Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is fundraising off her feud with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking supporters to donate to her presidential campaign and calling on Clinton to "face her directly" in the 2020 Democratic primary. "Hillary Clinton accused Tulsi Gabbard — a combat veteran, soldier and Major in the Army National Guard — of being 'groomed' to be a 'Russian asset,'" reads a fundraising email sent by Gabbard's campaign on Saturday.

Anheuser-Busch InBev has accused rival brewer Miller Coors of obtaining the secret recipes for Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, the latest shot in a long-running legal dispute. The world's largest brewer claimed Thursday in U.S. court documents that Miller Coors, a subsidiary of Molson Coors, has obtained the "precise recipes" for some of its most popular beers, which it considers trade secrets. The battle between the brewers started when Anheuser-Busch InBev suggested in advertisements during this year's Super Bowl that corn syrup was being used to make Miller Lite and Coors Lite. Miller Coors responded in March with a lawsuit...

FULL TITLE: Ex-NFL star Jack Brewer: Why Trump policies are secretly loved by most liberals (even if they won’t admit it) Imagine a country where the president was promoted by the media as a far-right extremist, yet his signature policies align with the core issues preached by far-left liberals. If we could remove the double standard, President Donald Trump would likely be more popular with liberals than favorites like Bill Clinton or John F. Kennedy. In under 3 years, Trump has accomplished many of the things that Democrats, for years, have promised they would do. Since Election Day 2016, the...

There are ways to try to persuade someone to see your side of an issue or argument, and there are ways that not only won’t convince anyone, but are much more likely to just tick them off. Like standing in the middle of the street…with a banner…singing like idiots…when people are trying to get to work. One guy had enough of the climate change social justice BS Friday morning, and he took the required action to clear a street so he and other hard-working people could get to their jobs.

Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has apparently gotten an endorsement she said she can do without — from former KKK leader David Duke. The 68-year-old white supremacist and former GOP Louisiana state senator plastered a banner on his Twitter page prominently featuring a photograph of the Hawaiian lawmaker, the New York Post reported. “Tulsi Gabbard for President,” it blares, along with the tagline: “Finally a candidate who will actually put America First rather than Israel First!”

...According to “message guidance” in the memo: 1. When discussing Trump’s actions, keep the language simple, direct and values-based: President Trump abused his power and put himself above the law when he asked the Ukrainian president to interfere in the U.S. election. 2. Emphasize the core value that no one is above the law. Incumbent members who support the inquiry are simply working to uphold the rule of law and Republicans who oppose the inquiry are failing to fulfill their oath of office.” 3. The whistleblower did the right thing by coming forward – members of Congress have the duty...

Prime Minister Hubert Minnis has warned that thousands of undocumented migrants affected by Hurricane Dorian would not receive asylum or special treatment.

The best summary and explanation you will see or hear on the president's decision to withdraw some troops from Syria. A necessary adjunct to all the popular media you have been watching or listening to on the subject. There is a lot of deception out there, some of it intentional as all freepers know. Do not be dismayed by events, and here's why.

Posts Posted on October 18, 2019October 16, 2019 On Imperfection, As Seen in an Animation There are different ways to look at life, and two of these are captured in a couple of seemingly contradictory sayings. The more famous aphorism is this one: “The perfect is the enemy of the good,” but you’ll also hear its converse: “The good is the enemy of the best.” The second expression cautions that we sometimes settle for something that is merely good enough when we should be aiming higher; excellence is certainly something for which to strive.In today’s blog, though, I’d like...

As lawmakers huddled inside the House of Commons on Saturday to debate Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered outside the Palace of Westminster to demand that voters be given the final say on Brexit. Organizers said they hoped to draw more than a million protesters*, which would make it one of the largest demonstrations in British history. (*they didn't) The stated desire of the marchers was to call for a second referendum on any Brexit deal that lawmakers approve, but most had a more basic goal. “No Brexit” was the chant that echoed through...

Yesterday I had a free loaner while my car was in the shop.Nice,sunny day...nothing to do...I decided to drive down to Greenwich,Connecticut. For those who don't know,Greenwich is an obscenely wealthy suburb of NYC that's located right on Long Island Sound.On arrival I started walking around looking at the multi million dollar mansions (boy,I wish I had studied harder in school!). I came upon a short gravel path leading up to a small dock on the Sound. Behind me came an older woman...70s,maybe even 80...who said hello to me. We got chatting and started talking about a vacant lot that...

BORIS Johnson will write to the EU to ask for another Brexit delay TONIGHT after Tory rebel Sir Oliver Letwin trashed his chance to make history today. In a day of high-drama in the House of Commons, MPs voted for the Tory rebel’s wrecking amendment by 322 to 306, and torpedoed Boris' plans to pass a deal. Super Saturday turned into Pointless Saturday after the Tory rebel sabotaged Boris' Brexit bid with Parliamentary antics. Instead the PM must now ask the EU for a THIRD time to delay Britain's departure from the EU. Boris had hoped that MPs would have...
