    Welp, this was predictable. A former Planned Parenthood president who was unexpectedly fired because she wanted the "health care" organization to focus less on abortion and more on health care is now a professor at The George Washington University. Zara Kupus of Young America's Foundation publication, The New Guard, reports that Leana Wen will start her new position this fall. "Honored to join exceptional colleagues @GWpublichealth @GW_Workforce to train future generations of public health leaders who are dedicated to achieving health equity and fighting for social justice," Wen tweeted. According to Zupus, Wen will "serve as a distinguished fellow in...

    The Created Equal organization stages displays on college campuses to persuade people that abortion is wrong. Plain and simple. But something about that message has pushed buttons on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus, where a woman grabbed a sign out of the hands of Created Equal members and walked away with it. To her dismay, however, she walked right into the arms of a police officer and was arrested for larceny. Caught red handed, she told the officer: “I was going to give it back.”

    Marie Harf is stepping down from her post as a political commentator for Fox News Channel and co-host of Fox News Radio’s Benson and Harf—a show co-hosted with Guy Benson—to join Team [Seth] Moulton as deputy campaign manager for policy and communications, The Daily Beast confirmed. Harf’s hire adds more foreign-policy credentials to the 40-year-old veteran’s early presidential campaign. Prior to becoming a talking head, she worked as a senior communications adviser to former Secretary of State John Kerry and at the CIA as a Middle East analyst. She also ran former President Barack Obama’s national-security strategy during the 2012...

    While speaking on Saturday in South Carolina, 2020 presidential candidate former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) accused President Donald Trump of inciting violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN.) by tweeting a video including images of Sept. 11 and comments the congresswoman made about the attack. O’Rourke said, “This is an incitement to violence against Congresswoman Omar, against our fellow Americans who happen to be Muslim.” He added, “This is part and parcel of what we’ve seen from an administration that has described Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals.”

    The House Judiciary Committee will seek documents from more than 60 people and organizations as it begins investigations into possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power by President Donald Trump, the panel's chairman said on Sunday. Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told ABC's "This Week" the panel wanted to get documents from the Department of Justice, the president's son Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, among others. "We are going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into corruption ... and into obstruction of justice," Nadler said. "It's our job to protect the rule of...
  • AOC Says Bartending Experience Helped Prepare Her For Cohen Questioning(srsly?)

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said her experience in the service industry helped her question Michael Cohen because it allowed her to hone her “razor-sharp BS detector.” “Thanks! Bartending + waitressing (especially in NYC) means you talk to 1000s of people over the years. Forces you to get great at reading people + hones a razor-sharp BS detector,” she tweeted, responding to a compliment that questioned whether she really was a former bartender and not a former prosecutor. “Just goes to show that what some consider to be “unskilled labor” can actually be anything but.”

    And how do some Democrats respond to all of this? Well, you saw it during the State of the Union this month. They just sat there, gurning at the camera. For Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), she summed up the excellent economic news for the country and minorities with these three words: “blah, blah, blah.”

    I am guilty of speaking badly of the new congresswoman from New York. She is obviously the product of failing educational systems unable to do anything but pump her full of fatuous self-esteem. I’d lay odds she has a large box of participation trophies in her parents’ basement. Though it is fun to bash such a bashable subject, I write to thank her. She has made things clear; things that have been vague and foggy are now utterly transparent. Many let slide Obama’s fuzzy promise to “fundamentally change” America. It was a little hazy -- he never elaborated on it...

    In a 60 Minutes interview that touched on a number of subjects, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said there’s “no question” President Trump is racist. The comment came after correspondent Anderson Cooper asked Ocasio-Cortez, “Do you believe President Trump is a racist?” “Yeah. Yeah. No question,” Ocasio-Cortez replied. The rookie congresswoman cited the president’s rhetoric as proof.

    Many questioned anti-Second Amendment activist David Hogg’s acceptance to Harvard, which he announced via Twitter on Saturday, considering that he openly complained about his high school grades and the fact that he achieved only a 1270 on his SAT test. “David Hogg is heading to Harvard despite an SAT score of 1270. The bottom 25% at Harvard have an average SAT score of 1460,” College Fix noted. But still, the left wing media swooned after Hogg announced that he was headed to the Ivy League school in Cambridge, Mass. “Thank you all for the well wishes, I’ll be attending Harvard...

    It has been said before that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it, and, unfortunately, there is an abundance of ignorance these days regarding the history of this nation and the world that doesn’t bode well for our ability to avoid the mistakes of the past. Pure historical ignorance was on display recently by a well known rap artist named Talib Kweli, who in a tweet to his roughly 1 million social media followers suggested that President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall was doomed to fail just like the Berlin Wall — which the rapper seems...

    An insurgent movement is pushing Democrats to back an ambitious climate change solution. If the recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is to be believed, humanity has just over a decade to get carbon emissions under control before catastrophic climate change impacts become unavoidable. The Republican Party generally ignores or denies that problem. But the Democratic Party claims to accept and understand it. It is odd, then, that Democrats do not have a plan to address climate change.

    Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka after he blasted her for making a comparison between the migrant caravan and Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. “You were forced out of the Trump Admin for saying white supremacists were 'not the problem' days before Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville killed 3 people,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at Gorka. “Pretty sure we’re on the right side of history if you’re my opposition.” “This is not about atrocity. It’s about how we get there,” she added.

    But what do college students think? Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips traveled to Lockhaven University in Pennsylvania to find out. When asked whether the U.S. should open the border to the caravan, most students shared the same sentiment: yes. “I think we should let them in, give them a fair chance at a better life,” one student said, while another echoed her point, saying, “it’s dumb that we stole this land […] and now we’re gonna point at someone else and tell them they can’t come in here.” One student explained his reasoning by saying, “I’m open to the idea of...

    David Hogg was thrown into the national spotlight after the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day. Ever since then, Hogg has become one of the faces of the "March for Our Lives" movement, the gun control group that is predominantly made up of Stoneman Douglas survivors. Since Hogg has become a household name, he assumes that he knows anything and everything about guns. Hint: He doesn't. Earlier this week he tweeted out one of the dumbest things he's ever said (and there have been a lot!). According to Hogg, an AR-15 is an "assault weapon"...

    Chelsea Clinton and Facebook have teamed up to censor any discussion of counseling or therapy options for people who want to overcome their same-sex attractions. The issue has been in the news of late with what critics call California’s “must stay gay” bill, which would censor public discussions and publications promoting such counseling. The Facebook controversy arose because the social-media platform allowed ads for counseling to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction. Following user complaints, Clinton stormed into the discussion on Twitter: “Child abuse. ‘Conversion therapy’ is child abuse. There are not two sides to this question and these ads – and...

    She’s the daughter of both a former U.S. president and a twice-failed presidential candidate, and now Chelsea Clinton is sounding like a political candidate herself, saying she abhors the actions of President Trump. Speaking Sunday at a book festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, Clinton said when it comes to running for office, it’s a “definite no now” but a “definite maybe” in the future, the Guardian reports. “At federal level, as much as I abhor so much of what President Trump is doing, I have a great amount of gratitude for what my congresswoman and my senators are doing to try...

    Now, in the face of the latest manufactured meltdown of the mainstream media, a number of celebrities, as well as a couple of noteworthy politicians, are pretending that they too can “suffer” for a cause by enduring one of the most ridiculous and shallow “protests” of all time: The 24 hour “hunger” strike. Alec Baldwin has announced he’s going to take part in a “24-hour hunger strike,” also known as a diet or intermittent fast, as some sort of “protest” against President Trump. From People, “Ethel Kennedy, 90, Joins Alec Baldwin and More Stars in Hunger Strike Against Trump Immigration...

    A group called Students for Fair Admissions sued Harvard contending that the school’s admissions process significantly and unfairly limits the percentage of Asians who are accepted each year. Today the NY Times reports that an analysis of Harvard admissions records filed in support of the group’s lawsuit shows the school is consistently downgrading Asian applicants on subjective personal qualities in a way that reduces their overall admissions rate:
