Last year, when President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate agreement on the grounds that it was enormously punitive to the United States while giving major polluters such as China and India a free pass, French president Emmanuel Macron could not contain himself. He unloaded on President Trump’s decision, in a smug, self-righteous display of moral superiority. But these days, he’s...

…please read this excerpt from Libby Berry’s article in the Boston Globe, and you’ll have your answer: A report issued by the Committee on House Administration in early 2018 revealed that nearly $300,000 of taxpayer money has been spent settling sexual harassment or sex discrimination claims against member-led offices since 2003. The calls for reform began late last year after...
The New York Times seems to think it’s got the goods on President Trump. And what is the deciding factor? The straw that will break the Donald’s back? The final nail in his presidential coffin? It’s…… ……that he is accused of paying hush money to two women so they wouldn’t talk about having sex with him. What? were you waiting for something...
Sharyl Attkisson was an award-winning (5 Emmys, among other awards) investigative reporter for CBS News…until she started investigating both sides of the political aisle, at which time CBS determined that her services were no longer required. Since then, she has continued to write, her efforts including a best-selling book, “Stonewalled”. Now she has written an extensive...
From an article at Fox News, we have this summary of how forthcoming former FBI Director James Comey was in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week: Outgoing House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte said Sunday it was “truly stunning” to hear former FBI Director James Comey claim he doesn’t know or “can’t recall” answers to nearly 250...
Today’s quote comes to us from rob reiner, one of the many hollywood types who think their political views mean a thing to anyone other than themselves and their likeminded nodding-in-agreement brigade. reiner has a history of hate-filled, profanity-laced comments about President Trump that leave fellow hater robert de niro in the dust. Here is his latest, in the form of two tweets about...
Is Emmanuel Macron about to be the ex-President of France? The answer to that question is probably no. But the fact that it can be asked at all, and the fact that the answer is “probably” rather than “definitely” no, says something about what is going on there. Excerpted from a video-laden article at sky.com, we have this: More than 1,700 people were arrested across...
According to Merriam-Webster, the word “defraud” means “To deprive of something by deception or fraud”. With the above in mind, the the question in this blog title might seem absurd on its face. Name one office-seeker who did not talk up his/her good points and minimize his/her bad points, while doing the opposite to describe his/her opponent. I dare you. So why...
Did Senator and possible 2020 presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, know that Larry Wallace, her senior aide – at her side for 14 years – was accused of serial bullying and humiliating behavior toward his executive assistant, Danielle Hartley,? That Ms. Hartley sued the state Department of Justice within two days of Ms. Harris assuming her senatorial duties? That, months later...
Let’s start with the first three paragraphs of Adam Goldman and Sharon LaFraniere’s article in yesterday’s New York Times: Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, lied to federal investigators about his contacts with Trump administration officials and his interactions with a Russian linked to Moscow’s intelligence services, the special counsel’s office...
Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke was the Democrat candidate for U. S. senator from Texas this year. He ran against incumbent Republican Ted Cruz. O’Rourke lost. But it wasn’t for lack of funding, that’s for sure. He raised an astonishing $80 million dollars for his unsuccessful campaign. And where did all that money go? Well, according to the...
Following are two tweets from soon-to-be congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her first tweet contains a threat to Donald Trump Jr. for tweeting negatively about her and the second is a disclaimer of the first: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔@Ocasio2018 I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please...
Here is the beginning of Mary Clark Jalonick’s article for the Associated Press, which reports yesterday’s closed-door testimony by former FBI Director James Comey: Former FBI Director James Comey spoke to House investigators behind closed doors for almost seven hours Friday, begrudgingly answering questions about the Justice Department’s decisions during the 2016 presidential...
Two days ago, comedian Kevin Hart was selected to host the 2019 academy awards. Today he has “voluntarily” (as if he had a choice) stepped down because it turned out that, from 2009 – 2011, he tweeted a series of comments that were overtly anti-gay. Am I troubled that this caused Hart to be dumped as the Oscars emcee? Nope. What troubles me is that whomever they pick to...
For years and years we have been told, angrily, by Democrats that there is no such thing as voter fraud. Even when people have been tried, convicted, and jailed for voter fraud we have been told the exact same thing. But now that a congressional election in North Carolina may have been affected in a way that would cause the Democrat rather than the Republican to lose? All of a sudden there is...
