MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Friday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was a “low down” conman playing “boogeyman politics.” Sharpton said, “He was the same guy that stood on television as president of the United States, and said it will be over in two weeks. Don’t worry about it. And then finally he told us to take bleach. So now we’re going – I think that the collective amnesia, that a lot of Americans are having, is the challenge that the Democrats have to put out there, say this is the guy that you voted out. Remember, now,...

MSNBC commentator Donny Deutsch said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the election in November will be about “abortion and democracy,” which will cause female voters to pick President Joe Biden.

-Mining workers and villagers near the Bikita Minerals lithium mine in Zimbabwe accuse the government and Chinese mining company Sinomine Resource Group of sidelining environmental and social standards in the scramble for lithium. -After a series of displacements, spills, labor abuses, a death, and little action by authorities, locals and experts accuse the government of failing to enforce its own laws and letting bad mining practices run loose. -According to industry experts, in theory, Chinese investments come with an increasingly robust set of ESG standards, but in practice these aren’t followed if host countries “shy away” from making such demands...

Many are hailing today’s establishment and household job reports, which show 300,000, or as many as 500,000, jobs being added in March. But Steve Moore points out in his Committee to Unleash Prosperity email that the picture is far from rosy: The new job numbers for March were strong with 300,000 jobs added in the establishment survey and 500,000 in the household survey. But those positive headline numbers camouflage a very disturbing trend in the labor market. Almost all of the new jobs on net are part-timers. That means a part-time paycheck. Stock market advisor Stephanie Pomboy of MacroMavens has...

Trump 2020 election lawyer John Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’ The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their...

eftists are so frightened that Donald Trump will win the 2024 election that they’ve called on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire before disaster strikes. The reason: They remember what happened when the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn’t retire before Trump was elected in 2016. She died on September 18, 2020, and the seat went to Amy Coney Barrett, who voted to overturn 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision that conferred the “right” to murder the unborn. Thus, if Sotomayor, 69, dies or retires during Trump’s next term, the Court’s conservative majority could go from 6-3 to 7-2.
