Joe Lieberman warns Democrats off Ilhan Omar
Joe Lieberman, former senator and vice presidential nominee, offered some stern words to the Democrats rallying around Rep. Ilhan Omar right now that went like this: Tread carefully. Rallying about anti-Semitism could come back to bite. You don't say. But to Democrats -- apparently, even anti-Semitic comments are worthy of defense. Published March 7, 2019
Anti-Semitism within America’s gates
Just as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist principles warn of a shocking, trending direction of America's domestic politics, Rep. Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic statements serve as a harbinger of what could be coming down the pike for U.S. foreign policy. Published March 7, 2019
Geraldo Rivera defends socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘She’s me’ in my youth
Geraldo Rivera, in a heated debate on Fox News, defended Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by saying she was a too-easy target of the ideological right and that conservatives should just leave her alone because "she has heart" and socialism "is so yesterday" and mean old Americans were killing the dreams of all these youthful idealists.

Black journalists demand CNN submit to ‘civil rights audit’
CNN, land of the liberals, where diversity and tolerance supposedly reign, has been accused of keeping out blacks from its upper-media ranks -- the level that reports directly to company President Jeff Zucker -- and placed on a "special media monitoring list" by the National Association of Black Journalists.

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton fingered by former adviser for nepotism, revenge politics
A veteran Democratic foreign policy adviser accused Bill and Hillary Clinton, her former bosses, of punishing her for backing Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race and for using their high-ranking positions to try and influence an outlet to give Chelsea Clinton's boyfriend a cushy, coveted scholarship.

Democrats suddenly find their copies of Constitution
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said he was concerned President Donald Trump was trying to be a dictator, and Democrats simply couldn't stand for that. This is quite an astonishing turnaround for Democrats. After all, where was all this concern about dictatorial leadership when Barack Obama was king? Published March 5, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the ‘twit’ sensible Democrats will soon flee
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is emerging, for the Republicans, as the gift that keeps on giving. How so? Well, when one of the co-founders of Greenpeace calls you out on Twitter as a "pompous little twit" for your Green New Deal -- umm, perhaps it's time to rethink your political positions.

Rose McGowan’s bragging abortion moment
It's one thing to believe in a woman's right to choose. It's another thing entirely to crow about having an abortion, as if it were the best decision ever made, right up there with picking the proper college or volunteering free time for Habitat for Humanity or something. Published March 4, 2019
Jim Jordan on point: ‘No collusion’ — except maybe for Clintons
Rep. Jim Jordan, the top-ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee, put out a tweet that said bluntly: "There was no collusion." And on that, he's got the pulse of most of the politically aware of the nation. Published March 4, 2019
Bernie Sanders, Democrats court 2020 black votes with 1620 messages
Sen. Bernie Sanders kicked off a presidential rally in Chicago with a rousing singing of the national anthem by a black singer, followed by rousing speeches from various notables from the black community, followed by a rousing reading of a list of young black men killed in police shootings in recent times. Overcompensate much? Published March 4, 2019
Democrats and their race and gender card antics
Democrats have this annoying habit of seeing race in places where race isn't even an issue. It's called identity politics, it's one of the left's favorite means of politicking, and it's damaging to America because it immediately stifles all sane debate. The left does it with gender, as well. Published February 26, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest rant nothing but deception
Another day, another Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delusional rant. This one, this time, comes in response to a Fox News discussion about the congresswoman's decision to pay a minimum of $52,000 for her office staffers. Published February 25, 2019
Melting the racial glaciers in America
Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren just made national headlines for pushing the idea America needs to provide reparations for blacks to account for slavery. What folly. What political opportunism. There's a better way to soothe race relations in this country -- one that inspires and unites, rather than angers and divides. Published February 23, 2019
Joe diGenova’s advice to patriots: It’s a ‘civil war’ — ‘I buy guns’
Joe diGenova, a former prosecutor-turned-media-pundit, had some interesting words of wisdom for patriotic Americans watching with alarm what he called the growing "civil war" that's coming to the country. Buy guns, he said. More guns. He's got a point. Published February 22, 2019
Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and their divisive push for reparations for blacks
Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren reportedly said they support the idea of paying back black Americans for slavery -- of reparations -- and that this country is going to have a hard time achieving racial equality without taking this step. Warning: Divisiveness alert. Published February 22, 2019
Barack Obama deserves props for ‘twerking’ talk
Grudging as it may be, Obama deserves some props for speaking bluntly to black youth of America and offering them a message that should resonate with us all -- and that we should carry back to our own families, our own communities, and remember to teach to our own children. What is it? The worth of a person is not in the external. Published February 21, 2019
Eric Holder, Barack Obama merger means more chaos at the polls
Barack Obama's Organizing for America is poised to merge with Eric Holder's National Redistricting Action Fund, and the end result -- an "All On The Line" campaign -- will bring on a massive grassroots push to redistrict in a way that solidifies progressive influence for years to come.

The folly of focusing on ‘Socialism’ with a capital ‘S’
Raise the red flags on socialism -- warn about the rising acceptance of socialism as based on polls and surveys -- and soon, a media pundit or scholarly spokesperson will point out to a worried America that this is not a real socialism we're talking about here. Well, so what? Socialism is Big Government and that's all that matters. Published February 21, 2019
Democrats in deliciously difficult spot with ‘Green New Deal’
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is poised to get Democrats on record with the "Green New Deal" by forcing a vote. It should be interesting. Some Dems have signed on; many others have stayed silent, no doubt realizing the mocking they'll take from the saner citizens of the nation for supporting such a delusional plan.

Bernie Sanders already branded a liar
Sen. Bernie Sanders announced his campaign for president on "This Morning" on CBS -- and within minutes, he was already raising eyebrows about his ability to stick with the truth. It's not good to kick off a campaign already branded a liar. Published February 20, 2019
