In the episode, released Tuesday, the candidate and current lieutenant governor of California touted his involvement in San Francisco having "the only universal health care plan for all undocumented residents in America."

San Francisco is the only universal health care plan for all undocumented residents in America. Very proud...

Democrat Radical Progressive, Andrew Gillum now the Democrat Candidate running for Governor of Florida against, Republican, Conservative Ron DeSantis could destroy the Democrat Party in the state of Florida. I doubt very much that the overwhelming number of voters (ALL) in the state of Florida will take kindly to the politics and agenda of Democrat, Andrew Gillum. The Democrats that chose him in their primary have made a politically unwise choice. Mr Gillun, on Election Day Tuesday, November 6, 2018 will be widely and massively rejected by the good voters of Florida!!!

An FBI special agent told Congress earlier in August that the bureau has used leaked news stories as justifications to obtain surveillance warrants against American citizens, a source familiar with the testimony tells The Daily Caller News Foundation. During a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees on Friday, Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told congressional investigators that the FBI and Justice Department have leaked stories to the press and then used them to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). “He more or less admitted that the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press...

An attorney for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, is backing away from confident assertions he made that Cohen has information to share with investigators that shows Trump knew in 2016 of Russian efforts to undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Lanny Davis, a spokesman and attorney for Cohen, said in an interview this weekend that he is no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts. Davis did not rule out that his claims were correct but expressed regret that...

Democrats have already promised to raise taxes, ban guns, and open the borders if they gain control of the House in the midterm elections, but they also have a sinister agenda to oust the freely-elected President of the United States. Democrats reportedly have 52 separate investigations they’d like to launch against Donald Trump. Considering how little democrats ever accomplish, this is quite the ambitious plan and at least 52 more reasons why no one should vote for a democrat ever. The Huffington Post reports: Here Are The 52 Trump Investigations That Democrats Plan If They Win The Midterms If Democrats...

Several findings point to the potential for a blue map in November: – President Trump’s job rating remains underwater. – Republicans alone say the economy is in positive shape. – The GOP tax law is less popular (40 percent favorable) than Obamacare (51 percent favorable). – The Republican Party is less popular (39 percent favorable) than the Democratic Party (50 percent favorable). – Optimism about life for the next generation of Americans is down eight points from last year. – There is greater enthusiasm to vote in the midterms among out-of-power Democrats. Meanwhile, the Trump/Russia probe isn’t going away. Approval...

The states of Florida & Arizona hold their primary elections next Tuesday, August 28, 2018. They are just about the end of the "primary election" cycle for this upcoming election in November. Normally, I urge all Republicans, Conservatives, Blue Dog Democrats, Independents, etc. to get their butts in gear, get up off the couch and go out and vote to support, defend and sustain, POTUS, Donald J. Trump, etc. I still urge that action. My family has already voted in Florida, either by absentee ballot or early voting. All twelve have cast their primary votes for Rick Scott (Senator), Ron...

The president of Bosnia’s autonomous Serb Republic has accused the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo of using its development agency to interfere in the Balkan country’s election process, a charge dismissed by the embassy as a “wild” conspiracy theory. Milorad Dodik said the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was implementing its aid program through non-government organizations to conceal what he said was its real agenda of countering Russian influence in the region. “Aiming to directly interfere in internal affairs of the Republika Srpska and Bosnia, USAID ... tries to avoid all institutions and to grant funds under cover of the...

Mitt Romney 1 hr · The events of the last 24 hours confirm that conduct by highly-placed individuals was both dishonorable and illegal. Also confirmed is my faith in our justice system and my conviction that we are a nation committed to the rule of law.

On Tuesday, Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen surrendered himself to the FBI after it was reported he reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors. Michael Cohen admitted he violated campaign finance laws in relation to the Stormy Daniels payment at direction of a ‘candidate.’ He paid off the porn star over $100,000 in a hush money agreement which she later violated. Democrats and their liberal media cheered that this was the end of the Trump “regime.” But it wasn’t that long ago that a presidential campaign was charged with much worse. In 2013 Maggie Haberman at Politico reported on...

Barack Obama's presidential campaign has been fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating federal disclosure laws, Politico reports. An FEC audit of Obama for America's 2008 records found the committee failed to disclose millions of dollars in contributions and dragged its feet in refunding millions more in excess contributions. The resulting fine, one of the largest ever handed down by the FEC, is the result of a failure to disclose or improperly disclosing thousands of contributions to Obama for America during the then-senator's 2008 presidential run, documents show....

Cohen: Trump told me to pay off women to influence the election President Trump’s personal fixer Michael Cohen admitted in court Tuesday that he paid two women hush money — “at direction of the candidate,” a clear reference to Trump — to influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s name was not uttered but the implication was clear as Cohen admitted he cut a $150,000 check in 2016 to protect “the candidate.” “On or about summer 2016, in coordination and with and at the behest of the candidate, I and the CEO of a media company worked together to keep an...

Election day for the mid-term primary is a week away. There are four contested state-wide offices: US Senate, Governor, Attorney General, and Commissioner of Agriculture. There is a lot of negative advertising out there and while some of the players are well known, others are not. So this is my attempt at bringing together any discussion on choosing the candidates to go up against their RAT opponents in the November General Election.

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) are in a dead heat in the Pennsylvania Senate race, according to a poll released on Monday. A Commonwealth Leaders Fund poll found that Sen. Bob Casey leads by only two points, with Casey at 47 percent, Barletta at 45 percent, and 6.1 percent of Pennsylvania voters undecided. The poll had a 3.6-point margin of error, making the Pennsylvania Senate race a virtual toss-up. The poll also weighted heavily for a significant Democrat turnout that outpaces previous “Democratic waves.” The poll suggested that Democrats will have a five-point turnout advantage over...

<p>Viking rock music and whole pigs roasting on spits drew thousands of Swedes to a festival hosted by nationalists poised to deliver their country’s biggest political upheaval in a century.</p> <p>The Sweden Democrats have been led since 2005 by a clean-cut and bespectacled man, Jimmie Akesson. He’s gentrified a party that traces its roots back to the country’s neo-Nazi, white supremacist fringe. Some polls now show the group may become the biggest in Sweden’s parliament after general elections on Sept. 9. Such an outcome would end 100 years of Social Democratic dominance.</p>

A candidate running to be Arizona’s next secretary of state said the state should stop offering ballots printed in other languages and provide them only in English. The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday that Republican candidate Steve Gaynor made the proposal during a candidate forum over the weekend.

It had 18 languages on it," said Gaynor, who owns a printing business that creates pamphlets for California elections, according to the Republic. "I would be the first to say it should be ... ballots, information pamphlets, all the material...
