The Valiant David Brock
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen David Brock criticizes Bernie for being too hard on Hillary it almost sounds like he wants to give her a handicap.

This is the man whose ethics the Los Angeles Times questioned back in 2004…

Democratic Establishment Rallies Around U.S. Foreign Policy
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor Gloria Steinem, Madeleine Albright, and members of Congress, this election is all about gender. Gloria Steinem was trying to explain why young women support Bernie Sanders and she came up with this: they support him because his campaign is where the boys are. ((https://newrepublic.com/minutes/129335/feminist-gloria-steinem-says-young-women-support-bernie-want-attention-boys)) Madeline Albright started out with the claim…
