 Daily Signal: ... This is obviously a rehabilitation campaign, an attempt by Harris to put herself back in the news and make the case that she’s a credible front-runner for the 2028 Democrat presidential nomination. But given how the book tour has been going already, it couldn’t be clearer that Harris is lacking the skillset to win a competitive election. Her only real political talent appears to be in navigating the Byzantine identity machine politics of the DEI-obsessed Democratic Party. And she couldn’t even pull that off. This was all on display in Harris’ disastrous interview with friendly MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. Few politicians that I can remember have been better at flubbing softball interviews . Harris delivered a series of trademark word salads to questions that she presumably had months to prepare for. One of the tougher questions she faced was about a comment in her book that while she liked former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, she didn’t pick him as her ve...

 Blaze: The Department of Homeland Security announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement put a detainer on an illegal alien who is being charged with strangling his baby sister with a charging cord in Northern Virginia. The DHS explained that Alvaro Mejia-Ayala entered the U.S. as part of a family unit in 2016 and was released into the country by the Obama administration. On October 17, 2024, the Biden-Harris administration dismissed his immigration case, effectively allowing him to indefinitely remain in the U.S. illegally. Mejia-Ayala was previously arrested by local police for reckless driving in 2024, but he was released before ICE could lodge a detainer on him. "What kind of sick monster strangles a defenseless, innocent baby girl with a charging cord? This barbarism has no place in the U.S.," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement given to Blaze News. "ICE lodged an immigration detainer to ensure this heinous criminal is not released on...

 Federalist  Wire: ... In the shadowy corridors of the Biden White House, a former insider has blown the lid off a toxic environment dominated by ruthless cliques and backstabbing enforcers. Michael LaRosa, who once served as Jill Biden’s spokesman, unleashed a fiery takedown in a Fox News op-ed, painting a picture of a “cult” where loyalty was enforced with an iron fist and bullies ran the show unchecked. LaRosa didn’t hold back, calling out the “Biden Bubble” as a breeding ground for intimidation tactics that kept everyone in line. He pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s upcoming book as the spark that finally ignited public scrutiny of this mess. “Harris’s forthcoming book, according to recently released excerpts, says what insiders whispered for years: the Biden bubble was full of bullies,” LaRosa stated. He also said that Harris was “finally saying the quiet part out loud.” Drawing a sharp pop culture parallel, LaRosa likened the inner circle to high school tyrants. ...

 NY Times: Paramount to Pay Trump $16 Million to Settle ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit The company has agreed to settle President Trump’s lawsuit over the editing of an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major media organization. Trump challenged the truthfulness of the interview. 

  Jesse Watters @JesseBWatters · 4h We thought Democrats hit rock bottom when @JoeBiden got couped, then we thought maybe @KamalaHarris ’s landslide loss was as bad as it could get, but 100 days after Inauguration Day, we don’t know how deep this hole goes because day after day — they keep digging. Democrats spray hoaxes at Trump with a fire hose — he stays dry. Every week they have a new flavor: eggs, tariffs, shadow president, constitutional crisis — none of it sticks. Tampon @Tim_Walz is stuck in the past too. The country voted to get rid of DEI and he wants to give it mouth to mouth. Democrats are out of fresh ideas, so Congressman @ShriThanedar  is impeaching 47. The more we learn about Shri; the weirder it gets. Shri owned a pharmaceutical lab that ran tests on dogs and monkeys. A whistleblower accused him of hiding that some of the “herbal supplements” he tested were spiked with Viagra. His company went bankrupt and over 100 beagles were stranded inside a lab. Shri’s ...

 Red State: NY Times Editorial Board Thinks Democrats Went Too Far Left in 2024 ...   One of their most ludicrous suggestions is that the Dems admit they   lied about   struggled with the issue of Biden's obvious deterioration. "They should admit that their party mishandled Mr. Biden’s age," the legacy outlet argued. Of course, the Grey Lady was all-in on dismissing Biden’s cognitive abilities—memo: it wasn’t his “age” that was the problem, NYT—and trying to convince us that Kamala Harris was the bestest candidate ever. They’ve been preaching to their “elite” readership for decades about the virtues of leftism, so much so that they’ve forgotten where the center even is. To pretend they’re not part of the problem is nauseating. It reminds me of another story I wrote up recently: the stomach turning interview that California Gavin Newsom held with Times opinion writer Ezra Klein in which they both seemed to think that the red tape, over-regulation and horrific policies...

 DC Daily Journal: ... During a press conference in the Oval Office on Friday, President Donald Trump pointed fingers at Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, asserting that Walz played a significant role in former Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in the November election. Trump’s comments came in response to a question from Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who brought up remarks Walz made earlier in the week on the program This is Gavin Newsom. In that appearance, Walz boasted, “I feel I could kick most of their *ss,” a statement Doocy interpreted as directed at Trump supporters. Trump seized on the comment, suggesting that Walz would find himself in deep water if he ever had to face off against his supporters. “Well, he’s a loser, you know? I mean, the guy’s a loser. He lost an election. He played a part. You know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part, they say,” Trump said. “I think Tim played a part. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hur...

  DC Daily Journal: Former President Joe Biden, now 82, and First Lady Jill reportedly huddled with Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin last month, floating a plan to thrust themselves back into the limelight. According to NBC News, the couple pitched a revamped campaign push to lift the Democrats’ sagging image and replenish their coffers—a move that left ex-aides and party operatives reeling on Friday. With public support for Democrats tanking—recent polls show fewer than one-third of Americans approve of the party’s performance since Trump’s January 20 return—the timing of Biden’s offer has sparked disbelief. “The Bidens are still living in an alternative universe that revolves only around them,” a former senior White House adviser told the New York Post, reacting to the NBC report. This insider didn’t hold back, pinning the party’s current woes on Biden’s tenure. “Their irresponsibility, family ego and selfishness put the Democratic Party in this position in the f...

  PJ Media: Vice President JD Vance didn’t hold back when discussing how he approaches the job differently than his predecessor, Kamala Harris. In an interview with radio host Vince Coglianese, Vance took a direct swipe at Harris. “How are you doing the job differently than Kamala did it?” asked Coglianese, who has taken over hosting duties from Dan Bongino, who is now serving as Deputy Director of the FBI. With a laugh, Vance replied, “Well, I don’t have four shots of vodka before every meeting.” Oh yeah, he went there. Vance continued, mocking Kamala’s well-known verbal struggles: “That’s one way I think that Kamala really tried to bring herself into the role — these word salads. And I think that I would need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer a question the way that Kamala Harris answered questions.” Oh, snap! Beyond the epic jab, Vance suggested that Kamala’s vice presidency was undermined by a lack of trust from President Joe Biden. “My sense is that there wasn’t a level o...
