Nancy Pelosi is the odds-on favorite of becoming the once-and-future Speaker of the House now that Democrats have won control of the lower chamber, but a group of progressives in her party are not going to make ascension easy for her. This week, a band of House Democrats are signing their name to an official letter opposing her bid for ...

If we needed any further confirmation that this country is hopelessly divided along political lines, a new survey from Axios should provide it. According to a poll of more than 3,000 American adults, no fewer than 61% of Democrats think words like “racist,” “bigoted,” and “sexist” can best be used to describe Republican voters. On the flipside, 31% of Republicans ...

Guardian U.S. writer Moira Donegan is only one of many liberal feminists upset that more than half of American white women continue to vote for the Republican Party, but she appears to be more angry about it than most. In a column this week devoted to finding out “what’s wrong with them,” Donegan concludes that at least 53% of white ...

Broward County elections supervisor Brenda Snipes is under fire for her incompetence, and what the Miami Herald reports about her handling of the 2018 midterm ballot review is unlikely to help her fend off that perception. According to the paper, Snipes accidentally mixed rejected ballots in with more than 200 valid ones when presenting them to the county canvassing board ...

President Donald Trump finally demanded the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday, a widely-expected conclusion to the former Alabama senator’s undistinguished and disgraceful tenure at the Justice Department. We’ve got a lot of love for old Jefferey when it comes to his views on illegal immigration and the rule of law, and we’re not denying that he did ...

There’s a brilliant (and, in this campus environment, quite courageous) column in Colorado State University’s Collegian newspaper this week. It’s written by Katrina Leibee, and whatever her larger political views might be, she’s dead on the money when it comes to the absurd chains of political correctness that modern colleges are trying to shackle their students with. In her piece, ...

In remarks to Scalabrini missionaries at the Vatican this week, Pope Francis said that nations around the world should welcome immigrants through their borders, for no nation was built by anything other than migrants travelling to a new land for a better life. Nations, he said, “are built by migrants, just as migrants built Europe.” It is the latest pro-immigrant ...

Ken Starr, the special prosecutor hired to investigate the Clintons for their involvement in the Whitewater real estate scandal back in the 1990s, told a New York radio station this weekend that Democrats had no reasonable case of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Starr, whose finding of perjury against President Bill Clinton eventually led to his impeachment in the House ...

Professor Samuel Abrams of Sarah Lawrence College probably knew he was inviting trouble when he decided to speak out publicly about the homogenous liberal thought at his place of employment. Yet he did so anyway, writing an editorial for The New York Times in which he took his administration (and others) to task for left-wing groupthink. The conservative-leaning professor immediately ...

Calling it “racist,” “divisive,” “inflammatory,” and all kinds of other good adjectives, the Democrats are outraged over President Trump’s final campaign advertisement of the election season. It is, of course, focused on illegal immigration and the Democrats who have allowed this problem to go unchecked for years. The ad shows convicted cop-killer Luis Bracamontes, an illegal immigrant – already deported ...
