Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who has broken with the Left’s orthodoxy numerous times, did it again, ripping into leftists on social media who celebrated the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Thompson was shot to death on December 4 outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan. A suspect has been arrested for his murder, and many leftists cheered the killing. “He’s the a**hole that’s going to die in prison,” Fetterman stated. “Congratulations if you want to celebrate that. A sewer is going to sewer. That’s what social media is about. And I don’t know why the media wants to turn that into a story,

It's kind of scary to think that John Fetterman is the clearest thinker in the modern Democrat party. But I'll give credit where it is due.

A stroke does mot necessarily erase one's brainpower. And we don't know any details on the type of stroke Fetterman had. He is clearly able to process information, form cogent opinions and articulate them.

I don't recall Fetterman being upset about lefties cheering on Trump's attempted assassinations. I'll apologize if I'm wrong. But also, conservatives do NOT "pick on" trans people. All we're doing (most of the time) is standing our ground. They are the ones foisting themselves and their insane mental illnesses onto our hitherto-sane society. We're not allowed to notice that and/or reject it?

I'm right there with you, #1. But his rant about trans kids is wrong. Just because the parents "raise" them to be trans doesn't mean they are trans; it very well could mean they've been brainwashed, John. So characterizing protecting children from having surgeries and chemo treatments forced on them when they're 10 years old just because the mommies really, really believe it is good for them is not "picking on trans kids." It's allowing them to have informed, adult consent before being mutilated.

He's right, of course. When the Jamaican Joke got beat, all of the loony leftists didn't just pack up their tents and go home. Like ticks, they simply latch on to other causes.

Phildadelphia— More than 400 tips were called into the New York Police Department’s Crime Stoppers tip line during the five-day search for a masked gunman who ambushed and fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week. NYPD officials said about 30 of those tips were useful as information about the gunman’s movements before and after the Dec. 4 shooting. But it wasn’t until a 911 call came in from a McDonald’s employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday that police zeroed in on their suspect. Up to $60,000 in rewards from the FBI and the Crime Stoppers program had been offered to anyone calling in a tip leading to

Horowitz also noted some of these sources were on the ground in Washington D.C. on January 6, but not authorized to enter the U.S. Capitol or to encourage attendees of Trump's rally to commit illegal acts.

“Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn’t know because they might reflect badly on Democrats.” Blogger Sean Medlock (a.k.a. Jim Treacher) posted that jibe on Twitter back in 2014, and not much has changed since then, except that today the American press finds itself in the middle of a slow-motion cataclysm. Where all the debris finally settles is anybody’s guess, but one thing that’s been blasted for sure is the media’s credibility with the public. Fewer than one in three respondents to a Gallup poll now say they trust the media’s reporting “a great deal” or a “fair amount.” It’s a poll the Gallup organization

Democrat Senator John Fetterman announced he is enthusiastically backing one of President-elect Donald Trump's top Cabinet picks. Having split with his partly over the Israel-Hamas war over his devout defense of Israel, the first-term Pennsylvania lawmaker has carved out a unique position standing on the edge of his party's rightward line. So it is fitting that he is one of the first Democratic senator to have met with any of Trump's Cabinet picks as most on the left hold their fire while GOP lawmakers take meeting after meeting. Following a sit down on Wednesday with Trump's pick to lead the United Nations, Rep. Elise Stefanik,

“I’ll only do what the law allows, but I will go up to the maximum level of what the law allows” to reverse the migrant invasion, President-elect Donald Trump told TIME Magazine in an interview. Some foreign governments may resist the return of their migrants, but “I’ll get them into every country, or we won’t do business with those countries,” Trump told the magazine, whose interviewers repeatedly pressed Trump to back off of his election promises.Time asked conventional questions echoing the establishment’s opposition to Trump’s popular policies: “What will you do if the military does not or refuses to carry out your [migration-law enforcement] orders? …

Over 1,000 people have unsurprisingly received a get-out-of-jail-free card thanks to Joe Biden just a month before he leaves office. The Associated Press reported on Thursday that Biden has decided to commute the sentences of about 1500 convicts who were released from prison during the COVID-19 pandemic and placed on home confinement. In addition, Biden also announced he was pardoning 39 people convicted of “non-violent” crimes. This marks the largest single-day act of clemency in modern American history. Barack Obama previously held the record at 330 right before leaving office in 2017.

He’s college material — and, apparently, boyfriend material, too.

He’s a ladies’ man for sure. He’s really popular with the ladies,” a source told People. (Photos) “He’s tall and handsome.

Donald Trump savaged Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed White House bid in his Time “Person of the Year” interview — saying her biggest mistake was “taking the assignment” altogether. The President-elect — who was given the magazine’s lofty title on Thursday — said Harris’ campaign was doomed from the start “because you have to know what you’re good at.” Trump said what he believes also cost her the election was her neglect to reach a wider audience on the campaign trail by speaking to streamers and podcasters — such as Joe Rogan — as he did. “When she wouldn’t talk to anybody, it shone a light on her,” Trump said.

Climate ‘scientists’ discover they’ve

Climate scientists recently discovered that they’ve been underestimating the impact of a particular organic compound in the atmosphere, and the oversight’s significance is so profound that it’s left existing climate models completely obsolete. As Jo Nova writes, “This is so big, it may change the sacred ‘climate sensitivity’ of the whole Earth”. Isoprene is what’s known as a volatile organic compound, or a VOC, and “has a recognized role in protecting plants against many abiotic stresses” like “heat stress…drought…[and] oxidative stress” with trees being the greatest emitters. (When the chemical isoprene interacts with other compounds in the atmosphere, the products are a number of secondary organic aerosols.)

But this does seem like a good occasion to reflect on what has changed over these past 25 years.

And I’m not just talking about members of the working class who feel betrayed by elites;

The deal was reportedly agreed last month when the Facebook boss had a surprise dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which has become the hub for his fledgling administration.

However, it seems the pair have put their differences aside as the Meta CEO has promised a large paycheck, according to the Wall Street Journal. t's also claimed Zuckerberg gave a demonstration on the company's latest invention, Ray Ban Smart Glasses, then gave them as a gift to Trump.

Kentanji Brown Jackson may not know what a woman is, but she knows what it is to go to bed one night as just an ordinary Supreme Court justice and to wake up the next day as a Broadway star. Yup, she’s hitting the Great White Way (or, maybe, in her case, the Great Black Way) to fulfill a childhood dream: taking a turn in a Broadway musical. Interestingly, the particular musical she’s chosen, “& Juliet,” is a tawdry pro-transgender show. I think we can now guess how Jackson will vote on Tennessee’s “no ‘gender-affirming’ care on minors” law.

But several experts said the US government might be behind the unsettling flights — which could be part of a super-secret military program meant to test new hardware before it hits the battlefield.
