The Biden campaign is slamming Elizabeth Warren's socialist, government takeover of healthcare Friday morning and accusing her of lying about who is going to pay for it. "For months, Elizabeth Warren has refused to say if her health care plan would raise taxes on the middle class, and now we know why: because it does. Sen. Warren would place a new tax of nearly $9 trillion that will fall on American workers," the Biden campaign released in a statement. Unlike Bernie Sanders, who admits the taxes of every American will increase with a government takeover of healthcare, Warren refuses to...

Things seemed relatively placid when a pro-life group — TFP Student Action — set up a small demonstration with brochures and bagpipes at George Washington University in the nation's capital late last month. But the peace would not last. One flustered woman kicked things off, arguing at one point with a pro-lifer that "it's still a baby inside, but I have every single right to f****** decide what I do with my own f****** body!" Several others demanded that TFP Student Action immediately leave, actually saying they had no right be on campus. Mob rules TFP Student Action said pro-abortion...

Remarkably, Taylor Swift’s poke at the president on the MTV Video Music Awards show for his lack of support for LGBTQ rights legislation hasn’t yet resulted in a Trump twitterstorm. But Kellyanne Conway went on Fox News Tuesday night to defend the administration’s position against the Equality Act … and to give Swift a sick burn in return by attempting to render one of her songs toxic. “I actually like the new Taylor Swift song,” Conway told Fox’s Martha MacCallum. “It’s called ‘You Need to Calm Down.’ I can sing it for you.” Rather than do what any reasonable host...

Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan provoked the criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar on Thursday after news surfaced that she distanced herself from the freshman Democrat from Minnesota in an interview. "Ilhan Omar does not represent me as a Muslim -- does not represent millions of Muslims in the Middle East," Idan told "The Sara Carter Show." Those comments prompted Omar to stress that she wasn't the beauty queen's representative since she didn't live in her congressional district. "Hey, I might be wrong but I don’t think you are a #MN05 resident and like that makes be not your representative," Omar...

The jokes about laying a supply of popcorn are everywhere on the right, as the most powerful elected Democrat and the most-publicized purported symbol of the party’s future tear into each other. It’s been brewing a long time, starting with an Ocasio-Cortez-led sit-in outside Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol office a week after the bartender from the Bronx was elected to Congress, two months before she assumed office. Elle Magazine recaps the development of the squabble ever since that bad start. Along with fellow female freshmen Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Presley, and Ilhan Omar – a group that Pelosi has dubbed “the...

Full title: Pelosi responds to AOC slam, says caucus has her back for condemning chief of staff’s ‘offensive’ tweetHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood her ground Thursday in response to New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claiming the speaker has been disrespectful to several minority lawmakers, saying she has the backing of her caucus and defending her handling of the rabble-rousing freshman 'squad' that Ocasio-Cortez leads. Notably, Pelosi all but confirmed that a warning she delivered to rank-and-file lawmakers a day earlier about using social media for attacks on fellow Democrats was prompted by Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff. Asked about her...

The House vote to supply migrants soap and shampoo at the border detention centers with a $4.6 billion relief bill is nearly a week old, but Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are still sniping about it. Pelosi and most Democrats voted 'yes' on the no-brainer, given that they advocate for illegal immigrants and supposedly care about them. Ocasio-Cortez, though, and three of her most extreme congressional comrades, voted 'no.' The end justifies the means, see, and in socialism, human beings are mere matter, a means to the socialist objective, and of course, perfectly dispensible. So now the two are fighting...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over Twitter on Saturday night after Pelosi knocked the freshman lawmaker for not voting with moderate Democrats on a spending package passed by Congress last week. Earlier on Saturday, Pelosi took aim at progressive congresswomen Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) after the four voted against a $4.6 billion spending package recently passed by Congress that sought to remedy issues at the southern border. In an interview with the The New York Times, Pelosi said she believed the four lawmakers made themselves...

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Sunday criticized the New York Times for its coverage of former Trump White House communications director Hope Hicks, accusing the paper of framing her decision to comply with a congressional subpoena as a “Lifetime drama.” Hicks was subpoenaed last week to turn over documents and testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump and his associates obstructed justice and engaged in public corruption. In the article, titled “Hope Hicks Left the White House. Now She Must Decide Whether to Talk to Congress,” reporter Maggie...

for mocking her being on Time's most influential list Michelle Obama’s inclusion on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people was met with some grumbling from conservatives, but it paled in comparison to the hit job Fox News host Laura Ingraham had in store for fellow honoree Chrissy Teigen. During Wednesday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, the conservative TV personality took aim at Teigen, whom she described as being “known for her vicious attacks on President Trump.” She also mocked the cookbook author’s qualifications for being on the Time 100 list, dead-panning that liking to eat was “innovative.” Ingraham...

A new rumor has landed online that echoes my own concerns about the Captain Marvel movie and Brie Larson, but this is claimed to be coming from on top -- as high as Disney CEO Bob Iger. The rumor claims that the Avengers cast, or certain members of the Avengers cast, is unhappy with Brie Larson being the face of the MCU going forward. It's said one particular actress - hinted at it being Elizabeth Olsen - feels that they are getting pushed aside, that they are getting treated differently.

Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan is acting like a very badly disguised editorial writer again. On the front of Friday's Style section, she attacked Trump's fashions in Texas under the headline "Fashion crisis at the border." The headline after the article jumped inside to page C2 was "Trump's choice of attire was a disaster." Liberals love pretending that Obama's only scandal was he once wore a tan suit. But criticizing how this president dresses is easy, low-hanging fruit. It's a yawn. So Givhan has to dress up the fashion chatter with screeds about Trump's fact-mangling and fear-mongering.

Melania Trump wears jacket with 'I really don't care, do u?' on it to visit border facilities On Thursday, Melania Trump made a surprise visit to the Texas border near Mexico. The first lady, whose stylish outfits tend to draw more attention than her actions, seemingly made a conscious decision to wear a subtle outfit for the trip. For a tour of Upbring New Hope, a housing facility for children aged 12 to 17, as well as other meetings throughout McAllen, she wore white jeans, a khaki shirt, and white Stan Smith sneakers. However, her casual look still managed to...

**Extreme language warning** As historians in the future look back at 2018 and try to separate the fact from fiction, they may be challenged to just divide the odd from the truly bizarre. Friday’s Twitter drama unfolded between two outspoken women, one currently on offense against President Trump and the other on the defensive for supporting him.

Whoopi Goldberg said there was a "brutal backlash" and calls for an end to the dinner. Joy Behar said "We were laughing our heads off here." Goldberg said "I chuckled a lot." Whoopi played "funny" jokes like "You guys got stop putting Kellyanne on your shows! All she does is lie! It's like that old saying, 'If a tree falls in the woods, how do we get Kellyanne under that tree?' I'm not suggesting she gets hurt. Just stuck." Michelle Wolf...
