Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent media tour has been so bad, even CNN is taking notice. In a clip from Tuesday night posted to contributor Scott Jennings’ account on social media platform X, Jennings spoke about Harris, framing her relationship with the outgoing administration as President Joe Biden putting “handcuffs on her.” He elaborated, saying, “He [Biden] has gone out and said last week … ‘She helped me pass every law, she was part of every decision.’ He’s making it difficult for her to get any separation.” Yahoo! News reported Biden said as much in September during an interview with…

Via The Cradle As many as one million people in Lebanon could be displaced by dozens of Israeli airstrikes that have hit the country’s capital over the past few days, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati told reporters on Sunday. “The number of displaced people… could reach a million. Let’s not forget the large influx from the south and the Bekaa,” Mikati said following an emergency cabinet meeting, calling the situation “the largest displacement movement that may have happened” in the country. Caretaker Environment Minister Nasser Yassin echoed Mikati’s words, announcing that about 250,000 people have taken refuge in government-run and informal shelters. However, he stressed that…

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is calling on Big Tech to censor alleged election misinformation, conveniently ignoring his own history of propagating the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is now demanding that major tech companies take aggressive action to combat the spread of so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation” ahead of the 2024 election. However, Schiff’s sudden concern about election integrity rings hollow given his prominent role in spreading one of the most damaging political conspiracy theories in recent memory — the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. In a letter sent this week to the CEOs of Meta, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok,…

A group of Cardinals in Rome for the Synod on Synodality took time on Tuesday to attend an event hosted by Fr. James Martin S.J. and his Outreach group, where attendees heard testimonials from “LGBTQ Catholics.” LifeSite News first reported this story. The event, titled “What is the experience of LGBTQ Catholics?” provided Catholics married to members of the same sex with an opportunity to tell the Cardinals their life experiences and the changes they would like to see in the Catholic Church. Christopher Vella, leader of the Malta-based LGBT Catholic organization Drachma and a bisexual man married to another…

The establishment media is going after JD Vance for saying out loud at the Vice-Presidential debate that migration raises Americans’ housing prices. But they’re distorting his argument, moving the goalposts, changing the subject, and downplaying their tacit admissions that migration does drive up Americans’ housing costs. Their evasion and obfuscation is likely intended to defend Democrats from Vance’s politically powerful charge that President Joe Biden’s mass migration policy has pushed middle-class and young Americans out of homes to help make room for more illegal migrants. “In the world according to JD Vance, immigrants are the root of all evil,” New York…

Special Counsel Jack Smith abused his power and is interfering in the 2024 election with his massive 165-page memorandum accusing Trump of committing crimes, according to an op-ed in the New York Times Wednesday. As Breitbart News reported, Smith submitted his memo — four times the typically-allowed length of a legal brief, and well within the Department of Justice’s 60-day window before Election Day — to Judge Tanya Chutkan in D.C. Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith — a former George W. Bush official who has been critical of Trump — wrote in the Times that Smith had violated legal norms and…

The armed conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara region has intensified after the government recently stepped up its offensive to crush the Fano rebels. This has led to an increase in disinformation about the conflict. A post on Facebook claims that one of the Fano rebel leaders declared that the militia group was giving up its armed struggle and joining forces with the government. However, this is misleading: an old video was recycled, with sections omitted to make it seem as if the rebel leader said that Fano was surrendering. Moreover, he did not mention “joining the government” in either the…

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer launched an investigation on Wednesday into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visit to an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania. House Republicans have already cried foul on the visit, which Zelenskyy took to thank the workers at a factory that has supplied critical munitions in Ukraine’s war with Russia, because several Democrats joined him for a public appearance. Comer took a different tack on Wednesday, instead focusing on Zelenskyy visiting a presidential battleground state. Defense and State Department officials traveled with Zelenskyy from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. That trip was paid for by DoD, which requested…
