Video Trump compromises over shutdown but Democrats still refuse to negotiate on border wall President Trump on Saturday promised supporters that the wall on the southern border will be built, a day after he agreed to temporarily reopen the government for three weeks without funding for a wall — but warned that “both parties [are] very dug in.” “21 days goes very quickly. Negotiations with Democrats will start immediately. Will not…

With airports jammed with angry passengers, Republican senators blaming each other behind closed doors for the government shutdown, and President Trump’s poll numbers tanking, the writing was on the wall. Feeling pressure from his fellow Republicans to reopen the government, Trump announced Friday afternoon that a deal was reached for federal employees to come back to work as negotiations on border security are given a little more time. A week…

Five years and political ambition make all the difference. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has come out in favor of a wealth tax ahead of the Democratic presidential primary. The Warren plan was previewed by two leftist economics professors from the University of California, Berkley: Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman. They tell the Washington Post that Warren will propose a 2 percent wealth tax on individuals with assets worth more than…

Video Jarrett: Roger Stone indictment doesn’t show Trump-Russia ‘collusion’ Roger Stone arrested by FBI in early morning raid; where were the raids for Hillary Clinton and others? Panel reaction on ‘Hannity.’ The indictment of President Trump’s former political adviser Roger Stone – who was arrested Friday on charges of obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements and witness tampering – demonstrates yet again that there is no known evidence…

President Trump’s decision Thursday morning to surrender to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s demand that he wait until after the government shutdown is resolved to deliver his State of the Union speech in the House chamber is going to make it a lot less likely that Pelosi, D-Calif., gives in on the funding for a border wall. Sure, in the larger scheme of things, this childish skirmish doesn’t matter much. No…

WASHINGTON — Mitch McConnell once called himself the guy who gets Congress out of government shutdowns. The Senate majority leader may still turn out to be that guy, but first he will have to emerge from the shadows where he has spent the last 33 days. McConnell, R-Ky., hasn’t just failed to get his party out of a shutdown; he hasn’t even appeared to try. He has instead stood on…

When President Donald Trump announced a deal to “compromise” with Democrats in an effort to secure border funding Saturday, he avoided mentioning several major proposed changes including the way the nation handles the temporary protected status of people from countries ravaged by war or disaster and for young immigrants known as “Dreamers.” In his announcement on Saturday, Trump offered three-year extensions to some 700,000 so-called “Dreamers,” children brought to the…

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to allow the Trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender troops while litigation over the ban continues, granting the administration a stay. The high court split 5-4 in allowing the plan to take effect, with the court’s five conservatives greenlighting it and its four liberal members saying they would not have. Justices Ginsburg, Breyer,  Sotomayor, and Kagan dissented. A U.S. District Court…

Historians may one day point to Jan. 21, 2019, as the day irony as we know it died.

President Donald Trump has lauded the federal employees furloughed or working without pay due to the partial government shutdown, describing those not getting paid as “great patriots.” Around 800,000 federal workers have gone without pay since the shutdown began on December 22. Now the longest in U.S history, the government closure looks set to drag on further with Trump struggling to reach a funding deal with the Democratic Party. Read…

And Payton said he and the New Orleans Saints will “probably never get over it” after the Rams went on to win…

Video Is debunked Trump-Cohen report a huge blow to BuzzFeed’s credibility? President Trump on Friday night slammed a BuzzFeed News report, which alleges the president has been implicated in a crime, saying its release marked a “very sad day for journalism” after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team released a rare statement claiming the outlet got its facts wrong. Trump went to Twitter to remind his 57.5 million followers that BuzzFeed, an outlet he…

Video Trump: Pelosi is totally controlled by the radical left President Trump on Saturday accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being controlled by the far-left, hours before he is due to make an “important” White House announcement on the partial government shutdown and border security. “She’s being controlled by the radical left, which is a problem, and you know she’s under total control of the radical left. I think that’s…

Video Levin on Buzzfeed Report Being Disputed Special counsel Robert Mueller released a statement late Friday disputing a report by media outlet BuzzFeed and promptly sending the media – which had been trying all day to match the bombshell report claiming President Trump had told his lawyer to lie to Congress –  into a frenzy. BuzzFeed’s initial report this morning cited anonymous sources who accused  Trump of directing attorney Michael Cohen…

The president and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have made it abundantly clear that this is all a performance to them. Trump had two years of Republican control of the House and Senate and failed to prioritize his premier campaign promise: increased border security. A GOP-controlled Congress didn’t pass so much as an e-verify expansion bill, let alone secure funding for his wall. He waited until the eleventh hour before…

President Trump now stands accused of directing his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about Trump’s attempt to court Russian President Vladimir Putin during the campaign and build a hotel in Moscow. After two years of “bombshell” reports that proved duds, and “this is the beginning of the end!!!” declarations from the press, it’s natural to be skeptical of the import of this one. Also, after the biggest…
