Ron DeSantis’s taxpayer-funded Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern has claimed Brexit-campaigner and accredited conservative journalist Raheem Kassam (editor of this site) would be “top of the list” for deportation from the United States if the Governor of Florida were to become President in January 2025. His argument appeared to stem from the fact that Kassam does not support DeSantis for President, as well as mocking his colleagues Christina Pushaw and Brian Griffin on social media.The anti-free speech stance from one of the Governor’s official spokesmen comes as Trump announced mass deportations for illegal migrants in America, as well as Hamas and...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (TND) — A Democrat who is running to be the next governor of Florida is facing criticism after she openly compared the state's current Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., to Adolf Hitler. Appearing on NPR's Friday Roundup Podcast, Nikki Fried was asked by the show's co-host Melissa Ross to explain a tweet Fried had made in which she called DeSantis a "dictator". Ross questions Fried, hoping to clarify: “Are you comparing DeSantis to Hitler?” Ross asks. “In a lot of ways, yes,” Fried says in response. “I have studied Hitler and how he got to power, you know, wanting...

Mass insanity appears to have gripped nearly the entire nation of New Zealand, which has placed its largest city, Auckland, under its fourth lockdown requiring people to stay indoors at home (AKA "house arrest"), this time because one case of COVID was discovered (a second case followed after the lockdown was announced). The nation's leader, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, is blaming the victim for presumed rule-breaking, on the theory that the spread of a virus can be completely prevented if only people obey their leaders who are imposing radical confinement rules on them. Quote from an MP today: "It is...

Richard -- This night could not have happened 40 years ago -- or even 4 years ago. And it could not have happened without you. You believed, against the odds, that change was possible. I felt your passion here tonight, and I know it was shared by millions of Americans who are building this movement all across the country. Tonight is your night. But tonight is just the beginning. The general election is going to be faster and tougher than anything we've faced so far. And our opponents will do everything they can to tear us down. I need your...

Howard Dean talked up Democrats, talked down Republicans and went door-to-door in a Portland neighborhood on Monday to rally Democrats for the upcoming election. Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and a former Vermont governor, and Maine Gov. John Baldacci spoke to about 150 people at a breakfast fundraiser at the Italian Heritage Center before knocking on doors in a heavily Democratic Munjoy Hill neighborhood. Accompanied by a gaggle of reporters and cameras, Dean and Baldacci stopped at four houses to tout the Democratic message. One of them was owned by Jon Radtke, a high school teacher who said...

The controversial leader of the Respect Party George Galloway this week provoked a fresh wave of condemnation after he launched a stinging attack on Zionism and Israel during a radio interview in America. The MP, who this year won the Bethnal Green and Bow Parliamentary seat in a bitter contest with Labour’s Oona King, was denounced by community leaders and political peers for his comments which suggested Zionists had effectively engineered anti-semitism. During the show, broadcast on stations across the US and online Galloway declared that, “Israel and dirty tricks have a long history,” denouncing it as a “little settler...

Bob Mulholland, official spokesman for the California Democratic Party, recently referred to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s support for redistricting as a “Hitler-esque power grab.” The comment, made just days after Schwarzenegger led the annual Capitol Hanukkah celebration, was published in the Capitol Morning Report, a newsletter read religiously by political insiders and news reporters in Sacramento. Although Mulholland’s comparison of the governor and the man who slaughtered millions of innocent people surely reached the desk of every policymaker in California, only one responded. Republican Assemblyman Todd Spitzer, a board member of the Anti-Defamation League in his Orange County district, was quoted...
