Just as a registry of gun owners is necessary if we hope to confiscate privately owned firearms, a list of who is wealthy must be established so we can transfer this undeserved money to the government for redistribution.” A key part of Sanders’ plan includes a ban on taking funds out of the country. “We’re not saying that those targeted for expropriation can’t leave,” he said. “But their money has to stay here so...

Two Republicans, one of them former congressman Bob Inglis, have sued the S.C. Republican Party over its decision to cancel its GOP presidential primary next year. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Richland County, alleges the party scrapped their 2020 election contest illegally and violated its own party rules and state election law.

It’s not often that the women of The View come to an agreement, but on Monday’s show, each co-host voiced similar concerns about President Trump’s reaction to the impeachment inquiry he’s facing after a whistleblower called attention to his dealings with the president of Ukraine.

WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised young climate activist Greta Thunberg, who recently addressed the United Nations’ Climate Action Summit. Calling Thunberg's remarks "powerful," Clinton specifically applauded the portion of the speech where Thunberg told world leaders they had "stolen" her childhood.

Now, I know she engendered a backlash from the...

Scarborough alleged that [presumably by citing Jeffress' statement], President Trump was making "calls for civil war." What's more, Scarborough accused Trump of "sending a message" to supporters to...
