Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has kicked up a hornet’s nest of angry leftists with his planned rally this Friday at the University of Illinois-Chicago’s UIC Pavillion. After efforts failed to get the rally cancelled, thousands are planning to protest Trump including students, aldermen and at least one congressman, Rep. Luis Gutierrez. The UIC Pavillion can hold about 10,000 people. Anti-Trump organizers are encouraging protesters to get tickets to the rally in such numbers so as to take it over.

John Howell of WIND Radio used that expression today on Fox News to describe Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Do you think it applies perfectly to "The Pretender to the Presidency and His Men"?

To show balance in his reporting, O’Reilly has unfortunately chosen to target the good people who visit the conservative website, www.FreeRepublic.com.  Last night O’Reilly had on his show a friend of mine, Kristinn Taylor, who is...
