With midterms rapidly approaching, Dem flip-flopping in overdrive Biden says Fetterman’s wife will be ‘great lady in the Senate’ Biden bristles when reporter asks why Dem candidates are ducking president Shawshank Fetterman: Dem Senate candidate says he thinks of movie when deciding about freeing criminals In the race to be senator from Pennsylvania, voters must decide between Dr. Mehmet Oz . . . or Gisele Barreto Fetterman. Oh, Gisele isn’t on the ballot. But considering how much she runs interference for her candidate husband, John Fetterman, we should wonder who actually will be running the show. Fetterman had a severe...

President Biden raised eyebrows Thursday when he said that Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s wife would be a “great lady in the Senate” — appearing to imply that the Democrat would be unable to serve due to his poor health. “John, thank you very much for running, I really do appreciate it,” Biden said at an event in Pittsburgh. “And Gisele, you’re going to be a great, great lady in the Senate.” Fetterman had a stroke in the same week that he won the May 17 Democratic Senate primary and continues to experience health issues, though he and his campaign...

Kim Yo Jong Is Ready to Become the First Woman Dictator in Modern History Kim Jong Un’s little sister has emerged as North Korea’s most outspoken attack dog, securing her place as a possible successor to the leadership SEOUL—The star of the younger sister of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has risen so fast and high in the country’s ruling firmament in 2020 as to make her appear as a stand-in for big brother if not his rival for power. At 32, four years younger than Jong Un, Kim Yo Jong has made her presence known through shockingly tough...

President Obama has led America into an accelerating downward spiral. Destination: Argentina. Last Friday’s calamitous jobs report was just a signpost on the way. Argentina enjoyed the world’s fourth highest per capita GDP in 1929, on par with the U.S. at the time. But then the nation lost its way through its embrace of a leftist, union allied government, which took control of the economy and imposed wildly irresponsible taxes, spending, deficits and debt. After World War II, the hugely popular Juan Peron came to power and institutionalized the madness. It has been all downhill for Argentina ever since. Sound...

A group of British and American banks have been threatened with legal action by the Argentine government for advising and writing research reports about companies involved in the Falkland Islands’ £1.6bn oil industry. In what amounts to the start of a new trade war between the UK and Argentina, the banks - understood to include the Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays Capital and Goldman Sachs - have been warned they face criminal and civil action in Argentine courts. The threats were made in a series of letters sent to as many as 15 banks by the Argentine embassy in London...

America is heading down the road to socialism - and ruin. Numerous proposals have been enacted to reverse the economic downturn. First, in the spring of 2008 came the $180 billion stimulus program. Then, the 2008 summer $345 billion housing bailout. This was followed by the 2008 fall $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Now, the House and Senate have passed a nearly $800 billion stimulus package. Hence, more than $2 trillion will have been spent in a futile attempt to revive the economy. We are imposing upon our children and grandchildren the burdensome costs of our addiction to big...

Eva Peron was called the Spiritual Leader of the Nation of Argentina. She grew up in a province of Buenos Aires and then in the village of Pampas. Her father left the family, leaving the five children in a severe state of poverty. She then lived in the poorest areas. She then met Juan Peron, who had joined the Argentine Army, when after an earthquake in San Juan in which six thousand people were killed and Peron was raising money to aid the victims, Juan organized an artistic festival and fundraiser and Juan met Eva. She came from humble means....

Two Latin American Babies Saved from Abortion by their Governments "Hard Cases" rejected as excuse for killing the unborn By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman LATIN AMERICA, September 5, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) --Two abortions were prevented by government action in two different Latin American countries last week. In Argentina, a judge issued an order preventing the mother of a unnamed mentally handicapped girl from obtaining an abortion for her child. The girl, who is 19 years old, was reportedly raped by someone close to the family, and doesn't fully understand her situation. When her mother discovered the pregnancy, she took her child to a...

CASH TO HILLARY CONTINUES FLOWING IN Q2, SECRET DOCUMENT SHOWS **World Exclusive** And the money kept rolling in from every side... Numbers from a top-secret spreadsheet show the former first lady and senator from New York on track to exceed money she raised in the first quarter, over $27 million, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned! But where are the big bucks coming from? A secret spreadsheet smuggled out of the campaign, that includes all of Clinton's fundraising activity in the second quarter, shows continued generosity from lobbyists. Just this morning, Clinton held 'issues breakout sessions' specifically aimed at lobbyist...

Elections: The rise of female candidates in upcoming elections around the world is being hyped as progress. But these are hardly Margaret Thatchers on the hustings. It's more like an Evita Peron revival. The candidacies of three women — all of them in lead positions — are particularly visible. The media are touting them as political breakthroughs, which implies that some kind of conspiracy has kept women out of high office. Go tell that to Thatcher or Golda Meir or Michelle Bachelet. That, however, hasn't stopped Hillary Clinton from comparing herself to Thatcher on one of her first campaign stops....

(02-08) 09:45 PST WASHINGTON D.C. -- A political odd couple, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and White House spokesman Tony Snow, today slammed critics of Pelosi's bid to use a government plane that can fly her nonstop between Washington and her home district in San Francisco. "This is a silly story, and I think it's been unfair to the speaker,'' Snow told reporters. E-mail Edward Epstein at eepstein@sfchronicle.com.

Critics charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is abusing the perks of power by asking for a jumbo military jet with sleeping accommodations for her flights across the country. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon agreed to provide the speaker, who is second in the line of presidential succession, with a military plane for added security during trips back home. Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small commuter-sized Air Force jet. Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district without stopping to refuel. Some sources are claiming that Pelosi...

Remember when all then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich wanted was to use the front steps of Air Force One? That didn't work out, thanks to Bill Clinton's aides - but in retrospect it seems that the taxpayers never had it so good. Now the new speaker, Democrat Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, is demanding her own personal Pentagon-provided jet. Who's to get the tab? That's right: You. The speaker has decided that she needs a personal shuttle between Washington, D.C., and her home out on the Left Coast. Historically, House speakers flew commercial. Then, after 9/11, Speaker Dennis Hastert cited security...

Argentina`s first couple, a power pair often compared to Bill and Hillary Clinton, won`t say whether it will be a his or hers candidacy in this year`s presidential election. President Nestor Kirchner boasts soaring approval ratings amid an economic recovery. His wife, Sen. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is also popular — and unlike Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, she established her own political career long before her husband became president. With both Kirchners doing well in the polls, they`ve been floating the idea that she should run to succeed him while he`s still in office. Cristina Kirchner flew off without her...

Juan Peron was an Argentinian president who was a dictator who Fascist tendencies from 1946-1955 and 1972-1974, when he died. He was a soldier originally who in a coup became Secretary of Labor in 1943, then he went to prison, because some military personals feared he was getting powerful in 1945, which he goes to jail. Then in October 17th, a large rally occurs calling for the release of Juan Peron, which he is released. He marries Maria Eva Duarte, who becomes Evita Peron. This was Juan Peron's second marriage. His first wife died of cancer. He is elected in...

Thursday, Nov. 15, 2001 10:30 a.m. EST Former New York Congressman John LeBoutillier noted this week there's a big difference between the way President Reagan reacted when a police officer in his entourage was injured, and the treatment accorded to Westchester County cop Ernest Dymond by Sen. Hillary Clinton. Officer Dymond was hurt on Oct. 14 when a van carrying Sen. Clinton blew past an airport security checkpoint. The injuries sent him to the emergency room and more than a month later he remains unable to return to work. (See Hillary's Car Mistaken for Terrorist Vehicle.) But the sidelined cop...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is staking out centrist positions on values issues that helped decide last year's presidential election, positioning herself to the right of her party's base on abortion, faith-based initiatives and immigration. In the past few weeks, the New York Democrat has embraced the role of religion in addressing social ills, decried abortion as "sad, even tragic" and complained about the influx of illegal aliens — all stances that run counter to liberal party leaders, but which are popular among voters. "I think what we're seeing is, at least rhetorically, the attempt of the ultimate makeover," said Gary...
