Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume called former President Donald Trump a failed president on Monday. Hume issued his condemnatory statement in response to a video from conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who suggested that people oppose Trump due to his success as president. “If Trump was such a failed president, why are they doing everything they possibly can to prevent a second term of Trump?” said Kirk. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe they don’t want a repeat of a failed presidency. Just guessing here,” responded Hume.

President Joe Biden is not planning to prioritize thousands of American citizens stranded in evacuations from Afghanistan, as the country falls similar to that of the Fall of Saigon in 1975, over Afghan nationals applying for visas to the United States. ....Snip.... As Breitbart News reported, the State Department and Defense Department have said there are “thousands” of Americans left in Afghanistan. “Once we get more airlift out of Kabul, we’re going to put as many people on those planes as we can,” Kirby told Fox News: [There will be a mix, not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan...

Former President Barack Obama in Montreal this week warned the world against income inequality and the concentration of wealth, all while pulling down $7,700 per minute at his $400,000 speech. Obama’s first post-presidency address on Canadian soil was loaded with anti-Trump, anti-capitalism and anti-American rhetoric. Big surprise there. Obama said that the concentration of wealth fans fears that governments exist solely to benefit the powerful, NBC reported and noted that Obama is now “striving to be an international community organizer.” He said the U.S. and other nations showed there was a better way “in creating an international order that was...

President Obama oversaw the deepest legislative malaise in modern political history, according to the Washington Times Legislative Index, which captures his struggles to find ways to work with a Congress that ranged from lukewarm to openly hostile toward him. Over the course of his eight years, he has signed just 1,227 bills into law — less, even, than one-term Presidents Carter and George H.W. Bush. Digging deeper into the numbers, Congress spent less time in session, handled less business on the chamber floors and generally sputtered for much of Mr. Obama’s tenure, according to The Times’ index. Blame for the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The grandson of former President Jimmy Carter says he persuaded the source who secretly taped Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at a fundraiser to release the full video to the media. James Carter IV says he was intrigued after seeing what he describes as a short, mysterious clip of Romney talking about Chinese factory conditions.

As President Barack Obama approaches the final hundred days before his election, events have forced his campaign to adopt a new political strategy: hoping Americans forget the first hundred days of his presidency. Back then, pundits proclaimed the dawn of a golden age of government not seen since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt graced the White House. With Speaker Nancy Pelosi reigning in the U.S. House of Representatives and a filibuster-proof majority dominating the Senate, Obama let then-House Republican Whip Eric Cantor know who was boss in January 2009. “Elections have consequences,” Obama said. “I won.” Any doubt about those consequences...

Former President Jimmy Carter (left) has just released a new study Bible, and if his recent interview with Huffington Post religion editor Paul Raushenbush is any indication, the former President’s study notes will offer a disconcerting combination of biblical wisdom and liberal notions. Carter recently told CNN religion writer Eric Marrapodi that he has been teaching Sunday School since he was an 18-year-old Navy midshipman, and has taught the adult class at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia nearly 700 times since returning home after leaving the White House in 1980. The notes in the Zondervan-published NIV...

Recent opinion polls conducted in the Untied States have showed that the sitting president of the nation is not likely to be reelected. The majority of the polled Americans said that they would not like to see Barack Obama in the office again, after his current presidency draws to an end in 2012.

American electors are known for their conservative views, and Obama will have to take titanic efforts to retrieve his rating. Why did he lose all of his charm and people’s support in just two years?

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Jimmy Carter is asking the Jewish community for forgiveness -- and insists it’s not simply because his grandson has decided to launch a political career with a run for the Georgia state Senate. Jason Carter, 34, an Atlanta-area lawyer, is considering a run to fill a seat covering suburban DeKalb County should the incumbent, David Adelman, win confirmation as President Obama's designated ambassador to Singapore. The seat, which is university heavy -- Emory, among others, is situated there -- also has a substantial Jewish community. The senior Carter outraged Jewish leaders with his book “Palestine: Peace not...

Former US President Jimmy Carter is asking for forgiveness of the Jewish community for forgiveness for any stigma he may have caused Israel. “…..I have the hope and a prayer that the State of Israel will flourish as a Jewish state within secure and recognized borders in peaceful co-existence with its neighbors and with all the Moslem States, and that this peaceful co-existence will bring security, prosperity and happiness to the people of Israel and to the people of the Middle East of all faiths. “We must recognize Israel’s achievements under difficult circumstances, even as we strive in a positive...

Do Barack Obama and the Democrat Party want prosperity? There is no reason to suspect that they do. The highest priority for them has always been raw political power. As the endless scandals of modern politics reveal, if one has political power then one also has wealth.

Ex-President for Sale It now turns out that Jimmy Carter--who is accusing the Jews of buying the silence of the media and politicians regarding criticism of Israel--has been bought and paid for by Arab money. In his recent book tour to promote Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Carter has been peddling a particularly nasty bit of bigotry. The canard is that Jews own and control the media, and prevent newspapers and the broadcast media from presenting an objective assessment of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and that Jews have bought and paid for every single member of Congress so as to prevent any...

A psychologist who teaches at Johns Hopkins University came to Little Rock last week to work on his book that will propose that Bill Clinton has a mental condition that's actually an element of historic greatness.The author, John Gartner, contended in a previous book that Americans have achieved inordinate wealth because ours is a nation of people who had the gumption to take chances. From that heritage, his theory goes, we have seen the spread of a gene that causes the occasional person to have chemical and brain wave actions called hypomanic.

President Bush says no one should discount his ability to get a new immigration law from Congress, despite his struggles with lawmakers in the past year. 'Don't underestimate me,' Bush said as the Senate readied for a showdown over the issue. Bush is insisting that Congress send him a bill that not only strengthens U.S. borders, but also allows foreigners to have a guest permit that lets them work temporarily in the United States in low-paying jobs. 'It's a humane way to deal with people who are making a contribution to our economy,' he said. 'I am disgusted by a...

AS the governments of Cuba and Venezuela continue to cope with enormous destabilising politics from the George Bush administration, it may be useful for those who insist on defending US foreign policy in our Caribbean to read what former President Jimmy Carter has to say. Speaking with the conscience of a proud, self-confessed 'born again' Christian, and a widely hailed commitment to human rights, democracy and international peace, Carter's overview of the threats to long cherised values of the American people is a must-read. In just 200 pages he presents in a most reader-friendly manner, free from cliches, demagoguery and...

Carter: Iraq War is 'Unjust' Saturday, July 30, 2005 BIRMINGHAM, England — Former President Jimmy Carter said Saturday the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the United States. Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as "unnecessary and unjust." "I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.," he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance's centenary conference in Birmingham, England. "I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus...

FORMER US president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter has called for the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to be closed, "to demonstrate clearly our nation's historic commitment to protect human rights". "Our government needs to close down Guantanamo and the two dozen secret detention facilities run by the United States as soon as possible," Carter said yesterday in Atlanta at a conference organised by the Carter Centre. He also called for an end to the policy of transferring prisoners to countries where there have been reports of torture, and pressed for an independent commission to investigate the...
