Bill Maher recently sat for an interview with National Public Radio and criticized the organization as ‘extreme far left’ right to the face of their own journalist, who seem a bit taken back by the suggestion.

Maher is right, of course. It’s why conservatives have been calling for the defunding of tax dollars to NPR for years.

One need look no further than NPR’s now famous non-coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop to know where NPR stands politically.

Maher deserves credit for calling them out.

Breitbart News reports:

HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher scolded NPR as being “different from what it used to be” and a news network that’s now “on the far extreme of the left.” Maher made his critical comments about NPR to NPR host Steve Inskeep during the network’s latest episode of Newsmakers.

“The audience is a little more diverse than you might think,” Inskeep said when Maher alluded to the left-leaning of the NPR audience.

“Really? I’m surprised you even had me on!” Maher responded.

“What I always want people to do but it’s so hard to get people to do these days is just engage with argument,” Maher told Inskeep. “You can hate me, whatever, for whatever your reasons — you know, I’m too old, whatever I am. Are you engaging with the argument? Tell me if I’m wrong about something. And then we’re gonna be cool.”

“But that’s not what either extreme does in this country anymore,” Maher continued. “And maybe I’m wrong, but I think of this place as the far extreme of the left.”

During the same interview, Maher defended conservatives, saying that the left has a condescending attitude.

Bill Maher may be a liberal, but at least he talks to people on the right.

Join the VOTER GA Online Watch Party and Online Briefing After President Trump’s Speech Thursday Evening

Guest Post by Martel Maxim

In 2006 VoterGA was formed as an all-volunteer organization with a focus of restoring election integrity in Georgia. 

Under the outstanding leadership of Garland Favorito and his associates, the group has made significant contributions towards keeping the election malfeasance in Georgia in check, and recently chalked up a huge win when the FBI seized the 2020 ballots in Fulton County.  Had they not initiated this effort, the reality of the below photo would not exist.

It was the diligence of VoterGA that resulted in preserving those 2020 ballots with a ruling that ironically occurred on January 6, 2021.  The evidence gathered from the seizing of those ballots has been an important focus that will likely weigh into the contents of President Trump’s address to the Nation on July 16.

Because of the continuing commitment of VoterGA to make a difference when it comes to the honesty of elections, they are hosting a nationwide watch party featuring President Trump’s address, followed by an Online Briefing along with a Q&A session.

If you would like to participate, please click HERE for the signup page.  Please note that the timezone listed is Eastern Time.

This is your opportunity to be a part of perhaps the most important Presidential address to our nation, as America MUST have honest and transparent elections as demanded by the Constitution.

The Epstein stain is very hard to get rid of.

Among the many people exposed by the DOJ document releases as being connected to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was former Barack Obama White House Counsel and former Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathryn Ruemmler.

We have reported here on TGP about how the evidence of her close relation ship with Epstein led to her resignation from her job at Goldman Sachs.

And yesterday (15), Ruemmler testified before the House Oversight Committee, calling the convicted sex offender a ‘masterful liar’.

She said Epstein used her to ‘legitimize’ himself, but had to acknowledge that he ‘referred paying clients to her law practice.’

The New York Post reported:

“Ruemmler, who resigned as Goldman’s top lawyer earlier this year after previously undisclosed communications with Epstein became public, told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday that she maintained years of dealings with him because of those business relationships.

‘I did not see any evidence of ongoing criminal conduct or misconduct of any kind by Epstein during the time I dealt with him’, Ruemmler told lawmakers in her opening statement, adding that she ‘would have immediately reported him to law enforcement’ had she seen evidence that he was abusing women or girls.”

Committee chairman James Comer called the relationship “very concerning” and said Ruemmler “tried and worked as hard as anyone — well I would say more than anyone — and tried to rehabilitate his image after he was convicted of solicitation of a minor.”

“So this is someone that…

Like so many before her, Ruemmler expressed regret over the relationship.

Epstein approached her with ‘a donor-advised fund’ involving Bill Gates, said he was seeking a lawyer to ‘quarterback’ the legal work.

“Although that project never materialized, Ruemmler says Epstein soon referred her another financial institution client that retained her through 2020 while Epstein remained a primary adviser to the client, resulting in “substantial dealings” between the two.

The unnamed financial institution was Bank Edmond de Rothschild, which Epstein allegedly brought to Ruemmler as a client after telling her the bank had “a Justice Department problem” related to a broader US crackdown on Swiss banks, according to Epstein-related emails released by the Trump administration.”

Epstein also referred additional clients and occasionally sought her legal advice, even though she alleges that Epstein was never her client.

Democrats have a serious problem with men. We saw it during the 2024 election, as men abandoned the Democrat Party in droves and voted for Trump and Vance.

The reasons for this are pretty obvious. The left has been demonizing men for years, calling masculinity ‘toxic.’ At a certain point, men began getting the message that they are not welcome in the Democrat Party and they left.

The liberal media knows this and is going to try to help the Democrats if they can. That’s what this Atlantic article is all about.

The Democratic manly man is back, @russellberman reports, with the party embracing masculinity as a campaign strategy. https://t.co/HeaoyjKAQT

— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) July 12, 2026

From the piece:

Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker. He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard. Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men…

Critiques such as Poindexter’s have gelled into a consensus over the past two years, repeated ad nauseam by starchy senators and governors with an eye toward running for president in 2028. Closing the gender gap now seems to be an official electoral strategy for Democrats. A couple of months ago, I got a call from a party operative who pitched a story on the Democrats’ effort to “win back the manosphere.” The operative ran through a list of a half dozen candidates in key House districts who “are engaging culturally in male spaces”—a bit of gobbledygook that I took to mean “manly men,” or perhaps “guy’s guys,” but that also reflects the sort of anthropological distance that points to the depth of the party’s problem. After all, an ironworker probably wouldn’t describe himself as “engaging culturally in male spaces.”

Does everyone remember the famous ad featuring Men for Kamala? How did that go over?

Turns out, this ad DID NOT get men to vote for Kamala Harris. Shocker. pic.twitter.com/oQZQylN6YJ

It’s all so forced.

And the cycle repeats. By forcing masculinity politically, you push a watered-down, sociopathic version of YOUR idea of masculinity. Your candidate either has it or they don’t.

TLDR: Masculinity in politics can’t be manufactured like the Democrats continually think. pic.twitter.com/gAbOQ597l4

The media needs to go back to the drawing board. This piece from the Atlantic is just not going to solve the problem.

A Texas mayor was arrested and charged with five felonies.

Houston-area Arcola Mayor Fred Burton was charged with illegal voting, fraud, tampering with government records, and misuse of official information.

The illegal voting charges arise from two different elections: Arcola Municipal runoff election in June 2025 and City of Arcola special election in April 2026.

“According to the grand jury indictments, Burton is accused of helping, encouraging, or failing to prevent three people from voting when he knew they were ineligible to do so,” Fox 26 Houston reported.

The three remaining charges against Burton go back to 2023.

KHOU reported:

The mayor of a small Texas town is facing several felonies, according to Fort Bend County court records.

Mayor Fred A. Burton, 68, is charged with two counts of illegal voting, one count of misuse of official information, one count of fraud and one count of tampering with government records, all of which are felonies. He was arrested Tuesday night, according to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office.

In the illegal voting charges, Burton is accused of telling at least three people to vote in a runoff election while knowing they weren’t eligible to do so.

In the misuse of official information charge, Burton is accused of using insider information to affect a $15,000 City of Arcola contract bid.

In the tampering with government record charge, he’s accused of presenting a fake estimate to defraud the City of Arcola in 2023.

The fraud charge, also stemming from an incident in 2023, alleges Burton got some councilmembers to sign off on two checks with a combined value of between $30,000 and $150,000.
