Hillary Smiles, Nods When Introduced as “The Real President”

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on October 22, 2018 38 Comments

Were almost a solid two years into Trumps presidency and a good chunk of the population is still in denial. And so is Hillary Clinton, apparently. After Eric Garner's mom was introduced to a very small gathering, Hillary was introduced. Someone shouted, "The Real President!" Hillary didn't correct or dispute the claim. Instead, she grinned widely and nodded in agreement. The small crowd laughed and cheered and Hillary nodded and smiled all the while.

Beto Campaign Sued Over Excessive Robo Texts

If you've been following the Texas Senate race, you're probably aware that Beto Campaign text messages have become a running joke. I blogged about the bizarre text messages a few months ago.

Report: Bangladeshis Intermingled With Migrant Caravan From Guatemala

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 22, 2018 31 Comments

The Daily Caller has reported that Univision correspondent Santa Anna, a reporter traveling with the migrant caravan that's moving into Mexico from Guatemala, noticed people from Bangladesh within the massive crowd of migrants:

“Yesterday when we were traveling through Guatemala, we noticed people from El Salvador and even people from Bangladesh,” he continued. “Can you imagine what they had to do to get here? They infiltrated themselves in this caravan and tried to cross with the crowd. That would have benefited them greatly.”

Bangladesh remains a hot spot for ISIS and other terrorist groups.

Palo Alto City Council Plans to Honor Christine Blasey Ford

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 22, 2018 33 Comments

On October 29, the city council of Palo Alto, CA, plans to honor Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault more than 30 years ago, for testifying in front of the Senate about the ordeal. However, the city doesn't think Ford will show up since "nobody seems to know where (Ford) is."

Most Polls Have Close Results in FL Governor, Senate Races, But CNN has Democrats Up Big

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 22, 2018 21 Comments

A CNN poll has Florida Democrats up in the gubernatorial and Senate races, but I'm really shaking my head with the governor one. Somehow the CNN poll has Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum up by 12 points over Republican nominee Ron DeSantis while other polls show Gillum with maybe a 1 point lead. Seems a little off, doesn't it?

Migrant Caravan Grows to 5,000 People, Continues Towards Border Despite Trump Threats

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 22, 2018 63 Comments

The migrant caravan from Central America continues their march to the US border despite threats from President Donald Trump with publications estimating between 5,000 and 7,000 people. As they made their way over the Suchiate River, which connects Guatemala and Mexico, the head of the local government's emergency services Gerardo Hernandez said, "You can't even walk, there's just so many people."

“Conservatives are using identity politics to destroy liberalism from within”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 21, 2018 26 Comments

One of the jokes on Twitter is how the mainstream media deflects liberal and Democrat failings by focusing on conservative and Republican reactions. Hence, headlines start with phrasing that conservatives and Republicans "pounce" or "seize on" or "slam" liberal mistakes.

“if you support Native American causes, then it’s really hard to say that you can support Elizabeth Warren”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 21, 2018 12 Comments

Over the years, I have given dozens of interviews about Elizabeth Warren's Native American deception. I appeared on October 18, 2018, on the Jeff Kuhner show on WRKO, Boston's leading talk radio station. (Audio at bottom of post.)

Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College — Trump 2016 win stoked student protests over shoplifting incident day after election

I have covered the lawsuit by Gibson's Bakery against Oberlin College perhaps more extensively than anyone else. I even became a small part of the story when Oberlin College tried, and failed, to subpoena my records.

Migrant Caravan and Midterms on Collision Course

Back in April, we covered the thousands of "migrants" who composed a caravan with the intent of gaining access (including illegal access) to the United States. Now, yet another caravan of illegal aliens is careening toward our Southern border.

Baby Trump blimp sails over Los Angeles

This July, the "Baby Trump" blimp flew in London, much to the amusement of European progressives. Showing that Los Angeles officials are óevery bit as out-of-touch with average Americans as their Euro-counterparts, the balloon just made its debut on the Left Coast by flying over the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Ocasio-Cortez: Defeating Global Warming Just Like Fighting the Nazis or Something

The left's new favorite Democratic Socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, appeared at a town hall meeting in Queens on Friday night and compared fighting global warming to defeating the Nazis in World War II. It is becoming increasingly difficult to take her seriously as a person, let alone as a candidate.

Ed Whelan theory of Christine Ford’s mistaken identification of Kavanaugh ultimately prevailed

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 20, 2018 81 Comments

Now that Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court, it's worth taking a look back at what changed the course of the fight. Democrats had thrown everything they had at Kavanaugh, including a misleadingly edited video circulated by Sen. Kamala Harris and false accusations of perjury circulated by many Democrats. None of it stuck, in part because of rapid fact response by the administration, Kavanaugh's team, and non-liberal media.

Mitch McConnell harassed again at restaurant, but other diners come to his defense

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on October 20, 2018 34 Comments

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been harassed and confronted by anti-Trump and anti-Kavanaugh protesters, including outside a restaurant, at the airport, and on the street after a Georgetown University event. This fits a pattern of attempts to intimidate Republican lawmakers and figures at the urging of Democrats such as Maxine Waters.
