According to TechCrunch, the New York Post claims it was the target of a major hack on Thursday when offensive articles and tweets were published on its website and Twitter account. After being posted, all tweets and articles were swiftly deleted because they were racist, sexually aggressive, and included murder threats against politicians. According to CNBC, the Post has published a statement indicating that an employee was responsible for the hack: “The New York Post’s investigation indicates that an employee carried out the illegal behavior, and we are taking the appropriate measures.” A company official verified to TechCrunch that The…

We have seen the footage and read the messy transcript from the U.S. Senate Debate between Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night. Most people will also have heard the Fetterman campaign’s ridiculous spin, in which they claim the Democrat scored better than expected despite “delayed captions” (which, once again, Fetterman requested due to auditory processing challenges coming from his stroke) that were “full with mistakes.” But now the Oz team is calling Fetterman on his bluff, proposing a second debate in the last week of the midterm election with a captioner chosen by Fetterman and his…
Steven Shepard of Politico downgraded the Arizona U.S. Senate race from “leans Democrat” to “toss-up” on Wednesday, with less than two weeks until the election. In recent weeks, Republican Blake Masters has surged in the polls as voters approve of the party’s positions on important topics such as immigration, inflation, and crime. According to Politico, the outstanding performance of veteran television news journalist Kari Lake for the Republican party in Arizona’s governor race has aided Masters’ campaign. Masters is running for office to displace incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (a Democrat). After being elected to fill the seat in a special…
The two House members have agreed to attend together at a next week’s event, despite their political differences. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI-7) has received the endorsement of her Republican opponent, Rep. Liz Cheney. As a prominent opponent of former President Donald Trump and a member of the Democrat-led January 6 group, Cheney has been at odds with a large percentage of her own party. This is the first time she has endorsed a Democrat in a midterm election. Though they disagree on many issues, Cheney lauded Slotkin’s character in a statement released on his campaign website. “For this reason, I…
A new story claims that New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is once again the subject of a federal probe. Southern District of New York prosecutors “have submitted at least one subpoena in the case,” according to a report by Kadia Goba of the new digital media platform Semafor. According to reports, the prosecutor’s inquiry was inspired by circumstances comparable to those in a 2015 U.S. DOJ bringing charges of conspiracy and bribery against Menendez and Democratic donor Salomon Melgen. Charges against Menendez and Melgen were eventually dismissed by federal prosecutors. After “its embarrassing public failure to convict him,” Goba…
Donald Trump could view Ron DeSantis as a formidable opponent in the 2024 election. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has welcomed former President Trump to a campaign event, but extremely popular Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has not been invited. On Wednesday, Trump said the event would take place on November 6, but he failed to include DeSantis. Politico reported on Thursday that Trump’s aides stated the governor would not be attending. If both Trump and DeSantis decide to run for president in the 2024 Republican primary, the former is considered the more formidable candidate. Fox News Digital’s inquiries for comment from…
The campaign for Democratic governor candidate Katie Hobbs in Arizona has blamed Lake, who is endorsed by the Republican Party, for “spreading harmful falsehoods and instigating threats” after a break-in at their headquarters earlier this week. According to the campaign manager Nicole DeMont’s Twitter post, Secretary Hobbs and her team have received “hundreds” of death threats and other violent threats. Let there be no doubt: Kari Lake and her supporters have spent the better two years spreading harmful falsehoods and instigating threats against anybody they like. “Arizonans attempting to exercise their constitutional rights have been threatened, and elected officials have…
Hochul questioned Zeldin’s “importance” for raising the issue of a crime. Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for governor, and Kathy Hochul, the current Democratic governor, sparred over crime and violence in New York during a televised discussion on Tuesday night. At the outset of the discussion, Zeldin said that New York was “in a crisis” under Hochul’s leadership and lambasted the mayor’s policies, including cashless bail and soft-on-crime approaches, for adding to New Yorkers’ sense of insecurity. “It’s imperative that public spaces be made secure once more. My unwavering support for law enforcement and my desire to reclaim our streets…
During Tuesday night’s debate, Republican New York State Representative Lee Zeldin pressed New York Governor Kathy Hochul on her stance on cash bail reform and her unwillingness to accept putting up criminals. And what does Hochul think? What’s the big deal? Hochul replied to Zeldin, “Anyone who commits a crime under our regulations, especially with the alteration we made to bail, has implications,” as they neared the midway point of their discussion. Why would you even care about that? RealClearPolitics currently classifies the election for governor in traditionally blue New York as a tossup since Zeldin has narrowed Hochul’s advantage…
John Fetterman and the quiet town he brags about revitalizing are both sick. On the weekend, I went for a walk around the quiet streets of Braddock, Pennsylvania, a little town not far from Pittsburgh, where the Democratic candidate served as mayor for nearly ten years and was much admired for his progressive policies. While in town, I spoke with a few residents and government officials about Fetterman, the self-proclaimed savior of the steel town who is currently vying for a Senate seat. The first thing I saw as I traveled through Braddock was the scarcity of Fetterman signage. After…
In the wake of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s (PA) disastrous performance in Tuesday night’s debate, social media was ablaze with commentary from all sides of the political spectrum. After suffering a stroke earlier this year, Fetterman has been subject to questions about his ability to fulfill the duties of his office. He has shown that he has trouble understanding words and has trouble speaking, and he frequently needs conversations to be transcribed so that he can follow along. The Democratic nominee called the Republican nominee a liar, while the Republican nominee called the Democratic nominee a radical leftist…
Axne and Cartwright, according to the NRCC, are campaigning with Biden because “they vote for everything he wants.” On Wednesday, less than two weeks before the 2022 midterm elections, President Joe Biden will make three virtual appearances at campaign events to support some of the most vulnerable Democratic candidates running for the House. On Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m., Biden will make his first public appearance at a virtual event hosted by Democratic Pennsylvania Representative Matt Cartwright. To represent Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, Democrat Matt Cartwright will have a tough rematch against Republican Jim Bognet, whom he defeated in the…

Over 50 individuals were shot over the weekend in Chicago, the city of Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot (11 of them were killed). Lightfoot has recommended a raise for herself as a reward for the excellent job she has done in maintaining public safety. According to the draft law, Lightfoot would be eligible for a yearly inflation hike of up to five percent. Her present yearly pay of $209,915 is set to increase to $216,210 come May 2023, according to the ordinance. In addition, Lightfoot’s compensation would increase by five percent for each year she serves as mayor. If the pay…
Washington is a very blue state, but new polls show that Republicans may be able to win back the Senate seat that they last had in 2001, despite the fact that Democrats have thrown millions of dollars into the election. Senate Majority Leader Pat Murray, a Democrat, is running for reelection against political novice and Republican Tiffany Smiley. A total of nearly $17 million has been spent on this election by Murray’s campaign, according to the Seattle Times, while over $10 million has been spent by Smiley’s. On Monday, a survey was released by Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group,…
