On Monday evening, President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Trump v. United States, a 6-3 decision which found that presidents has immunity when acting in what the Court stressed was their official capacity. How did he manage to do so? He spoke for less than four minutes, and left without taking any questions. In case there was any doubt how he felt, the president screeched that he agreed with Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent, declaring "I dissent!" That doesn't mean Biden wasn't prone to some truly hypocritical points in his remarks, which were very clearly prewritten by someone else and...

Former President Donald Trump is laying out a revenge plan to get back at the Democratic Party after they have politically punished him since his first day of office in 2016.

That action, along with tagging another Trump tweet commenting on the need for law enforcement and civil and state authorities to confront rioting in Minneapolis as possibly promoting violence interferes...

When Sam Bodman’s name appeared in the news as President Bush’s choice to lead the Department of Energy, the dominant reaction the press was to treat him as “unknown.” But he is a man of great accomplishment, as an engineer, a scholar, and businessman, and as a brilliant official in a sub-cabinet position.
