A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that dramatic audio and video recordings captured the night David DePape allegedly bludgeoned Paul Pelosi with a hammer at his San Francisco home could be publicly released. In a short hearing Wednesday afternoon, Judge Stephen Murphy sided with a group of media outlets, including ABC, NBC, KQED, Politico, The New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle, in granting access to the footage, though the timing on when the actual files will be released is not yet certain.

Author and intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the January 6 riot at the Capitol was only the start of the “Trump insurgency.”Nance said, “As you recall, on November 6, 2020, I was on ‘Real Time’ with Bill Maher, and when everyone was on the show preaching kumbaya and come together and understand the Trump voters, and I say I have some bad news and they are going into insurgency. An insurgency is not an insurrection. That’s just one action that takes place during an insurgency. An insurgency is a broad campaign that may involve...

During a guest appearance on CNN’s The Situation Room Thursday evening, CNN Tonight host Don Lemon flipped out and doubled down on comments he made the previous night, blaming President Trump for the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. . . . "Do you understand what I am saying? No one wants to hear from the person that they perceive as contributing to this situation – situations like this in this society. Not directly, but allowing people like that to think they can get away from this. He went on to say that the...

Down in Florida, there’s some talk among liberals to #BoycottPublix, the giant Florida grocery store chain, over its financial support of GOP gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam because Putnam is supporter of the NRA:

Social media erupted after Avengers director Joss Whedon attacked President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and compared his wife, Ivanka Trump, to a dog. “Hey, keep your eyes on this fu*king prize too. He’s a Voldemort in training,” Whedon wrote on Twitter Tuesday, sharing a photo of Jared Kushner standing next to Trump in the Oval Office. “Unlike the Pekingese he married under, can play the long game,” Whedon wrote, comparing Ivanka to the dog breed. Social media users didn’t hesitate to call the director out for his attacks on President Trump’s children. Some users pointed out what they called...

As I mentioned last week, I was never much of a Tucker Carlson fan until FNC gave him this new show. Now I'm checking almost every weeknight to see if he's embarrassed yet another lib. My biggest worry at this point is that they will all eventually catch on and refuse to appear on his show. Tonight's victim was a smug college kid who came armed with the mustache of a 12-year-old boy and not much else. Enjoy.

1. Build The Wall "We will build a great wall along the southern border and Mexico will pay for the wall. They don't know it yet, but they're going to pay for the wall. Great people and great leaders, but they're going to pay for the wall. We will use the best technology — including above and below-ground sensors, towers, [and] aerial surveillance to supplement the wall." 2. Zero Tolerance Against Illegal Immigrants "Day one, my first hour in office, [illegal immigrants] are gone. And you can call it deported if you want.. You can call it whatever the hell...

Kerry: Governing Is Hard When You Have to Go on 'The View' 5:06 PM, Aug 31, 2016 | By Chris Deaton The way John Kerry sees it, there is no joy when the president goes on The View. The secretary of state lamented the difficulty of governing in the modern media age during a visit to India Wednesday, nostalgically recalling the days "the big three" television networks owned the airwaves and assessing the burden of communicating the White House's message across a variety of media. "If a president wants to talk to the nation, he or she has to go...

I'm not even going to mention his name. That is all he wanted, his figure, his credentials and his name splashed all over the news. What a genius. He didn't pay a dime for thousands of dollars worth of advertising and now all he has to do is walk into any modeling agency and tell them who he is. Instant name recognition. One news account basically listed his resume for him by mentioning his education and activities and the work he has done. Actually, what he did was STEAL thousands of dollars worth of advertising by conning the media into...

Fresh off endorsing a woman to succeed him in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama stood before 5,000 convened as part of a White House summit on women and delivered his most robustly feminist speech yet. "I may be a little grayer than I was eight years ago," Obama told the advocates. "But this is what a feminist looks like." While he said little about the presidential election, Obama's words implicitly drew a contrast between the majority-female, diverse Democratic coalition and the party of Trump. "You hear politicians peddle the fiction that blocking immigrants or cutting off trade or 'big...

Indianapolis (CNN)South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is predicting "another 9/11" if Donald Trump is elected president. In an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" Graham said the Republican Party is in the midst of a "civil war" and called Trump's foreign policy positions dangerous. He pointed to former House Speaker John Boehner's comments about his friendly relationship with Trump, and Boehner's dismissal of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump's chief Republican presidential rival, as "Lucifer in the flesh."

As he looks back at his presidency in his final year, President Obama said Wednesday he has nothing to be “ashamed” of. “I feel pretty good about the fact that I can look back and say that I operated with honesty and integrity and don’t feel as if I said things I didn’t believe, or acted in ways that would make me ashamed,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Argentina. “That, I think, counts for something.” At a joint press conference with Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, Mr. Obama was asked by a Buenos Aires resident on Facebook if he had achieved...

House Speaker Paul Ryan said he "laughed out loud" at Donald Trump's Super Tuesday comment that the Wisconsin Republican would "pay a big price" if he couldn't work with him. "Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction around here these days," Ryan told reporters at his weekly press conference. The speaker said he watched Trump's comments from his office. Trump did not elaborate on his Ryan comment. Ryan has publicly rebuked Trump twice during this presidential nomination contest. First, for calling for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S., and then this week for Trump's failure to distance himself quickly...

The prominent conservative founder of Hobby Lobby on Sunday endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president while ripping apart GOP front-runner Donald Trump David Green, founder and CEO of the arts-and-crafts chain store, said he will vote for Rubio this week in his home state of Oklahoma, which is one of a dozen states holding primaries on Super Tuesday. "Marco Rubio has impressed us with his preparation and the way he carries himself. But most importantly, Marco regularly exhibits humility and gives the glory to God," Green wrote in a statement. "I don't see humility in Mr. Trump, and that...

Putin Promises 'Vengeance' on ISIS, Weakest Response Award Officially Goes to POTUS Cortney O'Brien | Nov 17, 2015 In perhaps the least surprising turn of events, another world leader is showing more passionate determination to make ISIS answer for its barbarism than President Obama. Countless pundits, many of them liberal, have expressed their disappointment with the president's emotionless, defensive press conference Monday at the G-20 summit. Many Americans hoped he would boldly pledge to go after the terrorists, yet at best he said we were going to stay the course. As in, he is not about to change our failed...

In watching the interaction with Trump and Ramos I thought of John Wayne when Trump told Ramos to sit down several times and then a final time with authority. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3mj51qagx0 I like to think John Wayne wouldn't have put up with the rudeness from Ramos either. I dunno. Maybe Trump is a cross between John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan, and of course, himself in many ways. One thing is for sure; I know I'm tired of weak effeminate male leaders of which we have far too many in DC now starting with obummer, McConnell, and Boehner. I hate to...

By now, you really would have thought Michael Bloomberg would have learned his lesson. The out-of-touch New York City mayor has lately made it his business to be in everyone else's business - whether that means trying to decide for New York residents what they are allowed to eat or drink, or trying to tell people from other states what to think of their elected officials. More often than not, however, Mayor Bloomberg's overreaches have been repelled. The courts struck down Bloomberg's ban on large sodas. Notable Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, from Bloomberg's home state, is on the record as...

<p>SPARTANBURG, S.C. - State Sen. Lee Bright has brought his campaign website online as he considers a Republican primary challenge against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham next year.</p>

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s primary challenger retweeted a tweet that calls him “Nancy boy,” according to the Sunlight Foundation’s Politwoops, which monitors politicians’ deleted tweets.

I was listening to the tape-delayed Obamacare oral arguments in the car Tuesday when I first heard Justice Breyer's Commerce Clause diatribe, and I meant to post something when I got home. But after making dinner and putting the kids to bed, I forgot.Until today, that is, when I read Jeffrey Anderson's account of "Breyer's Missteps." I think Jeffrey is far too generous to Breyer. Here is a fuller transcript of Breyer's outburst: I look back into history, and I think if we look back into history we see sometimes Congress can create commerce out of nothing. That's the...
