Liberal actress Jane Fonda appeared at multiple high-profile events this week to promote her climate activism. The 86-year-old Fonda, who has been arrested while participating in past climate protests, tried to rev up famous faces at a Beverly Hills fundraiser against big oil in California, and later in the week, educate college students at USC Annenberg that the climate crisis is a "manifestation of racism, misogyny and patriarchy." She also apologized to young people, saying, "I’m sorry that we’ve created this issue for you." Fonda’s first event was a star-studded fundraiser she hosted to raise money to keep California from...

And I’m just curious, do you agree with people close to Biden, people who’ve been friends with Biden for a long time, that maybe he’s been protected a little too much? Let the guy get out...

LEESBURG, Va. — House Democratic leaders are vowing to make abortion their top issue on the campaign trail this year, betting that Republican efforts to roll back women’s reproductive rights will drive voters to the polls to the distinct advantage of President Biden and his allies in Congress. Gathered in Northern Virginia for their annual strategy retreat, the Democrats are hearing from experts — and honing their message — on a host of issues, from climate change and infrastructure to labor unions and the economy. But rising above them all, party leaders said, will be the fight to protect abortion...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed said Monday “Bloomberg Technology” that her city has constantly been cleaning streets and helping the homeless get shelter while discussing preparing for the APEC Summit of President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping. Host Ed Ludlow said, “Why has it taken the visit of U.S. President Biden, China’s President Xi, leaders around the world for action on all of the problems the city has been talking about for 4 years now?” Breed said, “Just to be clear, we have been working on this for a few years.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday boasted she could fix key national issues including the migrant crisis “in about five minutes’’ — while touting her latest answer to New York’s asylum-seeker disaster: a new app. Hochul’s “Ms. Fix-It” claim, and the unveiling of an app designed to connect some migrants to legal jobs, surfaced as she appeared to back-pedal on her comments only a day earlier involving US immigration woes. The Democratic gov had finally ramped up her rhetoric over the Biden administration’s immigration crisis Sunday by saying the country’s borders are “too open” and that Congress needed to “put more...

In his wide-ranging exclusive interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom invoked one of his more famous predecessors in Sacramento, saying he "aspires" to be like Republican Ronald Reagan in one particular way. During a debate on California's high-tax, regulation-heavy economic environment, Newsom said Reagan – who was governor from 1967 to 1975 – oversaw very high state tax rates, while later criticizing the 41st president's embrace of "trickle-down economics." Hannity asked if Newsom was blaming Reagan in-part for California's high taxation, and the governor disagreed. "No, I'm not blaming Reagan for everything. A lot of...

Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decided that for the first trimester of a pregnancy, “the attending physician, in consultation with his patient, is free to determine, without regulation by the State, that, in his medical judgment, the patient's pregnancy should be terminated. If that decision is reached, the judgment may be effectuated by an abortion free of interference by the State.” It went on: “With respect to the State's important and legitimate interest in potential life, the ‘compelling’ point is at viability. This is so because the...

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that abortion was an economic issue. Co-host Martha Raddatz said, “The economy far and away the top issue. Our ABC News/Washington Post poll, 43% of Americans say they’re now worse off financially in the last two years, that is pretty astounding. Why has that not been the number one issue on the campaign?” Brazile said, “Well, you know, Martha, so you have to take a look at the entire country, because I do believe that whether you’re talking about abortion, which is an economic issue, and why? Because when you...

I have received a few requests from pro-lifers like Vicki:Can you provide some clarity to the Pepsi/cells from aborted babies controversy. I cannot sort out whether this is valid or not. Yes and NoBottom line: There are no aborted embryonic or fetal cells in any of PepsiCo’s final products.But: Aborted cells are used in the development of artificial flavor enhancers by biotech company Senomyx, with which PepsiCo signed a four-year, $30 million agreement in 2010 for research and development.

There was a ton of bad news for Hillary Clinton in two new polls that put the former Secretary of State’s favorability deeper into negative territory amid harsh voter assessments of her personality – particularly her trustworthiness. When asked by CNN/ORC if Clinton was honest and trustworthy, only 42 percent of respondents said yes while 57 percent said no. That was down from 50/49 percent in March and 56/43 percent in March 2014. Clinton’s favorability ratings are also the lowest in a Washington Post-ABC News poll since April 2008 when she first sought the Democratic presidential nomination. Today, just 41...

There are many reasons to celebrate the Republican party surge in the US mid-term elections but for me they boil down to two words: "Tom" and "Steyer." If you had to pick one person who embodied everything that is most irritating and wrong about the Obama administration - the Solyndra-style crony capitalism, the war on free markets, small business and cheap energy, the hypocrisy, the injustice, the dogged pursuit of suicidal leftist causes - then liberal billionaire Tom Steyer is your man. And this is what is so good about the US mid-term results. Not only did they personally cost...

PANAMA CITY — For U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, the federal government shutdown is a fight to hold every American to the same standard under the country’s new health care law. Along with the House Republican majority, Southerland, R-Panama City, has backed resolutions to eliminate Affordable Care Act subsidies for members of Congress and delay the individual mandate for a year to avert a government shutdown. Democrats have said they will not negotiate until the government is reopened and the debt limit raised. Southerland said the Democratic-controlled Senate’s rejection of the proposal and refusal to negotiate is setting a dangerous precedent...
