Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo has repeatedly been saying this week that Democrats have been pushing to register “massive lines of illegals” to vote in Texas. As it turns out, she never did any actual reporting on the topic. The Texas Department of Public Safety debunked Bartiromo’s claims, with Sergeant William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the department, calling the claims “simply false” and “kind of racist” in a statement Tuesday to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Brady Gray, the chairman of the Parker County GOP, also said such reports were “erroneous” after investigating Bartiromo’s claims.Bartiromo first brought up the alleged voter...

Aurora, CO

For the past week, Donald Trump has been repeating the same story about a Venezuelan gang supposedly taking over a residential building in Colorado—but everyone, from the residents to the police, says that the story is complete fiction.Residents of The Edge at Lowry Apartments in Aurora, Colorado, held a press conference Tuesday to hit back at right-wing claims that their building has been taken over by a violent Venezuelan gang. Last week, a video that appeared to show armed gang members speaking Spanish and storming into an apartment complex began circulating online. The video was boosted by City Council member...

Trump Says Gangs Overran an Apartment Complex. Here’s the Truth.

Donald Trump just couldn’t back up his outlandish claims about voter fraud during an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman that aired Tuesday. During the 45-minute interview, Fridman asked Trump directly if he felt that Kamala Harris should be challenged more by the press. In response, the Republican nominee started rattling off false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. “I don’t know. I can’t believe the whole thing is happening. We had a man in there that should’ve never been in there. They kept him in a basement, they used Covid, they cheated, but they used Covid to cheat. They...

Trump Slurs and Stumbles Way Through Conspiracy-Laden Interview

For my entire adult life, Labor Day has prompted commentators to pronounce the labor movement dead. Occasionally you’ll see somebody argue that organized labor is regaining strength, but the evidence is always anecdotal. Final word must go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ annual report on union membership, which is perennially, relentlessly, dismal. Union density (i.e., the percentage of jobs covered by a union contract) is today half of what it was when those “labor is dead” commentaries started appearing in the early 1980s. In the private sector, union density is six percent, down from its historic peak of 34...

Connecticut Has Some Controversial New Road Signs, And New Jersey Is Real Mad About It

Donald Trump gave a speech Thursday to the Economic Club of New York in which he said, about Kamala Harris:She wants four more years to enforce a radical left agenda that poses a fundamental threat to the prosperity of every American family and America itself.… I’m here today to lay out my plan to rescue our country from this nightmare and to bring back to its citizens the American dream, bigger, better, and stronger.This was a welcome change. As I’ve written before, Trump’s campaign (and even the Republican platform, which Trump and his team wrote) have been skimpy on the...

Donald Trump’s Secret Plan to Eliminate the Government

Chico, CA

Our world is becoming an increasingly dangerous place. One study recently found that extreme heat killed nearly 50,000 people in Europe last year. A single county in the United States—Maricopa County, in Arizona—reported 645 such deaths. Eye-popping sea surface temperatures are fueling a historically destructive hurricane season this summer, and lethal, record-breaking storms are lashing states from Texas to Vermont. In California, the climate-driven Park fire continues to burn a path of devastation that has left hundreds homeless, including numerous survivors of previous wildfires—people who have now lost their homes multiple times.These aren’t “natural” disasters. 2023’s summer heat waves, for...

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, during a New Hampshire rally on Wednesday, calling it a "senseless tragedy" and saying that "we’ve got to end the epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all.” Two students and two teachers were killed in the shooting, and at least nine more victims have been hospitalized for injuries, according to authorities.

A website called KBSF-San Francisco News painted a horrible picture: According to the site, then–California Attorney General Kamala Harris hit a 13-year-old girl with her car in 2011, fleeing the scene before she could be caught or identified. The site included a video, credited to KBSF-TV, of a young woman in a wheelchair—the alleged victim, Alicia Brown—recalling the harrowing moments after their vehicles collided.Except none of it appears to be real.There is no KBSF-TV in San Francisco, and, according to a BBC Verify investigation, the original website that published the story was registered less than two weeks ago.

Harris Targeted in Insane Russia-Backed Crime Conspiracy

I am white and married; a father and
businessman; and a gun owner in my 50s. I love my country, my Constitution, my
flag, my family, my Ford Mustang, and free markets. Anyone at a MAGA rally
would assume that I am a “real” American. And I am. And you know what? So is Kamala
Harris.   Who is calling Harris un-American?
Donald Trump himself, of course, has questioned her racial
legitimacy, as he did with
President Barack Obama. And just this week, the National Review’s Rich
Lowry wrote
in The New York Times that Harris is “a phony” who “doesn’t care about
the country” and will therefore lose the “character” debate against
Trump.  What evidence...

Opinion: Goldman Sachs Shatters Myth That Republicans Are Better for the Economy

Donald Trump’s town hall was mostly an uninterrupted rant about the Republican presidential nominee’s various grievances, including an attempt to set the stage to call the upcoming presidential debate rigged against him, regardless of its outcome. But between the lines of Trump’s ramblings lay a darker truth: that he simply doesn’t remember who he is running against. During a section of his tirade Wednesday night, the former president seemed to romanticize running against President Joe Biden, to the point that he linguistically forgot which candidate he’s actually up against.“And by the way, New Hampshire was so badly treated by the...

Years after it was declared a public health emergency, the overdose crisis continues to impact the nation in profoundly tragic ways. In 2023, more than 107,000 people in the United States died of a drug-related overdose. For people aged 18–45, the leading cause of death may be fentanyl-related drug overdose; each week, dozens of teens die of an overdose across the country. Overdose death rates have increased for Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native Americans. Families from rural West Virginia to the streets of the Bronx have something sorrowful in common: They all find themselves grieving a loved one. But if...
