In his letter to James Comey accusing him of violating the Hatch Act, Harry Reid also accused Comey of being privy to “explosive information” regarding Trump‘s ties to Russia. This is an act of terrible political genius bordering on savagery on the part of Harry Reid. Of course the term “explosive information” means nothing at all, but … Read more
Donald Trump to the public: These are the greatest assets anywhere! Donald Trump to the government: These old shacks aren’t worth spit. He talked the tax board in Las Vegas into knocking the appraisal of his Trump Hotel down to $25 million, then the very next week, listed its value at $50 million in his … Read more
Trump tells his crowd to poll-watch, adding, “You know what that means.” No, tell us, Donald, because if what “that means” is even close to how Republicans monitored voting stations in key minority districts back in 1981, it will spell out big trouble for Republicans, as if they’re not already swimming drowning in it now.

Despite what the latest polls say, will we as Americans elect our first (in the words of Democratic Primary presidential candidate Martin O’Malley) fascist president? The polls say no—but I am still uneasy. I have evangelical relatives who believe their pastors who tell them that Trump, as imperfect as he is, was sent by God. I have conservative … Read more
