"Why aren't I up 50 points?"--Hillary Clinton thinks she is owed the presidency

"Why aren't I up 50 points", exclaimed an angry Hillary Clinton. The bizarre outburst came this week after nearly all polls showed the race to be basically even, with some swinging slightly in favor of Donald Trump. The Hildebeast has reverted to total shrill mode--a shrewish side of her that former Clinton staffers have alluded to on numerous occasions but is almost universally ignored by the sycophantic MSM.

The New Missing “I” Word

The Phoenix Rises

It has been two years since I wrote “And Out of the Ashes, the Phoenix Shall Rise”, a post-election 2008 column that predicted a revived conservative movement. Two years later, it is time to revisit where we were, examine where we are, and most importantly – to see where we are going.
