The Atlantic published a report on Thursday where the publication claimed that Trump “rejected the idea” of visiting Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, not just because of rain, but “he did not believe it important to honor American war dead,” the publication cited four anonymous sources. “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” Trump allegedly said, according to the publication. He later reportedly said in another conversation that over 1,800 Marines who died at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I were “suckers.” Citing three anonymous sources, the Atlantic reported that Trump...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee The Atlantic story on @realDonaldTrump is total BS. I was actually there and one of the people part of the discussion - this never happened. I have sat in the room when our President called family members after their sons were killed in action and it was heart-wrenching... Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack.

Nice little country you got there. Wouldn't wanna see nuthin' happen to it, like violence in the streets and a constitutional crisis. So better give Biden a landslide—capiche? That's the very unsubtle message the Washington Post sent readers on Thursday by posting a column by Rosa Brooks, head of the so-called "Transition Integrity Project." The supposed goal of the project was to game out various election scenarios. And—surprise!—the only one in which things go smoothly is if Biden wins a landslide. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

We wanted to know: What’s the worst thing that could happen to our country during the presidential election? President Trump has broken countless norms and ignored countless laws during his time in office, and while my colleagues and I at the Transition Integrity Project didn’t want to lie awake at night contemplating the ways the American experiment could fail, we realized that identifying the most serious risks to our democracy might be the best way to avert a November disaster. So we built a series of war games, sought out some of the most accomplished Republicans, Democrats, civil servants, media...

A task force commissioned by the Washington, D.C., government has recommended renaming, relocating or adding context to dozens of monuments, schools, parks and buildings because of their namesakes' participation in slavery or racial oppression. Among the targets are the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. Some of the proposals in the report released Tuesday are definite non-starters, as many of the most prominent monuments and statues stand on federal land, outside D.C. government control. Still, the recommendations have already prompted fierce reactions amid an ongoing national debate over America’s racial history. “As long as President Trump is in the White House,...

s their preferred candidate crashes in national polls and the race tightens to a dead heat in Joe Biden’s must-win states, NeverTrump “conservatives” are once again taking their marching orders from Democrats. The death, destruction, and mayhem besieging Democratic-run cities across the country, NeverTrump dutifully recites, is all Donald Trump’s fault. Team Biden crafted the inane talking points to deflect concerns that the violence in cities such as Portland and Kenosha rapidly was backfiring on Democrats; scenes of angry mobs attacking Trump supporters, including Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and his wife, leaving the White House late Thursday night after the...

Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin said the Republican Party under President Donald Trump’s leadership had become the party “of white vigilanteism of white supremacy,” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Reidout.” Rubin said, “Today Joe Biden walked out there confidently, and he slammed Donald Trump for being the cause of mayhem, the cause of violence, the cause of unnecessary deaths from COVID. He did exactly what he’s supposed to do, which is to hold Trump accountable and say, you’re the president, this isn’t about a Biden America, this is Trump America right now. What’s more, he dared Trump to...

Abby Johnson’s language at the RNC might have been unnerving. But in a society that can’t make up its mind about what lives matter, what else can she do? Washington Post gender columnist Monica Hesse, in her Aug. 26 criticism of pro-life activist Abby Johnson’s recent speech at the Republican National Convention, chose a curious word in her description of abortion. “Johnson had to describe abortion as a horror show because the alternative would have been too banal to achieve the effect she desired,” Hesse wrote. Abortions, Hesse says, are categorically banal.Banality, Merriam-Webster tells us, is “something that lacks originality,...

Professors have asked President Donald Trump's alma mater to investigate his admittance to the university decades ago based on "new evidence" revealed by his niece. Eric Orts and five other faculty members have renewed their request that the University of Pennsylvania to look into Trump's transfer into the school in 1966 after his niece Mary Trump claimed in her recent book that he had paid someone else to take his SAT exam, reported the Washington Post.

by Greg Reynolds Just moments before the President was about to speak Thursday evening, a leftist mob of so-called "protesters" surrounding the White House assaulted an elderly couple walking on the street nearby. And D.C. Metro police officers stood by on a nearby sidewalk and did absolutely nothing. Protesters followed and heckled the elderly man and woman — who was wearing a “Trump 2020” t-shirt. “Get the f**k out!” a protester shouted through a megaphone at the couple. “Why?” the man can be heard responding. A female protester could be seen running at the man and pushing him. The man...

Yesterday, Joe Biden announced that he won’t travel to Wisconsin to accept the Democratic Party nomination. Yes, the man who wants to be president is using coronavirus as an excuse to not travel at all now. I bring that up to make a prediction. Bonchie(bonchieredstate(twitter response to Pager below) He's not gonna debate, guys. Tyler Pager(tylerpager twitters) SCOOP: Joe Biden is no longer traveling to Milwaukee to accept the Democratic nomination.

Becki Falwell broke her silence Tuesday on allegations of an extramarital affair with a Miami pool attendant while denying claims that her husband, Jerry Falwell Jr., liked “to watch.” Her comments come amid her husband’s resignation as the head of Liberty University after a provocative photo and revelations of his wife's affair roiled the evangelical school. In an interview with The Washington Post, Becki admitted that she did have an affair, calling it embarrassing and humbling. “I wish Christians and people would be as forgiving as Christ was,” she said.

The Hard Facts on COVID-19 Science Denial In a Washington Post op-ed titled “More Republican Casualties From Trump’s Coronavirus Denial,” columnist Jennifer Rubin claims that “red states” — specifically Texas, Arizona and Arkansas — are “paying the price” for their “arrogant and reckless disregard of expert advice.In concert with Rubin, multitudes of reporters and commentators have declared that Republican governors have worsened the effects of COVID-19 by “denying science” and reopening “too early.” Meanwhile, they have praised Democratic governors, like Andrew Cuomo of New York and Phil Murphy of New Jersey, for their handling of the pandemic.By misusing anecdotes and...

“Blood from people who recover from coronavirus could provide a treatment,” reported the Washington Post on March 27, just a couple weeks after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Just over a week later, the Washington Post reported again that while there was no vaccine yet for COVID-19, “we do have one potentially promising treatment to help people infected with the coronavirus: infusions of antibody-rich plasma from other patients who have had the disease and recovered.”A couple months later, the Washington Post again touted the potential of blood plasma, also called convalescent plasma, in treating the virus. “A...

Together, the men had shipped crates of fraudulent votes back to New York. But their scheme was over. Wood reported the operation to authorities. Ferry’s office was searched, and on the morning of Oct. 27, 1864 — less than two weeks before the election — he and Donahue stood trial before a military commission.

Has President Trump just eaten Joe Biden's lunch? Sure looks that way based on multiple indicators flashing pro-Trump signals in the wake of the Democratic National Convention. Sure, the leftist press is reporting that Biden's favorability numbers have notched up in the wake of his curiously gaffe-less convention speech, but it's thin gruel. Fact is, that's the only thing they have. But if you look mostly on the right column of the front page of RealClearPolitics, it's pretty clear the trend is President Trump's friend. Apparently the artifice and over-processed convention infomercial, with its many technical sleights of hand (see here and here), didn't fool the voters. And...

If none is so zealous as the convert, none is so hateful as the defector. Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy today, Never Trumper Tom Nichols today epitomized that hatred of his former party, the GOP. Guest-host Jonathan Capehart had assembled a panel of Never Trumpers to discuss the future of the party. Here's how Nichols, now a member of the Trump-hating Lincoln Project, expressed this violent death wish for the GOP: We [Never Trumpers] all have a sentimental attachment to the Republican party. We all loved Old Yeller. But at some point you have to take Old Yeller behind the...

Saturday broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy” featured commentary from Brittany Packnett Cunningham, a member of former President Barack Obama’s “21st-century policing task force,” about the GOP’s decision to feature Patricia and Mark McCloskey, the St. Louis homeowners who exercised their Second Amendment rights to defend their homes earlier this summer, at the upcoming Republican National Convention. Host Jonathan Capehart asked Cunningham what she made of the “felonious couple,” referring to the McCloskey couple, being featured at the RNC. Cunningham said her interpretation was one that President Donald Trump was readying a “mutiny” if he loses the November presidential election.

There is probably no one in Congress more openly opposed to President Donald Trump than Maxine Waters. We have already seen that she has called for Trump's impeachment. Therefore when even Waters states there is not yet any evidence at this time of Trump-Russia collusion, that is certainly significant. That is why it is astonishing that Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart left that significant admission made during his own podcast off his May 9 column about it.
