Canada Just Ran Into The BUZZSAW Named Donald Trump

Monday, August 24, 2026

Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian products after trade talks collapsed at the last minute, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney went straight to the war framing — claiming Canada "got attacked" and that the US made threats against the French language and Quebec culture. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer went on CNBC and called that story flatly untrue, laying out what the negotiations were actually about. Larry O'Connor breaks down the whole thing, plus Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's blunt assessment of what Canada actually brings to a fight with the United States.

SEND HER BACK: They Just CONFIRMED They're Going After Ilhan Omar?!

Monday, August 24, 2026

ICE just refused a Freedom of Information Act request about the Ilhan Omar immigration fraud investigation — citing the exemption for ongoing enforcement proceedings, which effectively confirms the probe is live and could end in deportation. Larry O'Connor walks through the marriage timeline Omar has never explained, then plays her own TikTok calling ICE a "racist terror campaign." Plus: CBS News builds a sob story around a deportee, Nebraska Republican Don Bacon champions another one until you read the actual article, and Nevada's Secretary of State says the quiet part out loud about which voters Democrats are protecting.

Hasan Piker SCREWED Himself. His Own Fans TURNED On Him?!

Monday, August 24, 2026

Eleven months after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Hasan Piker stood on a Portland stage and sang a mocking version of "We Are Charlie Kirk" — then got booed by his own audience when he tried to walk back his claim that America deserved 9/11. Larry O'Connor plays the old clip of Kirk good-naturedly photobombing Piker's stream to show exactly how far this went. Plus: the Washington Post is ordered to rehire Karen Attiah, and a Free Beacon video catches Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed rationalizing terrorism to a nearly empty hotel banquet room — and telling CAIR that Oklahoma's Sharia-law referendum came from the same forces that destroyed Black Wall Street.

AARP's John Hishta Reveals the Michigan Polling Data Both Parties Are Watching Right Now

Friday, August 21, 2026

A new AARP poll of Michigan likely voters has the Senate race in a dead heat — Democrat Abdul El-Sayed at 48% and Republican Mike Rogers at 47%. Larry O'Connor sits down with AARP's John Hishta and pollster Bob Ward of Fabrizio Ward to break down the generational split driving it: Rogers up 9 points with voters 50-plus and 13 with seniors, El-Sayed up 14 with voters under 50. With voters over 50 projected to make up at least 59% of Michigan's midterm turnout — and a 15-point motivation gap in their favor — this race may come down to who actually shows up.

Something INSANE Happened When They Asked Who Might've DRUGGED Joe Biden On Stage!

Friday, August 21, 2026

Jill Biden has a brand new theory about what happened to Joe Biden on that debate stage, and podcaster Jamie Kern Lima handed it to her: maybe somebody laced his drink. It flatly contradicts what she said two months ago when she claimed she thought Joe was having a stroke, and it contradicts her own claim that she hadn't seen him for weeks. Larry O'Connor walks the entire June timeline she was standing right next to him for, then rolls the Obama Library footage of her leaving her dying husband alone on stage.

Schumer Just DUG HIS OWN GRAVE!

Friday, August 21, 2026

Chuck Schumer got asked about the DSA takeover of his party and called it a "big tent" — right before Western Lensman's side-by-side paired his praise for Abdul El-Sayed with El-Sayed's own threat to him. Then El-Sayed posted a clip of himself telling Detroit he learned what it means to be a person of color by reading Malcolm X, while Wayne County's black voters keep breaking toward Mike Rogers. Plus Florida's new Democrat Senate nominee Angie Nixon on Charlie Kirk, ICE, and why she says Republicans are "literally trying to kill us."

Karen Bass CAUGHT ON CAMERA. She Revealed LA's DIRTY Secret.

Friday, August 21, 2026

Karen Bass got so desperate for cash that she went on camera and revealed LA's dirty little secret: a "Super Match" program where the city turns your $5 donation into $35 — with taxpayer money. Fox News broke down how the match quietly went from 1-to-1 to 6-to-1 without voters ever approving it, while Nithya Raman got grilled over hiring the same firm that ran Graham Platner's collapsed Maine campaign. Plus a Michigan whistleblower says the state's software auto-registers non-citizens, and Ed Markey calls photo ID an impeachable offense.

Newsom FAILED The One Test He Needed To Be President...

Friday, August 21, 2026

Gavin Newsom was asked point blank in Detroit whether he'd make a good president — and he couldn't say yes. The California governor who's campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan then bragged about expanding taxpayer-funded health care "regardless of immigration status," while Don Beyer admitted on camera he didn't know Abigail Spanberger had already rescinded Glenn Youngkin's ICE cooperation order. Plus the UK's new nine-page behavioral guide for asylum seekers, which explains consent and child protection as things that might affect an asylum claim.

James Talarico Just Gave A Gift To Ken Paxton On A SILVER PLATTER

Thursday, August 20, 2026

Abdul El-Sayed went on a podcast and compared himself to Jesus Christ — and the reaction on camera says everything. Meanwhile, CNN's Boris Sanchez cornered the DSA co-chair over the group's praise for Fidel Castro by bringing up his own grandfather's 20-year sentence in a Castro prison, and MSNBC tried to hand Angie Nixon an escape hatch on socialism that she refused to take. Plus: El-Sayed's "I'm also African" answer on black voters, and the double standard Mike Rogers has to navigate in Michigan.

CNN Reached A NEW LOW...

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

CNN wasn't done with Jon Ossoff's smear of White House aide Natalie Harp, so Erin Burnett booked Harp's estranged brother Preston Harp as her primetime witness, a man whose only photos with his sister are from Disneyland roughly 25 years ago. Burnett prefaced her own big scoop with a line admitting he almost certainly knew nothing about it, then asked him to explain Secret Service protocols and why Donald Trump relies on his sister. Scott Jennings was the only voice on the network willing to ask what would happen if he read off the names of Ossoff's female staffers and speculated the same way.

The Biggest LOSER In Politics Just Watched His Career Get ERASED...

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

Alexander Vindman raised $16 million with Chuck Schumer and the Democrat establishment behind him, outspent his opponent 13 to 1, and still lost the Florida Senate primary by nearly ten points to DSA socialist Angie Nixon, who didn't even raise a million dollars. Nixon has defended taking her own kids to drag shows and doubled down on abolishing prisons in a CNN interview while the anchor visibly reeled. Senator Ashley Moody tore up the speech she'd written for Vindman and went straight at the socialist nominee instead.

CAUGHT: Socialist Living On Mommy & Daddy's MONEY?!

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

DSA New York City co-chair Gustavo Gordillo preaches anti-capitalism and demands rent freezes while living rent free in a $1.5 million Bed-Stuy rowhouse his parents bought through a shell company called Chuckie LLC. Martha MacCallum couldn't get a straight answer out of him on why landlords shouldn't earn double-digit returns. Plus Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's $72,000 county consulting contract, landed eight days after he resigned from the department he'd been running, with no record the Wayne County Commission ever approved it.

CONFIRMED: The Polls Were Fake From The VERY BEGINNING!

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

The poll showing Karen Bass up 12 points over Nithya Raman — and collecting 85% of Spencer Pratt's primary voters — was completely fake, and the firm behind it just admitted it was a social experiment. Nobody in the media caught it. Same story with James Talarico's lead over Ken Paxton.

You Won't BELIEVE How Badly Jon Ossoff Screwed Himself THIS Time...

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

Jon Ossoff used a scripted, movie-lit campaign speech to drag White House aide Natalie Harp's name into a Bluesky rumor — and CNN's Kristen Holmes instantly used it to ambush Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Then Ossoff refused to explain himself to Jen Psaki.

Monday, August 17, 2026

Newsom Thought His Podcast Would Save Him. It Made Things SO MUCH WORSE!

Monday, August 17, 2026

Gavin Newsom brought Gretchen Whitmer onto his podcast to relitigate Covid — and she bragged about slipping Donald Trump her phone number and landing Michigan a fighter mission. Plus Nancy Pelosi praised Newsom to a room full of Democrats and got zero applause.

Chris Matthews Let It SLIP On 'Morning Joe.' Dems Are SCREWED.

Friday, August 14, 2026

Joe Scarborough handed the mic to Chris Matthews, who went on MSNBC and told every Democrat in America they have to publicly renounce the DSA checklist — no ICE, no border, no prisons, no Pentagon — before Election Day. Good luck: Hakeem Jeffries and Kathy Hochul campaigned with Zohran Mamdani and Adam Schiff called him the future. Then CNN's Harry Enten pulled up the Fox News poll showing Mike Rogers up four in Michigan with Abdul El-Sayed 13 points underwater — the first Democrat down that far in a Michigan Senate poll since 1994 — and El-Sayed's newest surrogate is his sister, who posted a "see you on the streets" video right after October 7th.
