In midst of a feeding frenzy, media further beclowns itself by pouncing on obvious Putin joke

The left-wing media has worked itself into a ridiculous, substance-free, feeding frenzy. They've completely abandoned anything resembling real journalism in favor of stories comprised of insinuation, no identifiable sources, and no proof.

Wait. Is that Time Magazine cover just a rip-off of Mad Magazine?

A few minutes ago, we showed you the widely-adored-by-liberals cover of the new Time Magazine. Now, it looks like someone is a little peeved about it. No, not because it's a ludicrous symbol of a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory. They're peeved because it's a rip-off.

TIME: Russian interference was revenge against Clinton, 5 years in the making, U.S. intel didn't think much of it

You may have seen the newest cover of Time Magazine. It's being passed around by faux-outraged liberals like a joint at a Grateful Dead concert. If you haven't seen it, here it is:

Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich leaked 'thousands of emails' to Wikileaks

You will no doubt recall the sad story of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who was found murdered on the street outside of his home. Just 12 days after his death, Wikileaks released the emails that proved Hillary Clinton and the DNC were conspiring to destroy Bernie Sanders. These were, obviously, obtained from mysterious sources. Almost immediately, there was speculation that Rich might, in fact, be that source.

First Mike Lee, now Mitch McConnell: Trump should choose Merrick Garland as FBI director

Your reactions ranged from "that would be brilliant" to "no . . . never" when we first raised this last week. Or I should say, when conservative Sen. Mike Lee raised it last week. Some of you saw it as the same brand of brilliant triangulation I did, and weren't too worried about Garland being a Democrat because FBI director is not really a partisan job. Others thought the last thing we needed was to put anyone from the other side in a position to lead this Russia investigation or anything else.

Sorry Dems: Chaffetz leaving for Fox News. ...Not "Russia" or "jail."

As we told you before, the left was salivating over the prospect of a Jason Chaffetz scandal. When he announced he would be walking away from Congress, Dems went into conspiracy theory overdrive. After all, government is the only thing on Earth that matters

Here we go again: Schumer promises to obstruct Trump's FBI appointment

Let's get one thing out of the way. Chuck Schumer is a vile, duplicitous, self-aggrandizing, snake who doesn't give a rat's rear about the country or the ideals he claims to support. A quick look at his career reveals a textbook example of the two-faced congressional lifer that we've all come to loathe. He exists not to serve his state, his voters, or his nation. He exists to serve and perpetuate the myth of Chuck Schumer's greatness - nothing more.

If Lester Holt is right about this one thing, Trump had better get his head on straight ...and quick

If you missed Lester Holt's interview with Donald Trump, you missed... well... not much. President Trump handled himself fairly well, Holt spent most of his time interrupting, and little or no news was made. You can tell Holt was desperate for something juicy, but If you pay attention to developing stories, there wasn't much meat on the bone. I suspect he walked away disappointed.

John Oliver uses Trump-created tax exemption to cut taxes on $9.5 Million Manhattan penthouse

I have a confession to make. I think John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" is funny. It's wrong about virtually everything, but it's wrong in an amusing way. That said, I doubt the host has too much to do with the amount of entertainment I'm getting. He probably just shows up, reads the DNC talking points he's handed, mugs, and leans on his British accent to sell his arrogant attitde. That's, OK, though. Like I said, I think it's done well and ends up being pretty funny. He's certainly better than the seven or eight other people currently doing the same thing.

Aetna to lose almost $1 Billion from 2014-2017 - Will abandon ALL ObamaCare exchanges

Last year, you may recall that one of the nation's largest insurers, Aetna, announced it had suffered major losses under the failing Affordable Care Act. As a result, it was pulling out of many ACA exchanges. The company said it intended to soldier on in just four states - Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, and Virginia.

Friendly reminder: Valerie Jarrett, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, were setting the stage for 'President Hillary" to fire Comey

If you're a Democrat, 2016 was "the good ol' days." Back then, you were safely ensconced in the arrogant assumption that Hillary Clinton would be the next President. You were 100% sure that Donald Trump was guaranteed to suffer a humiliating defeat, and your socialist utopia would be secured by the ascension of the first female President.

After demanding Comey be fired, Keith Olbermann - and his party - have gone 'mother*******' insane

Poor Keith Olbermann.... Once upon a time, he was the king of the left-wing brain trust at MSNBC. Then, he started screaming. Now, he's a "former" broadcaster. He's also a twice "former" ESPN host who once had legions of fans and a web domain that wasn't owned by the Daily Caller. These days, he pretends to lead "the resistance" while filming little YouTube rants in what looks like a construction paper-lined closet at GQ headquarters.

President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

Democrats demanded James Comey be fired after he announced he was re-opening the Clinton investigation. Republicans demanded James Comey be fired when he refused to charge Hillary.

Condi Rice: Trump handling North Korean situation 'as well as anybody could'

As always, the? folks over at MSNBC were, this morning, fishing for something to use against President Trump. This time, they tried to get a 'weaponizable' quote from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by asking her if maybe, just maybe, Trump was "leaning too hard" on the Chinese. China is, obviously, seen as a key factor in dealing with a nuclear North Korea, since it's one of the few countries on Earth that can apply any non-violent leverage to Kim Jong Un.

Paul Ryan promises tax reform will get done 'this year'

Are you like me? Do you think they could have done one heck of a lot better on that health care bill? Are you waiting for the GOP brass to embrace a genuine free market solution? Yeah. I thought so.

Dianne Feinstein & Joe Manchin admit: No evidence of Trump/Russia collusion

Democrats are desperate to show something - anything - that proves a link between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russians. Every single left-wing media outlet has been focused on it while Dem-friendly surrogates, donors, and PACs have been searching for it. Democrat politicians, many with access to highly classified material, have made the accusations but still, to this day, there is simply no proof it ever happened.

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber blames ACA collapse on Trump. ...Yes, really.

If you spend any time following politics, you'll run across idiotic arguments. When backed into a corner, those who operate in the political sphere often employ a "throw anything at the wall" defense where they desperately hope to wriggle their way out of a tight spot with some outlandish claim. It rarely works. Usually, they just end up sounding like morons.

Trump admin: nominations of appellate and district judges to be 'near monthly' event

As I've argued many times before, the Supreme Court was the real win last November. If President Trump were to be impeached tomorrow (he won't be, but if he were) the appointment of Neil Gorsuch would make it all worthwhile. Factor in the rumors that he'll get another bite at the SCOTUS apple this summer, and it's conceivable that a two-term Trump administration could see a total of four such opportunities.

Rand Paul demands to know if he was surveilled by the Obama admin during the 2016 election

Last week, a report circulated which indicated "the Obama administration conducted more than 35,000 searches on NSA intercepts seeking information about Americans during the divisive 2016 election year."

Norks accuse CIA of assassinating Kim Jong Un at some point in the future

No one knows quite what to make of this. Maybe the Norks have gotten wind of an actual, honest-to-goodness CIA plot. Perhaps someone in the North Korean government wants Kim Jong Un gone, so they're offering the CIA helpful suggestions about how to do the deed. It's also possible that they finally got around to screening "The Interview" and they're under the mistaken impression that it's documentary.
