Longtime Washington Post columnist Hugh Hewitt quit the newspaper on Friday, he told Fox News Digital. Hewitt, a conservative who hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, had been a contributing columnist for the newspaper since 2017 and has written hundreds of pieces. "I have in fact quit the Post, but I was only writing a column for them every six weeks or so," Hewitt told Fox News Digital, adding he'd recently offered to write another pro-Trump column for the paper ahead of the election. He informed editorial page editor David Shipley on Friday morning.

Comments:

How ironic that the paper's token conservative left the paper shortly after its owner announced he wanted to hire more conservative writers.

With co-workers like the rabid Ruth Marcus and Jonathan Capehart, I'm surprised he wasn't disgusted long before now.

Good for Hugh, and just shows how horrible the Democrat commentators are across the board. He couldn't even take a counter argument, which was factual, then had to comment, without any evidence, on Hugh's previous arguments veracity.

Hours after being released from federal prison, Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon said he had a warning for the Biden family: Pardon Hunter before he has to serve a sentence that could destroy him. 'I don't think Hunter Biden would last 48 hours in a federal prison,' he told DailyMail.com 'I think that it would be too much for him, particularly with his previous drug addiction.' The president's son could face years in prison when he is sentenced for gun and tax crimes in December.

ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania. The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday. It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent. It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.' WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.

A Holocaust survivor criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for describing former President Donald Trump as a fascist. A video released by the Trump campaign features Jerry Wartski, 94, as he rolls up his sleeve to show his Auschwitz prisoner number tattoo. 'Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was 9 years old. He murdered my parents and most of our family,' Wartski says in the video. 'I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes.' Wartski demanded an apology from Harris on behalf of Jewish people who suffered and died under Adolf Hitler's rule.

Michelle Obama's voter mobilization campaign is turning to drag queens and free prize draws in a bid to boost voter turnout in key battleground states. The former first lady founded When We All Vote in 2018 and the organization is planning to host 500 'Party at the Polls' events before election day. The events will take place across states including Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada.

I won’t bother discussing the nonsense currently being trafficked by the media except to note that comparing Republican presidential candidates to Hitler is a playbook older than Joe Biden. Back in 2016, I picked out some select moments from “Every Republican is Hitler” history: “If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London and if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.” Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Chicago Mayor Daley accused Nixon of “Hitler-type” tactics. “Goldwater’s acceptance speech had the stench of fascism. All we needed to hear was Heil Hitler.” Governor Pat Brown of California

“I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work.” That’s part of the caption for a now-viral video on X showing a voter trying to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump. After several attempts, the video shows, the electronic voting machine captured a vote — but it was for Vice President Kamala Harris. Although officials have looked into the issue, such glitches are a reminder to voters to always double (if not triple) check ballots when casting votes.

PHOENIX — Arizona's top prosecutor tells 12News she is investigating whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump violated state law by making a "death threat" against former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney during remarks Thursday night at an event in Glendale. "I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws," Attorney General Mayes, a first-term Democrat, said during Friday's taping of "Sunday Square Off."

Dick Cheney did it. Arnold Schwarzenegger did it. Adam Kinzinger did it, of course. So did Jeff Flake. Mike Pence walked right up to the edge but ultimately declined to take the plunge, but even George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and Dick Cheney’s notorious daughter Liz (that is, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Jan. 6) jumped right in. And now Liz Cheney is calling upon the biggest prize of all, former President George W. Bush, to join the party for the uniparty and endorse Kamala Harris for president. Fox News reported late Friday night that Liz made her plea on The New Yorker Radio Hour,

Former Rep. Liz Cheney is calling on former President George W. Bush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. “I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would,” Cheney said on The New Yorker’s Radio Hour. Pressure has been mounting on Bush to support the Democratic presidential nominee in recent weeks as several people close to the 43rd president have backed Harris. In addition to Cheney, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, endorsed the Democrat. "In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,”

Joe Biden will no longer be campaigning for Kamala Harris after he disastrously called half of all Americans “garbage.” Biden went viral for insulting Trump supporters and calling them “garbage” while on a video call campaigning to Hispanic voters. (X Video) The blunder was so bad that the White House was ordered to alter the transcript by the president himself. The edited transcript makes it appear that Biden was only insulting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who has faced fallout for a joke about Puerto Rico being covered in garbage during Trump’s Madison Square Garden event.

Former President Donald Trump's repeated claims against 60 Minutes are false. • The interview was not doctored; and • 60 Minutes did not hide any part of Vice President Kamala Harris's answer to the question at issue. 60 Minutes fairly presented the interview to inform the viewing audience, and not to mislead it. The lawsuit Trump has brought today against CBS is completely without merit and we will vigorously defend against it.

Boeing reportedly dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) department as part of an overhaul of its operations ordered by the company’s new top executive — becoming the latest major company to ditch the controversial initiative. The aerospace giant — which was slammed by tech mogul Elon Musk for prioritizing DEI over safety and quality controls after a near-catastrophic blowout during an Alaska Airlines flight — said staff from its DEI office would be absorbed into another human resources team focused on talent and employee experience, according to Bloomberg News.
