Barstool Sports founder and President Dave Portnoy has shared some tear-jerking videos online showing business owners learning that they have been accepted to receive a lifeline from his Barstool Fund to save small businesses.

Some of you might remember when CNN’s PrimeTime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo went toe-to-toe last year with Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling regarding the baseless accusations of voter suppression against the black community. In fact, Sterling made Fredo look like such a fool, that the schooling made it into NewsBusters’ top Fredo moments of 2020. Well, Cuomo
The U.S. Covid vaccination effort is far behind original estimates. More than 15.4 million doses have been delivered to states, but only 4.5 million Americans have received their first shot according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In a heated back and forth during a Monday press conference about Florida’s rollout of the coronavirus vaccines, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was forced to put an obnoxious CNN correspondent in their place after they tried to filibuster and talk down to him. The liberal network actually took some time at the end of Erin
For Joe Biden, plagiarism has kind of been his thing. His first presidential campaign was doomed by allegations of plagiarism. Not one to learn from his mistakes, his platform, his COVID-19 response plan, and his DNC acceptance speech were all allegedly plagiarized. Suddenly, his selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate makes more sense.

Recent precedents for challenging Electoral College certification in Congress have come not from Republican lawmakers, but from Democrats. Over the past 20 years, Democrats have on three separate occasions objected to the validity of electoral votes on the floor of Congress. Wednesday, Jan. 6, will mark the first time Republicans choose do so in the
CNN’s activist-reporter Rosa Flores was taken down quite a few notches by Governor Ron DeSantis during a hostile exchange at a coronavirus press briefing. DeSantis treated Flores exactly the way she deserved to be treated. Anyone who humiliates and embarrasses reporters like this has my vote.

After a 35-year-old Illinois man located and chased down two 17-year-old males who allegedly stole his car days before, the teens ended up shot after a physical altercation early Sunday — one of them fatally, investigators told the Chicago Tribune.

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck said he’s “all for” secession — but there’s no reason why conservatives should be the ones to leave.

Last June, Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser demanded that National Guard forces be removed from the capital because the protests over George Floyd were “peaceful.” But now, Mayor Bowser is requesting National Guard forces during the congressional certification of Joe Biden’s victory because “people who are coming here to look for confrontations.” On Sunday, she
President Donald Trump on Monday awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to California GOP Rep.

Cosmopolitan magazine faced fierce online backlash and mockery for its latest cover that dabbled in body positivity during a global pandemic where obesity has been identified as a high-risk precondition. The fashion and entertainment magazine geared toward women highlighted an article touting “11 women on why wellness doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all,” on its cover
CBS Evening News was proud of the double standard they applied to Republicans and Democrats. During their Monday newscast, national correspondent Manuel Bojorquez chided Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for threatening to take vaccine doses from hospitals not distributing them fast enough. But in the same report, he touted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for
The decision has been made – the 2020 Lie of the Year is coronavirus downplay and denial. Well, we knew it would either be the coronavirus or the presidential election, right? Those were the two big stories of 2020 and they both have carried into 2021. PolitiFact calls it an infodemic led by misinformation spread
‘Got Freedom?’, a 501(c)4 nonprofit election integrity watchdog group, conducted an exclusive national briefing today at the request of state legislators from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to review the extensive evidence of irregularities and lawlessness in the 2020 presidential election.

Over the holidays, Glenn Beck spoke with President Donald Trump over the phone, and the president made it clear that he has no intention of conceding the election (even if he has to leave the White House) because he believes — and always will believe — he won the race. “He said, ‘The fight is

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris recalled a bizarre story from her childhood that many thought was strikingly similar to one told by the iconic civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965. In the profile from Elle magazine, Harris says that as a child she tumbled out of her stroller while her parents were enraptured
Donald Trump’s hour-long call urging Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to “find 11,780 votes” sounded desperate and deluded. The recording was a worrying insight into the president’s state of mind – seemingly convinced by the many conspiracy theories about why he lost the election, and unwilling to listen to the facts from members of his
The leader of Dominion Voting Systems, an election hardware company, said he plans to sue attorney Sidney Powell for her role in promoting “falsities” related to the 2020 presidential race.

In yet another example of journalists ignoring gaffes by Democrats, the networks have, so far, skipped Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s prayer opening for the 117th Congress. Cleaver closed his prayer by saying “amen and awoman.” What this woke attempt at gender neutrality means is a mystery. The Democrat, an ordained United Methodist pastor, expanded beyond Christianity and referenced the
The election is over, and Donald Trump’s presidency is set to expire on January 20, but the hyperbole surrounding the outcome continues. Respectable opinion has switched rather abruptly from alarm about the integrity of the election to thundering outrage at the president for disputing its integrity. These reckless, unfounded accusations, we are told, have undermined,
They were called “refuseniks”—Jews in the Soviet Union who wanted to emigrate. They were not just “refused” the right to leave. They were spied on, harassed, and thrown into prison. For Natan Sharansky, the unimaginable abuse was a liberation of conscience. They could take away everything but his passion for freedom. The resilience he showed
Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) will object to the certification of the 2020 election results on Wednesday during the joint session of Congress to certify the Electoral College.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) speaks at a hearing of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on Capitol Hill, June 17, 2020.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Monday identified a handful of SPAC plays that investors could buy as their stocks decline from a hot run closing out 2020. “The electric-vehicle SPAC plays got incredibly overheated late last year, so when you see them cooling off like they did today … it’s actually a sign of health,” the
