WaPo Publishes Piece On Kathy Tran That Reads Like A Campaign Brochure

Posted by Stacey Matthews on February 01, 2019 21 Comments

Kathy Tran desperately needed some good PR Thursday in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding her radical abortion law proposal, and when a Twitter post of hers failed to persuade people, a familiar Democrat-friendly source swooped in to try and save the day. The Virginia Democratic Delegate reactivated her Twitter account Thursday morning to address the "misinformation" being spread about "The Repeal Act", which would significantly loosen restrictions on third trimester abortions and make access to them much easier:

Posted by Cameron Gray on February 01, 2019 16 Comments

The MSM continues its silence on the growing attacks on Jews in Brooklyn. Even with video, these attacks mostly remain a local New York City story. Even the local NYC media doesn't cover attack, which leaves it up to the Jewish media. I tweeted about one such story on January 15th.

Confirmed Again: “Survey reveals clear link between BDS and Jew-hate”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2019 8 Comments

There is a growing recognition that the so-called Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel is just a new form of the oldest hate, antisemitism. We have documented here many times how BDS has a direct connection to the anti-Jewish boycotts in the 1920s and 1930s in the then British Mandate for Palestine, the anti-Jewish boycott of the Arab League (which was put in place three years prior to Israeli's independence), and the gross antisemitic activism at the 2001 Tehran and Durban conferences which launched boycotts in the current form.

FEAR: Democrats, Media, Never-Trumpers Continue to Pile On Howard Schultz

Posted by Mike LaChance on January 31, 2019 41 Comments

For two solid years, Democrats and their media allies have called Trump a threat to Democracy.

Kamala Harris was for eliminating private health insurance, before she was against it, before she was for it again

Posted by Mary Chastain on January 30, 2019 18 Comments

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) came under a lot of heat during her CNN townhall when she said she wanted to eliminate private health insurance. Despite the backlash she received for her comments, Harris's press secretary Ian Sams attempted to clarify that she still believes in Medicare-for-All, which would also eliminate private insurance... political doublespeak at its finest.
