A new biography claims that Vice President Kamala Harris, who was once thought to be President Joe Biden’s likely successor, is having trouble getting along with the Biden family and important aides. Political journalist Charlie Spiering’s book “Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House” describes in detail how Harris has been sidelined under the Biden administration.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has launched a groundbreaking lawsuit against 17 Texas-based bus companies, claiming over $700 million in damages. This legal move, announced on Thursday, comes as a counteraction to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s policy of sending migrants to New York, which, according to Adams, aims to strain the city’s social welfare system. The lawsuit contends that these companies have breached New York state regulations by failing to assume responsibility for the migrants’ welfare. Under state law, entities bringing “needy persons” from outside into New York with the intent of making them reliant on public support must…
In a recent interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort, former President Donald Trump shared his perspective on the ongoing legal battle with Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump suggested that Smith might feel politically defeated due to the recent increase in legal activity surrounding the cases against him. Leading in the polls, Trump attributed his popularity to public discontent regarding what he perceives as the misuse of the Justice Department against a political opponent. He criticized the current administration for its approach to using federal agencies against political adversaries, likening the U.S. to a “weaponized” nation that is losing respect on the…
On Wednesday, the California State Assembly’s inaugural session was abruptly halted due to a protest by a coalition of groups opposing Israel’s actions in the Israel-Hamas conflict. These groups, identifying as Jewish but considered by some as part of a more extreme segment of the American Jewish community, advocated for a ceasefire. The protest started at 1:30 p.m., with members from these anti-war Jewish organizations occupying the Rotunda and Assembly gallery. Their actions included chanting, singing, and displaying banners, coinciding with lawmakers returning to Sacramento from a break. This demonstration elicited mixed reactions from the Assembly members, with some choosing…
Recently unsealed federal court documents have named over 150 of the acquaintances of the late, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, some of whom are already well-known. The materials became public after a December Manhattan federal judge Loretta Pleska’s decision. The unsealing of these documents boosted traffic to the hosting website and caused a momentary crash. The documents also accuse Epstein and mention former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, neither of whom is facing any criminal charges. The allusion to Trump in the documents is rather innocuous; it comes from an unofficial remark Epstein made when visiting Trump’s property in Atlantic…
In an effort to block Alabama’s plan to carry out the country’s first nitrogen gas execution, the UN Human Rights Council has stepped in. Kenneth Eugene Smith, an inmate, is set to be executed on January 25. Smith was found guilty of killing Elizabeth Sennett in 1988 in Jefferson County, Alabama, for hire. Concerns over the use of nitrogen gas have been voiced by UN specialists Morris Tidball-Binz, Alice Jill Edwards, Tlaeng Mofokeng, and Margaret Satterthwaite, who claim there is no proof that the gas would not cause a painful and humiliating death. They argue that the United Nations Convention…
The FBI was allegedly prevented from looking into the Clinton Foundation in 2016 by Ray Hulser, a senior prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team, even though there were Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) pertaining to substantial international transactions. Hulser, who oversaw the Public Integrity Section (PIN) of the DOJ as its chief at the time, is presently assisting in the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The Special Counsel John Durham report states that the FBI began looking into the Clinton Foundation in January 2016 as a result of financial and intelligence inputs indicating possible criminal conduct. Allegations of a…
Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, has expressed concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court might rule against the former president in cases related to his eligibility to appear on state ballots for the 2024 election. In an interview with Fox News, Habba revealed that Trump is apprehensive about the possibility of an unfavorable ruling, despite his role in appointing three of the nine Supreme Court justices during his presidency. Habba’s comments came after Trump’s legal team filed an appeal with the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court decision that removed him from the state’s ballot. The Colorado court’s…
Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker and current Democratic congresswoman representing San Francisco, achieved a remarkable 65% return on her stock portfolio in 2023, significantly outperforming the S&P 500’s 24% gain. This financial success, as reported by stock-trading data site Unusual Whales, was largely attributed to her strategic use of stock options. Pelosi’s investment approach, which involves leveraging stock options for greater exposure and potential rewards, has placed her among the top-performing investors on Capitol Hill. This method, while legal, has raised ethical concerns among watchdogs who suggest it could indicate access to insider information. Other members of Congress have…
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently garnered attention for his response to a Washington Post reporter’s question about condemning “White supremacy and White nationalism.” During a campaign event in Iowa, Ramaswamy was asked if he condemns these ideologies, to which he replied affirmatively but criticized the underlying presumption of the question. Ramaswamy argued that the real issue of racial discrimination in the U.S. today is not rooted in White supremacy but rather in institutionalized forms such as affirmative action, which he views as a form of racial discrimination based on skin color. He expressed his frustration with the media’s framing…

Just hours before the city’s new mayor and police commissioner were scheduled to enter office, John Stanford, the acting police commissioner at the time, made one of his last decisions. Marant, who started working there in April 2022, was told she was fired on Tuesday morning at a meeting. The choice was connected to a reorganization scheme by newly appointed Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. Although the agency stated that Marant’s replacement will be…
David Plouffe, a former campaign manager for President Obama, has suggested a strategic move for liberal voters in the upcoming primary elections: supporting Nikki Haley to potentially disrupt former President Donald Trump’s bid for the presidency. Speaking on MSNBC, Plouffe acknowledged that while the idea might be distasteful for some, it could be an effective tactical maneuver for those willing to consider it. Plouffe explained that if Haley could secure a win in the New Hampshire primary or narrow the race to a two-person contest, she could capitalize on the segment of Republicans seeking an alternative to Trump, who remains…
The legal representatives of ex-President Donald Trump have initiated a notable legal action against Special Counsel Jack Smith. The motion alleges that Smith defied a court-ordered stay in the ongoing probe into the 2020 election, resulting in a contempt of court claim. Amidst this, Trump’s trial is temporarily halted as his lawyers seek to reinforce his presidential immunity. John Lauro, Trump’s attorney, contends that Smith’s team disregarded the stay order by submitting extensive additional documents and a preliminary exhibit list, contravening the clear directive to pause substantive legal proceedings.
