They won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president,” Leon Cooperman declared rather hyperbolically at a CNBC event Thursday. Later on television, the billionaire investor backed off a bit, but added that if Sen. Warren (D., Mass.) or her main rival on the left for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Ind., Vt.), were to win next year’s election, a bear market lasting a year and knocking stock prices down 25% would likely follow.

FULL TITLE: 'Not one cent': Hunter Biden tells ABC News he received NO money from China — but his bank records tell a different story Financial records from Morgan Stanley show funds from anonymous LLCs in China going directly into Biden's account On Tuesday's radio program, Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and chief researcher Jason Buttrill talked about Hunter Biden's interview on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, during which the former vice president's son denied any wrongdoing in his business dealings with either Ukraine or China.

Beijing wants a rollback in tariffs in its trade war with the U.S. before China can feasibly agree to buy as much as $50 billion of American agriculture products that President Donald Trump claims are part of an initial deal, people familiar with the matter said. (please see link for full article)

Do President Trump’s policies make me look fat? That’s the sort of question some black women may be asking themselves, a Rutgers University professor suggested during a recent appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Although, more accurately, the problem may be the stress and anxiety caused by the policies than the policies themselves, Brittney Cooper, who teaches gender studies at the New Jersey-based university, said on a recent episode of “Black Women OWN the Conversation.”

A Texas woman was shot dead by a Fort Worth police officer in her home after she heard noises outside, picked up a handgun and pointed it at a window, the officer's arrest warrant showed on Tuesday.

The noises were Dean, 34, and his partner moving around the back of her home, without announcing their presence, after they were sent to...

The effects of Donald Trump’s presidency on the American economy are widely debated, but there’s at least one field of production whose boom is indisputably a result of his election: the conservative voter ethnography industry. Since Trump’s rise, article after article has tracked down Trump voters in some small town in a formerly Democratic state. The pieces vary in tone — some are journalistically objective, others are more personal — but they all seem to end with the author silently shaking their head, confounded by the unbreachable irrationality of these voters. Monica Potts’s recent opinion piece in the New York...

Chief Brexiteer Nigel Farage has said that Boris Johnson should accept a delay to Brexit. In a video on his YouTube channel, Farage addresses the Prime Minister directly – calling on him to accept the Brexit extension that’s been “forced” on him by MPs. Indeed, if Johnson doesn’t come back from Brussels with a deal this week, he is mandated to ask the EU for a Brexit delay until 31st January 2020. And now, after haranguing MPs for weeks for “betraying” Brexit, Farage is also in favour of a delay. He says that Johnson should “sit out” this week’s EU...

President Trump’s reelection campaign says it is hiring staff and opening field offices in Minnesota and New Mexico, two traditionally blue states the president’s strategists have identified as having potential to flip in 2020. Still, the Trump campaign believes that both states are in play this time around. On a conference call with reporters, a senior official said the campaign is working on a “huge buildout” of paid staffers and a volunteer network in Minnesota that will dwarf their 2016 efforts there. In the past election, the campaign had only one staffer on the ground in Minnesota, and that person...

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 Bernie Sanders’ Perpetual Motion Green New Deal Posted by Daniel Greenfield 0 Comments One time, as I was riding in an Uber from the airport, the driver began explaining perpetual motion. Even though we were in a motor vehicle which needed regular infusions of gasoline to keep going, the driver, who was a devotee of ancient Egyptian technology, claimed that the pyramids were really generators, that modern technology had been stolen by the white man, and that free energy was real. He also had a video of a perpetual motion machine powered by a bicycle chain....

Hopes for a breakthrough in the Brexit negotiations between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the European Union have surged in recent days, but the positive mood music from diplomats masks a harder reality for Mr. Johnson: He may be forced into concessions that make his deal impossible to sell at home. Boris is frantically trying to bridge a gap over the thorny issue of how to treat NI in a post-Brexit Europe in time for a crucial summit meeting of the European Union later this week. The down-to-the-wire talks between diplomats began on Tuesday morning, with some officials predicting that...

An increased American military presence in Saudi Arabia creates a "magnet" for Islamic extremism in the region, and presents an open target for radical jihadists, said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., during a Sunday television interview. Paul expressed dismay at President Trump's decision to send 2,800 more American soldiers to Saudi Arabia after their old fields were attacked, during an interview on "Meet the Press." He claimed the Saudis need to change their attitude before they can expect financial and military support from the United States. "I’m not [comfortable with it]," Paul said. "I would withhold troops and arms from the...

Key Points Modi’s “rapturous welcome” at Madison Square Garden in 2014 was repeated at the Howdy Modi festival in Houston, where his rapport with Trump was on display. “Make in India” and “America First” were evident at the leaders’ unresolved tariff equity discussions. The cost advantage for US firms to operate in low-waged India and questions around H-1B visas are background issues. New collaborations are crucial to Indo-US strategic interoperability. The US-proposed tri-service exercise aims to consolidate US-India defence ties. Summary US and Indian national and strategic interests play out across a range of issues and areas of potential engagement....

A gang of ghoulish bullies broke into a bizarre Halloween dance in front of a television director on his way to work, then pummeled the senior when he tried to walk around them, police said. John Sullivan, 72, had just gotten off the train at Sixth Ave. near W. 43rd St. about 2:20 a.m. Monday and was heading to 30 Rockefeller Center when nine people in their early 20s suddenly blocked his path. “They were circling around me, and they were pointing their fingers in my face. They’re dancing, and all of a sudden they’re punching me. They beat the...

One thing lawmakers should consider when they pass a law isn’t just how it will be enforced but also how that enforcement will sway people’s behavior. For example, the idea behind the death penalty is, in part, that executing people will dissuade others from committing such heinous crimes. That’s the goal.However, sometimes the enforcement may actually push people into behaving very differently than originally intended.A case last week in Connecticut is just such an example. Sgt. Jennifer Pinto said police were called to Reynolds Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday on a report of a car burglary that involved...

Newsweek has published an opinion piece blasting the Louisiana Unsafe Abortion Act currently before the Supreme Court by arguing that the law, which requires abortionists to have “active admitting privileges” at hospitals within 30 miles, is not based on science. The author, Sarah CM Roberts, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the radically pro-abortion University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). UCSF is a hotbed of abortion activism that includes funding and training abortionists at dozens of colleges around the country. Given the author’s associations, it is no surprise that the piece is...
