US President Donald Trump has bragged he “canceled” a bloated version of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus after Senate Democrats inserted over 1,110 pages of partisan line items in the must-pass bill. “I canceled the deal last night,” Trump boasted during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday, referring to the latest $2 trillion version of the Phase III coronavirus stimulus bill. American workers and small […]

As the country slips into economic chaos, Democratic gatekeepers to a $1.8 trillion stimulus package have made several demands which have nothing to do with coronavirus before they’ll sign off on the legislation. According to Town Hall‘s Guy Benson, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are demanding massive collective bargaining powers for unions, more stringent fuel emissions standards for airlines, […]
As President Trump changed his tune about the coronavirus this past week, shifting on a dime from shrugging it off to calling it “the invisible enemy” America is at war with, he also began referring to it as the “Chinese Virus.” Using racist or racially inflected language, and waiting for Democrats to respond with fury, is a go-to move for Trump. Remember when people complained about […]
Authored by Peter van Buren via TheAmericanConservative.com, How did the Democrats end up with Joe Biden as their presumptive nominee? After three years of preparatory media fire about diversity and change, and chumming the electorate with promises of free college alongside all the health care-they-care-to-eat, Democrats started with six women, a couple of black people, the gay guy, and progressive ideas ranging from the necessary to […]
With income inequality the political hot potato du-jour and wealth concentration at its most extreme since the roaring twenties, is it any wonder that even Americans’ view of what used to be called ‘success’ is now tainted with the ugly taste of partisan ‘not-fair’-ism. Income inequality is roaring… Wealth concentration is extreme to say the least… But still, according to Pew Research’s latest survey, when asked […]
Roberto Schmidt/Getty Images President Donald Trump post a Twitter thread endorsing the House Democrats’ coronavirus response bill on Friday night, all but assuring its passage through Congress by early next week when the Senate returns. The bill, negotiated between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin, had been announced as completed earlier on Friday, but then the deal was threatened by House Republicans who expressed […]
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, House Democrats have introduced legislation that would undo President Trump’s travel bans from coronavirus stricken areas, despite the fact that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has said that the impact of the crisis would be much worse had the travel bans on China and Iran not been in place. Democrats want to strip the President […]
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced that she has struck a deal with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over a coronavirus relief plan that President Donald Trump has previously opposed as overreach. “We are proud to have reached an agreement with the Administration to resolve outstanding challenges, and now will soon pass the Families First Coronavirus Response Act,” Pelosi (D-California) said in a letter to House […]
Seth Meyers just happened to notice an “absolutely insane” rant from Fox Business host Trish Regan this week that helpfully sums up the message that President Donald Trump and so many other Fox viewers are receiving on a nightly basis about the coronavirus pandemic. “We’ve reached a tipping point,” Regan declared Monday night. “The chorus of hate being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo […]
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, While many leftists are accusing President Trump of politicising the coronavirus, CNN devoted a whole segment to daydreaming about how the potential pandemic could help Democrats win the election. As part of its primary night broadcast Tuesday, CNN’s anchors and guests discussed how the panic over the spread of the virus will hinder Trump’s relection. Democrat dropout Andrew Yang […]
With the likelihood of Joe Biden winning the Democratic nomination growing after Tuesday night’s election results, CNN’s Van Jones issued a serious warning to Democrats about this “dangerous” moment. Jones emphasized that Democrats cannot be gloating about Sanders losing and leaving his voters behind, and should instead be reaching out to them: “You have now an insurgency that’s about to be defeated. What do you do […]
With Joe Biden taking Michigan (along with Mississippi and Missouri), Democrats can heave a gusty sigh of relief that they won’t be nominating a socialist as their party’s standard bearer. Michigan was Sanders’ lifeline in 2016; not this time. Things won’t get any easier for Sanders next Tuesday; Florida could very well be his Waterloo, and Ohio and Illinois aren’t looking likely to be feeling the […]
It would appear that two things have sparked fear in President Trump’s heart this morning: 1) The prediction markets are now betting on a Democrat win in November… 2) And Trump knows that any meaningful fiscal policy juice to rescue stocks (oh yeah and the economy) will take weeks if not months if ever to achieve (and as we noted previously, may corner Trump into rolling […]
Europe 05:24 GMT 10.03.2020(updated 05:25 GMT 10.03.2020) Get short URL Currently, tens of thousands of asylum-seekers are camping out on the Greece-Turkey border in search of ways to cross into Europe, reigniting fears of a new migrant crisis. Swedish Democrats party leader Jimmie Åkesson has been arrested and deported from Turkey for handing out immigration-related leaflets on the Turkish-Greek border. Åkesson’s leaflets informed migrants that Sweden […]
Radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh lamented on his show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, Monday that Democrats are seeking to stop President Donald Trump‘s rallies – not over fear of the gatherings serving as a venue for the possible novel Coronavirus to spread – but rather because Democratic voters are showing up to the Republican commander-in-chiefs political events. Limbaugh began the segment by stating that, “Democrats out the […]
Just over a week ago, as the severity of the worldwide coronavirus outbreak was just starting to become apparent, Donald Trump Jr. went on Fox & Friends and said this about Democrats: “Anything that they can use to try to hurt Trump, they will… But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here and kills millions of people so […]
Imagine a group of people whose politics are in the political middle, perhaps middle right, with moderate views that have defined their understanding of community and nation for most of their lives. They understand we are a nation of immigrants and have myriad tales from their own English or Irish or Chinese families that exemplify the traits of fortitude and courage upon which this country—and their […]
The leader of the anti-immigration Swedish Democrats is determined to discourage migrants right from the off, telling them that they shouldn’t be counting on Sweden’s famed benefits, as the Nordic country is already “full.” Jimmie Akesson traveled to the Turkish border city of Edirne along with his top aide, having in their sights people set to cross into neighboring Greece. Over 12,000 migrants amassed there shortly […]
Activist and Bernie Sanders supporter Shaun King has sparred with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, after claiming she reported that the DNC is angling to prevent the socialist senator from winning the Democratic nomination. King tweeted out to his more than 1 million followers that Maddow had disclosed that “senior officials” within the Democratic Party were pressuring billionaire-turned-presidential-candidate Michael Bloomberg to drop out so that “Biden would […]
It’s a common refrain in electoral politics that Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line. But that axiom appears to have been dispensed with on Tuesday night, when several states voted for the candidate they and their party leaders best felt could do the one task they’re desperate for come November: beat Donald Trump. Former Vice President Joe Biden racked up a series of […]
President Donald Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg as the biggest losers of the Super Tuesday Democrat primaries, as it increasingly seemed he would face either Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders come November. Trump first turned his Twitter guns on Bloomberg, whom he has dubbed “Mini Mike,” declaring that the political consultants took his fellow New York billionaire for a ride and wasted some $700 […]
The second round of Super Tuesday polls for the Democrat presidential nominations have closed, with mainstream outlets calling most states for establishment favorite Joe Biden. At stake are 52 delegates in Alabama, 31 in Arkansas, 24 in Maine, 91 in Massachusetts and 37 in Oklahoma. Voting was extended in some Tennessee counties (64 delegates) due to disruptions from Monday night’s tornadoes. Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma were […]
