    Dakota Johnson and Justin Timberlake had a successful evening on Saturday Night Live this weekend, with surprise appearances from Jimmy Fallon, as well as Shark Tank judges Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran. But many viewers were surprised – and somewhat confused – to see Dave Chappelle standing onstage during their goodbyes. The comedian appeared to join the cast on stage for no reason at all. To the far left of the stage, SNL cast member Bowen Yang, who has become an audience favorite since joining in 2018, can be seen standing far from the cast, unsmiling. In a video from...

    Dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced on Wednesday a new national political third party to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America's dysfunctional two-party system. The new party, called Forward and whose creation was first reported by Reuters, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. They hope the party will become a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties that dominate U.S. politics, founding members told Reuters. Party leaders will hold a series of...
  • Yang: Seems Like Hunter Laptop Story Was ‘Buried Because of the Timing’ and Media Didn’t ‘Want That out in the Mainstream’

    On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former presidential candidate and founder of the Forward Party Andrew Yang said it looks as though the Hunter Biden laptop story was “buried because of the timing…it was coming out during the height of the election in 2020 and they just did not want that out in the mainstream.” And that the higher levels of trust in the media among Democrats and lower levels of trust in the media among Republicans and independents is a case “where one side feels like the media is on their side.”

    Former presidential and New York mayoral candidate Andrew Yang reportedly no longer identifies as a Democrat and will soon launch a third party. Two people close to Yang told Politico that the former candidate will launch the third party with the release of his upcoming on October 5, Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy. The exact name of his party and its rollout remains unknown as of this writing, however, Crown, the book’s publisher provided some hints about the party’s principles:

    The US is looking to set up a combat-ready standing force on Australia's doorstep, in an effort to push back against an increasingly belligerent China across the Indo-Pacific. Ely Ratner, the man nominated by US President Joe Biden's to be the next assistant secretary of defence said establishing a permanent 'combat-credible forward posture' is essential to the US military's ability to deter aggression from authoritarian powers like China. It is hoped that the standing force, which Australia would likely be asked to join, would protect Taiwan from being seized by force. He told the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington...

    Eric Adams ripped his mayoral race rivals Andrew Yang and Kathryn Garcia for campaigning together on Juneteenth — which he says represented a broadside against him, a black man. On the holiday Saturday, Yang told supporters to rank Garcia, the former sanitation commissioner, second on ranked-choice ballots — a maneuver the front-running Brooklyn borough president said was offensive. “That last-minute attempt to derail me on June 19! That is when they did that. While we were celebrating liberation and freedom from enslavement, they sent a message, and I thought it was the wrong message,” Adams said outside St. George’s Episcopal...

    New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is accusing the New York Daily News of racism over a cartoon Monday depicting him as a tourist arriving in the city on the subway. Yang’s wife, Evelyn, tweeted the image, together with an offensive stereotype of an Asian visitor, and a complaint about depicting Yang as an outsider after decades in the city. The Daily News reported Tuesday: A mayoral candidate who failed to vote in several local elections, decamped to upstate New York during the height of the COVID pandemic, and who recently named the Times Square subway station his favorite...

On Tuesday, Yang tweeted, “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists.” The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere,” he pledged. Responding to news that a planned Yang campaign event had been cancelled, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Utterly shameful for Yang to try to show up to an Eid event after sending out a chest-thumping statement...

    In order for people to travel in 2021, they may eventually need a COVID vaccine passport. Several companies and technology groups have begun developing smartphone apps or systems for individuals to upload details of their COVID-19 tests and vaccinations, creating digital credentials that could be shown in order to enter concert venues, stadiums, movie theaters, offices, or even countries. The Common Trust Network, an initiative by Geneva-based nonprofit The Commons Project and the World Economic Forum, has partnered with several airlines including Cathay Pacific, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, as well as hundreds of health systems...

There ought to be,” Yang wrote on Twitter. “Tough to have mass gatherings like concerts or ballgames without either mass adoption of the vaccine or a means of signaling,” he continued.
  • Democrats Invite Voters to Exploit Georgia’s Weak Residency Rules to Stuff Ballot Boxes in Runoff Elections

    The Tennessee Star ^ | 11/10/2020 | Corinne Murdock
    Democrats are advocating for “blue voters” to become Georgia residents for the upcoming runoff elections. Georgia doesn’t have a minimum residency requirement, which poses a legal loophole for both parties. Democrats could drum up enough voters to match general election turnouts and flip the state, and Republicans could ensure their hold on two Senate seats. Additionally, the state’s voter I.D. laws allow individuals to use an out-of-state driver’s license to vote. However, the law defines residency as “without any present intuition of removing therefrom [the fixed habitation].” “A person shall not be considered to have gained a residence in any...

    One-time Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has announced that he and his family are relocating to Georgia to help Democrats win two races which will determine who controls the US Senate. “This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but let’s go!!!” Yang wrote Saturday, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. Ky). The fight for control of the Senate continues after two races in the Peach State ended with runoff elections, meaning a second round of elections,...

    In this clip, Andrew Yang describes a conversation where Biden promised him a future position. These comments raised a few eyebrows among Tulsi Gabbard’s supporters. You see, Andrew said his endorsement would go to the Democrat that comes out for universal basic income (UBI). The day after Andrew Yang dropped out, Gabbard sent an Instagram post to Yang, making clear she supports UBI. But Andrew Yang backtracked on his promise. No endorsement for Gabbard. Some of Gabbard’s supporters think Biden illegally bribed Andrew Yang for his endorsement. Watch the Video Clip...

    Andrew Yang has a message for all of the lawmakers who have still not been able to agree on another stimulus package. Yang, who recently campaigned to become the Democratic nominee for the presidency, urged politicians to pass an economic relief bill as "people are hurting" amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Lawmakers have been trying to agree on a stimulus package over the last several months. Still, Democrats and Republicans disagree on many aspects of the next bill, including the total price point.

    Former Presidential candidate Andrew Yang this week said former Vice President Joe Biden’s moderate image will potentially allow him to enact some of the most progressive policies since the New Deal era. “If someone like Joe says, ‘Hey, we need to do things differently on the economy or on climate change,’ that also becomes the mainstream. It’s very powerful. I think Joe has those instincts where he doesn’t try and chime in on every new issue. In part, that will help him move the entire center of gravity. If you look at his proposal on addressing climate change, it was...

We should seriously look at 4-day workweeks. Studies show that we would be just as productive. It would create jobs at the margins and improve mental health," Yang tweeted Monday.
