VIDEOTrump Derangement Syndrome is so powerful that it can completely warp its victims into perceiving something that is the exact opposite of reality. Such an example came from a recent Washingtonian magazine article in which its liberal author thought she had a "gotchya" story exposing abuse by President Donald Trump and the management of his Washington, D.C. hotel, when in reality it exposed extreme, bordering on criminal, abuse by those who hate Trump.

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass ?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."

During his campaign, Joe Biden campaigned on “unity” and moderation. Weeks into his presidency, Biden has proven this is not the case with a flurry of job killing regulations and a $1.9 trillion partisan spending plan.As if this were not bad enough, Neera Tanden, President Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), supports countless tax increases on American middle-class families including a soda tax, a carbon tax, a full repeal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and increased Obamacare taxes.Each of these taxes would violate Biden's pledge not to raise a single penny of taxes...

A Supreme Court case focused on a comedy routine mocking a disabled teenager could help shape the limits of free speech — and humor — in Canada.About a decade ago, the comedian Mike Ward, of Quebec, mocked the voice of a well-known disabled teenage singer in a standup routine, roasting him for being off-key, making fun of his hearing aid and calling him “ugly.” But he said he had defended the boy to others because he would soon die. When the teen didn’t die of his illness, the comedian joked, he tried to drown him. This past week, the question...

With 50-50 split, the West Virginia Democrat's votes on minimum wage, controversial nomination are crucial for Biden. =========================================================== Here's the current power structure in Washington: 1. President Joe Biden 2. Vice President Kamala Harris 3. Sen. Joe Manchin Manchin — considered the most conservative Democrat in the Senate — hails from West Virginia, where then-President Trump won in 2020 by a landslide, 68.6% to 29.7%. That means with every Senate vote, Manchin will be torn between his party and his constituents — and voters usually win those battles. His own party is already putting the senator in a tough position....

The SPLC, a liberal activist group that came under criticism two years ago in a New Yorker magazine report that suggested...

The city is doing a full “180” on its plan to shutter Trump-operated ice skating rinks. City Hall on Sunday reversed Mayor de Blasio’s move to shutter Lasker and Wollman rinks in Central Park six weeks ahead of their typical April closing dates — in an effort to freeze-out his political rival.
