Hillary blames DNC data operation for her loss - DNC data director calls it 'f**king bull***t'

Let's see... Hillary's list of people and things to blame for her 2016 loss now includes Barack Obama, The Russians, Misogyny, Steve Bannon, Racism, Fake News, Twitter Bots, Religion, James Comey, Facebook, Media Bias, Wikileaks, and, of course, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign manager 'tired of hearing who/what she blames' for her loss

I'm a little bummed right now. I've always assumed that, as long as Hillary's party allies were propping up her blame game, there was a chance she might run - and lose - again. I may get tired of Mrs. Clinton, but I never get tired of watching her blow elections.

Reports: Trump to pull out of Paris Climate Accord

As has become the norm lately, "unidentified sources" are indicating that President Trump will be pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. Liberal heads are exploding, doomsayers are predicting the end of the world, climate pimps are screeching, and the media is stoking the fires of its 24-hour panic machine. Build your bunkers, because there's a good chance the Earth will split in two later this week.

First, Kathy Griffin defends her lofty art. Deletes that, and goes into "career salvage mode." Apologizes

How many times have we watched this dance? A prominent, left-wing entertainer crosses the line. Then they issue a phony apology designed to appease the angry and salvage their career. Usually, it's of the "I'm sorry if people were offended" variety - something that's not actually an apology at all. Never mind that their initial instinct was one of murdering a political opponent. It's art... or something.

CNN asks Rahm if Clinton 2020 would be good for Democrats. Rahm squirms. ...A lot.

It's a really simple question. "If Hillary Clinton is up for another presidential run, would that be a good thing for your party?"

The 'shake-up' begins? Trump WH communications director resigns.

For a little over a week, we've been hearing of an impending shake-up in the Trump White House. Allegedly, the President is furious about leaks, incompetence, the general perception (or reality) that his agenda seems to have stalled if not completely derailed.

Illegal immigrant students at Columbia University demand free health care, housing, and sensitivity training for staff

If you illegally enter someone's house, refuse to leave, and hand them a list of 13 demands, a few things will happen. If you aren't immediately shot for breaking and entering, you'll be told to get the hell out. Then, your demands will be mocked, ridiculed, and refused. Finally, the police will be called and you'll be forcibly removed. You won't be coddled, indulged, or comforted. You'll be jettisoned with extreme prejudice.

Pelosi promises: Give us back the house, and we'll give you $15 an hour

Of all the Dems hare-brained schemes, the "fight for fifteen" has to be one of the most idiotic. It's a plan that will decimate jobs for young people, force corporations to eviscerate their workforces in favor of robots, send manufacturing businesses overseas, devalue the wages people are already earning, drive up the price of virtually everything you buy at retail and, in the end, will succeed only in raising the poverty line to a new, higher, level.

Republican wins Montana special election after being charged with assaulting a reporter

You were supposed to care. Not just a little bit, either. You were really supposed to care. In fact, you were supposed to be so outraged after Republican Greg Gianforte body slammed a reporter that the Democrats would take a safe GOP district in a landslide.

Private investigator charged for illegal pre-election attempt to get Trump's tax returns.

In the brutal 2016 cage-match between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, tax returns emerged as something of a broken bottle tossed into the ring. If Hillary could grab it, she'd be able to pull herself off the ropes and lash out with a deadly weapon.

Al Franken becomes latest Democrat to reject running against Trump in 2020

For whatever reason, people in Minnesota really seem happy with their decision to keep Al Franken in Congress. Despite his nebulous messages, boring demeanor, and uniformly terrible speeches on the Senate floor, he trounced his GOP rival in 2014 and remains bafflingly popular. Couple that with the whole "famous comedian" thing and you had what many on the left thought was a recipe for a presidential run.

Trey Gowdy to take over as House Oversight Committee chairman

When Trey Gowdy's name was mentioned as a possible replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey, I scoffed. Floating Gowdy was a smart play from the White House, since they know the base loves him, but I didn't buy it for a second. There are several reasons for that, but at the top of the list is "why would he want to do that? Congress is a nice cushy gig."

Here we go again: Manchester terrorist was already known to authorities

Earlier, I outlined how the pattern of events surrounding the Manchester terror attack are all too familiar. It seems as though every time something like this happens we run through the same, tired, playlist of denial, obfuscation, and then admission that, yes, an Islamic radical was involved. Then, eventually, we reach the final stage of the narrative meltdown.

Mrs. Bernie Sanders: Iranian elections 'show the world how it's done'

The Democrat base loves to tell you that, had he been the nominee, "Bernie would have won." If only the DNC hadn't conspired to secure Hillary Clinton's coronation, we'd all be enjoying the many benefits of "President Bernie" right now.

ISIS claims responsibility for Manchester attack

Early this morning, liberals were already doing the "this isn't really Islam" dance. They were all over social media with the standard "don't jump to conclusions" shtick, but a quick look at the news told you most of what needed to know. We've seen this same scene play out time and again. It's an exhausting pattern we witnessed in Nice, The Bataclan, The Boston Marathon, etc.

Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara Netanyahu, caught on hot mic trashing media

Oh. So, a solid understanding of the media's bias, agenda, and reckless disregard for reality isn't just a thing here in the United States?

CNN interviews panel of 3rd graders about Trump presidency. ...Yes really

There's a question that Democrats love to ask whenever they don't control the White House. Kids are, as we've been told a thousand times, our most precious national resource. It takes a village to raise them. So, whenever they're faced with the horrors of a Republican President, Dems want to know: What are the children thinking?

Joe Biden rattles 2020 sabre: 'I never thought she was a great candidate.' ...'I was.'

Back when we were all watching the Joe Biden "will he, won't he" dance, I was pretty sure he would. I knew there would immense pressure - mostly from the Clinton camp - to deny him the nomination, but I genuinely thought he'd go for it. As I (incorrectly) wrote at the time, it just made sense.

Maxine Waters admits there's no evidence to support the crazy conspiracy theory she's offering

If there's a poster child for people who've lost themselves down the "impeach Trump" rabbit hole, it must be Maxine Waters. The California Representative has been making all the news rounds, proudly displaying both her abject ignorance and her absolute conviction that Putin was running Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Anthony 'Carlos Danger' Weiner to plead guilty - comes to completion of underage sexting case

Carlos Danger, possibly better known by the equally embarrassing moniker "Anthony Weiner," has come to point of completion in his sexting scandal. As you're no doubt aware, Weiner embarrassed his wife (and damaged Hillary's presidential bid) by sexting and sharing photos of his nether-regions with at least one underaged girl. Then he did it again. ...And again. ...Ad nauseam.
