Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is taking the fight to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party establishment after the feud exploded last week.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) claimed a larger crowd for his rally in Queens on Saturday than Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed last month for her rally in Manhattan, signaling that he is far from ready to cede the primary fight.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) called former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the “queen of warmongers” on Friday, blaming Clinton for orchestrating recent smears against her in the mainstream media. 

Billionaire left-wing mega-donor and Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer has called for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to open the “impeachment inquiry” to the public rather than holding it in secret.

The Democratic Party’s presidential candidates may support the “Green New Deal,” and an end to fossil fuels, but all of the frontrunners are spending large amounts of money on private flights as they jet around the campaign trail.

The media are an opposition that most people already dislike intensely. For Trump, they are an ideal rhetorical foil.

Retired Admiral William McRaven has published an op-ed in Friday’s New York Times titled, “Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President,” urging that Trump be removed from office — “the sooner, the better.”

The Democrat-run House passed a bill denying funds to Russia pending proof of no election interference, what they now call a “quid pro quo.”

Mitt Romney has been severely critical of Trump’s Syria policy. But in 2007, Romney had a somewhat different view of the Kurds.

CNN claimed Thursday that the White House “admits to quid pro quo with Ukraine.” That was the opposite of what happened during a press conference with acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.

Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Thursday in Ankara, Turkey, that the U.S. and Turkey had agreed to an immediate cease-fire in Syria that would allow Kurdish forces to withdraw from the border.

Elijah Cummings forged personal friendships with Republicans. His legacy on the House Oversight Committee, however, is one of stark partisanship.

Trump has guided a healthy economy and a revival of the middle class in peaceful circumstances. As he faces a field of Democratic rivals stampeding to the left, he is confident.

CLAIM: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is a “third-rate politician.” VERDICT: False. She is at least a second-rate politician.

President Donald Trump penned an unusually blunt letter last Wednesday to Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, warning him not to kill Kurdish civilians.

President Donald Trump rebuked ABC News’ Jonathan Karl publicly during a press conference Wednesday for the network’s claim that footage from a Kentucky gun range was in fact footage of Turkey bombing Kurds in Syria.

Even the “moderate” candidates at the Democrat debate supported radical policies — such as extreme tax hikes, for example.

CLAIM: CNN and the New York Times failed to ask a single question about climate change during the fourth Democrat debate on Tuesday evening. VERDICT: True.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) would not deny Tuesday that her plan for “Medicare for All” raised taxes on the middle class — even as she did everything she could to avoid confirming it.

CLAIM: Pete Buttigieg claimed in the Democrat that Trump has been silent on Hong Kong. VERDICT: Mostly false. Trump brought it up in his UN speech.

Moderators from CNN and the New York Times, the hosts of Tuesday night’s Democrat debate, failed to ask a single question about China or Hong Kong from the twelve presidential hopefuls onstage in the course of three hours.

Fact Check – CLAIM: “Unfettered capitalism” created the opioid crisis. VERDICT: False. The opioid crisis was the result of bad government policy and medical advice.

Ironically, when a diplomatic and political solution to the Kurds’ dilemma presented itself, few bothered to support it. Now that Turkey has crossed the border, many are reacting solely out of political concerns.

The mainstream media have begun to acknowledge that some Kurdish forces in the Turkey-Syria border region are a legitimate national security concern for Turkey, after a week of criticism of President Donald Trump’s withdrawal.

The New York Times ran a hit piece on Saturday painting Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) as a right-wing extremist, leading her to reiterate a threat to boycott Tuesday’s Democrat debate, which the Times is co-sponsoring with CNN.

Byron York wrote in the Washington Examiner on Saturday that Democrats are using a secret impeachment process to create a narrative that leaves out contradictory facts and prevents Republicans from presenting any real defense.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which awaits a vote in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.

The Wall Street Journal has blamed environmental regulations and mandates for California wildfires — and for the blackouts this week that are aimed at preventing them.

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Corp. CEO Bill Johnson has issued a public apology for a party the company threw at a Northern California winery for major clients on the eve of blackouts affecting hundreds of thousands of people.

CLAIM: Conservatives are using an old “sexist trope” by attacking Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for her “authenticity.” VERDICT: False. Doubts about Warren’s latest tale were first raised by a female socialist.
