WATCH: Bloomberg’s New 2020 Ad Is Full of Lies

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, former New York City Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg tweeted out a wildly misleading campaign ad.

Above the video, Bloomberg wrote: “21 students are shot every day – because of Trump’s unwillingness to act. Between protecting the NRA and our children, he’s made his choice. Which is why we need to beat him.”

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, features various clips of President Trump speaking about gun safety before on-screen text reads: “Here’s every school shooting since Trump took office.” . . .

Here’s the problem – “school shooting” is a subjective phrase with no commonly understood objective definition. What this means in practice is that any time a firearm is discharged at or near a school, it can be labeled a “school shooting.” . . .

Among the “school shootings” listed in Bloomberg’s video are multiple suicides (at least one of which just happened to take place in a school parking lot) and unintentional firearm discharges. A mass-casualty event like the May 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting in which ten people were murdered is listed alongside these other incidents as though in the same vein.

WATCH: Biden Imitates Stuttering Child at Democrat Debate; Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden imitated a stuttering child during Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate which drew a wide range of responses online.

“My wife and I have call list of somewhere between 20 and 100 people that we call at least every month to tell them, ‘I’m here,’” Biden said. “I give them my private phone number, they keep in touch with me.”

Biden then imitated a “little kid” with a stutter that he says he talks to on the phone.

“I have scores of these young women and men who I keep in contact with,” Biden continued. “And the reason I’d give everyone here a gift is because they want to do something like I do at making their lives better because there’s a lot people who are hurting very, very, very badly.”

Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments

By Politico. . .The long-awaited confrontation between Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg materialized in the debate’s second hour, when the Massachusetts senator slammed her 37-year-old opponent for holding a pricey campaign fundraiser in a cave at a tony California winery. That cascaded into a stagewide battle, with Sen. Bernie Sanders joining the billionaire-trashing brigade.

The debate also featured a dustup between Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who stood up for the candidates with national experience and pointed out the mayor’s lack of it. And, once again, the candidates sparred over health care and the Sanders-championed “Medicare for All” proposal. . .

Buttigieg argued that he’s “literally” the only candidate onstage who isn’t a millionaire or billionaire and charged that Warren — who raised money at traditional fundraisers for her Senate campaign and transferred much of that cash to her presidential bid when she entered the race — couldn’t pass her own “purity” test. . .

“If you can’t say ‘No’ to a donor, then you have no business running in the first place,” Buttigieg said, highlighting Warren’s Senate fundraising. “Did it corrupt you, Senator? Of course not. So to denounce the same kind of fundraising guidelines that President Obama went by, that [House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi goes by, that you yourself went by until not long ago, in order to build the Democratic Party and build a campaign ready for the fight of our lives, these purity tests shrink the stakes of the most important election.” (Read more from “Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments” HERE)

Biden Is Willing to Sacrifice Hundreds of Thousands of Blue-Collar Jobs (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden said during Thursday’s Democratic debate that he is willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs in oil and gas in an effort to help fight climate change.

One of the moderators during Thursday’s debate asked Biden if he would “be willing to sacrifice some of” the growth that “three consecutive American presidents” have seen in the economy. This economic growth has occurred partly due to oil and gas production.

“The answer is yes,” Biden said, even after the moderator noted that the move could displace hundreds of thousands of jobs. “The answer is yes, because the opportunity, the opportunity for those workers to transition to high paying jobs, as Tom [Steyer] said, is real. We’re the only country that’s taken great crises and turned them into enormous opportunities.”

WATCH: Bernie Sanders Has Outburst About Being White

/0 Comments/in , /by

2020 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders was widely panned in the media for his outburst about being white during Thursday’s Democratic debate.

Politico correspondent and moderator Tim Alberta noted a comment made by former President Barack Obama Monday about old men who won’t get “out of the way” being to blame for many world problems.

When Alberta said that Sanders, 78, was the oldest candidate on stage, the Vermont senator interjected, yelling “and I’m white as well!” and an awkward silence followed. . .

Tom Namako, the news director at Buzzfeed News, highlighted the silence that followed Sanders’ comment. Washington Post reporter Amy B. Wang echoed this, tweeting out that his comment was followed by “some awkward silence.”

Culture editor at The Federalist Emily Jashinsky joked that “absolutely no one” had asked Sanders to comment about his race.

Adam Schiff Got Caught Celebrating Impeachment at a Swanky Steak House; Dems Cheer After Vote, Pelosi Shoots Them A Death Glare

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has been driving impeachment against President Trump for months, went out for steak last night ahead of today’s full House vote. Apparently, they’re celebrating.

Meanwhile, Democrats keep pretending they aren’t giddy over today’s impeachment proceedings. They’ve been instructed not to cheer if the articles pass and talking points about it “being a solemn day” have made the rounds. Adding to the drama, many Democratic Congresswomen are wearing black.

Democrats Begin to Applaud Impeachment…Until Pelosi Gives Them a Look

By Townhall. Laughs, smiles, and applause. Does that sound like a “solemn” day to you? Throughout Wednesday’s debate on the House floor over impeaching President Trump, Democrats cracked jokes about wanting to impeach him months before he even called the Ukrainian president, and others applauded while their colleagues painted him as an unconstitutional ogre. . .

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had promised us that today was going to be a “sad and prayerful” day as they prepared to vote on their two articles of impeachment against Trump. Both articles, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, have now passed.

Ilhan Omar Has Freak out on House Floor (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar was reportedly caught on audio yelling “Stop it!” multiple times during Wednesday night’s impeachment proceedings as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy brought up a fellow “Squad” member’s prior comments about impeachment.

“Democrats have wanted to impeach President Trump since the day he was elected, and nothing was going to get in the way, certainly not the truth,” McCarthy said. “Madam speaker, Chairman Schiff said he had evidence, more than circumstantial, of collusion. That was false. In January, where we all stood in this body, we stood up, we raised our hands, we swore that we’d uphold the Constitution.”

After a round of applause presumably from fellow House Republicans, McCarthy brought up Tlaib’s comments to supporters, spoken shortly after being elected, about helping fellow Democrats “impeach the mother f**ker.” . . .

At which point someone, later reportedly identified by PBS Newshour senior reporter Daniel Bush and others as Rep. Omar, could be heard yelling “Stop it!” at least three times.

WATCH: Lisa Page Explains What Her Texts Messages With Peter Strzok REALLY Meant

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page explained to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow what the text messages between her and former FBI agent Peter Strzok actually meant during her first televised interview on Tuesday.

Maddow asked Page what Strzok, who she was having an affair with, meant by having an “insurance policy” in case then-candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.

“First of all it’s not my text so I’m sort of interpreting what I believed he meant back three years ago, but we’re using an analogy,” Page explained. “We’re talking about whether or not we should take certain investigative steps or not based on the likelihood that he’s going to be president or not. You have to keep in mind if President Trump doesn’t become president, the national security risks, if there is somebody in his campaign associated with Russia, plummets.”

SEE IT: Climate Activists Try to Stop Freight Train Hauling Coal

/0 Comments/in , /by

An environmental reporter in Massachusetts posted a video on Twitter late Monday that she said showed a freight train hauling coal being met with a group of climate change activists on a dark track.

The train was seen moving slowly through Worchester, Mass., and about a dozen activists with small lights could be seen surrounding the tracks. The train’s horn was blaring, but the activists appeared to continue to give it chase. The train was headed to New Hampshire, the reporter wrote.

Miriam Wasser, a reporter for WBUR, Boston’s NPR station, posted the clip and wrote that the train was alerted about people on the track after a call to the emergency hotline. It was unclear if the activists were part of a organized group. (Read more from “SEE IT: Climate Activists Try to Stop Freight Train Hauling Coal” HERE)

Heckling, Scuffles Break out at Schiff Appearance in Home District; He Still Refuses to Say He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance of Trump Aide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Hill. Scuffles spurred by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) appearance broke out at a town hall in California to commemorate recognizing the Armenian genocide.

The event in Glendale, Calif., organized by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) was designed to praise lawmakers who voted to recognize the Armenian genocide in recent House and Senate resolutions, ANCA Western Region Chairwoman Nora Hovsepian told The Hill.

But when Schiff started to speak at the event, a man and a woman held up signs that said, “Don’t Impeach.” The two were asked to take down the signs, but they declined. About a dozen people then crowded the town hall, yelling, “Liar!” and taking off their jackets to display pro-Trump merchandise, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Some commotion broke out in the crowds for about 15 minutes as those attending the town hall asked for the yelling to stop.

Three Glendale police officers at the event helped regulate the episode, and no injuries were reported, police told the Times.

Schiff Refuses to Say He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance of Trump Aide

By Daily Caller. Rep. Adam Schiff admitted Sunday that the FBI committed “serious abuses” of the foreign surveillance court process in order to spy on Carter Page, though the California Democrat stopped short of acknowledging he was wrong to defend the bureau and in his promotion of the infamous Steele dossier.

“Given what you know now … are you willing to admit that you were wrong in your defense of the FBI’s FISA process?” “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace asked Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

“I’m certainly willing to admit that the inspector general found serious abuses of FISA that I was unaware of,” said Schiff, referring to a Justice Department inspector general’s report that found the FBI made “significant” errors and omissions in applications for FISA warrants on Page.

WATCH: James Comey Admits He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

James Comey said Sunday that he was “wrong” about the FBI’s handling of surveillance warrants against Carter Page, who the former FBI director acknowledged was “treated unfairly” by having his name leaked to the press as a suspected Russian agent.

“He is right. I was wrong,” Comey said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” in reference to the findings of Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general.

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace pressed Comey about Horowitz’s report, which found “significant inaccuracies” in the FBI’s applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Page. Horowitz found that FBI agents and officials made 17 major errors or omissions in the FISA applications.

The report stated FBI agents withheld information in the applications that undercut the theory that Page was working for Russia. They also withheld information that undermined the credibility of Christopher Steele and his dossier, which Horowitz said was a “central and essential” component of the FISA application. FBI agents failed to reveal in their FISA applications that Steele told agents that one of his sources for the dossier was a “boaster” and “embellisher.” Investigators also failed to disclose that one of Steele’s primary sources disavowed significant parts of the dossier during interviews in January 2017.

The report undercut Comey and other former FBI leaders’ defense of the FBI’s surveillance of Page, a former Naval officer.
