As I wrote earlier today, National Review columnist David French is involved in a major clash with nationalist populist opinion leaders like Raheem Kassam and Will Chamberlain (both of Human Events). In my article, I focused on their disagreements over style... there are also serious issues on which they differ with each other, however. One of those issues is hot in the news: should the government be involved in the battle against YouTube's obvious liberal bias? The subject was trending because YouTube recently launched a major purge of YouTubers it deemed "offensive." First and most prominent among them? Comedian Steven...

You are paid for your timeThey ask in depth questions which take long answers to properly respond. This time I looked into who the people running the show are.All from the Obama White House, and worked for hillary and AARP, etc.I wonder if my answers will cause heads to explode there?

Andrew Pollack, father of Parkland, Florida, shooting victim Meadow Pollack, says lawmakers’ focus should be on banning gun-free zones, not suppressors. Pollack’s observation comes as a ban on suppressors is being pushed by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) and other Democrats. But Pollack notes that the overarching commonality in high-profile public shootings is that attackers strike in gun-free zones, where they know their victims cannot shoot back. They do this at schools like Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Sandy Hook Elementary School, and Virginia Tech; at clubs like Borderline Bar & Grill and Orlando Pulse; and at movie theaters in...

(Reuters) - Several people were injured at a gay pride parade in Washington on Saturday when some in the crowd ran to escape what they mistakenly thought was the sound of gunshots, officials said.

If Pelosi’s friends are right that she is not a crazy, she needs to act like it. If she believes impeachment is wrong for the country as well as her party, she must say it clearly and stop trying to have it both ways. She could also set an example of doing her day job by dealing with border problems and other pressing national issues. Otherwise, she is playing with a fire that will prove easy to start and impossible to stop.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is “probably planning” to slap tariffs on the remaining US$300 billion of untaxed Chinese imports some time after he meets with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G20 in late June. The decision to put punitive duties on Chinese goods not currently subject to 25 per cent taxes would be made “over the next two weeks, probably right after the G20”, Trump told reporters at a D-Day ceremony in Europe.

The Prime Minister of Italy has fired two of the countries most powerful intelligence chiefs in a major shake-up.

The famed Four Seasons Restaurant in New York, which for decades was a go-to spot for power brokers to hobnob over lunch, will shut its doors on Tuesday. The 60-year-old upscale dining spot hasn't been able to hold onto its clientele, Four Seasons managing partner Alex von Bidder told CNN Business on Saturday, and its investors "lacked the confidence to fund it for another year or six months." He confirmed earlier reports in the New York Post and The New York Times that the restaurant will close indefinitely after lunchtime on Tuesday. Forty years ago, The Four Seasons became known...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s deal to avert his threatened tariffs on Mexico includes few new solutions to swiftly stem the surge of Central American migrants flowing over America’s southern border.But it delivers enough for Trump to claim a political win.The decision — announced by tweet late Friday — ended a showdown that business leaders warned would have disastrous economic consequences for both the U.S. and one of its largest trading partners, driving up consumer prices and driving a wedge between the two allies. And it represented a win for members of Trump’s own party who had flooded the...

During Designated Survivor Season 3, every time a person brings to President Kirkman’s attention a video of a citizen’s testimonial, what he watches is never an actor reading from a script but actual documentary footage. Some of the topics covered throughout the 10-episode season (now available on Netflix) include opioid addiction and the exorbitant cost of life-sustaining medicines such as insulin. “A mother whose child died of diabetes, people addicted to opioids, people who were in a transgender therapy group…. It’s always real,” Season 3 showrunner Neal Baer tells TVLine of the video clips. “When there are people saying to...

In the main, the American media do not think highly of our current president. This matters. Whether they admit it or not, their personal views shape their reportage. They regard him as a pretender to the throne, an accidental occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who has done more to discredit his office than most any of his predecessors. In their eyes, he's a bombastic boor and a bumbler whose reckless disregard for the dignity of his office has cheapened the nation in the eyes of the world. Not everyone holds that opinion. A goodly number of his supporters probably don't...

Cardinal George Pell’s two-day appeal hearing ended yesterday after the court heard from the cardinal’s defense counsel on the first day, and the prosecution on the second.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report clearly showed that her 2016 opponent, President Trump, obstructed justice during the Russia investigation. "If you take the time to read the Mueller report, actually read it ... you come to two inescapable conclusions," she said while speaking at her alma mater Wellesley College. Those conclusions, she said, were that Russia conducted a "sweeping" attempt to interfere in the 2016 election and that "obstruction of justice occurred." "You cannot read the report, chapter and verse, fact after fact, without reaching those conclusions," she said, according...

Donald Trump could be impeached in the House but not tried in the Senate for the sole purpose of presidential censure, Harvard professor of constitutional law Laurence Tribe tells AM JOY with Joy Reid.

Rep. Maxine Waters — the California Democrat who is one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal and prominent haters — will be dining on a plate full of crow this weekend after her prediction that the president was bluffing on his threat of Mexico tariffs backfired in spectacular fashion. All eyes were on the president the past few days as everyone waited to see what would happen regarding his threat to impose a 5 percent tariff on Mexico. One set of those eyes belonged to Waters, who tweeted Friday morning that “Dictator Trump” wouldn’t follow through on his threat. “Spineless...
