If you're going to make a big deal about Bill Barr supporting Trump in this year's election, at least mention that the side channel Barr set up for Russian disinformation on Hunter Biden in 2020 ended up framing Joe Biden.
The Senate approved a measure that will require ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban, in a vote of 79 to 18. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act next goes to President Biden. The president has already said he’ll sign the bill into law. (Yes, as predicted, I'm writing about this again.) TikTok has faced the ire of US politicians for a few years now, but this bill has picked up support across both political parties. It sailed through the House of...
The bill that could ban TikTok in the United States inches closer to becoming law. The legislation passed the House of Representatives last month, then had to face the Senate — and opposition from a few prominent lawmakers. The House is to vote on a package of bills this weekend, which includes a slightly revised version of the TikTok bill. In the latest version, ByteDance would have up to 12 months to divest TikTok, instead of the six months initially pitched. That change alone was apparently...
Andrew Schulz says he didn't believe the media's portrayal of San Francisco. Surely a major American city can't be as filthy and out of control as the updates he sees on his smart phone and elsewhere. Exaggerations often camouflage the truth, and this could be yet another example, the 'Flagrant' podcaster figured. Call it Fake News on Steroids. And then he visited the California city for himself last month as part of his 'The Life' stand-up tour. Schulz posted a clip from that performance this...

When Presidentish Joe Biden assumed office, he effectively erased our immigration laws using nothing more than
The bill that will force a sale or ban of TikTok in the United States is now law. President Joe Biden signed a package of foreign aid bills that included the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,” one day after the legislation was approved by the Senate. In a statement, TikTok said it would challenge the law in court, which could delay an eventual sale or ban. “This unconstitutional law is a TikTok ban, and we will challenge it in court,” the company said. “We...
Most mock drafts aren’t intended to be predictive. As much as the NFL community can sometimes say they hate the exercises where media members or analysts conjure up fictional outcomes to the NFL Draft, mock drafts remain incredibly popular methods of generating web traffic because they get clicked on. People want to scroll through, see who their team picked in the hypothetical rumination, and then react to it. Sometimes they don’t even know the player at all and are reacting to the position...
On Thursday, Morning Joe treated us to surprising praise for Speaker Mike Johnson -- albeit regarding his support for aid to Ukraine, something dear to Joe Scarborough. Friday brought another surprise: tough talk about the pro-Hamas protesters wreaking havoc on American campuses, and praise for university administrators taking action to curb their excesses. Thus, Joe Scarborough condemned students occupying the offices of college presidents, even suggesting that any president who tolerates...
In the mid-'80s, my friends and I had our own secret television show: SCTV, one of the greatest comedy shows of all time. It didn't air until 1:00 am, after SNL on NBC. How many people in their 30s, 40s or beyond would stay up that late to watch a Canadian sketch show? — Read the rest
Former speaker joined letter asking Biden to stop arms transfers after aid worker deaths but voted for recent military assistance package
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, adding another influential voice to Democratic criticism of the Israeli leader. In an interview published Monday, Rep. Pelosi cited the recent resignation of the intelligence chief of the Israel Defense Forces over failures surrounding the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack, before pointing the finger back at Netanyahu. "We recognize Israel's right to protect itself. We reject the policy and the practice of...
