Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump thinks he's overdue some credit for steering the strongest economy on the planet -- and he's probably right. "These numbers are very, very sustainable -- this isn't a one-time shot," Trump said on Friday, speaking from the South Lawn of the White House after news that the US economy grew at a 4.1% annual rate in the second quarter of the year. Fresh from a trip to the Midwestern heartlands, the President is making the very best possible case for his administration as the pace heats up ahead of the midterm elections. He's belting...

Good people of Chicago know that the Trump sign seen over the Windy City’s skyline for years was never a problem. No problem, that is, until the progressive temper tantrums that came after the word ‘President’ was added to his name Was the idea to float balloons of golden pigs covering Trump’s name on his Chicago skyscraper hotel lifted from 20 elementary-age school girls who released a 75-foot handmade rosary of yellow balloons skyward from Chicago’s Michigan Avenue bridge claiming the Magnificent Mile for Mary, on August 14, 2011? “All attempts to get rid of President Trump have so far...

One for the books: As sure as private citizen Barack Hussein Obama will lap up all credit should Brigette Marie-Claude Macron’s little boy Emmanuel win France’s presidential election, pigs really do fly. Pigs don’t only fly these days, they sing while in fanciful flight. And the song they sing is “Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye,” like when they sang off-key in unison as the health care bill crossed the finish line with the 216 votes needed to pass yesterday. …’All together now, one two, three. Nancy, don’t try to be the loudest voice...

Washington Post Slams House Democrats For Pork-Laden Iraq Withdrawal Bill Posted by Noel Sheppard on March 24, 2007 - 17:12. It must have been very chilly in hell on Friday, for the editorial division of a major newspaper actually came down on Democrats. I kid you not. For those that missed it, the Washington Post ran an editorial Friday entitled “Retreat and Butter,” with a sub-headline “Are Democrats in the House voting for farm subsidies or withdrawal from Iraq?” Having asked a tremendously valid question that most in the antiwar media have ignored as the Iraq debate heated up on...

<p>BREAKING NEWS -- Divided three-judge D.C. Circuit panel holds that the District of Columbia's gun control laws violate individuals' Second Amendment rights: You can access today's lengthy D.C. Circuit ruling at this link.</p> <p>To summarize, we conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government (or a threat from abroad). In addition, the right to keep and bear arms had the important and salutary civic purpose of helping to preserve the citizen militia. The civic purpose was also a political expedient for the Federalists in the First Congress as it served, in part, to placate their Antifederalist opponents. The individual right facilitated militia service by ensuring that citizens would not be barred from keeping the arms they would need when called forth for militia duty. Despite the importance of the Second Amendment's civic purpose, however, the activities it protects are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued or intermittent enrollment in the militia.</p>

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Times has ordered its reporters to stop describing anti-American forces in Iraq as "resistance fighters," saying the term romanticizes them and evokes World War II-era heroism. The ban was issued by Melissa McCoy, a Times assistant managing editor, who told the staff in an e-mail circulated on Monday night that the phrase conveyed unintended meaning and asked them to instead use the terms "insurgents" or "guerrillas." McCoy told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday that the memo followed a discussion among top editors at the paper and was not sparked by reader complaints....
