaine. Jean-Pierre’s comments come one day after NBC reported that the cocaine was found in a working area of the West Wing, contradicting initial reports that suggested it was found in a locker used by visitors in the West Wing lobby.
In response to the question, Jean-Pierre said: “There has been

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would not say if the White House supports prosecuting the unknown cocaine White House smuggler.
Speaking at Wednesday’s press briefing, a reporter asked, “If the Secret Service determines who brought the cocaine into the White House, does the White House support the prosecution of this individual?” “I’m just not gonna get into hypotheticals from here. Let the Secret Service do their job. It’s under their purview. We are confident that they will get to the bottom of it. I’m just not going to get ahead of this at this time,” she replied. Jean-Pierre refused to answer a number of questions about the cocaine incident.

Florida employers are raising wages and urging greater investment in wage-boosting technological innovation after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a state-wide set of immigration reforms.
“Some of them have raised wages” amid a worker shortage, said Jeannie Economos, a manager at the Farmworker Association of Florida, which opposes the law. The farm companies are also “saying ‘More money for research into mechanization, we need more mechanization, we can’t afford the cost of labor,'” she told Breitbart News on June 6. Desantis’s immigration reforms — especially his law requiring employers to use the E-Verify system — are also pushing up wages in the construction sector, USA Today reported on June 21:

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has signaled a continued interest in a chaotic Oval Office meeting that took place in the final days of the Trump administration, during which the former president considered some of the most desperate proposals to keep him in power over objections from his White House counsel.
Multiple sources told CNN that investigators have asked several witnesses before the grand jury and during interviews about the meeting, which happened about six weeks after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Some witnesses were asked about the meeting months ago, while several others have faced questions about it more recently, including Rudy Giuliani.
