The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor shared an explosive story last week that Barack and Michelle Obama are angling to replace decrepit, unpopular Joe Biden with the younger and more popular Michelle as the Democrats’ presidential nominee. Michelle has reportedly already surveyed major Democrat donors about her potential candidacy and in 2022 allegedly told a gathering of CEOs in New York City she was running. Now, the New York Post’s Cindy Adams reveals that a secret plan has emerged to throw Old Joe under the bus. She claims it comes from “credible sources few have access to and usually not meant...

Every mouth I meet opens to complain, “Things’ve changed . . . Nothing’s the same . . . Not like we were . . . The country isn’t what it was . . .” So I checked back — exactly 100 years — to see the America of 1919. World War I over. The USA needed security. Instead, cities experienced “Red Scare” bombings, race riots, workers striking, vets competing for jobs, May Day demonstrations, armed resistance movements and the deportations of 149 people, including Emma Goldman, to Russia. Historians rate 1919 “America’s worst year.” Dial telephones, pop-up toasters and shortwave radios made their entrance. Despite that pardon-the-expression “car”...

Pumping blood into Broadway’s arteries is “Hillary and Clinton.” The political play opens the 18th. John Golden Theatre. Already SRO, HRC might even have trouble nailing a seat. Set during 2008’s New Hampshire primary. Campaign in trouble. She calls Bill to help. It works. She wins the state. Now from it comes a 90-minute play, which already tested in Chicago. Playwright Lucas Hnath, who also wrote “A Doll’s House, Part 2” — also about a powerful couple — also gets a splashy New Yorker profile in next week’s issue. John Lithgow plays Him in jogging togs. Tracksuit for Her —...

Yet more evidence that Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury" book is a work of fiction comes to us by way of Cindy Adams, the long time columnist for the New York Post's Page Six. In contrast to Wolff's claim that Melania Trump cried on Election Night 2016, her Monday column states that she was with the Donald Trump family on Election Night and definitely did not see any such tears. In addition, nobody else Adams was with that night saw any Melania tears:

OK, so you know the hot mask this Halloween is Sarah Palin. What you don't know is, the Wasilla Wow is poised to make large money. Book offers for her view of what happened or didn't happen and how they blew it/ how they didn't blow it/ how she sees America/ Alaska/ McCain/ Barack/ baby Trig/ the price of jackets/ whatever. Agents are also poised to dangle $30,000 - give or take a few bucks - for a lecture. And said approximate fee is for "them." In other words, if she can't make it, they'll take the First Dude. She's...

DURING the Queen of Mean's heaviest troubles, closest to her was me.SNIP Her security man Ed Brady, after 16-hour days seven days a week for 20 years, suffered a heart attack possibly from stress and ended up in a lawsuit. His remarks are in a deposition. He said: * She wouldn't let help eat bananas because they were only for her. * Her firing method was to check an employee's premises, search his bags and withhold his final paycheck. * In backgammon, if you went to the john she changed the board around. * In cards, if you lost she...

July 8, 2007 -- HAVANA - It's a short distance from the United States but Cuba doesn't know from Rosie/Donald/Barbara and that blond ditz, wouldn't know Paris Hilton from O.J. Simpson and even those few with a satellite dish never mention the Iraq war. By phone a friend from Martha's Vineyard reported excitedly, "Jake Gyllenhaal's here. I just saw him sitting on his mother's porch." Share this with your guide and it's Jake Who? There's only one lone pop-culture name everybody knows and that's Michael Moore, whose "Sicko" was filmed partly in their Hospital Ameijeiras. Cuba lives in yesterday.

           November 1, 2005 -- * Supposedly, Corzine went for a $125,000 (give or take a few bucks) Cartier necklace to keep Carla from attending his son's wedding in San Francisco. * In a newspaper photo, Carla flashed a Cartier bracelet identical to one Corzine had bought Joanne before. Joanne returned hers to her husband. * Family members have mentioned certain credit card usage. * Although they have since broken up, he remains obsessed with pleasing Carla. Even complained that her children — not his, he never mentioned his — were suffering from the adverse publicity of their affair....

AREN'T we lucky? Isn't it great? We have patriotic ingrate Jane Fonda, the multiple divorceé who was born with a silver hoof in her mouth, acting as spokespig for our country again. Although she's born here, isn't there a way we can throw her out since her basic career is to bad-mouth the United States of America? If being a smoker is against the law, how about being a traitor? If spitting on the sidewalk is not allowed, how come spitting on the U.S.A. is OK? If double-parking gets a fine, shouldn't there be some small punishment for treason? Hanoi...

<p>THE prevailing opinion is Bush gets re- elected. People don't change leaders mid-war. Thus, certain Dem brains are plotting a crafty assault on the GOP. Having worked out what they consider is a creative attack based on the soaring petrol prices, they'll lay its blame on this administration.</p>

<p>THIS great, wonderful, terrific land of the free/home of the brave - most glorious nation ever created under God - could use Kate Smith today. We need a strong voice singing out "God Bless America."</p> <p>Don't want to laud the White House? Got issues with what's happening? Disagree with what's going down? Thank the Lord you live in a country where you can.</p>
