After snubbing Tara Reade, the woman who made a very credible sexual assault allegation against His Fraudulency Joe Biden, the left-wing Times Up organization has decided to turn on Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) in calling for an investigation of the credible sexual misconduct allegations made against the disgraced governor by a former staffer. Earlier this week, Lindsey Boylan, Cuomo’s deputy secretary for economic development for a little more than three years, starting in March of 2015, added troubling details to her December 2020 allegation that Cuomo “sexually harassed me for years.” The details include allegations of outright harassment and a...

President Trump's fulfillment of campaign promises resulted in increased support among minorities, including from Hispanics in Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas. In Starr County, Texas, which is 96% Hispanic, for example, Joe Biden won by only 5 points, a swing of more than 25 points from the 2016 election, noted Republican activist Rachel Campos-Duffy in an article for The Federalist. Nearby Zapata County, Texas, which is 85% Hispanic and historically Democrat, has turned Republican, increasing its support for Trump by 15% since 2016. So how can legacy media continue to insist that Trump is racist?

Scores of conservatives and I have said for many years that Republicans (not conservatives – they're not the same) would rather lose elections and become the permanent minority party than have to throw-in with us trailer park, constitutional rabble. And it's true. The spineless, stand-for-nothing Republican Party really does believe that we true conservatives are an inferior breed. Not that we're necessarily bad people, it's that we have conviction, we stand for something, have principles, values and won't compromise them at the drop of a hat. In other words, we just don't get how things are done, etc. Then I...

JOHN BERMAN: It’s Christmas eve, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the story. So, if you are unemployed this morning, we can’t tell you if you’re going to get that next relief check. If you’re a service member, that pay raise, maybe not. But if you lied to the Mueller investigation, or are related to Jared Kushner: Merry Freaking Christmas! And who knows what else is in store for the next 27 days? This political acid trip that kicks off this morning in Mar-a-Lago. Overnight, President Trump pardoned his longtime allies, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, both of whom...

Going forward into 2021, it will be interesting to see just how the left plans to deal with the pseudo-pandemic. The way I see it, they have two options. Well, I guess actually three, but the third is a non-starter, which is coming clean and admitting to everyone that they lied about the severity of COVID for most of the population and they purposely inflated both the contraction and death rates to gain an election advantage. The other two are 1: Now that a Democrat is president (assuming this ends up being the case), COVID will magically begin to lose...

Touted as the first big televised awards event, the 72nd Emmy Awards aired on September 20 on ABC. The host of the virtual event was late night show host Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel's jokes and bits in front of no live audience were cringe-inducing. Two notable instances came when his opening monologue took a hit at MAGA rallies and when banter with actor Anthony Anderson included a demand for Kimmel to shout "Black Lives Matter!" so "Mike Pence can hear it."

A leftover from yesterday’s official campaign debut. I realize she and Biden need to make some sort of economic attack on Trump, as that’s his strongest credential for reelection, but do they really have nothing better on the shelf than this embarrassing talking point? Harris was so proud of it that she repeated it in a tweet, where it was predictably greeted with all manner of “yasss kweeen” replies by liberal zombies. Sen. Kamala Harris on Trump and the economy: “Like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground.”

Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., slammed former President Barack Obama for the wordplay in his eulogy for Congressman John Lewis, saying he took the nation back to the segregated 60s. While Obama couldn’t summon enough courage to speak President Trump’s name, there was no mistaking his criticism of the president in what sounded more like a stump speech than a eulogy. As smug and arrogant as ever, not to mention divisive, the former president used the occasion to push the myth of voter suppression. “Even as we sit here, there are those in power who are...

When asked how many trillion dollars should be spent on the latest coronavirus relief bill – the Republicans want $1 trillion, the Democrats want $3.4 trillion – Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is living on “Fantasy Island” with her costly, deficit-hiking plan. At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, CNS News asked Senator Barrasso, “Nancy Pelosi has said that the $1 trillion HEALS Act proposed by Senate Republicans for COVID relief isn’t enough and instead proposed the $3.4 trillion HEROES Act. How many trillion should Congress spend on COVID relief? The senator responded, “Well, the problem...

The country group Lady Antebellum announced in June that it would change its name to “Lady A,” a move that upset Seattle blues singer Anita White, who has been using the name for decades. “I began using the name back in the late ’80s,” Lady A told The Kyle Olson Show this week. Lady Antebellum, in an attempt to shed its name’s link to slavery, simply adopted “Lady A.” “This is what happens when privilege wants to be woke,” Lady A said, “but really doesn’t know how.” “In your being woke, you can’t go from Lady Antebellum to Lady A...

Well, if you ever want to see linguistic gymnastics, just take a look at this USA Today’s fact check of the claim that the Democrats didn’t create the Ku Klux Klan or start the American Civil War. Are they really just low on material over there? Because this wasn’t even said by a major politician. It was an Instagram user. Yeah, so for USA Today to pull out the fact check guns on this is a tell-tale sign that the Left is fully aware of their racist past. And given how left-wing mob violence has grown and ‘woke’ crybabies taking...

In the face of violent protests throughout the nation, the rallying cry by many perpetrating the mayhem is for police to be defunded or disbanded. The people of Portland, Oregon, had a brief glimpse of that reality, as police were forced to ignore all but emergency calls after law enforcement was tied up responding to violent rioting over the Independence Day holiday weekend. Public Information Officer Lt. Tina Jones provided hourly video updates on the situation on the Portland Police Bureau Twitter feed overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning, including announcing that the city would not be able to respond...

How did CBS Evening News celebrate Earth Day? By sharing the ugly sentiment that humans were not needed. That’s exactly what reporter John Blackstone suggested in his Wednesday report touting how the deadly Chinese coronavirus, which had killed more than 47,000 Americans and left 22 million unemployed, was keeping the country stuck inside. “Tonight, we mark the 50th anniversary of Earth day. There were supposed to be big celebrations around the world, but instead, people are celebrating inside and they're celebrating cleaner air and cleaner water,” boasted anchor Norah O’Donnell as she led into the segment. Blackstone kicked off his...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker Pelosi released a joint statement Monday morning demanding that Republicans stop “political posturing” on COVID-19 small business relief legislation, after the pair of Democratic leaders successfully blocked additional funding for the bipartisan Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) last week: The delay of additional funding, as the original funding runs out as small businesses begin to see relief, is at the hands of Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, who torpedoed the bill when their list of unrelated demands were not met. Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), proposed a clean bill...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made it clear this would be the Senate's last opportunity to pass the bill before they go on recess until after Easter break.

Saul Alinsky may have written his Rules for Radicals to give leftists an advantage in the battle for America’s soul, but that doesn’t mean that the rules aren’t tactically wise. On Friday, Gun Owners of America (“GOA”) decided to put into play several of those rules when it asked to have Sen. Chuck Schumer “red-flagged” as a potentially dangerous person. GOA’s request focuses on the fact that, on Wednesday, while speaking to protesters at a Planned Parenthood rally outside of the Supreme Court, Schumer sent a direct message to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh: I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I...

The Vermont democratic socialist went on his usual line about how socialism is awesome. He railed against what he sees as socialism for the rich, calling out Donald Trump for getting hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks for his business ventures. Sanders also railed against the welfare state expenditures for Walmart’s workers because the Walton family pays what the Left sees as “starvation wages.” And then Bloomberg torpedoed it in a couple of sentences. “What a wonderful country we have. The best-known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss...

Making good on her promise to take her environmental activism back to Los Angeles when she closed up shop in Washington, D.C., Jane Fonda and friends held a Fire Drill Fridays rally and march Friday. Her friends included actor Joaquin Phoenix who is creating headlines of his own recently for his outspoken climate alarmism. She is still wearing the red coat. Fonda is back home in Los Angeles to film Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. She was arrested a few times in Washington, though not enough arrests to garner a longer than an overnight stay in jail because of her filming...

With the success of Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential candidacy and the power that four far-left freshmen have wielded in Congress, socialism has become a major issue in 2020. But country rock superstar Charlie Daniels points out in his latest Soap Box column that socialism in all its forms has never worked. "Not Karl Marx's version, not Fidel Castro's version, not Bernie Sanders version, not the insane version Alexandria 'Cookie' Ocasio-Cortez is pushing, not Elizabeth Warren's Pollyanna ramblings that will probably include free pedicures before it's over, nobody, no how, no way has ever been successful at socialism," he writes. Nevertheless,...

The party constantly lecturing America on the importance of diversity is set to have an all-white debate stage in the upcoming Democratic presidential debate scheduled for Dec. 19th. "Diversity is a strength!" doesn't seem to be resonating much with the Democratic Party these days. The candidates who currently qualify for the upcoming debate are Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar, as well as South Bend Mayor Peter Buttigieg and hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer. The best part is watching the Democratic candidates squirm to explain why the process has weeded out any people of color two months before...
