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.

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. Published July 21, 2017

Eric Holder gives Robert Mueller the stamp of approval on ethics

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

Baltimore cops, giving police everywhere a bad name

John McCain: In cancer, he unites

Now, even those who can't stand his politics -- who've fought him tooth and nail over policy, legislation, RINO-ism and globalism -- wish him well, hope for the best and send him prayers. This is how God works: through struggles, a light. Published July 20, 2017

Republicans, thy name is mud

Rand Paul, atop white horse, rescues Obamacare PR

Republicans are having a head-hanging moment, to be sure, on Obamacare. So it's with no small measure of relief that Sen. Rand Paul has seemingly rode in on a white horse, to give the party a new public relations message on Obamacare that keeps Republicans afloat. Published July 19, 2017

Sen. Kamala D. Harris

Kamala Harris: ‘She’s running for president. Take it to the bank’

Democrats are in a tizzy about their latest and brightest prospect for the 2020 White House -- Kamala Harris, the senator from California. Make way for the next social justice warrior.

White House dead wrong on asset forfeitures

President Donald Trump may be doing a lot of good for America, particularly in terms of putting the nation first on the international stage and its citizens, not special interests, first in the domestic arena. But on asset forfeiture laws, this White House is wrong. Dead wrong, completely wrong, egregiously wrong. Published July 18, 2017
