Dems squander over $30 Million on GA06 loss ...err 'moral victory'

If you listen to Democrats this morning, you'll quickly realize that they think there's a silver lining to last night's epic loss in the GA06 special election.

Russian Su-27 buzzes U.S. Air Force RC-135 recon jet - flies within 5 feet

One day after the United States downed a Syrian aircraft, prompting a verbal rejoinder from the Russian government, an armed Russian fighter flew dangerously close to a large U.S. recon craft over the Baltic Sea.

WaPo notices that single-payer healthcare would be devastatingly expensive

The Washington Post Editorial Board begins its most recent healthcare screed with an outright falsehood.

Watch a former US Special forces soldier run through ISIS gunfire to save a little civilian girl in Mosul

The old media loves to portray the U.S. military as uncaring warmongers running roughshod over the globe. To them, the United States is always the problem, never the solution. The truth is that members of the American Armed Forces have a long history of trying to assist local civilians during engagements, and lending aid and comfort is almost always one of their primary goals.

Colin Kaepernick compares all police to fugitive slave patrols, reminds us why he can't get a job

Colin Kaepernick is unemployed. Apparently, large companies - including sports teams - tend to avoid hiring people who've proven themselves to be massive PR nightmares. After all, if having someone on your staff means you spend all your time putting out the media fires they create, that person isn't going to last very long. Once word gets out that he's a "problem employee," finding a new gig in the same field is going to be tough.

Trump announces cancellation of 'terrible & misguided deal w/ the Castro regime'

If you don't know my feelings on Obama's ridiculously lopsided deal with Raul Castro, the man who tried to murder my father-in-law, you can read about it here. Suffice it to say that the agreement put in place by Barack Obama made absolutely no sense, was on track to achieve absolutely none of its stated goals, and served only to enrich the despots running Cuba.

Bernie REALLY wants you to know he's not a Democrat - because they're losers

whose supporters... have a tendency... to get violent... - even with each other, wants you to know he's not a Democrat.

Vladimir Putin trolls fired FBI director James Comey - in epic fashion

One gets the idea that Vladimir Putin really enjoys watching Democrats embarrass themselves, and their country, via their asinine witch hunt. Partly, that's because he's no friend of the United States, and (like the Dems) he will do - or applaud - pretty much anything that weakens our President.

In response to Alexandria shooting, NYT dredges up false claims about Sarah Palin and Gabby Giffords

Earlier, I showed you how Chris Matthews was coping with the fact that a hardcore leftist tried to assassinate a wide swath of Republican congressmen. His reaction was to sympathize with the would-be killer. Over at the New York Times, the editorial board chose a different course. They decided to equivocate by dredging up a phony conspiracy theory that blamed Sarah Palin for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting:

Chris Matthews frets that 'sadness' in Alexandria shooter's life may have caused his 'wacky behavior'

Democrats know how bad this looks. The would-be Alexandria assassin is a left-wing true believer. In terms of his political beliefs (if not his actions) he's emblematic of the base of their party. His political goals are their political goals, and we're learning that he enjoyed a steady diet of the same hateful class-warfare rhetoric they use to win elections.

Rand Paul and Jeff Flake describe the scene at baseball game attack

The news is coming fast and furious this morning and obviously things are changing quickly, but here's the low-down on the attack in Alexandria from Senators Rand Paul and Jeff Flake.

Pop the corn: Bernie trashes 'failed' Democrat Party for historic losses - Hillary flak fires back

Now that Barack Obama's time in office has ended, and his legacy is being wiped away by Donald Trump, the Democrats are slowly coming to a brutal realization. The last eight years weren't the massive victory Dems believed them to be. In fact, they were just the opposite. The far left may have held the White House but, by virtually every other metric, the Obama years were a spectacular failure.

McCain: I never said American leadership was better under Obama

Last week, John McCain was asked "what message" Trump was sending when he attacked London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter. McCain, probably happy to be in the papers again, obliged with a quote that accused Trump of damaging America's standing on the global stage. Despite eight years of disastrously failed foreign policy, the Senator indicated that Trump was faring worse as a global leader than Obama.

Schumer invites President Trump to testify under oath. ...Cue Admiral Ackbar

On Friday, President Trump was asked if he'd be open to speaking "under oath" about the whole James Comey kerfuffle. His answer is a little jumbled, but it does sound like he says he'd be "100%" willing to do so.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions will testify before Senate intel committee Tuesday

Democrats were understandably crestfallen after they heard the James Comey testimony. Not only did the former FBI director deliver little or nothing that could aid the left's anti-Trump witch hunt, he corroborated most of what President Trump has said for months and he may have admitted to committing a crime by leaking his infamous memos to the press. In short, their much-hyped knockout blow turned out to be a swing and a miss.

Even Chris Matthews admits Comey testimony destroyed the left's 'Russian collusion' narrative

They were so sure. They were just absolutely, 100%, positive that fired FBI Director James Comey would drop some sort of Trump-destroying bombshell during his testimony. Finally unshackled, Comey was going to tower over the "worst President ever" and deliver a knockout blow.

Uh-oh. Did James Comey commit a crime by leaking his memos via 'a friend?'

According to former FBI Director James Comey, he leaked "the content" of his memos to the press (which he referred to as a bunch of annoying seagulls at the beach) via "a friend." Thanks to the Washington Post, we now know who that was:

Watch Marco Rubio take a few solid swings at James Comey

Well, I suspect the President may want to take a few of the insults back, because it looks like "little" Marco Rubio has been taking his vitamins. During today's James Comey testimony, Rubio let the former FBI Director have it over leaks.

Winning: Trump announces selection of 11 new conservative judicial appointees

While the Democrats have been focused on the Comey testimony, President Trump has been making judicial waves. This morning, he released a new list of 11 judges that have been nominated to a variety of judicial positions - all of whom have solid conservative bona fides.

Piers Morgan grills London's Mayor over his obvious travel ban hypocrisy

Despite what you may have read in the press or watched on CNN, Donald Trump's spat with London Mayor Sadiq Khan didn't begin with a tweet after last week's terror attack. That didn't help, but the whole thing really started over a year ago - when Khan was running around telling everyone that Trump was ignorant, and that he hoped Trump would lose the election. This all stemmed from Trump's proposed travel ban, as USA Today wrote last May:
