Former President Donald Trump made waves shortly after midnight Monday by criticizing the Club for Growth, deeming it a “globalist group” and asserting that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and his donors are also globalists. “The Club For No Growth is a GLOBALIST group that I have been taking to the cleaners for years,” Trump wrote in a TruthSocial update, explaining that he worked with the group for a period of time but adding it “couldn’t get away from China, Europe, Asia, and part’s unknown.” “They know I won’t play that game, I am America First all the way. That’s...

Joy Behar stirred outrage Thursday as The View host complained that the war in Ukraine will disrupt her Italian getaway in the latest controversy to hit the tone-deaf talk show. The long-running gabfest was discussing Russia launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine when Behar began to whine about her summer trip getting ruined. Behar's foot-in-mouth moment comes on the heels of the global fury stirred by co-host Whoopi Goldberg after she said that Holocaust was 'not about race.' On Thursday, co-host Sunny Hostin, 53, laid out some of the facts regarding the warfare in eastern Europe, which saw mass evacuations...

Dr. Anthony Fauci believes attacks and criticisms lodged against him are “dangerous to the entire field of science,” he told the Washington Post this week. “The constant harassment in the form of ridiculous accusations and outright lies makes doing my job and that of my staff of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic all the more difficult,” Fauci told the Post. He gave details of the thousands of angry phone calls he received after reports surfaced of his division of the National Institutions of Health (NIH) partially funding cruel experiments on beagle puppies — from allowing hungry sandflies to eat them alive...

The chief US expert on the Covid-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, has said that the "dire situation" that has now arisen in India after it initially seemed to have avoided the worst impact shows that no country is safe from a global pandemic, and climate and youth are not protections against it. Fauci said at a White House briefing on Friday that early on, when lower- and middle-income countries didn't have as many infections, "people would say, 'Maybe there's something special about climate .. What this (surge) is telling us -- in Africa and in India -- (is) that when you...

Michelle Obama made a point of breaking taboos about women’s health in the latest episode of her new podcast, talking about going through menopause in the workplace, weight, ageing and image. In a conversation with Samantha Malone, a longtime friend and Washington DC-based obstetrician and gynecologist, the former first lady shared a story about having a hot flash while on Marine One, the presidential helicopter, before an event with then-president Barack Obama. “It was like somebody put a furnace in my core and turned it on high,” she remembered. “And then everything started melting. And I thought, ‘Well this is...

VIDEO Yes, it was quite a thrill to hear my name mentioned by Scott Adams during his May 23 podcast (link to the full podcast below). He brought my name up in context with the video I posted last Thursday containing audio of a radio interview that Senator Amy Klobuchar had with Michael Smerconish in early April in which she very reluctantly revealed something quite shocking that now threatens to derail the possibility she will be named Joe Biden's running mate. Adams also discusses how Klobuchar's chances have also taken a big hit due to the audio discovered by...

Former President Barack Obama reportedly told a visitor that President Donald Trump “knows absolutely nothing” after the two met at the White House in 2016. Obama and his small staff had to deal with “a crazy president personally obsessed with Obama” after Trump won in 2016, Politico reported Tuesday. The former president has gradually become more vocal against Trump since the election, but appears to have privately voiced concerns throughout Trump’s tenure. “He [Trump] knows absolutely nothing,” Obama reportedly said after one White House meeting. Obama “held out hope” for a traditional relationship as past and current president, Obama’s first...

**SNIP** Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton issued a statement responding to the President's request saying the tanks would not be ideal for the event. “After we have worked for years with the National Park Service to refurbish the National Mall, at a cost of millions of taxpayer dollars, President Trump now proposes to have 60-ton battle tanks there, where they would likely do significant damage," Holmes Norton said. "These tanks, heavy equipment, and weapons of war have no place on the National Mall at all, particularly as we celebrate the Fourth of July." **SNIP** "Just as the Pentagon reminded the president...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke out against her critics in a series of tweets on Tuesday, in which she described being flooded with death threats and forced to review photos of "the men who want to kill me." Her tweet came in response to a Memorial Day video, which was aired at a Fresno Grizzlies Minor League Baseball game on Monday. The video message compared the freshman congresswoman to authoritarian leaders, including North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Cuba's Fidel Castro.

Freepers… we are watching the most coordinated false flag event of our lifetime. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt by operatives within the Democratic Party to make the GOP look bad and garter sympathy as the narrative spins away from them in the 2018 elections. The sheer audacity is incredible. However, the coordination between media outlets across the nation is incredibly scary. There are bylines being pushed by ABC, NBC and CBS that could not have been done unless they were already in place before this event took place. Local News stations on the a.m. dial are breaking...

There were times during a Thursday rally Barack Obama couldn’t help but talk about himself, even though he was supposed to be talking about other people. There were other times he could barely talk at all. During the Cleveland rally for Rich Cordray and Betty Sutton, Obama repeatedly talked about himself, despite the candidates sitting behind him. Several times, he stuttered as he attempted to attack President Trump and the success of recent Republican initiatives.

Former President Barack Obama said Democrats failed to maintain control of the White House and take Congress in 2016 because they were too focused on him personally and were waiting for inspiration to vote rather than concentrating on winning at all cost. “I’ll be honest with you, if I have a regret during my presidency, it is that people were so focused on me and the battles we were having, particularly after we lost the House, that folks stopped paying attention up and down the ballot,” he said Thursday at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Beverly Hills, Calif., according...

Oonagh Dalgliesh is the first to admit she feels broody. She is enchanted by the idea of watching a baby grow up, of marvelling at that first crooked smile, those tentative first steps and the fledgling attempts at independence that melt most mothers’ hearts. Even so, she has decided she will never experience the joy of discovering she is pregnant. At 32, Oonagh is certainly of child-bearing age. With a well-paid job as an events manager, she is financially solvent. And for the past year, she has been in a serious relationship with a man who is longing to become...

The Legislature in Iowa has passed the most restrictive abortion law in the country. Senate File 359, or the "heartbeat bill," will bar physicians from performing the procedure after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks, when it is common for women not to know they are pregnant yet. If you looked at my life on paper, you might very well wonder why this news is a big deal to me. I have a life in New York City, a 3-year-old son, a current, wanted, planned pregnancy, a rewarding relationship and my mental health....

Sarah Gilbert, who plays 65-year-old Barr's on-screen daughter Darlene, and serves as executive producer on the show, is especially fed up, according to the insider. 'The two have been going at it over creative differences, particularly when it comes to political dialogue that is in the script,' the anonymous informant shared. Radar's source said: 'Nothing has changed with her and she is just as difficult now as she was then.' Neither Barr nor Gilbert, 43, has addressed reports of creative differences. Barr did recently address Trump's claims he's to thank for high ratings for the show's premiere, though. Speaking with...

I must confess that I find New York’s senior senator, Chuck Schumer, annoying at best to listen to. He finds it difficult to speak without a tone of condescension in his voice and characteristically assumes a stance of moral, as well as intellectual, superiority to those who dare to disagree. In other words, a singularly repellant man, whose election and re-election by the voters of New York State remains a mystery to me. Who could stand to vote for such an obnoxious man? Evidently, New Yorkers see his behavior as normal and acceptable. But yesterday, on the Senate floor, we...

This liberal (likes "The American Prospect", member of "Americans Against Trump Rallies") shares a 'funny' story about driving while talking on her cell phone - and then lying to a police officer to avoid a ticket. (Details at link.)

In his first presidential inaugural address, Obama referenced himself 84 times, (that number is an approximation). By contrast, Trump made only 53 such references in his address to congress Tuesday night.

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama is welcoming the Chicago Cubs, the 2016 World Series champions, to the White House on Monday. He also plans to join a service project to mark Martin Luther King, Jr. day, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Friday. "On Tuesday, the president will attend meetings at the White House," Earnest said. "On Wednesday, the president of the United States will host his final news conference as president of the United States here in the briefing room."
