Some of you need to cease the denial and accept the harsh reality that the left hates you. It’s a fact, as much as the liberal gaslight gang and the conserva-sissy weakhearts deny it. You can tell that leftists hate you by the way that leftists tell you that they hate you.Take Sarah Jeong, please – hey, the New York Times was happy to get this bitter creep onboard because of her history of virulent racism. The Times saw her hate as a plus, not a negative, an asset, not a liability. You can’t draw any other conclusion – if you...

President Trump on Saturday renewed his jab at the "elite," saying that his election to the presidency was "driving them crazy." "You are the elite. You're smarter than they are … you've got everything going … the elite? They're more elite than me?" Trump said while addressing a campaign rally crowd in Ohio, where he is seeking to help Republican Troy Balderson ahead of a special election for the House on Tuesday."I have better everything than they have," Trump said to roars from the crowd. "I became president and they didn't," he said to more cheers and applause, for which...

One of President Trump's most vocal critics in the U.S. Senate said Friday that he once cried “tears of rage” over the Trump administration’s rhetoric. U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., made the remark at the Netroots Nation Conference in New Orleans, where other liberal speakers were to include U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. The annual convention drew thousands of liberal activists and offered a chance for Democrats considering presidential runs to win over supporters, the Washington Times reported.

CNN’s Jim Acosta hit back at Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday for saying that attendees at President Trump’s rally were right for heckling the CNN correspondent. “Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night,” Acosta tweeted, adding that the host is “injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press.” “I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail,” he added. The White House correspondent appeared to be responding to Hannity’s comments siding with attendees at a Trump rally on Tuesday, who heckled Acosta. "I’m actually going to give your network...

Former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told CNN’s “State of the Union with Jake Tapper” on Sunday that he does not agree with some of his Democratic colleagues who are calling for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), adding that if when the police get out of hand, “you don’t say, get rid of the police,” you reform the police department. […] “We are, in fact, a nation of immigrants. We know that. We're also a nation of laws, and I do think that Congress has been remiss in not passing comprehensive immigration reform. But it does have...

Well, she’s at it again. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is calling for days of rage. Oh, and she’s sanctioned by God or something. Last week, the California liberal visited the First AME Church in Los Angeles, where she declared that God had sent her on a mission to get Trump (via American Mirror ): Video Wanting to address what people are reading on the “social internet,” she said, “We never dreamed we’d have someone in the White House who was divisive, who could not tell the truth, and who was intent on not making America great again, but taking...

"As we go out there we intend to own August, to own August in terms of having the American people, in a unifying way, recognize that this isn't who we are as a country, to take children away from their parents," Pelosi said at her final press conference ahead of the summer break... "It's going to be an interesting time," Pelosi said. "We intend to own August, own the ground as we go into the 100 days before the election." ... Asked about the increasing calls from House Democrats for a change at the top, Pelosi said it's the least...

<p>Abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement is becoming a litmus test for liberal Democrats. It’s insane. It’s not serious, but it makes the Left look totally unhinged, so grab some popcorn. The calls to abolish this federal law enforcement agency has grown since the child separation issue blew up at the border; families being separated upon arrest for trying to illegally enter the U.S., which is a crime. Also, many a human trafficker feigns family status, hence why adults and children are separated. Obama had the same policy. Yet, with the Trump administration actually trying to enforce federal immigration laws, the lurch to the Left on immigration from liberals has manifested itself with this call to abolish ICE. Immigration and abortion are two of the most explicit examples of how Democrats, liberals, progressives, and other groups that wallow in this left-wing cesspool have moved outside of the mainstream. The whole campaign is nuts, and with it, comes the usual tinges of self-righteousness that’s unavoidable with liberals. But you see, because their cause is just, some think it’s a license to use racist language to accomplish their ends.</p>

Congresswoman Maxine Waters assured CNBC’s John Harwood on Wednesday that the Democratic Party has very few members who are “to the left of the left.” One of President Trump’s staunchest critics says the rise of Democratic Socialists within the party should be of no concern to midterm voters this November. The California lawmaker touted her capitalist credentials while downplaying Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent victory over New York Rep. Joe Crowley. “The Democratic Party is not a socialist party,” she said during CNBC’s Capital Exchange event in Washington. “I just don’t think our party should be identified because we have a few...

If you blinked, you might have missed it. At a speech in Kansas City to the VFW annual convention on Tuesday, President Donald Trump -- amid one of his trademark anti-media rants -- said this (emphasis mine): "Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."I know I keep saying this, BUT: That is an absolutely remarkable thing for any elected leader to say -- especially when that leader is the most powerful person in the country. And I know I keep...

RUSH: So here are Democrats stepping in it again. “House Democrats Pass Resolution Denouncing Trump in Wake of Helsinki.” Have we ever seen such a preposterous farce before in the long history of our nation? This is how desperate the Democrats are to try to make this nonscandal into something they can prove Russia collusion with. Everything else has failed. Now they’re trying to prove collusion because of what happened with Trump and the press conference in Helsinki, so they pass now a resolution denouncing Trump. Let ’em go ahead and service their base. That’s what they’re doing. What they...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) — the official campaign arm of House Democrats — are pushing blatant misinformation in fundraising emails to supporters. “I will NOT allow Putin to set foot in the United States. I need 100,000 signatures to BLOCK his visit and keep our elections safe. I need you to sign before midnight,” Pelosi told Democratic voters in a DCCC fundraising email sent out on Sunday.

Full title: Maxine Waters: Trump Is 'Putin's Apprentice,' Republicans Should Protest Putin Meeting Outside White House Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) accused President Trump of being “Putin’s apprentice” on MSNBC Sunday following the news that Trump will be meeting with the Russian president at the White House in the fall. Waters also claimed that she knew what Putin and Trump discussed during their private meeting in Helsinki, Finland earlier this month. Waters, who has issued dramatic calls for Trump’s impeachment since the beginning of his presidency, said she believes Trump discussed lifting sanctions on Russia during his private meeting with Putin....

In 2016 plurality of respondents said Dems 'generally mainstream' A majority of respondents in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of registered voters said Democratic congressional candidates are out of step with most Americans. Asked whether Democratic candidates' approaches to the issues "are generally in the mainstream of most Americans' thinking, or are generally out of step with most Americans' thinking," 56 percent said they are "out of step" and just one-third said they are "in the mainstream." These figures are a marked swing from July 2016, when only 42 percent of respondents said Democratic congressional candidates were out of...

With radicals preparing drum head trials for Trump, his supporters, the rich, and just about anyone who disagrees with them, Rep. Ryan might want to rethink his desire to be "rich." These moderates appear to be the only Democrats who realize the danger the party is in: But some elected officials in relatively conservative areas say progressives are clueless about what their agenda would mean for Democrats outside major cities and the coasts. "We will be a permanent minority party in this country," said Iowa state Sen. Jeff Danielson, a firefighter who represents an area that saw one of the...

If you’re going to scold your party about taking an ideological turn that displeases you, maybe wait more than four seconds after joining it to do so, no?

I am a strong advocate for holding liberals to the same rules they hold everyone else to. Far too often we see conservatives hammered for something they did or said, even if it’s taken out of context, and hounded from the public stage because an angry liberal mob was pointed in their direction for no other reason than the left’s desire for a scalp. While it is satisfying to claim one of theirs after they claim, or try to claim, one of ours, it’s a sad game that ends with everyone losing.This game is nothing new, but it has gotten...

President Donald Trump’s press conference with Russia’s Vladimir Putin was a debacle. The president went from an anodyne prepared statement to a question-and-answer session that ping-ponged between stunning and appalling (with a bit of emetic thrown in for good measure). Suffice it to say, it was a new low from a chief executive who is redefining the term. But the reaction on Twitter from the foreign-policy establishment was almost as untethered as Trump himself. John Brennan, who served as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency under Obama, tweeted: Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds...

“With respect to John H. Schnatter," the board of directors at Papa John’s says “Papa John” Schnatter will no longer have a work space at the company headquarters in the wake of his latest controversy. On Sunday, Papa John’s International, Inc. issued a press release stating that the company will be terminating a sublease agreement with Schnatter, which had allowed him the use of office space within the building. The decision came following the board’s previous actions toward terminating Schnatter’s “founders agreement,” and removing his likeness from marketing materials after he admitted to using the N-word during a conference call...
