It appears there is at least one ethnic group that is safe to mock on CNN. WASPs, namely White Anglo Saxon Protestants. CNN's Chris Cuomo mocked FNC host Tucker Carlson for what he perceived (not quite accurately) was Carlson's ethnic background to slam him during Cuomo Prime Time, Thursday.

By the time Hillary Clinton took the stage in Atlanta on Friday to address a venerated civil rights group, many in the room had invoked the incendiary tweets by the man who defeated her that roiled politics in Georgia and the rest of the nation. And Clinton held little back at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, labeling President Donald Trump’s assertion that four liberal congresswoman of color should “go back” to their home countries as racist before presenting the activists in the hotel ballroom with a challenge. “We are better than this, but we better start proving it, not just...

Thought I’d take just a few moments to explain just what the gob-smacking greatness of Trump really is. Nobody seems to be aware of it. So I fly in like mighty mouse to “save the day!” BTW-on a side note I am seeing Trump with his Sir Kaepernick commercial and now his picked fight with the right honorable Omar person and the super-right honorable AOC. Here’s my suggestion. As the election draws near, do a commercial where you morph Kaepernick and have the illustrious 2 beside him. They could be the new Tony Orlando and Dawn. Morph it up. They...

Sen. Bernie Sanders is a staple on the front lines of the labor fight, leading the charge in Washington and around the country to raise the minimum wage for workers to $15 an hour. But within his own campaign, which unionized earlier this year, tense discussions over pay have spilled out into public view. The dispute threatens to undermine Sanders' political message and, if it were to escalate, his ability to credibly advocate for workers around the country currently engaged in their own struggles to negotiate higher wages and better working conditions. Word of the discontent first emerged publicly on...

He shouldnÂ’t have been able to do that, according to how most people understand the Wisconsin governorÂ’s veto authority July 16, 2019 Wisconsin governors can use their partial veto authority to remove items from a bill or to reduce fiscal amounts. They cannot use the veto to insert items into a bill or increase fiscal amounts. Yet, Governor Evers found a way to increase the per pupil aid funding by over $85 million. HereÂ’s how he did it. Step 1: The legislature set the new per pupil aid amounts with this language in the budget. $679 would be the amount...

AP Images ✔ @AP_Images 50 years ago today, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne, 28; some time later, Kennedy's car went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned. Let’s start this in reverse, as it’s the best way to put this in perspective. It’s not true that Kopechne “drowned.” The coroner never autopsied the body, itself a curious omission when dealing with an unattended death of a healthy young woman. Eyewitness testimony by the person who recovered her body at the scene,...

On Thursday, another decades-old quote of Biden’s surfaced courtesy of the Trump campaign’s opposition research team Since entering the presidential race, former Vice President Joe Biden has faced repeated questions about past statements he’s made criticizing school busing, fondly remembering racist white senators, and helping pass draconian laws in the ill-conceived drug war. On Thursday, another decades-old quote of Biden’s surfaced courtesy of the Trump campaign’s opposition research team. A September 20, 1987, story in the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Biden had bragged about receiving an award from George Wallace, the former Alabama governor and one of America’s most notorious segregationists....

China is building a potent air launched anti-ship cruise missiles along with aircraft to carry those weapons. Meanwhile, the once-dormant Russian bomber force is back—though not in the numbers of the Soviet era. Moreover, with the emergence of new adversary stealth aircraft—some of which have the capability to fly very high and very fast—which are also armed with cruise missiles, the Navy will need the range and speed that the Tomcat offered to fend off those threats. The F/A-18E/F can do the job—but only to an extent.The United States Navy retired the venerable Grumman F-14 Tomcat in 2006 after more than three decades in...

[Catholic Caucus] Villanova historian says Chaput, Cordileone, and Strickland are ‘devout schismatics’ A Church historian at Philadelphia’s Villanova University has said three U.S. bishops are “devout schismatics” who try to diminish the authority of Pope Francis.“They are devout in the sense that they publicly display their preference for a traditionalist Church and its devotions, such as the rosary. They are schismatics because they openly promote the undermining of the bishop of Rome among the Catholic faithful,” Massimo Faggioli wrote in a July 16 essay for La Croix magazine.Faggioli made specific mention of three U.S. bishops among those he called “devout...

Who are the real American patriots? Who are the real racists? These two questions will play a big role in the 2020 election. The left is desperate to turn any traditional patriotic appeal into an act of racism. The left is desperate to smear Republicans and moderate Democrats as racists. Part of this desperation is in the left’s inability to debate the facts and their hope that strong smears can shame their opponents out of broaching the argument. Part of this desperation is in the left’s growing realization that President Trump and the Republicans are beginning to attract minority support...

A new film, Hidden Figures, tells the story of the maths wizards who Nasa relied on. When John Glenn was waiting to be fired into orbit aboard Friendship 7 in 1962, there was one person he trusted with the complex trajectory calculations required to bring him down safely from his orbital spaceflight: Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked in Nasa’s segregated west area computers division. “Get the girl, check the numbers,” Glenn said before boarding the rocket. “If she says they’re good, I’m good to go.” Johnson was one of three female African-American mathematicians known as the “computers in...
