Biden campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump is elected again, “our children’s ability to live in a free world” will be in jeopardy. Landrieu said, “What’s so critically important to remember is that elections are about choices. It’s about the past versus the future. It’s about values, and it’s critically important. When President Biden ran for office, he said, ‘I’m going to help restore the soul of the nation. I’m going to invest in the American people. I’m going to lower costs. I’m going to impact people’s freedoms.’ And he’s bringing...

Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that if former President Donald Trump was reelected, he would “hand the keys over” to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Slotkin said, “I think that it’s hard again to explain these big things, but, you know, best guess is that the Ukrainians could run out of ammunition in the spring. Our best guess is they will run out of capabilities to protect places like Kyiv from ballistic missiles probably by the summer. You should expect massive refugee flows, the grain deal that we have on the table to continue to get...

Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that “we should all be scared” because if former President Donald Trump is elected again, our freedoms are at stake. Harris said, “I think most people don’t think of it in the context of democracy so much as freedom. The freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body, the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride, the freedom to be able to be free from gun violence, these are fundamental freedoms that are at stake right now.” She added, “We’ve got a guy right...

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, a former United Nations (U.N.) ambassador, vowed on Wednesday to defund the U.N. “as much as possible” if elected to the Oval Office, but stopped short of saying the U.S. should withdraw from the international organization.

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” show regular Donny Deutsch offered a panicked warning to viewers about the possibility of a Trump victory in 2024. According to Deutsch, if former President Donald Trump were successful in his bid to reclaim the White House, freedom would be “over.” Deutsch also said that the program he was on, “Morning Joe,” could cease to exist. He said those potential consequences raised the stakes for the 2024 election.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that left-wing academic Cornel West seeking the Green Party’s presidential nomination was a “threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States.” Carville said, “He’s obviously an accomplished scholar, academic. He seemed to be a very charming man and he’s also a menace, a threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States. and I say that because look what Ralph Nader, who’s directly responsible for the election of George W. Bush which brought about the horrific Iraq war and the horrific economic downturn we had among...

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if he were elected president that he would pardon former President Donald Trump if convicted in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Anchor Dana Bash said, “So before you heard any details of the allegations in the Trump indictment, you put out a statement saying if you become president, you would pardon Donald Trump on day one. Now you’ve seen the allegations, and you’ve seen that he stored highly classified information like nuclear secrets and others in unsecured areas of his country club. Given everything that you’ve seen,...

Andrew Yang, a businessman who is running for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that his proposal to provide every American with a $1,000 guaranteed monthly income would help "solve the problems that got Donald Trump elected in 2016." "To me the main driver of his victory was that we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the swing states he needed to win," Yang said.

The accomplishment realized by the election of Donald Trump last night, was that the Republic was not lost. This is for naught should the hot iron lie unstruck, and the swamp is fester undrained. Do it, and the 21st century will be an affirmation of our "shining city on a hill:" global leadership, peace, prosperity and justice. Do it not, and America may yet be subverted into a force for evil non-pareil. The Supreme Court must be restored to once again uphold the law - the intent of the law - under the Constitution - the intent of the Constitution....

A large number of non-citizens cast ballots in U.S. elections and it’s possible that the illegal votes were responsible for President Obama’s 2008 victory, according to an in-depth academic study that confirms Judicial Watch’s assessment that foreign nationals have helped Democrats steal elections. Non-citizens tend to favor Democrats and Obama won more than 80% of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 sample gathered by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), a large-scale academic survey project operated by teams of researchers from across the country. In fact, enough ineligible voters cast ballots in 2008 to conceivably account for Democratic victories...

Saw this last night on Fox and had such a good laugh, I feel obliged to pass it along today. There’s no way to prove he said it, but as Megyn Kelly’s quick to show with archived audio, that quote is well in line with the kind of crap Obama was telling himself and the rest of the electorate circa 2007. The most famous summation of his I-am-the-change approach to problem-solving is this one from Andrew Sullivan, written right around the time that audio was recorded: What does he offer? First and foremost: his face. Think of it as the...

SEATTLE — People are used to liberals running things around here. But nobody reckoned with Kshama Sawant. Ms. Sawant, a 41-year-old economics teacher and immigrant from India, took a left at liberal and then kept on going — all the way to socialism. **SNIP** But Kshama Sawant (pronounced SHAH-mah sah-WANT) heartily embraces the label. Ask her about almost any problem facing America today, and her answer will probably include the “S” word as the best and most reasonable response. Socialism is the path to real democracy, she says. Socialism protects the environment. Socialism is the best hope for young people...

<p>Argentine Jorge Bergoglio was elected pope on Wednesday and chose the papal name Francis, becoming first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium.</p> <p>A stunned-looking Bergoglio shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter's Square, marveling that the cardinals had had to look to "the end of the earth" to find a bishop of Rome.</p>

Defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel stated Iran has an “elected, legitimate government” and pointed out its membership in the United Nations, responding to a question Wednesday by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R., Ga.) about why he would consider negotiations with Iran in light of its terrorist connections: HAGEL: Well, let’s start with a specific question on a vote, regarding designating the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. You recall, because you were there, there were 22 senators who voted against that. The effort against it — the main point made on the floor of the Senate came from Senator Jim Webb....

So claims the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which just concluded a five-year study on the American public’s knowledge of its foundational legal document. The bad news: the general public gets an F, with just a 49% average on the 33-question civics test. The worse news: those who identified themselves as public officeholders scored an average of five points worse than the general public: The survey asks 33 basic civics questions, many taken from other nationally recognized instruments like the U.S. Citizenship Exam. It also asks 10 questions related to the U.S. Constitution. So what did we find? Well, to put it...
