Tuesday on MSNBC, contributor Eddie Glaude ranted that President Trump was appealing to racism and “whiteness” by talking about the migrant caravan as “invaders” this close to the midterms and feared that “white children” would learn to be racists from the President. The MSNBC panel even tied in the immigration talk to the recent violent hate crimes at a Pittsburgh synagogue and a Kroger grocery…

On Morning Joe, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic says "I note for the record that they're [Fox News] talking about leprosy. Which I think is interesting, because leprosy, of course, is the most famous disease in the Bible. And I think they are trying to actually trigger people who are Bible-readers, who are religious people."

At this point, is Michael Bloomberg really anywhere near the center? The Washington Post pretended it was so on Sunday in a Michael Scherer article titled "A political aberration courts the Democratic nomination." To be a stitch to the right of today's Democratic Party is not the "center," just like being a stitch to the right of the ultraliberals in Manhattan is not the "center." 

Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke has touted the fact that he is supported by his own mother. He has falsely claimed that she was a “lifelong Republican” before his candidacy. But as CNN points out, his mother has actually “voted in Democratic primaries in 15 of the last 17 primary elections she has participated” in, including Democratic presidential primaries “in 2000, 2008, 2012,…

In more than 30 states, the percentage of adult Latinos who are U.S. citizens and thus eligible to vote in the country’s mid-term congressional elections falls within the 40-55% range. In other words, any honest voter mobilization effort among the U.S. Hispanic population should be clear about the uniform U.S. citizenship requirement for voting in federal elections, and avoid making generalized…

Upon receiving some accolade for acting or whatever, actor James Cromwell took his opportunity at the podium to promote political civility, and by political civility, we mean threaten that there will be an actual bloodbath should Americans refuse to vote Democrat this November.  

During an interview with actress Kerry Washington on Monday’s Today show, co-host Craig Melvin asked the left-wing activist what it was like “raising children in the world that we live in now, in the country that we live in right now?” Predictably, Washington seized the chance to urge her fellow liberals to get out to vote in the midterm elections.

Viewers who tuned in for The Big Bang Theory’s October 25 episode “The Imitation Perturbation" were treated to more than the story arc of the week, namely the feuds surrounding couples impersonating each other for Halloween. Those who watched until the very last second may have noticed a very political "vanity card" for Chuck Lorre’s Productions that blasted President Trump as "a fascist, hate-…

Howard Dean, appearing on Joy Reid's MSNBC show, did today. Dean cast the battle between Democrats and Republicans as "a struggle about good versus evil, and the President of the United States is evil."

MSNBC Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace appeared on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday evening where the former Republican operative urged voters to vote Democrat to flip the House and the Senate to protect the country from President Trump. Wallace also claimed the media was too afraid to blame President Trump for the recent series of suspicious packages mailed to prominent…

On MTP Daily, Chuck Todd floats a novel theory about who is behind the pipe bombs: "I have this fear that it could be some Russian operation, too, designed to do what's happening now. More of this -- so in some ways we should not rule out -- it is dividing us."

Is it more than coincidence that thousands of migrants from Central America are seeking to enter the United States illegally just two weeks before the midterm election? Who are these people? Who's paying for their transportation, food and expenses? Why doesn't the media find out? Is this migrant caravan a ploy by Democrats to win sympathy from Hispanic voters so they'll reverse their growing…

WASHINGTON — The midterm elections are fast approaching. All sorts of forecasts are coming out. Oddly enough, no one has asked me what I think the outcome might be. You might remember I disgraced myself in the last election by prophesying that Donald J. Trump would win. I predicted him to be the winner back in the summer of 2016. I predicted his victory throughout the fall.
