Friendly reminder: Valerie Jarrett, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, were setting the stage for 'President Hillary" to fire Comey

If you're a Democrat, 2016 was "the good ol' days." Back then, you were safely ensconced in the arrogant assumption that Hillary Clinton would be the next President. You were 100% sure that Donald Trump was guaranteed to suffer a humiliating defeat, and your socialist utopia would be secured by the ascension of the first female President.

After demanding Comey be fired, Keith Olbermann - and his party - have gone 'mother*******' insane

Poor Keith Olbermann.... Once upon a time, he was the king of the left-wing brain trust at MSNBC. Then, he started screaming. Now, he's a "former" broadcaster. He's also a twice "former" ESPN host who once had legions of fans and a web domain that wasn't owned by the Daily Caller. These days, he pretends to lead "the resistance" while filming little YouTube rants in what looks like a construction paper-lined closet at GQ headquarters.

President Trump fires FBI Director James Comey

Democrats demanded James Comey be fired after he announced he was re-opening the Clinton investigation. Republicans demanded James Comey be fired when he refused to charge Hillary.

Condi Rice: Trump handling North Korean situation 'as well as anybody could'

As always, the? folks over at MSNBC were, this morning, fishing for something to use against President Trump. This time, they tried to get a 'weaponizable' quote from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by asking her if maybe, just maybe, Trump was "leaning too hard" on the Chinese. China is, obviously, seen as a key factor in dealing with a nuclear North Korea, since it's one of the few countries on Earth that can apply any non-violent leverage to Kim Jong Un.

Paul Ryan promises tax reform will get done 'this year'

Are you like me? Do you think they could have done one heck of a lot better on that health care bill? Are you waiting for the GOP brass to embrace a genuine free market solution? Yeah. I thought so.

Dianne Feinstein & Joe Manchin admit: No evidence of Trump/Russia collusion

Democrats are desperate to show something - anything - that proves a link between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russians. Every single left-wing media outlet has been focused on it while Dem-friendly surrogates, donors, and PACs have been searching for it. Democrat politicians, many with access to highly classified material, have made the accusations but still, to this day, there is simply no proof it ever happened.

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber blames ACA collapse on Trump. ...Yes, really.

If you spend any time following politics, you'll run across idiotic arguments. When backed into a corner, those who operate in the political sphere often employ a "throw anything at the wall" defense where they desperately hope to wriggle their way out of a tight spot with some outlandish claim. It rarely works. Usually, they just end up sounding like morons.

Trump admin: nominations of appellate and district judges to be 'near monthly' event

As I've argued many times before, the Supreme Court was the real win last November. If President Trump were to be impeached tomorrow (he won't be, but if he were) the appointment of Neil Gorsuch would make it all worthwhile. Factor in the rumors that he'll get another bite at the SCOTUS apple this summer, and it's conceivable that a two-term Trump administration could see a total of four such opportunities.

Rand Paul demands to know if he was surveilled by the Obama admin during the 2016 election

Last week, a report circulated which indicated "the Obama administration conducted more than 35,000 searches on NSA intercepts seeking information about Americans during the divisive 2016 election year."

Norks accuse CIA of assassinating Kim Jong Un at some point in the future

No one knows quite what to make of this. Maybe the Norks have gotten wind of an actual, honest-to-goodness CIA plot. Perhaps someone in the North Korean government wants Kim Jong Un gone, so they're offering the CIA helpful suggestions about how to do the deed. It's also possible that they finally got around to screening "The Interview" and they're under the mistaken impression that it's documentary.

Guess which pile of unmarked cash Iran is using to build up its military...

Back when the Obama administration was doing the full court press in support of its Iran nuclear "deal," we were told that, sure, some of the money would fund terrorism, but most of it would go into Iran’s economy. We knew this, because that’s what the trustworthy folks running Iran told us. As former Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken put it...

Oh, thank goodness. Elizabeth Warren has determined our military's 'greatest strength'

Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator, probable future presidential candidate, fake Indian, and world-renowned military strategist wants you to know something. She's done the research and determined what our military's greatest strength is. Her findings will shock you.

Feinstein presses Comey on decision to notify Congress of reopened Clinton investigation - instantly regrets it

Hear that sound? That's the drumbeat of Democrats desperately trying to sell (and cling to) the narrative that Hillary Clinton's loss wasn't her fault. Sometimes it's Russia's fault, sometimes it's the fault of hateful men who despise women, and sometimes it's the fault of that dastardly Vladimir Putin. Today, in D.C., it's James Comey's fault.

In response to Hillary's new blame game, Andrea Mitchell lays out her many failures

So, did Hillary just squander her final shot at offering the mainstream media a genuine apology? A quick glance at today's news seems to suggest that may be the case. We've already heard from David Axelrod. Now that we have this clip from Andrea Mitchell, I'm starting to think they've shifted gears from "tired of Hillary's garbage" to "completely fed up with her whole shtick."

Axlerod: Hillary was never fully 'willing to take responsibility for her mistakes' in 2016 campaign

Earlier, Dan shared the video of Hillary Clinton accepting "complete responsibility" for her embarrassing 2016 loss. Then, as Hillary always does, she turned around and blamed everyone and everything else.

Democrats 'cleaned our clocks' on the spending bill. ...Says Lindsey Graham

It's a dark day when I'm forced to agree with Lindsey Graham. Unfortunately, the budget "deal" has brought us to that point - at least in part. If even a guy like Lindsey Graham can recognize the plan as a complete train wreck, you know we're in a bad spot...

Rush: Why does anyone vote Republican, if the spending bill 'is what happens when we win?'

Yesterday morning, I discussed the atrocious spending bill that's currently wriggling its way through Congress like a heartworm through a mangy dog. It appears that the GOP has, once again, caved to every imaginable Democrat demand because they're simply too cowardly to fight for their alleged agenda. After winning the House, Senate, and Presidency, they put forth a plan that gives their opponents everything they wanted - and today, the Democrats are taking a victory tour of the news channels where they grin like Cheshire cats.

Heartwarming: When singer's mic fails, 18,000 Canadian hockey fans fill in on U.S. National Anthem

I've been to a lot of NHL games. When you're born in Detroit, they slap your butt to get your lungs working, then they pretty much issue you a set of Red Wings tickets and a little jersey. That's just how it works in Hockeytown. I've said it before and I'll say it again, hockey fans are a different breed. There's not a happier, nicer, more congenial crowd in professional sports.

Trump: Next SCOTUS pick will come from the same list released during campaign

By now, you're no doubt aware of the rumors regarding the impending retirement of an unnamed Supreme Court Justice. No one really knows who's planning to step down but, since the rumors are all coming from Republicans, the smart money is on Anthony Kennedy. As we've discussed before, that means President Trump will get another chance to nominate a replacement, thus driving Democrats into a rerun of their recent hate-fueled frenzy.

Chuck Schumer is thrilled with the budget agreement - because the Republicans caved on pretty much everything

Last week, Dan outlined the insanity of the Republican party's apparent decision to let Democrats continue to run the federal show. At the time, the GOP was fretting about a possible government shutdown that could occur if Congress couldn't agree on a spending plan. Since most congressional repubs are terrified of a real fight, you started to hear talk of concessions almost immediately.
