Former Secretary of State John Kerry dropped the “f-bomb” on Twitter while denying an NBC News report that he might jump into the presidential race to take out Sen. Bernie Sanders. “Any report otherwise is f***ing (or categorically) false,” Kerry wrote. “I’ve been proud to campaign with my good friend Joe Biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat Trump, and make an outstanding president. NBC News reporters that one of their analysts overheard Kerry on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid “the possibility of...

John Kerry said Monday that "the world is safer today" because of the Iran nuclear deal. Details of how loud and long the mullahs laughed have not been released. In reality, the world is more threatened than ever by an aggressive and assertive Iran, confident and swaggering after besting Kerry at the negotiating table. As the International Atomic Energy Agency certified Iran's compliance with the stipulations of the nuclear deal and the U.S. and EU ended sanctions against the Islamic Republic, the head of Iran's armed forces, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, was not in a conciliatory mood. After Iran seized...

San Diego- In a highly unusual move, the Navy secretary has stripped a Silver Star awarded to a retired captain and Vietnam swift boat veteran who is serving a federal prison sentence after admitting to child pornography. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus revoked the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest valor award, which was awarded nearly 20 years ago to retired Capt. Wade Sanders of San Diego. A spokeswoman for Mabus confirmed the secretary's decision, which he made in August 2010 following a review and recommendation by the Navy Department Board of Medals and Decorations. "Mabus signed a memorandum in which he...

NEW York's party planners aren't dancing over legislation Sen. John Kerry is trying to push through Congress. Last week, the Massachusetts lawmaker introduced the TARP Taxpayer Protection & Corporate Responsibility Act, which would prevent all 421 institutions that received federal bailout money from "hosting, sponsoring, or paying for conferences, holiday parties and entertainment events." Kerry introduced the bill after learning the Northern Trust Corp. of Chicago, a profitable bank that received $1.6 billion in government cash, had sponsored a golf tournament in Los Angeles with special outings for clients featuring performances by Earth, Wind and Fire and Sheryl Crow. But...

03/11/2008 John Kerry Statement on Admiral Fallon's Resignation "The looming question now is whether the cost of Admiral Fallon's candor was his job." WASHINGTON, DC – Senator John Kerry made the following statement today about the retirement of Admiral William Fallon. Kerry pressed Congress to pose tough questions about whether Fallon was dismissed for voicing dissent against a rush to war with Iran. “Congress needs to determine immediately whether Admiral Fallon’s resignation is another example of truth tellers being forced to the sidelines in the Bush Administration. His departure must not clear the way for a rush to war with...

Senator Kerry Nov. 1, 2006 Damn you. You are a bumbling idiot. My son, Cory, left the Computer Engineering Program at West Virginia University, a superlative educational institution to volunteer to serve in the United States Marine Corps. He made it to Recon in less than one year, completing over a dozen schools,finishing with top scores in every single one of them. Cory, along with every Recon Marine, was/is a brilliant young man. They all volunteered - there is no draft as there was when you were in the Armed Forces. Cory, along with 3 other Recon Marines, died as...

The GOP has historically been the party of both Main Street and Wall Street. But over the past decade, the plutocrats have increasingly become Democrats. Billionaires for Bush are increasingly outnumbered by billionaires who hate Bush. And Republicans in limousines are being outpaced by Democrats in...

<p>Strange doings in Virginia. George Allen, former governor, one-term senator, son of a famous football coach and in the midst of a heated battle for re-election, has just been outed as a Jew. An odd turn of events, given the fact that his having Jewish origins has nothing to do with anything in the campaign and that Allen himself was oblivious to the fact until his 83-year-old mother revealed to him last month the secret she had kept concealed for 60 years.</p>

Dear Friend, I remember when I was back home from Vietnam and veterans were speaking out against the Vietnam war policy, someone yelled at the vets: "You should support the troops." One of those veterans said simply: "Lady, we are the troops." With a war in Iraq gone horribly wrong and a Republican attack machine determined to smear those who speak out, there's nothing more important this fall than electing veterans to Congress who can speak out about Iraq with a special moral authority. And man, do we need them. Recently, John "Randy" Kuhl, a Republican incumbent House member from...

This coming Thursday at 11:00am Eastern, G. Gordon Liddy will host leaders of the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation (VVLF) on his radio show. The VVLF recently filed a conspiracy lawsuit against John Kerry in federal court. During the program, excerpts from both "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" and Kerry's libelous 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will be broadcast. Here are short bios of Liddy's guests, all of whom also appeared in the devastating Swift Vets and POWs for Truth TV ad campaign: Col. George E. "Bud" Day, USAF (Ret.) President of Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation Shot...

I guess Kerry really is as dumb as his mediocre college grades suggest. Check out his latest email to supporters, below. Here's a guy who lost in 2004 due to being rightfully painted as a flip-flopper. So of what does he accuse W? Of being resolute! Throw us in that briar patch, Mr. Teresa, please! Also, note his disingenuous claim that "I've never met an American who doesn't want to see America succeed in Iraq." Does Kerry expect us to believe that he hasn't met Michael Moore, an honored guest at Kerry's convention? ------------------------------------ Dear , Last night the President...

**Exclusive** Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry is planning a response to a DRUDGE REPORT exclusive which first revealed the frantic behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry! The nature and details of a claimed two-year relationship, beginning in the Spring of 2001, between a young woman and Kerry is at the center of serious investigations at several media outlets. After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal. Unlike the Monica Lewinsky drama, which first played out publicly in...

WASHINGTON -- The Republican high command ought to be ecstatic over John Kerry's ascent toward the Democratic presidential nomination. His political profile should reassure George W. Bush's supporters: Massachusetts upper class, Vietnam antiwar protester, Mike Dukakis's lieutenant governor, Teddy Kennedy's protege, 95 percent liberal voter. Yet, ever since Kerry won in New Hampshire, Republican concern about President Bush's re-election has grown. "I can see the pucker factor," said one GOP operative, using the old military slang term for an attack of gut-clenching fear. What he implies is that he and his colleagues are confronting the possibility of another Bush becoming...
