Jimmy Carter became the oldest living president in American history today. The former one-term president just passed George H.W. Bush, who died last year to be the oldest living president in history. The House Judiciary Committee just announced that it will hold an open hearing next week with Felix Sater, a Russian-American businessman with ties to the Trump organization.
It will follow that hearing, scheduled for Wednesday March 27 with one the next day on “Putin’s Playbook: The Kremlin’s Use of Oligarchs, Money and Intelligence in 2016 and Beyond.”
A new poll of Iowa caucusgoers shows Joe Biden with a large lead in the state.
The poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling on behalf on End Citizens United, only polls a handful of the 2020 presidential contenders.
Joe Biden was at 29% followed by Bernie Sanders at 15%, Elizabeth Warren at 8%, Beto O’Rourke at 7%, Amy Klobuchar at 6%, Kamala Harris at 5% and Cory Booker at 4%.
4% of respondents said they were for “someone else” and 22% were “not sure.”
Freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was savaged by the New York Daily News editorial board today for her attempt to defend her role in torpedoing Amazon’s effort to move to Queens.
Ocasio-Cortez was one of the leading critics of the widely popular deal for the corporate giant to build office in Queens that would create 25,000 jobs.
Even if one forgave Ocasio-Cortez for failing to grasp how the deal worked in the heat of a high-stakes fight — and why should we? She majored in economics — it takes willful ignorance to continue to misrepresent its terms now.
At a community board meeting in Astoria Tuesday night, AOC gave her lengthiest explanation yet of her opposition. It was riddled with falsehoods.
“Are we going to be setting up educational opportunities to get our kids prepared for these jobs?” She asked, then answered her own question: “No.” Actually, Amazon was set to build a new 600-seat school on its campus, and had committed to funding computer science classes in 130 New York City high schools.
“If they didn’t deliver on creating those jobs, there was no penalty for it.” False; no jobs, no tax breaks . . .
Ocasio-Cortez helped kill thousands of jobs. She did it based on myths and lies. She could at least do New York the common courtesy of admitting that.

A number of prominent conservative writers have issued a statement arguing that Republicans cannot return to traditional American conservativism after Trump.A number of prominent conservative writers have issued a statement arguing that Republicans cannot return to traditional American conservativism after Trump.

There is no returning to the pre-Trump conservative consensus that collapsed in 2016. Any attempt to revive the failed conservative consensus that preceded Trump would be misguided and harmful to the right.There is no returning to the pre-Trump conservative consensus that collapsed in 2016.

We give credit where it is due: Consensus conservatism played a heroic role in defeating Communism in the last century, by promoting prosperity at home and the expansion of a rules-based international order. At its best, the old consensus defended the natural rights of Americans and the “transcendent dignity of the human person, as the visible image of the invisible God” (Pope John Paul II, Centesimus Annus) against the depredations of totalitarian regimes.We give credit where it is due: Consensus conservatism played a heroic role in defeating Communism in the last century, by promoting prosperity at home and the expansion of a rules-based international order.

But even during the Cold War, this conservatism too often tracked the same lodestar liberalism did—namely, individual autonomy. The fetishizing of autonomy paradoxically yielded the very tyranny that consensus conservatives claim most to detest . . .But even during the Cold War, this conservatism too often tracked the same lodestar liberalism did—namely, individual autonomy.

Yes, the old conservative consensus paid lip service to traditional values. But it failed to retard, much less reverse, the eclipse of permanent truths, family stability, communal solidarity, and much else. It surrendered to the pornographization of daily life, to the culture of death, to the cult of competitiveness. It too often bowed to a poisonous and censorious multiculturalism.Yes, the old conservative consensus paid lip service to traditional values.

In an effort to balance out the carbon emissions produced by travel activities associated with both himself and his staff, Sanders is partnering with NativeEnergy, a Vermont-based leader in emissions reduction project investments, to support renewable energy projects and invest in carbon reduction projects. Bernie 2020 will also offset event venue and attendee-related emissions.In an effort to balance out the carbon emissions produced by travel activities associated with both himself and his staff, Sanders is partnering with NativeEnergy, a Vermont-based leader in emissions reduction project investments, to support renewable energy projects and invest in carbon reduction projects.
