The Democratic National Committee, faced with the prospect of dozens of unworthy candidates cluttering up the debate stages this summer and fall, had no choice but to up the ante. While candidates will only have to pull in 60,000 or so donors to qualify for the first debate later this month, they’ll need to find 130,000 small donors if they ...

Disney promotes films all around the world in countries that have very little respect for human rights. They run a theme park in China, where the government is just this side of totalitarian and where more than a million Muslims are clamped up in re-education prisons. They filmed their last Star Wars movie in Abu Dhabi, where there are strict ...

In the latest hare-brained scheme from America’s self-proclaimed democratic socialists, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are teaming up to release legislation that would turn the United States Postal Service…into a bank. “Post offices exist in almost every community in our country,” Sanders wrote in a blog post. “There are more than 31,000 retail post offices in this country. An important ...

It isn’t often you see the editorial board of the Washington Post go against a major Democrat – especially one who is running for president – but sometimes proposals are so blatantly stupid that not even liberals can ignore the absurdity. That’s what happened this week when Sen. Elizabeth Warren put down the peace pipe long enough to roll out ...

It’s seldom that the Washington Post ever turns their fact-checker on prominent Democrats, but every once in a while the paper’s Glenn Kessler has to pretend that he’s calling balls and strikes and not actively playing politics. When that happens we get some honest-to-goodness truth in the Post. This time, it came in the form of four whopping Pinocchios, handed ...

The progressive, anti-gun left is beginning to realize that the pesky, elderly, out-of-date rag called the U.S. Constitution will forever stand in their way as they try to disarm America and turn us into a totalitarian, socialist State once and for all. Knowing that a fight to repeal the Second Amendment is beyond their means, they are doing their best ...

Sen. Rand Paul has released his annual “Waste Report,” detailing some of the most absurd expenditures of our taxpayer dollars. Appropriately published after another year of deficit spending that will likely add trillions to the national debt, the report highlights the worst examples of what might actually be deemed fraud if we had anyone of reasonable responsibility looking closely at ...

Eager to prove themselves a socially-conscious member of The Resistance this year, Dick’s Sporting Goods announced in the wake of the Parkland, FL shooting that it would no longer be selling AR-15 style rifles at its chain of retail outlets throughout the United States. Additionally, it would follow in Wal-Mart’s footsteps by raising the minimum age to buy a gun ...

Two Democrat Senators, with their eyes on the 2020 presidential race, have thrown their support behind an initiative for “basic income” – an idea that would provide free money to low-income families with no strings attached. The plans endorsed by Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are not as extensive as the “universal basic income” programs that some on the far ...

The really hilarious thing about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her complete inability to explain, much less justify, her socialist agenda, is that she’s rarely faced any real oppositional journalism. Quite the contrary, she is the darling of the left-wing media, and she has enjoyed their support from the moment she pulled off her upset victory in New York. But time and ...
