I can’t believe how blatantly Democrats are baiting Trump to go all-in on this issue and how he’s actually taking the bait. Yesterday Pelosi sent around a letter calling for statutes of Confederate figures in the Capitol to be removed. The day before that, Elizabeth Warren announced that she’d use her position on the Senate

Michael Brendan Dougherty asks, “Is there a reluctance to acknowledge that Donald Trump is a serious underdog for reelection?” It depends whom you ask, of course: Most liberal or progressive Trump critics are pretty stridently certain by now that Joe Biden will win in November.

The View continued boosting Joe Biden’s presidential campaign this week by having on another guest from his VP shortlist on Thursday’s show.

I somehow missed the Fifth Circuit ruling a week ago (in Texas Democratic Party v. Abbott) that overturned a flamboyant district-court order that would have required Texas officials to allow mail-in voting by any voter who claims disability because of lack of immunity from or fear of contracting coronavirus. In his majority opinion, Judge Jerry

Only days after telling CBS News that George Floyd and ex-Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin “bumped heads” while working overlapping shifts at a nightclub and knew each other “pretty well,” former employee David Pinney is retracting his story.

Facebook’s third party fact-checkers, selected by the liberal Poynter Institute, have officially labeled World Health Organization’s (WHO) statement about asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 as “misleading.” Ironically, in April, Facebook used the WHO to disprove myths about COVID-19.

(Natural News) After left-wing terrorists seized six city blocks of downtown Seattle, declaring it an “autonomous zone” that defies all the laws of Washington State and the United States of America, the power vacuum didn’t last very long.

The so-called “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” is a roughly seven-block section of Seattle, Washington where radical Black Lives Matter protesters along with Antifa have essentially declared their own country.

As antifa militants have taken over six blocks of Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, calling it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or the “People’s Republic of Capitol Hill,” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has refused to act, and Gov.

A tweet by The Hill earlier today described this as his first “post-coronavirus” rally, which grossly misstates the reality but perfectly states the mentality of many Americans. COVID is over.
