With President Joe Biden facing a grave political crisis after his debate debacle against Donald Trump, jittery Democrats are openly considering who could take over their campaign if he drops out — and the smart money is firmly on Vice President Kamala Harris. The 81-year-old Biden, so far, has been defiant about staying in the race – a message he drove home at a campaign rally in Wisconsin and in an ABC interview Friday. Biden said only the “Lord Almighty” telling him to do do would prompt him to leave the race.

Dr. Jill is the de facto leader of America now.As it turns out, it’s not that unusual in the annals of history. There are quite a few examples of the wives of political leaders being the real power, while the husband retains the trappings of the office. Unfortunately many of these situations have ended disastrously. These worst case scenarios seem to feature a similar outline: a younger, attractive, second or third wife, with no political background of her own becomes enamored with the power of the supreme leader’s office and uses her husband’s position to attempt to reorder society.

Photos of Saikat Chakrabarti in a T-shirt with the image of an admirer of Adolf Hitler resurfaced days after Ocasio-Cortez quoted Eva Peron, a figure who was linked to the Nazis via her husband. Media outlets are again questioning why Saikat Chakrabarti, who serves as chief of staff to Rep.

Bose was an Indian political figure who admired the Nazis, met with Adolf Hitler and Holocaust-mastermind Heinrich Himmler, and lived in Berlin from 1941 until 1943, during the height of World...

President Donald Trump compared socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to former Argentine first lady Eva Perón — often called "Evita" — in a new book that is set to go on sale in mid-July. Ocasio-Cortez took the comparison as a compliment, despite the fact that Evita was a Nazi sympathizer who helped her husband, Argentine President Juan Perón, destroy Argentina's economy by implementing socialism and eroded civil liberties in the nation. The book, "American Carnage," states that Trump saw Ocasio-Cortez on a cable news show and said: "I called her Eva Perón. I said, 'That's Eva Perón. That's Evita." Trump...

'He was Hitler's favourite Nazi commando, famously rescuing Mussolini from an Italian hilltop fortress, and was known as "the most dangerous man in Europe". After World War Two, he landed in Argentina and became a bodyguard for Eva Perón, with whom he was rumoured to have had an affair. So when Otto Skorzeny arrived in Ireland in 1959, having bought a rural farmhouse in County Kildare, it caused much intrigue.'

Eva Peron was called the Spiritual Leader of the Nation of Argentina. She grew up in a province of Buenos Aires and then in the village of Pampas. Her father left the family, leaving the five children in a severe state of poverty. She then lived in the poorest areas. She then met Juan Peron, who had joined the Argentine Army, when after an earthquake in San Juan in which six thousand people were killed and Peron was raising money to aid the victims, Juan organized an artistic festival and fundraiser and Juan met Eva. She came from humble means....

Chris Matthews shouldn't count on a Christmas card from Hillary after the way he absolutely unloaded on her on Morning Joe today. The topic was her Christmas ad [view YouTube here], which shows her "giving" a variety of government programs to the American people] .
