Donald Trump will not pick a hardline pro-life candidate as his running mate over concerns that it would be electorally unwise, according to latest reports. NBC reported on Sunday that Trump has been asking about the positions of various potential vice-presidental picks on the issue, with particular concerns raised about Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. “The president understands it as a treacherous issue — one that you can actually trip up and fall on your face with,” said a source close to Trump. “He’s concerned it will have a drag on the ticket if they’re...

Joe Scarborough: not just a TV talking head anymore. Now, perhaps the world's greatest military strategist and oracle. On today's Morning Joe, "General" Joe repeatedly called it a "lie" that Israel needs to conduct a ground invasion of Rafah. Why? "Because that's the lie right now that you hear. Oh, if they don't go in and kill another 10,000 civilians, Hamas is going to come back to power. It is a lie. Hamas will never regain power in Gaza, ever. That's over."How many Israeli lives is Scarborough willing to bet on his prediction? Get the rest of the story and...

WASHINGTON — The White House is considering options for how to respond if Israel defies President Joe Biden’s repeated warnings against launching a military invasion of Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians, according to one former and three current U.S. officials. The discussions are taking place amid growing concern in the administration and frustration among congressional Democrats that the president’s pleas will simply be ignored. Israel this week inched closer to initiating an incursion into the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip. The Biden administration set a March 24 deadline for Israel to provide written assurance, followed...

We've been ready to crown Joe Scarborough the King of Biden Sycophants on MSNBC. But not so fast! Looks like Alicia Menendez is determined to give Scarborough some serious competition for that dubious title. On Saturday's The Weekend, the MSNBC show she co-anchors, Menendez actually expressed the hope to be like Biden when she's his age! Although, as you'll see, she cut a decade off Biden's age. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Thursday night is his first major election speech of the 2024 campaign. Yes, he’s the president and he’s giving the speech in his official capacity, not at a campaign rally. But the power of incumbency is that you get to make your pitch to the nation in front of all the major networks, with the U.S. Congress as your backdrop. There are important governing imperatives for Biden in this speech — pushing the House to take up the aid package for Ukraine and Israel passed by the Senate and laying out the framework for funding the government through the rest...

Republican Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia criticized MSNBC hosts on Wednesday for mocking voters concerned about illegal immigration. The MSNBC panel, which included hosts Jen Psaki, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow, were discussing Tuesday night exit polling including one which found that immigration was a top issue in Virginia. Several panelists mocked voters’ concerns, with one referencing West Virginia’s proximity to the state, to which Justice responded in a post on X “What an incredibly insulting statement about the hardworking, good people of West Virginia by liberal elites @JRPsaki and @Maddow,” Justice said. “Biden’s open-border policies have created a...

VIDEOIt was supposed to be the night of smug leftist glory. Donald Trump would have been in court on March 4 facing J6 charges and the following day, Super Tuesday, was supposed to be the great day of his humiliating defeat. Yes, it was all carefully planned out. What could go wrong? Well, reality for starters went wrong. The J6 trial that was supposed to affect Super Tuesday did NOT happen on March 4. In fact it now appears to be delayed to past the November election unto infinity. In addition, the Fulton County case now looks likely to be...

MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow said it is “irresponsible” of news organizations to carry former President Trump’s remarks when they know he is going to make false statements. As the network cut away from Trump’s Super Tuesday victory speech, Maddow said whether or not to provide live continuous coverage of the former president’s public remarks “is a decision that we revisit constantly.” The balance, she said, is “between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things they’ve lied about before — and you can predict they are going to lie about.” “And so, therefore, it is just irresponsible to...

Bed bugs found at MSNBC’s Manhattan headquarters caused staffers to scatter ahead of the left-leaning network’s Super Tuesday coverage, The Post has learned. According to a memo obtained by The Post, an “unidentified insect” was spotted Sunday in the recently revamped studio 3A — home to special election coverage and “The Rachel Maddow Show” — at 30 Rock in Midtown. Additional studios on the third floor “They are scrambling,” an NBC source told The Post on Monday. “They’ve already been borrowing an unused local studio for some shows in recent weeks. So studio space is tight.”were also shuttered “out of...

Talk about paranoid conspiracy theorists! On MSNBC's The Weekend on Sunday morning, leftist historian Michael Beschloss claimed the "chances are very large" that in October 2024, i.e., just before the election, Putin, China, Erdogan, etc. are "going to make a big effort to make trouble and chaos to make Joe Biden look bad."[snip] Co-anchor Michael Steele asked Beschloss to explain why Trump voters are "susceptible" to his pitch, even though he is telling them of his plans to be a "dictator." Hilariously, Beschloss blamed people's support for Trump on . . . schools! He declared that schools have stopped teaching...

Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate has become a major attraction for the world’s illiberal bigots. From Hitler-praising rapper Ye to white nationalist Nick Fuentes, the former president has shown no qualms about bringing bigots into his abode. He’s set to do so again this week, with Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán scheduled for a visit. And, frankly, I’m surprised that their little playdate isn’t raising more eyebrows. ...... In Orbán, Trump will be meeting with a leader who has proclaimed that Hungarians “are not a mixed race … and we do not want to become a mixed race.” Echoing Trump’s immigration rhetoric,...

March 3 (UPI) — This weekend’s edition of Saturday Night Live opened with a comedy sketch mocking defenders of U.S. President Joe Biden’s age, energy, and acuity. The 5-minute segment showed CNN anchor Dana Bash (played by Heidi Gardner) interviewing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (Michael Longfellow) about polls that suggest many Americans don’t think that Democrat Biden, 81, is sharp enough to lead the country for another four years if he wins re-election in November against presumptive Republican candidate and former president, Donald Trump, 77. The sketch also includes on-camera remarks from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (played by...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof stated that if you simply drop food aid into Gaza, it will be stolen by Hamas. Kristof stated, “So, one reason for the tragedy yesterday was that Israel apparently did not want to have food aid delivered through UNRWA, the U.N. organization that it has made a lot of allegations against and that may well have had twelve people participate in the October 7 attacks. It has also been reluctant to work with traditional aid agencies. And so, it apparently had contractors protected by Israeli tanks...

Political commentator Donny Deutsch said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Joe Biden and Democrats should “scare the [****] out of people” with what they think will happen during a second presidency of Donald Trump. *** He continued, “Here’s the campaign the Democrats need to run. And I’ve been thinking about this a lot. There are four people that need to step forward. Kelly, Mattis, McMaster, and Milley. And there needs to be a general campaign where these generals, who have worked with him, need to turn to the American public and turn to the camera and say, ‘You don’t...

At NewsBusters, we use the term "MSNBC Republican" to describe people who were once actual Republicans but can now be reliably counted on to criticize their supposed party and generally toe the liberal line o' the day. Michael Steele, the former RNC chairman turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, is the epitome of the kind of Biden-voter Republican MSNBC uses. Even so, his performance as co-host on the network's show The Weekend on Saturday morning could have constituted a first: an 'MSNBC Republican' rapping the Dems . . . for not being partisan enough!Get the rest of the story...

“Tom, I’ll start with you,” began Mika Brzezinski. “Why are rural white voters a threat to democracy at this point?” Fastball delivered, University of Maryland professor and co-author of just-released White Rural Rage: The Threat To American Democracy Tom Schaller took a swing. He and Mika first complained rural voters should be supporting Joe Biden, given his roots — you’d have to be pretty high to call Scranton “rural,” but whatever — then Schaller read off small town America’s charge sheet: rural whites, he said, are the most “racist,” “xenophobic,” “anti-immigrant and anti-gay,” “conspiracist,” “anti-democratic,” they “don’t believe in an...

MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade argued Monday that the United States’ “deep commitment to free speech” makes Americans uniquely susceptible to disinformation campaigns. McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor, went on “The Rachel Maddow Show” to promote her new book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.” She said her “goal” with the book was to spark a “national conversation about truth and our commitment to it.” She added, “I hope that by dissecting it, explaining it, and educating the public, we can all see disinformation for what it is so that we can begin to push back...

MSNBC contributor and former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill has been one of the most vocal voices attacking critics of Joe Biden and opposing any investigations into his family or his policies. She attacked journalists and others who spoke in favor of free speech, calling them “Putin apologists” and Putin lovers. Now she is lashing out at the media for fact checking Joe Biden’s false claims . . . any false claims. McCaskill called The New York Times “ridiculous” for a story correcting Biden’s false claims about the economy. She warned the media that they are only helping Trump by pointing...

MSNBC is sounding the alarm that President Biden "has a problem" in Michigan as a group of voters who backed him in 2020 are turning on him ahead of November. On Friday, MSNBC correspondent Yasmin Vossoughian previewed a conversation she had with Michigan Democrats who are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with Biden, specifically over his handling of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. "Biden has a problem, Alex, in Michigan with the voters that I've been speaking to," Vossoughian told MSNBC's Alex Witt. "These are all folks that voted for Biden in 2020. They have committed to voting ‘uncommitted’ in the Michigan primary next...

The media freakout over the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that embryos are people continued on Thursday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, where the MSNBC eponymous host welcomed OBGYN Jennifer Lincoln to label the state “dangerous” and claim Evangelicals are trying to kick women out of the workplace. Mitchell led Lincoln with two reasons why a woman may seek IVF treatment. The first had to do with the ramifications of certain life choices, “a lot of women are staying in the workplace longer and not having children, delaying marriage until their late 30s or 40s. For them, this can be very, very important,...
