    Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) office is releasing more details on the senior’s sudden hospital visit.

    The 81-year-old Senator fell at a dinner event on Wednesday evening at the Waldorf Astoria for the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC closely affiliated with the leader. He is being treated for a concussion and will stay in the hospital for the next few days for treatment and observation, according to reports from The Hill.

    “Leader McConnell tripped at a dinner event Wednesday evening and has been admitted to the hospital and is being treated for a concussion. He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and treatment,” his office announced Thursday, breaking hours of silence after revealing Wednesday evening that the GOP leader had tripped and injured himself at a local hotel.  

    “The Leader is grateful to the medical professionals for their care and to his colleagues for their warm wishes,” McConnell’s office said.

    McConnell won election to a seventh term in 2020 and is next up for reelection in 2026.  

    Critics of the senior lawmaker wasted no time before offering their distasteful remarks.

    However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer offered prayers for McConnell and his family in his opening remarks on Thursday. Sen. Schumer said he spoke with the Republican Senator Thursday morning and wished him a full and speedy recovery.

    Controversial conservative influencer Laura Loomer offered her own crass remarks on Twitter.

    Hunter Biden Was Part of Chinese Operation to Spy on Biden Family

      ANALYSIS – The stakes continue to grow for Joe Biden as more evidence is discovered about his son Hunter’s damning ties to Communist China.

      While the establishment media is slowly coming around to the veracity of the information on Hunter’s laptop, they continue to downplay the more severe implications of his links to Chinese intelligence.

      Thankfully, Republican lawmakers and former White House officials remain dogged in their pursuit of the truth.

      As part of this effort, House Republicans last week released evidence on how the president’s son’s former business partner was connected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

      And former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Fox News that this evidence shows Hunter Biden was “part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family.”

      Just The News reported:

      His [Whitaker’s] interview came days after House Republicans released evidence that before becoming Hunter Biden’s business partner and close associate, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao worked for the Chinese Communist Party at an agency that approves foreign-funded projects.

      “I have always felt that in addition to the sort of just the classic political corruption that is contained in this case, there is this national security concern that I think actually elevates it to, you know, a higher level of a case,” Whitaker said.

      Meanwhile, Fox News reports this new evidence is raising major national security concerns.

      Republicans are demanding information from the FBI about Hunter Biden’s business partner’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and her successful infiltration into President Biden’s family’s affairs, which they say jeopardizes national security.

      James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday morning stating that committee Republicans have documents that “reveal Hunter Biden’s business partner and close personal associate was linked to the Communist Party of China (CCP), her employer before the Biden family.”

      Republicans say Hunter’s partner, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao, provided the president’s son information on how to purchase natural gas in the U.S. and sell it to China. In addition, they say documents show that Bao had access to the Biden family’s financial information and worked closely with CCP agents.

      “After infiltrating the Biden family, Bao urged Hunter to encourage Joe Biden to run for president months before he announced and then supplied the Biden family campaign advice related to China,” Comer’s letter said.

      Media reports and documents reviewed by Committee Republicans suggest that Bao and Hunter’s relationship extended beyond professional obligations — a common tactic employed by Chinese intelligence agents.

      Committee Republicans are concerned Hunter Biden may have been compromised by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and foreign intelligence services (FIS). Due to the interconnected nature of the Biden family’s finances and business dealings, this type of access would jeopardize U.S. national security,” Comer added.

      This growing evidence increasingly indicates Hunter Biden was compromised by Chinese intelligence and in turn compromised the entire Biden family, especially his father, Joe Biden.

      Expect explosive revelations as soon as the GOP gains control of Congress and launches more detailed investigations.

        Report: Trump Leading In 6 Swing States

          It’s the economy, stupid…

          The latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey shows former President Donald Trump leading his successor in six of seven all-important swing states.

          Responses from a substantial sample of around 5,000 registered voters reveal Trump leading in Arizona (49% to 42%), Georgia (49% to 43%), Nevada (51% to 43%), North Carolina (51% to 41%), Pennsylvania (47% to 46%) and Wisconsin (48% to 44%). The poll shows President Biden leads Trump by 2 points in Michigan (47% to 45%).

          Seventy percent of respondents said the economy was heading in an unfavorable direction. A further 82% said the state of the economy would be of “great importance” in influencing their vote.

          America’s News Desk breaks down the results even further:

          Additionally, 54% of Americans hold the belief that inflation will worsen by the end of the year, while 17% are of the opinion that it will improve.

          Under the Biden administration, inflation has persisted at a high level, resulting in consumers facing increased costs for essential items such as food and gasoline.

          Last month, a political action group supporting Trump unveiled a website called “Biden-Mart” that focuses on the significant rise in food costs.

          Deep economic pessimism and Biden’s inverted favorability ratings more than make up for Trump’s 43.4% average favorability rating, according to the latest polls.

          Trump Makes Fresh Bid To Toss Georgia Election Case

            Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge to toss Trump’s Georgia 2020 election criminal racketeering case on First Amendment grounds.

            On Monday, Sadow filed court papers insisting that the allegations involved “core political speech,” telling the judge the indictment must be dismissed ahead of trial, according to The Hill.

            “The First Amendment, in affording the broadest protection to political speech and discussion regarding governmental affairs, not only embraces but encourages exactly the kind of behavior under attack in this Indictment,” wrote Sadow and Jennifer Little, Trump’s other Georgia attorney.

            “The Fulton County prosecutors have not identified any non-speech or non-advocacy conduct in the allegations against President Trump,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in the new filing. 

            “An examination of the indictment reveals why: none of the allegations relate to any non-speech or nonadvocacy conduct,” they continued. “Every charge and overt act alleged against President Trump rests on core acts of political speech and advocacy that lie at the heart of the First Amendment.”

            Trump and 18 co-defendants were charged in August with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Trump and his 18 co-defendants have all pleaded not guilty to the combined 41 charges they face. The former president has also made numerous attempts to have the trial delayed, arguing his team would not be ready for trial by October.

            Don Lemon says CNN was ‘Never Liberal,’ the Host Can’t Contain His Disbelief

              CNN host Don Lemon left “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert visibly stunned when he said he never believed the network is “liberal.”

              Despite the network commonly being regarded as a major left-of-center network, especially throughout the Trump administration, Lemon says CNN is just practicing “good journalism.”

              “Word on the street is that you guys aren’t allowed to be liberal anymore. Is that the case?” Colbert asked. 

              “I don’t think we ever were liberal,” Lemon responded. 

              “Well listen, I think what Chris is saying is that he wants Republicans – sensible Republicans, he wants us to hold people to account, but he wants people to come on and feel comfortable with coming on and talking on CNN and appearing on CNN,” Lemon said. “So if you invite someone to your house, you want to make them comfortable but also by the nature of what we do, we have to hold people to account.” 

              “And so that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going liberal or conservative or whatever, it just means that we are doing what we do and that’s good journalism,” Lemon added. 

              “So accountable but not confrontational,” Colbert said. 

              “I think sometimes one must be confrontational,” the CNN host pushed back. “Look, I don’t think that a conversation on television should be any different than a conversation in person. Listen, I have confrontational conversations with people I love and I have unconformable conversations with people I love and I think it’s necessary. And I think it’s also necessary to do that on television, on CNN, but you can do that without being vitriolic. I think not being vitriolic is maybe a better way of putting it, but you can do that and not have vitriol. As people say, you can disagree without being disagreeable. And so I think that’s what our mission is.”

              Since taking the reigns from disgraced ex-CNN president Jeff Zucker, Christ Licht has made it his mission to re-vamp the network.

              Report: Judge Considers 4 More Gag Order Violations Against Trump

                The judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money case will begin the trial Thursday by holding a hearing to consider four more potential violations of a gag order imposed on the former President.

                Trump was already found in contempt of the gag order on Tuesday, where the judge found him in violation for nine separate online posts attacking witnesses, potential jurors in the case. Judge Merchan fined the former President nearly $10,000.

                Prosecutors now say Trump violated his gag order an additional four times.

                Here are the four statements at issue:

                1 – Courthouse hallway statement

                The first statement at issue is one Trump gave to the cameras in the hallway outside the courtroom on April 22.

                “When are they going to look at all the lies that Cohen did in the last trial?,” Trump said, referring to his ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, who is expected to be prosecutors’ star witness.

                “He got caught lying in the last trial. So he got caught lying, pure lying. And when are they going to look at that?”

                2 – Real America’s Voice interview

                After court concluded that day, Trump in the evening gave an interview to conservative channel Real America’s Voice and took aim at jurors.

                “That jury was picked so fast – 95% Democrats,” Trump said. “The area’s mostly all Democrat. You think of it as a – just a purely Democrat area. It’s a very unfair situation, that I can tell you.”

                3 – Local ABC station interview

                The next day, Trump conducted a roughly 12-minute interview with the local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia, when the former president went after Cohen and ex-National Enquirer Publisher David Pecker, who was testifying that day.

                Michael Cohen is a convicted liar and he’s got no credibility whatsoever,” Trump said of his ex-fixer.

                As for the other witness, Trump said moments later, “David Pecker, I don’t know exactly what he’s going to be testifying against but or about, but he’ll be testifying today.”

                4 – Surprise campaign event

                Before coming to court last Thursday, Trump stopped at a construction site in Manhattan, turning it into a campaign stop. He again was asked about Pecker, who hadn’t yet concluded his testimony:

                “He’s been very nice. I mean, he’s been – David’s been very nice. A nice guy,” Trump said.

                Trump Calls on CNN to Form New Conservative Network

                  Former President Donald Trump wants CNN to start a new business venture aimed to conquer right-of-aisle viewers.

                  In an email statement from his Save America PAC, Trump wrote that CNN should open a “conservative network” with himself as the host.

                  “If CNN were smart, they’d open up a Conservative network, only have me on, and it would be the most successful network in History. Fox only made it because of me, Twitter only made it because of me, and even Facebook is now in the tubes, having lost almost $90 billion in value since I was taken off, which was considered one of the biggest mistakes in business over the last two years,” the statement read.

                  The Fox News team is defending former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she became the subject of Trump’s

                  “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” Trump wrote in a Tuesday post on Truth Social, “I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up. While 25 is great, it’s not 34”

                  “She knew the number was corrected upwards by the group that did the poll,” he claimed. “The RINOS & Globalists can have her. FoxNews should only use REAL Stars!!!”

                  Shortly before Trump’s post, McEnany — a co-host of Fox News’ Outnumbered — had appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, where she said that Trump’s 2024 Republican primary rival Ron DeSantis appeared to be closing in on the former president in Iowa.

                  “The DeSantis team would say, you know, ‘We just had polling come out that shows we closed the gap by 9 points since we announced in Iowa.’ Still, Trump’s hugely ahead, but they say they’re closing the gap. That’s their argument,” said McEnany, who served as Trump’s press secretary between April 2020 and January 2021.

                  “If you look at the polling now, it was Trump 34 in Iowa, it’s now Trump 25,” she continued. “That’s double digits.”

                  On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade didn’t hold back from criticizing Trump’s decision to lash out at his former press secretary.

                  “Three shots at common weaknesses of the president,” Kilmeade said while discussing “some subtle shots at Trump,” he saw the Florida Governor make during a Tuesday stump speech in Iowa.

                  “They see you make things up. They say he’s he flies off the handle. For example, attacking Kayleigh McEnany is insane. She was one of the best press secretaries ever. Dana Perino, as Ari Fleischer watching to say she was fantastic, but she’s an analyst now. She doesn’t work for any campaign.”

                  A number of Fox News officials also knocked Trump for his attack on McEnany.

                  “This is pathetic. I don’t care who you are. This is unacceptable and unhinged,” reacted Blaze TV host Chad Prather. “[McEnany] took bullets for this man. We have a guy in the White House destroying the country and you go after her?!?!? It’s becoming an absolute joke.”

                  Report: Giuliani Must Pay Ex-Defense Team $1.4M

                    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by New York Judge Arthur Engoron to pay the law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron (DHC) more than $1.36 million in unpaid legal fees, plus interest. The firm said the total bills for partner Robert Costello’s legal work amounted to $1.57 million. Giuliani previously paid $214,000, but stopped paying in 2023, according to the firm’s lawsuit.

                    Judge Engoron—best known for presiding over the controversial civil fraud case against Donald Trump’s business empire—rejected Giuliani’s arguments that he never agreed to pay the fees or didn’t receive the bills. Engoron noted that Giuliani had even written checks referencing the firm’s file and invoice numbers, undermining his claims.

                    This ruling adds to Giuliani’s mounting legal burdens from his efforts to defend former President Trump and expose alleged election irregularities following the 2020 election.

                    A Pattern of Politically Charged Investigations

                    Giuliani, once celebrated as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership after 9/11, has been the target of numerous investigations since working as Trump’s personal attorney. He represented Trump from November 2019 through July 2023 while fending off probes from:

                    • Congressional Democrats investigating Trump’s Ukraine dealings and post-election challenges.
                    • Special Counsel Jack Smith, who named Giuliani as an unindicted co-conspirator in the January 6th case against Trump. (That case was later dismissed after Trump’s 2024 election victory.)
                    • Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who charged Giuliani in her sprawling Georgia election case. Willis has since been disqualified from prosecuting the case and just lost her final appeal to stay on it.
                    • Arizona prosecutors, who brought charges related to the state’s 2020 alternate electors effort—this case remains ongoing.

                    Giuliani has consistently argued these prosecutions are politically motivated attempts to punish Trump allies and dissuade legal challenges to election practices.

                    Engoron’s History Raises Eyebrows on the Right

                    Judge Engoron’s role has drawn skepticism from conservatives, who see him as part of a pattern of partisan lawfare against Trump-world figures. Engoron previously levied a massive $500 million civil penalty against Trump’s real estate empire—an unprecedented punishment that was later wiped out on appeal just last month.

                    Now, Engoron’s decision against Giuliani forces him to pay DHC for years of legal defense work, plus accumulating interest since October 2023. Giuliani’s legal team has not yet said whether they will appeal.

                    Broader Legal and Financial Pressures

                    This ruling is just one of several financial pressures on Giuliani. He is also facing:

                    • A bankruptcy filing after losing a defamation suit brought by two Georgia election workers.
                    • Disbarment proceedings in New York and Washington, D.C. over his legal challenges to the 2020 election.
                    • Ongoing legal fees from multiple federal and state investigations.

                    Despite this, Giuliani has maintained that he acted within the law in his efforts to challenge election results and believes he will ultimately be vindicated.
