First Anthony Scaramucci -- now Jeff Sessions. The attorney general -- the one whose come under fire by President Donald Trump for recusing himself weeks ago from all-things-Russia tied to the 2016 election -- is about to get hot on criminal leakers. This can only be a boon to the White House.

Hillary Clinton, of "I Should've Won the White House!" fame, apparently isn't content to deliver 10- and 20-second talking points from her national podium about the dang Russians who worked with President Donald Trump to give him that presidential title. She's gotta write a book about it, too.

Psychiatrists agree: It’s OK to smear Trump

A noted psychiatrists' association put out a memo to members to suggest it's quite OK for them to publicly comment on President Donald Trump's mental state -- the heck with a longstanding "Goldwater rule" prohibiting such opining. And the circle of sharks about Trump's White House grows wider.

California imam should be watched; his Islamic center monitored

A California imam who was captured on video calling for the annihilation of Jews ought to be investigated for subversive behaviors. And the Islamic center that welcomed his sermon? That site should be infiltrated with counterterror authorities.

Wisconsin company signs up workers to take human microchips

A Wisconsin company is asking employees if they want to get a microchip implanted in their hands, in the space between the thumb and forefinger.

Donald Trump’s right: It’s a sewer, not a swamp

President Donald Trump tweeted in the lead-up to Jared Kushner's widely waited for Senate-Russia testimony that it's not a swamp he's trying to drain. It's a sewer. And yes indeed, that description is much more apt.

Jeb Bush rallies Republicans to scold Donald Trump on Russia

Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, former presidential hopeful and former loud critic of President Donald Trump, has stepped back into the political arena to call out his fellow Republicans as hypocrites -- for not publicly condemning Trump. Sigh. Why do entrenched Republicans insist on picking public fights with fellow GOPers?

Anthony Scaramucci, new White House communications director, apparently ain't playing. When asked by CBS "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson what would happen to leakers and whistleblowers under Scaramucci's watch, the newbie fired off this reply: "They're going to get fired." Good.

Linda Sarsour: Even CNN’s Jake Tapper sees your deceptions

Linda Sarsour, defender of all things Islam and hater of all things President Donald Trump, has apparently gone a bit too far with her radical rhetoric, and raised the eyebrows of even those on the left -- of even some of her once-staunch supporters.

Democrats shun ‘resistance’ to become Party of Pizza

Democrats, party of election-time failure, have decided their "resistance" slogan isn't doing them any good and have adopted a new tag line they hope will wing them across the finish line come 2018. It's from the pizza commercial, Papa John's.

Joe Biden, drunk on capitalism, charging big bucks for signed books

Joe Biden, the same guy who served under one of America's most rabid wealth distributors in modern political times -- Barack Obama -- and the same guy who presents as oh so very much concerned with the plight of the middle class, has taken a fat cat step toward Profit Lane.
