CT Congressmen Rip Trump's Turkey Ceasefire
President Trump declared Thursday's ceasefire at the Turkish-Syrian border was "an incredible outcome." But the Republican's assessment was immediately shot down by congressional Democrats from Connecticut. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal tweeted: "The President got rolled, & so did our national integrity. It is yet another betrayal to our Kurdish partners & a boon to our adversaries, Russia & Iran. "This illusory solution is a catastrophic, roundabout way for President Trump to give President Erdogan exactly what he wanted: a Kurdish withdrawal, & free reign over northern Syr…

Sanders Or Warren? Speculation On Ocasio-Cortez 2020 Presidential Primary Endorsement Swirls
She's served as the nation's youngest congresswoman for less than six months. But U.S Rep.. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Yorktown High School graduate who quickly rose to political stardom last year with her upset victory over incumbent Joe Crowley is now a much-sought-after endorser. The fact that a 29-year-old freshman House member is being courted by at least two leading presidential candidates -- U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren -- underscores the dynamics of the primary election season. Both senators are more than twice as old as with many more years of congression…

Mount Kisco's Bill O'Reilly: Republican Politico Works Behind Scenes To Buck Rising Blue Wave
Who's the man behind New York's GOP curtain? This consulting wizard has blue blood in his family roots as a political columnist and campaign strategist. By choice and profession, the Mount Kisco resident, formerly of Scarsdale and Manhattan, remains behind the scenes. As a teenager growing up during the Vietnam and Watergate eras, William F. B. O'Reilly said he was "always curious about politics of the day. The only thing I loved was current events." He said he hid his "nerdy" knack for listening to WINS news radio from his friends who would not have seen it as too cool while they we…

Booker Introduces Bill To Study Slavery Reparations
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has introduced legislation calling for a study of reparations, the policy of compensating the descendants of American slaves first proposed at the end of the Civil War. "I’ve been unapologetic in my belief that this can’t just be about acknowledging the past. It needs to be about actually confronting racist policy that persists right now in the present. Because if we don’t, we cannot guarantee that our future will be any different than our past," said Booker, one of several candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. Some form of…

The Third Time? Chappaqua's Hillary Clinton On 2020 Run: ‘I'm Not Closing The Doors'
Is the third time the charm? Following two failed attempts to make her way into the Oval Office, Chappaqua’s Hillary Clinton is reportedly mulling a third run at the White House. On Sunday, Jan. 27, CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny said that Clinton has begun discussing a third potential presidential bid. Clinton previously ran against Barack Obama in 2008 and infamously lost to current President Donald Trump in 2016. “So Hillary Clinton is telling people that she's not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020,” Zeleny said. “Let's just let that sink in. “I’m …

'800K People Don't Have Paychecks - #WheresMitch?' Says Ocasio-Cortez As She Searches Capitol
Where’s Mitch? Or, on Twitter @AOC, make that #WheresMitch. And it's becoming the Capitol building version of "Where’s Waldo?" for freshman New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been vocally outspoken against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as the federal government shutdown nears one month. Ocasio-Cortez took to social media this week, condemning McConnell and President Donald Trump for their roles in the ongoing shutdown, which is impacting upwards of 800,000 workers, including approximately 114,000 federal employees in the state she represents. “He’s not in the…

Trump Blasts Bloomberg, Gillibrand, Molinaro
President Trump blasted a few New York politicians from both major political parties, while reaping some praise on Gov. Andrew Cuomo. In a White House interview with the New York Post, Trump didn't pull punches when assessing Cuomo's losing GOP challenger -- Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro -- in the Nov. 6 election. Molinaro "made a big mistake because he lost a big chunk of the party when he didn’t embrace Trump,” the president told The Post. “There are a few of them around and they are all right now sitting at home watching television.” Trump, a New Yorker himself, said he has no…
