P
ete Buttigieg was conducting a “town hall” with Jake Tapper on CNN last night when he was asked what he thinks of religious Democrats who oppose gay marriage, given his wont to condemn Mike Pence for the same.

He responded by invoking his experience in Indiana, where “people were able to move past old prejudices and move into the future.” Ultimately, he said, it “is not an easy conversation for a lot of people who have, frankly, been brought up in a certain way and are struggling to get onto the right side of history.”

Buttigieg uses this schema anytime he is asked about traditional religious believers: He will rebuke anonymous remnants of the pre-Obergefell consensus in a conciliatory tone, offering them a path to redemption on the cheap, appealing to exogenous forces of History and progress to cudgel the hangers-on toward a reluctant embrace of “the future.”

At a Pride festival in June, Buttigieg tacked the same line. “There are millions of Americans,” he began,…

Description On Monday's Mark Levin show, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib keep getting special privileges despite their disdain for America. Their press conference today was a stunt; a stunt to advance the anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. Congressmen like Jerry Nadler actually have Jews in their districts yet they defend these two anti-Semites who sound like neo-Nazis. Unlike the U.S, Israel is surrounded by enemies and is constantly fighting for their survival. Why should Israel admit these two supporters of the BDS movement into their nation when the BDS movement seeks to destroy Israel. These two well-informed Congresswomen know that Israel had passed a law banning supporters of the BDS movement from entering Israel. Then, the Palestinian Authority operates like mobsters keeping their own people poor while they themselves become very wealthy. In 1941, Germany's promise to wipe out the Jews living in Palestine so the predecessors to the P.L.O. sided with the S.S. So much o…

White House officials are mulling a temporary payroll tax cut as a way to ward off an economic slowdown, according to the Washington Post.

The economy has slowed since the first-quarter pace of 3.1 percent and now appears to be on track for growth of around two percent for the year. Fears of a recession, however, have been rising, with economists now saying that there is about a 35 percent chance the economy contracts next year. The yield curve briefly inverted last week, often a signal that a recession looms.

According to the Washington Post, the talks are in their early stages. A cut to payroll taxes would have to be approved by Congress and could not be done by the White House alone.

Americans employed by businesses pay a 6.2 percent “payroll tax” on their earnings, with their employers paying the same amount. Self-employed Americans pay a 12.4 percent tax. That tax is levied to finance Social Security. Americans also pay a Medicare payroll tax of 1.45 for employees …

An emotional Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Monday held back tears during a news conference as she and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar condemned Israel’s recent decision to impose restrictions on visiting the country, with the Democrats calling for Congress to get involved.

“We in the United States have a constructive role to play,” Omar said at the news conference in St. Paul, Minn. “We give Israel more than $3 billion in aid every year. This is predicated on them being an important ally in the region, and the only democracy in the Middle East. But, denying a visit to duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally.”

Omar said lawmakers “have a responsibility to conduct oversight over our government’s foreign policy and what happens with the millions of dollars we send in aid.”

The two Muslim lawmakers held an afternoon news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol Building with Palestinian-American and Jewish-American residents of Minnesota…

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) participated on Monday in the Native American Presidential Forum in Sioux City, Iowa, and apologized for making “mistakes” in the past.

Warren was the second speaker out of a slew of fellow 2020 candidates slated to speak at the forum over the next two days. She told the crowd she has “listened” and “learned a lot” and offered another apology for her past “mistakes,” which involved listing herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) deskbook for more than a decade. She also listed herself as a Native American on her Texas Bar registration card.

“Like anyone who’s been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes,” Warren told the crowd. “I am sorry for harm I have caused.”

“I have listened and I have learned a lot, and I am grateful for the many conversations we have had together,” she added:



Warren has failed to offer a consistent explanation for her previous claims to Native American heritage.

“I l…
