Full Title: Berkeley Dem Nathanial Luffman Arrested for Threatening Rand Paul – Said He Would Leave His Children’s ‘Bowels Splayed Out Across Floor’ The Gateway Pundit has learned that the man who was arrested for making multiple calls threatening Senator Rand Paul was a Democratic Berkeley resident, who used the hashtag #ObamaForLife in some of his threats. Nathanial Blaine Luffman, a devoted Democrat, is originally from Kentucky and left messages for Paul saying that he was going to “gut you like a hog” and leave “your kids bowels splayed out across floor blood spattered on the door as you lay...

There’s a lot of chatter about “The McConnell Rule.” There shouldn’t be, because it’s immaterial. The Senate gets to decide what to do with judicial nominations; everything else is just shouting. In 2016, the Senate was controlled by Republicans. A Democratic president sent that Senate a nomination it didn’t like, and that Senate decided not to act on it... This decision was dressed up by Mitch McConnell as “the Biden Rule.” In 2018, the Senate still gets to decide. Now that Justice Kennedy has retired, the Senate, which is still run by Republicans, will be sent a nominee. If it...

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned President Trump and Republicans against nominating a Supreme Court justice to replace Anthony Kennedy prior to the 2018 election, and demanded they reject any nominee who would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. "[R]eproductive rights for women and countless other protections for middle-class Americans are at stake," Schumer said. He demanded that the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, abide by the so-called Biden Rule when deciding to commence proceedings to confirm a Supreme Court pick. In 1992, then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) gave a speech calling for Congress to delay any prospective...

Former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview published Tuesday that he will not run for president in 2020. “It makes me feel guilty about not wanting to [run for president],” Biden told Josh Rogin of the Washington Post during a wide-ranging interview on U.S.-EU relations under the Trump administration. “But it doesn’t make me want to. I’m not looking to live in the White House, I’ve seen it up close.” “But all kidding aside, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” the 75-year-old added. During a March 2017 event at Colgate University, Biden said he was “fairly...

TEASER: Diamond and Silk skewer the ‘Dummycrats’ in upcoming film June 22, 2018 By Kyle Olson The American Mirror is teaming up with Diamond and Silk to take on the “Dummycrats” this fall. The duo, known as President Trump’s most loyal supporters, will be skewering Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and others in a movie to be released in September. Watch this teaser of what’s to come:

Starbucks Executive Chairman Howard Schultz is preparing to step away from the coffee chain he built into a global behemoth – and stoking speculation about a possible 2020 presidential run. Yet, in the era of real estate magnate-turned-President Donald Trump, Schultz is just one of several business titans whose possible political aspirations might influence the next campaign for the White House. For more than two centuries, most candidates for U.S. president had some public or military service on their resume before mounting a successful bid for the White House. But Trump's election in 2016 has opened the door for an...

‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ director Teddy Kunhardt talks us through the documentary and reveals what the former Presidential candidate thought of it John McCain: For Whom The Bell Tolls is an honest and compelling portrait of the life and career of one of the United States’ most renowned politicians. But arguably the most remarkable aspect of the HBO documentary is that it even exists at all. It was shot in just 7 months when films of this ilk usually take a year and a half, plus there was the added complication that the 81-year-old McCain had just been diagnosed...

Former Vice President Joe Biden ripped President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in a speech endorsing New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) for his third term in Albany. At the New York State Democratic Party convention in Hempstead, Biden told the crowd that the party Trump leads is "not your father's Republican Party." "They are not who we are. They are not who America is," Biden said, claiming that the GOP is sending a "distorted" vision of America "around the world." "That is hurting us," he said. "[With] this phony populism [and] fake nationalism [it's] time to say...

Battling brain cancer at his family ranch in Arizona, 81-year-old Sen. John McCain has been sharing his hopes for the future of the country and reflections on his political life with friends who visit. For former Vice President Joe Biden, McCain's message was a simple one: don't "walk away" from politics, Biden told The New York Times, describing his conversation with the Arizona Republican. Biden has yet to make any announcement about whether he will run in 2020, after declining to run in 2016 following the death of his son, Beau. After visiting McCain last weekend at his ranch, Biden...

Generally I would not refer so strongly to a prior discussion thread if the latest information did not absolutely confirm what was originally suspected. On January 10th, 2017 we discussed “The Anatomy of a Modern Political Smear“, where we connected the dots, as they were happening in-real-time between James Comey, the Obama intelligence community and the media, specifically CNN. {Please See Here}

In the desperate hope that countless photos and videos of former Vice President Joe Biden’s “handsi-ness” with women and children can be wished away, the far-left Politico published a lengthy piece Monday dismissing the problem. The overall piece is a typical overlong, Politico blah-blah-blah about how Biden is the frontrunner to challenge Trump in 2020 and that his real problem is not his “handsi-ness,” but that he is not far enough to the left. Politico’s primary concern is that Biden is “too cozy with Wall Street” and a “septuagenarian white male.”

Biden said, “I’m really hoping some other folks step up. I think we have some really good people.” He added, “I gotta walk away knowing that it is — there is somebody that can do it and can win because we gotta win. We gotta win in 2020.”

It's no secret that former Vice President Joe Biden has, well, let's call it an "issue" with women. There are enough examples out there of Biden's handsy behavior, but here is just a sample: "In this clip, former Vice President Biden uses a candid moment to fondle the chest area of a little girl -- in front of her entire family. Her visible discomfort is extremely obvious. https://t.co/PXZx68KEGe" https://i1.wp.com/thepoliticalinsider.com/content/uploads/2017/03/cropped-tpiIcon.png?fit=270%2C270&ssl=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=134&v=DKVNra5eJro That's creepy. It's Harvey Weinstein-style creepy, in fact. Now that Joe Biden is putting out some serious feelers about running for president, many are expecting his too-friendly behavior with women...

More than 30 years after a relentless campaign of character assassination kept Robert Bork from a seat on the Supreme Court, one of the architects of that attack is belatedly crediting its target for his brilliance. Appearing on the popular liberal podcast Pod Save America on March 28, former Vice President Joe Biden revisited his role in derailing Bork's nomination to the court in 1987 while Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The subject came up when podcast co-host Jon Favreau, who worked previously as a speechwriter for President Obama, alluded to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declining...

The good old sweet days have passed....and are dwindling faster then a sinking anchor falling into the sea for Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, etc. Yep...no heavy duty speaking engagements and no big cash payments. In fact...in the world of today, the Democrat Party has few speaking headliners in massive demand. I wonder why...all of them are losers, that is why. Soon coming is the side show of Attorney General, Loretta Lynch as she tries to cover her butt, relative her secret "tarmac" meeting with Bill Clinton, rebutting the words of Ex-FBI...

Vice President Joe Biden blasted what he called "the prostitution of the Second Amendment" by gun rights activists at the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday. He made the remarks while participating in wide-ranging discussion with the university's president, Amy Gutmann. "I think the Second Amendment is being badly interpreted, it's not consistent with what our founders intended," said Biden when discussing gun policy. He added, "What's happened here is the nation as a whole has decided it can no longer, in my view, continue to turn a blind eye to the prostitution of the Second Amendment here and can no...

Those who support the idea of a universal basic income are “class clueless,” former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday. Universal basic income, a program that would guarantee a minimum income for all Americans, has been gaining popularity as job displacement due to advances in technology continue. A recent Gallup poll found 48 percent of Americans support a universal basic income for workers who are replaced by artificial intelligence. But Biden, who is rumored to be eyeing a presidential run in 2020, said he does not believe that’s the way “America is built.” Instead, it’s a concept...

Former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly warned House Democrats that President Donald Trump will win a second term if Democrats do not take back the House in November. “If we don’t win the House, Trump is there for eight years,” Biden reportedly warned the “stunned” members of the House Democrats’ Blue Collar Caucus last week, according to a Politico report over the weekend. Biden reportedly added: “I’m serious. So, no pressure.” Democrats are craving getting subpoena power to endlessly investigate the Trump administration. Some Democrats—like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)—are hoping that they can take back the House to start impeachment...

‘Tough Guy’ Joe Biden Backs Away from Trump Challenge in 2020 "Asked whether he would challenge Trump in the 2020 election, Biden said, “Honest to God I don’t know … I have to be able to stand in front of a mirror and look in the mirror and know that if I don’t run it’s not because I’m afraid of losing, it’s not because I don’t want to take on the responsibility, it’s because there’s somebody better to do it and/or because emotionally I’m not positioned to be all in. And so the jury’s still out.” More at link:
