ALM BEACH, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that years ago when he was a U.S. senator that now-President Joe Biden was regarded by then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and his colleagues as the “dumbest” person in the U.S. Senate. Trump was explaining how Biden is a “very vicious guy” surrounded by “vicious people,” but also noted that Biden is “not smart at all.” “I ran against him. I got far more votes than I did the first time. I feel I know him very well,” Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive more-than-two-hour-long interview at Mar-a-Lago...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she believed Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) hold on military promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policy showed him to be “one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the earth.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “How do you fix this and get the military back to readiness, back to functional?”

Democrats are betting that President Biden and Vice President Harris can put Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman over the top despite a faltering debate performance that has operatives more worried than ever they could lose the pivotal race. Biden and Harris will head to Philadelphia to campaign together on Friday, a rare occurrence for the duo who typically don’t travel alongside one another. With less than two weeks till Election Day, Biden and Harris are set to participate in a reception for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

President Trump: Despite everything the failed ruling class has thrown at us — and don’t forget, when I came here, I didn’t have great experience. I mean, I learned quickly. I’ve been a very good spokesman. … But we went through eight years of Clinton, eight years of Bush, eight years of Obama. So we have Bush and Clinton and Obama. So, that’s 24 years. That’s a lot of people they put in. They put in. They put in. It’s thousands and thousands of people, and they fight you. And we have Republicans, frankly, that are worse. These Never Trumpers....

Not even a Democratic debate could distract the leftist late-night loon Stephen Colbert from trashing on President Trump late Tuesday night. Colbert welcomed Jeff Daniels on The Late Show where he became the latest in a series of actors on the program to make a vile comment towards the President, including the hope that Trump’s opponent can “punch him in the face.” What better way to discuss Daniels role in the play rendition of How to Kill a Mockingbird than by stoking racial animus? This was surly the thought roaming in Colbert’s head when he posed this question to Daniels:...

Actor Jim Carrey's latest tweet took a shot at Alabama's new abortion law, but it seemed to backfire, drawing praise from pro-lifers instead. The "Dumb and Dumber" star tweeted an image Saturday of his artwork depicting Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who signed one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the nation, as a fully formed preborn baby being aborted from the womb. "I think If (sic) you're going to terminate a pregnancy, it should be done sometime before the fetus becomes Governor of Alabama," Carrey wrote. The politically charged depiction garnered some unlikely responses from the right. "Thank you for...

In order to rank the dumbest cities in America, we had to look at which cities have the highest high school dropout rates as well as which cities have low college graduation rates. This is a pretty good indication of where people live who don't have educational backgrounds. Additionally, we measured how many libraries are in each city, as a ratio versus number of places to party.

Full Title: Whoops! College student who 'secretly' deflated neighbor's tires in argument over a parking spot - leaves aggressive note on the back of a letter with his name and contact info It was a very bad day for one college student. Not only had he received a D from his English professor - he also found himself being shamed online after his plan to secretly get revenge on a neighbor for allegedly stealing his parking spot went awry when he inadvertently revealed his identity and his contact information by writing an angry note on the back of a typed...

What a shock. The dumbest website on the internet Media Matters defended Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa’s profanity-laced threatening speech against conservatives today. Media Matters insisted that Hoffa’s remarks were taken out of context. Uh-huh. And, here is the transcript: “We like a good fight. And you know what, they got a war and they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner and it’s going to be the workers of Michigan and America. We’re going to win that war. All the way. But it starts with your involvement. It starts with next November. We got...

TALLAHASSEE -- It appears Florida is getting an early Christmas present - more cash to build its high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando. U.S. Senator Bill Nelson said Thursday the U.S. Department of Transportation is sending the state $342 million for construction of the planned rail route. Word of the windfall came today from Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood during a noontime phone call with Nelson. The call came on the heels of reports that the transportation agency intended to give to Florida another huge chunk of high-speed rail money because Wisconsin and Ohio didn't want it. The newly-elected governors...

A man being booked into the Manatee County jail for violating his supervised release on a DUI charge, was slapped with another charge last week when drugs fell out of his pants. Jason Graham, 33, of Venice, was changing into his blue jail uniform on June 30 when a supervising deputy said he heard a rubber band snap as Graham pulled his pants up. A white object with a rubber band attached to it then fell out of his pants. “It is apparent that Graham had this package secured around his genital area and it popped off during the changing...

Loudmouth CEOs, islands in the desert and bringing dead celebrities back to life. Our annual list of the business world's bonehead plays marches on.[]Trading GM's Worthless StockGM couldn't sell enough cars to keep out of bankruptcy, but plenty of its worthless stock sure got sold afterwards.The old version of the company, now known as Motors Liquidation, was left with GM's debt, unwanted plants and dealerships, and its old shares, which trade under the symbol MTLQQ for about 60 cents apiece.Oddly enough, investor demand has been brisk even though GM and the Securities and Exchange Commission have warned that the shares...

NAPLES — Unhappy about being asked to leave a local watering hole, Naples police say a 21-year-old man took revenge: He unzipped his pants and urinated at the bar. But if his mugshot is any indicator, the rest of his plan didn’t go so swell. Police say that on Wednesday night Graham Brunson, 2060 20th Ave. N.E., was causing a disturbance at the Bayfront Inn, 495 Goodlette-Frank Road, yelling obscenities and disturbing customers at the bar, according to an arrest report. When security asked him to leave, reports say Brunson unzipped his pants and urinated at the bar. When...

I am beginning to believe that the fly-over of NY City yesterday was probably to impress a few special people on board. Could it have been Michelle taking herself and friends on a midday jaunt? I bet if the passenger list is made public this story will get very interesting. Sorry for the vanity.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – A retired police chief said he was robbed by "probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania," at a police officers' convention on Friday morning.

With his soft voice and unassuming manner, Mark Bauerlein seems an unlikely prospect for penning an ostentatious book like The Dumbest Generation. The title immediately brings to mind the Greatest Generation, the idol of 20th century American history that weathered the Great Depression, beat the Nazis at Normandy, and brought us swing music. But the generation that Bauerlein writes of is very different. Ignorant of politics and government, art and music, prose and poetry, the Dumbest Generation is content to turn up its iPods and tune out the realities of the adult world. It is brash, pampered, young, and dumb...

McALLEN - A woman accused of robbing two banks this month gave investigators a vital clue to her identity Monday, when she passed a threatening note to a teller with her name and address on the back. Investigators believe Maria Garcia, 33, scrawled the hold-up message on the back of a completed food stamp application moments before entering the Capital One Bank branch in downtown McAllen and making off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Officers arrested her less than two hours later by tracking her to the address on the form. They also linked her to a similar robbery...
