Donald Trump, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Jared Kushner and the ‘sleazy’ Adam Schiff
And they're off -- that's the tenor of Monday's politics, as Jared Kushner headed to the Senate Intelligence Committee to testify that he did not collude with Russia to sway U.S. elections. And everybody's got an opinion -- but the most surprising so far is from Sen. Chuck Schumer. Published July 24, 2017
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? Published July 24, 2017
Anthony Scaramucci takes the reins with vow to fire leakers
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.

Luis Gutierrez’s threat: ‘Get ready, our movement is coming’
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, the guy whom illegals love, denounced President Donald Trump for immigration controls -- and then some. Read his remarks. This is why the left has the reputation for being deranged. Published July 24, 2017
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. Published July 22, 2017
Anthony Scaramucci moves front and center on media’s hit list
Sean Spicer has resigned. Anthony Scaramucci is the new White House communications director. And the media's many left-leaning, anti-President Donald Trump members, just minutes into the announcement, are already having a field day with the chaos that's ensued. Published July 21, 2017
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
Eric Holder just said President Donald Trump has no cause to question the integrity of special counsel Robert Mueller. Now you know Trump does. A thumbs-up on ethics from Holder is pretty much a red flag for the truly ethical to run. Published July 21, 2017
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. Published July 20, 2017
Baltimore cops, giving police everywhere a bad name
A Baltimore police officer named Richard Pinheiro was caught by his own body camera planting -- allegedly -- illegal drugs at the scene of an arrest. This is beyond ruh-roh. This is egregious, criminal -- and politically hot. Published July 20, 2017
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
Kimber Woods story makes clear: 2nd Amendment saves
Liberals may simply try to wish away the crime -- but a 17-year-old girl's brush with death, and subsequent use of a gun, shows without a doubt that the Second Amendment saves. Published July 20, 2017
Republicans, thy name is mud
Republicans, as a party, are reeling at their most recent failure -- an epic one -- regarding repeal-replace Obamacare. Stumbling seems to be Republicans' new mode of transportation. What's insanely angering about it is they're stumbling over their own roadblocks. Published July 20, 2017
Rosie has her ‘kill Trump’ game — Trump has the White House
Rosie O'Donnell, once-upon-a-time comedian, is pushing a new game for the I-hate-Trump crowd -- a video chance to push him off a cartoon-like cliff. Published July 19, 2017
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
‘Impeach Trump’ in 10 easy steps — latest leftist lunacy
The left's Robert Reich has introduced to the public a handy-dandy 10-step primer to impeach President Donald Trump. Again, with the lunacy. The left just can't help itself. Hatred is all-consuming, as they say. Published July 19, 2017
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. Harris, a la Eric Holder, a la Barack Obama, is a far leftist with a vision of America as an inherently racist, unjust, unfair, misogynist nation. Published July 19, 2017
Al Gore’s frowny face: ‘I was wrong’ on Trump
Al "Hanging Chad-Man' Gore, former failed presidential candidate and former -- equally as failed, some would say -- vice president, has come crawling out of his air conditioned mansion to pick up his climate change manual once again and chide President Donald Trump on national television. His beef? It's hot -- damn hot. Published July 18, 2017
Donald Trump says ‘REPEAL’ first — and all his supporters go, yes!
President Donald Trump called for Republicans to "REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan" from a "clean slate." Yes. This is what conservative voters wanted. This is what conservative voters were promised. Published July 18, 2017
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
