President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad. The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib -- should "go back" to the countries they came from. All four are US citizens, and three were born in the United States (Omar is a refugee from Somalia who spent part of her life in a Kenyan refugee camp). But the women haven't backed down. Nor have they responded with platitudes or undeserved tact. Instead, they've...

We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE!" the President said during a Twitter thread. "It is your choice, and your choice alone. This is about love for America. Certain people HATE our Country." "They are anti-Israel, pro Al-Qaeda, and comment on the 9/11 attack, “some people did something.” Radical Left Democrats want Open Borders, which means drugs, crime, human trafficking, and much more," he continued.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says President Donald Trump is not a racist. But he also says four Democratic congresswomen of color whom Trump said should return to their native countries should not have to leave the U.S. The California Republican told reporters on Monday: “This is their country.” Three of the four congresswomen were born in the U.S., and all are Americans.

The Trump campaign has unveiled its 2020 campaign strategy of airing unedited footage of speeches and press conferences by far-left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and that other one. GOP commercials will air the footage around the clock. The speeches will not be edited in any way. Rather than pushing their own policy proposals, Republicans will just remind the nation of just who it is they're running against. "We were pretty concerned when Trump was tweeting those racially charged things the other day," said one campaign strategist. "But now we're in the clear again. I mean, he'll...

Meet Bronx resident John Cummings, a Republican and former Harbor Unit cop-turned-high school civics teacher who is mounting a long-shot bid to topple Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez next year.“But to just come from the outside and take somebody on is really difficult,” Cummings told The Post in an exclusive interview.The one-time bartender Ocasio-Cortez inspired him to run — for her 14th congressional district seat.“It was pointed out to me by my students that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pretty much made my excuse– and I’ll use their quotes– ‘a lame one,’” he said.So the 59-year-old Saint Raymond High School instructor plans to file paperwork with...

Attorney to President Donald Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on July 16 that the president confronted the “progressive” members of the Democratic party because Democrats are afraid to stand up to them. “Since the Dems are afraid to stand up to AOC, Omar, Tlaib et al, hateful and ignorant criticism of our law enforcement and federal agents, and their support of economic destruction of our ally Israel. [Trump] has to do it for them. After all he is supposed to defend America,” Giuliani said in a Twitter post on July 16.

Freshman Communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Monday refused to condemn the terrorist attack carried out by a violent member of Antifa over the weekend. An armed Antifa terrorist was shot dead Saturday morning after trying to attack an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in Tacoma, Washington. The man killed in Saturday’s terror attack on an ICE detention facility in Tacoma was identified as Willem Van Spronsen, a man with a record of attacking police during a protest at the facility a year ago. Antifa activists claimed the attacker as one of their own. Willem Von Spronsen was armed...

RUSH: Okay. It’s time to give you the audio sound bites here. We’re gonna start with some of the sound from the press conference from the four yesterday, The Squad. We’re talking about freshman representative Ilhan Omar, who married her brother illegally to arrive in the United States. But we’re not supposed to mention that because, see, she’s a minority and a woman and they have it so tough anyway. If she had to marry her brother to get in here, it just shows how rotten the country is! See? This is how this works. You can’t criticize that. Plus...

Top Democrats are circulating a poll showing that one of the House's most progressive members — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (a member of The Squad)— has become a definitional face for the party with a crucial group of swing voters. Why it matters: These Democrats are sounding the alarm that swing voters know and dislike socialism, warning it could cost them the House and the presidency. The poll is making the rounds of some of the most influential Democrats in America. "If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk," said a top Democrat who...

When a dozen of conservatism’s best minds take on Socialism and expose it for the utopian fraud it is, attention must be paid. In a brief foreword to a special issue of National Review, Editor-in-Chief Richard Lowry admitted that many conservatives thought socialism in America had been “vanquished” after the collapse of Soviet Communism 30 years ago. But as T. S. Eliot insisted, “There is no such thing as a Lost Cause because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause.” The experts examine socialism in its many guises, beginning with Charles Cooke’s blunt assessment that socialism is not...

When we racist, sexist homophobes use the word "catfight," we are merely observing — as you are not allowed to observe — that women fight each other differently from how men fight. It seems to us deplorables that women fight by calling each other names.  And so, in the catfight last week between Our Nance and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it ended with Sandy O calling Our Nance a racist. Of course it did, because that is what Ocasio-Cortez has been carefully taught.  When you are caught in a jam, you play the race card.  What year did Ocasio-Cortez take Playing the Race Card...

During the recent spat between President Trump and "The Squad" — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts — Trump asked when the four women would atone for their anti-American and anti-Semitic behavior.  Early Monday morning, Trump tweeted: When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said.  So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions! For Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,...

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other liberal first-term Democratic congresswomen who’ve tangled with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for “pushing the edges.” But in an interview with MSNBC, the front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination also argued that the four lawmakers don’t represent “the majority of Democrats” who won back the House of Representatives last year. Biden complimented Pelosi for “doing a masterful job” in dealing with the four lawmakers, who in recent weeks battled with the House speaker and other Democrats over their support for a bipartisan $4.6 billion...

President Donald Trump on Friday renewed attacks on freshman Democratic lawmakers Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezand Ilhan Omar and came to the defense of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump lashed out at Ocasio-Cortez for her recent remarks responding to Pelosi's criticism of the "Squad" -- the group of four freshman including Ocasio-Cortex and Omar. She had said Pelosi was “singling out” Democratic women of color for criticism, calling it "disrespectful."

President Trump's attack on left-wing congresswomen, including a jab that they should "go back" to their homelands, created a furor. But former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says it may be an example of Trump's strategic genius. "It is useful to remember Trump doesn't play tic-tac-toe. He plays chess, and he's very often setting up a much deeper fight than you might think, looking at the surface," Gingrich told the Washington Examiner. Trump's tweet was widely criticized as inaccurate and offensive, with three of four apparent targets actually born in the U.S. But Gingrich said Trump wanted to raise the profile...

Why could the Pigrims, Puritans, Founding Fathers, and a host of others carve out a nation and lay the foundation for the greatest nation ever known to humanity? If migrants, machismo or no machismo, can accomplish just about anything they set their minds to, why can't they seem to harness the abundance of natural resources, minerals, etc, found all over Africa and throughout Central and South America, and create thriving societies? Why could the Founding Fathers throw off the then most powerful military in the world but migrants cannot seem to throw off the corrupt governments they are said to...

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham defended President Donald Trump’s tweets towards progressive members of Congress during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. The president came under fire for telling members of Congress, including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, to go back” and fix the countries “they originally came from,” after a series of perceived anti-American comments by the members.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said at a press conference on Monday at the Capitol that the “squad” of herself and three other far-left House freshman including Reps. Omar Ilhan (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are just a part of a much bigger group of Americans. The four earned the nickname for ongoing opposition to the Democrat establishment in Congress, including to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). “I would also just like to underscore the fact that despite the occupant of the White House’s attempts to marginalize us and to silence us ,please know that we are more...

Full title: 'It is time for us to impeach this president': Omar, AOC and radical 'squad' fire back after Trump tells them to leave America if they don't like it – but he's thrilled the Democratic Party is 'embracing them' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her 'squad' fired back at Donald Trump on Monday, calling on House Democratic leadership to being impeachment proceedings against the president. 'We can either continue to enable this president and report on the bile of garbage that comes out of his mouth. Or we can hold him accountable for his crimes. It is time for us to...

No-brainer. “This morning, the President doubled down on his attacks on our four colleagues suggesting they apologize to him,” Pelosi wrote to House Democrats. “Let me be clear, our caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks.”Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and freshman Rep. Tom Malinowksi (D-N.J.), who was born in Poland, will draft the resolution, according to Pelosi. It’s unclear when the House will vote on the measure and the speaker did not specify in her letter…“The House cannot allow the president’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in...
