U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, an Empire State Republican, called Democratic Big Apple mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a “jihadist.” “I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite. Mamdani is the definition of a jihadist as he supports Hamas terrorists which he did as recently as yesterday when he refused to call for Hamas terrorists to put down their arms – the same Hamas terrorist group that slaughtered civilians including New Yorkers on October 7, 2023,” the congresswoman claimed. Fox News Digital emailed Mamdani’s campaign to request a comment from the New York City mayoral candidate. Fox News Channel’s Martha…
CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, who will be out of a job next May, poked fun at his network’s new boss, David Ellison, on Thursday. During his opening monologue, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” host made a sarcastic dig at David Ellison, marking National Boss’s Day with a jab at the Paramount Skydance CEO. “I want to take a moment to celebrate my new boss, Paramount CEO David Ellison: Mr. Ellison, I love you,” Colbert said while looking into his “David Ellison Appreciation Cam.” Ellison, previously CEO of Skydance Media, was named CEO of new joint company Paramount Skydance when…
MTV’s four-decade run on cable TV in the US won’t end anytime soon – but it’s at risk of becoming an eventual casualty as the iconic network’s corporate owners search for ways to slash costs, On The Money has learned. The music video channel that launched in 1981 and morphed into a reality-TV destination is – like its sister networks Comedy Central and Nickelodeon under media giant Paramount Skydance – getting slammed by cord cutting. For now, CEO David Ellison and his No. 2, Jeff Shell have no plans to shutter MTV’s US operations largely because it’s an iconic brand…
Vice President JD Vance shrugged off the outrage on Wednesday about a leaked group chat from young conservatives, arguing this pales in comparison to the exposed texts from Virginia Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones. Vance and President Donald Trump separately slammed Democrats who continue to back Virginia attorney general candidate Jones as his campaign unravels over texts envisioning the murder of a former top Republican lawmaker and his young children. Jones — who sent messages claiming he would gladly shoot former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert — will face off with incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares at the University of Richmond on Thursday…
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, argued that he deserves due credit for negotiating a peace deal to stop the war in Gaza. Trump has been praised by numerous public figures across the political spectrum after securing a peace deal between Hamas and Israel as all 20 living Israeli hostages were released from captivity. On his Politics War Room Podcast, Carville agreed with the sentiment that Trump deserves some credit for this negotiation. “Stopping this, bringing these hostages back. I don’t know. You know, you can say, ‘Well, it may not last that long,’…
While the idea of tracking down every partner on your roster may sound both anguishing and impossible, one woman has made it her mission to find every last one of her exes — from a fifth-grade pizza date to a strip club hookup — and grill them about what went wrong, or right. Miriam Katz, an LA-based actor and writer, recently launched the podcast “Ex-Appeal,” where, driven by the holy trinity of curiosity, closure and titillation, she interviews everyone with whom she’s ever had a romantic entanglement. In the show’s intro, Katz sings, “It’s over, but I still have questions,”…
Six foreign nationals had their US visas revoked in connection with tone deaf comments they made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination last month, the State Department announced on Tuesday. The agency warned that voiding their visas isn’t the end and that the Trump administration has plans to take further action against anyone celebrating Kirk’s demise. “The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. @POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our…
CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour apologized Monday after claiming that Israeli hostages freed from Hamas captivity were “treated better” than Gazans — remarks that provoked furious backlash from Israel supporters. The longtime international correspondent retracted her statement on air just hours after Hamas released the final 20 living hostages under a cease-fire agreement brokered by the United States and Egypt. “That was insensitive, and it was wrong,” Amanpour said during a broadcast on Monday. “From speaking to many former hostages and their families, like everyone, I’ve been horrified at what Hamas has subjected them to over two long years,” the veteran…
President Trump bashed CBS News’ former “Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell after The Post reported that the longtime correspondent is rumored to return to an anchor spot at the network. Last week, Paramount Skydance announced its $150 million acquisition of buzzy, contrarian news site The Free Press – and its controversial decision to elevate its pro-Israel, anti-woke founder Bari Weiss to the top role as editor in chief of CBS News. Under her lead, O’Donnell – who stepped down as host of “CBS Evening News” earlier this year – has resurfaced as a contender to land an anchor seat, The…
The Washington Post editorial board ripped Democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his pie-in-the-sky proposal to eliminate bus fares, warning the only beneficiaries would be the city’s homeless and drug users. “Vagrants and drug addicts would camp out all day on New York’s buses, especially in the winter,” the scathing op-ed published Sunday read. “Parents would grow afraid to let their children ride alone,” the board predicted. The outlet also mocked Mamdani for brushing off the nearly $800 million his plan would cost the city each year, which he compared to “$50 million less than what…
Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” pitched a “game” to play that he found inappropriate. In an interview with The New Yorker, Mamdani recalled an exchange with Colbert’s producers ahead of his late-night appearance in June, just one day before the self-described democratic socialist clinched the Democratic nomination. At the time, Jewish groups urged Colbert to grill Mamdani on his views about Israel. “Right before the candidates went onstage, the producers appeared in the greenroom and said that they wanted to go over a few more questions,” The New Yorker described the situation Thursday. “According to people…
Shock jock radio host Howard Stern balked Thursday at the claims that he has gone “woke” amid rumors of his retirement, arguing both are untrue. Stern was once on the cutting-edge of shock-jock radio, famously sparring with the FCC for decades to defend his raunchy and politically-incorrect show. In later years, Stern was accused of losing the very devil-may-care approach to humor that led to his rise in the first place. This has been a repeated claim over the years, as has been rumor of his retirement. “I was on vacation and the next thing I know, I was in…
