NEW: Congressman Andy Harris joined me on @FOX45InDepth and I questioned him about his viral clash with Cat Murphy, the University of Maryland journalist. Harris defended his actions.

a lot
If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?

God help anyone so emptyheaded as to believe this deranged nonsense
Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"

Q: Were Medicare and Medicaid mistakes? Vivek Ramaswamy: I believe they were. I think the evidence would show that it has harmed the very people that it was created to actually help

Fox is a sewer
Kid Rock goes full Islamophobic bigot while talking about Abdul El-Sayed on Fox: "I know he looks assimilated... I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!"

"thoroughly impressed"
These Daily Mail stories aren’t just tabloid trash, they’re simply made up. Up and down the White House, everyone has been thoroughly impressed with Katie in just a few short days on the job. At the end of this second term, she’ll be remembered as one of the all-time greats.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Just after this post, Katie Zacharia resigned/was fired after being “encouraged” to step down by Trump nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/…

the hysteria was from those who - out of stupidity, corruption, or tribal delusion - refused until now to see what's been obvious all along
There's been a lot of hysteria over the years at Trump's posture towards Russia, which has often been worse rhetorically than practically. But this time, the wolf comes as a wolf.

not complicated or mysterious. they're on the same team.
Donald Trump’s war on Western democracy and freedom kicks into overdrive. The question as to why Trump continues to capitulate to Putin remains, as does why any traditional conservative would still support him. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/po…

Putin quite obviously does not respect Trump. He uses him.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people."

JD Vance is a pathetic simp
Dokoupil: "Have you seen anything inside the White House when it comes to corruption that makes you squeamish?" Vance: "I've never seen anything like that." Dokoupil: "From anybody inside the White House?" Vance: "I have never seen anything like that from the president…Do I see evidence of corruption from POTUS and the administration? No…The president would never tolerate that behavior."

strange woman married to the objectively strangest man anyone has ever seen
It is objectively strange, obsessive and demented to spend four years of your life dedicated to so vehemently hating one person.

Portnoy: This guy refuses to answer questions about all of these red flags and whenever you ask him, he says it’s racist. No, you have a million red flags. I have a niece and nephew. I won't send them to the University of Michigan—especially if this guy's elected…

The party of “No Kings” wants to ruthlessly prosecute its political opponents and intimidate the next generation out of even considering public service. Real dystopian stuff.

weapons-grade liar
Barack Obama weaponized the federal government like no president ever has. If Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws, she shouldn't get a pass. And let's not forget: The Obama-started Russiagate hoax was exactly that: a hoax.
