Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued her war of words with Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday night, calling the Speaker of the House “outright disrespectful” for criticizing women of color. The Bronx Democrat was reacting to Pelosi’s repeated attempts at reigning in some of the more left-wing members of her caucus and chastising the freshman reps for tweeting too much. “When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” Ocasio-Cortez told the Washington Post. “But the persistent singling out —...

A pair of right-wing provocateurs are being accused of attempting to recruit young Republican men to level false allegations of sexual assault against Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. The details of the operatives’ attempt emerged as one man suddenly surfaced with a vague and uncorroborated allegation that Buttigieg had assaulted him. The claim was retracted hours later on a Facebook page appearing to belong to the man. A Republican source told The Daily Beast that lobbyist Jack Burkman and internet troll Jacob Wohl approached him last week to try to convince him to falsely accuse Buttigieg, the mayor of South...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.</p> <p>In a “60 Minutes” interview, correspondent Lesley Stahl pointed out the different groups within the House Democratic caucus. “You have these wings — AOC and her group on one side,” Stahl said.</p>

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was on “60 Minutes” on Sunday and she took a shot at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s support in Congress: Lesley Stahl: “You have these wings– AOC, and her group on one side” Pelosi: “That’s like five people” (snip) Reily Connaughton @ReilySeanConn “I do reject socialism as an economic system. If people have that view, that’s their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party.” -@SpeakerPelosi on @60Minutes 8:06 PM - Apr 14, 2019 Waleed Shahid, a former AOC staffer, was not happy with the remarks: Waleed Shahid ✔@_waleedshahid That's quite a way to...

Yesterday’s House vote on a nonbinding resolution to support ICE was an unmitigated disaster for the Democrat Party. Just 18 voted to support ICE an insignificant handful voted NO and 130 completely disgraced themselves by voting “present.” This resolution was a rare show of backbone by a usually supine Republican House leadership that has pushed the Democrats over a cliff in many districts. Remember the recent Harvard Harris poll finding that found support for ICE at a 69/31 level. Many registered Democrats support ICE. Speaker Paul Ryan set up a perfect “Heads Republicans win; tails Democrats lose” trap that the...

This week New York State saw two more primary victories for The Crazy Democrats over The Insane Democrats in the Democrat civil war. While both victories were important steps forward for the end of the Democrats’ dreams of controlling and destroying America, the defeat of the 4th ranking House Democrat Joe Crowley of Queens New York City is a devastating blow. Crowley lost to a Latina socialist Crazy whose name isn’t important. This is a huge kick in the teeth for Nancy Pelosi who backed Crowley and wanted him to succeed her as Speaker when she was ready to give...

While California Democrats were breathing a sigh of relief at not having their latest scheme to defraud Republican voters completely blow up in their face, they nonetheless blinked in their war with the far left socialists. In the Democrat civil war the sides are The Insanes and The Crazies. The Crazies want to burn the entire country down and think because they believe everyone hates Donald Trump as much as they do the rest of us will help them. They think the nation will rally around hatred for Trump and elect them to repeal the Second Amendment, repeal Trump’s tax...

This was another positive week for The Crazy Democrats in their civil war with The Democrat Insanes. The Insanes, who want to run campaigns with lies as Democrats always do, think they can win by appealing to the worst instincts people have by with code words and innuendos. They are big “dog whistle” people. The Crazies want their candidates to scream out loud saying they will repeal the Second Amendment; repeal Trump’s tax cuts; impeach Trump; demand reparations and grant general amnesty. Worse still for The Insanes is what drives Their enemies. The Crazies (who are winning this civil war)...

Dick Morris talks about the recent criticism from Hillary on the surging U.S. Debt

Finally, the Barack Obama campaign has found a big gun to help shoot down Hillary Rodham Clinton's self-proclaimed foreign policy experience. And he may be the wackiest gun of all: Sinbad, the actor, who has come out from under a rock to defend Obama in the war over foreign policy credentials. Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she's taking much...

Democratic leaders fear that Rep. William J. Jefferson's indictment yesterday on racketeering and bribery charges, coming exactly one year after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi engineered his ouster from the powerful Ways and Means Committee, could rekindle a smoldering dispute between the speaker and black lawmakers who were once pillars of her power. For months, the Louisiana Democrat's mounting legal peril has bedeviled Democrats as they sought first to point to corruption as a tool to oust Republicans from control of Congress, then pressed for ethics and lobbying changes that they said would usher in a new era of clean politics...
