You may be happy with the state of the U.S. economy, but many young people aren't. And as a result, a lot of them are embracing political extremism. A recent poll by YouGov finds that half of all millennials -- and even more of the generation that follows them -- distrust capitalism. Seventy percent of millennials say they'd be willing to vote for a socialist. If you're not shocked by this, it's only because you've seen it before. But it ought to scare you. It's taken us almost 250 years to build this country, and we could wreck it in...

With House passage Thursday of a resolution formalizing their blatantly partisan impeachment witch hunt against President Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow crazed radical Democrats have declared war on the duly elected president of the United States. Now it’s time for Republicans to draw up their own declaration of war against Democrats. The Democrats – who didn’t pick up a single Republican vote for their baseless resolution to move forward with a kangaroo court masquerading as public impeachment hearings – are choosing to tear apart the country we all love because they are consumed by their burning hatred...

A new Bosstown Dynamics video created by Corridor has gone viral. The video has over two million views so far. Many are fooled by the well-done video, assuming that the images are real. It is not hard to understand.  There are videos of actual Russian robots shooting guns, videos of dog-like American military experimental robots, and others. We are on in the process of breakthrough technologies. It is a continuing revolution that started about 500 years ago. We can call this advance the computer revolution, the digital revolution, the information age, or the beginning of the singularity. The Bosstown Dynamics...

Warren’s $52T 'Medicare-for-all' plan revealed: Campaign still claims no middle-class tax hikes needed EXCLUSIVE: Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s long-awaited "Medicare-for-all" funding plan projects the government-run health care system would cost a staggering sum of "just under $52 trillion" over the next decade, with the campaign proposing a host of new tax increases to pay for it while still claiming the middle class would not face any additional burden. “We don’t need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare for All,” Sen. Warren, D-Mass., said in her plan — a copy of which was...

A Pittsburgh activist who regularly organizes protests concerning racism in the city was charged Wednesday with setting fires in Pizza Milano — the Uptown pizza shop that drew ire in 2018 after an interaction between a manager and a black woman — and Cafe Milano Downtown. Nicole Jo Dawson, 36, of Beechview, is accused of walking into Pizza Milano on Fifth Avenue shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday with a beer bottle that had a cloth sticking out the neck. Ms. Dawson lit the cloth on fire, then walked into the kitchen and threw the bottle into a fryer filled with...

During the House's historic vote to set the ground rules for the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, members shouted and booed as the votes popped up in lights on the wall above them. Why it matters: The Legislative Branch embarks on its ultimate weapon against the Executive Branch with the two parties locked in corners. You could see Republicans shaking their heads as the "Yea" votes soared. Speaker Pelosi lost only two Democrats; no Republicans crossed over. Flashback: It wasn't this stark 21 years ago, for the 1998 vote launching the impeachment of William J. Clinton: 31 Democrats joined all...

Washington (CNN) — House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said Thursday that transcripts from the impeachment inquiry's closed-door interviews could start being publicly released as early as next week. Schiff made the revelation when he told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time" that accusations from Republicans that the minority party isn't getting enough time to ask questions in the closed-door depositions are false. "Those arguments you've heard are almost completely false, with only one exception," Schiff said. "And when you see the transcripts, and we expect to begin releasing them as early as next week, you'll see that the Republicans...

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — President Donald Trump is traveling to Mississippi on Friday to try to shore up Republican support ahead of the state’s toughest governor’s race in nearly a generation, with two established politicians competing for the open seat. Four years ago, Mississippi’s Democratic nominee governor was a little-known trucker who did not vote for himself in the primary and went on to lose the general election by more than 34 percentage points. Republicans have held the Mississippi governorship for 24 of the past 28 years. This year, though, Democrats in this conservative Deep South state think they have...

LEAVE voters in key Brexit battleground seats will deliver Jeremy Corbyn to No10 if they back Nigel Farage in the general election. Boris Johnson's hopes could be torpedoed if the pro-Leave vote is split with the Brexit Party in 90 constituencies - giving Labour a clear run.

Two Democratic congressmen broke with their party Thursday to vote against the House resolution formalizing the rules and procedure for the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, a move that ushers in a new and public phase of the investigation. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., took the unusual step of presiding over the House during the vote. The resolution passed largely along party lines, 232-196. Republican senators who were invited to lunch at the White House Thursday told reporters back on Capitol Hill that Trump pointed to the defections as proof of bipartisan opposition to the resolution. "He mentioned the...

The populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) relegated the Christian Democratic Union of German Chancellor Angela Merkel into third place as they saw a surge of support in the region of Thuringia. The regional branch of the AfD in Thuringia, led by firebrand politician Björn Höcke, managed to score 23.4 per cent of the vote on Sunday, coming second to the far-left Die Linke, a descendant of the former East German (DDR) Communist Party who won 31 per cent, Deutsche Welle reports. The result left the CDU of Chancellor Merkel in third place with 21.8 per cent of the vote, a...

The president’s eldest son is angry about the Democratic ‘witch hunt’ against his father, so he and his girlfriend dressed up on Halloween as one. In images posted on Instagram, Kimberly Guilfoyle provided the ‘witch’, dressing in a witch’s costume that included a hat. Donald Trump Jr, meanwhile, wore military style camouflage hunting gear and carried a bow. The location where the photo was taken is labeled as ‘The Swamp’ - the derogatory term that President Trump uses to describe Washington, DC.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says fellow freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.), who is resigning her seat citing a series of explicit photographs published in conservative outlets, was the victim of a "major crime" that could deter other young women from running for office. Hill is the subject of an ethics investigation into allegations of an affair with a staffer in her congressional office, but she specifically cited the photographs, the release of which she attributes to her estranged husband, in her resignation announcement. She has denied the affair but conceded a relationship with a campaign staffer, which does not violate...

As we’ve told you, many in the media went into immediate Trump-era “journalism” mode with their takes on an obvious Photoshop of Trump giving the dog who helped kill al-Baghdadi a medal after it was shared by the president on Twitter. If you missed it, here’s Trump’s tweet: AMERICAN HERO! Fortunately CNN’s Jim Acosta was there to help piece everything together by letting America in on some inside info: A WH official said "the dog is not at the WH." The nation awaits Snopes’ final determination but for now we’ll take Jim Acosta’s word for it:

When the Titanic went down, it had its lights on.

Impeaching President Donald Trump is legally flawed. The chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America requested that Ukraine assist our attorney general in investigating possible criminal activity in 2014 through 2016. Ukraine entered into the "Treaty Between the United States of America and Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters," negotiated by President William Clinton and ratified by the U.S. Senate in 2000 while Clinton was still president. So what Trump asked newly elected Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to do, Ukraine was already compelled to do by its reciprocal treaty with the United States. (Zelensky was...
