President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign released a scathing statement accusing Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of extortion to stop Thursday's rally at Target Center. Frey voiced his opposition to Trump's rally in September. He said he would normally welcome a sitting president, but Trump's "rhetoric has made it clear that he does not value the perspectives or rights of Minneapolis' diverse communities."

President Donald Trump received major backlash on Monday morning after the White House announced late Sunday night it will remove troops in northern Syria. This will allow Turkey to start its offensive, effectively leaving the Kurds unprotected. Officials told Fox News that Trump's decision "completely blindsided" those at the Pentagon. Others said the move betrayed the Kurds because Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan does not hide his hatred of the Kurds.

When will these people learn that their ways to voice their displeasure is the only way to push people away from their cause? Protesters blocked the street outside of the Supreme Court on Sunday to mark Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's one-year anniversary. They screamed, "Impeach the motherf*cker!" before they made their way to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's house.

2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is still recovering from surgery for blocked arteries. Doctors inserted two sents into his heart, which led him to cancel events and appearances. But the medical incident once again brought the ages of the top candidates to the forefront. Will leftists stick with Sanders or will this health scare force them into the arms of another?

2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) continues to showcase her love for big government and socialist ideas. Now she has an idea she considers "the most progressive and comprehensive agenda for workers since the New Deal." Warren released her latest plan to bolster unions, which would eliminate right-to-work laws in states, $15-an-hour minimum wage, and "remake" federal courts with nominees who take a pledge to "support working people."

60 Minutes reported Sunday that the whistleblower of the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received federal protection. The news program insisted it had a letter to prove it. Mark Zaid, the lawyer representing the whistleblower, took 60 Minutes to the woodshed on Twitter over the report. He said the program "misinterpreted contents" of the letter.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this seems a little odd. Sean Davis at The Federalist reported that the intelligence community removed an important requirement when it comes to whistleblower information:
Between May 2018 and August 2019, the intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings. This raises questions about the intelligence community’s behavior regarding the August submission of a whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump. The new complaint document no longer requires potential whistleblowers who wish to have their concerns expedited to Congress to have direct, first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing that they are reporting.
