Actions Speak Louder Than Words – This is an older interview with Ivanka Trump from October of 2015. However, within the interview you see why the progressive left (within Hillary Clinton Camp) is desperately afraid of Donald Trump. Candidate Donald Trump has an actual history of empowering, advancing, and promoting strong women within his organization. Everything about Ivanka Trump runs completely counter to the narrative the progressive left need to advance Clinton. In this interview Ivanka absolutely destroys the archetype ‘sexism’ approach.

That Donald Trump is having a serious problem with the women’s vote should not be a surprise as he is an anachronism in his outlook towards the opposite sex. While he has adapted to some degree, as he does employ women executives in his real estate development and marketing business, Trump is, as were many of his generation, a product of the male chauvinist mindset of the 1950’s and 60’s. I am a few years older than Trump and during the 1960’s I was also steeped in the then-prevalent male outlook towards women. The philosophical outlook of Playboy magazine and...

On April 1st, the combat exemption for women in the U.S. military was lifted. This means women can and will be involuntarily assigned to infantry and ground units. This also means that brutal and horrific violence against women is now legal as long as it comes from the hands of the enemy. The American public is largely removed from the military and we didn’t even hear a whimper from the fathers and mothers of America that their daughter on active duty now can potentially be assigned to a combat unit. It’s called orders. Choice is gone. This isn’t about women...

Sexism is driving women away from the GOP front-runner Donald Trump and the Republican Party, potentially providing a windfall to Hillary Clinton in a general election. But to ride women's discontent into the Oval Office, of course, Clinton has to win the Democratic nomination. And while she has maintained a strong advantage with women voters overall, she's not doing well with all women. White millennial women favor Bernie Sanders. Perhaps that's because the best rationale for Clinton's candidacy hasn't been effectively communicated to millennial women. There is a powerful case to be made for electing a woman president, and it...

Donald Trump missed a chance early in the presidential race to make inroads with independent female voters, but now the damage is done and analysts say the Republican front-runner likely can’t make amends with women he repulsed by spewing insults and sexist remarks. Republican presidential candidates have suffered a gender gap for decades, but Mr. Trump turned the gap into an abyss, which polls show will doom him to a sweeping loss in a general election matchup against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. The real estate mogul fared worse than his two Republican rivals in theoretical matchups against Mrs. Clinton, largely...

Steven Shepard of Politico wrote an important article last week about Donald Trump's "rock bottom" ratings with women. And his low standing with women has certainly become a much-discussed topic among pundits analyzing the Donald Trump candidacy. An overlooked story, however, is that Hillary Clinton, who might become the first female president in the history of the United States, isn't far behind in her unfavorability ratings among women. Our just-released poll shows that Donald Trump has a 68 percent unfavorable rating among women. But 58 percent of women say they view Hillary Clinton unfavorably. In fact, Hillary's unfavorable rating was...

(NBC) - Donald Trump says he regrets retweeting an unflattering photo of the wife of rival Ted Cruz, a rare move for the Republican front-runner more known for his boasts than backtracking. "Yeah, it was a mistake," Trump told New York Times. "If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it." The retweet set off a war of words between the two candidates, and gave fresh fuel to Democratic candidates and other critics who marveled at a Republican presidential race that had descended into a fight over the candidates' wives. Trump retweeted the photo compilation showing an...

The vlogger Niskey says this is "the first in a series of videos that debunk the media lies regarding Donald Trump and help #DefendDonald." He subtitles it "What the media won't tell you."

STORY HIGHLIGHTS * Trump has a 70% unfavorable and 23% favorable image among women * Men also give Trump net negative rating, but it is significantly better * Trump's gender gap is larger than any other major candidate's PRINCETON, N.J. -- Donald Trump's image among U.S. women tilts strongly negative, with 70% of women holding an unfavorable opinion and 23% a favorable opinion of the Republican front-runner in March. Trump's unfavorable rating among women has been high since Gallup began tracking it last July, but after rising slightly last fall, it has increased even further since January. These monthly averages...

An executive at Donald Trump’s hotel chain was arrested for throwing a young woman to the ground inside the parking garage of his luxury Brooklyn condo building, law enforcement sources said. Nathan Crisp, 34, was charged with misdemeanor assault for pushing Sheneik McCallum, 27, to the ground twice inside the parking garage of the Avalon Fort Greene condo tower at 10:52 p.m. on Sunday, sources said. The pair got into a fight after McCallum pulled into the garage to adjust her child’s car seat. Crisp, who was trying to get out of the garage, told McCallum that her car was...

Plenty of buzz about this last night, especially among anti-Trumpers struck by the coincidence of Trump superfan Newt criticizing him publicly on the same day that an even bigger superfan, Ann Coulter, called Trump “mental” in an interview. (Matt Drudge, yet another superfan, is leading as I write this with the news of Trump’s campaign manager being arrested for battery.) Are Trump’s cheerleaders heading for the lifeboats because they know something we don’t? Nah. They’re still onboard, they’re just alarmed that the captain won’t steer away from that iceberg that keeps getting closer. Trump’s fans within the commentariat have, I...

A women’s underwear line is selling Bloody Marys Period Panties. They include a “Blood Dumpster,” which places a picture of the face of a U.S. politician “in the crotch of a pair of Bloody Mary undies, for YOU to bleed all over!” Additionally, according to the retailer’s website, “$3 of every Bloody Marys sale goes to a Planned Parenthood located in the state governed by your chosen Blood Dumpster.”

Members of Sunday morning’s panel on CNN State of the Union are oblivious to the barbaric, anti-Western practice facing hundreds of thousands of U.S. girls as a result of unbridled Muslim migration. When the CNN panel sought to criticize Donald Trump for his so-called sexist retweet that has monopolized the news cycle for several days, Trump’s senior policy advisor Stephen Miller punched back, slamming Washington’s political class and corporate media for expressing “feigned indignation” about a retweet while ignoring serious issues facing U.S. women. “The political class in Washington D.C. works itself up into a feigned indignation about things that...

Update — AP’s latest on casualty count: “A spokesman for the Punjab government says that a bomb attack on a park in the Pakistani city of Lahore has killed 60 people and injured 300.” An explosion in Lahore, Pakistan, has killed between 50-60 people, mostly women and children, and left hundreds injured as they celebrated Easter. Law enforcement said the explosion occurred near a large group of Christians celebrating Easter, according to the Associated Press: Senior police officer Haider Ashraf says the explosion took place close to the children’s rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park. He says the explosion appeared to have...

In this strangest of primary seasons, women exist primarily in terms of their relationships to the men they marry or question or critique. They can either be beauties or beasts or "the love of my life." They can be "crazy" or "losers," "fat pigs" or "dogs." They can be mothers and daughters. They can be the currency with which you buy voters' belief in your machismo and alpha-maleness, or they can be the sand you kick in the face of a "New York bully." In every case, whether they are assets or liabilities, they are objects. In no case are...

CHIP REID CBS NEWS March 25, 2016 Trump Feeling Female Voter Backlash (snip) A CBS News/New York Times poll in October found that 57 percent of registered women voters had an unfavorable view of Trump. Now, it's up to 63 percent.

There is contradictory evidence with regards to Donald Trump's standing with women and whether or not he has a serious problem with females going into the November election. On the one hand, polls show huge numbers of women who say they can't see themselves supporting the candidate. On the other hand, exit polls from several primaries actually show Trump doing better with women than any other GOP candidate. Indeed, Trump may not have a big problem with Republican women. But the general election may be a different story. The Hill: A new CNN poll released Thursday, taken before the...

Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time. The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance. Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers...

A study finds that men are far more motivated than women to retire so they can spend time with their spouses. Spending more quality time with your partner is one reason to retire, right? Well, that may depend on whether you ask a man or a woman—and the difference may be a warning sign for men... While nearly 60% of men said having time to spend with their spouse or partner was a strong factor influencing their decision to retire, only 43% of women said the same. Far more women, 71%, cited the prospect of spending time with their grandchildren....

The tampon tax will be abolished by the summer, George Osborne announced last night. The Chancellor said that legislation for a zero rate of VAT on women’s sanitary products will be introduced next week as part of the Finance Bill. The move came after David Cameron was forced to beg EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker for permission to reduce the rate from the current 5 per cent minimum allowed under Brussels rules. The prime minister had to use a European summit on the migrant crisis to plead for help on reducing British rates on female sanitary products.
