E. Jean Carroll posed for the cover of New York Magazine in June 2019. She was wearing what she claimed was the Donna Karan jacket dress she had worn when Donald Trump allegedly attacked her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1994. She later was forced to change her story after New York Magazine pointed out that the dress she said she was wearing was not sold in 1994. Carroll later claimed the alleged attack occurred in 1995 or 1996. But she is still not clear on the date it took place. Carroll said she met Trump on the...

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY), a surrogate for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that former President Donald Trump’s multiple indictments would “ripen into convictions.” Massie said, “You know, the main thing I hear from people back home is there mad that nobody’s held accountable in Washington DC. I think we need to hold Trump accountable. snip The lawsuit itself is ridiculous, but the underlying facts aren’t disputed, and I think people are going to kind of recoil from that when all that stuff starts coming out this summer. And the polls that show...

'Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated,' the doctor says ... Milford Regional Medical Center’s announcement about rules for its "inclusive environment" caused a recent stir with a warning to potential patients that they must follow a specific code of conduct to access their services. Dr. Peter Smulowitz, chief medical officer at the Massachusetts medical center, had released a now-unlisted video on the hospital’s official YouTube channel Jan. 3 explaining how not just staff, but patients themselves, are held accountable for causing offense, ranging from rhetoric to a...

Boy howdy… when things get interesting, they REALLY get interesting. In an effort to deflect attention from the gross corruption she initiated in the prosecution of Donald Trump, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis stepped into the middle of a contentious divorce between Willis’s married lover and appointed Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and his wife, Joycelyn Wade. After discovering details of the relationship between Nathan Wade and Fani Willis, lawyers representing Mrs. Joycelyn Wade wanted a deposition of Fani Willis. At issue are the finances in the marriage and Mrs. Wade’s discovery that her husband, Nathan Wade, and Fani Willis had...

Do you, or do you not believe this event happened as described?Rep. Barbara Lee: “I was walking to the Capitol and a man stopped me, a white guy, and told me I could not get into the members’ elevator…He told me it was for members only. I said, 'Sir, I’m a member of Congress' and showed him my pin. And he said, 'Whose pin did you steal?'" pic.twitter.com/RGhOpfTMjM— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) January 19, 2024If you believe the event happened as described, you are an idiot.No Capitol Security officer would treat even a potential Member of Congress in this manner, and...

Maine’s Democrat secretary of state, Shenna Bellows, is so determined to promote “trust in our free, safe and secure elections” that she wants to make sure voters in the state aren’t allowed to vote for the leading GOP contender, former President Donald Trump. After Trump appealed Bellows' unilateral decision to keep his name off the Republican primary ballot, Superior Court Judge Michaela Murphy called for a hold on her decision while the nation waits for the Supreme Court to weigh in on a similar situation in Colorado.Waiting for the nation’s top court to render judgment was just too inconvenient for...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder in an interview with MSNBC's Joy Reid warned that American democracy could end with Donald Trump being reelected to the presidency and that a second term would create a "weaponized Department of Justice." REID: And the thing is, I think what a lot of people, when we talk about the January 6 insurrection, which was an insurrection, part of it was a denial of the right to vote, right? HOLDER: Right. REID: It was essentially saying that, in the states where Donald Trump, the swing states where Donald Trump lost, those voters in predominantly black...

In retrospect, perhaps Fani Willis should have kept her mouth shut. Yesterday, the embattled Fulton County DA filed a motion in the Wade v Wade divorce action asking to quash a subpoena for her testimony. Rather than just argue that her testimony would be irrelevant in a case where both spouses agree that the marriage was “irretrievably broken” — certainly an arguable position — Willis accused Jocelyn Wade of “obstruction” of her prosecution of Donald Trump et al. And then Willis went one step further in accusing Mrs. Wade of infidelity as the cause of the divorce. Big mistake. Big,...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ alleged lover and outside counsel Nathan Wade purchased plane tickets in her name, according to a Friday court filing obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Bank statements contained in a Friday filing by Wade’s wife, Joycelyn Wade, show Wade purchased tickets to Miami and San Francisco in Willis’ name. The statements back up allegations contained in a motion filed last week by one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants that Wade used money earned from the “lucrative” contract Willis signed off on to take her on vacations. The motion alleged “Willis and Wade...

Three years removed from Jan. 6, the Justice Department signaled thousands more Americans could be in their prosecutorial crosshairs, even if they never entered the U.S. Capitol. This week, the pearl-clutching commemoration colloquially dubbed “Sixthmas” was marked in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere with crocodile tears and hand-wringing recounts from “survivors.” In furtherance of the historical fudging on what actually took place as Congress convened to certify the 2020 presidential election, a DOJ official indicated even more people present that day could be charged with a federal crime. Speaking for roughly an hour Thursday, President Joe Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the...

Harvard, Yale, and all the “best” academic institutions have been fatally compromised for decades. At some point, they went full anti-American, anti-Western, and radical revolutionary. Every time you hear “decolonize,” “diversity,” or “systemic whatever,” know that what they are saying is that they support revolutionary violence. That is literally what they mean. ... Sure, it’s true that not every person who teaches or works at an academic institution is an insane hater of all that is good and decent, but the administrations at those institutions are working hard to make it so. The institutions as a whole are rabidly anti-Western,...

A video of Colorado State Rep. Tim Hernández (D) refusing to condemn Hamas savagery in Israel went viral after he suggested that only three people would see it. With the death toll in Israel topping 1,000 and reported of dozens of babies being beheaded in one Israeli town, the video captures Hernández being asked to condemn women, children and elderly people being murdered in the street and he replied, “What about it?” Meanwhile, revolutionary Colorado State Rep. Tim Hernández — a Marxist who’s refused to denounce political violence — chose to side with Hamas. He liked a tweet from the...

A New York judge’s Tuesday ruling valuing Donald Trump’s sprawling, headline-making Florida estate at $18 million has left industry experts perplexed. In his verdict, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. This decision, which came down without a jury, has sent shockwaves through political — and real estate — circles, especially that $18 million base value for the property. One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity,...
