Democrats can’t beat President Trump in the general election in November 2020 if they are not willing to go low, to play dirty, says HBO show host Bill Maher. To hear Maher talk, you’d think the Democrats are not already doing just that. Maher spent some time laying out his case to the Democrats by

Rashida Tlaib attended a campaign rally for Bernie Sanders in Clive, Iowa Friday night. She participated in a panel discussion that included her sister squad members Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Omar. During their discussion, Hillary Clinton’s name came up and Tlaib took the opportunity to boo her from the stage. The panel moderator, Dionna

Michael Bloomberg has no intention of letting President Trump dominate the political side of Super Bowl ads this year. The two candidates have spent at least $10 million each on commercials during the Super Bowl, which expects about 100 million viewers (the year’s largest TV audience) when it airs on Fox tomorrow evening. 30-second spots

Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at an event called the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit in Utah. I don’t want to overstate what he said but what I heard was a defiant rejection of demands from the woke left that he censor an ever-expanding list of content. The appearance didn’t start off smoothly. Zuckerberg

C’mon. What better surrogate is there for a politician than the family dog? Especially if that dog is friendly and adorable, who wouldn’t want to walk over and say hello? Bailey, the family dog in Elizabeth Warren’s home, is on the ground in Iowa campaigning for her while she is tied up in Washington, D.C.

Trumpers are going to read that headline and respond, “YES, AND HE ALWAYS WAS,” but I don’t think that’s true. There’s too much for him to lose and too little to gain by casting a vote to remove that’s functionally meaningless to make this an easy call for him. He has almost five full years

Tuesday a New York base Antifa group released a video in which three masked people announce an event called F*** the Police 3 to be held today. The basic goal seems to be protesting the existence of subway fares by jumping and vandalizing turnstiles. The group is also protesting the MTA police who enforce the

It’s not over yet … but it’s getting closer and closer to over with this press release e-mailed from the office of retiring Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN). After a late-night session closed out the question session of the trial of Donald Trump, Alexander declared he’d heard and seen enough: “I worked with other senators to

This afternoon Elizabeth Warren decided to go full Leeroy Jenkins and toss a rhetorical bomb at Chief Justice John Roberts. She dragged the rest of the Supreme Court and the constitution in for good measure. Chief Justice Roberts read her question: “At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does

Former CIA Director John Brennan is an unabashed member of The Resistance. He and the rest of the Trump-hating left are bitterly clinging to the hope that a miracle will occur in the impeachment trial. Nothing short of a vote in the Senate to affirm that the president is guilty of the charges before them

Who can deny the value of laughter over a crazy video going viral in social media during the days of impeachment, impeachment, impeachment? Tuesday several videos delivered on a welcome distraction from daily political discourse. Michael Bloomberg provided the most entertainment. If he continues like this, he will be a strong contender for Joe Biden’s

Goooood question. I can think of a guy who spent a lot of time around Trump in foreign-policy contexts in 2018 and 2019, where this exact subject might reasonably have come up, who might have something to say about it. Several guys, actually. Will any of them be called to the stand to shed some

Looks like Pam Bondi made one convert. As the question of witnesses continues to percolate in the Senate Republican caucus, centrist Democrat Joe Manchin continues to believe that the trial should include testimony from all “relevant” witnesses. And when Manchin says “all,” he really means “all,” to the apparent surprise of Morning Joe’s Willie Geist

In just six short days Iowa will hold its Democrat caucuses. Time flies when you’re having fun, right? Pete Buttigieg has experienced being at the top of the polls as well as in spots further down the polls. As I write this Tuesday morning, according to Real Clear Politics, Mayor Pete is in third place

To judiciously quote the well-known philosopher Jules Winnfield, “ain’t the same [expletive] ballpark, it ain’t the same league, it ain’t even the same [expletive] sport.” Well, it’s the same sport, but that’s always been true when comparing Fox News to MSNBC, and more recently to CNN, too. Same sport, wildly different teams and leagues, which is one

If Team Trump has to shrug off the quid pro quo denial after John Bolton’s memoir, they’d better make sure the quid had some value beyond Donald Trump’s political future. To that end, Pam Bondi made an argument that Trump had plenty of reason to suspect that both Joe and Hunter Biden had participated in a corrupt

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is popping up a little more frequently these days, given the 24/7 coverage of all things impeachment on cable news channels. She appeared on Fox and Friends Monday morning and addressed the upcoming book written by John Bolton. She was asked about Bolton’s manuscript leaks coming from the Washington

Twenty-four hours ago, it seemed highly likely that the eventual vote to call witnesses would fail 51/49, with only Romney and Collins joining the Democrats. Close but no cigar for Schumer. No need for either side to have a witness list in that case. Twenty-four hours later, things look different. There’s no mystery whom Team

It’s not clear from this short clip whether he’s guessing how Collins, Murkowski, and the rest will feel about last night’s news or whether he’s actually spoken to anyone about it. But a Politico reporter claims Romney said he has chatted about it with others. And Susan Collins told Yahoo News on her way into

It’s been almost a year since demonstrators took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest the now-pulled Extradition Bill. Police beatings, riots, political arrests, student walk-outs, and property damage have all followed with the government in Hong Kong and China attempting to portray everything as a one-off with very little public support. Reality is

The City of Brotherly Love has been a lot less loving over the past year or more, particularly out in the streets. While still coming nowhere near the disastrous conditions in Baltimore and Chicago, Philadelphia has seen a spike in violent crime after experiencing more than a decade of steady declines in violence. This has

We know that President Obama was no fan of Donald Trump when he received the GOP nomination to run for president in 2016. Something we didn’t know is that Barack Obama described Donald Trump as a fascist in a phone call to Tim Kaine in the lead-up to the 2016 election. I don’t think we’ve

Some powerful figures on the left appear eager to spread the word that Facebook intends to swing the outcome of the 2020 election in Trump’s favor. Speaking at an event in Davos this Thursday, George Soros said, “Facebook will work together to re-elect Trump, and Trump will work to protect Facebook so that this situation

Oh, dear. This isn’t going to go over well at all and somebody may be losing their key to the executive all-gender bathroom at the next Executive Woke Staff meeting. Over at National Review, Madeleine Kearns unearths a story out of Great Britain, where science teacher and a transgender activist Debbie Hayton has gone public

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Michelle Carter, the “worst girlfriend ever,” seeking to overturn her manslaughter conviction in the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. This meant that Carter would have to serve out the remainder of her term. As it turns out, that didn’t change much of anything in

Is the “confidant” Steve Bannon? Because it sounds like Steve Bannon. Vivid tough-guy bluster. Axe-grinding about fickle establishmentarians. Whispering on background to reporters. It has all the hallmarks. Some lefties are taking the line literally, not because there’s any actual doubt that it’s metaphorical but because it’s Friday and content is thin and “the Trump

Today the BBC and the Guardian have separately published stories identifying the leader of the white supremacist group known as The Base. Though he has gone by aliases including “Norman Spear” and “Roman Wolf” his real name is Rinaldo Nazzaro and he is currently living in Russia: A video posted online in March 2019 shows

For Senate Republicans, boredom is strategic. For American television viewers, it’s inevitable. Nothing new to see here is a pretty good PR talking point for the GOP on Day 2 of the House presentment on impeachment, and they’re mainly staying on message, The Hill reports: Republicans are bored — and they hope the American public shares

Meh. Nadler’s a tool and ineffective in his role (which is why Schiff is guiding the Democratic case, not him) but I can’t take this argument seriously given the circumstances of the trial. Turley’s right to note that Lisa Murkowski, a rare persuadable Republican, was annoyed at Nadler after his accusation on Tuesday night. This

A leftover from yesterday that’s gotten a surprising amount of attention online. I’m sure he’s right that 45 Republicans or thereabouts would support a motion to dismiss, or do whatever else Trump wants them to do. But has that ever been in doubt? The trick isn’t convincing a large Republican minority in the Senate to
