    Two Chicago journalists reported that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has become so "stressed out" that he was hospitalized for panic attacks. John Kass and Anita Padilla broke the news on WGN-AM's Chicago Way Podcast on January 16, saying that Johnson needed medical help due to increasing stress. They were talking about the illegal immigrant problem on air when Kass said "No amount of anti-depressants can cure him of this problem." "I know, it's so true," Padilla said. "And you know, I actually, you brought it up, I was gonna bring it up." "The panic attacks?" Kass asked. "The mayor's panic...

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden. “I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.” A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border...

    Former Vice President Mike Pence didn't parse words when reacting to former President Donald Trump's indictment by Special Counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday. In a statement released following Trump's indictment on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Pence accused Trump of putting himself over the Constitution, and said a Trump candidacy would serve as a distraction from President Biden's "disastrous" record. "Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States," Pence said. "I...

    A Minnesota police chief was forced to apologize for posting an image of a 'thin blue line' flag to his department's Facebook page last week, after community members aired complaints labeling the symbol a representation of 'extremist views.' The flag, a black and white rendition of the American flag with a blue stripe running just under the stars, represents men and women in blue standing as a line between law and order. However, more recently, the symbol has been deemed divisive by some, as its meaning has shifted from one of nonpartisan support to one synonymous with the far-right

    Former President Donald Trump on Friday offered his first public comments since the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol began to reveal the extent of his attempts to remain in power. The committee has presented harrowing video footage and searing testimony, including accounts from Trump's close associates and members of his family. Trump called the hours of testimony — in over three days of hearings so far — "a complete and total lie." He spent much of his speech blasting the committee's efforts as politically motivated, and insisting he'd done nothing wrong.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has gone into isolation for five days after coming into contact with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19. Trudeau tweeted he learned of the contact on Wednesday night. He took a rapid test which came back negative but said he will isolate for five days to follow health guidelines. “I feel fine and will be working from home,” he tweeted. “Stay safe, everyone — and please get vaccinated.” That means Trudeau will not be around Monday for the reopening of Parliament after its Christmas break. Thousands of truckers were also expected to be...

    On Jan. 6 last year, Rep. Dan Kildee was asked to defend the 2020 presidential election results from his home state of Michigan. Although there had been recounts, investigations and court cases, several Republican members of Congress were planning to object and refuse to certify results from key states that showed Joe Biden had overwhelmingly won.Over the last several months, Kildee has been outspoken about the experience he had during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and what he has had to deal with since.“This was one of the most traumatic things I’ve been through,” he told ABC News.

    Admits not everything has gone according to plan since he took office President Joe Biden admitted Friday that not everything has gone according to plan since he took office, but he insisted that everyone else was to blame -- especially former President Donald Trump. Biden spoke at the White House Friday and said that it was unfair to criticize him for the debacle in Afghanistan or anything else that might come to mind.

    Vindman: 'Direct logic link' to Trump being acquitted during first impeachment and the coronavirus pandemic Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a witness during the Trump impeachment proceedings, claimed on MSNBC the former president is responsible for over 600,000 COVID deaths in America that would have been prevented if he was removed from office. "If the president was held accountable and removed, we would have 600,000 more Americans walking the streets today. If they censured him, the president would have been on his heels, and he probably would have been more cautious going into COVID. We wouldn’t...

    House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has defended Mike Pence after the former Vice President was booed and called a 'traitor' at a Faith & Freedom Coalition event in Orlando Friday. McCarthy appeared on Fox News on Friday evening and defended Pence after he was heckled by the crowd at the 'Road to Majority'-themed event. 'It is great to be back with so many patriots. Dedicated to faith and freedom and the road to the majority,' Pence had said. As he began thanking Ralph Reed, the head of the Faith & Freedom coalition, he was met with boos and people loudly...

    When John Cena starts making apologies to the Chinese Communist Party, you know it’s time for him to tap out. On Tuesday, the pro wrestler and star of “F9,” the latest “Fast and Furious” flick, managed to look like a fool stuck in a bad scissor hold as he publicly confessed to thought crimes by referring to Taiwan as a country during film promo interviews. “I made a mistake,” Cena said in Mandarin on Weibo, China’s popular social-media platform. “Now I have to say one thing which is very, very, very important: I love and respect China and Chinese people....

    Dominic Cummings arrived home with a bottle of champagne tonight after Boris Johnson ordered him to leave Downing Street for good. After a week of turmoil, the Prime Minister told his most senior adviser to go with immediate effect in a bid to end the toxic rows at No 10. Lee Cain, who announced his resignation as Mr Johnson's director of communications on Wednesday after Carrie Symonds thwarted his promotion to chief of staff, was also sent home. It was claimed last night that Mr Johnson had accused the pair of Vote Leave campaign veterans of briefing against his fiancée....

    There were renewed doubts over Boris Johnson's future in No10 today as he bid to 'reset' his government after Dominic Cummings signalled he will quit - having apparently lost an extraordinary power struggle with Carrie Symonds. The maverick chief aide is set to leave Downing Street by Christmas after a brutal reckoning that saw his closest ally Lee Cain fall on his sword, having failed to secure the key role of Mr Johnson's chief of staff. The developments mark the end of the Vote Leave clique's iron grip on government, which has been the subject of a mounting backlash from...

    Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley on Thursday apologized for accompanying President Donald Trump on his walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church earlier June. “My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics,” Milley told National Defense University graduates in a pre-recorded speech. “As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from, and I sincerely hope we all can learn from it.” Milley, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and Attorney General William Barr accompanied President Trump to Lafayette Square after protesters were cleared from...

    Suddenly, every major network converted to broadcasting from home, as every anchor fell under the watchful critiques of the Room Rater. Katy Tur’s broad smile could barely fit in the basement headquarters of Broadcasting Central for the couple, as she described being “so privileged” to be the subject of her husband's “Sunday Morning” assignment. Tur was the first to launch basement broadcasts, but the ever-alert and sprightly journalist was a pronounced presence while she was embedded with the Trump presidential campaign. Katy Tur was “the one” who called out the candidate openly and on record for seeking the Russian release...

    2020 White House hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced Friday that she now supports an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump over his phone call with the leader of Ukraine after affirming this week that the conversation fails to make a “compelling” case to oust the president. “Up to this point, I have been opposed to pursuing impeachment because it will further divide our already badly divided country,” Gabbard said in a statement. “However, after looking carefully at the transcript of the conversation with Ukraine’s President, the whistleblower complaint, the Inspector General memo, and President Trump’s comments about the issue,...
