Few Democratic voters in the Bronx cast their ballot for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez last November because they thought she should be the next big national star in Washington. Few of them voted for her so that she could take a “moonshot” leap at climate change with her so-called Green New Deal. There probably weren’t too many voters who sent her to ...

Valerie Plame is best known as the former CIA officer who was outed to the media in the Bush years, supposedly as retaliation for her husband’s questions about the validity of the “weapons of mass destruction” intelligence that led us into the Iraq War. But Plame, who just announced that she’s running for a Senate seat in New Mexico, is ...

LGBT activists in San Antonio convinced local Democrats to bar Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport over what they termed “anti-LGBTQ behavior,” but that might not be the end of the story.

Eric Holder, the former Attorney General of the United States under President Obama, questioned Wednesday the “Make America Great Again” movement by asking on MSNBC: “Exactly when did you think America was great?” Holder, who recently confirmed that he would not be running for president in 2020, sounded a lot like New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who said late last ...

Equal parts angry and vindicated, the president’s son said that there needed to now be a reckoning for the people who perpetrated ...

We’re in a celebratory mood this fine Monday morning, and we don’t need to explain why. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has finished his investigation, delivered his final report, and has singlehandedly crushed the media/Democratic Party conspiracy theory: There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. This has all been a giant lie – a hoax perpetrated by Rachel Maddow, Jim ...

In a press release on Friday, United Airlines declared that their were continuing to “lead in inclusivity” by opening up their in-flight documentation to passengers who don’t fit into the neat gender binaries that somehow worked for society for the last 6,000 years.

In a Q&A session at the American Enterprise Institute this week, retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland warned that identity politics was a threat to the future of the American armed forces, ruining the “we are one” mindset that is so important to building a cohesive battle unit.

Back in the late 1990s, Kellyanne and George Conway were on the same page. Both of them wanted to see then-President Bill Clinton impeached for committing perjury, tampering with witnesses, and generally making a perverted fool of himself in the Oval Office.
