I was driving home today and listening to the local news on the radio. They had a typical Trump hit piece of an interview with a local Democratic Party Congressman in DC. The Congressman said that the Russian inquiry is at a critical stage where new sweeping revolations are coming every day. In particular he stated that it is now known that Trump Jr. was in touch with Wikileaks and as everyone knows Wikileaks is an agent of the Russian government.

Sitting down for a friendly chat with Chelsea Clinton on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie sympathized with her one-time network colleague over Hillary Clinton’s “devastating” loss in the 2016 election: “Well, we know of course that your mom is a woman who inspires you....She’s actually been more in the spotlight recently, and really, I think, seeming to open up about the emotional process of dealing with an election loss. She’s called it a ‘crushing and devastating blow.’” Guthrie fretted: “Set politics aside, just as a human, what has it been like for you as a daughter to see her...

Will Boo Hoo Bama now take to city streets with lesser known Snowflakes waving a placard emblazoned with the words ‘He’s not MY president’? Raise your hand anyone who ever saw Barack Hussein Obama in a bar raising a glass with the common rubes?

GLASGOW (Reuters) - Britain's ruling Labour Party lost a parliamentary seat in one of its traditional strongholds, a stinging electoral setback for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, results showed on Friday. Defeat in Thursday's poll in the Glasgow East constituency, which Labour won with a huge 13,500 majority at the 2005 election, will fuel Labour discontent with Brown's leadership and could lead to moves to oust him, some analysts believe. The pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) scored a dramatic victory by a slim 365-vote margin as voters in Britain's third-largest city turned against Labour in droves. The result, following a series...

ELECTION POST-MORTEM While most Republicans woke up this morning lamenting Armageddon Tuesday, some of us didn?t lose any sleep over the election results. Happy at the prospect of two years with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi running Congress? Hardly. But there are a lot of silver linings behind these otherwise dark clouds? * The single, most important lesson here: Democrats didn?t win; Republicans lost. And they didn?t just lose; they were routed. Voters didn?t reward Democrats, they punished Republicans. Badly. This wasn?t the country saying it wanted to go further Left; it was the country saying Republicans had already taken...

JEDDAH, 8 November — THE DAY after the US midterm elections this week was a dark one for Democrats: President Bush and his Republican candidates swept the elections, regaining control of the Senate, adding seats to their majority in the House of Representatives and winning a few key governorships in New England (Massachusetts and New Hampshire). No matter that the Democrats had won the governorships of Michigan and Pennsylvania, key industrial states, the losses in the Senate were humiliating enough. My take on the whole debacle is that the Democrats have been scared ever since the attacks of Sept. 11,...
