Maya Rockeymoore, widow of Elijah Cummings (D-MD), and chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, is expected to run for her late husband's House seat, according to a report. Rockeymoore has not yet said whether she plans to run, the Washington Examiner reported.

Planned Parenthood’s exit from the federal Title X family planning program has spurred an array of allies to sound alarms about “millions of women” losing access to cancer screenings and birth control.  The charge is baseless and absurd.Women will still have many providers and facilities from which to obtain health care and contraception if Planned Parenthood is no longer an option.  Federally qualified health clinics and other rural and community health centers outnumber Planned Parenthood clinics by as much as 20 to one and they offer many services that Planned Parenthood does not: mammograms, immunizations, and care for medical disorders...

Watch Alisyn closely, she’s not listening to beto nor does she care what he’s saying, her only goal is to get him to say that he wants to confiscate guns so she can marginalize him away from the democratic party. CNN never challenges Pro Gun Control politicians like this, but now that BETO is saying out loud what they ultimately want to do they have to discredit him and make him seem crazy. Granted he is, but this whole, “Mass Shooters don’t follow laws bit” is something we in the gun community have been saying for years and the far...

@FloridaDude297 "LOUISIANA ELECTION. Exit polls and post election surveys are in. Republicans received 25% of the Black vote. GOP Black voters was 291% over 2015. #1 issue for Conservative voting Black Voters was Democrats attacking President Trump."

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard resigned her post as a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee today, allowing her to formally endorse Bernie Sanders for president. Gabbard made the announcement on the NBC political talk show "Meet the Press." "As a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, I'm required to remain neutral in Democratic primaries, but I cannot remain neutral any longer," Gabbard laterexplained in a video statement. "The stakes are just too high." Gabbard cited her experience as a veteran of two military deployments in arguing that Sanders has the judgment necessary to make sound military decisions. "We...

You’ll notice some significant changes at http://DHVANI.com,” the Portland, Oregon based company tweeted Monday. “We realize that some of our customers won’t agree with our activism and that’s okay with us. We’re not afraid to make bold statements & exercise our first amendment rights.”

It’s early. Way too early to discuss polling in any serious measure, especially in the absence of a Democratic nominee, but the liberal media loves to trot out their trash polls about the president’s approval ratings and support for impeachment in what could be argued as a prolonged campaign to demoralize the GOP base. It won’t. If anything, how the liberal media has behaved over the past three years has only become one massive in-kind contribution to Trump’s re-elect as everyone sees through their bias, lies, and gross incompetence. How many times were we told about Russian collusion? It was...

It’s always fascinating to watch a master at work, isn’t it? For some time, House Speaker Pelosi found herself between her party’s nutjobs on one side and the few sanity seekers on the other. She held on to sanity, I suspect, not because it was the right thing to do, but because the stars had not yet aligned to achieve her objective. Recently, the stars moved for her. Here’s what Pelosi did and why. She unleashed the impeachment dogs on a duly elected president of the United States, knowing full well that despite all the rhetoric, nothing would come of it....

Texas prosecutors said on Friday they would seek a murder indictment against the former Fort Worth police officer who shot dead a 28-year-old black woman in her home. "We have completed an initial review of the case, and based on the evidence we intend to ask the Grand Jury for an indictment of murder against Aaron Dean," Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney Sharen Wilson said in a statement. "We will prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law." Jim Lane, an attorney representing Dean, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Treaty permanently restricts our military independence, demands payment of an unspecified sum, prevents independent arbitration, grants EU officials immunity from UK laws, leaves us with EIB contingent liabilities running into tens if not hundreds of billions and will impose punitive laws on the UK during a transition which is likely to be extended until mid 2022 (just a few months before the next General Election). The Political Declaration is such that a future FTA with the EU is made unpalatable because it will restrict our foreign policy and military independence as well as policies in trade, tax, fishing, environment,...

The blackouts imposed by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in mid-October affected hundreds of thousands of residents throughout California, causing agricultural operations to come to a virtual standstill in some areas while costing the state’s overall economy as much as $2.6 billion, according to some estimates. It also fueled a valuable conversation about the condition of our forests and the apparent lack of preparedness among our government agencies and utilities.

While some have suggested that Mayor Pete Buttigieg “won” this week’s Democrat presidential debate, there is no question who, or rather what, was the loser. CNN and New York Times reporters did not ask any candidate any question about climate change and its offspring, the Green New Deal. It was a surprising omission. In the abstract, climate has polled as a very high priority among Democrat voters, so much so that in September, CNN televised a seven-and-one-half hour town hall meeting on climate for the candidates. This week, both Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer briefly protested the lack of attention...

America's September unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, the lowest level since 1969, according to the most recent Department of Labor report.The tight labor market is forcing companies to hire disadvantaged Americans. For example, New Seasons Market, a West Coast grocery chain, is actively recruiting people with disabilities and prior criminal records. Similarly, Custom Equipment, a Wisconsin manufacturing firm, recently hired several prison inmates through a work-release program and intends to employ them full-time upon their release.For the first time in decades, these disadvantaged Americans are finally winning significant pay increases. Over the past year, the lowest-paid 25 percent of...

It sounds contradictory: Young people, we’re told, are having less sex than older generations did at the same age. But they’re also contracting more sexually transmitted diseases than any other group, and the rates of infection are accelerating at an alarming pace. Last year, combined cases of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia reached an all-time high with half the reported infections occurring in adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 24. The reason for the increases among younger people is likely a combination of factors, ranging from reduced access to health care to riskier behavior among those who are sexually active....

West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran said Ed Buck once hung an effigy of him in a park. Some municipal employees said they refused to meet alone with him, and he unnerved two political foes so much at council meetings that sheriff’s deputies accompanied them to their cars afterward. **SNIP** Buck’s political influence has drawn intense criticism, especially from black and LGBTQ activists who believe his status as a white Democratic donor initially insulated him from prosecution and that influential people made excuses for a man whose volatility was on public display for years. Jasmyne Cannick, a black political consultant...

FULL TITLE: 'We're not putting up with your Republican bullsh*t!': Sen. Rand Paul and staff accosted while having lunch Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was trying to enjoy a meal in public this week, when a couple felt it was the perfect opportunity to yell at him about how they have different political views than he does. On Friday, Sen. Paul's deputy chief of staff posted a video on Twitter with the message, "While having lunch with @RandPaul in California, we got verbally assaulted by these aggressive libs complaining about incivility," with the hashtag, "unhinged." In the clip, a man can...

Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager, tweeted these amazing stats gleaned from Trump's Dallas rally last Thursday. 53,985 voters identified 12% have not voted in the last 4 elections 21.4% Democrat 11% Latino These are winning numbers that will help win #FourMoreYears for @realDonaldTrump! We continue to outperform 2016, Parscale tweeted. NOTE: Trump is raising huge amts of campaign cash online with one simple sentence: "Help us fight Democrat impeachment."

[These missiles in Cuba are] “nothing but refugee rumors. Nothing in Cuba presents a threat to the United States. There’s no likelihood that the Soviets or Cubans would try and install an offensive capability in Cuba," said a sneering National Security Advisor, McGeorge Bundy, on ABC’s Issues and Answers, Oct. 14, 1962.“There’s fifty-odd-thousand Cuban refugees in this country, all living for the day when we go to war with Cuba. They’re the ones putting out this kind of stuff (about missiles),” said a sneering President John F. Kennedy on Oct. 15th, 1962.“The USSR could derive considerable military advantage from the establishment...

We unfairly give way too much authority and credibility to medical associations. They’re comprised of people who are no more moral or ethical than the rest of the human race. Heinous acts have been committed in the name of “medical science” throughout history: Shark Island, Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Nazi Science Experiments, Gosnell’s Supercoil Experiment, Puerto Rico Birth Control Experiment, Philadelphia Prison Experiments, Children with Cerebral Palsy at Sonoma State Hospital, University of Iowa ‘Monster Study,’ and many more. So why do we accept their blatant political activism disguised as healthcare? The American Medical Association (AMA) just released one of the most...
