For weeks, we’ve been hearing rumors that impeachment proceedings against Rod Rosenstein were right around the corner. Well, welcome to the other side of the corner. Tonight, conservatives in the House of Representatives introduced a resolution designed to remove Rosenstein from office. The crux of the effort rests on the DOJ’s refusal to turn over documents that have been the subject of congressional subpoenas.

By now, you’re aware of “Democratic Socialist” and “young fresh face of the Democratic Party,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some left-wing media suck-up who’s singing her praises. She’s allegedly oh-so-wonderful that the future is going to be a radically different place thanks to her political participation. She is, they all say, just what we need. Ocasio-Cortez fever is in full swing.
Unless you’ve been trapped under a stack of Governor Moonbeam’s global warming pamphlets, you know that California is a complete mess. Taxes are out of control, regulations are crushing small businesses, the cost of living is ridiculous, illegal immigration is both rampant and encouraged, and fires, mudslides, and droughts have been reduced to simple facts of daily life. I genuinely love Napa and Sonoma, but I can’t imagine why anyone outside of the increasingly creepy film industry would choose the left coast.
Earlier, Dan outlined some of the ways in which our Iran policy is changing and posted an excellent video of Mike Pompeo breaking it all down. Suffice it to say, Trump’s tweet isn’t some crazy, unhinged, rant. It’s a line in the sand from which we will take a new attitude toward a gang of international criminals, murderers, and terrorist sponsors.
Sometimes I wonder what it’s like in a an old-media newsroom these days. You did everything you could to get Hillary elected – and failed. In defiance of your best efforts, a man you openly despise is in the White House and he spends a good chunk of each day trashing your no-longer-existent credibility. Meanwhile, less and less people are buying your product, your 
To one degree or another, Democrats have always embraced socialism. From FDR’s 100% tax plan to the ObamaCare fiasco, Dems are perpetually searching for new ways to “spread the wealth around.” Looking back over the last hundred years, JFK’s cuts now stick out like a sore thumb – a brief, bizarro-world detour away from their discomfort with capitalism and their never-ending class warfare campaign to soak the rich.
It seems that I’ve been writing about this for years now. As the fight for fifteen movement gathered steam, and saw some success on the coasts, it became clear that fast food chains were going to do what they could to eliminate entry-level jobs.
Obviously, the most important issue facing the nation is Russia. We hear about it on every lousy news channel, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Given its prominent position on news broadcasts, it must the matter that preoccupies every American citizen during every waking moment of every single day. Right? I mean… they wouldn’t run so much Russia stuff if it wasn’t the top priority of the viewers, would they?
Over the years, I’ve written quite a bit about Joe Biden. Back when the former VP was doing the will he/won’t he dance, I warned: “underestimate Joe Biden at your own peril.” Biden has a knack for presenting himself as a sort of ‘average blue-collar fella’ who understands your issues and isn’t too left-wing. It’s a lie, but he does a good job of playing the part. He carries a limited amount of baggage, he’s congenial, and his personal history is both compelling and can generate a certain amount of sympathy.
As much as I may try, I can’t share all of it with you. The party that has chosen to embrace socialism is coming completely unglued, and they view every single TV appearance as a chance to launch their particular brand of crazy into American homes. I do my best to give you what I can, but there’s just so much left-wing hysteria these days that no mere mortal could keep you abreast of everything.
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Democrats think James Comey is a monster whose incompetence robbed Hillary of her rightful place upon America’s throne.
If you follow me over on Twitter, and you should, you know I don’t think Trump had a great day yesterday. No, I don’t think it was “Treason.” I don’t think it was an indication that he’s “owned by Putin.” I don’t think he should be impeached, and I don’t think it – in any way – diminishes his accomplishments as President. I just don’t think it was one of his better appearances.
For just a moment – because a moment is all I can stand – I’m going to pretend I’m Dianne Feinstein. I’m 85 years old, I’m the oldest currently serving Senator, and I’ve been a stalwart voice for left-wing issues throughout the entirety of my almost impossibly-long career.
It was no secret that hardcore progressives – who now view lifelong leftist Dianne Feinstein as some kind of right-wing overlord – were going to attempt to stomp California deeper into the left-wing Democrat mire by denying Feinstein their party’s endorsement. Still, it was supposed to be a close vote. No one expected the landslide defeat that Feinstein suffered this weekend.
I’m willing to bet it went something like this: A 20-year-old college socialist heard the phrase “Israeli occupation of Palestine” over and over again. As her political views solidified, and she made her meteoric rise through the ranks of the now-socialist New York Democratic Party, she realized that the radical base loves to hear people say it.
If you’ve been on any of the various social media platforms this morning, you’ve seen Dems jumping through hoops to defend disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok. It’s completely ridiculous, but there’s simply no avoiding it. Whether they’re trying to portray their new favorite liar as some sort of war hero, or simply arguing that he did his job to the best of his ability, they’re extending him a benefit of doubt that they would NEVER offer an FBI agent who had similarly attacked a Democrat candidate.
As you watch the following clip, please keep one thing in mind. The Purple Heart is given to honor service men and women who have been injured or killed in combat. It is the country’s oldest military award and, as the V.A. puts it, “one of the most recognized and respected medals awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces.”
Despite the fact that we never expect much to come out of these hearings, we were glued to C-Span here at Cain HQ. At first, we weren’t disappointed. Strzok is as smarmy and self-righteous as you’d expect, Trey Gowdy came out of the gate with a blistering series of pointed questions that put him back on his heels, and the Democrats were – as usual – desperate to shield “their guy” from the proceedings.
For a long time – years in fact – we’ve heard rumblings that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wants to run for President. He recently admitted considering it and, every so often, we go through a round of political will he/won’t he.
Imagine you’re a leftist Democrat. I know it’s horribly unpleasant, but don’t worry. I won’t make you do this for long. Just imagine you’re a leftist Democrat.
You just lost what you thought was a slam dunk election because your own party cheated the guy you wanted to be your presidential nominee.
