Americans who live outside of the nation’s capital should understand the District of Columbia is “sacred ground,” according to a Virginia congressman who represents a district that is among the wealthiest in the country thanks largely to its heavy concentration of highly paid federal workers. Rep. Gerry Connolly told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (HOGR) Wednesday that Congress may need to “educate” people on why federal departments and agencies should be centralized on the “sacred ground” of D.C. Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, made the comments as the committee debated a House resolution encouraging federal agencies to relocate...

Senate Democrats are warning Republicans of a shutdown showdown if President Donald Trump insists on including funding for a wall along the Mexican border in April’s government funding bill. “We believe it would be inappropriate to insist on the inclusion of such funding in a must-pass appropriations bill that is needed for the Republican majority in control of the Congress to avert a government shutdown so early in President Trump’s Administration,” the Senate Democratic leadership team, along with Appropriations ranking Democrat Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, wrote in a letter to be circulated Monday. The letter was directed to Senate...

Starbucks CEO’s refugee comments has hurt customer sentiment of the coffee chain.   In January Starbucks Corp. CEO Howard Schultz announced that the company would hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years after President Trump announced his temporary ban on refugees from terror states.   The Starbucks stock crashed after the announcement.     And customer sentiment has not yet recovered since the political stunt by CEO Howard Schultz.

President Donald Trump has become the go-to scapegoat for most things. If you’re having a bad day at the office, chalk it up to Trump. If you experienced a microaggression in college—yep, Trump’s secretly behind it. Now, Barbra Streisand says Trump is responsible for her struggles with her weight. The 74-year-old singer and songwriter said this weekend that watching the news stories about the president has made her seek solace in stuffing her face with food—emotionally eating to take away the pain of a president she voted against. Streisand is no fan of the president, having previously spoken out against...

White-wearing spoiled, pitiable women should spend time discussing commonalities in American history which bring us together, rather than focusing obsessively on gender, racial, transexual, political, class differences, meant to divide country A group of Democrat Congresswomen attempted to make an impression in the House chamber Tuesday night for President Donald Trump’s first a joint session of Congress. Like giggling pre-pubescent girls, they decided to all dress alike… but in white, like Suffragettes of the late 1800’s.

* Democrat women representatives wore white to honor suffragettes at President Donald Trump's first address to a Joint Session of Congress * Minority leader of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi led the show of unity saying that the President doesn't support women's rights * During the 60-minute speech the female Democrats could be seen giving the President the thumbs down when he brought up repealing Obamacare * Hillary Clinton wore a white pantsuit at Trump's inauguration and at one of the presidential debates _____________________________________________ Female Democrats attacked President Donald Trump by wearing white in a powerful show of unity...

During President Trump’s speech on Tuesday night he touted the positive economic growth that has taken place since coming into office which received standing ovation from everyone in attendance. Everyone except bitter congresswoman Nancy Pelsoi.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and other House Democrats plan on wearing white to President Donald Trump's address to Congress Tuesday evening in a silent protest. MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked Pelosi, who was wearing white and purple, about how Democrats would behave during Trump's speech and if her wearing white was a form of silent protest. Pelosi however, used a different term to refer to her decision to wear white and purple. "It's not even a protest. It's a statement of values," Pelosi said. "It associates ourselves with our suffragette mothers, the color of white, the color...

President Donald Trump’s aide Stephen Miller has been lurking below decks on the Trump administration’s ship of fools, staying out of sight as the Spicer-Conway-Trump circus occupies the public eye. But he just made a crucial mistake that just catapulted him to notoriety. In this official photograph from the White House, Stephen Miller is making a white power symbol with his hands. Three fingers for “w,” the pinched thumb and index making the “p.” Miller is from Santa Monica, California, where even as a youth, the ultraconservative Miller “bemoaned the [high] school’s Spanish-language announcements, the colorful festivals of minority cultures,...

Tucker Carlson Debates Refuse Fascism's Sunsara TaylorFact check: Totally false. Over to you, Jacob Furedi: Following Trump's travel ban on refugees and citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries, his presidency has immediately been equated with the rise of Hitler. Perennial-loud-mouthed MP Dennis Skinner has labelled President Trump as a "fascist". On the continent and across the Atlantic, the mayors of Madrid and Philadelphia have both compared Trump to Hitler. Who knew that Ken Livingstone's constant blathering on about Hitler would finally catch on? However, the most pernicious effect of equating Trump with Hitler is that, ultimately, it risks trivialising the Holocaust....

Comedienne Sarah Silverman went into hysterics on Twitter Sunday after finding Nazi swastikas drawn on the pavement in the town she was visiting.

The democrat party is old. Really old. As he headed out the door, Harry Reid remarked that in 2020 the democrat party would be an “old folks home”: “It depends on who’s running. It appears we’re going to have an old folks’ home. We’ve got [Elizabeth] Warren; she’ll be 71. Biden will be 78. Bernie [Sanders] will be 79.” Old. Unfortunately, the graying of the democrat party is really starting to become painfully obvious. Dementia is insidious. It creeps up on you surreptitiously. It began showing up a few years ago when democrat Hank Johnson (D) expressed a concern about...

A speeding train barreled right through U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s (D-Conn.) Friday press conference that was, ironically, on commuter rail safety. “Safety as you know it is paramount …” Blumenthal said just before an Amtrak train whizzed by near him, pausing the conference. Video of the moment from KHON2 shows the politician at the Milford, Conn., train station on a narrow platform where he is standing near the yellow warning strip, while he and another man standing even closer to the tracks held a visual aid from blowing away as the train breezed by.

Here’s a crazy idea – I know it seems kind of nuts, but if you are trying to make me watch your show or see your movie, perhaps it might be better not to disrespect patriotic Americans like me.Wacky, huh?Sure, it’s hard to believe that the industry that brought us virile superhunk Michael Cera and sexy ultrahottie Lena Dunham could make bad decisions. The geniuses in Hollywood clearly have their fingers on Americans’ collective pulse, if you define “Americans” as everyone in a coastal megalopolis who lives within 50 yards of a cruelty-free organic coffee shop.Take 24: Legacy, the new...

CONFUSION: Maxine Waters claims Putin ‘continuing to advance into Korea (around 1:18 mark)

Senate Democrats said they plan to hold the floor of the chamber for the next 24 hours, leading up to the vote to confirm President Donald Trump's choice to be education secretary, in hopes of drawing enough attention to the issue to derail Betsy DeVos' nomination. While the Democrats decision to work overnight adds publicity to the topic, the party does not have the numbers to block a final confirmation vote and DeVos is still expected to be voted on for final confirmation Tuesday. "Democrats will hold the floor for the next 24 hours, until the final vote, to do...

Senate Democrats are planning a rare all-night talkathon to protest Betsy DeVos's nomination for Education secretary ahead of an expected vote on Tuesday."Democrats will hold the floor for the next 24 hours, until the final vote, to do everything we can to persuade just one more Republican to join us," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said from the Senate floor Monday.

The closing to Saturday Night Live last night. Two female performers singing a creepy love song to a giant black and white poster of Obama.

Her sign said; 'I am more than my vagina'. I asked her why she was at the Women's March on Washington. She said it was because she wanted to show what democracy really meant. Another white lady held a placard reminding me that 'white silence = white consent but Black Lives Matter #BLM'. She said she was marching because women own their own bodies. And a lady, pushing a stroller with two children on board, facing down the secret service, with a sign that made it clear Trump is 'Not My President'.
