Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” actor Kelsey Grammer said the critics of President Trump’s Reflecting Pool renovations were “consumed by hatred.” Watters said, “That pool is America’s mirror. We look in it and we love what we see. We are looking at ourselves our history our heritage. The Left hates everything they see. They want it broken and murky. They don’t want it to reflect the greatness of the nation.” He continued, “The algae’s been removed, water’s clean, and we hope it stays that way. So why can’t we have nice things?” Grammar said, “Well, we can,…

Hospitals and emergency rooms “in dire need” would be able to “ask for emergency payments of up to 50 percent more on an annual basis.” Hawley also spoke about…
NEW YORK — A coalition powered by Mayor Zohran Mamdani expanded the left’s reach Tuesday, winning younger voters across racial and ethnic lines and once again upending conventional wisdom about elections in New York City. A series of hotly contested congressional and state elections pit a slate of Mamdani-backed democratic socialists and progressives against establishment candidates who, in several cases, differed little on policy aside from U.S.-Israel relations. The results were staggering. Midterm election cycles in deep-blue New York City tend to be sleepy affairs. Both this year and in 2022, just over 500,000 people cast ballots, less than 20…
Yerevan may gain trade and access, but its outreach to Ankara risks pulling the South Caucasus into a deeper East-West clash The normalization of Armenia-Türkiye relations has become one of the central political processes in the South Caucasus. Beneath talk of reopening the border and restoring trade and transport routes lies the question of Armenia’s foreign policy path and reliances in the region’s new reality.At first glance, this looks like a natural attempt by two neighbors to break out of a deadlock that has lasted for decades. The Armenia-Türkiye border has been closed since 1993, and diplomatic relations have never…
Actor John C. Reilly blasted Elon Musk for warning about empathy exploitation, bizarrely claiming that conservatives don’t care about “human rights.” During a recent podcast interview, Reilly asked why standing up for “human rights” is a matter of right vs. left politics, adding, “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human, too.” “This whole thing that kind of has come into vogue of like, ’empathy trap,’” the Chicago actor added, before citing Elon Musk, who he claims said “Don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Stick to your agenda and what’s best for you. Don’t start feeling bad for so-and-so,…

Elon Musk’s SpaceX may pursue an acquisition of T-Mobile if it cannot secure a wholesale network agreement to fuel its expansion of Starlink into the consumer mobile industry, according to an analyst. Forbes reports that SpaceX is positioning its Starlink Mobile service as a potential challenger to established wireless providers like Verizon and AT&T, and one analyst believes T-Mobile represents the most logical acquisition target to advance this strategy. The space company, founded by Elon Musk, detailed its wireless expansion ambitions in its IPO filing last month. That filing cast Starlink Mobile as a direct competitor to major telecommunications carriers in…
Wednesday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) claimed the Republican Party was currently “split into pieces.” On the “All the Smoke” podcast, former President Barack Obama said, “You got to ask him what it is, the obsession. Obviously, you know, I have a room in his head. The idea that I’d be worrying about what came before, somebody who came before. And me trying to measure, you know, like, what’s he done today? Constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re…
