BREAKING: MSNBC report demolishes the Trump/Russia story

It's really starting to look like the Trump/Russia blackmail story will go down in history as a high point in the annals of fake news. Every hour, we learn something new that derails the narrative the media so desperately wanted to believe. Buzzfeed, which President Elect Trump called a "failing pile of garbage" during today's press conference is now the "fake news" poster child.

Watch the live feed of President-Elect Donald Trump's press conference here

Most of the media absolutely despises President-Elect Donald Trump, so today's press conference was always going to be a wild one. However, given the array of bizarre and increasingly bogus stories that broke overnight, I think we can safely assume the intensity has been ramped up considerably.

Sob story: Hillary and Obama operatives out of work, grieving, can't find employment

To paraphrase the immortal Albert Rosenfield, "This is what we call a real three-hanky story." The folks at The Politico are pacing the floor, wringing their hands, furrowing their brows, and fretting about jobs. No, they're not distraught over the 95 Million people who are out of the labor force. Those people can fend for themselves. They're troubled by the impending poverty facing Hillary loyalists and operatives in Washington D.C.

Live stream of Sen. Jeff Sessions Attorney General confirmation hearing

Senator Jeff Sessions is President-Elect Donald Trump's choice for Attorney General. Trump's pick, like everything Trump will say or do for the next 4-8 years, is giving Democrats the vapors. The confirmation hearing began a few minutes ago, and the live stream appears below.

Fiat Chrysler pumps $1 billion, 2000 jobs, into Michigan and Ohio

It feels like, every few days since November 8th, we get another happy story about the U.S. business outlook. Whether it's Carrier sticking around, Ford scrapping it's Mexico plant, or SoftBank creating jobs for 50,000 Americans, it seems we're just being inundated with good news. Now, we have some more. Fiat Chrysler will be investing a billion dollars in Michigan and Ohio, creating 2,000 jobs in the process.

Top Clinton confidante: Hillary will never run for elected office again

You've heard the rumblings. Hillary wants to take Bill de Blasio's job. She's gearing up to make a run for New York City Mayor. It's all rumor and innuendo at this point, but the story keeps cropping up, seemingly with a life of its own. ...And it makes a certain amount of sense.

Because no one demanded it, CNN announces Bernie Sanders town hall for Jan. 9

Bernie Sanders, the former presidential candidate who was calling Hillary Clinton a corrupt, corporatist who was unfit for the job a week before he endorsed her, is not ready to wander off to his new beach house just yet. He's determined to extend his 15 minutes into at least a half an hour, and CNN wants to help. The ratings-challenged network has decided it can drag itself out of the cable news basement by giving disgruntled voters two more hours to "feel the Bern."

Biden chucks Schumer under the bus - says Dems must give Trump SCOTUS nom a hearing

A few days ago, we told you that Chuck Schumer had vowed to halt Trump's SCOTUS nominee by any means necessary - pretty much regardless of who he or she turned out to be. This course of action is doomed for a whole host of reasons. There's just no way he'll be able to sustain a filibuster for four years, the nuclear option is out there, voters won't tolerate it, and (since the idea flies directly in the face of the last election) he probably won't be able to get all his cronies to go along with it.

Chicago PD reluctant to call racist, filmed, torture a hate crime - goes with 'kids make stupid deci

So, let's get this straight. A white, special needs, man is kidnapped by four ADULT black assailants. He's bound, gagged, beaten, cut, forced to drink toilet water, and tortured while his captors scream "f*** Trump" and "f*** white people."

Mexico's media: 'Trump's taking all our jobs!'

Last week, we learned that Ford was cancelling plans to build a $1.6 billion dollar plant in Mexico. Instead, the company would be investing $700 million in Michigan, creating hundreds of permanent jobs. As USA Today reported:

Pelosi: 'You want grandma living in the guest room? repeal ObamaCare.'

Nancy Pelosi knows how you feel about your Grandma. You think she's old and annoying. At this point, she's just a big ol' pain in the rump. You don't want Grandma living in your guest room, do you? Of course you don't. Grandma is awful.

Chuck Schumer threatens Trump over SCOTUS nominee - endless filibuster for any nominee?

Democrats don't understand what happened in the 2016 election. They don't know why they lost and they have no concept of how badly they were beaten. I've made this point a hundred times. We see their denial in their post-election defiance, their doubling-down on people like Pelosi, and the bitter name-calling aimed at anyone who didn't support Hillary Clinton. They cling to popular vote totals, buoyed by left-wing superstates New York and California, so they can whistle past their electoral graveyard and their brutal 2018 map.

The members of the UN's 2017 Human Rights Council is a murderers' row of the world's worst nations

Every few years, the United Nations puts its worthlessness on display and the amount of money the United States dumps into the global fiasco becomes a political hot potato. Recently, it was the actions and words of Barack Obama and John Kerry that had people talking. Their orchestration of anti-Israel resolutions sparked a round of saber-rattling about pulling US funding from the New York based boondoggle. Need another reason to defund this joke of an operation?

Newsweek recognizes the 'abject humiliation' of media in 2016 - doesn't seem interested in changing

Welcome to 2017, and congratulations on making it through the Obama years! In a few weeks, the adults will be back in charge and - hopefully - we'll begin the long hard work of undoing the last eight years. Unfortunately, if you're in the media, you should know that your industry may have crossed the credibility Rubicon.

Trump press secretary Sean #: Trump to repeal 'a lot' of Obama's regulations on day one

Things are about to change. In a little over 17 days Obama will be gone, Trump will be in office, and CNN's nightmare scenario will begin. On the first day of the new administration, the government will get smaller. We don't know to what degree it will shrink but, thanks to incoming Press Secretary Sean #, we do know that a raft of Obama's regulations will be eliminated on day one.

The top 5 stories of 2016, or... Why Democrat implosion is loads of fun

If this was a list of the most meaningful stories of the year, Donald Trump's victory would obviously take the top spot. If it was a list of the most important stories of the year, we'd have to mention the continuing impotence of Obama's foreign policy. Since it's neither of those things, you won't see those stories.

Reid bemoans Democrats' lineup of 2020 presidential candidates - calls it an 'old folks home'

We've spent quite a bit of time talking about the ugly reality facing today's Democrats. As a political force, they've essentially been decimated by the Obama years. Following Hillary Clinton's implosion, they hold a historically small number of seats at the federal, state, and local levels. They're facing an absolutely brutal 2018 midterm map, their "bench" is embarrassingly shallow, and (so far) fresh faces are nowhere to be found.

Harry Reid brags: 'I've done stuff no one else will do.' ...Like lie about Mitt Romney's taxes!

I can disagree with someone and still get along well with them. I don't need to share your politics to believe you're a good person. Aside from communists and fascists, I know, trust, and respect people from virtually every point on the political spectrum.

Rep. Maxine Waters refuses to meet or work with Trump

Because she's so very important, we're sure you know that Maxine Waters (D-her own little world) is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee. If, somehow, you were unaware of that, don't worry. She'll tell you, repeatedly, in the clip below.

Democrats notice they've abandoned much of the country, painted themselves into a bi-coastal corner

If you watched any news over the holiday weekend (personally I try to avoid as much of it as possible) you no doubt saw Barack and Michelle Obama's final "Christmas Greeting" video. I put "Christmas Greeting" in quotes, because that's not really what it was. Like most of what Obama does, it was less about the big picture and more about selling the notion of his own greatness.
