On Tuesday’s broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Megyn Kelly Show,” CNN host and “Original Sin” co-author Jake Tapper responded to criticism of his coverage of then-President Joe Biden in the lead-up to his 2024 debate with Donald Trump and that he didn’t push back on the “cheapfake” narrative by saying that after he has named one of the moderators, “I tried to make sure that my coverage was fairly vanilla, both about Trump and about Biden, because I just wanted to get to the debate — and the Biden people and the Trump people, I’m kind of, frankly, surprised that either one of…
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins thinks Congress needs to take charge in naming the heads of major legislative branch agencies, including the Library of Congress and Government Accountability Office. “I think what we’re going to have to do with some of these organizations — like the Library of Congress, GAO — is have Congress appoint the head, to make it crystal clear that these are congressional entities,” the Maine Republican told reporters Wednesday. The decisive words from a senior GOP lawmaker signal the growing appetite on Capitol Hill for Congress to claw back hiring and firing power for leaders of…

Who is responsible for turning Joe Biden into a figurehead? A puppet propped up by his inner circle while bureaucrats and radical insiders govern from the shadows? We connect the dots—and the picture isn’t pretty. The auto-pen, and the Deep State Oval Office insiders who controlled it, is now being exposed as nothing short of a coup attempt. But this isn’t just about a pen. It’s about the integrity of the presidency and whether the American people have been lied to about who’s really in control. In this Episode of “Stinchfield” we name names as to who are the…

Honda is slashing 30 percent of its investment in electric vehicles (EVs) due to slowing demand. Instead, the Japanese car giant with a large manufacturing presence in America will focus on launching more hybrid vehicles. On Tuesday, the Japanese automotive manufacturer said it will miss its previous goal of having electric vehicles account for 30 percent of Honda’s total car sales by 2030, according to a report by InsideEVs. “Based on the current market slowdown, we expect EV sales in 2030 to fall below the 30 percent that we previously targeted,” Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said. Mibe added that EVs might make up…

Ted Cruz (R-TX) about the visit of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

The Trump administration is seeking to prevent China and other bad actors from crippling American infrastructure by undermining GPS systems. Despite the importance of this goal, a trade group run by Trump haters and a host of Chinese companies are trying to defeat these reforms. In 2020, Trump issued an executive order on the subject of GPS technology, noting that, “Because of the widespread adoption of PNT services [positioning, navigation, and timing, which includes GPS], the disruption or manipulation of these services has the potential to adversely affect the national and economic security of the United States.” The order adds, “the Federal…
