Hillary Clinton’s former communications director said she would "ankle dive" at the former secretary of state to keep her from running for president again. Jennifer Palmieri sat for an interview at The Wrap’s Power Women breakfast in Washington, D.C., on Thursday morning. Palmieri worked for Clinton during the former first lady's 2016 presidential run. "If Hillary Clinton ran for office again, I would do an ankle dive at the door and not allow her to do it because I love her too much," Palmieri said. "I want her to be the president, but she is going to be the woman...

She’s chic, fiery, and really darn good at soccer. Is it any wonder that everybody loves Megan Rapinoe? The soccer star and U.S. women’s national team captain has become a celebrity after guiding her team to yet another Women’s World Cup win on Sunday. Amid endless fanfare, she has received a glowing feature in the Washington Post, modeled for Sports Illustrated, and become a viral sensation. One article in the Week even endorsed her for president. There’s just one problem: She’s actually kind of an awful person. Rapinoe has soccer skills for sure, but her entitled, flippant, and unpatriotic attitude...

Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home employee who accused Bill Clinton of raping her decades ago when he was a gubernatorial candidate in Arkansas, said the former President’s denials of knowing politically connected financier Jeffrey Epstein are “worthless.” Epstein, who already has a resume including being a convicted felon and registered sex offender, was arrested on Saturday, charged with sex trafficking that involves allegations of pedophilia and sexual abuse for more than a decade.

Well, well, well. “Follow the facts,” Democratic strategist Christine Pelosi now advises fellow liberals in the wake of billionaire and high-flying political financier Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking indictment this week. Some of “our faves” could be implicated in the long-festering scandal, the Pelosi daughter warned, so it’s time to “let the chips fall where they may.” Too bad Pelosi’s mommy hasn’t adopted that same attitude of accountability. While serving as the highest-ranking elected woman in America for decades, San Fran Nan has chronically downplayed, whitewashed, or excused the sleazy habits and alleged sexual improprieties of a long parade of...

The continued surge of Latin American illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border will lead to hundreds of thousands being released into the country, increasing the already massive population of migrants by some 10%, according to a new analysis. “We anticipate more than 700,000 migrants will successfully enter the country, increasing the unauthorized Hispanic population by nearly 10%,” said the influential Princeton Policy Advisors. What’s more, wrote the group’s president Steve Kopits in a memo provided to Secrets, “By year end, nearly 300,000 migrant children are expected to enter the U.S. Over time, these will show up in the U.S. public...

Matt told you about that high school principal in Florida who was recently reassigned for refusing to say matter-of-factly that the Holocaust happened. Last year, in an email exchange with a parent concerned about how the school was educating kids on the Holocaust, Spanish River High School principal William Latson appeared to suggest that it was not exactly a proven historical event.“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened,” he wrote the mother, according to The Palm Beach Post. “And you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.”“I can’t say...

The New Jersey Attorney General is throwing a temper tantrum over local law enforcement’s involvement in upholding the laws of our country. He’s issued directives to police across the state that they better not cooperate with federal immigration officials… and if they do, he’s threatening action against their departments. But now his words have gone viral and the Blue Family won’t stand for it. Some are even calling for his resignation. Anthony Gallo is a candidate running for the elected position of sheriff in Middlesex county. He says that the AG’s stance on immigration is going directly against federal law....

<p>In the end Tommy Robinson was sent back to prison with a judge saying Tommy had "lied" and stressing what she claimed to be the "gravity" of the case.</p> <p>The time he will serve in prison was cut due to the previous imprisonment last year and other rules like early release of prisoners.</p>

CNN is suffering a credibility crisis as viewership for the once-proud network continues to crater with a no apparent plan in place to fix things anytime soon, according to media watchdogs and insiders. CNN’s audience shriveled in the second quarter of 2019, averaging only 541,000 total viewers while being more than doubled by Fox News Channel’s 1.3 million average in the process. But CNN struggled even more during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, finishing as the fifteenth most-watched network on basic cable behind networks such as TLC, Investigation Discovery and the Hallmark Channel. CNN averaged a dismal 761,000...

One can almost see Bill Clinton stepping up to the microphone in full dudgeon to say something like, “I did not have sex with any underage sex slaves on that man’s, Mr. Epstein’s, island on the 26 occasions I didn’t fly with him.” His spokespeople quickly responded to any suggestions Bill Clinton, poster child for celibacy, partook of any of accused billionaire pedophile, more salacious offerings of in-flight and ground level entertainment. Team Clinton insisted that Bill flew only four times in Mr. Epstein’s very friendly skies, stopping short of the suggestion that in any event they only discussed golf...

Immigrant advocates sued Thursday to preemptively block President Trump’s threatened new round-up of thousands of undocumented families this weekend. The White House insists the raids — the same ones that Trump scrapped last month — will target immigrant families that have already been given deportation orders. But the ACLU says many of them have never had a day in court due to massive bureaucratic bungling. “The Trump administration’s threats against immigrants run roughshod over basic fairness and due process,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “We will fight to ensure no one faces this...

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea....

AUSTIN, Texas -- School may be out but for a group of young women, class is still in session. Latinitas Summer Camp 2019 Teaches different fields of digital media Goal is to change the tech and digital industry Latinitas Summer Camp 2019 is designed to introduce young women of color into different fields of digital media. “In addition to learning more about their culture, their identity, and their gender,” says organizer Sylvia Butanda.

When Mary Katharine Ham and I speak publicly about our book, End of Discussion, we often spend a fair amount of time lingering on the subject of the Left's weaponization of identity politics.  Leftists very frequently seek to disqualify opposing viewpoints by claiming that those with different ideas are motivated by prejudice or bigotry, citing a parade of "-isms" as a substitute for substantive debate.  This has become such a standard form of discourse, we've argued, that when internal disagreements arise, many people apply the same demagogic tactics on their fellow partisans, having effectively forgotten how to argue in good...

AUSTIN, Texas -- More than 250,000 people in Travis County live at or below the poverty line. That means a single person earns roughly $1,000 monthly, $2,000 for families. Group starts food pantry Set up shop at the South Austin Community Church More than 250,000 in Travis Co. live at or below the poverty line “I get $20 on my food stamps so it’s a lot of things for when they come to my house and I’ll have things there but this is great. This is so good,” says 53-year-old Michelle Williams. Williams helps provide for her family, with four...

Ross Perot was born in the desert with no shoes on his feet. From there, he made himself into one of the most powerful men in America. A man — some say — who would have been President had he played the 1992 election differently. That man is returning to that desert, to be with Jesus for eternity, but not before doing one more thing for his country. Ross Perot’s will explicitly instructs his 11 children to donate $9 million each to the Trump 2020 campaign. All 11 of them, Billy, Bobby, Lou, Kieth, Brenda, Gwen, Danny, Linda, Barb, Mary,...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday publicly warned illegal immigrants not to open the door if an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is knocking. “An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant. If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home. If ICE agents don’t have a warrant signed by a judge, a person may refuse to open the door and let them in,” Pelosi, reading from a card, said at her weekly press conference. The speaker’s comments come as the...

There is too much gun control legislation being proposed lately. As the election cycle heats up, Presidential hopefuls are making big promises about banning guns, gunsmithing kits, and of course, the venerable and much-loved AR-15. I'm taking a small departure from the regular newsreel and discussions about gun control, to instead talk about something a little more fun in the blog section: Anti-gun control. Politicians have said too much, and you want to build an AR-15 from scratch. You might have no idea where to begin. This guide's going to teach you everything you need to know to get started....
