Sen. Cory Booker on Monday introduced a bill that would study the possibility of reparations for descendants of slaves, embracing a push that recently has caught the interest of fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. The senator from New Jersey said Monday that “this bill is a way of addressing head-on the persistence of racism, white supremacy, and implicit racial bias in our country. It will bring together the best minds to study the issue and propose solutions that will finally begin to right the economic scales of past harms and make sure we are a country where all dignity and...

Vatican Cardinal Robert Sarah warns that the “west will disappear” as a result of mass migration, adding that “Islam will invade the world” and “completely change culture, anthropology, and moral vision.” Sarah’s new book, Evening Draws Near and the Day is Nearly Over, is causing controversy in Europe because it explicitly identifies Muslim migration as a harbinger of the continent’s collapse. “If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians,” said Sarah, adding, “My country...

In response to the charge that he advocated open borders, 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said social programs could not be funded if America was overwhelmed with immigrants. The Vermont Senator was responding to a question from a member of the crowd at a campaign event in Oskaloosa, IA. Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigns in Oskaloosa, IA: "If you open the borders, there's a lot of poverty in this world, and you're going to have people from all over the world. And I don't think that's something that we can do at this point. Can't do it." “If you open the...

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Sunday Dreamers, children of immigrants brought into the country illegally, should get legal status. "Well, it's been put in place by President Obama and I believe we have a responsibility to fulfill what is a presidential pledge and commitment. So that's in the past. I would provide legal status for those Dreamers in the country," Romney said on NBC's "Meet the Press," referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that shields these individuals from deportation. "That's something the president's put on the table. I think we should get that job done, and hope,...

Freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is blaming a Fox News host for the death threat made against her fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The Democrat darling linked Jeanine Pirro’s controversial comments questioning Omar’s loyalty to the US to a phone call the lawmaker’s office received in which an upstate man allegedly called her a “terrorist” and threatened to kill her. “Understand when Jeanine Pirro goes on Fox + rallies people to think hijabs are threatening, it leads to this,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Saturday night, along with a link to a story on the death threat against the Muslim House member.

They're not winning many baseball games, so the New York Yankees have decided that virtue-signaling is the next-best thing. Get a load of this stupidity from whoever it is now running the Bronx Bombers: Today, the Yankees became the 1st major North American sports team to sign on to the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework, the aim of which is to to bring greenhouse emissions in line with the Paris Climate Change Agreement & inspire others to take ambitious climate action.

Economically illiterate New York Times writer Michelle Goldberg, who supports the Green New Deal, said she didn’t notice when thieves charged more than $11,000 to her credit card Michelle Goldberg is an opinion writer for the New York Times. She is in favor of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal. In a recent column, Goldberg wrote:“Warren, of course, will also be good on climate, and she has endorsed the idea of a Green New Deal put forward by Democrats like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”In the same column, Goldberg displayed her own economic illiteracy when she explained that she never looks over her monthly...

A bipartisan group of lawmakers sent President Trump a letter Wednesday urging him to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria within the next six months. Trump has already committed to pulling back U.S. forces from the region, but Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and others say it needs to happen quickly. “We write in bipartisan support of your announcement of the start of a “deliberate withdrawal” of U.S. military forces in Syria, and we welcome the completion of this process within the next six months.” Paul wrote to Trump in a letter that was also signed by Rep....

Remember the Justice Democrats? That’s the group that was pushing not only Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but other upstarts seeking to primary incumbent Democrats who were deemed insufficiently progressive. More recently, the “primary everybody” movement has come under fire from party leaders, leading to the DCCC declaring open season on any politicos who assist such efforts. This doesn’t seem to have diminished the zeal of AOC and her friends one bit. In fact, it may have backfired. The Justice Democrats have now launched the “DCCC Blacklist” and they’re signing up rebels who want to ignore the marching orders of the DCCC...

A controversial PAC that helped propel AOC to Congress, is under fire from other progressives. David Hildebrand planned a grassroots campaign against incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and sought them out. But he said they muscled him out of the race, choosing a female candidate to run in last June’s primary against Feinstein. “I had support in my community and was nominated by many people. When Hildebrand asked Justice Democrats why they were backing a former school teacher and campaign finance reform activist, they said they needed a woman up against Feinstein. “Their process is allegedly one where candidates are nominated...

"Hijacked by Asses” Much is being written and said about Modern Day Harpy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), but no one sys it better than author/journalist Marilyn MacGruder Barnewell: Through AOC, “We’re actually living SNL!”(Saturday Night Live). SNL became a surrealistic every day reality, when top staff of Bolshevik Bernie Sanders opened Pandora’s Box and let a rarin’ to go, fully scripted, screaming meemie AOC out. AOC was born from a political casting call that chose her from a cast of 10,000 entrants.

Left-wing Hollywood figures are freaking out and comparing President Donald Trump to a Nazi, using a misleading and edited video from last year of President Donald Trump calling murderous illegal aliens “animals.” In May 2018, President Trump said that members of the violent gang MS-13 were not “people…these are animals.” At the time, the establishment media and Hollywood activists used that line to falsely claim that Trump was calling all asylum seekers “animals.” The video of Trump is now re-circulating online among the left after Democratic 2020 hopeful Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke compared the president’s rhetoric to Nazi Germany. O’Rourke...

“It is surely unfair on women who have to compete against people who, biologically, are still men,” tennis legend Martina Navratilova recently proclaimed. “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.” Activists blasted Navratilova as “transphobic” and years after she identified as a lesbian the tennis star was booted from the board of a LBGT nonprofit.  Long before any of that happened, women who were biologically still men were competing against other women.  The Union...

President Donald Trump is trying to make the case for Jewish voters to back his re-election as he takes a victory lap with Republican donors in Las Vegas. Trump was scheduled to speak Saturday at the annual meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, which supported his 2016 campaign and is preparing to spend millions on his 2020 effort. Jewish voters in the U.S. have traditionally sided heavily with Democrats, but Republicans are hoping to narrow the gap next year, in part as Trump cites actions that he says show he’s more pro-Israel. Trump’s speech comes weeks after he suggested Democrats...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has fired back at conservative critics who accused her of adopting a faux “Southern drawl” for her speech at Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in New York on Friday. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that “folks talking about my voice can step right off.” “Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture & had to learn to navigate class enviros at school/work knows what’s up,” she added. “My Spanish is the same way.”

Democratic presidential contender was at the Jazz Foundation’s ‘A Great Night in Harlem’ annual gala Sen. Bernie Sanders made a trip to the Apollo Theater in Harlem to pay tribute to Harry Belafonte, Tony Bennett and the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., but along the way slammed President Donald Trump as a racist. The Democratic presidential contender was at the Jazz Foundation’s “A Great Night in Harlem” annual gala where Belafonte and Bennett were honoured on Thursday night. Both worked with King, and the evening marked the 51st anniversary of King’s slaying in Memphis, Tennessee, during a...

Fox Business Network reporter Charles Gasparino said Wednesday that former Vice President and potential 2020 candidate Joe Biden is “seething” behind the scenes at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), whose campaign he believes is behind media scrutiny of him getting too close for comfort with myriad women.

Unfortunately for the Club’s board, Biden is failing to launch. The free range Moonbat coalition, aka the unsuspecting astroturf, are turning out to be more challenging to herd than the board anticipated. Their plot against installing Biden may succeed. This opens the club to reconsider Bloomberg’s prior presentation…. New York – Mike Bloomberg may still consider a run for the White House — particularly if touchy-feely Joe Biden decides to stay out of the race, according to a report. After months of speculation, the former New York City mayor said last month that he would not seek the presidency.. But...

by Jenn Carter President Trump spoke at the NRCC Spring Dinner on Tuesday night in Washington DC. Trump said he is confident Republicans will retake the House in 2020 after losing control of the lower chamber in last year’s midterm elections. He took a hilarious swipe at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' and her preposterous, $93 trillion Green New Deal, which called for the elimination of farting cows, air travel and heated homes in the next 12 years. Trump also roasted cowardly Democrats who are too scared to stop the AOC Crazy Train. President Trump: “The Green New Deal, done by a young...
