Jason Chaffetz’s right: Where’s the memo, James Comey?

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, in a Thursday "Good Morning America" interview, wondered aloud where the now-famous James Comey memos were -- and whether the fired FBI director really was going to release them for public viewing. These are good questions. The American public has a right to see the so-called evidence being used to take down President Donald Trump.

James Comey: Higher-ups never asked for halt to FBI investigations

John McCain, self-proclaimed Republican but not-so-secret Democrat, came out in full force against his own party's president, saying the many scandals rocking the White House lately are reaching "Watergate" proportions.

Kara McCullough, Miss USA, changes tune, calls health care ‘a right’

Well, that didn't last long, did it? Social media had been afire with news of the newest Miss USA, black Washington, D.C., representative Kara McCullough, and her conservative viewpoints -- most particularly, the one that went like this: Health care is not a right, but rather a privilege. Fast-forward a few short hours and her mantra now goes: Oops. My bad. I meant health care is indeed a right.

Black UCSC student activists ought to be expelled

Radical black students who are part of "The African/Black Student Alliance on the University of California's Santa Cruz recently stormed one of the campus buildings, tossed out staffers and set up camp, announcing intent to stay unless their list of special interest demands were met.

Jeff Sessions’ law and order memo likely to irk left

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, with one quick stroke of the pen, overturned some lax criminal policies of the previous Barack Obama administration -- the ones that said certain suspects ought to only be charged with minimum offenses. Get ready: The lawsuits from the left are sure to come.
