WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden will say on Wednesday that threats by some Republican candidates to refuse to accept election results if they lose is a "path to chaos" and will urge voters to reject election deniers. The White House released excerpts of a speech Biden was to deliver later on Wednesday night as he tries to help Democrats face down a strong challenge from Republicans and maintain control of the U.S. Congress. Biden will say that the Nov. 8 elections are the first since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump....

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “it is pathetic” that Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Ron DeSantis (R-FL) were taking advantage of helpless people by sending migrants to northern cities. Durbin said, “It is pathetic that the governors are taking advantage of these helpless people, making promises to them, and off they go to places far removed from where they’re supposed to be appearing under the requirements of our law in a matter of weeks and months. He is jeopardizing their stay here. Why is it when the Republicans want to enforce their immigration...

I must get this off my chest. Mind you, this is more of a rant to all those feeling nostalgic and remorseful over a Queen who lived the life of privilege from birth to death. As much as I mourn the passing of any human, I pray she was saved. While I do truly feel she was a good woman, I do not understand the borderline worship so many in America seem to feel for her. She was nothing more to me than the World's biggest welfare Queen. Mind you, the royal family made their wealth off the backs of...

Radical left California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) wants to transform the “free state of Florida” into blue California, proudly pledging on Thursday to donate $100,000 to Rep. Charlie Crist’s (D) gubernatorial campaign. “Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor. I’m pledging $100k right now to @CharlieCrist. Who will join me in helping Charlie become the next Governor of Florida?” the Democrat governor asked:

John Fetterman, Democrat senate candidate in Pennsylvania, had a stroke and can barely speak. This is his first public speech in months. He talked for just a few minutes. There’s no way this guy has the physical ability to be a senator. Scary: pic.twitter.com/ExUkkrzKH0— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) August 15, 2022

This is likely to have an even greater effect than Bill Kristol’s endorsement of Terry McAuliffe. Rep. Liz Cheney, apparently a biologist, says that real men (not trans men?) put country over party and wear “I’m for Liz Cheney” T-shirts. One of those real men is actor and director Kevin Costner.

Multiple officers were inside Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield at 11:52 a.m. the day of the shooting, new video and other evidence shows. They didn’t enter the classroom for another 58 minutes. More soon via @statesman and @KVUE . 1/2

Any country trying to intervene in the Ukraine war will face a "lightning-fast" response, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned. "We have all the tools no-one can boast of... we will use them if necessary", he said, in what is seen as a reference to ballistic missiles and nuclear arms. Ukraine's allies have stepped up the supply of weapons, with the US vowing to make sure Ukraine defeats Russia. Western officials say Russia is being hampered in its efforts in the east. Last week, Russia launched a major offensive to seize the Donbas region after withdrawing from areas around the...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Republican senators voting against confirming Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is an example of “lame, pathetic, cowardice partisanship.” The panel was discussing Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that while he will vote against confirming Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, her confirmation will be a “high point for the country.”

California Democrat Eric Swalwell blasted the father who said, “Let’s Go, Brandon,” to Joe Biden during last week’s holiday call and said that he and the Republicans who thought the quip was funny are “indecent to the core.” The congressman who had an alleged affair with a Chinese spy for several years and inexplicably still sits on the House Intelligence and Homeland Security Committees jumped to Twitter on Christmas Day to attack the Oregon father who delivered the LGB joke during the White House holiday call.

Not bitter then, Hillary? Clinton breaks down in TEARS as she gives cringeworthy reading of the 2016 victory speech she WOULD have given if she'd beaten Trump to become the first female US President Hillary Clinton has for the first time revealed the victory speech she would have given had she won in 2016, and admitted she did not even bother to write a concession speech. Democrats were blindsided by former President Trump's win that year and Clinton spent much time blaming Russian interference for her loss.

Erykah Badu is singing the blues after unintentionally sparking Obama drama on social media. The soulful Grammy Award winner took to Twitter seeking the former first family’s forgiveness for being a "terrible guest" by posting pictures and videos of Barack Obama’s massive 60th birthday party in Martha’s Vineyard on Aug. 7. "Mr. And Mrs. Obama, Please forgive me 4 being the ‘terrible guest’ at such a sacred event for your family," Badu, 50, real name Erica Wright, tweeted Thursday. The "Window Seat" singer’s unauthorized social media posts showed the birthday boy with wife Michelle, 57, dancing mask-free among the hundreds...

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that Taco Bell will be giving away free tacos to residents who are vaccinated.

Thousands of US flags have been placed at the National Mall in honor of the nearly 200,000 Americans who were not able to be present for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. The display, which is called the 'Field of Flags,' is comprised of 191,500 US flags and 56 pillars of light. Images taken on Monday showed the flags carefully placed in rows near the US Capitol. The flags are representative of the Americans who cannot travel to Washington, DC, to attend the inauguration in person due to the coronavirus pandemic.

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement: American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories...

Officials in Honolulu have granted the developers of a luxury, oceanfront estate tied to Barack Obama a major exemption from environmental laws designed to protect Hawaii’s beaches. The shoreline permit, issued by Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting on Monday, clears the way for the controversial multimillion dollar renovation of a century-old seawall in the heavily Native Hawaiian community of Waimanalo. Under state and county laws, such projects are typically banned. Scientists and environmental experts say seawalls are the primary cause of beach loss throughout the state, and officials expect older ones to fall into obsolescence. But the property owners,...

In an effort to address economic disparities laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic, San Francisco voters have overwhelmingly approved several tax measures targeting property owners and big businesses with CEOs who are paid far more than their average workers. Under a newly approved law, any company whose top executive earns 100 times more than its average worker will pay an extra 0.1% surcharge on its annual business-tax payment. If a CEO makes 200 times more than the average employee, the surcharge increases to 0.2%, and so on per multiple of 100. "We’re not gonna shed any tears if penthouse dwellers...

I explore the now-debunked smear against President Trump by Jeffrey Goldberg and The Atlantic, and explain the reasoning behind these types of hit pieces.

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden heard from residents of Kenosha today at a community meeting. One woman stepped up to the mic and revealed that the campaign had provided her with what to say, but that she would make her own remarks. "Hello my name is Porsche Bennett," the Kenosha Black Lives Matter activist said, "and I'm just going to be honest Mr. Biden, I was told to go off this paper but I can't. You need the truth and I'm part of the truth." Earlier this summer, President Trump accused the Biden campaign of pre-screening questions, saying that Biden knew...
