The top State Department official under Barack Obama who negotiated the Iran deal has praised President Trump on two foreign policy points — both of which should be easy for Democrats who are not obsessed with removing or damaging the President over supporting what is demonstrably good for America. But of course they aren’t interested in that. If Democrats ravaged by Trump Derangement Syndrome immediately leap to blaming the Coronavirus on President Trump, then all lunacy is possible. The first point of praise was the proposed Afghanistan peace deal to end the 18-year war the U.S. has been bogged down...

The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against the New York Times for a 2019 article that claimed Trump had a deal with Putin for Russian help against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The suit cites a total lack of evidence or facts in the Times article and argues that the paper showed a "reckless disregard for the truth and malice toward the candidate." Spokesperson for the Times Gunar Bile belittled the suit, calling it "legally merit-less. The courts have granted the press blanket immunity against libel claims unless the plaintiff can prove malice. Malice is a subjective thing....

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday announced he was endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden in his bid for the White House. Reid lauded Biden as the candidate best fit to assemble the largest coalition to defeat President Trump and “lead our country following the trauma of Trump’s presidency.” “Joe Biden’s strength of character and deep experience stand in the starkest contrast to Trump’s amorality, corruption and utter incompetence,” Reid said in a statement. “Biden will be a much-needed stabilizing force following Trump’s disastrous term, offering a positive and progressive alternative to Trump’s dark vision of racism,...

To understand why Bernie Sanders’ ideas are immoral, imagine if parents raised their child based on his principles. One of the hardest things to teach children is that wanting something doesn’t give them the right to take it. Selfishness comes naturally, after all. As a father of two toddlers, I know this firsthand. My older toddler’s favorite toy is whatever his younger brother is playing with. My wife and I have to correct and discipline him over this. We want him to learn that it’s wrong to take things that don’t belong to you. That’s very different than Sanders’ view...

The coronavirus could damage people's kidneys and send their immune systems 'haywire' as well as infecting the lungs, according to scientists. More than 90,000 people have now been infected with the disease, which is known to cause serious lung damage and deadly pneumonia. It does this by attaching to and reproducing in tissue inside the lungs, where it kills cells in the process of spreading. As the cells are killed they drop off the lungs' linings and build up in clumps inside the organs, making it hard to breathe and triggering further infections. The virus can also send the immune...

Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are giving their writing hands — and green thumbs — a workout, penning their first children's book together about gardening. The pair revealed details of their forthcoming book, "Grandma's Gardens," on Monday. The picture book is inspired by the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee's mother, Dorothy Rodham, and her love of gardening. Rodham, the book's publisher says, taught the Clintons that gardens are "magical places to learn, exciting spaces for discovery, quiet spots to spend time with family and beautiful areas to share stories and celebrate special occasions."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has endorsed Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. The move on Monday comes as part of an establishment avalanche in the former vice president's favor heading into the Super Tuesday lineup that features 14 state primaries.

The work crew had started ripping off the roof of Belinda Hungate's home in Spring Hill on February 20 when she was woken by the noise. She then confronted the crew, but she said that they didn't speak English. . . . 'They did not speak English. The sub-contractor is from Honduras. No business cards, no contractors license,' her husband Philip Hungate told DailyMail.com. 'My wife called me at work in a panic saying there were guys on the roof and they were tearing things off.'

I booked this trip to Marakech 6 months ago, since it would fulfill my bucket list of visiting every populated continent. There is no way I am going to Antartica.

The Charleston episode of the Democrats' dog and pony show might be titled "So-What-And-The-Seven-Whatnots". The "cast off characters" includes "Moe", "Larry", "Curly Joe Biden", "Shemp", "Dopey", "Sleepy", and "Sneezey". Michael Bloomberg plays "Moe" and of course Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) plays "Dopey". The performers were unconvincing as presidential candidates. If Democrats want to continue the program, they should replace the cast or hire comedy writers and turn it into a comedy.

Like any disease, it started slowly. The media’s first line of coronavirus attack were insinuations of xenophobia when the administration placed travel restrictions from China in January. After that, there was fretting from CNN and others that the coronavirus response team was just too white and too male.

Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg is set to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential race one day after suspending his own campaign, according to a source close to the Biden campaign. Buttigieg's planned endorsement comes as another moderate former presidential contender, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), also plans to throw her support behind Biden after she dropping out on Monday. The latest endorsements for Biden point to a consolidation of the moderate lane of the Democratic race in an effort to block progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from getting the nomination. SNIP

Born in 1952 in communist Hungary, Teglasy survived multiple abortion attempts on his life. Today, he is a dedicated pro-life advocate who has helped to save tens of thousands of unborn babies from abortion.

A friend of mine who is a recovering democrat, forgot to switch their party affiliation so they got a primary ballot for Colorado and they asked me who they should vote for to help out the President. He loathes communists, really hates Bloomberg and think Biden is a senile old man who could be used to sneak a worse VP choice in. He was going to register Independent, but got to busy and now has a ballot for the Dem primary. He has stated he will definitely vote for Trump in November, and regrets throwing his vote away on the...

Joe Biden is one of the most honest, decent, practical, & experienced individuals with whom I have ever worked. If nominated & elected, he is capable of unifying our country & restoring America’s standing around the world. https://t.co/JUtvAfPSLy— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) March 2, 2020

A federal judge Monday granted a request from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to have former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sit for a sworn deposition to answer questions about her use of a private email server to conduct government business. Clinton has argued that she has already answered questions about this and should not have to do so again, but D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in his ruling that her past responses left much to be desired. "As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she...

GRANADA HILLS, Calif. (KABC) -- The husband of the Los Angeles district attorney is accused of pulling a gun on Black Lives Matter activists in a video captured outside of their Granada Hills home Monday morning, just one day before Tuesday's primary. A man - who protesters identified as David Lacey, the husband of L.A.'s chief prosecutor Jackie Lacey - wielded what appeared to be a handgun while threatening to shoot the protesters if they did not leave the property. The disturbing video was tweeted Monday morning by Melina Abdullah, a Black Lives Matter organizer. The footage was also tweeted...
