Elizabeth Warren clenched an endorsement from the Working Families Party last week, but new revelations emerged Monday that show the think tank her daughter heads donated $45,000 to the progressive political party ahead of the endorsement. Amelia Warren Tyagi is the chairwomen of Demos, and the donation to the Working Families Party in 2018 coincided with her mother's then-impending decision to run for president. Even though the two progressive groups were founded just two years apart, in 2000 and 1998, last year marked the first time Demos donated to the minor political party. According to a 2018 tax filing from...

Dear Children, I’m sorry adults have frightened you about climate change and how it might affect your future. You might be less afraid if you knew some facts that adults intentionally do not explain to you. I’ll tell you here. The news was once a source of real information, or so we thought. But in the modern world, the news people discovered they can make more money by presenting scary news regardless of whether it is true or not. Today, much of the news on the right and the left is opinion that is meant to scare you, not inform...

**SNIP** Taking questions from reporters following a town hall event in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire, the Massachusetts Democrat was asked if she would allow her vice president’s child to serve on the board of a foreign company if she were president. Warren quickly answered, “no.” When asked why, she said, in a rare moment where she appeared flustered: “I don’t know. I have to go back and look at the details.” The "details" to which Warren was referring are from the two ethics plans she's unveiled to tackle corruption in government. Her campaign later clarified to...

@MittRomney @ The Atlantic Festival on why he's the only GOPer voicing concern over Trump's call: "I think it’s very natural for people to look at circumstances and see them in the light that’s most amenable to their maintaining power, and doing things to preserve that power”

Issued on: September 25, 2019 InterContinental New York Barclay New York, New York 4:28 P.M. EDT PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. Thank you. Well, thank you all for being here. We’ve had a tremendous three days in New York, at the United Nations. I want to thank the Secretary-General. It’s been really incredible what’s been taking place.

The — we met very,...

Baylor University, a Baptist university in Texas, has arranged to have an "equity officer" investigate the motivations behind Young Americans for Freedom's decision to host conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on campus in November. According to a press release from the Baylor chapter of YAF, Gamma Alpha Ypsilon (GAY), an unofficial gay rights student group, is responsible for pushing the university to hold meetings about campus speakers. GAY was denied official charter status earlier this year following a May decision by the Board of Regents to uphold a ban on "advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to...

Political (in)correctness at its best.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made a rare admission on Wednesday night that former Vice President Joe Biden 'absolutely' engaged in Quid Pro Quo with Ukraine but insisted it wasn't for 'personal advantage ...

Hillary Clinton is an unwitting “MAGA” voter machine for President Trump according to Juanita Broaddrick. The woman who has claimed for decades that former President Bill Clinton raped her in 1978 is not shy about sparring with the Clinton family on Twitter. Her latest social-media jab came after Mrs. Clinton claimed Mr. Trump is a “clear and present danger” to the free world. “The president of the United States has betrayed our country,” the Democrat tweeted Wednesday in reference to Mr. Trump’s now public phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “That’s not a political statement — it’s a harsh...

If Democrats capture the White House in 2020, the policies that created the disease-ridden tent slums taking over Los Angeles and San Francisco will start heading your way. Presidential hopeful Liz Warren insists that it’s wrong to ban living on the streets and in public parks. Bernie Sanders is calling for a 3% cap on annual rent hikes, the kind of poisonous rent-control law that deters new housing construction and worsens homelessness. As for Joe Biden, expect him to stick by the Obama administration’s policy that living on the street is a civil right. Never mind the harm street-dwellers inflict...

The look on Greta Thunberg’s face when Donald Trump breezed past her in a UN corridor this week was pure hatred. She looked as if she would like to strangle the president with her bare hands, although she has never met him. This is not a healthy emotion for a 16-year-old.

The now-released transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s prez, Volodymyr Zelensky, shows just why Americans have so little faith in the news media. Turns out, the document shows none of the Trump abuses suggested in press accounts over the past few days — distortions that have already triggered Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “official impeachment inquiry.” Reports claimed Trump made a “promise” to “a foreign leader that was so disturbing it prompted the filing of a formal complaint,” as Vanity Fair reported.

What a difference a day could have made! Imagine if Nancy Pelosi had held her impeachment fire for 24 hours. Then she would have had the transcript of President Trump’s call with the president of Ukraine. Even a quick read would have told her it was not as advertised. She would have learned there was no threat from Trump and no talk of a quid pro quo involving foreign aid in exchange for an investigation of Joe Biden. By the time she finished the five pages, Pelosi would have realized that the media’s promise of a smoking gun was a...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and longtime girlfriend Food Network host Sandra Lee announced Wednesday they are splitting up after 14 years together. "Over the recent past, we have realized that our lives have gone in different directions and our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship,” the couple said in a joint statement. “We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls. Our personal lives remain personal and there will be no further comment." Rumors of a breakup started last May when Lee put the home she shared with Cuomo...

AOC dismisses polls showing disapproval of impeachment, suggests Dems should be willing to lose reelection Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., argued on Wednesday night that Congress should pursue the impeachment of President Trump despite its unpopularity among voters and "put our country first" before their jobs. "I personally do not believe in fulfilling my obligations to my job based on polling data," Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN. "I think we need to do our job and we've been elected and sent here by the people of the United States of America to fulfill all of our obligations under the Constitution of the...
