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:

Read former FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for tomorrow's hearing.

Former FBI Director James Comey has released his opening statement ahead of tomorrow's testimony. If you dig in, you'll probably come to the conclusion that Comey's memos are going to end up being the lettuce on a big nothingburger.

Kim Jong Un orders North Korean pilots to prepare for carrier attacks - praises pilots' 'scientific' and 'artistry' flying

Since North Korea has no oil production of its own, military commanders are understandably reluctant to waste jet fuel. Every precious drop must be obtained from the DPRK's increasingly irritated regional allies so Nork air force training has an embarrassing tendency to rely on toy planes and scale models. Here's a picture of what that looks like:

Why aren't you following radicals who've returned from fighting in Mid-East nations? Where are they?

Earlier, I posted a clip of Piers Morgan grilling London Mayor Sadiq Khan over his blatant travel ban hypocrisy. Now we have another clip. If you're thinking the Mayor's situation improved, well, you're headed for disappointment.

Charged NSA leaker, Reality Winner, to Iranian Foreign Minister: 'We stand with you'

If you want to claim that your illegal leak of classified NSA material was somehow justified, you really only have one course of action. That's the whistleblower defense. Basically, you're saying "I'm a patriot, I love my country, and I felt compelled to expose the actions of my corrupt government."

Man shouts 'this is for Syria' outside Notre Dame Cathedral, attacks police with hammer, is shot, wounded, arrested

As you've probably heard, a man attacked police near Notre Dame Cathedral today in Paris, France. The incident occurred at 5:30 PM local time. We're getting more details about the situation, which has now been defused. Here was the initial warning, via the U.S. Embassy France twitter account:

Donald Trump Jr.: We've been measured in our response, but Kathy Griffin 'deserves whatever's coming to her'

After the release of the picture/video of Kathy Griffin holding President Trump's severed head, I expected the Trump family to unload on her. I expected they'd be firing insults with both barrels - the kind of fury Trump usually reserves for Rosie O'Donnell. That didn't really happen. To my surprise, they were pretty calm about it.

MSNBC anchor wonders: Is Trump using Twitter to provoke a domestic terror attack?

So, when (God forbid) there's another terror attack on U.S. soil, you know what the narrative will be. Despite logic, facts, and common sense to the contrary, MSNBC is now openly broadcasting their plan to lay an atrocity at the President's feet. Donald Trump, that horrible, no-good, monster, will have caused it - deliberately.

Al Gore: Panic, for 'climate change' has turned your nightly weather forecast into 'the Book of Revelation!'

One of the very few things that Barack Obama was right about is the fact that the world is in better shape than at almost any time in its history. Yes, we have problems, but things are generally pretty good. Globally, people are healthier, safer, live longer, and have more free time than they ever have before. We're also witnessing a planet where world peace is on the rise, global poverty is on the decline, and starvation is in freefall.

Morning Joe asks DNC deputy Keith Ellison about Hillary's excuses--He babbles incoherent about Trump

Like all Democrats (and most politicians in general) radical leftist Keith Ellison is completely incapable of giving a straight answer. Lob him a few softballs and he'll be fine, but the second he hears a question he doesn't like, he collapses like a house of desperate, unpleasant, nonsensical, cards.

High minimum wages making robots more attractive - so San Fran considers banning robots

San Francisco's far-left population has been at the forefront of the battle for astronomical minimum wages. Currently, the area enjoys a $13.00 minimum, and most of the activists who line the streets would like to see it raised by at least a couple of bucks. That, as we've told you before, is making the idea of robots extremely attractive.
