Steve Schmidt, a former Republican strategist, ripped President Donald Trump after he showed up at the Knicks' NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, right in the heart of New York City, where he appeared to fall asleep during the historic game. He warned this could signal Trump's undoing.

The co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project described how Trump's 30 percent approval rating, the Iran war and his declining health were all leading to MAGA's pending implosion after he was viciously booed by the crowd during the National Anthem on Monday night.

Jasmine Crockett gets into a heated clash with MLK's right-winger niece

Religious conservative activist Alveda King came to a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday as a Republican star witness. She left rattled — and firing back at a Texas Democrat who questioned whether she has any right to her famous last name.

The confrontation erupted at a GOP-called hearing targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — already unraveling before Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got the microphone. King, a Fox News contributor and chair of the America First Policy Institute's Center for the American Dream, had moments earlier shouted — according to Raw Story reporting — "Stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off!" derailing a Democratic colleague's questioning entirely.

GOP witness veers into 'cutting penises off' of babies to dodge Todd Blanche question

A House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) went sideways Tuesday when a GOP witness interrupted a line of Democratic questioning with a non-sequitur about infant genitalia.

It started simply enough. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) pressed the panel on whether the Justice Department's controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" — scrapped last week by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche after bipartisan backlash — should have been shut down. SPLC Interim CEO Bryan Fair said yes. Then Raskin turned to Dr. Alveda King.

Blanche hit with major Epstein accusation as he's accused of witness tampering

A Democratic lawmaker hurled a major allegation at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday, one they said amounted to “witness tampering” in the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche was nominated by President Donald Trump on Monday to serve as permanent attorney general, and during an appearance on CNN, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) was asked whether Blanche’s handling of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) release of Epstein-related files would help or hurt his chances at being confirmed by the Senate.

Jim Jordan tells Fox News Trump just threw GOP victory in doubt: 'It's a standoff'

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan went on Fox News to warn that a key national security law is heading toward expiration Friday — and acknowledged that his own side may not be able to stop it.

FISA Section 702, which Jordan described as responsible for more than 50 percent of the nation's most sensitive intelligence, is set to expire this week. Democrats are blocking reauthorization unless President Trump removes Bill Pulte from his role as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Jordan admitted to host Maria Bartiromo the two sides are at an impasse.

Rape-accused Barron Trump pal gushes about Russia's 'masculine men' on Kremlin TV

Andrew Tate is facing rape charges in two countries, free to travel only because the White House intervened on his behalf — and this week he used that freedom to lavish praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin's Russia before a Kremlin-backed audience.

"If you have patriotic masculine men, you're gonna protect Russia," Andrew Tate told RT's Sanchez Effect in an interview that aired Monday. Russia, he continued, "is a very patriotic nation, and they don't fear having a masculine population…"
