    Fox News Star Predicts Two Dems Will Announce 2028 Bids Early

    Fox News contributor and former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is already looking ahead to the next presidential cycle—and her prediction underscores a growing concern on the Right: Democrats may try to mimic President Donald Trump’s political playbook after years of vilifying it.

    In a promotional video shared by Fox News on X and captioned, “We asked our talent to share their predictions for 2026!”, McEnany kicked off the segment with a bold forecast. According to McEnany, Democrats—despite routinely attacking Trump’s unconventional style—are quietly preparing to copy the very strategy they once denounced.

    “Happy 2026,” McEnany said. “Here’s my prediction: there will be a Democrat who tries to emulate and copy the Trump playbook—meaning they will declare their candidacy for the presidency before the end of next year.”

    McEnany named California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the most likely Democrat to break with tradition and launch an early White House bid, followed closely—perhaps uncomfortably closely—by former Vice President Kamala Harris.

    “I believe that Democrat will be Gavin Newsom,” McEnany continued. “And shortly thereafter—though I don’t want to scare everyone—I believe Kamala Harris will declare shortly after in 2027. We’ll see!”

    Democrats Imitating Trump?

    The irony of McEnany’s prediction is hard to miss. For nearly a decade, Democrats and legacy media outlets have castigated President Trump for disrupting political norms, launching early campaigns, dominating media attention, and speaking directly to voters outside traditional party structures. Yet as Republicans consolidate behind Trump-style populism, Democrats appear increasingly eager to borrow from the same rulebook—early announcements, personality-driven politics, and nonstop media exposure.

    Newsom, the progressive governor of California, has long been rumored to harbor national ambitions. His frequent appearances on cable news, high-profile red-state visits, and aggressive messaging against Republican governors have fueled speculation that he is positioning himself as the Democratic Party’s next standard-bearer.

    Harris, meanwhile, remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern Democratic politics. After a historically weak vice presidency marked by staff turnover, low approval ratings, and policy misfires—particularly on immigration—Harris has been cautiously testing the waters for a political comeback.

    A Tense California Power Struggle

    Adding intrigue to McEnany’s prediction is the longstanding rivalry between Newsom and Harris, two California Democrats whose careers have frequently intersected—and occasionally clashed.

    The relationship has often been described by political observers as “frenemies.” While publicly supportive, both figures clearly view one another as obstacles on the path to higher office.

    That tension surfaced last summer during Newsom’s appearance on Pod Save America, shortly after Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Asked about the abrupt switch, Newsom responded with thinly veiled sarcasm.

    “We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process,” Newsom quipped. “It was bottom-up—I don’t know if you know that. That’s what I’ve been told to say!”

    The remark was widely interpreted as a jab at Democratic leadership and their handling of Biden’s exit, reinforcing GOP criticisms that Democratic “democracy” often amounts to backroom decision-making.

    Harris, for her part, took a swipe at Newsom in her campaign memoir 107 Days. She recalled calling Newsom to secure his support after Biden dropped out of the race—only to receive a terse text message.

    “Hiking. Will call back,” Newsom reportedly replied.

    “He never did,” Harris added pointedly.

    Signs of a Harris Comeback?

    Despite her past struggles, Harris has been making calculated moves that many Democrats—and Republicans—see as the early stages of a 2028 presidential run.

    According to Axios, Harris has been “stepping toward” another campaign, citing her expanded book tour, renewed engagement with Democratic donors, and a high-profile appearance before the Democratic National Committee earlier this month.

    Reporter Alex Thompson noted that after lying low for much of the year, Harris has suddenly reemerged on the national stage—raising eyebrows within her own party.

    “After embarking on a 2024-focused book tour,” Thompson wrote, “Harris made several moves this week that many Democrats see as the beginnings of a 2028 campaign.”

    DNC Chair Ken Martin has also offered unusually warm public praise for Harris, further fueling speculation.

    Things are heating up…

    A heckler at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) town hall on Tuesday was tased by police as supporters of the congresswoman cheered.

    At least three people were removed from the town hall after interrupting the event, including a man who had to be tased by police after he became violent.

    In footage of the incident, posted by several reporters, multiple police officers could be seen struggling to restrain the man while escorting him out of the venue.

    Watch:

    After the man became violent and lashed out against the officers, shouting, “Get the fuck off me!” two officers could be seen deploying their tasers against him as Greene’s audience cheered and applauded.

    “Don’t move! Stop!” an officer could be heard shouting at the man as he continued to resist arrest.

    Greene then declared, “This is a peaceful town hall. Now, this is a peaceful town hall, ladies and gentlemen. This should not have to happen. This is a town hall.”

    “Like I said before, this isn’t a political rally or a protest. I held a town hall tonight. You know who was out of line? The protesters,” Greene told reporters after the event. “There was a place designated outside for the protesters because we support their First Amendment right. So you know who was out of line? The protesters. The police did a great job, I am very thankful.”

    Two other protesters were also removed from the town hall by police, including a man who could be seen resisting officers and asking, “Are you really doing this?” After the man continued to resist, officers could be seen pushing the man to the floor and handcuffing him.

    Early on, a young woman went off on Greene as the congresswoman spoke about immigration. In particular, Greene said that “illegal alien criminals, cartels, and terrorists” are living at the U.S. southern border with Mexico and are “all inside the interior of the United States.”

    Immediately after delivering the line, the protestor stood up and said “How about the KKK?”

    “All inside the interior of the United States,” Greene repeated, as an officer approached the woman in the audience.

    “The protest is outside,” Greene said. “Thank you very much. Protest is outside.”

    “You butch-bodied bigot!” the woman yelled as she was being escorted out. Many in the crowd stood and applauded after the woman left the room.

    Report: Trump FCC Chair Willing To Revoke Media Broadcast Licenses

    By

    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr is making waves in Washington by refusing to give corporate media a free pass. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Carr said he is prepared to hold powerful broadcasters accountable if they cross the line, even suggesting their licenses could be at risk.

    “Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows,” Carr declared, emphasizing that media companies must serve the public interest—not just their own political agenda.

    Unlike past FCC chairs who often looked the other way, Carr has embraced President Trump’s call to challenge the entrenched power of legacy outlets. He noted that Trump shattered the illusion that the mainstream press acts as neutral gatekeepers of truth, exposing the bias that millions of Americans already sensed.

    Taking on Comcast and NBC

    Carr has already taken steps to ensure media giants like Comcast are not misleading the public. Following concerns about the company’s partisan coverage and questionable diversity policies, Carr launched two investigations into Comcast’s practices.

    In April, Carr accused Comcast of misleading Americans with its reporting on a high-profile deportation case. By July, he expanded the review to include whether NBC affiliates were truly serving their communities as required under federal law.

    The standard Carr cites dates back to 1934, which requires broadcasters to act in the “public interest, convenience, and necessity.” While critics claim such standards are outdated, Carr argues that the law remains clear: if companies are given privileged access to America’s airwaves, they must be held accountable to the public.

    The FCC has rarely revoked a broadcast license—most notably in 1971 when a Mississippi station defended segregation—but Carr has signaled he’s willing to use that authority again if necessary.

    Fully Aligned With Trump’s Agenda

    Carr has been at the FCC since 2017 and makes no secret that he supports the president’s approach. “We are fully aligned with the agenda that President Trump is running,” he told the Journal.

    For Carr, this means standing up to the mainstream press, protecting Americans from being misled, and ensuring that media companies don’t abuse their privileged position.

    Critics Push Back

    Of course, media lawyers and progressive watchdog groups are sounding the alarm. Robert Corn-Revere of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression complained to the Journal that Carr’s actions are political. But for millions of conservatives, Carr’s willingness to confront biased outlets is long overdue.

    By leaning in rather than playing the old Washington “independence” game, Carr is showing he’s willing to take bold steps to ensure the public gets fair and honest coverage—not just the partisan spin of corporate media.

    Tucker Carlson Sets the Record Straight On Trump “Apology” Claim

    During a recent interview with German journalist Paul Ronzheimer, Tucker Carlson—former Fox News host and one of the boldest voices in conservative media—firmly denied reports that he apologized to President Donald J. Trump over criticism regarding U.S. policy toward Iran.

    What Trump Said

    Back on June 18, President Trump, during a candid moment in the Oval Office, reflected on Carlson’s prior criticisms about the administration’s military support for Israel and its proposed response to Iranian aggression. Trump remarked:

    “Tucker is a nice guy. He called and apologized the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong, and I appreciated that.”

    Tucker: I Didn’t Apologize—But I Still Back Trump

    When asked directly by Ronzheimer whether he did in fact apologize, Carlson didn’t beat around the bush:

    “Okay, no.”

    Carlson went on to clarify:

    “I really like Trump. I campaigned for Trump. I agree with Trump on the issues. I’d be happy to apologize—I’m an apologizer by nature—but I didn’t say anything that would warrant one in this case.”

    In typical Tucker fashion, he emphasized that disagreement among allies is not betrayal. He reaffirmed his longstanding support for President Trump, noting he has always stood by the policies that put America First.

    “I didn’t attack Trump. I disagreed with him, and I said how. That’s not the same thing as an attack, and it’s certainly not something I’d need to apologize for.”

    The Bottom Line: No Rift Here

    Despite what the media may want people to believe, there’s no feud brewing here. Carlson remains a powerful voice in the conservative movement and a staunch ally of President Trump. They may not agree 100% of the time—but they share a vision: strong borders, real national security, and putting American citizens first.

    Trump Calls To Disbar Judge After Setting Sentencing Date

    President-elect Trump is furious…

    On Saturday, Trump called the New York judge who ordered sentencing to begin next week in his hush-money case to be disbarred.

    “I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME!,” he wrote on Truth Social on Saturday morning, echoing his initial response.

    “He created a case where there was none. Keeps a ‘gag order’ on me so that I can’t talk about how crooked he is,” Trump continued. “The Fake News knows all about it, but they refuse to talk. He may be the most conflicted judge in New York State history.”

    His comments come a day after Judge Juan Merchan announced that sentencing for the president-elect’s 34-count felony conviction would begin before his inauguration on Jan. 10 — handing Trump a blow after he demanded his case be dismissed following his election win.

    Despite the decision to move forward with the case, Merchan signaled he is inclined to propose no punishment in the case connected to a payment made to an adult film star to cover up an alleged affair during the 2016 election. 

    “The judge should be disbarred! This is why people, and companies, are FLEEING New York,” he wrote Saturday. “A corrupt court system.”

    “There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I. Corrupt Democrat judges and prosecutors have gone against a political opponent of a President, ME, at levels of injustice never seen before,” Trump wrote in a second post.

    “Corrupt judges, or judges so blinded by their hatred of me and my political ideology to ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,’ are making a mockery of the United States Judicial System, and the World is watching in disgust,” he added.

    She’s a pro…

    During Monday’s Inauguration ceremony, country music star Carrie Underwood was forced to sing “America The Beautiful” a cappella after apparent sound issues

    After Trump finished his remarks following the swearing-in ceremony, Underwood entered the Capitol Rotunda with a microphone and prepared to sing.

    Music began to play before abruptly cutting off.

    Several moments passed as Underwood stood among former presidents, lawmakers, business leaders and other dignitaries in silence, smiling awkwardly.

    Television coverage of the proceedings showed Underwood making eye contact with a member of the event’s technical team, and mouthing the words “just sing?” before nodding her head and smiling.

    “OK, if you know the words, help me out here,” Underwood said before beginning her rendition.

    Nancy Pelosi Attacks ‘Vile Creature’ Trump In Wild CNN Interview

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “a vile creature,” adding that he is “the worst thing on the face of the earth” during an unhinged interview.

    Pelosi made the comments during a sit-down interview with CNN that aired on Monday. The hostile remarks come as political violence in the United States continues to rise, following two assassination attempts on President Trump in 2024 and the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in September.

    “He’s just a vile creature, and the worst thing on the face of the earth, but anyway,” Pelosi said of Trump.

    “You think he’s the worst thing on the face of the earth?” asked CNN journalist Elex Michaelson.

    “I do, yeah,” Pelosi replied.

    She defended her harsh words about Trump, arguing that he “does not honor the Constitution of the United States.”

    “In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He’s abolished the House of Representatives. He’s chilled the press,” Pelosi added. “He’s scared people who are in our country legally.”

    The 85-year-old congresswoman was not asked to explain how Trump has made the Supreme Court a “rogue court” or what she meant by arguing that the House of Representatives has been “abolished.” The CNN interview focused on California’s special election on Tuesday, when voters will cast their ballots on Proposition 50, which aims to redraw the state’s congressional maps to further favor Democrats.

    On Thursday, the 20-term Congresswoman announced her retirement.

    In a video posted to social media, Pelosi described her love for San Francisco, saying that in the midst of all the titles she’s held, “there has been on greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say I speak for the people of San Francisco.”

    “I will not be seeking reelection to Congress. With a grateful heart I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” she added. “As we go forward my message to the city I love is this. San Francisco, know your power. We have made history, we have made progress, we have always led the way. And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”

    YMCA Singer Defends Trump’s Use Of Song – Floats Potential Inauguration Performance

    Victor Willis, a founding member of the Village People and co-writer of the popular “Y.M.C.A.” disco song defended President-elect Donald Trump’s use of the song and rebuked claims the song is a “gay anthem.”

    The 73-year-old songwriter wrote a lengthy Facebook post explaining that the popular song was based on his perception of the organization, saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays.” Y.M.C.A. is an acronym for the Young Men’s Christian Association nonprofit.

    “When I say, ‘hang out with all the boys’ that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging-out together for sports, gambling or whatever. There’s nothing gay about that,” he said of the lyrics.

    Willis added that even though some members of Village People were gay, “Y.M.C.A” was not meant to be about sexuality, and people should get their “minds out of the gutter.”The singer went on to say those assumptions are “damaging to the song” and that starting next year, he and his wife will sue any news outlet that refers to “Y.M.C.A.” as a gay anthem.

    Willis said he has received “over a thousand complaints” about the use of “Y.M.C.A” at Trump’s campaign rallies. Trump started using the song on the campaign trail in 2020.

    The songwriter added that while getting all the complaints was a “nuisance,” he eventually realized the benefit of Trump using the song and reviving its popularity more than four decades after its release. 

    “For example, Y.M.C.A. was stuck at #2 on the Billboard chart prior to the President Elect’s use. However, the song finally made it to #1 on a Billboard chart after over 45 years (and held on to #1 for two weeks) due to the President Elect’s use,” Willis wrote, saying, “the financial benefits have been great.”

    “I decided to allow the president-elect’s continued use of YMCA because he seems to genuinely, genuinely like the song and so many other artists were stopping him from using their music,” Willis said on Fox News.

    Willis told Fox News the Village People likely would decline to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony but given the President-elect’s role in reviving the 1978 song’s popularity.

    “If you were to ask me today if the Village People would perform at the inauguration, I would probably say not because we’d be concerned about endorsement.”

    “However, because the president-elect has done so much for YMCA and brought so much joy to so many people, the song has actually gone back to No. 1, and it’s still No. 1 today, so if he were to ask the Village People to perform the song live for him, we’d have to seriously consider it.”

    Florida Reporter Suspended After Texting MAGA Congressman After Kirk Shooting

    No room for this behavior…

    A reporter with a popular Florida political website was immediately suspended after attempting to capitalize on the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk.

    The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when the shooting occurred. Video taken by students attending his speech shows Kirk appearing to have been shot in the neck after the sound of a single gunshot was heard. Kirk was later pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

    Kirk was a popular figure in conservative media circles and a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last year.

    News of the shooting stunned politicians and commentators on both sides of the aisle, who offered prayers for his family and condemnations of political violence.

    Wednesday afternoon, after news of the shooting had spread but before it was known that Kirk had died, A.G. Gancarski, a reporter with the Florida Politics website, texted Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), a Republican elected to Congress earlier this year in a special election.

    According to a screenshot posted by Fine, Gancarski asked him “if Charlie Kirk getting shot affects your position on campus carry?”

    “If gun control had been in play could the tragedy have been avoided?” Gancarski added.

    “I learned that Charlie Kirk was shot 23 minutes ago. I am repulsed that you would even think to ask a political question when all anyone should be doing is praying for his survival,” Fine wrote back. “Never contact me again.”

    Fine shared a screenshot of the texts on social media along with a caption that read, “You don’t hate the media enough.”

    Less than an hour later, Peter Schorsch, the founder and publisher of Florida Politics, posted that he had “immediately suspended [Gancarski] from his position with [Florida Politics].”

    Schorsch then noted that he had “urged [Gancarski] to go dark on social media for the time being while we address this situation,” and invited anyone with comments or questions to email him. Gancarski’s account on X has been set to private and is no longer publicly viewable.

    Another X user posted a screenshot of a tweet Gancarski had purportedly sent to Fine before deleting it and locking down his account. In the screenshot, Gancarski replied to Fine that it was a “valid question” because Fine “ran a bill that would have allowed ‘campus carry’” as a state senator, but had left the legislature by the time of the April 17 shooting at Florida State University.

    “I stand by the question,” Gancarski wrote. “Tragedy is ultimately what tests policy positions.”

    Mediaite and other outlats have not yet confirmed the authenticity of this screenshot, but it does accurately display Gancarski’s username on X and most recent profile photo. Mediaite reached out to Schorsch for comment but did not receive a reply.

    Trump Administration Suspends Official After Explosive Hidden Camera Footage

    The Trump White House has placed a senior administration official on leave after he was secretly recorded unloading on President Donald Trump in an undercover sting operation orchestrated by conservative activist James O’Keefe.

    Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager working within the administration, was caught on hidden camera calling Trump a “madman” who is “f*cking it up for everybody” during a conversation with an undercover journalist tied to O’Keefe’s operation.

    The footage, which quickly exploded across conservative media and social platforms, appears to show Ellisten venting frustration over Trump’s leadership style, foreign policy decisions, and the administration’s internal operations — comments that ultimately cost him his White House role.

    A White House official confirmed to The Daily Caller that Ellisten has since been placed on administrative leave.

    “He has no direct access to the President or Senior Staff, and does not work on the White House campus,” the official told the outlet. “Such views expressed by the individual are not reflective of patriots who admirably serve in the Administration.”

    According to O’Keefe’s reporting, Ellisten had been employed by the White House since 2024.

    During the undercover conversation, Ellisten repeatedly blasted the president in strikingly personal terms.

    “He’s a madman,” Ellisten said. “Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.”

    At another point, he reportedly suggested Trump needed to be removed from office altogether.

    “He’s a mess,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. “They gotta get rid of him.”

    Ellisten also took aim at Trump’s decision-making process, portraying the president as impulsive and reckless despite acknowledging that Trump does not drink alcohol.

    “The way his decisions are so erratic, you would think he drinks,” Ellisten said. “He doesn’t drink. And that’s what makes it so dangerous, that someone could be of sound mind and body, totally coherent, could just be so reckless in their decision-making. That’s scary.”

    The secretly recorded remarks are likely to further inflame concerns inside the administration about loyalty leaks and internal resistance from career staffers and lower-level political appointees — an issue Trump has railed against since his first term, when anonymous officials and bureaucratic infighting routinely made headlines.

    Ellisten also appeared to accuse the administration of profiting off geopolitical turmoil, floating speculation about insider trading tied to tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices.

    “The president knows that he affects how people react to the stock market,” Ellisten said. “So one of the things that looks like it’s going on, and going on a lot, is insider trading. Like, for instance, with the war going on in Iran, the price of oil is expensive.”

    No evidence was presented to support the allegation.

    The sting operation also snagged comments from Maxim Lott, a White House special assistant focused on domestic policy, who described the administration’s internal operations as “chaotic” and “uncontrolled.”

    “The decision-making processes are a little bit chaotic,” Lott said in the footage.

    “I think it’s just the overall tone that, like, you know, the government right now is a little bit uncontrolled,” he added. “It’s not gonna fix itself.”

    Lott, who previously worked as a producer for libertarian journalist John Stossel, also claimed lower-level staffers sometimes make policy calls based on what they believe Trump would support politically.

    “In theory, everything should sort of come from the president,” Lott said. “But it might come from the level below him, where they’re like, ‘I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this.’”

    He continued: “There’s no like, ‘Oh well, this will cost $10 million but save people $20 million.’ There’s like nothing like that, it’s just, ‘this feels like a good idea’ or ‘the base supports this,’ alright, just sign.”

    Unlike Ellisten, however, Lott defended himself after being contacted by O’Keefe’s team and insisted his comments were not meant as criticism of Trump or the administration.

    “I went out with an individual I thought was a genuine person, but it goes to show how insidious politics and this city can be,” Lott said in a statement. “Nothing I said was contradictory of this Administration, and I remain fully committed to carrying out its agenda.”

    The undercover recordings come as Trump’s White House has aggressively prioritized loyalty throughout the federal government, with administration officials repeatedly warning staffers that public attacks on the president or leaks to the media would not be tolerated.

    For Trump allies, the footage is likely to reinforce long-standing concerns about anti-Trump sentiment simmering beneath the surface inside Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy — even among officials serving within the administration itself.
