This article is an adapted excerpt from “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s avoidance of impeachment was going to be one of many problems the House speaker would have with “The Squad.” Over the summer, her grip on power began to weaken, as she tried to put down a party rebellion.Pelosi’s compromise border security funding bill initially had only nominal Democratic opposition. But The Squad, consisting of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley, wanted to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not fund it. The Senate...

LeBron James’ NBA Bubble suite was revealed this week, and it is safe to say the Los Angeles Lakers star is living large. When fans heard that James and his fellow players were residing in Disney World’s Florida campus, nobody quite knew what to make of it. Were the digs nice? Were they low-class? It was unclear. This week, an answer emerged. In celebration of the NFL season commencing, James gave a sneak peak into his temporary home. It was impressive.

There's not much in the way of praise I'm prepared to acknowledge when it comes to the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. That said, I am today more convinced than at any time before that Hoover was correct to be concerned about the communist influence upon blacks when he learned Vladimir Lenin had said blacks "were a revolutionary class people" – albeit, I am convinced for reasons separate from those of Hoover. Lenin was saying that blacks were ripe for exploitation by being converted into a revolutionary class – through intellectual corruption and a generational inculcation of victimology –...

Will he run again? Is this the start of his comeback? These are questions that will be answered in due time. Former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum lost a nail-biter race to Gov. Ron DeSantis. It was a punch to the gut to Democrats in the state that pretty much forced them to reconsider if the state was indeed trending blue. The political environment for Democrats during the 2018 elections was excellent and they couldnÂ’t take back the governorÂ’s mansion? Furthermore, term-limited GOP Governor Rick Scott ran for Senate and beat incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson. Time passes and then...

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the essence of the new media. Once obsessed with the five “W's” and “H” — who, what, where, when, why, and how — much of the media's political coverage has turned into agenda-making and shaming. But up against some politicians, notably President Trump, some reporters fret it doesn’t work. (embed video not shown) On Sunday’s Meet The Press, moderator Chuck Todd said that Trump doesn’t “have shame” when the press call out his misstatements. On the show, guest Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, rued how the media have not figured out how to...

Rashida Tlaib and ‘useful idiots’ on parade at anti-Israel AMP conference. Joe Kaufman, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative and the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23). As Progressives continue to make the vilification of Israel a core issue for the Democratic Party, members of Congress continue to line up to embrace the hate. On Tuesday, September 15th, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) will be sponsoring an online virtual advocacy event (‘Palestine Advocacy Days’) featuring at least five US Representatives. But this...

A hectic scene emerged Monday outside McClellan Airport, where a California Highway Patrol cruiser and at least one other civilian vehicle in separate instances struck crowds of protesters who gathered outside President Donald Trump’s events in Sacramento, videos show. The incident involving a CHP cruiser occurred when a group of three activists approached the vehicle at the intersection of Watt Avenue and Airbase Drive, and one man attempted to climb on it, according to video posted to social media.

There’s a reason the media isn’t talking about the pattern. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. After an arson attempt at The Way Christian Church church in Berkeley, the pastor and the media blamed it on a racist who was lashing out at the church's Black Lives Matter banner. "McBride is now considering whether his decades long work challenging police brutality, registering people of faith to vote, or speaking out against white supremacy irritated the suspected arsonist, or whether they were angered...

Staten Island. Trump wins by 10 and Max Rose wins my 6 two years later. Earlier redistricting might have had something to do with it but Trump won. Our guys gotta show up because Rose is a whack job who served in uniform. Good recruitment, something we could learn.

Coronavirus cases continued to grow over the weekend in nearly a dozen U.S. states as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, warns about the nation’s worrying level of new infections. Covid-19 cases were growing by 5% or more, based on a weekly average to smooth out daily reporting, in 11 states as of Sunday, according to a CNBC analysis of data collected by Johns Hopkins University, an increase from eight states on Friday. The states were Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Wisconsin hit a record high in...

A new viral video has thousands of people praising God after a TikTok user said she was once an atheist but has since come to God due to the Christian content the popular app exposed her to. Last week, 32-year-old user Inkydoeshair, who identifies as Felicia on her profile, posted an emotional video that has since gone viral. The user pleaded with her followers for “help” because she was feeling conflicted after identifying as an atheist for so long. “Now I’m really confused because all I see are videos about God and Jesus, and I actually prayed the other night,...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The city of Louisville will pay several million dollars to the mother of Breonna Taylor and install police reforms as part of a settlement of a lawsuit from Taylor’s family, The Associated Press has learned. The settlement would be the largest sum paid by the city for a police misconduct case, according to a person who has seen the settlement. The person asked to not be identified because the settlement has not been announced publicly. Taylor’s shooting by police serving a narcotics warrant at her home has sparked months of protests in Louisville and calls nationwide...

Millie Bobby Brown has revealed that she struggled to do a British accent in her new role Enola Holmes after five years in the American Netflix series Stranger Things. The actress, 16, who shot to fame as Eleven in the hit Netflix show, revealed she 'found it really challenging being British' in the role of the upcoming mystery film.

The Transition Integrity Project – the antithesis of integrity – is building up an army of Trump and America haters in an effort to remove President Trump from office no matter what. The far left and Never-Trump group has connections to China, Obama, Soros and Hunter Biden, and yet it claims it is full of integrity and is non-biased.

An unrepentant old-school liberal, Joe Biden would crush the economy with three trillion dollars worth of new taxes and five trillion dollars in new spending. A new study released on Monday by the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) argues that this is a good thing. According to The Hill: “At the end of the day, they actually decrease debt because they do have significant revenue raisers,” Richard Prisinzano, director of policy analysis for PWBM, said in an interview with The Hill. “And the economy is more productive. As we put in things like education and infrastructure, workers become more productive,...

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton said on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Situation Room” that President Donald Trump has been a “useful idiot” in his dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and North Korean Kim Jong-un. Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked, “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman also told The Atlantic magazine President Trump is in his words, Vladimir Putin is a useful idiot. Do you agree with that characterization?

The Democrats have thrown the police under the bus and are unleashing their goons on America. The police are now being hunted out in the open and are being shot in cold blood. Rioters, meanwhile, are physically obstructing life-saving care to downed officers, and some are laughing. How can law enforcement continue to protect us if we don't speak out in their defense? Speak up, America, and fight for the protectors. Voices come in many forms. Millions of whispers and gestures can conquer thousands of screamers and slammers. Tell local law enforcement that you support them and appreciate them. Send...

The Black Lives Matter movement is not only anti-police, anti-white, anti-capitalist but also proudly neo-Marxist. Patrisse Cullors is an American artist and activist. Cullors is an advocate for prison abolition in Los Angeles and a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement. She also identifies as a queer activist. That’s what the mainstream media and the Wikipedia page will tell you. But it won’t tell you that she is a trained Marxist. She confirmed back in 2015 that they’re proudly Marxists. Video below: https://twitter.com/davereaboi/status/1274336621702373377?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1274336621702373377%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstatenation.com%2Fblm-co-founder-who-confirmed-that-theyre-trained-marxists-admits-that-she-attends-occultist-practices-video%2F It doesn’t end there because her anti-Christ stance isn’t coming just from her Marxist agenda, she...

Note: This is a poll by Scott Rasmussen, separate from and not aligned with Rasmussen Reports. The poll uses a highly optimistic turnout model assuming a 36-37 R-D split, which is the most favorable Republican model of any pollsters, assuming near parity with Dems. The key findings: Out of 941 likely voters polled, 48% said they would vote for Biden, while 43% would choose Trump. The president has lost one percentage point since a similar poll roughly two weeks ago, while Biden's share of the likely vote has remained the same. "GOP voters seem more engaged and more likely to...
