Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) defended Venezuelan President Maduro’s order for troops to fire on humanitarian aid workers trying to delivery food to the nation’s starving inhabitants. “This food aid has not been approved by the legitimate government authorities,” Omar pointed out. “It is a totally ad hoc effort that is undermining the Maduro regime’s attempts to rally his people against the Yankee imperialism that is the root cause of the crisis in Venezuela.” “Venezuela used to be able to count on oil revenue to finance the country’s transition to socialism,” Omar maintained. “But under Trump’s radical deregulation policy the United...

Would you invest your own money in the “Green New Deal” as a good investment for the future? Or will leftists only put at risk other people’s money through taxpayer funds? Confront candidates for office and office-holders with whether they would sink their own money into this project. Send their answers to Big League Politics. The “Green New Deal” has been recently popularized primarily by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Venezuela) — while overshadowing many other Democrat Members of Congress standing right beside her. Even as snow fell in Los Angeles this year, and many cities experienced record — not just cold,...

Last week, 44 Senate Democrats blocked a bill that would have saved babies who survived abortion attempts from negligent homicide. Presidential candidates Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders all voted against Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Moderates, progressives, or socialists, it didn’t matter. Although the bill did nothing to restrict abortion, a yes vote would have been tantamount to admitting that babies subjected to post-22 week abortions are viable, which is something the alleged party of science can’t do...

<p>11:30 a.m.</p> <p>The House Judiciary Committee is launching a sweeping new probe of President Donald Trump, his White House, his campaign and his businesses. The panel is sending document requests to 81 people linked to the president and his associates.</p>

A baby in the midst of a whooping cough (pertussis) fit will appear to cry without making a sound. Her mouth will be open as she tries to cough to clear the mucus from her narrowed airway, but if she's really struggling, nothing will happen. Her lips and tongue might turn blue. She could seize. When the fit is finally over, she'll vomit. It's absolutely terrifying to watch (and no doubt, to experience), and precisely the type of picture public health organizations need to paint to counter anti-vaccination propaganda. No more stats about the infrequency of adverse reactions, or sterile...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) violated Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules pertaining to a candidate receiving a salary from his or her campaign. Specifically, Tlaib has two salary disbursements that have been called into question: one on Nov. 16 for $2,000 and another on Dec. 1 for $15,500. These are the rules laid out by the FEC (emphasis mine): The candidate may receive a salary from his or her campaign committee only under the following conditions: The salary must be paid by the principal campaign committee; The salary must not exceed the lesser of the minimum annual salary for the federal...

After receiving a set of Walmart gift cards before Christmas, Samantha Vandzura tucked them into a drawer for safekeeping while she went on vacation to Florida. After returning to Montreal a few weeks later, Vandzura decided to use the cards to buy baby supplies and drove to a Walmart. While at the checkout to pay, a cashier told a shocked Vandzura her cards, valued at $550, were already used and nearly drained of money. One card was empty. The second had a balance of just over $4. "I didn't even have my wallet with me," said Vandzura. Flustered, she quickly...

There is in the United States today a crisis of leadership — caused and perpetuated by an administration that uses fear to stoke divisions and lies to support broken policies. It would be easy for Americans to grow pessimistic — but as I’ve traveled to 25 states over the past year, I have found that the people of this country are better, and more caring, than these small-minded leaders would have us believe. The civic awakening we have experienced since January 2017 must become a sustained movement to reshape the future of this nation.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee unleashed a sprawling probe of President Trump's family, campaign and administration on Monday, that includes more than 80 requests for documents from associates of the president. Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Judiciary Democrats are expanding their probes into the president’s inner circle and family, as well as individuals involved in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting; plans to build a Trump property in Moscow; and a scheme to pay off women to alleged affairs with Trump before the 2016 election. Less than a week after the president’s former attorney Michael Cohen delivered explosive public...

Socialism is a lot like three-card Monte where the promises of winning are not just exaggerated but impossible Socialism is now a significant component of the reinvented Democratic party gaining momentum and visibility. Recently Democratic Presidental candidate Bernie Sanders held his first campaign rally in Brooklyn, New York amidst a crowd of cheering and enthusiastic supporters many of whom represent the youth and future of America.

AOC already House Speaker? Bernie Sanders ready for the transformation of America? How are we all supposed to sleep at night? While an ongoing Deep State coup d’état seeks to remove President Donald Trump from office, Democrat ‘progressives’ are working a dangerous and devious little coup of their own. Just two months after being sworn in as New York representative, Bernie Sander’s protégé Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already replaced Nancy Pelosi as de facto House Speaker, according to the usually spot-on Washington Examiner. AOC ending up as House Speaker came from a combination of Pelosi losing her grip on her party...

New graphic novel depicts Jesus beheading his foes with a whirling sword BY 13 COMMENTS Joe Casey and Benjamin Marra no doubt think of themselves as cool, edgy, and courageous, unafraid to incur charges of blasphemy from furious Christians. In fact, they’re banking on those charges: “Reports say the publisher is banking on blasphemy protests to propel sales.” This is part of the West’s cultural suicide. It’s cool, edgy and courageous to hate one’s own culture, history, and civilization, and to mock and defame its central figures. But Casey and Marra are unlikely to be as courageous when it comes...

If the 2020 election were held today President Donald Trump would win by a bigger margin than in 2016, carrying the most number of states since the Re-election of President Ronald Reagan. I say this because like I did two years before Barack Obama was elected, I saw trends that added up to a significant win, I noted them in this column, and they occurred in near complete detail. In 2016 with polls and every media pundit, and even many of his own supporters doubting the outcome of the election, I predicted the map that would match the election night...

Leftist activists put ‘Make America Great Again’ hats on some severely self-loathing white men and paraded them through Hollywood on leashes as some sort of bizarre “performance art.” According to a press release from the activist group Indecline, over two-dozen “men and women of color and members of the LGBT community” placed leashes and custom made dog collars on white men in red M.A.G.A. hats and walked them on all fours up and down Hollywood Boulevard on Sunday.

Soros Foundation demands EU ramp up pressure on Poland “or EU won’t survive” Poland is resisting the imposition of chaos, and so the country is being accused by the George Soros Foundation of threatening the entire European Union. The unintelligible arguments of globalists become increasingly unhinged. the Foundation has worked on projects to “prepare Polish society for reception of refugees”, to “form positive attitudes towards” a mass influx of Middle Eastern migrants, and training tens of thousands of professionals and officials in various roles to fight “prejudice towards minority groups” as well as “hateful online comments”. Never mind the chaos...
