California Governor Gavin Newsom has clapped back at Musk on X after the tech billionaire announced that he will move SpaceX and X headquarters to Texas over Newsom's new gender identity laws. Newsom on Tuesday wrote on the social media platform: 'You bent the knee', along with a screenshot of a 2022 Tweet by Donald Trump criticizing Musk. This was in response to 52-year-old Musk's decision to move the X and SpaceX headquarters to Texas after he said that Newsom's signing of a law that bans California school districts from notifying parents if their child is transgender was 'the final straw'.

The Democrats like posing as victims and heroes of resistance don't they, even when they are shooting, punching, taking children from their parents, trying to change everybody's religions, and cheating at elections, mocking the poor, and driving forward wars that will be fought by the powerless in other countries. But supposedly they're all Spartacus. Gavin Newsom you are the pet of a half dozen billionaires. When people disagree with you, do not go pose on a plinth.

Any man who expects women to shower with grown men, so the men don't feel bad about themselves is not a leader...he's an exploiter of women. Corrupt Democrat politicians have discovered they can use an intentionally distorted power of the state to deprive women and girls of their right to say NO. When they say NO to state sanctioned voyeurism in showers and locker rooms, and unfair athletic "competitions" against men, they're demonized for standing up for themselves. But not there will be a cost to doing that. It's refreshing to see common sense and the role of cause and effect return to political conversations. It's about time. So much fun to see the lazy legacy media and their beloved Democrats trying to defend their indefensible behavior. Thank you for taking a stand for common sense, Elon Musk.

The View's Joy Behar has been slammed for describing Donald Trump as 'very narcissistic' after he claimed he survived his assassination attempt because God was 'on his side' – with a growing mob now calling for her to be sacked. The former president, 78, acknowledged his Christian faith as he addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, earlier this week, marking his first speech since he was shot at by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks last Saturday. Behar, 81, criticized Trump's lengthy statement during Friday's episode, branding his words 'very unchristian' and 'disturbing.'

US President Joe Biden doubled down on his insistence that he will stay in the White House race, despite a growing Democrat revolt that raised speculation he could bow out as soon as this weekend. “The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win,” the 81-year-old said in a written statement from the Delaware beach home where he is recovering from Covid. Biden vowed to return to the campaign trail next week, and took aim at Donald Trump’s “dark” speech accepting his nomination at the Republican National Convention on Thursday. But his defiance came as six more House Democrats and another senator joined those publicly

Is there a shift coming? We're seeing Democrats continuing to implode all over the place over their presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Republicans have come together behind former President Donald Trump, and they just had a banger of a convention that even CNN's Van Jones had to praise because of the spirit it had. When even those on the left have to acknowledge the obvious, you know that the narrative is taking a serious beating and may be in trouble. Now, let's add one more to that narrative whomping. CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg just made some surprising comments about the Trump assassination attempt in a new interview.

King explained that Trump’s third presidential campaign is unlike his first two. “He is ahead,” he said. “And you could even say he’s ahead in a commanding way that is growing.” King showed CNN’s current projections that Trump already has enough electoral college votes to win the 2024 presidential election if only Republican strongholds and states that lean Republican are counted. “If he just won the states on this map, that we have as either solid or leaning Republican, he’s already the next president of the United States.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — The contrast between former President Donald Trump’s path to completing the greatest comeback in U.S. political history and the Democrat’s disarray appeared stark this week at the Republican National Convention. At the beginning of the week, it looked like Biden was in a strong position to overcome objections to his nomination. The assassination attempt on Trump paused Democrat infighting about Biden remaining atop the ticket. It dominated the news cycle, followed by the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump, and then Trump’s pick of Sen. JD Vance as his running mate.Not one Democrat publicly came out against Biden from Saturday to Monday,

What unfolded in Broward County was not new, but a replay of well-honed methodology. The authors interviewed Bob Haueter, chief of staff to the California Assembly Republican Caucus, as well as Republicans such as former California Assemblyman Pat Nolan.

There has been no shortage of speakers at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee — and no shortage of speakers named Trump. RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, addressed the convention on Tuesday evening. Eldest son Don Jr. spoke Wednesday evening — though his 17-year-old daughter, Kai, stole a bit of his thunder. Thursday night, the last night of the convention, Eric Trump spoke ahead of his father's address, following moving remarks and prayer offered by Franklin Graham. Eric began by reflecting on his father's announcement to the family eight years ago that he'd made a decision that would forever change their lives.

Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history. The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans. I say this not to engage in hyperbole,

And privately, many of those leaders have expressed doubts about his path forward. Former President Barack Obama’s only public comment came the day after Biden’s disastrous debate last month, when he tweeted “Bad debate nights happen“ and talked about his former vice president’s virtues. Privately, however, Obama has concerns. Bill and Hillary Clinton have

Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday. Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.

As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself. A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say. Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa. The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra.

The 44th president also stressed that while Biden’s legacy was important to him, only his former vice president could make the call on whether to stay in the race. “Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket.
