Forget Elizabeth Warren. What the Democratic Party, and the nation, need is a real debate between Hillary Clinton's interventionism and the vice president's restraint. Joe Biden’s prospective presidential candidacy is in danger of becoming a joke. Every week, some new Democratic bigwig pledges himself to Hillary Clinton. Pro-Hillary groups have already assembled to fend off hostile campaign press. At last weekend’s White House Correspondents Dinner, President Obama added to the air of inevitability by teasing Fox News, “You’ll miss me when I’m gone. It’ll be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.” If there’s any...

Every subjugated people was eventually set free by the triumphant intervention of the Allied nations. Putin should not forget this.” Perhaps, though, Russian President Vladimir Putin is remembering that Russia made significant territorial gains during and after...

by Brian Hayes | Top Right NewsJoe Biden might have just let slip the administration’s plans to stop all deportations of illegal aliens. While House Republicans have thus far resisted attempts to pass amnesty for illegals (despite the best efforts of pro-amnesty Speaker John Boehner), Democrats have been targeted by illegal alien activists and Obama has been criticized over deportations of illegal aliens. While giving a commencement speech at Miami-Dade College, Biden was interrupted by a protester yelling “Stop Deportations!” His response could be significant:

Okay, let me just get this out of the way: Another Correspondent’s Dinner, another “off-the-shoulder perfection” for Lady M.

I guess she’s always had a thing for writers.For his part of the party, Big Guy hired the best comedy writers in the country and all he got in return was polite laughter.

According to the Associated Press, the vice president, who is a potential 2016 presidential candidate and has made no secret about wanting to court the Democrat party's liberal base, replied, "We'll do that, too, kid, but let me finish my...
