“I don’t use those words to just throw bombs,” says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this bizarre rant. That appears to be exactly what the frosh House Democrat is doing in this Instagram Q&A. Ocasio-Cortez uses Holocaust language to describe detention centers for border crossers and calling Donald Trump a “fascist” for making them an “institutionalized practice.”

Don’t get David Brooks wrong. He’s not celebrating the fact that Donald  Trump is “good for business” in this interview yesterday with CBN’s David Brody. In fact, he’s worried that the New York Times and the rest of the mainstream media has “made Donald Trump our business model.” This is a lament, not an end-zone

Will the trade war between the US and China come to an end next week? Donald Trump tweeted out this morning that a planned meeting at the upcoming G-20 summit next week will become an “extended meeting.” His description of preparations between then and now offered a strong hint of an agreement in the works:

Question: What can Congress do to get around claims of executive privilege while pursuing dreams of impeachment? Answer, via Politico — subpoena randos. Oh sure, they’re famous randos, of course, necessary for garnering the headlines that the House Judiciary Committee craves, but legally speaking about as relevant as calling John Dean to talk about Watergate. Which,

A year ago, the Supreme Court granted cert in an appeal from Terance Gamble in what appeared to signal a willingness to expand the constitutional prohibition on double jeopardy. Gamble got prosecuted by Alabama and by the federal government over essentially the same offense, for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Would the

If you keep serving this President fat softballs across the plate, he’ll keep on swinging. It’s impossible to tell when liberals are being serious or intentionally hyperbolic sometimes, but plenty of them have suggested that if Donald Trump either loses his next election or completes two terms, he might refuse to leave office. Despite the

Consider this a measure of House Democrats’ impotence, and perhaps of Nancy Pelosi’s wisdom. Despite Democrats’ 24/7 hyperbole in demanding impeachment, the needle has not moved at all among voters, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac. Six in ten American voters oppose impeachment, just as they have for the last six months, although they’re

As our regular readers know, I’ve long been interested in the UFO topic and tales of other paranormal phenomena, particularly since the government and the military began openly chattering about Unidentified Aerospace Phenomenon back in December of 2017. The military has been increasingly open about increased numbers of sightings of… something. Of course, we’re not

Did Don McGahn lie to Robert Mueller — or did he just assume Donald Trump wanted Robert Mueller fired? Trump floated both of those possibilities to George Stephanopoulos in the latest clip featured by Good Morning America from their one-on-one interview. “I was never going to fire Mueller,” Trump declared, “I never suggested firing Mueller,” and

For a country that supposedly only agreed to the status quo, Mexico seems pretty busy making a lot of changes. Almost as soon as Donald Trump announced an agreement with Mexico to sharply reduce the flow of illegal immigration to the US border, the US media rushed to call it a defeat. Trump didn’t get

Almost thirty years after the fact, Anita Hill still holds Joe Biden responsible for not defending her enthusiastically enough in Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearing. She pointedly refused to accept a very belated expression of regret from the former VP earlier this year, and to this day sounds bitter about her interactions with the Democratic frontrunner.

Cabot Phillips from Campus Reform went to Marymount University in Virginia to ask students whether a selection of racially-tinged quotes were uttered by Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Here’s a list of the quotes he asked about: “You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not

What exactly is Patrick Shanahan’s status within the Trump administration? After announcing in early May that Donald Trump wanted to take the “acting” off of his “acting Secretary of Defense” title, his future looks murkier than ever. Earlier this week Trump suggested that he’d made the formal nomination, but a “We’ll see” today has Politico

Come on, man. Was this ever in doubt? Regardless of the opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel, Donald Trump isn’t going to fire Kellyanne Conway for allegedly violating the Hatch Act — in order to defend Trump and push his agenda. “It sounds to me like a free-speech thing,” Trump said: Donald Trump falsely

Once the interview with George Stephanopoulos aired, showing President Trump saying “I think I’d take it,” regarding foreign governments and oppo research, the media pounced. Ed broke it down into questions involving Norway, Russia and Ukraine, but we could presumably be talking about any country in the world. Everyone and their brothers leaped on this

Welcome to today’s political Rorschach test, in which your political leanings can be determined by whether you answer Russia or Norway. Both come up in this part of Donald Trump’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who asked whether Trump would accept dirt on his political opponent(s) from foreign sources. “I think I’d take it,” Trump

“Fake news” might be a bit harsh. After all, the polls do actually exist. Useless news? That might be a better description for polling in June 2019 for an election in November 2020 — with maybe one small caveat: …..The Fake (Corrupt) News Media said they had a leak into polling done by my campaign which,

Don’t think for a moment that this cartoonish dramatic reading of a rando constituent letter on the House floor by Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) is about Donald Trump. Fudge yesterday offered this distilled version of the hyperbolic and paranoid ramblings coming from House Democrats over the past two years about Trump, using the hoary rhetorical device

CNN’s Chris Cillizza is concerned that Fox News is talking about Joe Biden’s health. Even partisanship should have its limits. And one of those limits should be raising entirely unfounded questions about a presidential candidate’s health. Which is exactly what two Fox News personalities — Kennedy and Sean Hannity — have done, according to this

This is such a bone of contention in the liberal media right now that everyone seems to be unable to let go of it. The question of the day/week is whether or not President Trump actually chalked up a win in his negotiations with Mexico over immigration and tariffs. Cocaine Mitch was on Hugh Hewitt’s

Perhaps they should be grateful that so few people witnessed the spectacle. “It should have been on CNN and MSNBC and Fox,” Steve Cohen steamed after John Dean’s flop at the House Judiciary Committee yesterday. Afterward, however, even some of Cohen’s colleagues in the House Democratic caucus wondered what they had accomplished with their walk

After winning a face-off with Mexico, Donald Trump told CNBC that China will be next to fold. The president scoffed at the US Chamber of Commerce and critics from both parties over their opposition to tariffs as a means to equalize what Trump sees as bad trading and security relationships. “Tariffs are a beautiful thing,”

If Donald Trump’s triumph on Friday lacked anything, it was that Mexico had staved off a demand to change its asylum policies. The Trump administration had demanded that Mexico adopt the “safe third country” protocol, by which asylum seekers would have to apply in the first safe country in which they set foot. President Andrés

Analysts looking for steady job growth got a rude awakening this morning from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Instead of the expected expansion of 180,000 jobs in May, the economy only added 75,000 jobs, the second-worst performance since August 2017. Unemployment remained steady, but that’s one of the few bright spots from the jobs report:

What better way to end a wild week than with what looks like a big Trump administration triumph? Within the last hour, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that the threatened tariffs on Mexico have been “indefinitely suspended,” and that negotiators have a “signed agreement” on immigration issues: ….stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and

Will Donald Trump take his winnings from his standoff with Mexico and cash out? At least so far, he doesn’t seem inclined to do so. On his way back from Europe, Trump tweeted out that there’s a “good chance” that Mexico can avoid the tariffs — but only if they “make the deal”: If we

Seventy-five years ago today, more than 4400 Allied soldiers gave their lives to free Europe from the grasp of a madman. The greatest invasion force ever launched spelled the end for Nazi Germany, but not before a lot of young men made the ultimate sacrifice for victory. With most of D-Day’s veterans gone and more

Turnabout is fair play, but don’t bet on this ploy working for long with House Democrats. In a meeting on Tuesday, Politico reports, Pelosi tried to forestall impeachment talk by telling Jerrold Nadler she had other plans for Donald Trump: Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Donald Trump “in

At least so far, the answer appears to be yes. Donald Trump wants former Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli to take over at Citizenship and Immigration Services for the recently departed L. Frank Cissna, who left at the same time Kirstjen Nielsen resigned as Secretary of Homeland Security. That will require Cuccinelli to seek Senate confirmation

Color me surprised that it took this long for this option to emerge. The Hill reports that House Democrats have begun considering a step short of impeachment to “put a permanent mark” on Donald Trump’s record without taking the risk of infuriating voters: House Democrats are eyeing a move to censure President Trump as a
