CBS News owner Paramount ready to settle Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over ’60 Minutes’: report

CBS News owner Paramount Global is reportedly ready to settle President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over the “60 Minutes” interview last year with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Paramount’s board has drafted acceptable financial terms for a potential settlement with Trump, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing anonymous sources. However, the exact dollar amount is unclear.

Trump’s lawsuit alleges the TV news network deceptively edited a “60 Minutes” interview with Harris, who at the time of the interview was also the Democratic nominee in the presidential race.

In January, The Times reported that Paramount was having conversations with Trump to settle the lawsuit, which at the time was for $10 billion, before Trump increased it to $20 billion in February.

Last week, the executive producer for “60 Minutes” said he was stepping down from his role because he could no longer objectively oversee the show as it faces backlash over Trump’s lawsuit.

Earlier this month, Trump posted on Truth Social that he is “so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting,” adding that the network did everything possible to “illegally elect” Harris and that it “must be responsible for what they have done and are doing.”

Kamala Harris mocked for ‘big return’ to the political stage with $25 per stream price tag

Former Vice President Kamala Harris wants to propel herself back into the national political conversation, as former aides are teasing an upcoming major speech criticizing President Donald Trump.

The failed presidential candidate will deliver the keynote speech at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.

The speech will be live-streamed, according to the organizer Emerge, a Democratic group that recruits and trains women to run for public office. 

It’s a major fundraiser as tickets cost up to $50,000 for a sponsor. But the group is also charging $25 per virtual watch. 

Harris is expected to deliver a ‘call to action,’ urging activists and future candidates for political office to have the courage to make their voices heard about Trump’s actions as president according to CNN.

‘She will reflect on the enduring promise of America and issue a call to action in the face of reckless economic policies and the urgent and escalating crisis facing America’s institutions and global leadership,’ a person with knowledge of Harris’ speech to the Los Angeles Times.

The group was founded after Harris won her race for San Francisco district attorney as her advisors believed there was a lack of resources to recruit women for political office.

‘Vice President Harris is the original Emerge woman,’ said A’shanti F. Gholar, president and CEO of Emerge, in a statement. ‘She continues to be a champion for Emerge and an advocate for elevating women in elected office.’

News of Harris’ return to the national stage drew mockery from critics.

‘When you fire a head coach the last person you want to hear from is a fired head coach,’ wrote Mike Lester on X.

‘Can’t wait to hear more about the duality of Democracy in this moment,’ wrote Steve Mur on X, mocking some of her empty messaging lines from the presidential campaign. 

‘Oh, this should be really good! Good in terms of comedy. Her speech writers are busy right now putting cackles and word salad together and some gibberish about her being middle class and Trump being a dictator,’ wrote Tom Johnson on X.

‘Everyone already knows she will fail at the speech given she slurs, makes up stories and gets lost in the middle of the stories,’ wrote X user Bret Weingart

Harris return to the public stage raises questions about the next step of her political career as she weighs whether or not she wants to run for Governor of California in 2026.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is term limited from running again and is already eying the 2028 presidential race.

Democrats are also watching Harris to see if she wants to run again for president in 2028, as she feels she did not have enough time to be fully competitive in her failed 2024 campaign.

Harris remains noncommittal about her political future, as she is taking her time to rest and reconsider her political future.

Kamala Harris mocked on social media for reported interest in creating an institute for policy and ideas

Social media commentators had a field day after a report that former Vice President Kamala Harris was considering starting a center for “policy and ideas.”

The New York Times released a piece on Thursday, headlined, “Sidelined and Still Processing Her Defeat, Harris Looks for a Way Back In.” The article observed how Harris and her husband are “weighing each new opportunity with the potential political blowback in mind” as they chart a course for the future.

“One possibility: establishing an institute for policy and ideas,” The Times reported. “Brian Nelson, an adviser to Ms. Harris since she was California’s attorney general, has broached the idea with several universities, including Howard and Stanford. But some allies have noted that raising money for such a center could, depending on the donors, create liabilities in future races.”

The notion that Harris’ next political move could involve starting a think tank — despite a presidential campaign often criticized for gaffes — resulted in many jokes on social media outlets like X.

Washington Free Beacon senior writer Andrew Stiles summarized the report as “NYT: Kamala Harris, known for her deep knowledge and ability to articulate complex issues, is thinking about launching ‘an institute for policy and ideas.'”

Kamala Harris was ‘completely shocked’ by election night loss to Trump after she ‘bought the hype’

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was floored by her loss to President Trump this past November, having “bought the hype” that her campaign was in good shape in the run-up to Election Day, according to the author of a new book on the 2024 presidential election. 

“She was completely shocked, and Tim Walz was shocked,” The Hill correspondent Amie Parnes, co-author of “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” told the podcast “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri” Thursday.

Walz was so “stunned” by Harris’ crushing defeat that he was unable to speak, according to Parnes. 

“He has no words,” the reporter told Palmeri, describing the Minnesota governor sitting in his hotel room silently on election night as staffers tried to explain the situation. 

“And people are kind of explaining to him, same thing with [Harris]. And she’s like, ‘Are you sure? Have we done a recount? Should we do a recount?’” Parnes continued.

Is She Drunk? Kamala’s Latest Public Appearance Was… Yikes…

Kamala Harris emerged from whatever bunker she’s been hiding in to celebrate Tuesday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race results — and boy, was it a spectacle. Kamala Harris, whose public appearances have become increasingly erratic, posted a TikTok video that left many wondering if she’d hit the sauce before hitting the record button.

“Hi, Wisconsin, to all of you,” Kamala’s video began. “I just wanted to pop by to say thank you. You all are just extraordinary. You love our country. You care. You are making such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of so many people, on behalf of communities, on behalf of people you may never meet. There is an unelected billionaire who should not and will not have a greater voice than the working people of Wisconsin.”

If you’re keeping score at home, that’s two “extraordinaries” and three “on behalf ofs” in under thirty seconds. But who’s counting? Certainly not the Vice President, who seems to have forgotten that Wisconsin voters rejected her and Biden in 2024 faster than she can say “word salad.”

The occasion for Harris’s bizarre virtual appearance was liberal candidate Susan Crawford’s victory over Republican Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. The win, which establishes a 4-3 Democratic majority, which will likely cost Republicans two House seats through redistricting before 2026.  

But let’s talk about the Democrats’ sudden amnesia regarding “unelected billionaires” in politics. While they’re clutching their pearls about Musk’s political activity, they’ve conveniently forgotten about their own billionaire brigade, including George Soros and at least three other Democratic mega-donors who poured money into the race. Funny how billionaire influence only becomes problematic when it’s not serving their agenda. 

Harris’s video performance was vintage Kamala, complete with her signature grating tone, redundant phrasing, and awkward messaging that makes AI chatbots sound natural by comparison. It’s remarkable how someone with universal name recognition can consistently sound like she’s reading from a focus-grouped script written by a committee of bureaucrats.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect (or painful) as polls show that Harris continues to lead Democratic primary polls for 2028. Yeah, it’s entirely because of name recognition, but it’s still pretty bad when every time the top contender for the 2028 Democratic Party nomination comes out of hiding, she seems drunk.

Last year, a few weeks after her embarrassing election performance, she released a video where she appeared to be under the influence of something.

Revealed: Pro-Kamala Social-Media Millions That Couldn’t Sync ‘Brat’ With ‘Democrat’

The abrupt withdrawal last year of President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, followed rapidly by his replacement with Vice President Kamala Harris, irked many voters left out by the process. Yet social media seemed to ooze with enthusiasm and Gen Z-friendly hipster appeal.

Influencers flooded the web with neon-matcha green pro-Harris videos synced to beats from singer Charli XCX’s album “Brat” released last year. The poppy rave videos, gushed journalists, showed that Harris embodied the confidently independent “brat” vibe conveyed by the music. Social media pages bubbled with memes celebrating Harris as the voice of queer and black youth, in contrast with the Republican agenda of white supremacy. Digital creator Amelia Montooth, in one viral TikTok video, kissed a woman and tried searching for pornography, actions her sketch suggested would be banned if Harris lost the election.

Harris, a career politician favored by the Democratic Party’s establishment, never quite fit the bill as an icon of activist movements. But the sudden influencer buzz seemed to transform the stodgy former prosecutor into an icon of the cultural zeitgeist. 

As it turns out, the tidal wave of enthusiasm was not entirely genuine. Much of the content, including Montooth’s videos, was quietly funded by an elusive group of Democratic billionaires and major donors in an arrangement designed to conceal the payments from voters. 

RealClearInvestigations obtained internal documents and WhatsApp messages from Democratic strategists behind the influencer campaign. Way to Win, one of the major donor groups behind the effort, spent more than $9.1 million on social media influencers during the 2024 presidential election – payments revealed here for the first time. The amount was touted in a document circulated after the election detailing the organization’s accomplishments. 

The effort supported over 550 content creators who published 6,644 posts across platforms, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, and X. Way to Win coached creators on phrases, issue areas, and key themes to “disseminate pro-Kamala content throughout the cycle,” a post-election memo from the group noted.

The look behind the curtain reveals that at least some of the image-making around the Harris candidacy was carefully orchestrated by the same types of covert social media marketing often used by corporate brands and special interest groups. Such campaigns provide the illusion of organic support through the authentic appeal of trusted social media voices.

Trump Revokes Security Clearance of Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and the Radical Leftist Cabal

President Donald Trump dropped a political bombshell on Friday, signing an executive order that yanks security clearances from some of the most notorious figures of the radical left.

The list reads like a who’s who of Trump-hating elitists and Deep State operatives like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Trump once more listed Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and even Joe Biden, along with his entire corrupt family.

Trump’s order declares that these individuals no longer have any business sniffing around classified information.

“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” the president stated, before laying out a laundry list of names that conservatives have long identified as threats to national security and common-sense governance.

Below is the complete list of those stripped of security access:

  • Antony Blinken, former Secretary of State
  • Jake Sullivan, former National Security Adviser
  • Lisa Monaco, former Deputy Attorney General
  • Mark Zaid, lawyer
  • Norman Eisen, lawyer and senior fellow at Brookings
  • Letitia James, New York Attorney General
  • Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney
  • Andrew Weissmann, lawyer
  • Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State
  • Elizabeth Cheney, former Wyoming Representative
  • Kamala Harris, former Vice President
  • Adam Kinzinger, former Illinois Representative
  • Fiona Hill, former White House Russia expert
  • Alexander Vindman, retired Lt. Col.
  • Joseph R. Biden Jr., former President
  • Any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family

“Therefore, I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information,” Trump wrote.

House Judiciary Committee Investigates Biden-Harris AI Censorship Allegations with New Subpoenas

Political trends and circumstances change, as do US administrations – but the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Jim Jordan continues to “soldier on” in its multi-year, comprehensive bid to get to the bottom of the activities by the Biden-Harris White House aimed at pressuring tech companies to its political advantage.

In the past, these investigations produced some spectacular results – such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly admitting to his company relenting to that pressure, stating he regretted that – and that the tech giant would reverse the policies that facilitated compliance with the former government.

The latest set of the Committee’s subpoenas concern companies developing AI tech. The subpoenas have been sent to Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Anthropic PBC, Apple, Cohere, International Business Machines Corp., Inflection AI, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Open AI, Palantir Technologies, Salesforce, Scale AI, and Stability AI.

We obtained a copy of one of the letters for you here.

The Committee wants all documents and communications that the previous administration had with these companies concerning content “moderation and suppression” – i.e., collusion with the aim of censoring lawful speech – to be preserved and presented. The timeframe is January 2020 to January 2025.

Joe Biden Called Kamala Harris with an ‘Unusual’ Admonition the Day She Debated Trump: Book

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

“The second greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is the good guy.”

To be clear, this writer does not think Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is the devil … but man, how can you not think of those quotes with each passing anecdote revealing the type of man the 46th president truly is?

The latest example of this came Thursday, when The Hill published an excerpt  from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.

(The book is slated to release April 1.)

“FIGHT” provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what Democrat leadership was grappling with in the lead-up to what would become a dominant electoral win by now-President Donald Trump.

One pivotal moment: Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ ballyhooed debate with Trump.

“She was running out of major moments to explain a vision to a broad audience,” the book claimed. “Her September 10 debate with Trump would offer another opportunity — perhaps a last chance before voters cast early ballots — to establish that key part of her narrative.

“But the day of the debate Biden called to give Harris an unusual kind of pep talk — and another reminder about the loyalty he demanded.

“No longer able to defend his own record, he expected Harris to protect his legacy.”

“Loyalty he demanded”? “Expected Harris to protect his legacy”? I’m sorry, are these descriptions of Biden, or is the establishment media whining about Trump again?

Seriously, do those not sound like the exact criticisms often lobbed at Trump, with nary a shred of concrete evidence?

Someone Invited Kamala Harris To Speak At A Major AI Conference And Hoo Boy…

Someone thought it was a good idea to invite Kamala Harris to speak at AI conference HumanX at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas over the weekend, and it was obviously a disaster.

Harris delivered a word salad complete with Doritos on the side.

“Former Vice President Harris will share her vision for the future of AI, emphasizing the responsibility to shape this technology in a way that promotes human rights, privacy, and equal opportunity,” Business Wire suggested when Harris was announced as a speaker.

Instead she blathered on about how she is obsessed with nacho cheese Doritos.

“We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start and nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store,” Harris was filmed saying.

“So it was DoorDash … So I was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking of Kamala Harris’ particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for the sake of getting a big bag of Doritos as I watched the Oscars,” she furthered blathered, sounding completely drunk and breaking into inane cackling.

She continued, “And you can debate with me if it should be a right – I think it should. To expect that the innovation would also be weighted in terms of solving their everyday problems, which are beyond my craving for Doritos… but about whatever – and I know the work is happening – the scientific discoveries, for example to cure longstanding diseases I would love it if there was an investment in resources and solving the affordable housing issue in America.”
