A small but growing group of congressmen and women have announced they will not attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, breaking with generations of past precedent. In statements explaining their decisions, the members of Congress, who have all been Democrats thus far, cited Trump’s rhetoric on women, Muslims and immigrants, as well as concerns about the role Russian hacking may have played in the

I am wondering if anyone else heard a comment made by newscaster Kelly Mack on KNBC 4 Morning News this morning. When talking with another commentator about President Bush's Innaugaral speech, she said,( and I am paraphrasing here)" Just goes to show , you have to take anything President Bush says, with a grain of salt." I have already called KNBC and made a major complaint. If you heard it, please express your disgust for such a comment. KNBC (818-840-4444)

It must have killed John Kerry to be up there on the stage, so close but yet so far. Nancy Pelosi showed up only because she had to, all the while the talking heads were spewing forth terms such as unification and reconciliation. My question is, do we really want Bush to patch things up with the likes of Kerry and Pelosi? It is a fact that our country is divided, and I for one like it that way. I have no problem with Nancy and her flunkies preaching hate against the free market economy, and all whe benefits from...

No Country Left Behind "President Bush's speech was impressive, and also frightening to those who suspect that he really meant it.

His second inaugural address was that of a large man indeed, eloquently weaving the big themes of his presidency and...

Although I am not some beltway insider, I think I understand a little bit about the game of politics. I know that there was no way that Johnny Kerry was going to give his stamp of approval to Condi Rice, even though Kerry made statements about the Iraqi WMD's that didn't pan out. As far as Babs Boxer goes, what really can you expect from someone who is so far to the left. I don't have any problems with the Senators putting Condi on the hot seat, because I know that she will tell the truth and stand up for...

I was reading this past weekend about a poll that was done on the second Bush term. It made a little splash in the online mags, but that was about it. The Associated Press poll found that a majority of Americans are hopeful about W's second term in office, even though we are knee deep in the war in Iraq. You may ask yourself, what happened to all the Democrats who were going to start a mass exodus to Canada? Or what about the folks in South Florida who are suffering from Post Election Selection Disorder (PEST), where are they...
