During an event at The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. Thursday, outgoing Speaker of the House Paul talked about life after D.C., which will now include car shopping.

Once Upon a Time, John Kerry and Joe Biden Disapproved of Germany-Russia Pipeline

Posted by Mary Chastain on July 12, 2018 16 Comments

The left and Resistance lost their minds when President Donald Trump had the nerve to say that because of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline "Germany is captive of Russia ". Former Secretary of State John Kerry lashed out at Trump for his "disgraceful" comments. Weird...only two years ago, Kerry expressed concern over this exact same pipeline as he sat with high-level European Union officials! Former Vice President Joe Biden made similar remarks around the same time.

If modern BBC suits had a time machine, we’d never see silly walks, dead parrots or limbless knights. An executive for the British Broadcasting Company recently said the new comedy mission had little room for “six Oxbridge white blokes.”

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on July 11, 2018 17 Comments

Democrat Senate Candidate Rep. Beto O'Rourke might be a hit among the Lone Star State's recent liberal transplants, but jumping a plane to L.A. for a Hollywood fundraising gig is not a good look. And yet... Monday, Variety reported that Rep. O'Rourke was in L.A. "at the home of actress Nancy Stephens and director-producer Rick Rosenthal for an evening reception."

Yesterday I blogged on the latest Axios poll on a few Senate races, which show that the Democrats face losing seats in the chamber. The opposite has happened in House races as The Cook Political Report changed ratings in 10 races and seven of those moves favor the Democrats. The publication's monthly review also revealed that Democrats have a slight edge to win the 23 states they need to take over the House.

Kavanaugh Derangement Syndrome Exploits Civics Ignorance

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on July 11, 2018 28 Comments

The world is ending, Armageddon is nigh, and it's all because Judge Kavanaugh was nominated to take Justice Kennedy's place on the Supreme Court. Progressives are actively exploiting civics ignorance to ~~raise money~~ oppose Kavanaugh's nomination. In almost every instance where abortion and Roe v. Wade are mentioned, it's supposed that Kavanaugh HIMSELF will overturn Roe and all the poor women will die in back-alley abortions.

Is This a Joke? Beto O’Rourke’s Campaign Keeps Texting Republican Activists Asking for Support

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on July 10, 2018 47 Comments

This is a lesson in buying bad data, one that's at least mildly humorous. Sen. Cruz's Democrat challenger, Rep. Beto O'Rourke, keeps texting right-leaning individuals who are politically active asking for their help. Not Rep. O'Rourke personally, of course, but his campaign.
