Travel ban rulings expose left’s hypocrisy, wickedness

Here's a question that's floating in the winds of judicial clamp-down on President Donald Trump's latest travel ban: Since when did anybody on the left, to include activist judges, consider Trump and his blunt style of speaking anything but clownish in the first place? Published March 16, 2017

MSNBC, fresh off a red face from Rachel Maddow TV revelations that were tantamount to reporting, "hey, President Donald Trump paid his taxes," apparently tried a bounce-back of sorts with another host, Joe Scarborough, who attempted to prove his mettle by taking on a Top Trump Dog, attorney Michael Cohen, via Twitter.

Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter feed: It’s still the repeal, stupid

Republicans gone drunk on health care power

Come on, Republicans. Have you gone commie?

Donald Trump wiretap brouhaha raises Patriot vs. Patriot Act fight

The media's been filled with busy bees lately, painting President Donald Trump with the crazy stick and demanding he produce proof of Barack Obama's wiretap of Trump Tower -- but what has happened to America, land of the free, country of the Constitution, that wiretapping one's own citizens has become so believable?
