NOTE: after seeing the YouTube, I could not resist contacting the two congresswomen. Maybe some of you would like to send them a fax with your opinion. FAX (202) 226-6890 Congresswoman Schakowsky: I saw the YouTube in which you refused to condemn Bill Maher for calling Sarah Palin a c*nt and dumb tw*t and for refusing to call on President Obama to return the $1 million that Maher gave to his SuperPac. Since it is apparently okay with you to use those demeaning and disgusting words against Governor Palin, I am going to presume that, if I wrote a parody...

The Obama legacy: — 19 trillion in debt — 1 in 5 Americans on food stamps — Worst labor force participation rate since Carter — Worst GDP rate since Great Depression And now this… Eight million more Americans are holding a second job today than they were when Obama took office. Scott Shellady at Varney and Co.: According to Tough Nickel in 2015 at least 7 million Americans were holding two jobs in 2015. This number has grown in the last year. People who are holding 2 or more jobs in this economy are not unusual. In fact, according to...

"In an interview Tuesday on ABC’s Good Morning America, former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros said Fox “has plenty of money” and suggested that “they’ve bought off a lot of women. What they don’t have is accountability.” In August, Tantaros filed a lawsuit claiming the network “operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny.” http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/andrea-tantaros-on-gma-fox-news-has-bought-off-a-lot-of-women/306506?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=referra  

Dennis Michael Lynch speaks to American women about Donald Trump

20) “It's the usual Socialist fiscal math of 1 + 1 = You're paying, so who cares.” - Rachel Marsden 19) "A noble leader willing to trounce liberties is a damned tyrant." -- Dr. Gina Loudon 18) "Silence is complicity. Speak now or surrender your ground." -- Michelle Malkin 17) "When did atheists become so evangelical? I mean, if you don't believe something to be true, wouldn't you just ignore it? That's certainly what I do. Whether it's leprechauns or a congressional debt reduction plan - if I'm convinced it's fiction, I simply put it out of my mind. Not...

Three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of offenses ranging from sexual harassment to rape relived their encounters with him Thursday night. Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey joined Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a news conference prior to Trump's debate with Hillary Clinton Sunday to discuss their experiences. On Thursday, they spoke to Fox News' Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview on "Hannity". "I thought that we might possibly be able to bring this out and influence people," said Broaddrick, a former nursing home administrator who claimed she was raped by Bill Clinton during his...

And he threatens to sue the New York Times for libel, too. One the one hand, dude, the entire country heard you on tape not only talking about doing the very thing you’re now being accused of, but bragging about it. That tends to complicate the standard denial. On the other hand, it is awfully curious that these accusations never came out until mere days after the tapes laid the groundwork for them, is it not? Where were these women before? Or was the timing of everything orchestrated by everyone involved - including NBC and the New York Times -...

I’m a woman, a racial minority, and an immigrant, and I grew up in inner-city America. I have two university degrees, one from Cornell University and another from Stanford Law School. I have worked for some of the most elite institutions in America, including a foreign policy organization that counts Chelsea and Bill Clinton among its members. According to conventional wisdom, I have no business being a Trump supporter. Yet I have been an unabashed fan since Trump declared his candidacy for president. In fact, never in my life have I been this excited about a presidential nominee. Strangers and...

We've been here before. "Six women who came into contact with Arnold Schwarzenegger on movie sets, in studio offices and in other settings over the last three decades say he touched them in a sexual manner without their consent." Gloria Allred was in on this political hit as well. Schwarzenegger did quite well in the recall election as I remember it.

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said. “No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.” At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment. More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in...

‘We stand behind the Republican ticket!’ ALEXANDRIA, Va. – “As the elected spokesperson of the most influential group of Republican women in the United States, I reaffirm the National Federation of Republican Women's unified support of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald J. Trump and Vice Presidential Nominee Mike Pence. We stand behind the Republican ticket, and we will continue to work day and night to defend our Constitution, uphold our conservative principles, and elect our GOP candidates," NFRW President Carrie Almond stated today. “With 30 years of Hillary Clinton history as a guide, we knew an onslaught of attacks would be...

Electing the first female president seems to be the only mission for Democrats and liberals. That would have been the case even if Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush had won the Republican nomination. The latest Wikileaks releases show the Clinton campaign's plans to use sexism, misogyny and character assassination to defeat any one of her Republican opponents. Exchanges in the Podesta email leaks show that Ted Cruz and Donald Trump were the preferred candidates for the Clinton campaign because of their less mainstream views and personal pasts. The only candidate that would have successfully neutralized Hillary Clinton's sexist...

A San Francisco-based hedge fund has filed a lawsuit against Theranos Inc, accusing the blood testing company of using fraudulent methods to attract an investment of nearly $100 million. The hedge fund, Partner Fund Management LP (PFM), filed the lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery on Monday afternoon, a letter to the hedge fund's investors said. 'Through a series of lies, material misstatements, and omissions, the defendants engaged in securities fraud and other violations by fraudulently inducing PFM to invest and maintain its investment in the company,' said the letter, which was reviewed by Reuters.

The United States has finished behind countries including Algeria and Kazakhstan in a new ranking of the best and worst countries in which to be a girl. The report compiled by Save the Children suggested Sweden was the best place for young females to live. Niger finished at the bottom. The U.S. was rated 32nd on the 144-country list. Not all rich countries are doing as well as they could for their girls, according to the non-governmental organization. It singled out the U.S. in particular. "There are things where we do not shine on the U.S. side," said Carolyn Miles,...

LONDON, Oct 11 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - One girl under 15 is married every seven seconds, according to a report by Save the Children released on Tuesday, with girls as young as 10 married off - often to much older men - in countries including Afghanistan, Yemen, India and Somalia. Early marriage not only deprives girls of education and opportunities but increases the risk of death or childbirth injuries if they have babies before their bodies are ready. "Child marriage starts a cycle of disadvantage that denies girls the most basic rights to learn, develop and be children," said Save...

Donald Trump made a historic move last night. For the first time in the history of politics, a Republican man had the guts to come out and really defend the women abused by Bill Clinton. There they were, front and center, with their defender, Donald Trump. It was as if to say, "See, this is what he did, and I'm damn mad about it. If you don't know about it, (Millennials), here they are. This stuff really happened." It was as if the alpha male was there protecting his pride. Trump is a man. Real men like and love women....

DeMonte: Please Stand with Donald Trump Dear activists, leaders, voters of the great state of Illinois! It has been a difficult election cycle and it has gotten even worse. If we allow words verses deeds to decide this election we will be stuck with Hillary Clinton! Trump may be flawed but Hillary is a criminal! Our nominee Donald Trump needs us to stand with him! Last night I send the following email to every member of the Republican National Committee – and I have had many, many positive responses from my fellow members! Please stand with Donald Trump – for...

Are some pu$$ies more equal than others? Rampant media foofaraw notwithstanding, Donald J. Trump, as it turns out, is not the leader of the Pu$$y Posse, because it is Barack Hussein Obama who holds that dubious honour. The Donald doesn’t own the term “pu$$y”, and in fact when he was unknowingly recorded saying it 11years ago, it was intended only for Billy Bush’s ears. Obama, on the other hand, openly bragged about Malcolm X’s use of the term in his book, ‘Dreams From My Father’ and did it with a noticeable chuckle in his voice during the 1995 Cambridge Public...

Bill Clinton: Set the bar for presidential relationships with women lower than any other president (with possible competition from Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy before the advent of the Internet). Donald Trump can easily convince most objective observers of both parties that what he has said and done in relation to women on a personal level is not as objectionable as what Bill and Hillary Clinton have said and done in relation to women on a personal level. Although it is true that Trump is not running against Bill but against Hillary, what Bill said and did as...

A Washington Post story about a lewd conversation between Donald Trump and Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood" in 2005 was viewed with scorn and derision by both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Bill homed in on Trump's description of his attempt to seduce a woman by offering to buy her furniture. "What kind of a loser has to stoop so low to garner the attentions of a woman?" he asked. "On top of that Trump admits that he failed to achieve his objective. Kissinger was the one who had it right—power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Maybe if Trump had been a...
