Schwarzenegger Drops a Truth Bomb on Jake
Tapper on Gerrymandering

Sometimes the truth doesn’t just contradict the narrative—it obliterates it entirely. When the liberal media sets up a segment to indict the Republican Party over an issue, the last thing they expect is for their guest to flip the script with bipartisan accountability. When Jake Tapper tried to make Republican redistricting the villain in America's gerrymandering crisis during Sunday's State of the Union, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't having it. The former California governor delivered a masterclass in bipartisan reality that left CNN's host scrambling to change topics.

Ahnuld also bombed “The View” too. He left those harpies diving for the fainting couch, on the subject of immigration, in which he straightened their wigs about legal v.s. illegal ommigration. Great clip!

The media thinks that Arnold is extra dumb compared to their opinion of generally dumb Republicans. Unfortunately for the hapless Tapper, Arnold is very sharp and schooled Tapper very well. But the media, in general, is ineducable. That's why so many of them are being let go, they cannot pivot to a new reality. This is also why CNN is dying and MSNBC > MS NOW > defunct.

Here we go. Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday issued an ominous warning to Venezuela’s Maduro. Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and told host Margaret Brennan that he doesn’t believe Maduro will stay around much longer. Margaret Brennan asked Lindsey Graham about the US potentially expanding military operations inside Venezuela after the Pentagon ordered the deployment of USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean Sea to “combat drug trafficking.” “It’s time for Maduro to go. I hope Maduro would leave peacefully, but I don’t think he’s going to stay around much longer,” Lindsey Graham casually said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely eviscerated ABC host Martha Raddatz’s attempt to peddle the tired Democrat narrative on the ongoing Schumer shutdown. During an interview on This Week, Raddatz pressed Bessent with a sob story about suffering federal employees hitting food banks, pressing Bessent on whether the President should bother meeting with Democrats again. But Bessent wasn’t having any of it. He fired back with unassailable facts, reminding Americans who’s really holding the nation hostage.
China’s 4.8% Mirage: Don’t Buy the
World Bank’s Fairy Tale

When I saw the World Bank quietly bump China’s 2025 growth projection to 4.8 percent (up from 4.0), I raised an eyebrow—not because Beijing can’t engineer a rebound in the short run, but because the narrative behind the number is riddled with smoke, mirrors, and national ambitions disguised as technocratic optimism. Let’s be clear: China’s leadership is always playing two simultaneous games. One is real—rebuilding factories, pushing infrastructure, and subtler consumer stimulus. The other is symbolic—sending the world a message that, despite internal tensions, debt bubbles, and demographic drag, it remains the engine of global growth. The World Bank’s new forecast plays right into that second game.
Trump Keeps Crushing the Pharma Special Interests 0 replies

When President Trump convinced AstraZeneca (on October 10) and Pfizer (on September 30) to lower their Medicare and Medicaid prices to match those charged in other countries, it was a major victory for American consumers. For decades, Americans have paid the highest prescription drug prices in the world, effectively subsidizing other nations’ cheaper costs. Trump finally forced Big Pharma to play fair. Even billionaire Mark Cuban had to admit it was a win. “Look at the Pfizer stock price,” he told The Washington Reporter. “It went up. This can be a positive for sure.” But in the very next breath,

One of the most popular and unintentionally hilarious bands in rock’s post-grunge, nu-metal era (the mid-to-late 1990s) was Rage Against the Machine, a Los Angeles-based quartet that was formed in 1991 and became globally famous in 1995 and 1996. The band—fronted by lead singer Zack de la Rocha and renowned guitarist Tom Morello—was popular because it was loud, funky, and nonconformist. It was unintentionally hilarious because it was “nonconformist” in the most conformist ways possible while rebelling against a peaceful and prosperous nation, largely lacking in major conflicts. The decade of the 1990s, you may recall, was something of a golden era in American history.

Macron did not even have the decency to make his recognition of a non-existent Palestinian state contingent on Hamas releasing the hostages. Joining Macron in this narcissistic display were other small, soft leaders with large, hard Islamist constituencies -- Britain's PM Keir Starmer, Australia's PM Anthony Albanese, and Canada's PM Mark Carney -- who followed Macron's lead in granting international legitimacy to a cause dedicated to terrorism. The Palestinian Authority continues to operate as an unelected dictatorship, funneling millions into its infamous pay-for-slay "jobs" program -- sometimes listed as "welfare" -- which grants salaries to terrorists and their families based on how many Jews they succeed in murdering.

Moscow carried out a successful test of its new “invincible” nuclear-capable cruise missile, with the Kremlin now working to deploy the doomsday weapon, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday. Putin hailed the test in a video released by the Kremlin while dressed in military fatigues, with the strongman calling on his top general to start preparing the Burevestnik missile for potential use. “We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces,” Putin instructed.

Leading America’s biggest city — the global financial capital, a media epicenter, and a sprawling metropolis of five boroughs covering 300 square miles — is a hard enough job. Addressing quality-of-life concerns, while keeping business humming, should take top priority for any mayor of New York City. Yet socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has all but vowed to drag his future constituency into the kind of destructive cultural warfare that the rest of the country voted to turn back from last year. His suddenly impassioned advocacy on transgenderism could also prove to be a distraction from the far more popular agenda of ...

The Trump administration took a shot at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, accusing her of stealing furniture from the White House, after she criticized President Trump's new Ballroom renovations. "Failed presidential candidate and former First Lady Crooked Hillary Clinton stole furniture from the White House on her way out until she was forced to return it," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital. "Crooked Hillary is shameless and a total disgrace. Meanwhile, President Trump is restoring the White House to its proper glory for Americans to enjoy for generations to come — at no expense to the taxpayer — something we should all celebrate."

Trump is in Malaysia for the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). While there, Trump is also presiding over the signing of a peace agreement he brokered between Cambodia and Thailand.

On October 15th, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr Carol Swain ahead of her appearance at the Cambridge University Union, where she opposed the motion: ‘This House Believes Black Lives Matter’s Intentions Were More Important Than Its Methods.’ Dr Swain is one of America’s most respected conservative scholars – a woman whose life embodies grit, faith and a fearless commitment to truth. Born in rural Virginia in 1954, the second of 12 children, she grew up in abject poverty, left school early, married at 16 and became a mother at 17. Yet against all odds, she earned five university degrees while working full-time and raising a family,

Catherine Connolly, a pro-immigration self-avowed socialist running as an independent, won Ireland’s 2025 presidential election in a landslide Friday, defeating both of the nominees of the country’s two largest parties. Connolly, 68, pulled in a massive 63.4% of votes, dwarfing the 29.5% received by Fine Gael nominee Heather Humphreys and the 7.2% won by Fianna Fáil nominee Jim Gavin. In her victory speech, the socialist promised to be “an inclusive president” multiple times and expressed her desire to “shape a new republic … that values and champions diversity … and the new people that have come to our country.”

Biden is scheduled to attend the event on Sunday at the institute's Columbia Point building in Boston, where he will be honored alongside former Labor Secretary and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and retired U.S. Navy Admiral Lisa Franchetti. Walsh and Franchetti will both receive Awards for Inspired Leadership, the institute said in a statement. The awards will be presented during the Edward M. Kennedy Institute's 10th Anniversary Celebration, which is the organization's major annual fundraiser.

Wind power has been sold to us as an environmental utopia, with lower costs, but ends up being nothing of the sort in practice. With the aid of government subsidies, we are putting up electric generating windmills all over the place. Such subsidies include the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which, according to the Institute for Energy research (IRER), provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for electricity generated by qualified wind projects; and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a tax credit based on the investment made in renewable energy projects, including wind. According to IRER, trillions are being invested here. The United States, under the Biden-Harris climate bill,

The No Kings protests were a display of left-wing idiocy as participants dressed in costumes, chanted like ageing hippies at a Joan Baez concert, and held silly signs demanding that America have “no kings.” It would appear that they achieved their goal, since we haven’t been ruled by a monarch in 249 years. Great job, guys. As both our Nick Arama and Jennifer Oliver O’Connell noted in their coverage of the insanity, the crowds across the country seemed to look quite similar—they mostly seemed comprised of not-young white people. It turns out they were onto something, as American University researchers have discovered that one group in particular dominated the numbers

Gun control in America’s northern neighbor has moved into confiscation phase, as Nova Scotia, Canada’s east coast province, kicked off a pilot program of “voluntary” gun buybacks in September, while the western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan say they will not comply. The national ban was originally decreed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2020, covering 1,500 models of rifles, but has since been expanded to include more than 2,500 models. And while the ban is purported to cover “semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability,” the list of prohibited firearms also includes more traditional bolt-action rifles and shotguns commonly used in hunting.

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes,

Multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last weekend, French officials said Sunday. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, including one man who was taken into custody as he was about to leave the country from Charles de Gaulle airport. Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests, though French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody. She did not say whether the jewels had been recovered. Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros

Speaking on the Hell Gate podcast Friday, Mamdani, 34, was confronted with concerns that Tisch would stand against the type of reforms the Democratic Socialist and his supporters are pushing for, given her previous positions. “Lots of people who support your candidacy care about criminal-justice reform and reforming the NYPD, and for the past year, she has stood to thwart that,” host Christopher Robbins reminded Mamdani as the host asked for an explanation as to why the frontrunner said
