Conservatives are angry that Gallagher’s poorly timed resignation will leave the district without representation for the better part of a year.U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher’s decision to leave Congress — and leave his fellow Republicans and his Wisconsin constituents in the lurch — isn’t sitting well in conservative corners.... Extremely Bad Timing Gallagher
announced last month that he would not seek reelection to the seat he first won in the Trump-led red wave of 2016. Last week, he stunned Republicans in announcing that his last day would be April 19. His departure alone would effectively leave already razor-thin Republican control of...

VIDEO: Pennsylvania Lurch Claims "Biden Is Right" on Inflation

VIDEO"Biden is right" Not exactly a winning message in the middle of surging inflation when you want to win votes. However,
that is the losing message that Pennsylvania Lurch is hyping as he runs for U.S. Senator from the Keystone State. It's almost like he is performing in an attack ad upon himself. Oh, and about Lurch promoting that we should manufacture stuff here in the U.S.A. instead of China... President Trump already been there, done that. It's one thing to talk the (dirty) talk as Lurch is doing but quite another to walk the walk as President Trump already...

On the weekend of August 14, German diplomats routinely driving through Kabul’s diplomatic quarter noted an oddity. US
soldiers who usually keep guard had abandoned the compound. The Germans also noticed that the road to the international airport, normally secured by American troops, was also undefended. They called around to Western colleagues and learned that the US had withdrawn the forces to their own embassy, according to German press reports. Only the next day did US diplomats inform their allies that they, too, should leave the so-called Green Zone and head to the airport, as the Americans were already doing....

Forget toilet paper: This summer’s suitcase shortage could leave travelers in a lurch
|

| 7-13-21 | Ashley Kosciolek
Just as store shelves are consistently stocked with toilet paper again, U.S. consumers could be facing another shortage this summer: suitcases. With
pent-up travel demand manifesting in the form of surging bookings, vacationers in the market for new luggage could find themselves up against product scarcity and high prices as they prepare to pack for their next round of adventures. But it’s not just an increase in demand that has left shelves at many major retailers nearly bare. A combination of factors has led to a breakdown in the supply chain that keeps stores stocked with suitcases.

The New York Post nails another one. – “Black Lives Manors” reads the headline at the New York Post in an expose of the recent high-dollar real estate-buying binge by the “Marxist” leader of the Black Lives Matter movment, Patrisse Khan Cullors. The BLM founder and leader recently purchased no fewer than
four new homes with a combined value of roughly $3 million, including a $1.4 million barndominium in Topanga Canyon, California.

ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania -- Seven years ago, combat veteran Jack Mook was a hard-nosed Pittsburgh detective who stumbled upon two young brothers who showed up intermittently at the boxing gym where he volunteered. The
boys were living on the edge of despair: Their birth parents had failed them; their foster parents had failed them; and the system had failed them. The "home" the boys lived in was a rat's nest with dog feces, fleas and no beds. The oldest brother's hair was falling out in gobs, and his skin was filled with red blotches. The younger brother wept all of...

Democrats’ Lurch Into Socialism Is Driving Young Cuban American Support For Trump

The Federalist ^
| October 29, 2020 | Helen Raleigh
Young Cuban Americans' embrace of the Republican Party and GOP candidates is one of the most underreported stories in this election cycle. We
are within days of the 2020 election, and winning the Latino vote is extremely important for both parties because, with 32 million eligible voters, Latinos will be the largest ethnic minority in the electorate this year. The Cuban American community is one of the most influential subgroups within the diverse Latino community. Corporate media commonly repeat the narrative that there is a “generational divide” among Cuban Americans: While the older generation that escaped the terror of Fidel...

Florida's Hispanic voters are fleeing the Democratic Party and there's little indication that the trend might reverse post-2020. MIAMI,
Fla. — Democrats are on track to lose Florida in November, and there’s little indication that the Sunshine State will turn reliably bluefor the foreseeable future.As of this writing, RealClearPolitics’ latest aggregate of Florida polls shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by about two points, well within the margin of error for most polls. This time four years ago, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was up by three points and still lost the state’s 29 critical...

The Democrat Lurch Back to the Primitive

| September 1, 2020 | Christopher Chantrill
Back in 2018 I started writing that the left was best understood as a reaction against the modern Double Revolution in science and the modern economy. I
coined the idea that the left was a Great Reaction back to the past. At the time I thought I was being a bit naughty, telling our educated progressive friends that they weren’t progressive at all, but the real reactionaries of the modern world. I made up a maxim: Socialism is a return to slavery; the welfare state is a return to feudalism; identity politics is neo-tribalism; reparations is neo-vengeance; activism a return...

Britain’s Red Alert for Democrats: The Labour Party’s lurch to the left lost the working class.
|

Wall Street Journal ^
| December 13, 2019
As much as Britain’s election Thursday was a victory to Boris Johnson, the vote also dealt a humiliating defeat to Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Not since 1935 has a Labour candidate fallen so flat with voters, and the reasons are a warning to America’s Democrats. The collapse of Labour’s working-class vote
is the main explanation for Mr. Johnson’s win, and the main story of the election. Labour’s “red wall” of districts across the north of England collapsed, with the Tories winning seats so staunchly Labour that the Tories barely campaigned. Some of these areas have voted Labour since before...

Something remarkable just happened in St. Louis that you probably didn’t hear about. The
Church of God in Christ, a seven-million-member black denomination, unanimously passed a historic resolution affirming the value and dignity of every human life and opposing the practice of elective abortion in America. A key excerpt from the Resolution on the Sanctity of Human Life reads: COGIC is one of the largest historically black Protestant denominations, which also include the National Baptist Convention, the National Baptist Convention of America, the Progressive National Convention, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and the Christian...

Early N.H. polling has ‘old white guys’ leading Dem pack as party elders worry about Left-wing lurch

| 2/23/19 | Jon Dougherty
The Democratic Party establishment is about to experience the same kind of internal warfare the GOP faced in 2010 and beyond with the rise of the so-called “Tea Party” movement, and it’s liable to have a deleterious effect on the party in 2020. The
rising “Democratic Socialist” faction has only just begun to flex its muscle, having won a few seats during the November midterms but clearly looking to capitalize on those gains in 2020 and beyond. Its members are feisty, defiant, fiercely suspicious of the Democratic hierarchy, and champing at the bit to shed the last vestiges of political...

Democrats gearing up for a White House race in 2020 (reports say there will be two dozen or more) are sprinting to the left at such a clip that it’s now starting to make Hillary Clinton look like Ronald Reagan. The newest candidate in the field — already being embraced by liberal
CNN, which gave her an hour long “town hall” this week — is Sen. Kamala D. Harris, and hoo boy, is she a doozy. Ms. Harris is backing every radical idea out there, joining forces with the likes of Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Bernard Sanders...

Democrats lurch left on top policies as 2020 primary begins

Democratic presidential contender Julian Castro launched his campaign by pledging support for “Medicare for All,” free universal preschool, a large public investment in renewable energy and two years of free college for all Americans. That wasn’t enough for some of his party’s most liberal members. […] Welcome to the 2020 presidential primary.
Almost no policy is too liberal for Democrats fighting to win over their party’s base, which is demanding a presidential nominee dedicated to pursuing bold action on America’s most pressing challenges. Among two dozen possible candidates, virtually all have embraced universal health care in one form or another....

She stands at the window in a floor-length dress, with a blue headscarf, and looks out at the Mediterranean. A fan hums in the next room. Children
play soccer in the dusty street outside the house. An acacia tree grows crookedly on the hillside. It's been three years and two months since her husband Ammar left her behind in this hut on a hill in northern Lebanon. In the interim, Tabarak has lost almost everything of importance to her. Sometimes her husband sends her photos of himself in Hamburg, of the refugee hostel or the city's pedestrian zone. Tabarak rarely...
