Video at link. Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy said Wednesday that he views all of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates as being socialist, expressing skepticism about the so-called moderates who are running. “I’m not buying this storyline of progressives versus moderates. I would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist,” Kennedy told “America’s Newsroom," responding to some of the contentious moments at Tuesday night's debate. “What I heard last night, even from the so-called less liberal candidates, and I'm not impugning their integrity, but ... I heard a job-killing, soul-crushing, socialist agenda. The only thing missing...

The “Nordic Paradise” that was Sweden until a few decades ago, has become a virtual nightmare with the influx of thousands of migrants from the Middle East, most of them unwilling to assimilate. The homogeneous society that was once Sweden, with low crime, and strong work ethics, has turned into a multicultural society, replete with crime, social instability, and declining productivity. For the many believers in the workability of social democracy, Sweden was a model of success and admiration. While personal taxes were high, the state provided its citizens with a lavish social welfare system and cradle-to-grave social services....

Ryan was the only one of the 10 candidates on stage in Detroit not to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem. "The View" co-host Meghan McCain quickly pointed out the incident on Twitter. “Put your hand over your heart for the star spangled banner Tim Ryan!!!” she wrote.

During the debate between Democratic presidential candidates Tuesday evening, fake journalist and moderator Don Lemon revealed his true colors by portraying President Donald Trump as an irredeemable racist."What do you say to those Trump voters," he asked the candidates, "who prioritize the economy over the president's bigotry?"Yes, that was a question. For real. This is a real question CNN "journalist" Don Lemon asked tonight at the #DemDebate: "What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president's bigotry?" What a joke. pic.twitter.com/wQ7y6EoZZ2— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) July 31, 2019 This truly is shocking. Everybody already...

Illegal Immigrant Bought Baby for $80 in Guatemala to Get Priority Release in USJuly 30, 2019 Updated: July 31, 2019 WASHINGTON—Children are being rented, bought, recycled, and kidnapped so that single adults, mostly men from Central America, can gain quick release into the United States after crossing the border illegally. The cost of renting a child varies. “We’ve had indications … that it could cost anywhere from a few hundred—or even in some cases, less than $100—up to $1,000 or more,” said Kevin McAleenan, acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), during a congressional hearing on July 18....

Prior to the second round of Democratic primary debates in Detroit July 30, DNC Chairman Tom Perez addressed the crowd of voters and donors to lay out what his party had to offer in 2020. After gushing over the twenty candidates’ “inclusive vision” of America, Perez freaked out about democracy and climate change. He vented that “our democracy is on fire and it’s a five-alarm blaze,” and predictably lashed out at Republicans for linking Democrats with the rise of socialism in the U.S. As he brought up climate change he ranted against EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler: TOM PEREZ: And our...

Not even a Democratic debate could distract the leftist late-night loon Stephen Colbert from trashing on President Trump late Tuesday night. Colbert welcomed Jeff Daniels on The Late Show where he became the latest in a series of actors on the program to make a vile comment towards the President, including the hope that Trump’s opponent can “punch him in the face.” What better way to discuss Daniels role in the play rendition of How to Kill a Mockingbird than by stoking racial animus? This was surly the thought roaming in Colbert’s head when he posed this question to Daniels:...

I will admit up front that I do not follow British politics particularly closely and that most of my friends who do were backing Boris Johnson for the leadership of the United Kingdom’s Tory party. He is, apparently, a conservative of sorts, although when anyone who is actually conservative presses his supporters on his specific credentials, I find they tend to mumble quite a bit. Unsurprisingly, the Mail on Sunday’s Burkean columnist Peter Hitchens is decidedly unimpressed with the new prime minister, who is now safely ensconced at 10 Downing Street. Regardless of whether or not Johnson is a British-style...

While the 2020 election is still more than a year away, a number of House Republicans —just months into their current term—have announced they will not be seeking reelection. With his Monday announcement, Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah became the latest Republican member of the House to announce he will not run in 2020. Bishop joins three others who have declared similar intentions in the past two weeks alone: five-term Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama, six-term Rep. Pete Olson of Texas, and two-term Rep. Paul Mitchell of Michigan. There are now a total of eight Republicans who are retiring in...

Multiple leftist women's advocacy groups – Higher Heights, the National Women’s Law Center and UltraViolet Action– have come together to launch a petition "demanding better representation of debate moderators. While they're happy that at least one woman is moderating every debate, the groups say there's still a "representation problem." According to the organizations' heads, the moderators are not reflective of the Democratic Party's voters.

On behalf of myself, and on behalf of my country, to you and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation's history, in honor of your ancestors and for the sake of your children, please hear this from my heart...

House Democrats up in arms over President Trump’s attacks on minority lawmakers are sounding a warning to their own party heading into the 2020 elections: Don’t take the bait. While Democrats have rushed to the defense of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member Trump has attacked this week, they also sense the president is setting a political trap. Democrats won the House in 2018 campaigning on health care, income inequality and other legislative priorities, and there is concern that Trump’s rhetoric is designed simply to distract voters from those policy debates.

If Diet and Drug Science Is Uncertain, How About Evolution? July 29, 2019 | Jerry Bergman Darwinists Proclaim Molecules-to-Man Evolution is a Proven Fact— But scientists are not sure about the best diet and the efficacy of new drugs! by Dr Jerry Bergman Evolutionists are so confident that molecules-to-man evolution is true that court decisions have contentedly ruled that, because this view is consensus science and unequivocally true, it must be taught as fact. As a result, academic institutions think that both teachers and professors can be justly terminated if they do not teach it as fact.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wilson Cruz, a co-star in the new Hulu animated children's series "The Bravest Knight," describes the show's dad couple this way: "We're not explaining homosexuality, or same-gender sexuality. We're talking about the love of a family." His words and those of his fellow Hulu father, T.R. Knight, speak loudly about the state of LGBTQ representation in TV fare for kids, a segment of media that has been broadening story lines over the last several years to include a range of non-binary characters. "It's these parents that love her and care about her. That's it," Knight told...

Video at link. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday that President Trump was the big winner at Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate. "It was a really good night for Donald Trump. He could hardly have hoped for a better debate. You had a handful of rational moderates, [like] Congressman Delaney. Their soundbites are perfect and could replace half of the Trump ads next year because they come out and tell the truth. This stuff is crazy," said Gingrich, noting the far-left proposals from the candidates on immigration and health care. He said Sen. Bernie Sanders,...

The Indian government has made history by criminalising 'instant divorce' for Muslims. India's upper house passed a bill Tuesday banning the centuries-old practice that allowed men to separate from their wives by saying 'talaq' - or divorce - three times. Husbands who use it now can be jailed for up to three years or be fined. The move have been welcomed by feminist groups, but one influential Islamic group said it would launch a legal challenge.

Conspiracy theories may get a lot of traction on social media, but they don’t fare nearly as well in federal court. The Democratic National Committee learned that the hard way yesterday after having their lawsuit against Donald Trump’s campaign over Russian collusion dismissed for being “entirely divorced from the facts.” Not only did the DNC not provide any evidence of collusion, the sharing of DNC e-mails after their publication is covered by the First Amendment, Judge John Koetl ruled: A federal judge in New York on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Democratic National Committee against the Russian...

Is a trade deal with China just around the corner? The White House announced this morning that an “enforceable trade deal” is now in sight after “constructive” talks with China in Shanghai. In a key concession, China has agreed to open its market for more American agricultural imports, which would be a huge win for farmers in the Midwest.That is, if China gets pinned down to that position: Update from the White House on the Shanghai talks: "The Chinese side confirmed their commitment to increase purchases of United States agricultural exports. … we expect negotiations on an enforceable trade...

I’ll say it again, there is not a single candidate currently running that will beat Donald Trump in 2020. Not one. Unless someone steps up his or her game big league, Donald Trump is going to win a second term as president of the United States. Now, that being said, after tonight’s CNN Democratic debate, there had to have been a winner. I thought Sen. Bernie Sanders was one of them. He needed to be feisty, aggressive, and willing to attack. He did that, but he will need to destroy his best pal, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, to start a foundation...

There was one grown-up onstage last night in Detroit, trying to tether his party to reality. Unless John Delaney’s candidacy catches fire, the Democrats will match straight towards the disaster that Rahm Emanuel cautioned them about Monday: Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel warned Democratic presidential contenders Monday not to “win the nomination in a way that forecloses a path to victory in the general election.” John Delaney had what many consider the best moment of the debate, telling Bernie Sanders why his Medicare for All program would seriously degrade the quality of healthcare.
