Fox News Interview Ends Abruptly As DSA Candidate Calls Trump A Pedophile

These Democratic Socialists are nothing if not completely fearless. In this case, Oliver Larkin is running in the Democratic primary against Jared Moskowitz in FL-25, which is probably why Fox News gave Larkin a few spots this week to make his case. Larkin probably ended his appearances on that alleged news network, however, when he called Trump "this pedophile President."

Todd Blanche Shoveling Big Bucks Out The Door To Extremists

While acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is trying to shore up support for his flagging nomination to drop the "acting" from his title, he's also busy shoveling your taxpayer dollars out the door for the poor victims of weaponization by the Department of Justice. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that you just gave seven figures to Paul Vaughn, an anti-choice activist who was convicted by a jury in 2024 for conspiring to block access to an abortion clinic, which is an actual law that he broke, even though it is one that Trump doesn't believe should exist.

Nazi-enthusiast Elon Musk has decided to throw in $100 - 120 million to help Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms, including Maine Sen. Susan Collins. "The precise spending amounts could reportedly change," the Portland Press Herald says, but Musk's America PAC "is planning a field operation revolving around knocking on doors to reach voters."

Todd Blanche Declares God 'Front And Center Again' Under Trump

On top of all the other reasons Todd Blanche should never be confirmed as our nation's attorney general, he clearly wants to make the U.S. more Christian - and to heck with the First Amendment. Right Wing Watch caught Blanche on a call with the White House Faith Office Thursday night. I'm not sure which is worse: what Blanche said or the fact that he was fine with saying it publicly.

Trump Sides With Iran Over Minnesota On Cyber Attacks

There is no bottom with this creature. During yet another one of his North Korean-style so-called cabinet meetings, where Trump also took a bunch of questions from the press, Trump sided with the Iranians over the state of Minnesota when asked about the recent cyber attacks on the water supply there: Trump blames "grossly incompetent" Minnesota for cyberattacks, despite feds investigating Iran's role: Though federal authorities in his own administration are investigating Iran's role in recent cyberattacks on Minnesota's water systems, President Trump on Friday said he blames the state itself.

Trump: This Fund Isn't For Me, It's For The People Obama And Biden 'Destroyed'

Donald J. Trump is once again pushing the assertion that he and his allies were unfairly targeted by the Justice Department under Presidents Obama and Biden -- and this time, he's arguing that no group of people, "most likely," has ever been treated worse. Sure thing, buddy. Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6th to stop the peaceful transition of power at his direction. We've seen it on video. But he knows the gullibility of his base. His supporters spread feces on the walls of the Capitol, but Trump will blame Biden and/or Obama for that, too.

Clown Vivek Ramaswamy Gets Booed Off The Stage

MAGA creep Vivek Ramaswamy got no love from his home crowd during a speech at the Young Americans for Liberty conference in Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday, when he was unmercifully booed off the stage during his thirty-minute speech.
