Hillary Clinton still blaming press, Russia, FBI

Hillary Clinton, who lost the presidential election, just can't quite seem to get it through her head -- that she lost the presidential election. In a recent interview with New York Magazine, she told the writer she should've won -- she would've won -- had it not been for those dang, pesky Russians.

Maxine Waters: Less lawmaker, more circus act

Rep. Maxine Waters, once again, has gone on national television to talk about impeaching President Donald Trump -- to double down that time's a-tickin' and Americans are weary of waiting. This is a woman who has been blinded by hate.

Republican senators slow-walk Obamacare, fearing failure

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Obamacare is going to be tough to repeal and that the bill he's bringing to the floor for vote probably won't meet voters' expectations. And with that, out the window flew any grand vision the GOP held for 2018.

Democrats’ dangerous dance with terrorists

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly went on national television recently and made this somewhat chilling remark: "If [Americans] knew what I knew about terrorism, [they'd] never leave the house in the morning." It's just that kind of frightening head thump on reality that makes one wonder: So why are so many leftists in this nation heck-bent on keeping borders open?

4th Circuit’s Russian roulette roll of the border

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit shot down yet another attempt by President Donald Trump to control and limit travelers to this country from terror hot spots in the world. It's like the panel just can't get enough of Russian roulette -- the game that's basically being played with America's border security and the open door approach the left wants to keep intact, regardless of terror and security concerns.

Mark Zuckerberg’s radical, socialist global tax idea

Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, has made his money -- his billions of dollars in a short span of time -- and now? Now, he wants yours. How? He pitched a global tax idea to Harvard graduations, a way of giving every man, woman and child a set amount of money for the simple reason of being born.

Greg Gianforte, Montana GOPer, gives new meaning to ‘losing it’

Greg Gianforte, Montana's Republican hopeful for the congressional seat vacated by Ryan Zinke -- who's now President Donald Trump's secretary of Interior -- had a little bit of an altercation with one of the reporters who questioned him at his campaign headquarters in Bozeman. And given the special election is Thursday, one might say the unpleasantries came at a quite inopportune time. Moreover, altercation is probably an understatement.

Bob Woodward, Watergate fame, bemoans media’s ‘smugness’

Bob Woodward, one of the legendary Washington Post journalists who broke Watergate said reporters ought to tread carefully, or face the risk of tripping over their own smug attitudes. That's a pretty apt summary of the nastiness and snark that passes as Investigative Reporting, and Hard Journalism these days.

The Associated Press fires freelancer for anti-Trump post

The Associated Press, in a near-unprecedented move for a mainstream news outlet, fired a freelance journalist it employed after it was discovered she posted anti-Donald Trump remarks on her Facebook page in 2016 -- and then sneaked into a closed Republican event and reported negatively on Kellyanne Conway.

Katy Perry’s delusional hug-a-terrorist approach

Katy Perry, pop star-turned-Hillary Clinton-gal-Friday-turned-anti-Trumpeteer, offered up the bubble of all bubble responses to the terror attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester that left adults and kids alike dead and injured -- and it went something like this: All we need is love.

John Brennan’s Russian-Trump testimony big nothingburger

John Brennan, former CIA director, said during congressional testimony this week that Russian officials most definitely tried to interfere in America's 2016 elections, and that he was concerned they may have recruited some of President Donald Trump's aides to help with the sabotage. More conjecture, suggestion and innuendo, once again. Nothing factual to show that Trump worked with Russia to steal the election.

Milo erupts on Ariana as ‘too stupid,’ too ‘pro-Islam’

Milo Yiannopoulos, conservative writer, went on a rant against Ariana Grande on his Facebook account, calling out the pop star for her naive views of Islam. But the slam is perhaps a bit unfair. After all, Grande isn't the policy-maker for open borders and red-carpet roll-outs to migrants from terror hot spots.

Trump budget a good step in pro-taxpayer direction

President Donald Trump is proposing in his "New Foundation for American Greatness" plan some of the largest cuts to government programs the country's seen in a decade, including a provision that will reign in debt and cut spending by $3.6 trillion over the next ten years. Of course, the left is already crying.
