Democrats eye action on threat of white nationalism BY MIKE LILLIS - 08/28/19 06:00 AM EDT Democrats on Capitol Hill are pressing hard to adopt tougher gun laws following a pair of mass shootings this month that horrified the country and rekindled the on-again, off-again push to install higher barriers to owning firearms. But as Congress prepares to return to Washington next month from the long summer recess, Democrats also want to go a step further to tackle another scourge they consider to be related: the threat of violent white nationalism that, according to federal law enforcers, is on the...

Monday presented a question. Did that new Monmouth poll with a suspiciously small sample capture the start of an avalanche in Grandpa Joe’s support, with Biden dropping 13 points(!) in two months, or was it an outlier?Wednesday brings the answer. Outlier, per new surveys from Morning Consult, Suffolk, and Quinnipiac, each of which finds him winning about a third of Dem primary voters and maintaining a healthy lead over Warren and Sanders.In fact, it’s such an outlier that Monmouth itself issued a press release today saying yep, it’s an outlier.I make this solemn pledge to you, though: I will...

"We have a growing pest problem,” said director of newsroom operations Jillian S. Jarrett in an office memo. "We’ve gotten several reports of cockroaches in the newsroom."

When it comes to reaching a trade deal with China, President Trump<Donald John TrumpSenate Democrats warn Trump: Don't invite Putin to G-7 Trump blames Fed for manufacturing slowdown Pence responds to Haley tweet: I'm looking forward to running with Trump in 2020 MORE may be his own worst enemy. Instead of accepting that he already has achieved the bulk of U.S. negotiating objectives — and effectively won the trade war — the president has been sidetracked by procedural issues and negotiating gambits that distract from the overall success of the administration’s policy. Just last Friday, the president created a...

In a free enterprise system, some businesses prosper while some do not. Success and failure are simply a byproduct of the free market that should be expected. And when businesses fail due to market conditions, it should not be the responsibility of the federal government to bail them out or give them special treatment. So why then is conjecture building once again that key members of the Trump administration still want to revive plans to bail out failing power plants? Last year, the Department of Energy was trying to use its power to revitalize a handful of well-connected but economically...

U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood has handed a victory to the state of Georgia and nine other states that sued the federal government (and to the rest of the nation) by declaring that the WOTUS Rule is unlawful. Wood stated that the rule, which was intended to provide better protection of the nation’s water, violated the Clean Water Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, and she remanded it back to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers for further work. She wrote that while the agencies have authority to interpret the phrase “waters of the United...

Cali Carlisle admits she is a heroin addict — 'but in a healthy way,' she insists, even if the visual evidence belies that claim. Her nose is the brightest shade of red imaginable. She constantly picks at scabs all over her body. Her home is a makeshift bed beneath Interstate 80 in Sacramento. And Monday was her 26th birthday. Not that you would ever guess. Anyone looking at her would think she is at least 15 years older. Carlisle is part of California's growing homeless emergency. The state has around 130,000 people without a roof over their heads. But she...

Mr Hammond said he had "always made clear that I am not interested in bringing down the Government" but that he wanted the Government to acknowledge that "the majority is opposed to a no deal Brexit.”

Shocking video that shows an electronic voting machine malfunction during Mississippi's runoff election has gone viral on the internet, sparking concern from citizens. The clip was shared to Facebook on Tuesday by Oxford resident Sally Kate Walker, and shows a male voter trying to cast his ballot by selecting from two available options on a touch screen. The man touches a box marked 'Bill Waller Jr' - the candidate for whom he is voting to be the state's next Republican governor. However, once he selects his option, the machine inadvertently marks a box labelled 'Tate Reeves' - the other candidate...

When General Motors and Ford sell more cars, they are involved in more accidents. They undoubtedly advertise more in those places where they sell more cars. Does that mean that the car companies are responsible for additional accidents in those places? That they are purposefully plotting to create more accidents? Let’s hope not, but if Monday’s $570 million verdict by an Oklahoma judge against Johnson & Johnson for making opioids is any indication, those types of cases aren’t going to be far off. Oklahoma had refused to settle out of court believing that they could receive a very large verdict....

What is wrong with Hillary Clinton? Twice failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was spotted in the Hamptons on Monday looking rough wrapped in a tent. For years Hillary Clinton has denied she has significant health problems, but she looks unwell in recent pictures. Thank God this woman is not president. Hillary donned a pinstriped tent and white hat as she strolled through Amagansett Square, New York with a friend, reported the Daily Mail. These past couple of weeks Bill and Hillary have been all smiles in the Hamptons after Bill’s pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein ‘committed suicide’ in prison.

Actress turned leftist activist Alyssa Milano revealed the “key to beating Trump” in an op-ed published in The Hill Tuesday evening: “Biden at the top and a Harris vice presidency,” featuring virtually every other candidate serving in tops roles in a hypothetical Biden administration. Milano — who is, arguably, one of the most outspoken left-wing celebrities in Hollywood — indicated in her op-ed that Joe Biden (D) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) serve as the best duo to take down President Donald Trump in 2020. “Imagine this: Vice President Biden is currently leading the field, so let’s start there. With...

The late historian and political philosopher Harry V. Jaffa noted the significance that the preamble to our Constitution concludes with the words "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." This is how the drafters of our Constitution saw its purpose. Jaffa continues, saying, "a blessing is what is good in the eyes of God. It is a good whose possession ... belongs properly only to those who deserve it." In light of this, let's consider a just-released Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll that appeared under the headline "Americans Have Shifted Dramatically on What Values Matter Most." "Patriotism,...
