Congresswoman Ihan Omar is getting some bad press in the Star Tribune, her hometown newspaper. Championing her candidacy in 2018, that publication, among many virtue-signaling mainstream news outlets, chose to ignore the solid work of investigate journalists and “conservative bloggers.” The Rep. Omar situation one again is another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”

Just 683 votes prevented the fledgling Brexit Party from winning its first seat in the U.K. parliament known as the House of Commons. To some degree, the defeat in the special election (which in Britain is called a by-election) for the Peterborough constituency stalls the Nigel Farage-led party’s momentum after its big win in the European elections.
Brexit champion Nigel Farage, who led the United Kingdom Independence Party to victory in the European Parliamentary Elections in 2014, has done it again. As leader of the grassroots Brexit Party, which only officially launched on April 12, easily won the 2019 version, as both the establishment “Conservatives” and Labor suffered humiliating defeats. With some votes still being tabulated in the proportional representation election, the Brexit Party appears to have captured 30 or so seats in the 73-member U.K. delegation to the Brussels-based European Union. The Brexit Party campaigned on leaving the EU on a no-deal, World Trade Organization basis so that the U.K. can once again resume its status as an independent country.
Former VP Joe Biden is currently leading the field among those candidates seeking to oppose President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election. But is his alleged appeal to Rust Belt and/or working-class voters legit or just media gaslighting?
The surging, grassroots Brexit Party is in for the long haul, regardless of what happens in the EU parliamentary elections on May 23, the group’s leader Nigel Farage announced today. The Brexit Party will field candidates “with real-world experience” in the next U.K. national election for the House of Commons, the domestic parliament, whenever that occurs, Farage explained in another tour de force speech and press conference.
With some votes still being counted, the Conservative Party got clobbered yesterday in local elections in the U.K. with municipal officials on the receiving end of protest vote over the Prime Minister Theresa May and her party’s failure to implement Brexit. In the low-turnout elections, thousands of voters even scrawled pro-Brexit messages on the ballot papers rather than selecting any of the candidates. “It is unusual to see a consistent message from those spoiling their ballots, reflecting the growing anger at the government’s failure to deliver an exit from the European Union.,” Westmonster noted.
There is increasing momentum among House Democrats across ideological lines to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump. That is the contention of journalist Michael Tracey.
Russiagate turned out to be “Deflategate” in that the Mueller report deflated the 24-7 media narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Against that backdrop, Aaron Maté joins an exclusive club, consisting of Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tracey, and Caitlin Johnstone and just a few other anti-Trump, left-wing/progressive journalists essentially concluding that the whole thing indeed was an establishment/media-driven hoax, if not a coup attempt against a sitting president.
In yet another example how wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat can be hazardous, a man identifying himself as a DACA recipient was assaulted on a Los Angeles college campus.
The Never Trumpers are GOP establishment luminaries and others in the Washington-New York media/political circuit who would have preferred Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the presidency in 2016 over their party’s official candidate. Since the election, vocal Never Trumpers, Republicans in Name Only, and assorted globalists have gone increasingly left ideologically out of animosity for the 45th president. Putting the “con” in conservative, they have abandoned all the long-time principles they supposedly espoused to collect a check from CNN or MSNBC or another liberal benefactor.
