Mark Kaye presents . . . The Hillary Clinton Song

Mark Kaye is my Cox Media Group colleague out of Jacksonville, and he is hilarious every day. But never more so than on this video, which captures the essence of Hillary Clinton and that guy she's married to if anything ever did.

Deconstructing the logic of the Hillary voter

I know many of you are going to vote for Hillary Clinton for president, because she is a woman. That's a shallow gender-biased reason but that's your choice.

What to do (and not do) after a week of tragedies

Tragedies happen all the time, but the tragedies last week left so many of us asking more questions than there are answers.

New study: U.S. brimming with oil reserves, but . . .

A new study shows that the United States has more energy reserves than Saudi Arabia or Russia. Most of it is still in the ground, but if we would bother to extract it, we would be truly energy-independent for the first time in our history.

Newt for vice president

There is no doubt Donald Trump will decide on his running mate without trying to appease a particular political faction. There is also no doubt that he is considering several great alternatives as speculation continues to grow, and that he is listening to some of his most trusted advisors and others.

That post-Brexit freakout didn't take with the financial markets

The day after British voters decided to leave the European Union, we were barraged with media stories about how the sky was falling. And nowhere did they turn to support their case more so than the plunging financial markets.

That day when Herman, Shane, Ashley and Jared amused themselves by weirding people out

In a sea of news negativity, people need to find things to laugh about. Life is not over because of a tragedy, it happens to all of us. Mourn, recover and go on.

George Will crosses the line of reason

The well known conservative writer and TV commentator George Will has finally crossed the line of reason. He's leaving the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.

Brexit bottom line: EU worked for the elite, but not for the British people

To listen to the howling and wailing from the political and media elites, you’d think the British people were forcing their government to close all the hospitals and burn all the schools down. The reaction to Britain’s exit from the European Union has been that over-the-top hysterical.

Media have no idea why Corey Lewandowski has parted ways with Trump campaign

Political media are always obsessed with the so-called inside baseball of what goes on behind the scenes in campaigns. And while they often have no idea what's really going on, or why, that won't stop them from engaging in baseless speculation and trying to convince you they know things they really don't.

No, Hillary, making America great again is not 'going backward'

I'm accustomed to liberals and Democrats approaching issues by shifting the subject, ignoring the facts, and name-calling anyone who disagrees with them. It’s S.I.N.!

Obama tells U.S. forces they can kinda sorta help more with the fight

I seriously wonder if the war in Afghanistan will still be going on in another 15 years. Or another after that. We went in on October 7, 2001 - less than a month after the Twin Towers fell and expressly because the Taliban had aided and harbored Al Qaeda in the run-up to the attacks.

After Orlando, Obama is furious! But not at the shooter . . . he's mad at Donald Trump

You might have heard that President Obama went on a rant last week in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting. He was furious! He really let it all hang out.

The nonsense that is Mitt Romney's 'trickle-down racism' charge against Trump

Mitt Romney's latest attempt to discourage people from supporting Donald Trump is to say he will inspire "trickle-down racism." It's a catchy soundbite, but it's not true. And! I didn't want to do this, but now I feel compelled to illustrate what racism is and is not.

Obama by the numbers

“By almost every economic measure — every economic measure, America is better off when I — better off than when I came here. That is the truth. That’s true.” - President Obama June 1, 2016

No, Trump is not especially ideological . . . and that's not such a bad thing

If one theme is constant among conservative #NeverTrumpers, it’s that Donald Trump is not really a conservative. People cite his past support for things like single-payer health care and abortion rights, as well as his fondness for eminent domain – which he’s used to his advantage as a real estate developer.

Blank slate! (Tabula Rasa)

The late Jack Kemp, the Republicans' vice presidential nominee with Bob Dole in 1996, would often use the phrase "Tabula Rasa" as a way of saying we needed to start over with a blank sheet of paper to analyze and determine a solution to a problem.

Trump therapy: Let me put an end to your anxiety

Even though Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, he had to overcome some strong head winds to get there. Such as?

Trump: It would be 'inappropriate' to debate Bernie

Boom! Liberals and the mainstream media just had a conniption fit because Donald Trump changed his mind. He did so for good reason. It would be inappropriate to debate the soon-to-be second-place finisher in the race for the Democrat presidential nomination.

How Trump won: He didn't let the media mis-define him, and neither did you

It may not be officially official until the Republican convention in July, but Donald Trump last week passed the 1,237-pledged delegate mark, essentially making him the Republican nominee for president. To get a sense of just how extraordinary this is, think back to last summer and fall when the entire world of political punditry was so sure he had no chance, they treated this belief as if it was an unassailable fact.
