The mounting evidence that Hilary Clinton is bi-sexual will, of course, be ignored by the media who sees its first job as getting Democrats elected not telling the truth about anything. They have done this before. During Franklin Roosevelt’s Administration his wife Eleanor carried on a very active extra marital sex life. The first glimpse of this was right before eyes of a decidedly disinterested press corps. They did their job and lied by omission to cover for their Democrat king’s queen. Eleanor Roosevelt had a flaming physical relationship with a 5’8” 200 pound cigar chopping “butch” named Lorena Hickok...

The exchange's 37,000 enrollees can re-enroll on the federal Healthcare.gov exchange for the 2016 plan year. Hawaii Health Connector has faced financial problems from its inception. A report issued earlier this year found that...

MOUNT MORRIS, N.Y. -- Authorities say a trail of macaroni salad leading away from a western New York restaurant helped police track down three burglary suspects. Police say they learned the tripped-up trio stole a large bowl of the macaroni and took turns eating it while making their getaway. The suspects were in custody by early Sunday afternoon. All three are charged with burglary, criminal mischief and grand larceny.

A 17-year-old boy has been charged as an adult for his role in beating a 61-year-old alongside a group of approximately 50 other teens in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 22. Richard Fletcher was brutally beaten by the teens after he went outside to ask two girls who were fighting on top of his truck to move along and continue their dispute elsewhere. The mob of teens began to hit and kick Fletcher until he fell to the ground, but the attack didn't end. After the beating last month, Fletcher was left with broken eye sockets, a broken nose, broken ribs...

The headlines I’ve seen this morning about this exchange claim that Bush said he wouldn’t rescind Obama’s executive action “right away,” which is sort of true. What Jeb said is that he’d rescind the amnesty as part of a deal with Congress on immigration. That won’t happen on day one of his presidency, so yeah, technically O’s order would remain intact for at least a few months while President Bush works out the details of the new bill with the House and Senate. But focusing on the timing misses the point of what Jeb’s implying: If Republicans in Congress refuse...

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is slamming the NFL’s priorities as out of whack because of the league's decision to suspend New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady but live with the Washington Redskins “racist” franchise name.

"From 1947 when [the] Bretton Woods System really got operating to 1971, when the dollar was convertible into gold at a 35th of an ounce, unemployment in America averaged 4.7 percent. And then we got rid of the Bretton Woods system — we defaulted on it — we went to fiat money, and in the years from 1971 to today, unemployment has averaged significantly above 6 percent. Low unemployment: gold standard. High unemployment: fiat money. But it’s not just unemployment. The bankruptcy rate which Elizabeth Warren likes to focus on was one point something per thousand for years, and suddenly...

Energy and environmental regulations finalized by the Obama administration in the past five years come with a hefty price tag of $460.5 billion, according to data compiled by a center-right think tank. The American Action Forum’s Regulation Rodeo database shows that the Obama administration finalized 275 energy and environment regulations between 2009 and 2014, with the price tag of each regulation averaging $1.75 billion. And that doesn’t even consider the paperwork companies will have to complete. AAF data shows that Obama’s energy regulations have burdened Americans with 24.3 million paperwork hours. That means every year, Americans have to complete an...

What if you won an election butt the incumbent refused to leave?I know, silly isn’t it? However that’s exactly what happened in Alabama. Employees of an Alabama plant will be voting for the fifth time on whether it will oust the United Auto Workers union. The union has lost three of the four previous votes at NTN-Bower Corporation, but has filed appeals with the National Labor Relations Board alleging management interference.The one vote won by the union was nullified for voting irregularities. In that January vote, only 139 of the plant's 140 workers voted, but a total of 148 ballots...

The U.S. is seeking a rapprochement with Iran over its nuclear program, potentially ending several decades of hostility. But while the U.S. is extending an open hand to Iran, other countries in the Middle East are casting a wary eye towards the negotiations. In fact, it is starting to appear that Gulf Arab states could be a major impediment to a final agreement over Iran’s nuclear program. Led by Saudi Arabia, many of the oil-producing members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are skeptical of, if not downright hostile towards Iran. With little trust between Iran and its Arab neighbors,...

Over two million Americans make a full-time or part-time living selling merchandise on Amazon.com. Roughly 200 of them attended last week's Sellers' Conference of Online Entrepreneurs (SCOE) in Philadelphia, a semi-annual trade show focused entirely on the do's and don'ts of selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy and other popular online retail platforms. Attendees were treated to three whole days of world-class speakers (including -- full disclosure -- yours truly, who gave a talk titled "Beyond Amazon and eBay: Building a Successful e-Commerce Empire, One Step at a Time"), presentations by 36 companies providing goods and services to Amazon sellers, and...

Apparently, the answer is ‘yes’: "Cuba has eased its persecution of religion in the last 23 years, but there have been few overtures suggesting the country’s executive office might be finding its faith. "That changed Sunday when President Raul Castro said the teachings of Pope Francis had persuaded him not only to take a softer line on religion, but perhaps to return to the Catholic Church and begin worshipping again as he once did, growing up in Jesuit schools." Now, you could interpret that to mean that Raul Castro has suddenly seen the light and decided that marxism is not...

Last week, Pakistan made international headlines by releasing Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, a suspected mastermind of the 2008 siege on Mumbai that killed 166 people, from prison on bail. What many people don’t know is that an American citizen also played a key role in planning the attacks, which were so traumatic that they’re often described as “India’s 9/11.” His name is David Coleman Headley — and he’s the subject of American Terrorist, a 90-minute special from FRONTLINE and ProPublica that premieres at 10 pm EST tonight on PBS (check local listings) and online. Drawing on new analysis of Snowden documents,...

When former President Bill Clinton takes center stage at Univision’s upfront presentation Tuesday, it will mark more than just one of his many paid appearances. The relationship between the Clintons and Univision is deep — from owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillary Clinton’s election effort to a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Foundation, to the network’s newscasts that have bashed Republicans and, most recently, praised Hillary’s new position on immigration — putting her squarely in line with the network’s stance on the issue. Univision and the Clinton Foundation joined forces in 2014 for a multi-year early childhood initiative...

Have we just witnessed Hillary Clinton's first Ohio move? "A new lawsuit filed Monday in federal court seeks to restore Golden Week in Ohio and takes aim at other voting changes that the suit claims will disproportionately burden black, Latino and young voters," Robert Higgs of the Northeast Ohio Media Group reports. "The action, which names Secretary of State Jon Husted and Attorney General Mike DeWine as defendants, was filed by a group called Ohio Organizing Collaborative and three individuals. Their lawyers have links to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party."

More and more people are having the disturbing experience of seeing their doctors spend more time pecking at a computer keyboard than examining them. The doctors are entering data into their patients’ electronic health records (EHRs) in compliance with federal rules introduced a few years ago. EHRs drive doctors crazy. Their own experience tells them that electronic recordkeeping interferes with care, by taking time away from patients. In a survey conducted by the Deloitte consulting group, three of four doctors said EHRs are not worth the cost. The influential RAND Corporation, which had long endorsed EHRs, reported in 2013 that...

Reagan showed us the way: Time for constitutional conservative true grit in the face of an entrenched establishment hierarchy instead of blind, emotional party allegiance to a Progressive RINO Establishment Republican Party loyalists are having a tough time of it lately; a consequence of one sellout after another at the hands of the Republican-held House and Senate leadership. Perceptive Republicans are used to it: they’ve had to march a long, tough slog since Ronald Reagan departed the Oval Office.

The Loretta Lynch nomination to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General sailed smoothly through, after a cooling-off period; House Majority Leader John...
