Michael Cohen, the ex-personal attorney of former President Trump, said his former boss “should be worried” about the prosecutors, witnesses and evidence that are coming his way after a judge set his hush money trial start date. “He shouldn’t be worried about me. He should be worried about the Manhattan district attorney, the district attorney of New York prosecutors, he should be worried about the documentary evidence, he should be worried about all of the witnesses that are going to be coming into that trial simply because, as others have also appropriately put it, this is a simple case,” Cohen...

Residents in Cape Cod, Massachusetts — which, in some regions, voted more than 90 percent for President Joe Biden — are growing worried over an increasing flow of illegal immigration to their picturesque East Coast communities. In recent weeks, local elected officials in Cape Cod as well as residents have voiced concerns to Gov. Maura Healey (D) over the arrival of border crossers and illegal aliens from Haiti to their small coastal towns.

The Electoral College has successfully protected the integrity of U.S. presidential elections for more than two centuries, a record unmatched around the world. Yet the calls for getting rid of the Electoral College and switching to the popular vote have only grown louder over time. Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, there have been more than 700 congressional proposals aimed at reforming or repealing the Electoral College. Ironically, the system’s remarkable effectiveness might be precisely what makes it such an inviting target for criticism: the Electoral College has made election fraud so difficult to contemplate that it...

A few top Republican senators, critics of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, are fearful of the growing GOP primary field that appears to benefit Trump’s nomination chances.The 2024 primary field grew to seven candidates with the most recent entrance of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) but could swell to about ten candidates in the coming weeks, triggering Republican senators to worry about a rerun of the 2016 primary when the large field of candidates failed to establish enough support to overcome Trump’s solid share of the electorate to cruise to the nomination.Before DeSantis entered the race on May 24,...

I’ve been there.” She continued, “What we heard there and what you saw on the screen is similar to a lot the conversations Democrats are having behind the scenes and a lot of people I talked to as well. People...

President Biden on Thursday said he’s concerned about the fate of aid for Ukraine if Republicans win control of Congress after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) signaled the party would not provide a “blank check” for Ukrainians. “I am worried about it because they said they would cut it,” Biden told reporters during a stop in Pittsburgh. McCarthy told Punchbowl News earlier this week that House Republicans will not write “a blank check” to Ukraine if they take control of the lower chamber next year. “I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” CNN’s Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger stated that President Joe Biden is talking about abortion because he “doesn’t want this election to be about the things that people are so worried about, inflation and the economy.” Borger stated, “I think what the President was trying to do today is remind people, as he put it, how they felt the day of the Dobbs decision. He was trying to make it front and center because we know that when it was front and center, there was a huge reaction to it. And he’s also...

Speaking with co-anchor of CNN’s Newsroom Victor Blackwell, CNN political analyst Michael Smerconish called out Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Fetterman for relying heavily on media while investing little in live appearances before crowds, saying that “in the end, I think he’s going to have to come out and play.”

Most Americans are not worried at all or not too worried about contracting the Chinese coronavirus, even as public health officials warn of a “resurgence” this fall, a poll from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked respondents, “Taking into consideration both your risk of contracting it and the seriousness of the illness, how worried are you personally about experiencing COVID-19?

When it finally dawned on Donald Trump in the twilight of his presidency that he wouldn’t be living in the White House for another four years, he had a problem: he had barely packed and had to move out quickly. West Wing aides and government movers frantically tossed documents and other items into banker boxes that were shipped to a storage room at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida along with other, previously packed records set aside by Trump, sometimes erratically so, according to two sources with knowledge of Trump’s move and records issues.

A subvariant of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, known as BA2, has arrived in Israel and 20 cases of it have already been detected in the country, Kan 11 News reported on Thursday. According to the report, BA2 is currently known to have even more mutations than the original Omicron, and as such, some scientists around the world have speculated that it may be more violent. However, at the moment this is only a hypothesis, and it is important to note that there is no absolute certainty and knowledge about this. The subspecies was first seen in China a few...

Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them. “Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.” Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani....

​President Biden tried to downplay his tanking poll numbers and poor performances by Democrats in last week’s elections Monday — though he acknowledged that “people are worried.” “Well, look, the poll I saw just before I walked in, on another station, was my polling number is down, but it’s 48​ percent to 52​ percent,” the president said in an interview with ​WKRC-TV in Cincinnati. ​”But look, the point is, I didn’t run because of the polls​.” Biden spoke hours after the release of a USA Today/Suffolk University poll that found his approval rating had sunk to 37.8 percent, while his...

Claim: “There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation is on the way. No serious economist,” President Joe Biden said on Monday. Larry Summers is worried about inflation. He has been the Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama, chief economist of the World Bank, and president of Harvard University. He is one of the most prominent economists in the United States today. Summers has been warning that the Biden administration’s policies risked inflation and overheating several months ago, a topic he returned to on Twitter last week.

In an interview this week with Never Trumper Bill Kristol, (put that fact aside), Democratic strategist James Carville expressed concern that the Democratic Party is doing harm to itself with its radical social justice agenda.

Looking ahead to the 2022 election, Carville was not overly optimistic.

Obama aide talks about gathering intelligence on trump aides starting after 5 minutes. She says "That's why you have leaking...People are WORRIED."

As I write this on October 13th, the long suspected “rigged” polls have Clinton winning. And the new, unverified Clinton launched allegations that Trump – unlike the serial SEXUAL ATTACKER Bill Clinton – was a serial “sexual advancer” may drive his numbers still lower. At this point in the dirtiest campaign in my lifetime, I have a few questions each of us should answer. To keep this short, I'll not detail the long, long list of what, to decent people, SHOULD BE morally reprehensible and criminal acts committed by this deceitful, duplicitous and dissembling duo about which – no thanks...

Once carried like a conquering hero, President Obama is now pleading with donors for help to push his agenda, having to convince them that his record is something that should wow them. "Do you still have my back?" Obama asks in a new letter to donors and contributors. "You should be proud of what we have been able to accomplish together," he argues. "Can I count on you?" The president's note is to those who supported him in the past. "I would not be here today without you. You have been an essential partner in everything we have accomplished." The...
