Short sweet and to the point. Republican Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, must, be fired, tossed out, step down, forced to resign, as the current Senate Majority Leader....like right this minute....no dialogue required. It's as plain and obvious as the nose on your face. End of story!

President Donald Trump will get crushed by any Democrat running against him in the 2020 presidential election, a poll released Thursday indicated. Asked whether they would vote for Trump or a hypothetical Democratic candidate in the next election, just 36 percent in the Politico/Morning Consult poll said they would vote to give the president a second term. That compared with 46 percent who indicated they would vote for Trump’s Democratic opponent, whoever that may be. A further 18 percent said they remained undecided.

Donna Brazile, the former interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), once thought it was possible that the Russians had been involved in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich or that he was killed because he was white, according to her new book. In July 2016, Rich, 27, was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., while walking home at night. The police believe the shooting was a botched robbery, but because Rich worked for the DNC, theories emerged that the killing was related to thousands of committee emails being published by WikiLeaks two weeks after his death. In...

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said Monday that the DNC did not give Hillary Clinton the tools she needed to succeed in 2016. "We have to make sure that whoever wins the nomination, has all the tools to succeed," Perez said on Joe Madison "The Black Eagle" on SiriusXM radio. "In other words, that we have built our organizing infrastructure, that we have built a technology infrastructure that's second-to-none, and that we have built a voter protection infrastructure that ensures that the Republican efforts to suppress voters will never succeed. And those are the infrastructure items that we are...

Former DNC chairman Donna Brazile says she doesn't think Hillary Clinton would have remarked that half of Donald Trump's supporters belong in a "basket of deplorables" if she was in "better health." Brazile reveals in her just-released book Hacked that she saw Clinton right before she made the "basket of deplorables" comment, and it was the first time she noticed "Hillary did not look well." Brazile "noticed her face was puffy," "her skin looked pale and papery," and "her eyes were glazed." She approached Clinton about her health before the speech and observed her to be "wobbly on her feet"...

Everyone knew the primary was rigged. The real question is: Why did they bother, when they would have won anyway? Over the weekend, the Washington Post previewed passages from former DNC chair Donna Brazile's much-anticipated "blistering" tell-all book about the 2016 presidential campaign, Hacks. The piece written by Phillip Rucker originally included a passage that read as follows: "Whenever Brazile got frustrated with Clinton’s aides, she writes, she would remind them that the DNC charter empowered her to replace the nominee. If a nominee became disabled, she explains, the party chair would oversee the process of filling the vacancy." Later,...

Donna Brazile says Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign made her sound “menopausal” with its excuse for why she fainted at the 9/11 memorial in Manhattan in 2016. “When CNN aired the [fainting] tape, the reporter said that Hillary had left the event early because she was ‘overheated.’ What? Who thought that up? They made her sound menopausal, which was unlikely in a woman at the age of sixty-seven,” Brazile wrote in her new book, “Hacks.” Brazile says she immediately sent a message to the Clinton camp headquarters in Brooklyn to explain how “stupid” an explanation “overheated” was and that the entire...

Sad...today, New York City and New Jersey voters, blindly walk into economic stagnation, few good job opportunities, lousy government, sky high taxes and MS-13 thugs and murderers running free of the leash. Voters there....are really "Not-Too-Bright"!!! Ho-Hum, well...at least they will get the "Low Life Democrat Treatment" they deserve. New Jersey Taxpayers just really love and adore the drastically high taxes they pay!!! LMAO!!!

Well....today is the day...Election Day in Virginia. Virginia voters "all", the future of our nation is in your votes today. If you turnout in massive numbers and cast your votes for Republican Ed Gillespie to become the next Governor of Virginia, you will accomplish three great positive things immediately, for your state and for your country This election is a "critical path one" because it can set the tone and direction of all politics in the USA for the next ten to twenty years. If your elect Ed Gillespie as your Governor, he brings, beside his election, two things with...

A few weeks ago I met with, and interviewed, Alexander Nix, the CEO of Cambridge Analytica. His company has been credited with helping Donald Trump win the US Presidency. It’s also been associated with many other controversial political campaigns globally and accused by some of aiding the UK’s exit from the EU. He addresses all of these subjects in detail (a shorter summary is here). The interview, which was recorded, was conducted in private at the IT Arena conference in Lviv, Ukraine. The is the transcript of the interview, which was 50 minutes long: Mike Butcher (MB): You think that...

Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile said she’s frustrated by the reaction of Hillary Clinton’s campaign staffers who have criticized her opinions on what the Clinton campaign got wrong in the 2016 election. Brazile said on ABC’s “This Week” the Clinton campaign hamstrung the party during the election by basically taking over the Democratic National Convention. She said the 100-plus staffers who criticized her remarks in her new book don’t get how they hurt the party. “Here's what they don't know. What it was like to be over at the DNC during the hacking. What it's like to bury...

The head of the Democratic National Committee on Saturday vowed to ensure all candidates have an equal chance to win the Democratic presidential nomination after a former party chair accused the committee of rigging the process to aid Hillary Clinton in 2016. DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement the 2020 nominating process would be “unquestionably fair and transparent.” Perez made his comments after former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile said in an opinion piece in Politico earlier this week that the nomination process had been “rigged” in Clinton’s favor after she signed a fundraising agreement with the DNC in...

Former Democratic National Committee Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile reportedly considered making then-Vice President Joe Biden the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee after Hillary Clinton fainted in New York City, according to excerpts included in her new memoir. Brazile wrote that she looked into using her powers as the party's head to remove Clinton and running mate U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, after the former secretary of state's high-profile fainting spell at a 9/11 memorial ceremony, the Washington Post reported....

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has responded to a searing critique running the Democrat National Committee, saying she is ‘proud’ of her controversial tenure but failing to address claims she essentially handed over the party to Hillary Clinton. The former DNC chair issued a statement after her successor, interim chair Donna Brazile, released a book excerpt where she said Wasserman Schultz was ‘not a good manager’ and allowed Clinton to virtually take over the party even before she captured the nomination. ‘It was a tremendous honor to be asked by President Obama to serve as chair of the DNC,’ the Florida...

Both former President Bushes had choice words for current President Donald Trump in a new book scheduled to be published later this month, with the elder Bush reportedly calling the billionaire commander-in-chief a “blowhard” and flatly stating he does not “like” him. Presidents George Bush and George W. Bush, the 41st and 43rd top executives respectively, spoke to author Mark K. Updegrove for the book “The Last Republicans.” It detailed the relationship between the father-and-son presidents and how they were fretful of what Trump had done to the Republican Party. Furthermore, both ex-presidents admitted they did not vote for Trump....

The Democrats seem to enjoy gloating about the hot mess that is the Republican Party these days. Former GOP presidents warning the president about the people he surrounds himself with; sitting Republican U.S. senators calling the president unstable and unqualified; and a former GOP speaker of the house saying "there is no Republican Party. The president isn't a Republican." And Democrats' friends in the mainstream media have kindly created an echo chamber that makes them think that they are always right and the Republicans are a bunch of sexist, racist, whack jobs. So why aren't they winning? They must be...

But there’s still one last line they won’t cross. One of the most mystifying aspects of the 2016 election has been the short-term elevation of Hillary Clinton. She somehow went from being the “most qualified presidential candidate in history” to a spiritual figure, a person with a mystical presence. She walks the woods. She grants or denies absolution. When she speaks, grown women weep. Or at least they did yesterday. Today, things changed. Remember Donna Brazile? She’s the former CNN contributor and interim chairman of the Democratic National Committee. She last dominated the headlines in October of 2016, when a...

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said late Wednesday that she is “still ready” to be president of the United States. Clinton made the comments during an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” after host Trevor Noah displayed several clips of conservative pundits, including Fox News's Sean Hannity, mistakenly referring to her as president. “I’ve noticed this seems to be a theme with them, yes,” Clinton said, referring to the pundits. “And I can only say, if they want to make that world a reality, I’m still ready,” she said. Clinton has been hitting the speaking and television circuit...

Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump on Wednesday over his response to Tuesday’s deadly terror attack in New York. On the “Daily Show,” the former secretary of state slammed her 2016 presidential election rival for immediately looking for someone to blame in the aftermath of the horrific incident in which eight people were killed. Trump blamed the attack, where a man drove a rental truck down a bike path and struck several people, on the diversity visa lottery program. The program allowed 29-year-old suspect Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov to legally immigrate to the U.S. from Uzbekistan in 2010....

Hillary Clinton’s campaign took over the Democratic National Committee's funding and day-to-day operations early in the primary season and may have used that power to undermine her rival Senator Bernie Sanders, according to the party's one-time interim chairwoman. The DNC official, Donna Brazile, now a political analyst, wrote in Politico Magazine on Thursday that she discovered an August 2015 agreement between the national committee and Clinton’s campaign and fundraising arm that gave Clinton “control (of) the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised” in exchange for taking care of the massive debt leftover from President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign....
