Unlike their Republican counterparts, Democrats have been mostly trusting of the media, with 69 percent of respondents who said they trust the media to report the news “fully, fairly, and accurately.” The survey mostly fell along partisan lines, creating a wide gap between those who trust and those who distrust the media. The latest poll is a four-percent decrease from the year before among every other group surveyed....

[PHOTO] It looks to me like the Leadership Democrats, and their leftist supporters, their fanatic enablers and enforcers, have all gone crazy. An age of reason is dead. Democrats and leftists tell us there’s no border emergency; there are no terrorists; nothing’s wrong; nobody got killed who wasn’t begging for it. Trump is evil and stupid. Everybody on the left is somehow smarter. “Fageddaboudit,” we are told by oily New Yawk politicians. Forget about Trump’s booming economy, booming oil production, booming world, and booming on jihadists everywhere. [PHOTO] Everywhere, from every liberal, we are instructed. From every Democrat we are...

Obama and the Democrats passed Obamacare on a straight party vote without any Republican input or votes using a parliamentary trick by Harry Reid.  Among other lies, Obama promised that premiums would be reduced and everyone would keep his doctor.  The basis of Obamacare was to force young healthy Americans to purchase expensive health insurance for coverage they did not need and to have taxpayers pay insurance companies to subsidize premiums for low-income Americans.   The health insurance issues could have been, and still can be, resolved by specific laws dealing with specific issues.  For example, allow insurance to be...

The overseers of the U.S. intelligence community have not embraced a CIA assessment that Russian cyber attacks were aimed at helping Republican President-elect Donald Trump win the 2016 election, three American officials said on Monday. While the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does not dispute the CIA's analysis of Russian hacking operations, it has not endorsed their assessment because of a lack of conclusive evidence that Moscow intended to boost Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, said the officials, who declined to be named.

The U.S. economy produced another solid month of job gains in January, offering a hopeful sign for hiring in the year ahead. Employers added a net 243,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported Friday. That’s higher than December, when employers added a net 200,000 jobs, and it marked the seventh straight month in which at least 100,000 jobs were created. That hasn't happened since 2005. The nation’s unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in January from 8.5 percent in the prior month. The unemployment rate has fallen for the past five months and is now at its lowest level...

This week the big political news was the fact that The Drudge Report obtained a Democratic manual outlining how to fabricate voter harassment stories at polling places in order to make it appear that Republicans were using “heavy handed” tactics to “steal the election for Bush” again. Just for curiosity – I watched the CBS Evening News with Dan RatherElectKerry on Friday night to see what they were spoon-feeding their ideologs. Did CBS give the public the “real” real political story of the week? No – instead they did a 2-minute segment on voter registration fraud. In this segment they...
