FULL TITLE: Massachusetts Gov Charlie Baker: “It’s a Great Day” for Abortion, Signs Bill Keeping Abortions Legal Post-Roe Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker signed a pro-abortion bill Friday to keep the killing of unborn babies legal in the event that the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. “It’s a good day for Massachusetts,” Baker said, prior to signing the bill, Patch reports. Surrounded by abortion activists, the pro-abortion Republican celebrated the N.A.S.T.Y. (negating archaic statutes targeting young) Woman Act, which repeals several century-old state laws that ban abortions. The legislature approved the bill last week. “Today, we formally repeal a...

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to Boston yesterday to throw a spotlight on what he called “theft from America” by 25 mostly illegal immigrants charged with massive government fraud that’s being blamed on shoddy oversight by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. “Operation Double Trouble” accounted for $200,000 in heisted Medicare, unemployment and public housing benefits. One of the suspects, the feds said, is a convicted killer who escaped from prison in Puerto Rico. “Across this city and across America, teachers, truck drivers, construction workers are going to work and paying taxes that are being stolen from the public treasury...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren made an amateur mistake on CNBC on Monday when she gave real answers to a reporter’s questions. The appearance should have been an easy media score as the questioner was John Harwood, a journalist who famously fawned over President Obama’s ability to swat a fly in a 2009 interview. It did not go well, though, as Warren explained why she wants to overturn the Trump tax cuts.

John Harwood conducted an interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) this week which may not have produced much of substance, but definitely provided some interesting moments of comic relief. Warren is still seen as a likely entrant in the Democrats’ 2020 presidential primary and has buttered her bread with the fights she’s started with Wall Street and the investment banking industry. Harwood asked her about that, specifically wondering if she didn’t harbor some “malice” for capitalists. Warren’s response is a bit much to swallow but it’s worth a quick look at the video. (Free Beacon) “It sounds as if you...

Cheered on by angry chants of RESIST! RESIST! from a small angry crowd of zaftig purpled-haired very angry women dressed like outraged, very angry vaginas, an equally angry, unmedicated Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told reporters Monday that she is “sick and tired” of “Traitor Trump” questioning her self-documented Native-American heritage and degrading proud, noble native Americans who — like her ancestors — were forced onto government reservations “by cis-heterosexual white supremacist males, just like that traitorous, orange-faced, fascist baboon in the White House.”

Elizabeth Warren told CNBC Democrats will end the Trump tax cuts if they take power in November. Warren also promoted a 50% tax hike on American earners.

Massachusetts lawmakers sent their “N.A.S.T.Y. Woman Act” to the governor this week to keep the killing of unborn babies legal in the event that the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Gov. Charlie Baker, a pro-abortion Republican, said he plans to sign the bill, which would repeal several century-old state laws that ban abortions, the AP reports. The legislature approved the N.A.S.T.Y. (negating archaic statutes targeting young women) bill last week. The legislation would repeal a ban on distributing information about getting an abortion or contraception and a ban on unmarried people accessing contraception. These bans have not been...

One thing that the Democrats can do to assure Donald Trump’s re-election in 2020: Nominate somebody from Massachusetts. Virginia used to be called the Mother of Presidents. Massachusetts is the Mother of Presidential Losers. [Snip] But they're [the Media] swooning over the fake Indian. I couldn't get through the interminable 500,000-word story in New York, but here are some phrases I pulled out of the early going, culled from a rally earlier this month in Natick: "In constant motion ... she rocks on her feet, or rises to her tiptoes ... she’ll beat her chest … speaks so passionately that...

College campus culture should be fair game for criticism. After all, college is very expensive and in many circles considered a compulsory rite of passage for young people. More and more we hear stories of speakers being shut down by student protesters amid sometimes violent actions. Speakers running the political gamut from Ben Shapiro to Alan Dershowitz have been on the receiving end of angry mobs.

A federal judge in Boston is allowing a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s ending of temporary protections for immigrants to proceed on the grounds the decisions were motivated by racial prejudice. U.S. District Judge Denise Casper rejected Monday the government’s bid to dismiss the lawsuit, which a group of immigrants and civil rights organizations filed in February in response to the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and El Salvador. Statements by administration officials — including President Donald Trump — make it plausible that “a discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor in a decision” to wind down TPS...

Is Elizabeth Warren having an extramarital affair with New York Magazine? I ask only because NYM just published a 7,200-word opus that reads like a deranged love letter to the American Native senator from Massachusetts, seeking to turn an old, wrinkled leftist with even older, more wrinkled leftist ideas into the fresh young face for America in 2020. So you don't have to read the article for yourself, I have summarized the lowlights: [Snip] As if realizing that age (currently 69) could be a vulnerability to Warren, the article shows her running, partially in midair, as if this were a...

Massachusetts lawmakers have passed a bill that will repeal a more-than-150-year-old law banning abortion, a response to fears about the future of Roe v. Wade as President Trump nominates his second Supreme Court justice. The Negating Archaic Statutes Targeting Young Women — or NASTY Women Act — is expected to be signed by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, Time reported Monday. The bill officially repeals a 173-year-old law against “procuring a miscarriage” — even though abortion is already legal in the state, as well as nationwide, following Roe v. Wade. President Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh to fill the seat being...

Florida Congressman Carlos Curbelo is getting ready to introduce a bill repealing the gas tax in exchange for a carbon tax. It seems rather odd the Miami Republican wants to chart this path, especially after the House GOP overwhelmingly denounced the notion of a carbon tax last week, but Curbelo isn’t backing down from his proposal. He told Miami Herald his proposal is just a “first step” in the discussion. When you ask this question in a vacuum, is any tax detrimental to economic growth? It’s usually going to be yes…But when you put it in context and you...

BOSTON, July 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) -- By a 136-9 margin, the Massachusetts House has voted to repeal the state’s old, unenforced bans on abortion and contraception that predate Roe v. Wade. The Negating Archaic Statutes Targeting Young (NASTY) Women Act, named after a campaign trail insult President Donald Trump leveled at his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton which feminists embraced as a rallying cry, is meant to ensure that abortion remains legal in Massachusetts even if a more conservative Supreme Court repeals Roe in the near future. "Today, nasty women and their nasty men are here to say we're not going...

During a portion of an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” released on Thursday, former Secretary of State John Kerry criticized President Trump’s press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki and stated he didn’t believe President Trump’s walk back of his comments, asking, “how can anyone buy walk back after walk back, when you take positions here, and then you take positions over here and you’re repetitively walking back and changing?” Kerry said he found the Helsinki presser “shocking. I found it to be one of the most disgraceful, remarkable moments of kowtowing to a foreign leader by an American...

Brockton, Mass., is known as the birthplace of boxing legend Rocky Marciano. But with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushing for a $1 billion Native American casino less than 20 miles away, struggling blue-collar Brockton's competing casino bid might not stand a fighting chance. Brockton Mayor William Carpenter slammed Warren's bill on behalf of the Masphee Wampanoag tribe, which would override a federal judge's decision last year to block the tribe's plan for a luxury gaming resort in East Taunton. He says Warren seems to be acting on behalf of special interests instead of people like Brockton's struggling residents.

Former presidential nominee Mitt Romney recently hosted a donor meeting for former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz who has been reportedly considering a run for president as a Democrat in 2020. Politico’s Ben Schrekinger said the event did not go well and that many left uninspired by the potential nominee. “Will there be some segment of the customer base that decides, ‘I’m not going to go to Starbucks anymore should he become a candidate,” Mark Kalinowski, president of Kalinowski Equity Research, asked Politico. “You have to think about the employees. You have to think about the shareholders, everybody who might be...

Starbucks founder Howard Schultz — who is contemplating a presidential run as a Democrat — recently attended a private gathering of political donors organized by Mitt Romney, according to a report at Politico. Politico’s Ben Schrekinger writes that the donors, “convened by” Romney, were unimpressed with the would-be candidate: Wall Street analysts are wary, and company leadership is nervous, about the effect a Democratic bid by its chairman emeritus could have on Starbucks’ business, given its bipartisan customer base. If that weren’t discouraging enough, his retirement last month set off a boomlet of pundits urging him not to run. And...
