Jim Justice swap of ‘D’ to ‘R’ shows Trump Effect not a fluke
Democrats have long been trying to paint President Donald Trump as little more than a fluke -- an aberration, really. But West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice's switch is a rubber-stamp recognition of the power of the little people, the same power that drove Trump into office. Published August 4, 2017

Iran’s ties to U.S. universities — an infiltration to fear
Rep. Dan Donovan wants the feds to look into some curious grants given to the likes of Columbia, Harvard and Princeton that came from a foundation with a pro-Iran, anti-Israel slant. This is an investigation that should definitely go forth, and the sooner, the far better. Published August 3, 2017

Hillary Clinton, face of ‘Scandals Filed, But Not Forgotten’

Rush Limbaugh blamed for Trump by race-baiting MSNBC’s Joy Reid
Joy Reid, MSNBC's hostess with the mostest on all things race-baiting -- who, for example, recently expressed reserved and "delicate" hope for Rep. Steve Scalise's gun wound recovery because of his record "on race" -- blamed voter racism and anger, fueled by talk show powerhouse Rush Limbaugh, for the rise of President Donald Trump. As if conservatives are cattle and can't think for themselves. Published August 2, 2017

Hollywood haters: U.S. ‘land of lunatics,’ Trump ‘moron’

Lindsey Graham, man with the repeal plan: I’m ‘1,000 percent with Donald Trump’
Lindsey Graham is today's Republican man with the plan -- the guy who's stepping forward in the Senate to say: "I am, like, 1,000 percent with Donald Trump" on Obamacare. Smart move. He's tested the political winds of moving on from Obamacare repeal and found them lacking. Published August 1, 2017
Jeff Flake tips elitist, RINO hat with anti-Trump book
Sen. Jeff Flake, part of the emerging breed of American Republican, the one that's called Democrat, bypassed that whole mainstream media thing and forged a brand new path of blasting President Donald Trump as a subpar leader -- by writing a whole book about it. Right. Why do the 30-second television anti-Trump spot when you can go on for 140 pages? Published August 1, 2017
Eric Trump’s head-thumping call to conservatives
Eric Trump said on national television in an interview on Fox News that one of his biggest wishes was for someone to start fighting for his father. He's absolutely right.

Donald Trump’s call to cut Congress’ perks an about-time moment
President Donald Trump set the nation's tongues a-wagging with a couple of recent tweets that suggested if Congress failed to repeal Obamacare, then congressional members would lose their own cushy health care subsidies.

Nikki Haley: ‘Done talking’ about North Korea
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley sent out some strong messaging via Twitter about North Korea, telling the world of social media readers that the time of simply tough talking was nearing an end.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, New York Democrat, has found a new fight -- and fast-food wrapper is thy name. He wants the feds to investigate them. And not just fast-food wrappers. Cups and cartons, too.
