Hillary will reveal that she and her husband underwent “painful” marriage counseling in the aftermath of the scandal.
Bill has become far more controversial on the increasingly puritan left in recent years, with some arguing that his affair with a young intern was inherently exploitative on the basis of his position of power. Bill apologizes to Lewinsky in the documentary, stating that it’s “terrible” their workplace affair “defined her life.”

bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-05--PERSISTING NO MORE: Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren Drops Out of Presidential Race

Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-MA ) has dropped out of the Democrat presidential race following dismal performances in primary contests across the nation .
Warren did not receive higher than a third place finish in any of the primaries or caucuses as Democrats determine who will face President Trump in November .
She even came in third in her home state of Massachusetts on Super Tuesday , which may have been the death blow for her fledgling campaign .
With Warren gone , the only candidates who remain are former Vice President Joe Biden , far-left Sen. Bernie Sanders ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ D-HI ) .
It is essentially a two-man race , as Gabbard has only accumulated one delegate .
The establishment support is rapidly coalescing around Biden , who has regained momentum after a stunning amount of flubs on the campaign trail seemingly doomed his campaign from the start .
At one point , Warren was considered a front-runner with a substantial chance at winning .
She was even briefly atop the polls in November boosted by her strong debate performances .
However , her momentum would soon wane , and she would resort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an attempt to regain lost support .
take our poll - story continues below “ I have two qualifications that I talk about over and over for my Secretary of Education , ” she said in January about her idea to have her Education Secretary vetted by a 9-year-old transgender boy .
She added : “ The first : It has to be someone who ’ s taught in a public school , hello ?
And part 2 , because it came from a young trans person who asked about a welcoming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Secretary of Education who has a lot to do with where we spend our money , with what gets advanced in our public schools , with what the standards are , and I said , ‘ I ’ m going to have a Secretary of Education that this young trans person interviews on my behalf.

At one point, Warren was considered a front-runner with a substantial chance at winning. She was even briefly atop the polls in November boosted by her strong debate performances. However, her momentum would soon wane, and she would resort to the most pathetic instances of pandering in an attempt to regain lost support.
“I have two qualifications that I talk about over and over for my Secretary of Education,” she said in January about her idea to have her Education Secretary vetted by a 9-year-old transgender boy.
She added: “The first: It has to be someone who’s taught in a public school, hello?

Warren also said in order to show her goal to “be committed to diversity and inclusion, starting on Day One,” she would assemble “a Cabinet and senior leadership team that reflects the full diversity of America” while serving as President. This would mean a hiring quota of at least 50 percent of Cabinet positions “filled by women and nonbinary people” in order to ensure “representation of LGBTQ+ people across all levels of government, including in leadership roles.”
She also posted this Tweet earlier this week, referring to “Latinx and Chicano history” in her latest diversity pander:

Unfortunately for Warren, all of the pandering did not pay off and only turned off voters from her campaign even more. She is expected to endorse either Biden or Sanders in the upcoming days, a no-win move that will inevitably anger many Democrats.

A 15-year-old student and their mother are filing a lawsuit in federal court alleging that a school district discriminated against them for not using their preferred pronouns during counseling services .
They filed the lawsuit against Bethlehem Area School District and Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 in Easton , Penn .
The lawsuit also names Randy Alan Herzon , who works at IU 20 as a licensed counselor , and James McDonald , who works as the director of behavioral health services at IU 20 and is a licensed social worker .
The 15-year-old student , who claims they are “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they were “ repeatedly tormented and abused ” because of wrong pronoun usage .
Because the student identifies as “ non-binary , ” this means their gender can change on any given day .
The student ’ s identity is not named in the lawsuit , and they are referred to only as “ Roe.
” The lawsuit blames the student ’ s gender dysphoria , the mental illness underlying transgenderism , for worsening because of abuse by faculty officials .

He says that an internal investigation found no evidence of any “ insensitivity ” that occurred toward the student and believes the law does not cover so-called discrimination toward nonbinary individuals .
“ We found no evidence that this student who identifies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Freund said in a statement .
“ Moreover , the law does not appear to have evolved to the point where discrimination based on gender orientation itself creates a viable cause of action.

The lawsuit alleges that guidance counselor Herzon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pronouns because he was “ from a generation that does not believe in these pronouns ” and considered it an affront to the English language .

Solicitor John Freund, who represents Bethlehem Area and IU 20, denies the claims made in the lawsuit. He says that an internal investigation found no evidence of any “insensitivity” that occurred toward the student and believes the law does not cover so-called discrimination toward nonbinary individuals.
“We found no evidence that this student who identifies as nonbinary/trans was disrespected in anyway,” Freund said in a statement. “Moreover, the law does not appear to have evolved to the point where discrimination based on gender orientation itself creates a viable cause of action.”

“Defendants acted maliciously, intentionally, and/or recklessly as defendants know that bullying an LGBT person can lead to the person’s suicide,” the lawsuit states.
Although the student is enrolled at the Northampton Area School District, they received counseling services through the Colonial Intermediate Unit at Freedom High.

The LGBT agenda is out of control, and frivolous lawsuits are just one tool activists use to keep sanity out of the public square.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-05--New Jersey Public Schools are Set to Promote LGBT Degeneracy in Class Curricula

The Federalist John Hanna of reported on New Jersey ’ s new policy to teach LGBT ideology in every subject of public school curriculum .
Last year , New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a law that mandates the teaching of LGBT material in public school matters , which is set to begin in the 2020-2021 school year .
The activist organization Garden State Equality has set up a curriculum , which is currently being rolled out in 12 New Jersey schools and planned to be implemented across the state in the fall .
This is consistent with Murphy ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s 2019 Ball , he stated , “ I applaud Garden State Equality for not only leading this effort , but for your continued work in helping to craft this curriculum.
” Garden State Equality ( GSE ) is an LGBT advocacy group devoted to spreading its vision of “ justice ” based on an LGBT perspective throughout society .
Hanna details what GSE has in store for public schools : Consistent with its vision , GSE ’ s self-described “ LGBT-inclusive ” curriculum spans all subjects — math , English , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visual and performing arts , and world languages — beginning in fifth grade .
Having New Jersey ’ s 1.4 million public school students see the world through a LGBT lens is the goal in every class and , thus , now the goal of public education .
This is well in excess of the curriculum law ’ s vague requirements .
This law gives groups like GSE tools to see its vision through by having gender and sexual ideology seep through the curriculum .
GSA views its curriculum “ as a model @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state in the nation.
” take our poll - story continues below Naturally , this measure has been met with resistance from grassroots parent coalitions throughout New Jersey who are concerned about LGBT propaganda entering public school curriculum .
Given how deeply blue the state is , these efforts may prove to be futile .
This is one of many reasons to completely overturn the current public education status quo and revert to more traditional models of non-state education .
Parents should not have to put with their kids being subjected to LGBT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leftist propaganda promoting social degeneracy .

At Garden State Equality’s 2019 Ball, he stated, “I applaud Garden State Equality for not only leading this effort, but for your continued work in helping to craft this curriculum.”
Garden State Equality (GSE) is an LGBT advocacy group devoted to spreading its vision of “justice” based on an LGBT perspective throughout society.
Hanna details what GSE has in store for public schools:
Consistent with its vision, GSE’s self-described “LGBT-inclusive” curriculum spans all subjects — math, English, social studies, health, science, visual and performing arts, and world languages — beginning in fifth grade. Having New Jersey’s 1.4 million public school students see the world through a LGBT lens is the goal in every class and, thus, now the goal of public education. This is well in excess of the curriculum law’s vague requirements.
This law gives groups like GSE tools to see its vision through by having gender and sexual ideology seep through the curriculum. GSA views its curriculum “as a model that we can bring to every other state in the nation.”
Naturally, this measure has been met with resistance from grassroots parent coalitions throughout New Jersey who are concerned about LGBT propaganda entering public school curriculum. Given how deeply blue the state is, these efforts may prove to be futile.
This is one of many reasons to completely overturn the current public education status quo and revert to more traditional models of non-state education.
Parents should not have to put with their kids being subjected to LGBT content that will most assuredly morph into leftist propaganda promoting social degeneracy.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-05--Josh Hawley Introduces Measure to Censure Chuck Schumer After Threatening SCOTUS Justices

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions is hoping to get his U.S. Senate seat back and is fighting against a crowded field to be the Republican nominee to oppose incumbent Democrat Doug Jones in November .
Sessions is running as a Trump loyalist , eschewing his complicated past with the President while noting that he has never said a bad word about the man after leaving the administration .
“ I ’ ll have a better relationship .
I know what he campaigned on .
I was with him at those rallies .
I saw how people reacted to his strength @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ ll win again , ” Sessions said of Trump on Tuesday morning .
The primary battle concludes today , and Sessions is going up against former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville , former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore , U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne , Rep. Arnold Mooney , activist Ruth Page Nelson , and businessman Stanley Adair .
take our poll - story continues below While Sessions has refused to say anything against President Trump , the President has criticized Sessions immensely for recusing himself as Attorney General during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at what ’ s happening over at the Justice Department , now we have a great attorney general .
Whereas before that , with Jeff Sessions , it was a disaster .
Just a total disaster .
He was an embarrassment to the great state of Alabama , ” Trump said last year .
“ And I put him there because he endorsed me , and he wanted it so badly .
And I wish he ’ d never endorsed me , ” he added .
“ The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else .
So much time and money wasted , so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion !
” Trump wrote in a tweet back in June 2018 when Sessions was still the AG .
Regardless of Trump ’ s displeasure with Sessions ’ performance as AG , Sessions has continued to praise his former boss for “ relentlessly and actually honoring the promises he made to the American people.
” “ That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him , ” he said .
Despite their differences , Trump has largely stayed out of the U.S. Senate race .
He even posted a poll in January that showed Sessions leading the pack , indicating that the two men may be close to mending fences .
“ President Trump loves Alabama — and Alabama loves our president .
Alabama gave President Trump one of his biggest margins of victory in 2016 , and as this and other polls have shown , Republican voters in Alabama solidly back Jeff Sessions in the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manager Jon Jones .
“ It ’ s easy for politicians to talk big now , but when the chips were down in 2016 , Senator Jeff Sessions was President Trump ’ s strongest ally .
Jeff Sessions is the conservative fighter Alabama needs in Washington , helping to advance the Trump agenda in the U.S. Senate , ” Jones added .
Sessions ’ political future will be determined on Tuesday based on whether the people of Alabama choose his proven record or prefer somebody new to challenge the incumbent Democrat in November @

Josh Hawley Introduces Measure to Censure Chuck Schumer After Threatening SCOTUS Justices
Missouri US Senator Josh Hawley plans on introducing a measure to formally censure Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, after the head Democrat threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in unprecedented terms.
Hawley confirmed his plans to bring up a formal censure motion on Wednesday night. Schumer had aggressively threatened the Supreme Court Justices earlier in the day, stating that the Trump appointees were going to face consequences for their rulings upholding restrictions on abortions in conservative states.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh…. You have unleashed the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Schumer’s remarks were so vitriolic that they merited a formal rebuke from the court’s Chief Justice, John Roberts.
BREAKING from Chief Justice Roberts: pic.twitter.com/qO5PuHgLjr — Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) March 4, 2020
Schumer refused to back down in light of widespread rebuke of his attack on the Supreme Court. He claims that Roberts is merely one of several conservative hacks on the court, and is colluding with conservatives to make him look bad.
President Donald Trump tweeted on Schumer’s anti-judicial threats on Wednesday, perhaps suggesting that he’d be on board with Hawley’s upcoming effort to censure the Senate Majority Leader.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1235370217712300038
Democrats’ longtime strategy of achieving unlimited power over American society through the unlimited power of judicial activist-princes seems to have been ground to a halt by President Trump’s appointments to the federal court system, confirming a wide range of conservative judges to circuit courts as well as the two Supreme Court Justices Schumer threatened. As it becomes increasingly clear that Democrats are not going to get their way in undemocratic fashion through the court system, it could become far more common for the Left to threaten and agitate against duly appointed judges such as Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

In December of last year, China’s Communist Party (CCP) unveiled the new “Administrative Measures for Religious Groups“. The measures went into effect on February 1, 2020 and demand that religious organizations promote the CCP and its ideology, per a report from Bitter Winter, a magazine covering religious liberty and human rights in China.
According to article 17 of the newly rolled-out measures:
Religious organizations shall spread the principles and policies of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as national laws, regulations, and rules, to religious staff and religious citizens, and educate and guide religious staff and religious citizens to support the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, support the socialist system, and adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics…
“In practice, your religion no longer matters, if you are Buddhist, or Taoist, or Muslim or Christian: the only religion allowed is faith in the Chinese Communist Party,” a Catholic priest stated.
The new administrative measures have been packaged with a re-invigorated educational indoctrination program. Bitter Winter points out that in one city schoolchildren were instructed to sign pledges to stay abstain from religious practices. Their parents were sent letters explaining that children cannot be religious “because they are unable to think independently, as they are at a critical stage of development, both physically and mentally, which is crucial for establishing correct outlook on the world, life, and values.”
Additionally, according to Bitter Winter:
“A variety of government-issued documents order schools ‘to make the most of the adolescence’ and ‘increase anti-religious publicity’ by organizing meetings for students and using broadcasts, bulletins, and other means, to achieve ‘the goal of planting anti-religious thoughts into young students’ minds and hearts’… Anti-religious propaganda is also extended to students’ families and society at large, as communities are encouraged to get involved in the indoctrination of the young ‘by setting examples and influencing each other.'”

Brigham Young University ( BYU ) dropped a section of their code of conduct concerning LGBTQ realtionships within the student body .

The New Mexico supreme court has determined by a 4-1 decision to restore Republican Congressional candidate Anise Golden Morper to the ballot after the state ’ s liberal Secretary of State attempted to toss her from the 3rd District race .
New Mexico secretary of state Maggie Toulouse Oliver , a far-left Democrat , attempted to toss Morper from the ballot , alleging that Morper ’ s campaign used improper forms to collect signatures .

New Mexico Congressional Hopeful Defeats Liberal Secretary of State’s Ruling to Keep Her Off the Ballot
The New Mexico supreme court has determined by a 4-1 decision to restore Republican Congressional candidate Anise Golden Morper to the ballot after the state’s liberal Secretary of State attempted to toss her from the 3rd District race.
New Mexico secretary of state Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a far-left Democrat, attempted to toss Morper from the ballot, alleging that Morper’s campaign used improper forms to collect signatures. Morper maintained that her campaign used the forms printed off of the state website and was completely lawful in her conduct.
“It’s really up to the voters who they want to represent them. Let’s leave it up to the voters,” Morper said while the case was ongoing. “I believe that they have a fear that I can beat their Democrat nominee, and therefore they are attempting to remove me so I cannot be a threat and there’s no chance for me to win this seat.
“It’s unfair game playing. If the field was equal, we would allow everyone’s petitions to be seen, especially if the signatures were valid,” she added.
The state supreme court found Morper’s arguments to be convincing, and they in turn ordered for the district court to vacate their previous order disqualifying Morper and entered in a new order directing the Secretary of State to allow her on the ballots.
Morper talked to Big League Politics about the challenges that have resulted from the Secretary of State attempting to torpedo her rising campaign.
“In a way, it set me back, but in another way, it was amazing the support I had, and to see the people that wanted their voices heard,” she told Big League Politics.
“It was bittersweet because I was moving in a certain direction and had to divert attention away from running my campaign, but it was more sweet than bitter because of the support of the people,” she added.
Morper sees the fight as being more than about her campaign and having broader 1st Amendment implication. She felt that all of the people who signed her petitions had their voices nullified by the secretary of state’s unjust order that was overturned.
“We have a right to petition the government, and that’s what this case was all about,” she explained. “It wasn’t just me who won. This was a victory for the 1st Amendment.”
Morper explained that this victory is emblematic of how she will successfully defend the rights of the people once she elected in Washington D.C.
“I am the strongest candidate. I am the candidate that will take on big government and to protect the Constitutional rights of the people,” she said.
Following the New Mexico supreme court ruling, Morper is back on the ballot for the 3rd Congressional race, which is an open seat due to the departure of influential Democrat Rep. Ben Ray Luján, who is running for U.S. Senate. Morper’s GOP primary opponents include Navajo Nation member Karen Bedonie, cattle rancher Audra Brown, former Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya, and engineer Alexis Johnson.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-06--Liberals to Celebrate International Women’s Day Knowing There Will Be No Female President in 2020

International Women ’ s Day is coming up on Sunday , Mar .

With Sens .
Amy Klobuchar ( D-MN ) and Elizabeth “ Pocahontas ” Warren ( D-MA ) bowing out of the race over the past week , that leaves Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ( D-HI ) as the last woman in the presidential race .
With Gabbard receiving roughly 1 percent of support from Democrats , this means that – barring some kind of miracle – there will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of this year ’ s election cycle .
Empowered liberal women , of course , are blaming sexism on the fact that their crop of female candidates could not cut it .
Trending : College Republican Official Fired After Allegedly ‘ Inspecting ’ Genitals of Male Students at CPAC “ Every time I get introduced as the most powerful woman , I almost cry , because I wish that were not true , ” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) said after Warren dropped out of the presidential race .

“ I do think there ’ s a certain element of misogyny.

Jackie Speier ( D-CA ) told Politico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that America has not chosen a woman to go to the White House , regardless of their respective qualifications .
“ What privilege is , is that white men get to be the default , they get to be the regular , they get to be the fallback position .
And then everybody else … is the other , is the exception , is the risk , ” said Aimee Allison , co-founder of She the People , a group that agitates for racial and gender quotas in politics .
Another feminist activist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too evil and sexist for the Democrats to be able to put up a female contender .
“ The Democratic electorate has never stopped second-guessing ourselves about how we could have averted the disastrous Donald Trump presidency , ” said Heather McGee , a distinguished senior fellow at Demos Action who endorsed Warren for President .
“ So , yes , misogyny has played a role in 2020 — not because Democratic voters were too misogynistic to vote for a woman , but because we are too aware that the rest of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , from Trump to Brett Kavanaugh to bans on abortion , ” she added .

Congressman Ken Buck Challenges Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke To Confiscate His AR-15
Colorado Congressman Ken Buck challenged Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke to enact gun confiscation policies on an AR-15 rifle Buck keeps in his Washington, D.C office, displaying the weapon in a video on his Twitter feed Friday morning.
I have just one message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one? Come and take it. #2A pic.twitter.com/jG2SiXetov — Congressman Ken Buck (@RepKenBuck) March 6, 2020
Anti-gun liberals fumed in the responses of Buck’s video, apparently under the false impression that the American-flag decorated AR was loaded. It’s quite obvious the weapon is intended for display and ceremonial purposes at the congressional office.
Buck has clarified that the rifle has been rendered inoperable, allowing him to receive permission from Capital police to take it into his office. Washington D.C has an assault weapons ban. Thus, the liberals that thought Buck was violating rules of gun safety by removing the weapon from the wall were unaware it’s harmless.
Liberals such as O’Rourke have claimed defiance to planned gun confiscation attempts on their part represent some sort of extremism, while ignoring the reality that actively confiscating legally owned guns from law-abiding Americans is as extreme and anti-constitutional as it gets.
Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, has stated he’s going to rely upon the infamously anti-gun rights O’Rourke to “take care of the gun problem for him.”
O’Rourke was one of the few Democrats to run for President with the stated policy desire of actively confiscating semiautomatic rifles from every American in “mandatory buybacks.” For Biden to actively defer to him on gun policy shows he’d be willing to consider policy on the matter from the extreme liberal fringe of the Democratic Party, outpacing even democratic socialist Bernie Sanders in hostility to gun rights.

About $300 million, the bulk of UFC’s 350 million cash reserve, went to one-time dividend payments to the company’s high profile team of investors, which is made up of actor Mark Wahlberg, actress Charlize Theron and model Gisele Bündchen.
White has been in charge of the UFC since 2001. He is expected to receive more than $3 million from the windfall, according to sources close to The New York Post.
Former UFC fighters are livid about this given White’s reputation for being a profligate spender. In a 2012 report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, White tipped dealers over $100,000 at Vegas’ Palms Casino Resort.
“I heard about Dana tipping a waitress $10,000 and that was my wage as a fighter,” stated former UFC fighter Kyle Kingsbury. “I lived in my mom’s garage and I had two jobs when I was fighting in the UFC. I was a personal trainer and a bouncer [and] bartender in a strip club.”
