Liberal hot take: Trump attacked Syria so he can pretend he's not a Putin puppet!

Obviously, the left is "bitterly clinging" to their religion of Trump/Russia collusion. Despite the fact that virtually every major media outlet has admitted there is no evidence of coordination, Democrats are certain that Vladimir derailed Hillary Clinton.

Report: Unmasked intel reports were like 'private investigator files' filled with 'personal information.'

From the beginning of the Trump/spy scandal, we've been fed the story that any surveillance involving Trump-related U.S citizens was the result of "incidental" intel collection. The real targets were foreigners, and Trumpers just happened to be snagged in a wide-cast net. It's the "we didn't do anything, this is all perfectly normal, shut up you racist" version of events.

Senate GOP goes nuclear - invokes 'Reid Option' - path clear for Gorsuch

Well, that's that. Senate Republicans have pushed "the button." They've "gone nuclear." They've invoked the "Reid Option." There will be no filibuster of Neil Gorsuch.

CNN's John King rips Susan Rice for her obvious lie - basically indicts his own network in the process

The intelligentsia at CNN has been falling all over itself to try and pretend that the Susan Rice bombshell is something you should ignore. As Don Lemon made perfectly clear, CNN doesn't believe there's a story here, they aren't interested in covering it, and they won't help a bunch of crazed right-wingers promote a conspiracy theory.

Chelsea says she won't run for President in 2020 - Real news is someone thought the question was worth asking

Make no mistake. The old, liberal, mainstream media views the loss of Hillary Clinton as a personal failure. They did their best to prop up their hero - worst presidential candidate in modern history - and their best wasn't good enough.

Rand Paul demands Susan Rice be questioned under oath - as MSNBC desperately clings to the word 'incidental'

Is there anyone, anyone at all, who honestly thinks that Susan Rice demanded detailed spreadsheets of "perfectly legal" Trump communications - and then didn't run her findings over to the offices of Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton? I mean, let's just be honest with ourselves for a moment. What else would a proven lapdog do?

Report: Susan Rice ordered 'detailed spreadsheets' of 'perfectly legal' Trump communications

If the following report from the Daily Caller is correct, the scandal surrounding the Obama administration's illegal unmasking of Trump-related intel is about to get a whole lot worse. According to their sources, Susan Rice not only lied about knowledge of the scheme, she also had a nasty habit of demanding "detailed spreadsheets" which chronicled unmasked and "perfectly legal" conversations involving Trump associates.

12 Days ago, Susan Rice denied any knowledge of 'unmasking' Trump intel

Just 12 Days ago, Susan Rice appeared on PBS News hour and was asked about the "unmasking" scandal that, today, blew up in her face. Her denial is nothing short of astonishing. If this morning's Bloomberg report is correct, Susan Rice was the Obama admin official demanding the unmasking of Trump transition team members whose protected identities had been swept up in "incidental" intel collection. ...And yet there she was, less than two weeks ago claiming to know nothing about any of it.

Susan 'YouTube video' Rice requested identities of Trump associates spied upon in 'incidental' intel collection

You'll remember Susan Rice as the first prominent face of the Benghazi "YouTube video" story. She was the one that appeared on the Sunday Morning News shows blaming the attack on a "spontaneous uprising" sparked by a cheap online film that no one had seen.

McConnell promises in no uncertain terms: 'We're going to confirm Judge Gorsuch this week'

I know, I know. Most conservatives place about as much faith in Mitch McConnell as they place in the healing benefits of copper bracelets. However, his promise - made on Fox News Sunday - is about as unconditional as it gets. Gorsuch, he claims, will be confirmed. ...And he'll be confirmed by the end of this week.

9 dead, at least 20 injured, in Russia as bombs rip through St. Petersberg metro station

UPDATE: Via the AP, a second bomb has been discovered and safely defused. Also, the death toll has been revised to 9 dead, at least 20 injured. Earlier this morning, an explosive device was detonated in a St. Petersburg, Russia, Metro car as it moved between stations. Details are still somewhat sketchy, but it appears the bomb was packed with nails, and the explosion was powerful enough to blow the doors off the train car. The blast claimed 10 innocent victims, while injuring 50 more. Obviously, the incident is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack.

How ridiculous is the Democrat hypocrisy on the Gorsuch filibuster? This ridiculous.

A few short years ago, Republicans were "political terrorists." They were also "showboaters," "hostage takers," and were "refusing" to accept the results of the last presidential election. Those were among the claims made by a wide variety of Democrats - all of whom were accusing the filibustering GOP of the worst sorts of selfish, hyper-partisan, passive aggressive behavior.

Democrats Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp bail on Schumer's Gorsuch filibuster - They'll vote to confirm

What have we here? Well, we have two Democrat Senators, both from states Trump won in 2016, both up for re-election in 2018, both of whom have decided that Neil Gorsuch will make a fine Supreme Court Justice. Joe Manchin (W VA) and Heidi Heitkamp (SD) have announced that they'll vote to confirm Gorsuch, in defiance of Chuck Schumer's planned filibuster.

Ryan says ObamaCare repeal going through 'growing pains.' Another try next week?

Last week, the Republican "repeal" and replace effort died an embarrassing and very public death. Then, the GOP top brass informed us that we'd be "living with ObamaCare" for the forseeable future, because (for reasons no one understood) they were moving on to other things. Now it appears that's not the case. Stories of the AHCA's demise may have been premature.

Napolitano returns to Fox: Doubles down on claims British intel helped Obama spy on Trump

Two weeks ago, Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano made waves by claiming that Obama officials had spied on Donald Trump by retrieving intel via the British spy agency GCHQ.

Brexit becomes official as Article 50 is triggered. Watch PM Theresa May's statement here.

A little over a week ago, we learned that Prime Minister Theresa May intended to abide by the wishes of the voters, invoke "Article 50" by delivering a letter of intent, and trigger Britain's exit from the European Union. Today, the big moment arrived and, true to her word, the UK will soon be out.

Schumer demands Nunes step down. Trey Gowdy rips him a new one...

They like to tell the GOP which presidential candidates they "fear the most." This usually ends up with Republicans running someone like John McCain or Jeb Bush. They like to offer "helpful" strategy suggestions which, for the last ten years, have been nothing but pathways to conservative failure.

Sessions again threatens to defund sanctuary cities - Democrat Rep. says he's 'putting a gun to the head' of Americans

Yesterday, newly minted Attorney General Jeff Sessions re-iterated his threat to yank federal funding from so-called "sanctuary cities."

Alabama congressman files two-page, one-sentence, ObamaCare repeal bill. Pass it, GOP cowards.

Sometimes, we wish you could see more of what goes on behind the scenes of Herman Cain HQ. We have a lot of laughs, a lot of interesting discussions, and a fair amount of non-PC fun. You'd enjoy it. Then, there are other times when we're glad you're not around. That's usually when we're bickering about legislation, and the concept of constitutionalism vs. "conservatism."

Palestinian terrorist, 'Women's March' organizer, stripped of U.S. Citizenship and deported

If you know the name Rasmea Yousef Odeh, you were probably following her involvement with the "Women's March" and "Day Without a Woman" movements. She among the leadership of both.
