Rep. Joaquin Castro’s stunt targeting Trump donors has been downplayed by the left but the repercussions are already being felt by the Texas constituents he exposed. A woman on the Democrat’s list of San Antonio residents who have donated to President Donald Trump’s campaign revealed that she has been on the receiving end of a threatening, hate-filled voicemail.(Photo) The explicit message was shared by KTRH News Radio and contains graphic language: A woman,who was on the Donald Trump donor list that Joaquin Castro tweeted out, received a vicious voicemail calling her a racist and threatening to post her number and extension all over the internet.
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said President Trump on Friday raised $12 million at two high-dollar fundraisers in the Hamptons.The president attended two fundraisers on Friday afternoon before heading to his New Jersey golf club for a weeklong vacation. Reports had suggested the fundraisers would yield $10 million for Trump's reelection effort. One of the fundraisers was hosted by Stephen Ross, the owner of the Miami Dolphins and the chairman of The Related Companies, which owns a majority stake in SoulCycle and Equinox.
SACRAMENTO—California’s ambitious effort to automate voter registration at Department of Motor Vehicle offices produced almost 84,000 duplicate records and more than twice that number with political party mistakes, according to an audit released Friday by state officials.The analysis covered just the first five months of the new “motor voter” program, which was launched in April 2018. It found a wide array of problems with the rollout of the DMV system, including a limited amount of testing as well as inconsistent and confusing lines of communication between the state agencies involved in its creation. Many of the findings
Earlier this year, CNN irresponsibly gave positive coverage to an illegal immigrant hiding from ICE in a liberal sanctuary church in Colorado. One week ago, that same immigrant killed a father of five in a car accident, while driving recklessly without a license. As usual when these things happen, the only thing you hear from the media is crickets.According to Denver’s local ABC station, on August 2, Miguel Ramirez Valiente, from El Salvador “went off the side of the road on Hwy 83, over-corrected into the opposite lane and hit Sean Buchanan,” killing the father of five,
Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged teenage “sex slave” claims she was ordered to sleep with powerful men — including a former US senator, the former governor of New Mexico, a prominent hedge fund manager and a late longtime MIT professor.The identities of the men were revealed in some 2,000 documents unsealed Friday in Manhattan federal court related to Virginia Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.In a deposition, Giuffre, née Roberts, claimed she was trafficked to MIT professor Marvin Minsky, who died in 2016 at age 88, as well as former Maine Sen. George Mitchell, ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson
President Trump cracked jokes about the Equinox scandal, the old days of rent-controlled New York and his dealings with North and South Korea among deep-pocketed pals in the Hamptons on Friday.Trump was feted at two big-money fundraisers — first a lunch for 60 hosted by real estate guru Stephen Ross, whose company owns Equinox and Soul Cycle. Then Trump talked for an hour to a crowd of 500 at the sprawling Bridgehampton home of developer Joe Farrell. The two events raised a total of $12 million.After Equinox members revolted over Ross’ fundraising for the president, with many threatening to cancel memberships,
MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell came to the defense of 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden on Friday morning. The former vice president was facing backlash for a mistake he made the day before in Iowa.Mitchell appeared on Today Friday morning and chalked up Biden's latest mistake as coming “after a long day and night.”While speaking at a town hall for the Asian & Latino Coalition PAC in Iowa, Biden said: “The other thing we should do is we should challenge these students. We should challenge students in these schools that have advanced placement classes in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor you cannot do it."

President Donald Trump blasted Hollywood as “really terrible” and even called out the entertainment industry for being “racist.” The president condemned the violence in Hollywood blockbuster movies and the bias against conservatives as he spoke to reporters Friday outside of the White House. “Hollywood, I don’t call them the elites. I think the elites are people that go after them in many cases,” Trump said. “But Hollywood is really terrible. You talk about racist, Hollywood is racist.” “What they’re doing with the kind of movies they’re putting out is actually very dangerous
Friday marks the fifth anniversary of the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. An unarmed black teenager, he was shot and killed by Police Officer Darren Wilson, who said Brown attacked him. A grand jury later chose not to indict Wilson. Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., tells CBS News' Jeff Pegues he wants the case re-opened. Brown told Pegues he's not as angry as he once was, but it's going to be hard to revisit that moment five years ago today when he found out his son was gone. When asked what he recalls most vividly from that day
Silicon Valley doesn't consider patriotism when making decisions, billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel told "Fox & Friends" Friday morning. Instead, the big tech companies focus primarily on what will benefit themselves, Thiel said. “Silicon Valley likes to think of itself as sort of cosmopolitan or globalist, but I think that’s not actually what’s going on here,” he told “Fox & Friends.” “It is just sort of an insular form of parochialism. Maybe it’s borderline autistic, so it’s a complete incuriosity about the rest of the world.” Thiel, an early Trump supporter, has been critical of Google over its working relationship
BALTIMORE — An off-duty police sergeant shot by a masked man Thursday afternoon in northeast Baltimore is on life support at Shock Trauma. Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said Sgt. Isaac Carrington, a 22-year veteran of the BPD, was talking to a neighbor around 3:24 p.m. in the 5600 block of Summerfield Avenue. (Snip) A witness said she saw a man trying to rob Carrington, who was dressed in plain clothes. She said there was a physical struggle before she heard gunshots. "They were kicking him and then they began to shoot him repeatedly ... They began to shoot, and I
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter mocked President Trump on Friday for signaling support for negotiations in the House and Senate over stricter background checks for gun purchases in the wake of several mass shootings.
"QUIZ: Does @realDonaldTrump know less about gun laws or immigration law? WE ALREADY HAVE UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. Forcing widows to lose money selling her husband's gun to a nephew is not going to stop one gun crime," she tweeted.
President Trump took the day off from politics to meet with the first responders and victims of the Dayton and El Paso shootings. He did not allow the press corps to attend. This day is not about politics, he broadcast. And from all reports, despite a few protestors, the visits were positive. Good for the communities. Good for those that were recovering and grieving. Does Rashida Tlaib’s rhetoric inspire the protestors outside Mitch McConnell’s home? Is Elizabeth Warren responsible for the shooting in Dayton that left nine people dead?
DES MOINES — Iowa, a decade ago, humbled Joe Biden. Now it has a chance to redeem him. His last presidential race ended abruptly in 2008 after he placed fifth in the state’s crucial Democratic caucuses, garnering less than 1% of the vote in the first contest of the primary season. (Snip) Biden, with his centrist political brand, faces a special challenge here: Iowa’s caucusgoers tend to be very liberal. They nearly delivered victory to Sanders in 2016. What’s more, the state is overwhelmingly white, so it does not play to Biden’s strength among African American voters, who are a
Candace Owens, founder of the Blexit movement, told Fox News on Thursday that white supremacy isn’t what’s harming black America - it’s “liberal supremacy.” “The purpose for this is to distract black Americans from the fact that Democrat policies are actually harming the inner cities. They don’t want to talk about the illiteracy rates. They don't want to talk about what’s actually harming black America, because let me tell you, it's not white supremacy. It’s liberal supremacy,” Owens said during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
President Donald Trump on Wednesday again said he might commute the prison sentence of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. This time, the president made one motive clearer. It’s about revenge.
“I thought he was treated unbelievably unfairly; he was given close to 18 years in prison," Trump said to White House reporters aboard Air Force One, misstating Blagojevich’s 14-year sentence. "And a lot of people thought it was unfair, like a lot of other things — and it was the same gang, the Comey gang and all these sleazebags that did it.”
Comey, of course, is a reference to former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired. That firing
A young woman who says financier Jeffrey Epstein and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell kept her as a sex slave also accused a host of high-powered men of being involved in Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring, according to court records unsealed Friday.
Virginia Giuffre, who says that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to powerful people for erotic massages and sex, claimed in depositions in 2016 that Maxwell directed her to have sex with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Britain’s Prince Andrew (whom she has accused before), wealthy financier Glenn Dubin,
Video of surveillance footage posted on Facebook by the Garden Grove Police Department Thursday shows the moment a knife-wielding, "hate"-fueled convicted felon unleashed his fury on an innocent woman at an insurance office — one of the half-dozen attacks he conducted over a two-hour period on Wednesday that left four people dead and two wounded

The woman, who survived the harrowing attack, courageously fights back before the man, who has since been identified as a 33-year-old gang member with a lengthy rap sheet, flees the scene.
The police department posted footage of the attack Thursday along with the suspect's booking photos.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said the U.S. could afford universal healthcare, canceling student debt and making tuition free at public colleges— by slapping higher taxes on wealthy individuals and big companies in order to pay for it all. Addressing a room in Miami on Thursday at the annual National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention, the 2020 Democratic presidential contender elaborated on his campaign proposal to cancel federal student loans for 45 million Americans, and make public higher education free. These proposals aren’t cheap: In total, both plans would cost American taxpayers somewhere in the range of $30- 40 trillion
Wheel of Fortune Host Pat Sajak, whose hilarious and deathless tweets will soon be housed in museum of their own so they can be properly preserved for posterity, issued another one on Friday with some stern advice for Americans used to hearing every celebrity under the sun offer their well-qualified opinion on any subject. Sajak tweeted that he was nobly taking it upon himself to advise America, but he might need some time: “As you probably know, we celebrities are uniquely qualified to tell you how to live and what to think, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m working hard,
Today is a day that Andrew Breitbart would have called epic. President Trump tweets truth bomb message (Mother of all Tweets), directly into the heart of Hollywood. [Snip] NBC/Comcast/Universal produced a movie called “The Hunt”. The basic synopsis is a twisted storyline of wealthy thrill-seeking liberals taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans, “deplorables”. [Snip] Yes, President Trump has dropped a MOAT of sunlight, the mother of all tweets, directly into the heart of Hollywood.
One week the Democratic presidential candidate compares a Trump rally to the infamous Nazi rally in Nuremberg. In another he compares America itself to the Third Reich, saying,

Certainly the former congressman from El Paso deserves sympathy after the mass shooting in his hometown. But even allowing for that it is now crystal clear that Beto O’Rourke is a Nazi-obsessed, most unserious goofball. First, the president called MS-13 gang members “animals” — not “asylum seekers.” Second,
Earlier this week, ICE conducted a sweep of illegal immigrants in Mississippi, arresting nearly 700 individuals. This development has been covered as a tragic, outrageous, anguish-causing, "secretive" affront by many in the press -- with images of tearful children, who were temporarily separated from their parents, driving much of the coverage. This appeal to emotion sidesteps any serious discussion of whether the "textbook" raid was appropriate or not. Some thoughts:(1) I believe that interior immigration enforcement should (and generally does) prioritize detaining and removing illegal immigrants who have also committed violent crimes,
The New York man who says he was viciously beaten by a group of thugs last month for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, received a new MAGA hat from President Trump this week, along with a letter wishing him a speedy recovery. (Tweet) Jahangir "John" Turan, the owner of a New York City art gallery, said he was "jumped" in Manhattan on July 31 by a group of about 15 teens who yelled obscenities like “f--- Trump” while slamming his head against a post and stomping on him. He reportedly suffered a broken eye socket.
Chopper pressers are the best pressers. President Trump was leaving the White House at 9:48am for travel to New York and New Jersey when he conducted a full press conference that lasted more than 30 minutes. Topics and questions included: China and status of trade conflict, background checks, the Federal Reserve and interest rates, a new “very beautiful letter” from Kim Jong Un, the Mississippi ICE enforcement actions, Colin Kaepernick’s prospects for NFL employment and Joe Biden’s defects as a candidate.

Sen. Cory Booker (D.-N.J.) said in a speech at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. on Wednesday that bigotry was written into the founding documents of the United States and that white supremacy has “always been a part of the American story.”“Bigotry was written into our founding documents. Native Americans, in our Declaration of Independence, were referred to as savages,” Booker said. “In our Constitution, black people are fractions of human beings.(Video) “White supremacy has always been a problem in our America story,” he said. “If not always at the surface, then looking not so far beneath it.”Here is a transcript of the part of Booker’s speech
The “sister” of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter who was killed during the attack identified as a transgender guy—although his family had no idea, according to a report and some of his own social media posts. Connor Betts’ 22-year-old sibling was named by authorities as Megan Betts in the days after the mass shooting, with cops releasing a statement saying relatives had lost “a daughter.” But he apparently went by the name Jordan Cofer, and identified as a male, although he was only “out” to a small circle of friends, according to Splinter News, which spoke to several of those pals anonymously.
Freshman Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) acknowledged on Friday that Americans who support the Second Amendment should be concerned about Democrats’ calls to action in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings. (Video) “Your nervousness about what could be implemented as a whole is certainly warranted,” Crenshaw told conservative commentator Dana Loesch while appearing on her podcast. “We’re listening to the Democratic debates every week and what they’re calling for is absolutely extreme.”
A staunch supporter of the rights of immigrants—and a married father of five—was killed last week when an illegal immigrant from El Salvador facing deportation crashed into his motorcycle in Colorado. Sean Buchanan, 45, was driving northbound on Highway 83 on August 2 when Colorado State Patrol say a southbound truck operated by Miguel Ramirez Valiente went off the side of the road, then over-corrected into the wrong lane and crashed into Buchanan's bike, killing him. Valiente, an undocumented immigrant who was slated for deportation eight months earlier, was charged with misdemeanor careless driving with a revoked license
July congressional hearings reveal that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s team conducted a two-day interview in London with British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Thus beginning to unpeel the onion on DOJ abuse of powers. Steele is the author of the unsubstantiated and salacious dossier attacking President Trump, creating the Russia Hoax. The truth is coming home to roost. The facts emerging are that Steele’s anti-Trump bias was well known at or about the November 2016 presidential election. Despite the many red flags, the DOJ, including operative Bruce Ohr’s bias, the initial FISA applications did rely on the dossier. A dossier that holds no truth.
President Trump said Friday that “serious discussions are taking place” among congressional leaders about background checks to keep firearms out of the hands of “mentally ill or deranged people” — though he insisted that the views of the National Rifle Association should be taken into account. “Serious discussions are taking place between House and Senate leadership on meaningful Background Checks,” the president said on Twitter.
A made-for-TV drama about the Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal couldn’t debut at a worse possible time for Democrats — just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. FX has announced that “American Crime Story: Impeachment” will chronicle former President Bill Clinton’s encounter with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment proceedings that followed. The release date, Sept. 27, 2020 — could be a political pain for Democrats. Election Day is on Nov. 3. “Timing is everything and the timing they chose couldn’t be worse for the Democrats,” said political consultant Hank Sheinkopf, whose clients have included Clinton and former Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “It’ll be a great day for Donald Trump.”
AUBURNDALE (CBSMiami) — A Florida woman says an alligator ate her 100-pound dog.
Cynthia Robinson told investigators in Auburndale, located in Polk County near Lakeland, that she was walking her 6-year-old dog, Tank, by a retention pond on Thursday when the gator attacked.
Robinson says she took her dog off his leash to sit on a bench and the dog was running in and out of the water when the gator snatched it.
FERGUSON, Missouri—Four years ago, I moved from Saudi Arabia, where I had worked for six years, back to my hometown of St. Louis, from which I had departed almost four decades earlier. One of the first social events I attended included an academic researcher who was tossing around the word “Ferguson.” I was looking forward to hearing from people who really knew the local scene.
This was exactly one year after riots and unrest had gripped the suburban St. Louis town, drawing extravagant attention from the national and global media. It had been daily front-page news, even in Mecca, Medina, and Riyadh.
Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Trump, takes aim at Google over its work in China. Gorka told FBN host Lou Dobbs that Google sees America as the problem and like to help nations that are against U.S. interests.
Gorka said according to Chris Farrow at Judicial Watch he can predict that high-level Obama-era DOJ officials like Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr will be charged with serious felonies.
"There will be people in high levels of the Obama administration who will be charged with very serious felonies to do with their seditious activity,” (Snip) a good prosecutor does not after the low-hanging fruit.
WASHINGTON — Somewhere out there, the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lurks. So wary House Democrats are amassing campaign war chests to scare off progressive upstarts from challenging them in primaries — or trounce them if they try.
A look at 41 incumbent House Democrats who face potential 2020 party primary opponents shows 16 have already stockpiled over $1 million in campaign funds. The figures from Federal Election Commission reports for the first six months of this year show that 20 raised over $500,000 during that period alone.
That’s not stopping challengers from targeting powerful committee chairmen and other well-financed incumbents, though the hurdles they face are clear.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said in an interview with CNN Thursday that “formal impeachment proceedings” are underway, prompting GOP Rep. Doug Collins to call him out for being off the mark.
“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “We are investigating all the evidence, gathering the evidence. And we will [at the] conclusion of this — hopefully by the end of the year — vote articles of impeachment to the House floor. Or we won’t. That’s a decision that we’ll have to make. But that’s exactly the process we’re in right now.” (tweet) Nadler's comments come after House Judiciary Democrats last month
A. Marie Villafaña, the lead federal prosecutor who helped negotiate a controversial plea deal for accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has submitted her resignation to the Justice Department, the Miami Herald has learned.
Her departure comes amid a federal probe into the role she and other federal prosecutors, including her former boss, Alexander Acosta, had in sidelining a 53-page indictment against the wealthy New York investor in favor of a state plea to minor prostitution charges in 2008. Epstein, 66, was accused of molesting dozens of underage girls, most of them 14 to 16 years old, at his Palm Beach mansion more than a decade ago.
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on Thursday that calls for letting agricultural land return to the wilderness and for people to eat more plants and fewer animals.
The report reiterates the globalist organization’s claim that man’s use of natural resources to improve people’s lives around the world is making “global warming” worse and will make food more scarce, more expensive, and less nutritional.
“The cycle is accelerating,” NASA climate scientist Cynthia Rosenzweig, a co-author of the report, said in an Associated Press report. “The threat of climate change affecting people’s food on their dinner table is increasing.”

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” network regular and Above the Law executive editor Elie Mystal called for aggressive protesting outside of the home of Stephen Ross, the owner of SoulCycle and the Miami Dolphins, for holding a fundraiser for President Donald Trump.
Mystal said acknowledged the Hamptons were “very nice,” but indicated it didn’t have to be.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is blasting new revelations that the FBI continued to use the golden showers dossier developed by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to renew warrants to monitor a member of Donald Trump's circle. The South Carolina Republican called new documents about Justice Department official Bruce Ohr's contact with Steele 'the tip of the ice berg,' adding: 'I know personally there's a lot more out there.' Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, blasted the information, which he claimed showed bias in the Justice Department as it began the Russia investigation.
The press is having a field day exploiting children to attack President Trump and his effort to re-establish rule of law in immigration.
Tossing all previous compunction about showing a child's face on national television out the window, they put the cameras right in a little girl's face to get her to talk and cry about a recent immigration raid in Mississippi. No blue dot for her over this little girl's face, they went full frontal instead, as if a child that young were capable of giving consent. Now the video will follow the girl all her life, and will likely end up a topic for mocking memes,

While President Donald Trump is an ideal scapegoat for leftist hatred and demagoguery, the left's ultimate goal is to permanently reduce conservatism and the Republican Party to minority status by indelibly associating them with racism.
Listen to what the Democratic presidential candidates and other Democrats are saying. If you support border enforcement, you are a racist. If you support Trump, who pushes border enforcement, you are a racist. If you don't condemn Trump for being a white supremacist, which he is not, you are a white supremacist.

If dissident rightists spend more time criticizing the official right than criticizing the left, it’s because we know there can’t be a real right in this country if conservatives constantly play by the left’s terms, yield to its ignorant criticism, and espouse left-wing views under the name of conservatism (neoconservatism; the Straussian schools). That the left is an enemy goes without saying. It goes without saying, too, that the left will continue to win the culture war unless the right gets serious about fighting it.The latest evidence of the futility of the struggle so far is the official right’s inane responses to mass shootings,

House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nalder, D-N.Y., continues to play a game of semantics when it comes to his partisan effort to impeach President Donald Trump.
Having been bumped from the headlines this week by the liberal media’s rabid ploy to blame the president for a pair of shootings last weekend, Nadler appeared on CNN to find his way back onto the front page, claiming his committee has begun “formal impeachment proceedings.”CNN anchor Erin Burnett asked Nadler about an impeachment inquiry and he tossed an impressive word salad as recounting his witch hunt, which is effectively a rehash of the two year, $35 million-plus Robert Mueller probe
President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani appears on Fox News with reaction to the release of information contained within the FBI investigative notes of DOJ official Bruce Ohr.

As expected, Democrats and fake news media were despicably giddy, thrilled for another opportunity to push for disarming law-abiding gun owners and falsely demonizing Trump and his supporters. I boycotted media because was I could not stomach wimpy Republicans and #NeverTrumpers running to microphones to surrender to anti-American leftists' spin of the facts. I thought, “I am not going to allow cowards supposedly on our side to raise my blood pressure.”A case in point is John Kasich, who raced to the CNN microphones to further the insidious lie that Trump is responsible for the shootings.
The woman who says she was just 15 when pedophile Jeffrey Epstein forcibly raped her asked a Manhattan court on Thursday to make Epstein reveal the identity of the woman who “recruited” her into the multi-millionaire’s alleged harem of underage women.
Jennifer Araoz, who claims Epstein raped and sexually abused her in his Upper East Side mansion, says in a draft lawsuit that she was recruited for the abuse by an unknown woman outside of her Manhattan school.
A majority of Pennsylvania’s working class voters want to see President Donald Trump reelected in 2020, according to new poll out of the state.
A poll released by Franklin & Marshall College on Thursday indicates that 51 percent of Pennsylvania voters with a high school degree or less believe Trump deserves a second term. Conducted between July 29 and August 4 by surveying 627 registered voters, the poll is good news for the president’s reelection chances.
Joy Ryan, 89, lived a humble life in Duncan Falls, Ohio, "a small two-traffic light town," said her grandson Brad Ryan. She had left the state before, but hadn't seen much when she did.
Ryan told CBS News that every winter, his grandparents would travel from Ohio to Okatibbee Lake in Central Florida — meaning they'd drive through the middle of America and avoid the coasts. "I don't know why they never went to the coast. I asked her this, but I never found out," Ryan said.
Not only had Joy avoided seeing an ocean her whole life, Ryan said she never saw mountains
Anyone who has followed the news from college campuses over the past few years knows they are experiencing forms of unrest unseen since the late 1960s.
Now, as then, campuses have become an arena for political combat. Now, as then, race is a central issue. Now, as then, students rail against an unpopular president and an ostensibly rigged system. Now, as then, liberal professors are being bullied, denounced, demoted, threatened, sued and sometimes even assaulted by radical students.
But there are some important differences, too.
It’s hard to wade through all the references to hxrstory and womxn and misogynoir and cisheteropatriarchy.
We have no objection to a course that broadens students’ thinking about race and gender and sexuality and history and power. But too often the proposed ethnic studies curriculum feels like an exercise in groupthink, designed to proselytize and inculcate more than to inform and open minds. It talks about critical thinking but usually offers one side and one side only.
On Sunday, CNN's Jake Tapper suggested that Palestinian leaders "validate" hatred toward Israel while discussing the tone of American leaders following the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, which, according to authorities, a suspected white supremacist perpetrated. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), a Palestinian-American, took offense to Tapper's comment. "Comparing Palestinian human rights advocates to terrorist white nationalists is fundamentally a lie," she tweeted the next day. "Palestinians want equality, human dignity & to stop the imprisonment of children.
Vice President Biden is way off base, in our view, with his suggestion that President Trump has more in common with George Wallace than George Washington. The Democratic primary front-runner unleashed that libel in a speech Wednesday at Iowa. We’re not intending to defend Mr. Trump’s own errors. Mr. Biden, though, leaves out a lot, starting with the fact that George Wallace was a Democrat.
That was in the era when all too many Democrats were defending Jim Crow. One would think that Mr. Biden would have at least acknowledged that fact.
Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who compiled the salacious anti-Trump dossier that sparked the Russia investigation, feared Congressional inquiries, according to new documents released Thursday night.
The surprising revelation was the most interesting detail among the 34 pages of FBI agent interview notes with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Known as 302s, the notes document FBI agents’ interviews with Mr. Ohr.
In May 2017, Mr. Ohr told the agents Mr. Steele was “worried” about the upcoming Senate testimony of then-FBI Director James Comey. The 302s do not indicate specifically what he feared Mr. Comey might say, but he was especially concerned about questions
Oil and Venezuela

Having become somewhat of a Chevron news junkie since covering the failed plot by scammers — Steven Donziger is now being formally investigated by the feds for his brazen criminal-RICO scheme — to cow the oil giant into becoming the Green Left’s ATM machine, your humble correspondent couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow over the news (well articulated and analyzed today by Steve Moore in a piece for Fox Business) that it, and any U.S. energy company operating in Venezuela, might be forced to leave the country and stop operations there.
So far, under its recent sanctions — which the Trump administration has announced will be intensified in hopes
August 9 is the 45th anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon, the only president in American history to resign or be removed from office. We know what triggered his resignation. He was already on the ropes after two and a half years of Watergate revelations, but what ended any and all defense was the release of the “smoking gun” transcript on August 5. It showed that Nixon had concurred with his staff’s suggestion that they get the CIA to tell the FBI not to interview two Watergate witnesses.
As astonishing as it may be to Americans, who have been assured that the smoking gun tape is proof positive
Climate Solution? Trees
replies
CO2 is plant food, which is why the Earth is getting greener as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases. This is a negative feedback, since the more plant life, the more CO2 gets absorbed. Planting more trees has long been offered as a potential solution to CO2-induced global warming, and the Clear Energy Alliance notes a new study that argues planting large numbers of trees can neutralize man-made CO2 at an infinitesimal fraction of the cost of crazy, unworkable schemes like the Green New Deal.

Tell us a few details about you and we’ll guess which political party you belong to. It shouldn’t be that simple, right? We’re all complex people with a multiplicity of identities and values. But the reality is that in America today, how you answer a handful of questions is very likely to determine how you vote.
This quiz, based on recent surveys with more than 140,000 responses, presents a series of yes-or-no questions to predict whether someone is more likely to identify as a Democrat or a Republican. It captures divisions that should make you worried about the future of American democracy.
As soon as authorities said they suspected the El Paso mass shooter was the author of a hate-filled, white-supremacist online manifesto, Democrats began blaming President Trump. "He is a racist," said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., "and we've seen the consequences of it." Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said on Twitter about the president, "Your language creates a climate which emboldens extremists." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., declared that Trump was "directly responsible" for the shooting.
That is shameful. Trump is not responsible for the actions of a madman. As Democratic presidential hopeful Julián Castro, a lonely voice of reason on the left, correctly put it, "there's one person that's directly
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic primary frontrunner, made another gaffe Thursday when he told a crowd in Iowa that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
Biden, who famously directed supporters to a wrong number during last month’s debate -- and recently misidentified the sites of recent mass shootings -- quickly corrected himself after some applause from the crowd at the Asian & Latino Coalition PAC, and finished, “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”
Biden, who in 2006 drew criticism with a comment about Indian-Americans moving to Delaware, the state that Biden represented when he served in the U.S. Senate,
Boston - (Video) Just two weeks ago, hundreds of reports came in from Virginia to Vermont of a fireball streaking across the sky. This meteor was an isolated incident, but there is another show just around the corner!
The Perseid meteor shower has actually be active since July 17 but is going to peak early next week. This celestial event is a result of Earth passing through the debris field left over by the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Swift-Tuttle is a remarkable 16 miles and is considered the largest solar system object to pass Earth. It last made its pass in 1992…and won’t return for another 106 years.
