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...

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."

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.

There we go: Bernie joins the Obama speaking-fee pile on

I'm not sure why this took so long. Maybe the young, fresh, face of the Democrat Party, Bernie Sanders, is getting slow in his old age. Whatever the reason, the old socialist coot of the Senate dawdled while Elizabeth Warren was letting everyone know how 'troubled' she was. She was vexed, obviously, by former President Barack Obama's decision to accept a whopping $400,000.00 for one Wall Street speech.

Obama scores another $400K speaking fee, and multi-millionaire Elizabeth Warren is 'troubled'

Earlier this week, I pointed out the Barack Obama is a filthy one-percenter. That's nothing new, of course. He's been getting rich - by selling class warfare rhetoric and claiming the "rich don't pay their fair share" - for years. Still, considering what a big issue Hillary's speaking fees were in the last election, I wondered when we'd hear from Bernie Sanders.

While firing 100 sports-related employees, ESPN runs 'Five poets on the new feminism'

On Monday, ESPN announced it would be firing a gaggle of writers, on-air talent, and radio personalities. As subscribers and ratings decline, the former sports network has been forced (repeatedly) to trim its stable of on-air talent, writers, and radio personalities. Initially they claimed 40-50 jobs would get the axe. Yesterday, we learned ESPN's employee bloodbath would involve over 100 people.

ESPN to fire more than 100 on-air employees today

ESPN used to be the crown jewel in the Disney Corporation’s portfolio. It was thought to be the network cable subscribers couldn't - and wouldn't - live without, so it was a perennial cash-cow. Even if the movies, toys, and theme parks underperformed, ESPN could be counted on to generate mountains of Mouse-moolah.

Filthy one-percenter prepares to accept an astronomical $400,000.00 for one speech

Democrats, as we all know, loathe the so-called "one percent." We all know their ranks are clogged with over payed movie-stars, "woke" CEO's, and career politicians who, like Harry Reid, inexplicably manage to make millions in the public service arena, but that's not the point. Those one-percenters are OK because they toe the left-wing line. Being wealthy is only a problem if you try to stand up to their agenda.

Media: 'People totally regret voting for Trump.' Reality: 'Nope.'

Trump is a monster. Now that he's in office, the American people can see the error of their ways. If they had it to do over again, Trump would never become President because his voters are experiencing such intense buyer’s remorse.
