The average American just isn’t behind the party of defund the police, 'democratic socialism,' and higher taxes. Who would have guessed?Republicans have good reason to be optimistic about the next ten years.While the chaotic presidential race has been its own beast, Republicans had what should have been an impossibly good night in November 2020, according to corporate media pollsters. Senate Republicans knocked out a wave of overpaid and overhyped challengers, state legislative chambers and a governorship were taken, and the Democratic House Majority was cut to the bone by a wave of red upsets.This upset, just like the surprise of...

Democrats may succeed in using the DNC to push a moderate message, but even with a complicit press, it will be difficult to hide the truth much longer. For four days, those tuned into the Democratic National Committee’s virtual convention witnessed a party attempting desperately to masquerade behind a veil of moderation. Standing beneath a figurative banner of “unity,” the DNC paraded across the screen its foremost legacy politicians: former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter, as well as presidential wannabes John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.The party presented these and their modern equivalents — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sens....

An institute that studies election security criticized the Nevada Democratic Party for planning to use a digital tool for its caucuses, arguing that Nevada was likely to run into many of the same issues that Iowa did with its voting app last week. The Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute began its Twitter thread Sunday with a link to a story from The Nevada Independent, which detailed how the Nevada Democratic Party (NDP) will be using a digital "tool" on the day of that state's caucuses on February 22. The Independent reported that NDP staffers made a distinction between its...

In an abrupt about-face, Hillary Clinton said Tuesday night that she would endorse her 2016 rival Bernie Sanders if he wins the Democratic nomination to face President Donald Trump in November. The former secretary of state had earlier refused to say whether she would endorse Sanders in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Tuesday, instead telling the outlet: “I’m not going to go there yet.” She had also offered a broad condemnation of the progressive candidate’s style of politics. “I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!” Clinton tweeted Tuesday night. “But, to be serious, the number one priority...

Hillary Clinton refused to say whether she would endorse Bernie Sanders, her 2016 rival, if he wins the Democratic nomination and offered a broad condemnation of the progressive candidate’s style of politics. “I’m not going to go there yet,” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday in response to whether she’d back Sanders. “We’re still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of...

In a 1981 interview on Today with Phil Donahue, a 39 year old Bernie Sanders says he is "not a capitalist." Sanders had just won his first term as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. In explaining his case for Socialism he says, "Do I believe the profit motive is fundamental to human nature? The answer is no. I think the spirit of cooperation - that you and I can work together is better than compete against each other and destroy each other."

That is essentially what Sen. Schumer was saying today if you eliminate the unnecessary and leave only the core of what he was getting at. But it isn't McConnell's job to fix Schiff's intentionally-made mess. And Schumer's hypocrisy was open for all to see: let us railroad Trump in the House and let us railroad him in the Senate as well. Schumer knows that Dems in the House blatantly defied the courts and thumbed their nose at established court precedent as SCOTUS acted rapidly in their role as arbiters between two co-equal branches when Nixon would not hand the tapes...

Just days before the House of Representatives is expected to vote, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is at its highest point ever and a slim majority of voters remain opposed to impeachment, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday. Voters’ views on impeachment remain unchanged from last week’s poll, when 51% of voters said that Trump should not be impeached and removed from office, while 45% said that he should be impeached and removed. That poll was the first time since the inquiry began that more than half of registered voters indicated opposition to impeachment. The poll was released...

Most Americans believe that the House-led Democrat impeachment effort is politically motivated and not based on legitimate legal concerns, the McLaughlin & Associates’ October Poll released last week revealed. The McLaughlin & Associates National Survey, taken October 17-22 among 1,000 likely voters, found that the majority of Americans believe the Democrat-led impeachment effort is politically motivated. Respondents were asked, “Do you think that Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats are moving forward with their impeachment inquiry against President Trump mainly for political reasons to stop him from being re-elected or mainly for legal reasons?” The majority, 52 percent, said Democrats...

Sen Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) edged past former Vice President Joe Biden in a new poll gauging support in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

President Trump’s remarks Monday condemning the horrific mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton did little to quell the anger from 2020 Democratic hopefuls who are blaming his rhetoric as well as inaction on gun control in part for the violence, as they level uncensored attacks on the president and Republicans in Congress. In the wake of the back-to-back mass shootings that left at least 31 dead, the Democratic presidential candidates have dropped the usual decorum surrounding even tense policy debates like gun control, using coarse language to demonstrate their exasperation over the GOP response to gun violence and their...

WASHINGTON - President Trump is defending himself against accusations of racism, claiming he’s just the latest target of a party that plays the “race card,” as he leveled criticism against Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. Trump called out Cummings on Saturday, slamming him as a “brutal bully” for how he spoke to border patrol officials, and said that the congressman’s Baltimore district is in “FAR WORSE” shape than the situation at the southern border. That rebuke resulted in claims of racism from Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but Trump pointed out that he’s hardly the first to get accused of...

Mexico set a grim record in July for the staggering number of murders sweeping the country, with homicides up 5% since 2018. Experts cite the ongoing cartel wars and gang violence on the sad statistic. “Mexico saw 3,080 killings in June, an increase of over 8% from the same month a year ago, according to official figures. The country of almost 125 million now sees as many as 100 killings per day nationwide,” reports the Associated Press [link to URL]. “The 17,608 killings in the first half of 2019 is the most since comparable records began being kept in 1997,...
