It’s fair to say that it is unlikely that FNC host Tucker Carlson and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) will be sharing a Thanksgiving meal together anytime soon.

While the U.S. is celebrating Independence Day July 4, the U.K. is still trying to resolve the impasse over its independence from the European Union. The British public voted for Brexit about three years ago, but parliament has yet been unable to find its way out. In the meantime, the upstart, Nigel Farage-led Brexit Party, which won big in the May EU parliamentary elections and wants to and appears to be a player domestically, has unveiled its “big vision” for the country.
Most of America who were watching TV during the last two nights were probably watching something else. For those who were tuned in to politics, do you think President Trump lost any votes because of the virtue-signaling pander fest otherwise known as the Democratic Debates?
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 โIn order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know thingsโฆโ
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 โwith real-world experienceโ 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 governmentโs 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.
