President Trump on Saturday dismissed Joe Biden's White House bid after the former vice president's campaign expressed confidence it could flip several states this November. "I'm not running against Sleepy Joe Biden. He is not even a factor. Never was, remember 1% Joe?" Trump tweeted, referring to Biden's past White House campaigns that failed to garner support. "I'm running against the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats & their partner, the real opposition party, the Lamestream Fake News Media! They are vicious & crazy, but we will WIN!" Trump added. Trump has repeatedly gone after Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, and...

The coronavirus has taken many lives, wrecked a once great economy and shown, for all the world to see, who these new radical Democrats really are and what they want.

GoFundMe summary: Because I think it's important that during this time the President stay healthy and being that he's pushing this drug so much he should have his own. So, what nicer way to say thank you for all he's done for America than to send him, literally, a taste of his own medicine.

I was surprised and shaken when I read the news recently that a Pakistani court had overturned the conviction of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the man convicted of masterminding the abduction of my friend Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. Saeed did not murder Danny himself, but he did lure him from his home and, one way or another, delivered him to his death. At his trial, Saeed — a militant jihadi who had been previously convicted of a separate kidnapping of Western tourists in India — was found guilty of murder and kidnapping. He was sentenced to...

President Trump offered rare praise for MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow after she highlighted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's effort to respond to the outbreak of the coronavirus. "Thank you to Rachel @Maddow for putting our Military on full display, and showing how GREAT a job the Federal Government is doing," Trump tweeted Friday. "Also, a special thanks to General Semonite, a Patriot of the highest order and a truly talented engineer and builder!" Maddow brought Gen. Todd Semonite, commanding general for the corps, on her show Thursday to discuss how the federal government is creating makeshift hospitals in key...

While we hope to never experience a revolution in our lifetime in America, it is important that we understand and learn from the revolutions of history. For part 1 of my series on revolutions, we are going to look at one of the defining revolutions in history — The French Revolution of 1789. Many today wrongly believe that the French Revolution was a success. By all measures, it was rather an abject failure, delaying France’s adoption of Democracy by more than one hundred years...

Rep. Ilhan Omar said she has a “radical idea” to combat the coronavirus: making all hospitals public during the pandemic. “Here is maybe a radical idea to deal with some of the pressures our healthcare system is facing: All private hospitals should be made public for the duration of the virus,” the Minnesota Democrat tweeted Tuesday night. Omar has previously called for "Medicare for all" and has given her support to self-described democratic socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. "Imagine if the progressives consolidated last night like the moderates consolidated, who would have won? That’s...

On January 8, 2020, Chesa Boudin became San Francisco's newest district attorney. A lifelong leftist who was raised by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn after his own parents were imprisoned for felony murder committed while they were part of the Weather Underground, Boudin is dedicated to undermining the American system. His latest pronouncement about what constitutes "justice" in a Boudin administration is in sync with this mission. In November, when it looked as if San Franciscans were going to hand their criminal justice system over to a man looking to destroy it, Monica Showalter had a few choice words for...

Failed politician Stacey Abrams wants to do away with the electoral college. Her reasoning? The electoral college is a "classist, racist system whose time has passed and we need to get rid of it," so it's the same argument the left makes to get rid of everything they don't like. Naturally, Abrams attacked the centuries old constitutional system with the cast of ABC's "The View" on Monday morning.   Abrams claims the founding founders created the electoral system as a racist system designed somehow to prevent blacks from voting. To make her point, Abrams repeated the historically illiterate lie about...

What are Pete Buttigieg’s politics?If you read CBS, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Guardian, and a host of their friends, the former mayor is decidedly a moderate. According to The Washington Post and a few more, he’s “a traditional centrist” who embodies “the Democratic primary’s rightward drift.” And if you listen to the left-wing activists trailing him around, he’s “Wall Street Pete” and “will kill us.”His supposed moderation and support (almost solely) among white liberals torments Lucy, a white liberal who graduated high school more than a decade ago but writes for Teen Vogue. “Why I’m Not...

It is clear from his words that he is a PROGRESSIVE white nationalist – what was once defined as a “Nazi.”

**SNIP** In a recent study in Nature Climate Change, Danielle Lawson, a postdoctoral student at NC State University, and her colleagues found that putting middle-school children in a class about climate change could influence their parent’s views on the subject. The effects were the strongest on conservative fathers—significant because conservative white men have been previously shown to have the lowest levels of climate concern. Lawson called this a case of "intergenerational learning," or the transfer of behavior and knowledge from children to parents. She thinks their study was successful partially because ideology and political identity have become so conflated with...

Mayor Pete Buttigieg demonstrated his radical left agenda at the first night of CNN Democrat presidential primary debates on Tuesday. “We’ve got to summon the courage to walk away from the past and do something different,” Buttigieg said during his opening statement. “This is our shot.” Buttigieg was not attacked for his leftist views by some of the more moderate Democrats on the stage, but he quietly defended most of the radical agenda voiced by the far-left candidates, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

For the 2020 election, Democrats are proposing policies of sweep and ambition not seen since the New Deal or the Great Society. Ideas that would have seemed radical even five years ago — publicly funded college, a Green New Deal, Medicare for All — are now at the top of many candidates’ platforms. Most intriguing: As once-fringe ideas enter the mainstream debate, they are proving popular. “Medicare for All is supported by at least 55 percent of the public,” says Sean McElwee, a co-founder of the progressive think tank Data for Progress. “So why is that treated as an extreme...

The radical-leftist governor of New Mexico, who sent National Guard troops packing in February, needs federal help now, it seems. She’s in the Swamp to beg for funding as illegal immigrants overwhelm the state. After months of neglecting the border cities and towns, toeing the DC elite party line of no “crisis” here, and facing a veritable citizens’ revolt in the Land of Enchantment, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is demanding federal government assistance for the dire situation – one she exacerbated through indifference to constituents.Michelle Lujan Grisham And it comes on the heels of yet another county drawing a line...

An Arizona pastor who has said he prayed for the death of former President Obama and praised the 2016 mass shooting at Florida’s Pulse nightclub has become the first person banned from entering Ireland,

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris said she supports having a third gender option on federal ID forms as she continues to campaign heavily on social justice issues. The California Democrat was asked about the issue during an event at Keene State College in New Hampshire on Tuesday. “Sure,” she replied, according to multiple media reports.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania dismissed a climate lawsuit brought by an environmental organization and two children against the federal government. The lawsuit, Clean Air Council v. United States, claimed that Trump administration rollbacks of environmental regulations and other “anti-science” decisions violate Constitutional rights and the public trust.  In dismissing the claims on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond scoffed at what he interpreted as a request that he “supervise any actions the President and his appointees take that might touch on ‘the environment.’”  Beyond ruling on this case, however, Diamond went further to rebuke U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken for her ruling in Juliana v....
