Second Amendment defenders took notice when Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) refused to answer a very important question about his plan to federally license all guns from law-abiding gun owners.
CNN’s Poppy Harlow asked the presidential candidate if he endorsed imprisoning gun-owners who didn’t comply with his plan quickly enough. . .
“Well first of all when I was a mayor of Newark, again, I have a record on dealing with gun violence. We did a lot of gun buy-backs and even other creative things I think we should have when I’m President of the United States,” Booker responded. “The critical thing is I think most Americans agree that these weapons of war should not be on our streets.”
“But, again, would you prosecute people?” Harlow pressed Booker. “Do you support the government buying them back and if not, potentially people could go to jail if they don’t want to sell them back? Yes or no?”
“Again, we should have a law that bans these weapons and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons,” Booker dodged.

By Breitbart. Vice President Joe Biden said his grandson asked him recently about an internet meme of him molesting a child at his son’s funeral. . .
“Pop it says: ‘Look at Biden molesting a kid,” Biden recalled about the meme, quoting his grandson. . .
The photo he was referring to was a cropped photo from the Associated Press of Biden clutching and speaking to Hunter at the 2015 funeral for his son Beau. The meme tries to capitalize on other photos on the Internet of Biden touching children and making them feel uncomfortable.
Biden said he relayed the story to show supporters that both he and his family were aware of how Trump could attack the Biden family during the 2020 election, but he spoke in detail about a conversation he had with his grandson Hunter.
Biden’s grandson Hunter is the son of Hunter Biden, who divorced his wife in 2007 and had an affair with his dead brother Beau Biden’s widow. The couple broke up, however, shortly after Biden announced his presidential campaign. (Read more from “Biden’s Grandson Asked Him About Internet Meme Accusing Him of Molesting a Child” HERE)
Biden Says Adult Granddaughter Told Him: ‘Mommy and Daddy Had a Divorce and They’re Going to Really Go After That’
By Washington Examiner. Joe Biden has said that President Trump will attack his family and that a grown-up granddaughter told him that the fact that “mommy and daddy had a divorce” would be exploited in the 2020 campaign.
“This guy [Trump] is going to go after me and my family,” Biden said a fundraiser in Columbia, S.C. on Saturday before telling a story about how his grandchildren implored him to run for president. “My generic point is they know how tough it’s going to be,” Biden said to the group of about three dozen attendees gathered in the home of Dick Harpootlian, a state senator and former South Carolina state chairman of the Democratic Party.
But it also appeared to be a warning that he considered his family to be off limits in the campaign, and that press coverage of the several women who have come forward to accuse him of touching women without their consent was hurtful to his grandchildren. . .
Hunter Biden, 49, and his wife Kathleen divorced in 2017 after it emerged that he had been having an affair with his sister-in-law Hallie after Beau’s death. Kathleen claimed in divorce papers, that Hunter had spent “extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.”
In 2014, Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine during a drug test. He joined the military at the late age of 43, which required an age waiver, as well as one for a separate drug-related incident.

A Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed that only ten percent of Americans have a positive view of socialism.
The poll, broadly titled “SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM,” took a hard look at the sentiments of U.S. citizens regarding the rising popularity of Bernie Sanders-styled socialism in American politics. With few qualifiers, the results were clear: 57 percent of Americans said that socialism was incompatible with American values — only 29 percent believed otherwise.
As far as feelings toward socialism in general, the waters were only a little murkier: 42 percent had negative feelings toward it, 45 percent were neutral, and just ten percent had a positive view of this latest trend in progressive politics. However, their feelings toward capitalism were similarly lukewarm. Thirty-nine percent expressed a positive opinion of capitalism, 40 percent were neutral, and 17 percent were negative. . .
Another question specifically examining the subject of a “universal health care system” found that the idea is being disassociated with socialist philosophy. Fifty-eight percent of Americans expressed approval of the concept, and 53 percent asserted that it was not a socialist policy. The inconsistencies suggest to some that, while socialism remains stigmatized in America, its actual definition in the public eye may be evolving.
“We may be in a period of flux with how these economic systems are viewed,” said Monmouth’s Patrick Murray. “Socialism still carries a stigma, but many Americans feel they are being left behind by the current capitalist system. Policies that have traditionally been seen as socialist may be getting more popular even if the term itself is not.” (Read more from “According to This Poll, Americans Really Aren’t Cool With Socialism” HERE)

A racially-charged clip of Biden from 2007 discussing condom use in the black community and AIDS testing has become the latest un-Woke clip of the former VP to come under scrutiny.
On a debate stage alongside Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, Biden bragged about spending his entire summer trying to convince black men to wear condoms, scolded “the community” for being “in denial” about AIDS, and praised Obama for getting an AIDS test.
“As Hillary points out, there’s neglect in the part of the medical and the white community focusing on educating the minority community out there. I spent last summer going through the black sections of my town holding rallies in parks trying to get black men to understand it’s not unmanly to wear a condom, getting women to understand they can say no, getting people in the position where testing matters,” the Democrat said.
Biden then bragged about him and Obama getting tested for AIDS. . .
“I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There’s no shame in being tested for AIDS,” he added, gesturing to an uncomfortable looking Obama. “It’s an important thing.” (Read more from “FLASHBACK: Biden Says He Spent All Summer Trying to Get Black Men to Wear Condoms, Praises Obama for Getting AIDS Test” HERE)

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) made a name for himself after making comments about how he wanted to nuke gun owners that defended their right to keep and bear arms. Gun rights advocates have kept their eye on his gun control comments, especially as he attempts to woo voters during the 2020 presidential campaign.
Swalwell took to Twitter on Monday to, once again, voice his disdain for gun owners and, naturally, the National Rifle Association of America. . .
They (the NRA) hate me because they know I’m not the bogeyman they want … I feel comfortable shooting guns. I do shoot guns. I think that they want the person who is proposing tougher gun laws to be someone who’s never handled a gun before.https://t.co/EdLpxAVt6V
NRA Spokeswoman Dana Loesch told, pretty bluntly, that no one hates him. They’re simply uninterested in what he has to say.
Even though you threatened to nuke and jail people if they didn’t turn over their guns, no one hates you. They’re just uninterested. https://t.co/EyPj4W2z0O
1) The boogeyman is a lot scarier than you and your comb over. 2) We don't hate you. 3) Since you've shot guns does that mean you're going to nuke yourself? Or is the nuking only for those who are evil enough to OWN firearms? https://t.co/EkEVhPSljv
The question for Swalwell: if you’re someone who shoots guns, does that mean your proposal includes nuking yourself? Or is that only for those who actually OWN a firearm, not just merely someone who shoots a gun? (Read more from “Eric Swalwell’s New Take on Why Gun Owners ‘Hate’ Him Is Pathetic” HERE)

Everyone knows the old sayings about broken clocks and blind squirrels, but I’ll confess to being genuinely surprised by this one. The editors of the New York Times, one of the most reliably liberal mainstream publications in America, are no longer able to ignore or abide the ongoing chaos at the Southern border. In a new house editorial, they acknowledge reality and urge Congressional Democrats to get serious about the problem — including a call to fulfill the Trump administration’s latest budget request on this front:
New York Times Editorial Board: “President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border.” pic.twitter.com/YTPAUl2fTQ
The piece includes some throat clearing and shots at the president, but its overall message is at least somewhat constructive. And it’s a far cry from Democrats’ bogus “manufactured crisis” rhetoric of recent months:
President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border. Just not the one he rants about…But as record numbers of Central American families flee violence and poverty in their homelands, they are overwhelming United States border systems, fueling a humanitarian crisis of overcrowding, disease and chaos. The Border Patrol is now averaging 1,200 daily arrests, with many migrants arriving exhausted and sick…On Wednesday, the White House sent Congress a request for $4.5 billion in emergency funding to help manage the surge. In a letter to lawmakers, the acting director of the White House’s budget office, Russell Vought, sought to convey the scope of the challenge. “In February, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered more than 76,000 illegal border crossers and inadmissible aliens, and in March that number exceeded 100,000 — the highest monthly level in more than a decade,” Mr. Vought wrote. He described what he said were “alarming numbers” of women and children jammed into Border Patrol stations never intended as long-term shelters.
Funding for vital services is not expected to last through the fiscal year, Mr. Vought said. Most urgently, the program that deals with unaccompanied minors is expected to run dry next month, requiring resources to be diverted from other programs and leading to a further deterioration in conditions…Nearly three-quarters of the funds, $3.3 billion, would be earmarked for humanitarian needs, with much of it flowing to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the agency responsible for unaccompanied minors. None of the money would go toward Mr. Trump’s border wall. Several hundred million dollars would, however, go toward shoring up border security operations, including increasing the number of detention beds overseen by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. This, for Democrats, is a nonstarter…The Democratic chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, Nita Lowey of New York, said that the administration was seeking billions of dollars to “double down on cruel and ill-conceived policies” and bail out ICE for locking up more migrant families than it could humanely accommodate. But until better policies are in place, Democrats need to find a way to provide money for adequate shelter.

Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims spends his free time harassing elderly women and teenagers who try and help women who are wanting to go through with an abortion. Instead of allowing these pro-life advocates to stand outside Planned Parenthood and talk with women entering the facility, Sims decided to film himself harassing and shaming them.
WATCH: Pennsylvania State Representative @BrianSimsPA harasses an elderly woman who is peacefully advocating for the lives of preborn human beings and women who are considering abortion.
Even though it appears things couldn’t get any worse than when he follows an elderly woman and encourages viewers to donate a $100 to Planned Parenthood for every hour she stood out there, he turned the notch up a bit. He was despicable and decided to offer $100 to anyone who could provide the names and addresses of the three teenagers who were outside the Planned Parenthood facility.
UPDATE: Watch PA Rep @BrianSimsPA offer up $100 for the identities & addresses of 3 TEENAGERS who are fighting for the lives of preborn children.
Conservative writer Matt Walsh asked other pro-lifers to organize a giant rally at this location:
This coward is accosting women and children at this clinic in Center City. Let’s organize a huge pro life rally at this location. I’d be happy to drive up there. Who’s game? Let’s see if Brian is man enough to show up when there’s more than just kids and elderly women there https://t.co/Ok0BLqAK3o

Newly unearthed messages sent by former FBI agent Peter Strzok have prompted a call for an additional investigation into the bureau’s handling of the Russia probe, particularly the FBI’s “apparent awareness of leaks by other agencies or entities to the media.”
In a letter sent to Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Monday, Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) highlighted two newly unearthed messages from Strozk — who headed up the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and was removed from the Russia probe after his biased messages against Donald Trump came to light. The messages raise more questions about the intelligence community’s role in leaking information about the Russia investigation. . .
They then point to a new pair of messages from Strzok which appear to relate to “the FBI’s apparent awareness of leaks by other agencies or entities to the media.” The first is a text sent by Strzok to Page in December 2016:
Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they’re kicking in to overdrive.
. . .
“These texts and emails raise a number of serious questions and concerns,” write Johnson and Grassley. “For example, who are the ‘sisters’ and what does it mean to say that the ‘sisters have [been] leaking like mad’? What are they worried about, and what are they kicking into ‘overdrive’? Which ‘agency’ is he referring to and why does Strzok believe the referenced news article highlights that ‘agency as [a] source of some of the leaks’?” (Read more from “Here Are the Messages From Anti-Trump FBI Agent That Prompted Call for New Investigation” HERE)

As attorney general of the United States, William Barr serves at the pleasure of Donald J. Trump and takes direction from him as president of the United States. 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., seems to have a problem with that.
On a recent MSNBC appearance, Harris told host Rachel Maddow, “The attorney general is supposed to act on behalf of the people and not act as the president’s henchman.”
Harris made the statement after Maddow asked whether or not Barr had been given direction from the White House on his current probe into what led to his agency’s Russia election investigation.
Harris also sent a letter Friday asking DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to look into whether the White House directed Barr to investigate anyone, saying, “There must be no doubt that the Department of Justice and its leadership stand apart from partisan politics, and resist improper attempts to use the power of federal law enforcement to settle personal scores.”
That talking point sounds great to Trump-haters and those looking to undermine AG Barr’s investigations. But it just doesn’t stand up to a simple understanding of the Constitution. Like it or not, President Trump is William Barr’s boss, and the attorney general serves at the president’s choice.
Executive appointees pursue the agenda of the president who nominated them. That’s what they do. They act on behalf of the people by pursuing the agenda of the guy the people elected.
And if the agenda is to find out what happened in some very shady-looking stuff at the DOJ and FBI during a previous administration, well, that job goes to the AG, folks.
It may sound like a great thing to have government officials and agencies that are completely independent from political considerations. But in the real, imperfect world that we inhabit, “independent” government is usually just fancy marketing for unaccountable government, and political considerations are what keep government actors in check.
But indeed, Americans should make sure that the people who enforce our laws “resist improper attempts to use the power of federal law enforcement to settle personal scores.”
After all, law enforcement officials could do some pretty bad stuff if they felt themselves too independent from political oversight and public backlash. They could, for example, target political candidates and their campaigns for clandestine investigation via dubious intelligence warrants based on specious political research documents. Some could even leak information about said investigations to a hungry, biased media, thereby giving fuel to their political opponents to bog them down with partisan investigations for years at a time.
And that’s the sort of thing that belongs in a corrupt banana republic or a totalitarian police state, not the United States of America. And that just happens to be the sort of thing Barr is investigating right now.
After all the high-flown language about serving the American people, law enforcement agencies and their heads have to be accountable to someone. And that someone has to be accountable to the voting public. That plus legislative oversight and legal checks from the judicial branch are how the AG remains accountable to the Constitution and the people.
Since she used to be California’s attorney general herself, Harris should be familiar with the concept.

Back in the 1980s, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wanted to send children to the Soviet Union and other communist regimes to learn about communism and socialism.
His statement was made on “Bernie Speaks with the Community” — a local television show show that Sanders starred in back when he was mayor of Burlington, Vermont. A recent story at Politico magazine points out some other highlights of Bernie’s time as a local TV star.
Sanders served as the mayor of Burlington for eight years, from 1981-1989. And at that time, while President Ronald Reagan and other leaders of the free world were working to bring down the Iron Curtain, Bernie wanted to send regular Americans families and children behind it.
“You know what I would love to see?” he asked a group of school children. “I would like to see families — your mothers and dads and yourselves maybe — go to the Soviet Union and learn about that country, and people from there come to here.”
He continued: “If you actually had kids here who were from Nicaragua or from the Soviet Union, and they could tell you what’s going on in their own country, boy, you could learn a whole lot. And then if kids from Vermont or Burlington were in those countries, they could tell those people what was going on in their hometown.”
Perhaps those people could have told the kiddos about the hunger during food shortages in a centrally planned economy. Maybe they would have talked to children whose uncle or father had disappeared into the gulag system. Perhaps they would even have met some lucky survivors of Stalin’s mass killings or the relatives of the Jewish intellectuals he murdered. They might have traveled south and visited some Holodomor survivors.
Perhaps some of them could have gone to the People’s Republic of China instead and learned firsthand about the horrors of Chairman Mao’s “Great Leap Forward.” And, hey, since it didn’t happen until Bernie’s last year in office, they could have even witnessed the Tiananmen Square massacre firsthand!
On second thought, in all seriousness, there actually may have been a lot for those kids to learn in an exchange program, but only as long as the necessary post-traumatic therapy was included with the total cost of the program.
In case that sounds a little too out there, even for a man who honeymooned in the U.S.S.R., here’s the video to prove it. His idea for an exchange program starts at the 4:30 mark:
