Appearing Thursday on MSNBC’s The Last Word with host Lawrence O’Donnell, former Vice President and presumptive Democrat nominee, Joe Biden, said he would not pardon President Donald Trump if elected to the White House.

Are you a NeverTrump "conservative" who wants to be a journalist? This guide has you covered. With so many people stuck at home these days, many are contemplating dipping their toes into the world of professional writing. While it’s true that many journalists have been losing their jobs or taking pay cuts, especially in the time of virus, some niche areas are still booming. Provided you have the correct prerequisites, writing the NeverTrump column could be a quick and easy way to write essays for fun and profit. Aside from the fact that important daily newspapers and blogs around the...

DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa loses badly.

In “private encounters,” Joe Biden likened a vice presidential nominee selection process to browsing monthly morsels in a pinup calendar. The New York Times reported: It is not lost on Mr. Biden that whomever he chooses might well be elected the nation’s first female president after his turn, or at least become a new front-runner for the distinction. He has called himself a “bridge” to the next generation of Democratic leaders, a transitional figure whose chief goal is the removal of President Trump. That Mr. Biden is a 77-year-old man likely to accept the nomination during a pandemic has attached...

People reports Michelle Obama’s nearly 30-year relationship with her husband Barack Obama was strengthened by marriage counseling. In her best-selling memoir Becoming, the former first lady, 56, is candid about the difficulties she and her husband faced over the years. Though their commitment to each other has remained steadfast since they married in October 1992, their lives got more complicated as they struggled to get pregnant, and after they had their two daughters Malia and Sasha. Mrs. Obama revealed she suffered a miscarriage and was only able to conceive the girls through in vitro fertilization (IVF). After their daughters were...

Gore said, “Not much joy in answering your question because, you know, I try to navigate away from a partisan dimension of this. We’re in an election year, and I’m in a different political party than the president. So you can take what I say with that as background. Really what’s at stake here is so much more important than that. And honestly, he has failed as president, particularly on this challenge. The warnings were ignored. I spent eight years starting every single day with a lengthy report from the intelligence committee, and there are very few occasions where there...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told American rabbis on Thursday that synagogues in the US may be able to be open for the Jewish High Holy Days in the fall, but only if certain conditions are met in terms of testing, contact tracing and social distancing. Speaking during a conference call organized by the Orthodox Union and quoted by Haaretz, Fauci expressed optimism that religious activities could be renewed before the end of the year. He noted, however, that synagogues would not be able to operate in the same way as...

My 24-year-old son came up with a fabulous idea to resume spectator sports in our country. Before having your ticket scanned, every ticket holder has to submit to a rectal temperature reading. Every fan has to drop their pants and underwear, bend over and spread 'em, while an attendant takes your temperature. Everybody in line gets to watch the process, optionally of course. If your temperature is within the normal range, you get your ticket scanned and proceed to the metal detector. And they say youth is wasted on the young.

...According to data released by the NHS, being overweight raises the chances of dying in hospital from the illness by 40 per cent. Having a body mass index of between 30 and 34 makes a person almost twice as likely to be admitted to ICU as someone with a BMI under 30. For those with a BMI of 35 or more, the likelihood is nearly four times higher...As the UK has the highest proportion of seriously overweight people in Europe, this is of grave concern. Yesterday, an NHS report said 67 per cent of men and 60 per cent of...

Dozens of hippies who got stuck at a festival in Panama due to coronavirus realized that the collectivist utopia they sought after is actually “hell” as they bicker over food and territory. One doesn’t want to laugh too much at their misfortune, but dear God, this is funny. The Tribal Gathering Festival, billed as “paradise on earth,” was supposed to end on March 15, but 40 western hippies remain trapped at the site because Panama announced a national emergency due to COVID-19 and placed them under quarantine. A subsequent ban on all entry and departure flights now means the hippies...

So that long farewell from Bernie Sanders wasn't such a long farewell. Actually, Bernie never left the race, even though he said he had suspended his campaign, and New York state, doing what seemed logical, called off its one-candidate primary. Now Joe Biden has another problem. Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign blasted the New York State Board of Elections’ announcement on Monday that his name would not appear on the ballot for the state's presidential primary in June, calling the move an "outrage" and "a blow to American democracy." "Just last week Vice President Biden warned the American people that President...

2 minutes for hilarious punchline

He's on-the-air. One of America's very best Talk Radio Show Hosts, IMO: Chris Plante from WMAL in DC. His show is the "prep work" for many other shows. And, unlike the others, he pulls no punches, tells it like it is and doesn't take any guff from liberal, leftist or commie/socialist/fascist callers. He's the guy we'd all like to sit down with and have a cheeseburger and a cold one, while talking about the state of America, and the crazies who are pulling the strings, behind-the-scenes. Get a fresh refill of your favorite coffee, a warm croissant, the Hoppe's Cleaning...

Democrats and members of the mainstream media spent much of the week unloading on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) after he announced that certain businesses in Georgia would be allowed to resume operations starting on Friday. ...While Kemp bore the brunt of the media’s backlash, his Democratic colleague, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), received no criticism on a mirror-image decision to reopen parts of Colorado’s economy...

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., had some harsh words for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., after the latter suggested that state governments should be able to declare bankruptcy during the coronavirus pandemic. ".@senatemajldr McConnell’s dismissive remark that States devastated by Coronavirus should go bankrupt rather than get the federal assistance they need and deserve is shameful and indefensible," King tweeted Wednesday. "To say that it is 'free money' to provide funds for [...] cops, firefighters and healthcare workers makes McConnell the Marie Antoinette of the Senate," he added.

And so, rather than inform the public of a fairly common household chemical that might save your family’s lives, the hideous Amber Phillips chose to annihilate this glimmer of hope and “own” Trump by spreading the wildly fake news that isopropyl alcohol is insanely expensive — a whopping $2,375!!...... (Snip) At the bottom, highlighted in red, and something Phillips hopes you don’t notice, is the per fluid ounce price of just $0.34. I mean, wow, at that price per ounce, how can this wonderful household item cost $2,375??? The more important arrow, however, is off to the left… Deliberately cropped...

Very rarely do I get overly impressed with youngsters. This girl is "based and redpilled" as it were. https://youtu.be/7z1wJgs1ZYE https://youtu.be/r-kgnv3USO4 I'm sure our "betters" in Sickalone Valley will, in the words of John Laroquette's character in Stripes, "have that removed."

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski criticized President Donald Trump for his remarks at the Coronavirus Task Force press conference about combating the coronavirus with light and disinfectant that members of the force would not agree with. “Morning Joe” aired multiple clips of Trump suggesting light and heat or injecting disinfectant could treat the coronavirus with members of the task force openly disagreeing with his suggestions. Brzezinski asked what the “breaking point” is for members of the White House to see Trump as “mentally and morally fit.” “You wonder what the breaking point is in terms of whether...

For a moment Tuesday, everything was wonderfully normal during a quick run to our Woodbridge office for supplies. The lights in the entryway danced off our three Pulitzer prizes, there was a sign on a broken coffee machine and my mailbox was overflowing with letters and magazines. It felt like any other day in the office until I turned a corner and walked into our newsroom. That’s when it hit me: The place was empty and dark. It has been the same at our offices in Trenton, Mullica Hill and Jersey City for more than six weeks now. Ditto for...
