On Monday, CNN advertised a new site that would be available for millennials to complain how their lives were harder than their parents. CNN tweeted, “Are you a millennial who feels like it’s harder to get ahead than it was for your parents? The data shows you’re not alone. Tell us your story at MillennialStories@cnn.com.” (Tweet) As journalist Jesse Singal has pointed out, there are two views of just which age group constitutes millennials. Singal noted, “I was born in 1983, which means I’m part of the generation, whether one uses the Census Bureau’s definition (born 1982-2000) or Pew’s (about 1981-1997).”
Trump spent Monday evening honoring top military leaders at a White House dinner after a day of defending his move to pull troops out of northern Syria.Following a briefing with military officers and top administration officials, the group retired to the Blue Room, where the president and first lady often hosts guests for private dinners.Among those on the guest list included Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Commandant of the Coast Guard General Karl Schultz and Commandant of the Marine Corps General David Berger.'We're going to have a meeting now and then we're going to the White House and we're going
Rod Rosenstein, formerly the deputy attorney general, is a key figure in enabling, at a minimum, the Deep State’s seditious attacks on President Trump.
More proof is in new documents uncovered by a Judicial Watch lawsuit. Specifically, we forced the release of 145 pages of Rosenstein’s communications that include a one-line email from Rosenstein to Mueller stating, “The boss and his staff do not know about our discussions.” They also include “off the record” emails with major media outlets around the date of Mueller’s appointment.
The vagrant charged in Saturday’s Chinatown homeless massacre was roaming the streets because a nonprofit group posted his bail while he was jailed for allegedly groping a young woman, The Post has learned. The get-out-of-jail-free card was one of two big breaks that Randy Santos, 24, scored this year—a Brooklyn judge also let him slide on a potential yearlong jail sentence after he defied a deal he cut on a turnstile-jumping charge.(Snip) But in both earlier cases, Santos repaid the compassion he was shown by failing to appear in court or ignoring a judge’s order,
Democrat presidential hopeful and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro escorted a group of migrants to the United States-Mexico border, but they were all returned to Mexico.
On Monday, Castro traveled to the Brownsville, Texas, region of the southern border where he escorted 13 migrants in Mexico to U.S. Border Patrol agents in an effort to get them released into the interior of the country while their asylum claims were adjudicated.
(Snip)confirmed that all the migrants escorted to the border by Castro were returned to Mexico as part of President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. Castro said the migrants identify as “members of the LGTBQ community”
Fox News host Tucker Carlson dug up a time when former President Bill Clinton asked then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair to help resolve an ongoing airport dispute between British Airways and American air carriers. Carlson began the Monday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” segment by observing the media’s use of the word “unprecedented” to describe President Donald Trump’s call to Ukraine’s prime minister.“Well, turns out it’s happened before,” he said.WATCH: (Video) “Back in 2000, we can report, President Bill Clinton had a conversation with Tony Blair of the U.K. and asked him

House Democrats consider masking

allies in Congress replies
House Democrats are weighing extraordinary steps to secure testimony from a whistleblower whose complaint prompted their impeachment inquiry, masking his identity to prevent President Trump’s congressional allies from exposing the individual, according to three officials familiar with the deliberations.
The steps under consideration include having the whistleblower testify from a remote location and obscuring the individual’s appearance and voice, these officials said.
The efforts reflect Democrats’ deepening distrust of their GOP colleagues, whom they see as fully invested in defending a president who has attacked the whistleblower’s credibility and demanded absolute loyalty from Republicans.
House Democrats are considering hiding the Deep State CIA officer’s identity by holding his testimony in a remote location.The Washington Post reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the discussions, that Democrats are going to go to great lengths to conceal the ‘whistleblower’s’ identity by holding his testimony in a remote location and even changing his physical appearance and voice.The Democrats also want to bar GOP lawmakers from questioning the whistleblower and only allow staffers to question him outside of the Capitol.The meetings outside of Capitol Hill could take place
Londoners are in for a second day of travel misery today after the Extinction Rebellion protesters camped overnight blocking roads and bridges. The leftie group pitched tents and set up camp just yards away from Boris Johnson’s front door at No10 as he branded them “uncooperative crusties and protesters”. Extinction Rebellion says the protests could be as much as five times bigger than those held in April, which brought major disruption to London and saw more than 1,100 arrests. Around 30,000 activists are expected to try and grind the city over the next fortnight in a move that will stop
President Donald Trump reminded Americans that troops were still dying in the Middle East, opening up on Monday about his letters to parents of slain soldiers.“I have to sign letters often to parents of young soldiers that were killed and it’s the hardest thing I have to do in this job,” Trump said. “I hate it. I hate it.”Trump spoke about the process after presiding over a signing event for the new United States and Japan trade deal at the White House.“We make each letter different, each person is different, and we make them personal but no matter what you do it’s devastating,” Trump said.
WASHINGTON – The Trump campaign Monday credited Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo for creating a smoother path for his reelection.The campaign touted election changes in 37 states that will allow President Trump to have his preferred delegates seated at the Republican National Convention in 2020. The campaign mentioned a change in a New York law twice as an example of good news for Team Trump.“New York is a big one,” a Trump campaign official told reporters. “Governor Cuomo signed into law Senate Bill 6374, which eliminated congressional district caucuses on the Republican side and implemented a campaign-submitted slate as the method of delegate selection.”
Why would Republican appear on the "mainstream" Sunday shows? You could wonder after Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) was disgusted by moderator Chuck Todd's "very biased opening" segment on Meet the Press, and Todd openly fought with him and wouldn't let him finish a point as Johnson tried to tell him what he should ask John Brennan later in the show. Brennan received gooey sympathy. Todd moaned and groaned and then said “I have no idea why Fox News conspiracy propaganda stuff is popping up on here. I have no idea why we’re going here." When Johnson said this is why people hate the media, "This is not about the media!
The idea that more and more black Americans are joining with conservative leaders in support of President Donald Trump leaves the left in a conundrum.Do they subject these African-Americans to the prescribed Alinsky tactic of ridicule, running the risk of being held to the same impossible standard they hold the right to in being tagged racist for their criticism?Which is where liberal minorities like Soledad O’Brien come into play, although she saw the tables quickly turned on her over the weekend in the unpredictable world of social media.The fired CNN anchor responded to a tweet from Isaiah Washington — one of Hollywood’s few outspoken conservatives
Sweden's king has removed five of his grandchildren from the royal house.
The decision by King Carl XVI Gustaf means the children no longer have the title of royal highness and are not expected to perform official royal duties.
They will remain members of the royal family and retain their titles of dukes and duchesses.
The change has not affected the king's two grandchildren who are in direct line to the throne.
Observers say the move reflects a wider view that there is no need to pay so many members of the royal family for official duties.

Last week the Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, testified behind closed doors to congress. Atkinson testified about his role in bringing the ‘whistle-blower’ complaint forward. The details of that testimony are now starting to surface and thankfully congress is taking a closer look at the sketchy background of Michael Atkinson. (Snip)ICIG Atkinson never reviewed the call transcript and facilitated the complaint processing despite numerous flaws. Additionally Atkinson ignored legal guidance from both the director of national intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel that highlighted Atkinson’s poor decision-making.

Childhood used to be a time of innocence. But as our culture has become more and more sexualized, children have become the casualties of adult exploitation.
The New York Times just reported that more than 45 million online photos and videos of children being sexually abused were reported by tech companies, more than double what they found the previous year.
In culture, education, and health care, American children also are increasingly targeted for sexual messages, images, and themes at younger ages. Sometimes, this is even supported by taxpayer money through government-led initiatives.
It’s amazing how a guy with zero experience in certain fields kept getting jobs in certain fields. And I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that his father was conducting foreign policy in the same places, right? But don’t ask questions, because Chuck Todd might have an aneurysm.
We’ve already heard about Hunter Biden’s lucrative dealings in Ukraine. Then there was the bribery scheme in China involving a guy under indictment. Now, we are finding out that he advised a guy headed to prison in Romania while not being registered as a foreign agent.
The second attempted coup of President Donald Trump will not end well for Democrats. Wait until the American public finds out they’ve BEEN LIED TO AGAIN by the Democrat-Media complex! That will not go over well with 2020 voters. The Democrats and their fake news media are pushing another complete hoax on the American public. They are determined to impeach the US president using unprecedented tactics while pushing a complete lie. They want President Trump impeached for daring to discuss the Biden Crime Family’s pay-for-play schemes in Russia and Ukraine? Seriously?
In his telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, President Trump requested Ukraine’s help in getting “to the bottom of” the Russian collusion narrative and the role of CrowdStrike, a private computer security company, in propagating that story. Lost in the volcanic eruption of faux outrage and condemnation aimed at the president by the Democrats and their wholly owned media subsidiary, this reference to CrowdStrike indicates that the Justice Department’s investigation of the counterintelligence operation against candidate and president-elect Trump may be hot on the trail of exposing what could well be a seminal lie that the Democratic National Committee’s computer server was hacked by Russian operatives. To understand why,
Things are about to get very interesting and very uncomfortable for NATO. President Trump has announced that Turkey is about to launch a unilateral invasion into Northern Syria… There is going to be a scramble amid many geopolitical interests. First, the announcement: [White House] – Today, President Donald J. Trump spoke with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey by telephone. Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria. The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation, and United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial “Caliphate,” will no longer be in the immediate area.

Presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said if President Trump continues his attacks against former Vice President Joe Biden with regards to Ukraine, he is going to have to go through him. Trump has accused Biden of trying to stop an investigation into the Ukrainian gas company where his son, Hunter, was a board member."Senator, if the overwhelming issue is President Trump must be defeated, do you feel you and other Democrats must be doing more to speak in one voice that Joe Biden’s family is off-limits?"

I’m weighing in this morning with a (hopefully) short column on what promises to be a chaotic week for US stocks and bonds. This week we’ll be swamped with both as the Democrats’ Impeachment-gate kabuki gets more intense and silly and as US negotiations on China trade roadblocks get underway. That means, buckle-up, stock fans. Rough road ahead. Today’s predictable morning mess is based in part on the current chapter of the ongoing Trump Impeachment-gate charade.

In tense testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) on Friday, the inspector general for federal spy agencies refused to disclose why his office backdated secret changes to key whistleblower forms and rules in the wake of an anti-Trump whistleblower complaint filed in August, sources told The Federalist.
As The Federalist reported and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) confirmed, the spy watchdog secretly changed its whistleblower forms and internal rules in September to eliminate a requirement that whistleblowers provide first-hand evidence to support any allegations of wrongdoing.

Ed Stack, the chairman and CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods, said in a new interview that his company destroyed $5 million worth of semi-automatic rifles after removing them from store shelves last year. Dick’s stopped selling AR-15s after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 but took it a step further after the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, raising the gun purchase age to 21 and banning the sale of high-capacity magazines and assault-style rifles. It was a highly controversial move that Mr. Stack said cost the company “pretty close” to $250 million.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin received a cold welcome from her constituents last week after she gave her support for an impeachment inquiry targeting President Donald Trump.Slotkin and six other freshman Democrats wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post late last month announcing support for an impeachment inquiry over Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The call prompted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to launch an official impeachment inquiry after months of pressure from her caucus.“Myself and six other members of the freshman class in Congress, all former military or former CIA, wrote a joint op-ed and came out in support of an impeachment inquiry,”
The FBI has confirmed that a senior citizen who has murdered at least 50 people is the most prolific serial killer in US history–and the law enforcement agency is turning to the public for help identifying more victims. Samuel Little, 79, has confessed to killing 93 victims–mostly women—between 1970 and 2005, the FBI said Sunday. Investigators have confirmed Little’s involvement in 50 homicides, and FBI crime analysts believe all of his confessions are credible. Many of his victims’ deaths were initially ruled overdoses or attributed to accidental or undetermined causes, and some bodies were never found, the FBI said.
In May it took one weekend for the “We Build the Wall” organization to build their first half mile of border wall near El Paso, Texas. For months the liberal media mocked “We Build the Wall” founder and organizer Brian Kolfage and his noble plan to use private donations to help build the much-needed security wall between the US and Mexico. Brian raised over $20 million in private donations from over 260,000 individuals to build a border wall on the US southern border. On Monday the group released a video of two American business owners who were crying tears of joy
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign said Monday that the president is experiencing unprecedented support and engagement after Democrats announced their impeachment inquiry. “This has the president’s supporters and also independents engaged and in the campaign and supporting President Trump in ways that they were not doing before to this level of intensity, and we have Nancy Pelosi and the impeachment inquiry to thank for that,” Trump’s campaign communications director, Tim Murtaugh, said during a call with reporters on Monday afternoon.
A woman somehow managed to get on a Delta flight without identification or a boarding pass, causing a three-hour delay in Florida over the weekend, officials said.
The airline apologized in a statement Sunday after the unidentified woman got on an Atlanta-bound flight Saturday at Orlando International Airport, sat in another person’s assigned seat and flatly refused to move, WFTV reported.
“She said very bluntly, ‘I’m not moving,’” another traveler told the station, adding that a supervisor and a pilot tried unsuccessfully to get the woman out of the 15th-row seat.
We think it’s probably time for Fox News to make some sort of formal statement that it has gone over to the dark side and joined with the rest of the Washington establishment media in serving as the Garbage Party’s propaganda division.
There are so many real stories that news division guys like Chris Wallace could be pursuing in the age of President Donald Trump — like the fact that he continues to endure an ongoing coup attempt by deep state douchebags — but instead he chooses to pretend like bullshit is real, lies are facts, and he’s some sort of super-journalist for pretending to be ‘fair and balanced.’

Where the hell are the Capitol Hill Republicans? Have you noticed how quiet they are as another Democrat/Deep State hoax is perpetrated against President Donald Trump? With the exception of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, can you name another Republican interested in the origins of the Obama/Deep State plot to overthrow a duly elected Republican president? In an unconstitutional, illegal coup no less? Why don’t turncoat Senator Mitt Romney and other sleepy Republicans hear President Trump’s wake-up call? So have Romney and those sleepy Republicans expressed much in the way of curiosity concerning the motives of a shadowy CIA “whistleblower”?

President Trump on Monday defended his decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeast Syria, saying he is keeping his pledge to get Americans out of “endless wars.” Mr. Trump was pushing back on critics from both parties, who said his move would be a recipe for disaster and put American-backed Kurdish-led fighters in danger. “I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great Military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA,” he said on Twitter.

Republicans have questioned, and continue to question, whether the Obama intelligence community used foreigners -- from Australia, Italy and the United Kingdom -- to spy on the Trump campaign. Did they outsource spying, in other words. That is part of what Connecticut Attorney General John Durham is investigating, at the request of Attorney General William Barr. But in a very sympathetic interview with former CIA Director John Brennan, NBC's Chuck Todd never asked difficult questions about the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and Brennan's possible role in it.

The White House announced late Sunday that Turkey will soon move forward with a planned military operation in northeast Syria, as U.S. troops who have been deployed and operating with Kurdish-led forces in the area began pulling back from their positions. The decision sent shockwaves through the region and Washington, with U.S. officials telling Fox News that top Pentagon officials were “completely blindsided” and “shocked” by the order to pull back hundreds of U.S. troops, a move that effectively green-lights the Turkey operation.

I can’t wrap my head around all that I’ve done to myself in the last two years, much less the “help” that some health care professionals have done to me.
Two years ago, I was a healthy, beautiful girl heading toward high school graduation. Before long, I turned into an overweight, pre-diabetic nightmare of a transgender man.
I won’t place the full blame on health care providers, because I should have known better. But they sure helped me do a lot of harm to myself—and they made a hefty buck doing it.
For those of us who can remember when our politics was more civil, when Republicans and Democrats actually seemed to respect each other and could trade control over the presidency without wild claims of illegitimacy being hurled at the incumbent, the recent behavior of Democrats is puzzling.
How can one explain the now obviously transparent “Russian Collusion Delusion,” or the more recently spiking “Trump Impeachment Fever,” particularly when this last is over the claim he sought aid from the Ukraine in exposing the corruption of former Vice President Joseph Biden?
Strangest among all the many melodramas of the last two weeks were the blaring headlines that President Trump had dared to talk with the Australian Prime Minister—and referenced the role of foreign governments and in particular Australia in U.S. electoral politics in 2016.
Given the hue and cry of Democrats in the last three years, they should have been delighted that the president was peremptorily warning foreign nations to cease to currying favor with presidential candidates and asking them to hand over what information, if any, they had of past “collusion.” In fact, they were outraged and once again returned to “collusion” charges, as if Trump were subverting the 2020 election.
Socialism, Atheism, and Abortion

Some say abortion is a 'health care' option for pregnant women. Others say it is the forced separation of soul and body of an unborn human being. In the U.S. the debate about whether abortion is good or bad for our society has become white hot with Blue State legislatures passing pro-abortion laws and Red States laws opposing abortion. The gap between pro-abortion Democrats and anti-abortion Republicans has been widening every year since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that abortion was legal in all States. The Democratic Party now uses 'support of abortion' as a no-exception litmus test to be passed by any politician wishing

The fact is, an impeachment inquiry has yet to begin. Opening such an inquiry would require a full House vote, making vulnerable representatives in districts President Trump won handily in 2016 go on record in favor of removing a duly elected president for the high crime of doing his job.
A formal impeachment inquiry also gives Republican
Politico‘s Andrew Desiderio attended six town halls in one day for swing-district Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) — and discovered that voters do not like impeachment. In fact, many support President Donald Trump’s criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden.
Casten defeated long-term incumbent Republican Peter Roskam last fall in the 6th congressional district of Illinois, in the far western suburbs of Chicago, as part of a nationwide Democratic sweep of suburban districts.
But his left-wing policies and bare-knuckle style were never a good fit — and now he is facing pushback from constituents who are upset that he is backing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the left in

Swing voters are repelled by leftist policies from healthcare to immigration that 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates have endorsed, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reveals.
MIT researcher Alexander Agadjanian published his latest research in the New York Times, where he revealed that swing voters likely are six percentage points less likely to vote for a Democrat against President Trump in the 2020 election after learning of the leftist policy positions they have embraced.
Agadjanian surveyed nearly 4,000 voters, showing half of them headlines where 2020 Democrats have endorsed decriminalizing illegal immigration, giving free healthcare to illegal aliens, ending private health insurance, and providing free college tuition for applicants.
A new poll showed that 57 percent of respondents support a Justice Department probe on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden regarding their actions in Ukraine and China.
Only 37 percent of respondents were against investigating them, according to the new poll by Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP, published on Friday.

Joe Biden’s top political donors gathered for an emergency closed-door meeting this weekend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as his campaign falls behind rivals in both funds and polling.
The New York Times was first to report the meeting on Sunday, noting the financiers were treated to a behind-the-scenes view of the campaign’s headquarters and strategy, including a private address by the former vice president.
“In a sign of the attendees’ significant financial firepower, Mr. Biden himself addressed the several dozen donors who came to the retreat on Saturday, rallying them for 45 minutes about the months ahead, people there said,” the Times reported.
Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, joined Breitbart News Sunday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel this weekend to expose the deep state: forces he said are driving the effort by Democrats to proceed with impeachment against the president.
“The attempt at impeachment is best understood as a legislative coup against a democratically elected president, and the radical leftists in Congress are working arm-in-arm with the deep state saboteurs and their allies in the media in order to try to effectuate this illegal coup,” Miller said.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) came under fire on Monday for its response to a tweet by a Houston Rockets official in support of Hong Kong protests for democracy, the latest overseas business to run afoul of political issues in China. The Rockets’ general manager, Daryl Morey, apologised on Monday for the tweet he swiftly deleted on the weekend, but his support for the protests in the Chinese-ruled city angered Beijing, Chinese fans and the team’s partners in a key NBA market. (snip) “And the #NBA, which (correctly) has no problem with players/employees criticizing our gov’t, is now apologizing for criticizing the Chinese gov’t."
The Democrats face an insurmountable obstacle in their ongoing quest to oust the president. Trump himself succinctly captured their dilemma last Friday: “Unemployment Rate, at 3.5%, drops to a 50 YEAR LOW. Wow America, lets impeach your President.” Numerous polls purport to show increased public support for impeachment, yet Trump clearly doesn’t take them seriously. He knows the voters will make the final call. If the House impeaches him, the chances of a Senate conviction are nil. Thus, the president’s fate will be decided in November 2020. Will the voters support an impeached president? If the economy remains strong, he’ll win in a landslide.
Everyone’s on drugs here . . . and stealing,” an ex-felon named Shaku explains as he rips open a blue Popsicle wrapper with his teeth. Shaku is standing in an encampment of tents, trash, and bicycles, across from San Francisco’s Glide Memorial Church. Another encampment-dweller lights a green crack pipe and passes it around. A few paces down the street, a gaunt man swipes a credit card through a series of parking meters to see if it has been reported stolen yet.
For the last three decades, San Francisco has conducted a real-life experiment in what happens when a society stops enforcing bourgeois norms of behavior.
The Los Angeles Police Department had been dispatched to the home of Nicole Brown Simpson nine times by the year that O.J. Simpson pleaded no contest to spousal abuse. Over three years passed before Nicole finally filed for divorce from the retired football star. But the cycle of abuse did not end with their marriage. Just as he had threatened, battered, and abused Nicole during their marriage, he continued to do so after their split.
O.J. had beaten his wife badly enough over the years that she wound up in the hospital, where she lied to a doctor that she'd fallen off a bike rather than expose
Nixon: Victim of a Media Riot

Sunday-
So, now it’s Sunday and as usual I went to my computer and read a few emails from old pals, asking me what Nixon was really like. I thought I’d try answering this right away.
Nixon was an ambitious young man who came from a family of modest means, to put it mildly. He was a brilliant student and more than that, he was a longsuffering high school athlete. Thought thin and not especially gifted athletically, he would throw himself into the game, get his head banged around a lot. Then he would eagerly volunteer to get into the next rough play,
This is the moment to shine for Elizabeth Warren. The crowded field of Democratic presidential candidates is suddenly being cleared for her by a combination of fate and baggage, as Joe Biden faces fallout from his Ukraine connections and Bernie Sanders deals with a heart condition.
From stem to stern, the Massachusetts senator has marketed herself as the candidate with all the issues thought out. For every major problem facing the United States, her campaign slogan says she “has a plan for that.” Warren is running on a myriad of big government programs including Medicare for all, student loan forgiveness, and free college. Her plan to pay for these lofty promises
What would it be like if a candidate didn’t accept the outcome of a presidential election? Witness Hillary Clinton.
Last week, Clinton continued her “I Was Wronged in 2016” multi-year tour, this time in support of the book she co-wrote with her daughter, Chelsea, titled “The Book of Gutsy Women.”
To prove she’s a gutsy woman, she gutsily called President Trump “illegitimate” during an appearance on “The View.” The other gutsy women who host the show didn’t push back on that accusation, and the audience of gutsy women applauded.
Los Angeles — It’s been three years since the Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump sent shock waves throughout the world.
Those events in Britain and the U.S. symbolized a broader revolt against elites by frustrated voters in other countries. The populist revolt was a reaction to elites’ reckless and anti-democratic push for ever greater integration. Many critics have tried to paint these uprisings in scary terms by branding them as rooted in racism or xenophobia. I myself part company with the more radical populist movements on some issues — especially those that want to shut down legal as well as illegal immigration.
But it’s unarguable that many
Genteel Republicans like Mitt Romney complain about Donald Trump’s unpresidential behavior but how else does he combat the dirty left?
Only a barbarian could defy the liberal establishment as he has done.
Imagine if Romney were president, trying to be dignified and patrician. They’d eat him alive. Unless, of course, he did nothing to block their agenda, in which case he’d be left alone like all the other cowardly roll-over Republicans. The American people chose a barbarian for president because they knew only a barbarian could drain the Washington swamp.
And, judging by the president’s unchanged approval ratings since House Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry, not to mention his record donation
The White House announced late Sunday that Turkey will soon move forward with its planned military operation in northeast Syria in an area where U.S. troops have been deployed and operating with Kurdish-led forces.
The U.S. will not be involved in the operation, the White House said. President Trump spoke with Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan by telephone. U.S. troops will be moved from the area.
"The United States will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the United States taxpayer," the statement read. "Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years
Oh, please be true! Mitt Romney has become an expert at lobbing bombs at President Trump from the sidelines.Now there is rumors that Mitt Romney may take on President Trump in the Republican primary. According to HotAir: Romney has re-emerged, as he does occasionally, to be the self-appointed voice of morality. He slammed President Trump’s behavior during the phone call to Ukraine’s President Zelensky as “wrong and appalling”. (Tweet) While Romney is clutching his pearls over Trump’s phone call, I haven’t seen a tweet criticizing Rep. Adam Schiff for lying about contact with the whistleblower
Last week, Trump tweeted a video that anyone with a sense of humor found hilarious. It featured a clip of the Nickelback video for their 2005 song “Photograph,” and featured a superimposed image of Joe and Hunter Biden golfing with Devon Archer, who sat on the board of Burisma Holdings with Hunter Biden. The photo proved that Joe Biden lied when he claimed he was unaware of his son’s controversial business dealings, and Trump’s tweet with the altered video perfectly captured the situation. Even PJ Media’s own Jim Treacher found it funny. Washington Post editorial writer Molly Roberts, however, did not. In fact,

How do you campaign for an election that doesn’t exist? Or lobby against policies that you’re meant to support? In late Putinism, the answer is often to do so publicly, loudly, but deniably. Politics is in the air, after all, with a sense that the country's future, so long locked behind walls of conformity and conservatism, may be up for grabs.
As I wrote in my last column, this also means debate has erupted within the elite, on everything from succession to stimulus, personalia to policy.
Perhaps the most striking expression of this was the recent interview Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu gave to the middle-brow pro-government newspaper Moskovskii
President Trump accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of treason and called for her, along with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, to be impeached.
"Nancy Pelosi knew of all of the many Shifty Adam Schiff lies and massive frauds perpetrated upon Congress and the American people, in the form of a fraudulent speech knowingly delivered as a ruthless con, and the illegal meetings with a highly partisan 'Whistleblower' & lawyer," ..."This makes Nervous Nancy every bit as guilty as Liddle’ Adam Schiff for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and even Treason. I guess that means that they, along with all of those that evilly 'Colluded' with them, must all be immediately Impeached!"
