Reports suggest that former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who left owing to his alleged role in various scandals, plans to return to the media landscape by focusing on sports. After it came out in February that Zucker was having an affair with another CNN executive, he quit immediately. After it was revealed that popular anchor Chris Cuomo was acquainted with the brother of another former employee, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), Cuomo was fired. An article in the most current issue of the Ankle newsletter claims that Gerry Cardinale, managing partner and CEO of New York-based investment firm RedBird…

Are you one of the many people dealing with financial difficulties lately? If so, you might feel a sense of relief to know that there are multiple assistance options available. The federal government offers a variety of supportive programs to help people get through hard times. These support programs take many different forms. Housing, education, healthcare, and other needs can be covered under government assistance programs for Americans and qualifying immigrants. Once you begin researching which programs you should apply for and which you actually qualify for, it can become quite tricky. To solve this problem, the government built a…
One website claims that “AOC’s purposeful isolation of AIPAC…” reveals her real colors. Experts on antisemitism have criticized New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for showing her “true colors” by attacking the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for rejecting a democratic socialist candidate in Pennsylvania. American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) advocates for positive relations between the United States and Israel. FEC documents reveal that the AIPAC-backed United Democracy Project super PAC spent $78,683 on direct mail attacking Democratic House candidate Summer Lee, an AOC-endorsed progressive running against Republican Mike Doyle in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District. As a Democrat, Doyle…
The head of the influential American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Randi Weingarten, endorsed an Atlantic demand for an “amnesty” for individuals who fought for detrimental COVID-19 regulations on Monday. As economist Emily Oster puts it, “Given the degree of uncertainty, practically every perspective was accepted on every issue,” therefore, conditions weren’t ideal for making sound policy decisions. Regardless of the subject matter, there was always a winner and a loser. When the federal government refused to gather data on the link between schools and the pandemic, Oster did it on her own, giving her a unique authority on the topic.…
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, is advocating for amnesty for the dictators of COVID. In this case, I side with @ProfEmilyOster October 31, 2022 — Randi Weingarten (@rweingarten) There’s little surprise in Weingarten’s request for forgetfulness given that she was one of the greatest offenders during the epidemic when she and others like her drove parents and teachers away from public schools in droves. As a result of her efforts on behalf of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), which led to the CDC’s decision to keep schools closed despite the health risks, student test scores…
Top oil executives have expressed concern that next winter’s energy supply may be much tighter and more expensive than this one. Even though geopolitical tensions stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threaten the energy supply, next winter has become the primary reason for anxiety, oil and gas magnates said at a conference in the United Arab Emirates. According to Vitol CEO Russell Hardy’s interview with CNBC, the company’s products available to Europe in the first half of 2023 are significantly lower than the production we had available in the first half of 2022, so “we’ve got a difficult winter ahead,…
All of Trump’s businesses have claimed innocence. Monday in New York City saw the opening statements in the criminal tax fraud trial of the Trump Organization. Tax evasion allegations against the Trump Organization have been ongoing for the past three years. The company’s top executives allegedly collected millions of dollars in remuneration that was never made public. No criminal charges or claims have been made against either former President Trump or his children. In the context of this inquiry, two companies with ties to Trump have pled not guilty to tax offenses. Following Trump’s victory as president in 2016, Assistant…
An extra week before the midterm elections on November 8, former President Barack Obama is making a last-minute trip to Arizona to campaign for Democratic candidates. On Wednesday, Obama will join Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, and U.S. Senate nominee Senator Mark Kelly in Phoenix for a Get Out the Vote Rally (D-AZ). The ceremony, which will take place at a to-be-determined site, will feature remarks from Obama, Kelly, and Hobbs. Both candidates have been steadily losing support to Republican challengers who share Trump’s endorsement. Due to Obama’s last-minute action, the 44th and 45th presidents have now entered into a…
The Biden administration has gone to unprecedented lengths to deceive the American people about gas costs before the November midterm elections, which are just around the corner. It’s been going on for a while, but President Joe Biden’s recent assertion that “the most typical price of petrol in America is $3.39” and that this is “down from nearly $5” when he began office was the most egregious example of falsehood. His comments from this past Monday showed that this pattern of gaslighting is not an isolated incident. Biden began by noting, “is a very brief remark, but an important one…
During Monday’s Supreme Court hearing on the subject of affirmative action in college admissions, Justice Clarence Thomas cast doubt on the value of racial diversity. Both Harvard and UNC have been accused by the legal advocacy group Student for Fair Admissions of “using racially and ethnically discriminatory norms and practices” in their admissions processes. The complaint claims that Asian Americans must have much better SAT and ACT scores than white candidates in order to get admission to Harvard University. Apparently, North Carolina Solicitor General Ryan Park had trouble answering a question from Justice Clarence Thomas during oral arguments because Thomas…
The Democrat-proposed new HHS position would be charged with collecting and correcting abortion-related “misinformation.” A new post at the executive level of HHS is being proposed by House Democrats to monitor and combat “misinformation” about reproductive and sexual health services, including abortion. Representative Nikema Williams (D-GA) and four other Democrats have suggested creating a new position within HHS to focus on “reproductive and sexual health.” This individual’s duties would include monitoring and correcting abortion-related “misinformation.” The official’s job is described in the text of the law as collecting data on and working to dispel “misinformation” on reproductive and sexual health.…
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases that focus on challenges to affirmative action rules at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. If successful, these cases might lead to the elimination of racial advantages in college admissions. The non-profit organization Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) is the plaintiff in both instances, arguing that the school’s affirmative action practices are biased towards Asian Americans, who would otherwise make up a bigger percentage of the student population. The Supreme Court allowed the use of affirmative action in college admissions to achieve diversity in Regents…
Robert Cahaly of Trafalgar, a famous polling organization, is the person whose work is being criticized. Trafalgar, however, has caused a commotion in the polling arena in recent elections, which was much-needed after the business delivered so many embarrassing failures after 2016. During a lengthy discussion on my radio program, Cahaly discussed the ways in which Trafalgar is different from its rivals methodologically (if you’re into political statistics, it’s interesting stuff). They have a far lower margin of error than the industry heavyweights and have properly predicted the victor in almost 92% of races. They were practically flawless in the…
If reports are to be believed, Elon Musk, Twitter’s new CEO, intends to implement a $20 monthly fee for verified accounts. According to documents and interviews released by The Verge, the “directive is to transform Twitter Blue, the company’s optional, $4.99 a month membership that unlocks more functionality, into a more costly subscription that also certifies users.” We haven’t finalized the price of the new Twitter Blue just yet, but we expect it to be about $19.99. If customers who have already been verified do not upgrade to the more costly $19.99 plan within 90 days, their verification status will…
As of right now, only five states in the United States (Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, and North Dakota) have “only citizens” regulations in place. The Republicans in Ohio are trying to get a law on the ballot this coming November 8 that would prevent noncitizens from voting in municipal elections in reaction to what they see as a push for comparable access in liberal strongholds like San Francisco and New York City. Voter turnout among Republicans in the 2018 elections might be boosted if Ohio were to join the ranks of the successful states, which would make Ohio the…
