2020 Democrat Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is pushing a radical new "birthright" bill that aims to give thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to every baby born in America.The “baby bonds” bill wants to give up to $46,215 of taxpayer money to everyone born in the US as a “birthright.”The proposal is being pushed by Booker along with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) - the bottom rung on the ladder of AOC's so-called "Squad" of far-left Democrats.

So if you missed it, a bunch of "toxic masculine" men rescued a guy in a flipped-over pickup truck the other day. Here's the 90 second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGi_xUzuf4c Here's my take on it. Some more tweaked photos:

A thousand miles from Newark, in a tiny old school building tucked behind a Christian church, Cary Booker delivered the bad news. It was spring of 2011, and Omni Prep Academy, the Tennessee charter school co-founded and led by U.S. Sen. Cory Booker’s older brother, could no longer pay its kindergarten and first-grade teachers, the elder Booker announced, according to former teachers who were in the room. The financial woes weren’t a shock — when the school opened the previous fall it provided no books, no curriculum and almost no training for its novice educators, former teachers said in interviews...

PELHAM, New Hampshire — Cory Booker took a veiled dig at Democratic presidential candidates such as Joe Biden on Saturday, who err on the side of pragmatism. "There's one word I can't stand: it's 'realistically.' And the reason why I can't stand is because I was the mayor of a city that had decades of crime and corruption as its reputation," the New Jersey senator and former Newark mayor told voters in Pelham, New Hampshire, a Republican-heavy town in the Granite State. Booker then detoured into steps he took as chief executive of the state capital from 2006 to 2013...

Historically, economic prosperity has carried incumbent presidents to reelection. After two-and-a-half years of the Trump Administration the US economy appears very prosperous. GDP is expanding at a rate that former President Obama insisted would never be seen again. Stock prices are reaching record highs. Unemployment is at historic lows. Wages are rising. The task of Democrats seeking to persuade voters to unseat Trump would seem to be daunting. Nevertheless, several of them are trying out arguments against the Trump economic gains. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass) played the envy card, pointing out that "a 3% gain on a billion dollar income...

Long-shot presidential contender Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) defended the field’s unanimous endorsement of free health care for those entering the US illegally. “Many of those crossing our southern border bring deadly diseases with them,” he pointed out. “Treating them strikes me as pretty much a ‘no brainer.’ In fact, the more I think about it, I believe that to get out in front of this potential pandemic we need to extend free health care to every potential immigrant. If we can cure them in their home countries they’ll be in better shape for the long journey, less likely to die...

The Modern Day Democrat Party — They care more about illegal aliens than they do Americans. Open Borders or Bust–Democrat Cory Booker actually went to Mexico on Wednesday to campaign for better living conditions for illegal migrants. Booker then escorted the illegals across the US border into El Paso. These illegal aliens were previously deported from the United States.

Full Title: Cory Booker ups the ante in Dem political stunts, brazenly escorts 5 migrants across U.S. border To win the Democrat presidential primaries, candidates such as failed Texas senatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker have taken to courting alleged asylum seekers. This new election strategy began with O’Rourke, who traveled to the Mexican town of Ciudad Juárez last weekend to meet and speak with alleged asylum seekers. In Ciudad Juarez, ⁦@BetoORourke⁩ meets with Central American asylum seekers forced to wait at a Mexican shelter. 19-year-old woman on the left was separated from her parents and...

For too many politicians and presidential hopefuls, a free college education is a cure-all for inequality in America—so long as the federal government can pour enough money into it. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), for instance, has opted to make “baby bonds” the centerpiece of his campaign. Under this policy, fleshed out in recent weeks, lower-income children would be given a large nest egg by the federal government which could be used for eligible expenses, such as a college education. But whether through redistribution or bloated administrative policies, pumping more money into America’s universities will simply drive college...

Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker claimed that giving free government health care to illegal immigrants is a “common sense thing.” The 2020 presidential candidate made the comments to CNN’s Jim Sciutto Tuesday after releasing his immigration plan earlier in the day. “First of all, this is not a Progressive decision. It’s a common sense thing,” Booker said. Booker then referenced his time as mayor of Newark, New Jersey to justify his stance. “I was the chief executive of a city. Do I want someone who gets sick with a potential communicable illness to not be able to go to...

A day after California Sen. Kamala Harris went on the offensive against Joe Biden about race at the Democratic debate, Cory Booker similarly hit back at racial comments made by the former vice president. While attempting to defend his record on civil rights in Chicago Friday, the 76-year-old Biden waded into more controversy with a remark he made about hoodies. “We've got to recognize that kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger,” Biden told the crowd. Booker, a 50-year-old senator from New Jersey, hit back at the comments over Twitter. He...

Sen. Cory Booker is alone at the Democratic presidential debate in calling it a “mistake” to sign onto the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran. The New Jersey senator was the only one of the 10 candidates on stage in Miami on Wednesday not to raise his hand when asked if he supported the deal. […] Pressed to explain his rationale, Booker said as president he would “do the best I can to secure this country.” …

President Trump blasted the contestants in the second Democratic presidential debate on Thursday when they all declared their support for health care coverage for undocumented immigrants. All of the candidates - including former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg - raised their hands when asked by an NBC moderator if they would support a health care plan that would cover undocumented immigrants. "All Democrats just raised their hands for giving millions of illegal aliens unlimited healthcare," Trump wrote on twitter from Japan, where he is to attend the G20 Summit. "How about...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a relative unknown mired at the bottom of the crowded Democratic 2020 presidential field, was the most searched candidate on Google by the time Wednesday's debate ended, making the Hawaii lawmaker and military veteran one of the night's biggest winners. ...

Shortened title. Full title: Political Commentator Pushing for Slavery Reparations Calls Republicans ‘The Devil’ During Congressional Hearing Political commentator Julianne Malveaux called Republicans “The Devil” during a Congressional hearing regarding slavery reparations on Wednesday, where she was speaking as a witness. Malveaux said that Democrats were “the devil once upon a time,” but that “Republicans took that over, and they became the devil.” The hearing was held by the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties to discuss “the Path to Restorative Justice.” Specifically, they were discussing H.R. 40 — a bill that proposes a...

Four Democrats vying for their party’s presidential nomination honed in on the economic concerns of the black community during a forum Saturday in South Carolina, a state where nonwhite voters will play a major role in next year’s primary election. Appearing on stage one at a time, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke all stressed the need to increase access to capital for black business owners as part of a broader effort to address wealth inequality. Warren expounded on what she’s called...

WASHINGTON — One of the most dramatic policy initiatives by Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., in his presidential campaign is a plan to provide $1,000 grants to every baby born in the U.S. The money would come in the form of a “baby bond” that would be added to during childhood, on a sliding scale depending on the family’s income. Booker and his campaign released a new analysis on Friday morning that provided further details about how his plan would address “the growing wealth gap.” “So many Americans’ lives are dictated by how much money is in their parents’ bank accounts,”...

A convergence of policy ideas between two of the 23 Democratic presidential candidates has progressives giddy over what some are calling a “dream ticket” pairing that could revive the flagging fortunes of two contenders mired in low single digits in the polls. One of these candidates is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) who unveiled a proposal that would require insurance companies to provide fertility treatments. She explained her idea would “usher in full reproductive freedom rights for everyone. As it now stands, persons who cannot conceive are blocked from enjoying the right to abortion. It is fundamentally unfair that those who...

Cory Booker proposes creating special White House office to promote abortion May 23, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – As the numerous Democrats vying for the party’s 2020 presidential nomination compete to stake out the most pro-abortion position possible, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has pledged to create a White House office exclusively dedicated to protecting so-called abortion “rights.” Booker laid out a comprehensive pro-abortion plan Wednesday in a Medium post pledging to hold a pro-Roe v. Wade litmus test for judicial nominees, support codifying a “right” to abortion in federal legislation, repeal the Hyde Amendment restricting taxpayer funding of abortion, and...

On Monday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a 2020 candidate for president, refused to say whether or not he would support a gun confiscation plan that involves jailing Americans who refuse to give up their guns by selling them to the government. CNN's Poppy Harlow asked Booker whether he would support a program sponsored by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), another 2020 candidate. Swalwell has centered his campaign on the gun control issue, having even threatening nuclear war against reluctant gun owners. Harlow asked Booker if he supports Swalwell's buy-back program, which would impose harsh penalties, including jail time, on those who...
