Andrew Yang and the Normies
replies
Once you read his book, it is apparent that Andrew Yang is running for president because he is afraid of normal people. Given that there are approximately 11 million candidates for the Democratic nomination, you could be forgiven for not having heard of Yang. He is currently polling at one percent; 59 percent of those polled have never heard of him. He has never held high office, his only claim to political fame being brief recognition by the Obama White House.But Yang´s quixotic run has attracted attention, and a few supporters, for its far-out message. He believes that 21st-century automation

During an early February round of golf with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods at Trump National Golf Club, President Donald Trump saw something in Woods — who hadn’t won a major championship since 2008 — that the rest of the country found out this weekend.“Everyone is asking how Tiger played yesterday,” Trump tweeted on February 3rd after their outing. “The answer is Great! He was long, straight & putted fantastically well. He shot a 64. Tiger is back & will be winning Majors again! Not surprisingly, Jack also played really well. His putting is amazing! Jack & Tiger like each

Pete Buttigieg is the latest star to emerge from Democrats’ 2020 pack, which is no surprise since he exhibits all the tropes we have come to associate with this party in the era of its Trump derangement. On the evidence just of his attacks on Vice President Mike Pence, Buttigieg is a shameless liar, a calculating character assassin and an anti-religious/anti-free speech bigot, motivated by a virulent hatred of his political opponents, especially those who have been good to him like Pence. Buttigieg’s chosen target is one of the most decent human beings in politics, who was supportive of Buttegieg
President Donald Trump´s reelection campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to The Associated Press. The haul brings the campaign´s cash on hand to $40.8 million, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign. The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26. Trump´s fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter —
JULIAN Assange was kicked out of the Ecuador embassy for allegedly sharing a photo of the president eating a lobster. The WikiLeaks founder is accused of leaking an embarrassing snap of Ecuadorian premier Lenin Moreno dining on a platter of lobster in bed in a luxury hotel room. Mr Moreno was so furious at the breach that he ordered Assange’s seven-year refuge at the embassy be ended on Thursday, the Mail on Sunday reports. The silver-haired hacker was booted out of his Knightsbridge safe haven after being handcuffed by embassy security and dragged out by officers from Scotland Yard.
Pop icon Cher said Sunday that Los Angeles, California, “can’t take care of its own” residents, much less newly arrived illegal and legal immigrants. Cher said she failed to understand how the city of Los Angeles in the sanctuary state of California could afford to admit and take care of any more immigrants when city officials have failed to care for homeless, veterans, and poverty-stricken Americans.
Roger Stone is calling on a federal judge to dismiss charges against him stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, while also demanding an unredacted copy of the final report. Stone’s lawyers made the demands in a flurry of court motions filed on Friday, days ahead of the expected release of a redacted copy of Mueller’s report. “Only by reviewing the full, unredacted Mueller Report can Roger Stone be assured of his rights to due process, to compulsory process, to know the exculpatory evidence, to determine whether or not he is being selectively prosecuted,” Stone’s lawyers said.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi didn´t hold back during an interview with 60 Minutes regarding her opinions on the capabilities of President Donald Trump. "I think that there´s nobody in the country who knows better that he should not be president of the United States than Donald Trump," Pelosi said when asked to describe the president. 60 Minutes journalist Lesley Stahl then asked if Pelosi thought Trump was aware he should not be president. "I think he does. Yeah," Pelosi said. "But I respect the office he holds and, uh, he´s not-- worth the trouble of saying you´re
President Donald Trump reportedly called former president Jimmy Carter to talk about China.Emma Hurt, who works for NPR’s affiliate in Atlanta, reported on the call, which Carter talked about during his Sunday School class.“In Sunday school this morning President Carter said he got a call from @realDonaldTrump last night, and they talked about China. Carter said Trump is rightly concerned that ‘China is getting ahead of us,´” Hurt wrote. (Tweet) She continued on in a second tweet: “Carter said that’s true. He suggested maybe it’s because China hasn’t been spending money on war like the US. They haven’t been at
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi instructed Capitol Hill Police to heighten security arrangements around Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar in the wake of comments she made about the 9/11 terror attacks and the response from the president on social media.“Following the President’s tweet, I spoke with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar, her family and her staff. They will continue to monitor and address the threats she faces,” Pelosi said in a statement Sunday afternoon.She added, “The President’s words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger.
After a major flap for driving Amazon out of New York City, something even socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed her for, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is targeting another New York City business - the New York Post. She´s joining hands with a leftist newsstand seller group calling on all newsstand owners to quit selling the paper because she didn´t like its cover story reminding New Yorkers that her congressional gal pal, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was trivializing the worst terrorist attack on American soil -- which triggered its greatest damage in New York.
SOUTH BEND, Ind.— Pete Buttigieg, the little-known Indiana mayor who has risen to prominence in the early stages of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, made his official campaign entrance Sunday by claiming the mantle of youthful generation ready to reshape the country.“I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern millennial mayor. More than a little bold, at age 37, to seek the highest office in the land,” he said to cheers of “Pete, Pete, Pete” from an audience assembled in a former Studebaker auto plant.The South Bend mayor, a Rhodes Scholar and Afghanistan War veteran who has been
Venezuela´s President Nicolas Maduro warned the U.S. government to stay out of his country’s crisis, warning President Donald Trump that the White House would be “stained with blood” if there was any military intervention. The embattled leader rejected an EU-imposed deadline of Sunday to call snap elections and responded to Trump’s remarks to CBS that military force in the South American country “remains an option.” Amid rampant inflation, protests and violence, Maduro said the prospect of civil war depends on “the level of madness and aggressiveness of the northern empire and its Western allies.”
An attorney representing a White House civil servant being scrutinized by the House Oversight Committee wants the security clearance applications of senior Obama White House staff including Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney and Ben Rhodes. (Snip) According to Jordan and Meadows, Rhodes — a former senior national security and foreign policy advisor for the Obama administration — received a high-level security clearance “despite a questionable background investigation that may have led the [FBI] to deny him an interim clearance.”
The lights in Petare had gone dark. Again. The people of Venezuela’s largest slum were used to the blackouts that halt the flow of water, exhaust their supplies of expensive candles and fray their already thin patience. But this would not be like any other lightless night in the hillside barrio. Amid the darkened alleyways, a strange, joyful sound emerged between the zinc-roofed homes. Tambourines jingled, maracas rattled, drums throbbed. Voices called all who could hear to salvation. “Cristo sana y salva...” 10 members of the Restoring Hearts church sang against the darkness. “Christ heals and saves...”
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said his committee would be investigating President Donald Trump’s “contempt for law.” When asked about reports the president told border agents to stop letting asylum seekers in the country, Nadler said, “My response is this shows the president’s contempt for law, another incidence of the president’s contempt for law, to order that something clearly illegal, mainly blocking people claiming asylum from coming into the country which is clearly against our law. That is against the law or offering a pardon even if in
Sarah Sanders: Democrats in Congress Are Not ‘Smart Enough’ to Understand Trump’s Tax Returns
replies
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Democrats in Congress were not “smart enough” to understand President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Sanders said, “The president has been clear from the beginning. As long as his taxes are under audit, he’s not going to release them.” She continued, “One of the biggest things that I think people aren’t seeing is the fact that the only reason that the Oversight Committee has the ability to request someone’s taxes is for the purpose of determining policy. This has nothing to do with whether or not they are
Actor Geoffrey Thorne told Turning Point USA’s communications director Candace Owens that conservatives will “never accept” her, adding “they will never think [of] you as anything but an obedient n****r.” “Without question, it is more difficult today to come out as a conservative than it is to come out as gay. Conservatives today are treated with the same social stigma as gays were in the 80’s,” said Owens in her initial tweet, “Sunday on the #CandaceOwensShow, @robsmithonline and I discuss!!” “they will never accept you.
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and 2020 presidential hopeful said the Second Amendment was not an absolute right. Discussing his proposal to “ban possession of military-style semi-automatic assault weapons,” Swalwell said, “You know, keep your pistols, keep your long rifles, keep your shotguns. I want the most dangerous weapons, these weapons of war, out of the hands of the most dangerous people. But when it comes to what else we can do, because I don’t even suggest this is all we can do, I also want background checks. So do 73% of NRA members.” When asked
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded that President Donald Trump take down the video that he tweeted out on Friday that accurately portrayed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) trivializing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. ".@realDonaldTrump’s dangerous video must be taken down," Pelosi tweeted. "I have spoken with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Rep. @Ilhan Omar, her family & her staff.

Congratulations are in order for President Trump — and Secretary of State Pompeo — in the wake of the latest news from the International Criminal Court. In a surprising, and all the more welcome, move, the Hague-based solons this morning unanimously rejected a bid by the court’s own chief prosecutor to open an investigation into whether our GIs and intelligence operators committed crimes in Afghanistan. When we say that’s surprising, it’s not to suggest that our forces in Afghanistan deserve an investigation by the ICC. They don’t. It is to suggest that a pro-American decision
Deconstructing Julian Assange
replies
He’s idolized by the extreme right and the extreme left. He’s been praised to the skies by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. He’s beloved of a constellation of celebrities, from the 1960s’ era personalities Yoko Ono and Bianca Jagger to the counterculture documentarist Michael Moore and 1990s’ Baywatch pin-up Pamela Anderson. But none of that did Julian Assange any good, and the combined efforts of his weird cult following was completely useless to the bedraggled 47-year-old Wikileaks headman when the London Metropolitan Police dragged him kicking and shouting from the Ecuadoran embassy in Knightsbridge
Christie Tells it Like It Is

Chris Christie’s public career has had its ups and downs, but at his best he has brought clarity to a number of issues. On Fox Radio with Brian Kilmeade, he said what he thought about Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “As somebody who had my wife two blocks away from the World Trade Center that day, my brother on the floor of the New York Stock exchange, and a number of people in our local parish here who passed away, a murder occurred,” Christie said on the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio. “Multiple murders occurred, 2,900 murders
A large, flightless bird native to Australia and New Guinea attacked and killed its owner on a farm in Florida, according to authorities. The man, identified by police as 75-year-old Marvin Hajos, raised cassowaries and was injured after falling on a path near their enclosure Friday, according to Alachua County Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Jeff Taylor. Paramedics found Hajos just after 10 a.m. on Friday and transported him to the hospital where he died of his injuries, police said.

I am a lowly lawyer who has never argued before the Supreme Court, and never will. I am not a constitutional scholar, Justice Ginsburg has never heard of me, and I know that in the grand scheme of things, my opinion matters to her very little (and almost certainly not at all). Nevertheless, I hope Justice Ginsburg will forgive my presumptuousness, and will entertain this immodest, yet (I believe) very respectful, sincere, timely, and practical proposal. There is no sense ignoring the herd of elephants stomping around the room, so I’ll just say it: Justice Ginsburg is dying. This is
AUGUSTA, Ga. — In a comeback for the ages, Tiger Woods reached the pinnacle of his return to the game by winning his fifth green jacket and 15th major championship Sunday in the 83rd edition of the Masters. Staring at the abyss just two years ago when he was bedridden and thinking his career was over due to a painfully disorderly back, Woods was stoic and steady throughout the week at Augusta National Golf Club despite the roars echoing through the Georgia pines. With a final-round 2-under-par 70 in his Sunday red mock turtleneck, Woods won on these hallowed grounds for the
CBS crime drama The Good Fight tweeted an image on Friday from a recent episode, entitled, “The One Where Diane Joins the Resistance.” The imaged showed a character pointing to a list of “target words” that included the phrases “Assassinate President Trump” and “Eliminate Mar-a-Lago.” The tweet, which has since been deleted, sparked backlash among Twitter users, many of who reported CBS to the Secret Service.The official CBS Twitter account for The Good Fight asked viewers if they had noticed any “Easter eggs” within the “target words” from the Mach episode. “Hmmm… some of those target words look a little
Tiger Woods won the Masters on Sunday, for the first time in 11 years. The victory also represents Woods’ 15th major win, with only three major championships separating him from the all-time record of 18 held by Jack Nicklaus. The golf legend thought he was done with the game in 2017. While accepting the Ben Hogan Award, a recognition given to golfers who compete despite physical ailments. Woods said: I was done at that particular time. In order to actually come to the dinner, I had to get a nerve block just to be able to walk and come to
Prior to the publication of the stolen Democratic-party emails and internal documents, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks exhorted Russian government hackers to send them “new material.” That is what we are told by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of Russian intelligence officers. (I won’t offend anyone by calling them “spies” — after all, they were just doing electronic surveillance authorized by their government, right?)

he mayor of Oakland told President Trump that, contrary to his claims about sanctuary cities, her city would welcome any illegal immigrants without exception. Mr. Trump noted in a tweet that Mayor Libby Schaaf had denounced as an “abuse of power and public resources” an idea he was publicly toying with to send detained illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.(Snip) But Ms. Schiff called his bluff and said Oakland is fine with all immigrants of whatever stripe. “It’s time to stop fanning hate and division @realDonaldTrump—I’ve been consistent and clear: #Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or
Predicting what history will decide was significant is always dicey. But in the context of our fractured nation and the nonstop Washington tumult since 2016, events in the last three weeks have been nothing short of remarkable. Against an enormous army of antagonists, political and cultural, academic and judicial, Donald Trump is enjoying some of the best days of his presidency. His power and popularity are expanding. Meanwhile, Democrats and the left, including the media, have suffered one crushing blow after another. Their recent confidence that Trump was not long for the Oval Office is suddenly morphing into a panic
The $14 billion system of levees and floodwalls built around New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is already sinking just 11 months after it was completed, experts have said. The Army Corps of Engineers said in an impact study notice earlier this month that the flood control system could loose its intended ability protect against a 100-year flood as soon as 2023. The agency said it it was concerned by ‘weak soils, general subsidence, and the global incidence of sea level rise that will cause levees to require future lifts to sustain performance.’ The Corps of Engineers said it needs to study
The Summit County Attorney’s Office on Wednesday filed 18 criminal charges against a 17-year-old boy related to the release of bear spray at Park City High School that hospitalized one person and sickened more than a dozen others April 1.

SANTA FE — New Mexico´s top election official on Thursday rejected for the second time a proposed petition for a referendum asking voters to repeal a new gun law.

For the far left, nothing is sacred when it comes to sticking up for anti-Semitic, 9/11 trivializing Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn). Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a decorated former Navy SEAL who suffered major injuries in the war on terror as a result of 9/11, had this to say about Omar´s latest statement trivializing 9/11:After that, the left spewed a string of ad hominem attack that can only be characterized as vile.

Last month, Chris Buskirk wrote a column for the Spectator USA describing Representative Devin Nunes as “a hero of the Republic.” It was well-deserved praise. Nunes, a Republican Congressman from a rural district in California was, until January, chairman of the House Permanent Special Committee on Intelligence (he is now the ranking member). Nunes has worked tirelessly for more than two years to expose what our masters in deep-state Washington would bury from the glare of public scrutiny: the evidence that the entire Trump-Russian collusion narrative was a partisan effort, first, to undermine the Trump presidential
Ten days after dozens of migrants were rescued in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya, the island nation of Malta announced a deal to distribute them to new homes. The 64 migrants, who were picked up April 3, will be distributed among France, Germany, Portugal and Luxembourg. They were transferred to the Maltese army boats and brought into Valletta’s port on Saturday, reported The Associated Press. But Malta said the German aid ship, Alan Kurdi, would not be allowed to enter the nation’s ports nor would any of the migrants remain permanently in the country.
Wellwishers have donated more than $300,000 to the family of a five-year-old boy who suffered life-threatening injuries when he was thrown off a third-floor balcony in the Mall of America by a stranger. The boy, Landen Hoffmann of Woodbury, Minnesota, was tossed from the balcony on Friday and police have arrested the man they believe is responsible. Landen´s cousin, April Hoffmann, posted a tribute to the boy on her Instagram page on Saturday. ‘Please pray for my cousins beautiful son Landen,’ she wrote. ‘A monster of a man threw him from a 3rd floor balcony at the mall,
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is unimpressed with Senate Democrats’ attempts to apply religious tests to Roman Catholic judicial nominees.That Thomas is saying anything at all on the subject is notable given his reputation for being tight-lipped.“I thought we got away from religious tests,” Thomas remarked this year during Pepperdine University School of Law’s annual banquet. He was referring to Article VI of the Constitution, which states that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” Thomas’ comments, which were flagged first by the Daily Caller, came in

A decision to affix an American flag graphic to the side of freshly painted Laguna Beach police cars is dividing residents who are alternately praising the image as patriotic or panning it as too aggressive.

Despite a billion dollars´ worth of negative press to destroy Trump before he was elected — over 500,000 lying articles claiming that Trump colluded with Russia and the Deep State´s $30-million illegal investigation, Trump has miraculously survived.

Less than a month ago, conservative Judge Brian Hagedorn was a dead man walking. As he raced against liberal Judge Lisa Neubauer for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the local press portrayed him as an anti-gay extremist and bigot. They called out the Christian school he founded for its code of conduct stipulating “no sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman.” Never mind that this code of conduct is common practice at private religious schools across the country.

The world´s largest aeroplane by wingspan has taken flight for the first time. Built by Stratolaunch, the company set up by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2011, the aircraft is designed to act as a flying launch pad for satellites.

In 2018, the Federal Trade Commission received more than 21,000 reports about online romance scams, totaling $143 million in losses. As the number of dating sites and social media apps has gone up, so too has the number of romance scams reported — from 17,000 in 2017, 11,000 in 2016, and 8,500 in 2015. Last year, the median loss reported was $2,600, which is seven times higher than the median loss for other forms of fraud tracked by the FTC. Most affected are people over the age of 70, for whom the median loss rose to $10,000.

Donald Trump is living in their heads, rent-free. It’s not the main reason we elected him, but it’s certainly a major side benefit — the president’s uncanny ability to troll these sanctimonious trust-funded PC frauds to the point of incoherence, if not insanity. Now he is threatening to flood the Democrats’ “sanctuary” cities with tens of thousands more indigent, indolent, diseased, criminal, nonEnglish-speaking illegal immigrants. As he pointed out Friday at the White House, the Beautiful People in places like California are always lecturing the rest of us about how we must welcome these parasites with “open arms.” So wouldn’t you assume
Washington Last week, federal prosecutors released a 61-page indictment against attorney Michael Avenatti, who allegedly bilked his own clients to bankroll his lavish lifestyle. Last month, federal prosecutors in New York charged him with trying to extort millions from Nike. Avenatti says he is not guilty, and he is entitled to a presumption of innocence on criminal charges. Still, his rise and fall presents an apt moment to ask how such a feral figure was so quickly elevated in the public eye, before what seems to be an inevitable fall. It’s not a long story.
Ecuador blew through nearly a million dollars a year hosting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at its embassy in London, officials revealed Saturday. The country shelled out a total of $6.5 million on behalf of Assange, who went into hiding there in August 2012 but was dragged out and arrested on Thursday. The 47-year-old asylum seeker was reportedly abusive toward the embassy staff, ate with his fingers, infrequently bathed or did laundry — and even smeared feces on the walls. Most of that $6.5 million was spent on security, according to the Daily Mail. The rest was used
The death of Vince Foster, a close associate of the Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Hillary’s law partner in Arkansas, sparked lots of speculation by detractors of the Clintons.

Starr’s predecessor in the job, Robert Fiske, had already looked into it. Fiske concluded that Foster did, in fact, commit suicide. He found that Foster

The man was at least 50 years old, park officials said. The man was trying to take a photo
President Trump’s shrewd governance, along with unforced errors by the Democratic Party, has the president positioned to not only win the White House for a second term but also to win back the House and make gains in the Senate.
