Exit polls are showing that Hillary Clinton won in four key battleground states that the vote tally gave to Donald Trump. These states are North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Florida. According to the exit polls conducted by Edison Research and reported by TDMS Research show that in North Carolina, there was a 5.8 point discrepancy […]

They’ve realized that they can’t blame the Green Party candidate for their horrible candidate’s loss, so now they’re blaming Bernie Sanders. In what is easily the single most infuriating thing that I have read since the election, TIME has published a pernicious scapegoating smear piece titled “And The 2016 Ralph Nader Award Goes To… Bernie […]

Donna Brazile is still acting chair of the DNC. Still. The new head of Senate Democrats is going to be Chuck Schumer, who supported the Iraq invasion, the Patriot Act, the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Wall Street bailouts. The elites of the Democratic party conspired to subvert the influence of the will of the […]

If Donald Trump had said during his campaign that he wanted to greatly expand America’s drone program and bomb twice as many countries as his predecessor’s administration, liberals would be losing their minds right now. But according to We Are Change, that’s exactly what happened under the administration of President Obama, who is receiving a […]

Good morning, America! Are you finished with your anxiety attacks about President Trump yet? Some of you? Okay, good enough. We’ve got a lot to talk about, and a lot of work to do. You can catch up the others when they’re done rioting and calling everyone a Nazi. We are looking at a red […]

Ever since the election, finding a fearmongering article on a corporate news outlet’s Twitter page is like shooting sardines in a sardine can. I found this gem after approximately one second of scrolling through the page of CNN, the network we learned from WikiLeaks allowed the Democratic National Committee to dictate what questions they’d be […]

It’s so strange out here. How did this happen? I’m a progressive. I see government as a tool of the people, and I think things like food and healthcare should be basic human rights. What am I doing out here, shunned and exiled by all my liberal friends and keeping it a secret how relieved […]

The Democratic party is about to decide whether it lives or dies. It’s unclear if party officials are aware that this is the decision they’re making as they begin the process of selecting the new chairperson for the Democratic National Committee, but make no mistake: this is life and death for the Democrats. There is […]

My Facebook news feed is somehow still full of people trying to blame Trump’s election on a nationwide collusion of Klan members and male supremacists and on the progressives who refused to fall in line and support Hillary Clinton. This insane adamant refusal to confront the reality of what’s happening in this country will kill […]

Excuse me, but at what point during all these protests and identity politics parades did we forget that the Hillary Clinton campaign hand-picked Donald Trump to be her Republican opponent? Is anybody going to pause in the midst of their social media demonstrations of self-righteous outrage to recall that the Pied Piper email released by […]

I’m so angry right now. A lot of good-hearted progressives are needlessly trembling with fear today, and it’s all the fault of the despicable tactics run for a year and a half by the amoral Clinton campaign. There were many lies that were told to frighten Americans into voting in support of Hillary, concocted by […]

I’m online right now trying to calm the fears of the most sensitive of all internet dwellers, the Tumblr bloggers. If you don’t yet to know about this wonderful corner of the interwebs, it’s where all the sensitive, emotional types go to post their fan art, talk about Steven Universe, social justice and sexuality and […]

The Democratic party is now on probation. There’s a gun to its head, and the American people have their finger on the trigger. We have taken the power of our votes back by force, because they would not give it to us willingly. And now we have placed it in a position where it will […]

There’s no sense trying to hide it anymore: I have fallen hopelessly in love with Trump supporters. I’m still highly suspicious of their actual candidate, whose domestic policy and neocon running mate make my lefty soul cringe, but his supporters have won my heart. Not the corporate media’s crude caricature of Trump supporters, mind you, […]

You don’t get to torture whistleblowers and then whine when they start fighting extradition attempts, America. Two days before the U.S. presidential elections, featuring a candidate whose corruption has been exposed in many significant and undeniable ways by Julian Assange’s transparency advocacy organization WikiLeaks, the Swedish government has released a statement reminding everyone that Assange […]

In the ongoing psy-war between truth and lies, psychic visionary and Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri has assured Americans from coast to coast that the upcoming bombshell WikiLeaks drop is almost certainly a deceitful forgery. “Friends, please remember that if you see a whopper of a Wikileaks in next two days — it’s probably […]

They’re trying to pull a “weapons of mass destruction” on us. WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange has unequivocally stated in a must-watch interview with award-winning Australian journalist John Pilger that the Russian government is not the source of the leaked emails that have been rocking America’s election cycle this year. This directly contradicts statements made by […]

There’s a reason most people aren’t dumb enough to try and deny the veracity of WikiLeaks-released documents. The transparency advocacy group has an untarnished decade-long history of perfect vetting of their sources, and they’re more than happy to lay the smackdown on anyone who tries to attack the reputation of reliability they’ve worked so hard […]

I recently had the privilege of interviewing one of the brightest lights of our times, Dr. Jill Stein. Over the course of our discussion I was profoundly humbled, deeply impressed, educated and surprised, and I even picked up a few vocabulary words while transcribing this interview along the way. Here at Inquisitr I’ve often spoken […]

According to a memo in an attachment to a leaked email released by WikiLeaks, Democratic Party elites were engaged in a serious discussion about replacing the notoriously corrupt (and apparently hard to work with) Debbie Wasserman Schultz with Jennifer Granholm as DNC chair last December. Jennifer Granholm was the governor of Michigan from 2003 to […]

Dr. Steve Pieczenik has made a series of serious accusations on YouTube that, if proven true, will easily be the most important ever made in American history due to what they portend. If what he’s saying is true, all the guys and gals and non-binary pals in America are about to stop and question everything […]

My dear readers, we face a critical moment in our nation’s history. We now run the risk of a radioactive monstrosity being placed in the most powerful political position in the world. This is the single most important election of all time. You must make sure that you get out to the polls and vote […]

Robin Lakoff is a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the seminal feminist text Language and Woman’s Place. She wrote a scathing indictment in Time magazine on people’s interest in Hillary Clinton’s emails. She calls it a “b*tch hunt” and says that people’s outrage is nothing to do […]

While everyone’s talking about acting DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile’s current scandals, let’s not lose sight of the fact that her predecessor, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has seemingly gotten away with spearheading and successfully executing a years-long plot to rig the Democratic primaries for her friend, ally, and former employer Hillary Rodham Clinton. As we’ve discussed before, […]

If you want to have an easy condescending laugh at someone else’s expense (and who doesn’t?), type the words “non story” into the Twitter search bar and look how many Hillary Clinton supporters are using that phrase to try and spin away the FBI’s discovery of new evidence pertinent to the criminal investigation of their […]

Update: Two separate FBI sources have told Fox News that an indictment is likely. We need to be thunderously clear that Tim Kaine is absolutely not an option. Bret Baier reports — Clinton Foundation FBI probe is more expansive than previously understood, indictment likely https://t.co/FRBXCcZg16 — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) November 3, 2016 Yeehaw! At the […]

That’s right, it’s another article about the possibly world-destroying consequences of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Buckle up. Before I get started, though, can I just say how annoying it is that I have to keep writing about this thing? I’m no Trump supporter — I’m a hippie for God’s sake. My house smells like Nag […]

So we’re all clear that they don’t get to call us conspiracy theorists anymore, right? The Observer‘s audio clip of Hillary Clinton openly advocating the rigging of elections means that the burden of proof that America’s votes aren’t being tampered with now rests on the shoulders of its government officials. They don’t get to run […]

It feels like we’re winning, guys. At long last, it finally feels like our great political awakening is on its front foot in this fight. It’s felt this way for more than a day now, ever since Chelsea Clinton exposed her desperation by having the publication she directs run a late smear piece on the […]

Update: What’d I tell you? This Chicago Tribune article is getting lots of traction, calling for Hillary to drop out and be replaced by, guess who? Tim Kaine. We must not allow this, America. We cannot allow this. There is only one man who has any business in that slot, and it ain’t Tim Kaine. […]

“Methinks the lady doth protest too much.” This phrase has become very useful in our current political environment. It’s a line from one of those Shakespeare plays where everyone dies in the end, and its use has become a way of pointing out when someone’s frantic resistance to something reveals a lot more about their […]

As a sensitive pacifist, I sometimes have to avoid looking at the screen when my husband is watching his UFC fights. I don’t mind so much when the fighters are evenly matched, going toe-to-toe in a fair contest of martial arts proficiency, but then there are those times where one guy ends up on the […]

It cracks me up whenever I see pawns of the Democratic Party like Robert Reich try to argue that supporting Hillary Clinton is the “realistic and practical” way to forward the progressive agenda. It always makes me wonder what reality they’re referring to when they call such creative fabrications “realistic.” Does Mr. Reich hail from […]

The first time I read a Hillary supporter saying that they think their candidate will make a good president, I was taken aback. It never would have occurred to me that someone would ever pretend to think that. I literally could not believe someone actually took the time to type that nonsense on purpose with […]

If I see one more millionaire comedian go to a Trump rally and make fun of how low-class and uneducated some of his supporters are, I’m gonna put my fist through my computer. I mean for God’s sake, duh, yes, many of them are lower class and under-educated. That’s the problem. That’s why they’re angry. […]

Who is the most important human being on planet Earth? It’s an interesting question, and the answer will depend on what’s important to you, your personal values, and your worldview. If you’re Roman Catholic, you might say it’s the Pope. If you subscribe to the narrative of the ruling class, you might say it’s whoever […]

There’s a strange sentiment pervading political internet subcultures right now that we shouldn’t be worrying about Julian Assange or demanding proof of his well being. The obnoxious “tinfoil hat” pejorative gets leveled at anyone who isn’t satisfied with the bizarre and typo-riddled unsubstantiated reassurances coming from WikiLeaks’ Twitter account, which is currently being operated by… […]

I lost a hero yesterday. Oprah Winfrey, in one of those typical sleazy, gaslighty mental feats of illusion that Clinton supporters have become famous for, told people who are having trouble bringing themselves to support Hillary that they don’t have to like the illicitly-nominated Democratic nominee, but they do have to vote for her. “She’s […]

Okay, confession guys, I’m still quietly freaking out about Julian Assange’s safety. Yeah, I know, everyone says he’s fine but I’m still looking for proof. My maternal instincts are going off right now and I can’t seem to calm down. One of our babies could be in trouble. This mama bear needs to know he’s […]

The best predictor of future behavior is relevant past behavior. #DrPhil — Dr. Phil (@DrPhil) March 24, 2014 Phil gets it. Ignore someone’s story and watch their actions, and you’ll see clearly where they’re headed. A couple weeks ago when news first broke about Donna Brazile violating the Impartiality Clause of the DNC Charter by […]

Hillary Clinton temporarily overcame her severe allergy to press conferences after the final presidential debate, holding an impromptu gathering with members of the press on her plane, only to cut it short the instant someone brought up the bird-dogging scandal brought to light in James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas videos. “I know nothing about this. I […]

The main thing Bernie Sanders taught people is that they aren’t alone. For all the statistics and figures he’d rattle off during his epic arm-waving speeches, he wasn’t really telling Americans anything they didn’t already know from their own experience. For most folks, what set him apart from all the others was that he was […]

Most of you have probably seen John Oliver’s hit job on Jill Stein. Not funny. Not true either, but more importantly for a comedian, not funny. I won’t go into why it’s not true. Read Dr. Jill herself deliver her smackdown in Rolling Stone yesterday. She’s so impressive, there’s few that can do her more […]

Southern man better keep your head Don’t forget what your good book said Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast ~Neil Young, “Southern Man” Okay, I know the headline might be a big pill to swallow, but hear me out. This isn’t an article about who you should vote for […]

Hillary people are having bad luck with thinking lately. According to the Dems, Russia hacked us and stole fake emails. Fake emails that we shouldn’t read because they’re classified. Democrats, they’re either fake and safe, or real and classified. You can’t have it both ways. Democrat logic tells us not to vote Green because last […]

This is just a friendly reminder that Hillary Clinton once rebuked her Democratic primary opponent, Senator Barack Obama, for saying that the use of nuclear weapons was “not on the table” against Osama bin Laden. This 2007 Washington Post article features Clinton’s strange brain somehow finding a way to not only disagree with that extremely […]

Flat-Earthers. Young Earth creationists. Holocaust deniers. And now, WikiLeaks deniers. Remember when kooky conspiracy theories used to be under the sole jurisdiction of poorly-designed websites with bloodstained Illuminati symbols in the background? Now you see them being peddled on mainstream news stations, spouting convoluted, contradictory messages that go all over the map, from this delusional […]

When Julian Assange lost internet access, the rest of the internet exploded. Tweets went flying, Facebook groups got swarmed, posts about it were at the top of Reddit, and Periscope feeds appeared at the Ecuadorian embassy where Assange lives. People stayed up late, pacing and sharpening their pitchforks saying “Do it. I dare you. Please […]

Sometimes people ask me why I don’t write about the Donald Trump campaign as much as Hillary Clinton’s. Lately I’ve just been saying, “Because the Trump campaign is not a real thing.” Did you ever watch that show Punk’d? They play a wild prank on some quasi-celebrity, then Ashton Kutcher comes in all “You got […]

Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are often spoken of in the same breath as two heroes of the budding revolution. In effect though, they are two people championing two equally important principles — Julian Assange champions the right to transparency, and Edward Snowden is for the right to privacy. These are not contradictory principles. You […]
