GovTrack, an organization that tracks voting records in Congress, yanked its 2019 rating that pegged then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as the most liberal member of the upper chamber – after several media outlets including The Post cited the statistic in stories on the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.The website pulled down its 2019 ranking on Monday evening after it got renewed attention in the wake of President Biden’s seismic decision to drop out of the 2024 race on Sunday, its founder confirmed to The Post. GovTrack had previously determined in its single-year “report card” for 2019 that she was the most...

Washington -- Unleashing a volley of attacks against his new campaign opponent Vice President Kamala Harris, former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said she is “unfit to rule” and described her as a “radical left lunatic” whom voters will reject in November. Trump, 78, launched a scathing attack on Harris as he took the stage for the first time to address an election rally on Wednesday after Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. Over the weekend, President Joe Biden, 81, announced that he was dropping out of the race and named Harris as his...

Vice President Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in 2019 — further left than even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — according to a GovTrack scorecard. Harris, whom President Joe Biden opted to back after announcing that he will not seek reelection after all, was viewed as the most liberal senator prior to her becoming vice president. According to the GovTrack.us, the ideology analysis assigns a score to lawmakers according to their “legislative behavior by whether they sponsor and cosponsor overlapping sets of bills and resolutions with other Members of Congress.” “The score can be interpreted as a left—right...

I spoke with my wife's aunt today who is visiting us in Texas from Washington State. For the record, she is a kind, understanding and great aunt to my family but when the topic flipped to the Biden resignation, a few things came out about the Left Wing mind. The immediate things that were said were: Trump cut taxes for the rich Citizens United case was the first time crony capitalism came into existence She wants Kamala because she really, really wants a female President. She likes Kamala OK, no qualms about her ability Trump had a sharp shooter to...

The American media has weighed in on Joe Biden's disastrous presidential debate and joined the growing calls for him to step down. Biden is set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign this weekend amid the fallout of of Thursday's trainwreck debate performance. But if the liberal media has finally caved on the 81-year-old president, his options may be limited. Polls indicate that even fewer voters believe Biden is prepared for another four years in The White House after they witnessed his mental and physical fitness appeared to have deteriorated. Liberal Media giants have added fuel to fire by...

Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how "normal" a group of "closeted" Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to "haunt" her. "All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures," Kosinski wrote....... "The others-- when they realized that a few in their presence came armed with (gasp) actual facts (NO!)-- quickly changed the subject and nervously said they don't want to...

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Pskai has no issue with President Joe Biden's seeming disinterest in doing press conferences, saying he should entertain the ladies of The View instead. Biden has given just 89 total interviews and three press conferences in his first three years in office, a noted dip from former President Donald Trump's first three years, where he gave 300 interviews and 54 press conferences. The current president has chosen alternative media of late, appearing on The Howard Stern Show and the popular Smartless podcast. Psaki was appearing herself on the daily ABC gabfest and asked about...

A newly transplanted liberal in Florida described being triggered by patriotism as she tried to make new friends. The young woman in the video with thousands of views described the difficulty she has had in making new friends since moving to St. Petersburg, a city on Florida’s Gulf Coast. While she admits she loves the weather and St. Pete is “beautiful,” the woman soon shares her dilemma. “However, it has been hard to make friends which is natural as an adult,” she said. “It’s really difficult. I work from home, I live alone.” She explained how she downloaded the Meetup...

Last month, conservative news host Jesse Kelly told Megyn Kelly on her podcast that “the mentally ill single woman is the beating heart of the Democrat Party.” He proclaimed over 70 percent of single women vote Democrat. Furthermore, he declared that “studies” show approximately 60 percent of those women had been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness. Kelly (the man) joked that everyone knows a woman with “her eyes half bugged out of her skull. … She ruins Thanksgiving every time bragging about her 15th abortion!” While Kelly’s exaggerations made me laugh, I simultaneously thought to myself, Oh crap....

A plan to integrate two nearby Washington, D.C., schools with vastly different racial backgrounds is sparking fierce debate among parents in the predominantly liberal community. Nearly 6 in 10 of the 500 children at Maury Elementary School are White. At Miner Elementary School, 80% of the kids are Black, many of whom are in foster care, receive public assistance or are homeless. Enrollment at the school has been declining, according to The Washington Post. District officials have put together a plan where children would spend their early education at one school and later transfer to the other. Their goal is...

Joe Biden is incapable of assuring voters he can handle another presidential term, his team has 'no plan' on how to deal with his senile behavior, and he should simply 'not be running for re-election,' according to New York Times authors. Anxieties from the liberal Times' Editorial Board and opinion writers show how worried they are that ailing Biden may not be able to beat 'bad man' Donald Trump this year. The back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president, 81, over the weekend comes after a Justice Department report ripped into his handling of classified documents and portrayed him as...

The past several years, I have heard and/or read of how bad a businessman President Donald Trump is and has been during his life. I went online to look for examples and it seems the stories that he is a bad businessman are from leftist outlets - CNN, NPR, MSNBC, the New Yorker, NYT, and so on. (Side note - does Forbes swing to the left?) So I need assistance from my fellow Freepers and from Freeperland. Is there an unbiased source of information concerning President Trump's wealth, how he obtained it, how he has grown his wealth, etc? Thank...

A Hilton hotel in San Francisco has defaulted on its mortgage, missing its $97 million loan payment - in the latest in the 'doom loop' crisis for the liberal city. The city’s hospitality sector is faltering alongside the rise in rampant crime, debilitating homelessness, and dangerous public drug use - with fewer people wanting to visit San Fran compared to before the pandemic. According to a securities filing, the owner of the Hilton Financial District, a 544-room hotel, said it defaulted on a loan last Wednesday. It was warned that its lenders could potentially seek to foreclose on the property...

Retired California public employees are flocking to Idaho with their pension funds and becoming the financial "lifeblood" of at least one Idaho town, ruffling feathers with some locals who are taking issue with the "liberal baggage" of the new residents. The Los Angeles Times reported this month the town of Eagle, Idaho, has seen an influx of retired cops and firefighters moving to their town with many of them identifying as conservative but who "seem practically socialist to the old guard" with their large pensions. Two California transplants squared off in the most recent mayoral race, and the key issue...

Bomb threats targeting synagogues and symbols of hate along Hawaii’s busiest roadway — the messages appear to be connected to a war 9,000 miles away. HONOLULU (Hawaii 7News Now) -- Bomb threats targeting synagogues and symbols of hate along Hawaii’s busiest roadway — the messages appear to be connected to a war 9,000 miles away. Along the H-1 highway by the Barber’s Point exit, one of the many places that have a swastika along with the star of David graffitied onto signs. Those symbols can be seen for about 10 miles along the H-1 heading into town. “We think of...

Former President George W. Bush intends to vote in the 2024 presidential election, but he might write in the name of his brother, Jeb Bush — or his late Scottish terrier, Barney. Though joking, Bush echoed a concern many Americans cite about two of the prospective candidates: their age. “I predict that most Americans think we’re too damn old at the top,” Bush, 77, said. “I’m too old to be president. I know what it takes to be president, and I’m younger than Biden and Trump.” Bush is about four years younger than current President Joe Biden and about one...
