“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert owes Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon an apology. Last week, the liberal host recently peddled baseless claims that Dixon fabricated a story about inappropriate pornographic content in school libraries. During a segment of his show, Colbert played a clip from her debate against incumbent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, where she described an anonymous man who reported that his son’s school library had content teaching children how to have sex. The “Late Show” host mocked Dixon’s story, accusing the man in her story of being a figment of her imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYi3Uq_fh-U&t=348s “OK, fine. That happened,”…

Sorry, Jake but this isn’t going to work out. CNN’s Jake Tapper will be moving back to his regular 4 p.m. show after a brief test in a primetime hour-long slot. In what was originally billed as a trial period but was widely seen as a test to insiders, Tapper briefly took over the 9 p.m. time slot starting in September as a temporary host ahead of the November elections. However, CNN is opting not to take the bait and is sending the TV personality back to his regular show after a lackluster performance. https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1587943268880457730 A CNN spokesperson told Semafor,…

Arizona Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs learned that valuable lesson after reports revealed the suspect behind the October 24th burglary of her campaign office is actually an illegal immigrant.

The White House tweeted, “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.” Screenshot of a White House tweet that has since been deleted.…
Liz Cheney is leaving no stone unturned as she torches the remnants of a once-cordial relationship with congressional conservatives. Since losing Wyoming’s Republican primary to Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman Cheney has seemingly been on a warpath throughout the halls of Congress. As one of the two Republicans serving on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6th riot, it’s no secret Cheney has been bending to Democrats bidding for some time now but now more people are speculating if Cheney is planning to officially abandon the GOP.

With Election Day less than one week away, political pollsters and analysts are rapidly amending their projections as the GOP is poised to sweep this year’s midterms.
