Editor's note: This column was co-authored by Tim Graham." Actress Susan Sarandon embodies the definitive caricature of the raving socialist who brims with "compassion" and with an estimated net worth of $50 million. She infuriated many liberals by telling MSNBC host Chris Hayes on March 28 that she can only envision Sen. Bernie Sanders for president: "I really want to be on the right side of history, and this is a shot that we're not going to have again in my lifetime, to have a candidate that is so morally consistent," while Hillary Clinton is "inauthentic" and a stalking horse...

It’s all part of a dramatic national trend that has seen Clinton’s support among nonwhite voters dwindle to well under a third of what it was just a month ago — not nearly enough support to carry her, as it did throughout the Deep South, to future electoral victories in the Midwest and Northeast. So no, it’s not a coincidence that, in the 18 state primary elections since March 1st, Bernie Sanders has won on Election Day in 12 of them.

Hillary Clinton owes Bernie Sanders’ campaign an apology, the campaign said Friday. Clinton on Thursday accused Sanders’ camp of “lying,” alleging that his campaign has been claiming Clinton accepts money from the fossil fuel industry — a statement she forcefully rejected when confronted by an environmental activist. “I think she probably owes the senator an apology for that because the senator is not lying about her record,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told MSNBC. “He’s talking about her record. He’s talking about her practices. She obviously doesn’t like it, but that doesn’t make it lying because you don’t like it.”...

Israel Defends Use of Force in Interrogation Published: May 8, 1997 GENEVA, May 7— Appearing before a skeptical panel of United Nations experts, Israeli officials today strenuously defended their nation's use of physical coercion in questioning detainees who might have information about terrorism. The hearing was by turns emotional and highly technical, and the Israeli officials for the first time provided a specific example in which they said a bombing had been averted with intelligence obtained through what Israel calls ''moderate physical pressure.''

Pat Leahy’s Israel Obsession The Vermont senator’s fixation with the Jewish State turns ugly. April 1, 2016 Ari Lieberman    Vermont, the state that gave us unrepentant socialist, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is home to another radical liberal breed named Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Along with Sanders, Sen. Leahy represents the left flank of the Democratic Party and often finds himself at loggerheads with its more centrist members. Not unsurprising, Leahy is also a visceral critic of Israel, the Mideast’s only democracy and stalwart U.S. ally. In 2011, citing alleged human rights violations, he proposed a bill that would have cut...

Actress Debra Messing unloaded on fellow actor Susan Sarandon this week after Sarandon said in an interview that she wouldn’t necessarily vote for Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton if her chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% does not win the nomination. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Monday, Sarandon said that she is going to “see what happens” if Sanders falls to Clinton in the primary, indicating she may not vote for Clinton in the general election. “You know, some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately,” Sarandon told Hayes. “If he gets in then...

Liberal actress Susan Sarandon is an outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter, but that doesn't mean she's wedded to the Democratic Party. In fact, she recently suggested that it would be better for Sanders' cause of "revolution" if Donald Trump were to win the presidential election in November.In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Monday night, Sarandon made an odd kind of endorsement for Trump. Hayes asked if Sarandon would "really" consider voting for Trump over Hillary. "Really," Sarandon said, adding that "some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately if he gets in, things will really...

During an interview with Piers Morgan, Donald Trump opened up about German Chancellor Angela Merkel, where he ripped her for being irresponsible and destroying Germany “in a matter of 2 years” so badly that the country may never be the same again. In the same interview, he fired shot at Hillary Clinton, calling her “close to incompetent,” weak, and leaving a trail of scandal wherever she goes. This is the kind of not tough talk, but real talk that America needs to hear because it’s the truth. From the UK Express: On Merkel “What Merkel did to Germany is a...

The presidential primary has been a wrenching experience for the GOP so far — and it’s about to get even worse. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich have all backed away from their pledge to support the party's eventual nominee, foreshadowing a fight at the convention and beyond that could cleave the GOP into warring factions.

Netanyahu responds to claim of 'extrajudicial killings,' noting that Sen. Leahy did not condemn PA leaders for inciting to murder. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has responded to a letter in which US Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) called for an investigation into claims that Israel carries out extrajudicial killings against Palestinians. "The IDF and the Israel Police do not engage in executions. Israel’s soldiers and police officers defend themselves and innocent civilians with the highest moral standards against bloodthirsty terrorists who come to murder them," he wrote. "Where is the concern for the human rights of the many Israelis who’ve been...

In an official statement first obtained by Breitbart Texas, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United States. The unusually bold statement comes just days after a senior policy adviser for Trump made clear that future U.S. border security policy would be largely determined by the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol who are actual agents protecting the border and not by politically-appointed bureaucrats

It looks as though Hillary Clinton is giving up on Wisconsin, conceding it to rival Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders, as she hunkers down in New York to prepare for a battle there. Mrs. Clinton has moved her campaign to New York in the pivotal days before the Wisconsin primary, which will be held April 5. Mrs. Clinton has no plans, as of now, to be in the Badger State before the contest. Although the public polling looks tight in Wisconsin, Mrs. Clinton’s internal polls must be telling another story — why else would she be trekking out of the state?...

The Florida prosecutor who will oversee the battery case against Donald Trump’s campaign manager is a donor to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and part of her Florida “leadership council" — but his office shut off any questions about his political stance 
as “inappropriate.” A spokesman for Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave 
Aronberg scolded a Herald 
reporter for requesting an interview with the Democrat to discuss how he’ll balance his own political leanings with the politically charged case against Lowell native Corey Lewandowski, 
calling it an “inappropriate 
conversation.” “It’s an inappropriate request, and we’re not responding to it,” spokesman Mike...

Tuesday on CNN’s “Outfront,” Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was asked how he might fare having to compete against Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in an open primary setting like Wisconsin.

Alan Gross is not feeling the Bern. The former aid worker who spent who spent over four years behind bars in Cuba said he can’t tolerate Democratic president candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ praise for some of the Cuban government’s accomplishments. Sanders was one of three senators who visited Gross while he was in a Cuban prison after being accused of being a spy and also helped to secure the aid worker’s eventual release. Gross, who was jailed in 2009, was eventually released in December 2014. “I had the impression that Bernie didn’t see that there was so much...

It reports Cruz supporters are at a combined 39% and Kasich supporters are at a combined 33%. Hillary's supporters are at 54% way above Comrade Sanders'44%.

MSNBC will host “candidate events” with four presidential candidates on Wednesday — one night after CNN hosts a town hall with the three GOP hopefuls. Yes, it’s come to that. MSNBC’s event will include GOP candidates John Kasich and Donald Trump and Dem candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and begins at 7 PM ET. Missing from the list: GOP hopeful Ted Cruz. MSNBC said it has invited all candidates to participate.

President Obama’s former campaign manager on Monday argued that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has no hope of defeating Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I believe Hillary Clinton has zero chance of not being the Democratic nominee,” David Plouffe wrote on Medium. "The Clinton lead is almost 300 in pledged delegates. And over 700 in total delegates. "Clinton will end the primary, even if she underperforms the rest of the way, with a pledged delegate lead greater than Barack Obama’s in 2008.”

Susan Sarandon: Trump Might Be Better Choice for President Than Clinton David Rutz BY: March 29, 2016 9:33 am Actress and Bernie Sanders supporter Susan Sarandon suggested Monday that Donald Trump would be preferable to Hillary Clinton if it came down to that match-up in the presidential general election, saying “some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately.” MSNBC’s All In host Chris Hayes mentioned the “growing concern” that fervent Sanders supporters disliked Clinton so much that they would abandon her if she was the Democratic nominee, which Clinton appears on track to be. “That’s a legitimate...

All Hell Is Breaking Loose at Arizona Election Fraud HearingNathan Wellman | March 28, 2016 A raucous hearing on election fraud in the Arizona primary is still going on in Phoenix. As of this writing, the hearing was moved to a separate room and is currently in recess due to continued outbursts of protest in the gallery. Helen Purcell began the Arizona Election Fraud hearing by saying “I want to begin by apologizing what took place on March 27th… As I said in the past, I am deeply sorry.” However, it’s clear that the people of Arizona have no intention...
