“Those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.” Former President Richard Nixon, in a 1977 interview with David Frost describing the most important thing he had learned from the Watergate experience. It has been 45 years (this week) since Richard Nixon resigned the presidency. President Nixon was as complicated as he was brilliant. Even Bill Clinton, who spoke at his funeral, came to value his insight. Today we see a party and their activists elevating hate to an art form. The media, which used to serve as a regulator, has largely joined in...

According to right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter, there is more to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy charges than meets the eye. According to Coulter, Epstein had a “state sponsor” for a “blackmailing” operation, meant to entrap powerful men so that some higher entity could control them with threats of their dirty deeds being exposed. Coulter noted that she has long been making this claim, and cited Epstein’s light sentence on state charges for soliciting an underage prostitute in 2007 as evidence. The light charges and prison sentence allowed Epstein to roam free until he was arrested again Saturday. “Epstein, according...

In light of Jeffrey Epstein’s Saturday morning death, author and right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter spoke to The Rundown News. Coulter has been following and reporting on the Epstein scandal since 2006. “Whomever/whatever was behind the sexpot/pedophile ring has already been big enough to thwart a state prosecution, a federal prosecution and now we have a fake suicide of the main actor,” Coulter said by email. The news of Epstein’s death has an ominous implication for the individuals who were finally going to get their day in court – some of whom have been waiting for more than 20 years. “Look...

“Algae? But... isn’t that gross?” That’s what Rebecca White commonly hears from surprised people at her booth at trade shows, after the unsuspecting visitors find out the snack bar they just ate, and actually really liked, contains algae. White is a research scientist at iWi, a nutrition company that runs one of the largest algae farms. She isn’t offering snacks filled with algae just to show people that the mossy greens can be added to food without making it taste or smell like pond water. The real mission is to discuss algae’s potential as a solution for a much bigger...

The U.S. State Department recently revised its definition of anti-Semitism, in an apparent response to recent comments and actions by U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. The previous definition of anti-Semitism, issued in May, listed 10 examples. The revised definition now lists 11 examples, adding that anti-Semitism now includes “(d)rawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The leader of a U.S.-based pro-Israel organization praised the move last week. “Kudos to @SecPompeo and Special Envoy Elan Carr,” Adam Milstein, a philanthropist and co-founder of the Adam and Gila Milstein Foundation, wrote on Twitter. “It’s more clear now, the...

On 26 July 2019, progressive City Attorney of San Diego, Mara W. Elliott had an article published in SDNEWS.COM. The article was grossly misleading. Politicians lie regularly. City Attorneys should be held to a higher standard.  In this case, Mara W. Elliot is acting as a politician, as she proposed the Safe Storage Firearms Ordinance. Here is a quote from the article. From sdnews.com: Firearms are a leading cause of injury-related deaths among children, second only to motor vehicle injury deaths. Most of the 7,000 children killed and injured each year are shot are in their own homes. Most...

It seems Joe Biden can’t escape the gaffe curse. The frontrunner to become the Democratic presidential candidate told reporters in Iowa on Saturday that “those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” But when they went to Capitol Hill, lawmakers were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.” The problem with this tale? The shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead took place in 2018, more than a year after Biden left the White House.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Saturday released an ambitious plan to combat gun violence that combines executive orders and congressional action with the aim of to reducing gun deaths by 80%. The plan comes amid renewed calls for gun control one week after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left more than 30 dead. [Snip] Like Sens. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Warren wants a federal requirement that every gun owner undergo training and get a license. Warren also proposed preventing people from buying more than one firearm a month and to increase the...

In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the inspector general, who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death,” Barr said. Epstein...

In a wide-ranging interview published by the Italian daily La Stampa Friday, Pope Francis said that the upcoming Vatican synod of bishops on the Amazon region will focus heavily on environmental issues.Asked why he convoked the synod, Francis said it is a “child” of his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si on care for creation. “Those who have not read it...
